Although Pang Jindong didn't know about it before, when he heard such a conversation at this time, he could roughly understand the relationship between the two people, and he completely relaxed.

Deqin Badan sighed, somewhat helpless: "I am a military order, and I have to do it as a last resort!"

Pang Wenlan smiled faintly and asked, "Commander Deqin Bataan is willing to meet with us?"

Deqin Badan's eyes rolled and he asked rhetorically, "What good ideas does General Pang have?"

Pang Wenlan did not answer, but made a gesture of "please": "Please borrow a step to speak." ”

Deqin Ba Dan nodded, followed Pang Wenlan away from the crowd, and went to a distance to talk alone.

No one could hear what the conversation was about, only the two of them nodding or shaking their heads from time to time.

After about half an hour, Pang Wenlan suddenly raised his voice: "In this case, the old man will leave it alone!"

This sentence is not only to Dechen Badan, but also to tell his own people that they can go back.

After returning to everyone, Deqin Bataan noticed Pang Jindong and immediately asked Pang Wenlan: "This young man has never seen him before, who is it?"

Pang Jindong stood there, with his subordinates next to him, and at first sight, he knew that he was in charge, not an ordinary soldier.

And the officers in the Kokang Republican Army, Dechen Bataan has basically seen it.

"Oh, he's my nephew, just from China. Pang Wenlan's introduction was very simple, and Pang Jindong didn't say anything himself, but just nodded to Deqin Badan, which was regarded as a greeting.

After the two sides separated, Pang Jindong came to Pang Wenlan's side, lowered his voice and asked, "Fourth grandfather, do you want to say anti-Deqin Badan?"

Pang Wenlan nodded slightly and continued: "Smart. ”

Pang Jindong didn't take his uncle's praise to heart, but was more concerned about whether this matter could be successful: "Did Deqin Bataan agree?"

"There is no clear statement. Although he said so, Pang Wenlan had a confident expression.

Pang Jindong felt very uneasy: "Is it really possible for him to join us?"

"Yes!" Pang Wenlan nodded and said categorically: "And this possibility is still very big!"

Pang Jindong was aroused by his uncle's words, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it, but after thinking about it, he felt that his uncle might not be willing to let him know too much, so he swallowed the words to his lips.

Pang Wenlan noticed that Pang Jindong seemed to want to ask something, and smiled faintly, and calmly told Pang Jindong: "For your nephew, the fourth grandfather has nothing to hide...... " Then, Pang Wenlan told the background and experience of Deqin Bataan and his people, and then concluded: "Deqin Badan, a person who is completely sinicized and dissatisfied with the MD government, is exactly the object we can woo." ”

"With all due respect, listening to the conversation just now, the fourth grandfather and Deqin Bataan should have known each other for a long time. In that case, why didn't the fourth grandfather think of rebelling against him in the past?"

"Just because there is the possibility of rebellion does not mean that there will be an opportunity for rebellion. Pang Wenlan shook his head and said, "Although Deqin Bataan belongs to our enemy, after so many years, he has never fought us head-on, so the fourth grandfather has not spoken. ”

Hearing his uncle say this, Pang Jindong somewhat understood: "So that's the case!"

"As an officer in the MD government, after all, he has a legal status and is well paid. In contrast, our Kokang Republican Army has always been an unpopular bandit. People go to high places, water flows to low places, and people have no reason to abandon the bright and the dark, and ...... is dark" Pang Wenlan's words were somewhat self-deprecating, revealing a sense of sadness and helplessness: "Your fourth grandfather himself is stable and does not enjoy it, but he wants to live a turbulent life, and he can't tell whether it is right or wrong, so he can't force others to be like this......"

For a long time, Pang Wenlan has left the impression that Pang Jindong is decisive and strong, and now it is the first time to hear the deflating words from his mouth, which makes Pang Jindong feel very surprised.

However, after thinking about it, Pang Jindong can also understand that his uncle has paid a great price for sticking to his ideals, and has spent most of his life in the jungle for this, but he has not seen any improvement in the past few decades.

With a team of more than 1,000 people living in Changqing Mountain, always guarding against the encirclement and suppression of the MD government army, it is not easy to protect itself, and it is simply a long way to win freedom and independence for all the Kokang people.

If it was in the past, Pang Wenlan would have had enough time and patience to wait and look for opportunities, but now that he is old and has few days to come, his lifelong dream cannot be realized.

Of course, there is also Pang Tianpet, Pang Tianpet also has children, and even Pang Jindong, who can work hard from generation to generation.

However, the world is impermanent, and no one can know what the future will be, and no one can ensure that Pang Wenlan's descendants will adhere to this ideal for a long time.

So he couldn't see his dream come true, and Pang Wenlan was somewhat discouraged.

"Fourth grandfather, people often say, 'do your best and obey the destiny of heaven', we do our best to struggle, as for whether we can achieve it is not up to us to decide. As long as we look back on the present and have no regrets about ourselves, it is enough. ”

Pang Wenlan nodded heavily: "Well said." ”

Pang Jindong originally wanted to continue to comfort his uncle and say something that he firmly believed that bold freedom and independence were about to be realized, but after thinking about it, Pang Jindong still didn't say it.

After all, Uncle Zu is not a three-year-old child, and he cannot be deceived by a few false lies, on the contrary, he sees the problem far more deeply and broadly than himself.

So, Pang Jindong turned the topic back and continued to discuss Deqin Badan: "I take the liberty of speculating that the time to plot against Deqin Bataan should be ripe now. ”

"You're right. Pang Wenlan's frustration was only a moment's work, and he soon recovered his usual appearance, and when he said this, he was even more confident: "This is determined by two aspects, one is that Dechen Danba was finally sent to attack us, and he is not willing to fight with us; on the other hand, he has never been on good terms with the commander of the 77th Division, Tonglai, and sooner or later he will find an opportunity to get rid of him, and he will not be able to fight Tonglai at all, so he can only find another way." ”

"Is this Thonglai very capable?"

"Don't talk about whether you have the ability for the time being, at least the backstage is very hard, and his brother-in-law is General Maung Aye. However, Dechen Bataan only has one 206th regiment, what can he do to fight with others?!" After a pause, Pang Wenlan added: "In terms of Tonglai's style of acting, if you want to get rid of someone, you will never change your mind. Even if this person leaves his sight and hides incognito, he will try to find it. What's more, Thonglai's resentment and dissatisfaction with Dechen Bataan are probably not a star. ”

"So, plotting against Deqin Danba is a sure thing?"

"So to speak!" Pang Wenlan patted Pang Jindong on the shoulder and said very happily: "You are really my lucky general, just arrived at Changqing Mountain, you brought me such a great gift! If Tonglai sends others to attack us, I don't know what to do!"

"The fourth grandfather is really a winner, and the nephew is ashamed! I think it is the fourth grandfather who strategizes and wins a thousand miles!"

Pang Jindong is by no means a sycophant, no matter whether the other party is his elder or not, he will not say some compliments lightly. But as long as it is spoken, it must be that it is really thought in the heart.

The fact is just as Pang Jindong said, as soon as he knew that the person who came to attack Changqing Mountain was Deqin Badan, Pang Wenlan already had an idea in his heart.

After a conversation just now, it had been decided that the 206th Regiment would surrender to the Kokang Republican Army, and Pang Wenlan and Dechen Bataan had already negotiated all the details.

But in terms of Pang Wenlan's temperament, he was too lazy to explain what he had done to his juniors, so he didn't tell Pang Jindong about this.

"Of course, it would be best if Dechen Danba could take refuge with the whole group of people and equipment, but he has difficulties......

The so-called "difficulty" here, Pang Jindong can think of it with a little analysis, but Pang Jindong is unwilling to express himself too much, so he respectfully asked his uncle: "What kind of difficulty?"

"Dechen Danba himself has no family, and he has no worries, but the officers and soldiers under his command are not like this. If they take refuge in us, the MD government will definitely retaliate against their families. ”

"What is the fourth grandfather going to do?"

"Those who are willing to come are welcome, and those who are not willing to come are dismissed, simply put, to stay. In short, we cannot force people to join us, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable because of this, and we will never be able to fight. ”

When Pang Wenlan was still in China in his early years, he summed up a set of experiences on conscription.

In the civil and foreign wars of that year, his side recruited strong men everywhere in order to expand the army, and forced civilians to join the army.

As a result, although the size of the army has increased, the weapons and equipment cannot be improved in the same way, and the number of soldiers has not increased.

Many soldiers were originally reluctant to become soldiers, and their feelings were very negative, coupled with the corruption of officers and the corruption of military discipline, desertion occurred from time to time, and the combat ability of the guide zhì was low.

During the Anti-Japanese War, it was often a division that could not withstand the Dongying people, and the evil results were obvious.

The combat effectiveness of an army depends on each soldier, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers depends on their spirit, and an important factor that determines the spirit of soldiers is whether they are willing or forced to wear military uniforms.

Those who originally had the dream of serving in the military will exert their subjective initiative in the greatest way after coming to the army, while those who only want to be honest farmers or workers, even if they become soldiers, they are still essentially farmers or workers.

This has led to the phenomenon that, regardless of the level of weaponry, countries that practice universal compulsory military service have less combat power than countries with a system of voluntary military service, although the size of their armies is relatively large.

In the former case, if the economy is developed, it can boost morale through good treatment, but if it is unfortunately poor, it is very fatal.

After Pang Wenlan arrived at MD, he learned the lessons of that year, and in the development of the size of the army, quality was not guaranteed, so that every soldier was willing to join the Kokang Republican Army rather than forced to join it.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Kokang Republican Army has the strongest combat effectiveness among the various armed forces in MD.

But it is also for this reason that the Kokang IRA has not been able to reach the size it should have been, otherwise it could have at least doubled in number.

Pang Jindong and Pang Wenlan chatted all the way, returned to Changqing Mountain, and just entered Pang Wenlan's study, a herald who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly ran over and reported to Pang Jindong and Pang Wenlan: "General Pang, deputy commander-in-chief, I have been looking for you everywhere!"

Because his uncle was beside him, although Pang Jindong was the deputy commander-in-chief, he didn't dare to trespass, so he didn't say anything.

Pang Wenlan waved his hand: "Say, what's the matter!"

"The SAR Government issued a statement accusing us of tearing up the peace agreement and undermining the stability in the Kokang region, and ordering us to surrender within 24 hours. ”

Pang Wenlan snorted heavily from his nostrils: "Bullshit peace agreement, did I sign it in the first place?! Did I agree to this agreement?!"

Pang Wenlan's words are just whining, these things are not the herald's right to express his opinion, the herald can only continue to report according to the truth: "They also said that if we surrender, we can be lightly punished, otherwise we will ......."

"How else?"

"Otherwise, we will conquer Changqing Mountain and rectify the Fa on the spot......

The herald originally thought that Pang Wenlan would definitely be furious after knowing about this incident, but he didn't expect Pang Wenlan to laugh out loud and seemed to be unconcerned.

The herald breathed a sigh of relief and asked Pang Wenlan: "Do you want me to show you the original text of the statement?"

"No need!" Pang Wenlan waved his hand and said casually: "If they have the ability, just let the horses come!"

"But...... However, the troops of the SAR government are already on their way, and there are about three hours left before they can reach Changqing Mountain!"

"Oh?" Pang Wenlan had just sat down, and when he heard this, he immediately stood up, looked directly at the herald, and looked a little nervous: "Is it Peng Renhao personally commanding?"

"According to the intelligence, it is!"

"That's good!" After getting this answer, Pang Wenlan felt very relaxed and sat back in his chair.

Seeing Pang Wenlan's expression, the people in the room who knew the inside story were very confused.

For a long time, Pang Wenlan was afraid that Peng Renhao was pinching the lifeline of the Kokang Republican Army, and had to endure it again and again in many things, but at this moment, Pang Wenlan threw away this jealousy, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to fight with Peng Renhao.
