Part III: Rising Africa Section 66 Tours
Colonel Wall kept raising the price in his heart, and Jiang's face, which had always been easy to speak, became worse and worse, "10 million arms, including 10 Humvee military vehicles equipped with the latest Stinger launch system. ”
"Why not go to Thailand, but to Sri Lanka?" Jiang Zhonghua still asked the question, and the resentment sneaked in with the wind, filling the entire room.
I still have a grudge in my heart! Colonel Wall said, "The above conditions remain the same, send 10 more Humvees, Sri Lanka is a member of the British Commonwealth, unlike Thailand, which will attract too much attention, you are also a person with status now, where to go not to attract the attention of the world?" Be considerate, friend. ”
This foreigner even uses understanding so well, Jiang Zhonghua said, "I ask the top leader for this, you know, I also have difficulties, tell me who is going to meet me?" ”
It is a pleasure to speak to someone who understands, and even diplomatic rhetoric can be omitted, Colonel Wall said happily, "Senator Carl Mack, he is just going to Sri Lanka for a private party. ”
Carl Mark is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, the National Security Council, and the Business Committee. The outside media once attacked Carl as an extremist, a fanatical American.
"How can I guarantee my safety, it's a Commonwealth country, not the United States of America." Jiang Zhonghua said that there was a pause here, "What's more, your reputation is not very good, it's better to be careful." ”
Can't slap his face like this, Colonel Wall's face flushed, "Diplomatic passport, you can bring guards, we can coordinate with the Sri Lankan side, we helped them a lot back then." ”
"Then let's do this first, send the things over first, and I'll tell you about the personnel and the distance." Jiang Zhonghua asked
After Colonel Wall left, Jiang Zhonghua met with Zuo Wu, the commander of the new 6th Division, and this was the second time they had met.
"Are you still used to it in Yinglong City? How are you doing with Zhao Yonggang these days? Are these arrogant soldiers putting on a face? Jiang Zhonghua asked.
Zhao Yonggang, deputy commander of the 1st Division, was transferred to the newly formed 2nd Division as the division commander and concurrently served as the commander of the Bamo Garrison District. Unified command of all units on the western front of the Maili West. The second division is a type B division, and the main force is composed of elite forces selected and transferred from various units, and has jurisdiction over three infantry battalions, each battalion has three infantry companies, one machine gun company, one special service company, one artillery company, and one tank detachment (two Black Hawk tanks). The Second Regiment was formed from the original recruit regiment and had jurisdiction over three infantry battalions, each battalion under the jurisdiction of three infantry companies, and one special service company directly under the regiment. An artillery battery. The reconnaissance battalion directly under the division was stationed in Gutang Town to control the Lagu Mountain Pass, with a total of 4,258 officers and men in the division.
"We all get along very well, and they're all straightforward, unlike my former colleagues in the army. ”
In the formation of the Third Division, Jiang Zhonghua assigned the 1,772 officers and men of the former government army who had been captured to the Third Division, and also stuffed all kinds of mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and other guns captured into Zuo Wu. The total number of officers and soldiers in the division is 3,689, which can only be regarded as the establishment of the B division.
The 1st Division is the main force of Mailishan, and the division commander was promoted by Wu Biao, and it is scheduled to have 5 regiments under its jurisdiction after reorganization. 3 armored infantry regiments, a tank regiment (not yet formed), an artillery regiment. Each armoured infantry regiment has three armoured infantry battalions, each with five companies under it. There are 3 armoured infantry companies, 1 machine gun company (armed with heavy machine guns), and 1 artillery company (armed with 82 mm mortars and 82 recoilless guns). Each company has five platoons and an additional artillery battalion. Underneath there is an anti-aircraft artillery company (armed with Stinger and needle missiles), an anti-tank artillery company (not yet formed with pre-tank missiles), a mortar artillery battery, a rocket artillery company, and a 130 cannon battery (not yet formed). The regiment directly subordinate to the troops has, a motor transport company, a repair company, a regimental command company (below there is a reconnaissance platoon, a guard platoon, a communications platoon), a sanitary team.
Each regiment had a full strength of 10 people in each squad during the war, 3 squads per platoon, 30 people per platoon, 5 platoons per company, and about 180 cadres and company headquarters and cooking squads. Each battalion has about 950 people in five companies plus the battalion headquarters, and the four combat battalions of the whole regiment have a total of 3,900 people, plus the regimental direct transport company, repair company, and regimental command company, and about a Class A armored regiment has about 4,500 people, so that the firepower of one regiment of one division can be equal to that of a Type B division
Based on the former motorized infantry regiment, the rapid reaction force was formed as the Third Mobile Brigade of the Army, with the brigade commander Zhang Baogen under the jurisdiction of one air assault helicopter battalion (equipped with eight Mi-35 armed helicopters), one attack helicopter battalion (equipped with four Mi-28N armed helicopters), one assault battalion (equipped with 35 Black Hawk tanks), one mobile battalion, one engineer battalion, one anti-aircraft artillery battalion, one military intelligence battalion, one anti-chemical defense company, and one military police company.

Four 122 mm caliber Type 90 multiple launch rocket systems, three battlefield radar command vehicles, and six "Avenger" air defense system vehicles, so that 130 vehicles of the mobile battalion can be counted, and when necessary, the air assault helicopter battalion can also be asked to assist in the original distance to drop troops, and the attack helicopter battalion can also be asked to provide air cover, so that the Black Hawk tanks of the assault battalion can provide fire support, so it has a strong strategic mobility capability and rapid reaction capability.
"That's good, they basically come out of the grassroots, maybe they don't have much culture, but people are not bad and easy to deal with." Jiang Zhonghua nodded and asked again, "Is your family still used to it?" ”
Since learning that Zuo Wu led his troops to surrender, Jiang Zhonghua issued a secret order, asking the intelligence department to secretly take Zuo Wu's family to Maili Mountain, so as to prevent the Burmese government army from becoming angry and embarrassed and causing trouble to his family.
"They all live very well, and Yinglong City is very lively and beautiful." Zuo Wu hesitated for a moment and then said, "I want to rest for a while, worship the Buddha, and the third master still asks Mr. Jiang to send a capable cadre to lead in the future." ”
Jiang Zhonghua said, "Your appointment as the commander of the Third Division and the commander of the Moxi Garrison Area is an order personally issued by the supreme chief, and I cannot change this, and there is no need to change it. But you can rest for a while, worship the Buddha, I am going to Sri Lanka recently, you accompany me to see the Buddha's tooth relic. ”
"Okay." Satake happily agreed.
There were only people in front of the SriLankan Airlines counter in the terminal, and there were so many people that some passengers could be seen from a distance who were very emotional, and the uniformed staff were patiently explaining. It turned out that SriLankan Airlines was adjusting the flight, and it is said that nearly 100 passengers did not get a seat that night and were contacting other airlines to transfer flights. It turned out that there were so many people who wanted to go to Thailand and Sri Lanka, and the people who couldn't board the plane were expressing their dissatisfaction at the counter of Sri Lankan Airlines. After several twists and turns, I finally got the boarding pass, went through the border check and security check, and sat in front of the boarding gate two hours in advance.
Board the plane on time at 4 o'clock in the morning, and 30 minutes later the plane taxied to the runway, Zhang Xin looked at the dim scenery outside the porthole, became sleepy, dimmed the light overhead, and wanted to sleep well, the plane had to land and transfer in Bangkok, Thailand, and could sleep for about five hours.
"Zhang Xin, let me tell you a secret I discovered, I don't know why the first class and business class of this flight are empty." Li Haimei, the school's female physical education teacher, sat down, this school trip, she brought her daughter too, although the ticket has to be paid for by herself, but the opportunity is rare, just took her daughter to the bathroom and found it.
This plane has 8 seats in first class and 18 seats in business class, because the time of arrival in Thailand can meet the needs of short-distance passengers, you can save a night's accommodation fee, generally this flight will be oversold, not to mention that there are many passengers who can not board the plane when taking off, and they are all around the counter of Sri Lanka Airlines.
Zhang Xin asked incomprehensibly, "Would you have asked the flight attendant this question?" ”
"I asked, but people didn't say." Li Haimei was a little embarrassed, just thinking about whether she could change her seat and enjoy the meticulous service and relatively comfortable environment for free, "When I came back, the deputy mayor and the director had just passed. ”
This time, the city specially organized a trip abroad in order to commend advanced teachers, Zhang Xin had to let her come because the students she taught won international competition awards in a row, and similar awards were several times because of the lack of background cards, and this time she was not allowed to come for fear of causing public outrage. The leaders of the team include Zhao Changfu, deputy mayor in charge, and Li Changtong, director of the Education Bureau. It's time to upgrade, flying first class or business class is not only a change of space, but also a privilege, which everyone understands, as for the price, it is not your own.
After a while, Vice Mayor Zhao and Director Li sat back in their places accompanied by a young man, and Li Haimei whispered to Zhang Xin that the young man was an air crew security guard, so handsome, if he didn't get married and have a daughter, he would chase him, or find a chance to have a pure friendship. Zhang Xin, you are still young, you are still single, and you have all the conditions and opportunities.
I don't know if Li Haimei said that the young guy is handsome, whether he is handsome or his behavior is handsome, some people play privileges and want to go abroad, and it is inevitable that they will be embarrassed. Zhang Xin quipped in a good mood, "You go to have friendship, I'll take your daughter Xiao Lulu." ”
At around 9 a.m. local time, the plane landed at Bangkok Airport. During the hour-long waiting for another take-off, the Si Airlines Lady brought breakfast quite intimately, and Zhang Xin liked the juice on the plane very much, but Li Haimei said that the leaders had been complaining about the poor breakfast and the food was difficult to swallow. At this time, two young men in black suits came from the front, talking to the air security guy, today the handsome guys are together, but the two look more calm, but their eyes have been looking around at the passengers, but they returned to the front in a few minutes.
