Chapter 548: Major Mompa
Chapter 548:
Early the next morning, his last day in northern Burma, Xiao Mubai went to nearby villages and Dangyang town to recruit people, including meeting with officers from the 74th Brigade of the Northern Shan State Army, as planned.
Early in the morning, after washing, he came out of his room and looked at the prospective soldiers who were training in the open space outside, including Ben.
Angela's people immediately exceeded thirty people, and there were nearly twenty newcomers, and the old man served as their instructor. At this time, except for a few soldiers who were on guard with guns, the rest of the people were training these newcomers.
It's all jungle camouflage, but it's not a steel helmet on its head.
What he sees now is no different from what he expected, he guessed that Angela is Vietnamese before. Whether it is the descendants of the people under the rule of Ngo Dinh Diem in South Vietnam or the people of the socialist regime in North Vietnam, but at this moment, the strong US military color of ATG cannot be erased.
Angela was probably born in the late seventies, when the North and South Vietnam were being reunified, and her parents may have died in the war.
Otherwise, it was hard for him to imagine a woman who would become the head of the PMC.
At nine o'clock in the morning, when the scheduled time arrived, he did not look at the training of these Shan quasi-soldiers, who were driving the Humvee as drivers, Angela was the guide of the trip, and several armed men followed. In addition, Han Kang and Frank are also among them.
As for Ning Wei, he entrusted Angela's people to take care of it.
After driving along the mountain dirt road in the winding mountain, the convoy arrived at Dangyang Town after more than ten minutes. I have to say that Myanmar is poor, and such a large area as Dangyang is slightly smaller than the county in China, but slightly larger than the town. But in such a large area, the only town has a radius of less than one square kilometer.
Counting the surrounding towns, there are seven or eight villages located in the river valleys, which are barely larger, but it can be said that there is no such prosperity.
The convoy entered the valley from a small road to the east, passing through uneven levels of village houses on both sides and following a dirt road. It's past nine o'clock, and it's the time of the morning when it's lively, especially when there is a market in the town.
When a car is driven, it is like moving from the present to the modern era. Through the window, Xiao Mubai saw a school where students were playing football on the football field, and the fighting did not stop these teenagers from participating in sports. Continue onwards past a small lake, restaurants and temples.
Dangyang is the only town that can be called a town within dozens of square kilometers in the vicinity, and although it has experienced war, it has not changed the prosperity here.
After the war, the prosperity is still there, and the people here have adapted to it.
The 74th Brigade of the Northern Shan State Army controls Dangyang, and all the shops and vehicles in this town are contributing to the tax revenue of the Northern Shan State Army. Restaurants, petrol stations, beauty salons, shopping malls, shops, and more, the town is populated not only by Shan locals, but also by Chinese doing business.
This is a small society, although it is small, but there is everything, just in response to that sentence, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
The Chinese, whether Shan or Burmese, whether they are the Northern Shan State Army or the Burmese government army, do not prohibit this kind of economic activity. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the Chinese have a strong country behind them. The warring sides stick to certain rules, and the war will not involve the Chinese.
But this is a conventional thing, although they do not deliberately aim at the Chinese and shoot, there will still be Chinese people who are affected by stray bullets, and even shells fall into China, which is uncontrollable.
"In Dangyang, you want you to have money, you can buy anything. You are Chinese, and you will receive some courtesy here. But hopefully you won't abuse these perks, or you'll still pay the price. Angela drove the car and warned Xiao Mubai.
The Humvee drove through a few bends before heading into a remote corner of the town, where two Northern Shan Army soldiers stood guard in the distance.
"Z"
The Humvee braked and stopped outside the Northern Shan State Army barracks, and Angela immediately stopped, opened the window and talked to the soldiers. After two sentences, the barracks opened and the Humvee again drove towards the inside of the barracks.
This military camp is not large, Xiao Mubai observed, it can accommodate about two or three hundred people is the limit. Sure enough, when the Humvee stopped, a major stepped out of the room, and he knew that it was a battalion of the 74th Brigade of the Northern Shan State Army.
Although there are many Shan people, the Northern Shan State Army has a large establishment and few personnel, a full infantry battalion of 150 people, and the country is almost a reinforced company, and the commander is only a lieutenant and company commander. But here, the commander of one hundred and fifty people is a major battalion commander, which is like Panfa who leads two thousand people but appoints himself as a lieutenant general.
Well, there is no comparison between this.
Jumping out of the car, Angela and the Major of the Northern Shan State Army came to a simple handshake, and then introduced Xiao Mubai to the Major General, and said in Burmese: "This is Karn Lee, the head of the newly established AMCS private military company, and he is the one who wants to recruit mercenaries here." ”
"This is Major Mompa, commander of the 74th Battalion of the 1st Brigade." With that, Angela stood aside and gave up her position.
"Major, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xiao Mubai spoke English and shook hands with Major Mompa. Seeing that Mompa looked confused and did not understand, he repeated it again, word by word in English.
At this time, Major Mompa understood the latter words, but the smile on his face gradually subsided, stared at Xiao Mubai's eyes expressionlessly, and finally replied in stiff English: "Karn, hello." Since you're here, you have to follow our rules, no problem, right? ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the headquarters room, and the two followed.
"Absolutely." Xiao Mubai replied as he walked.
"Ten people, ten thousand dollars, Burmese, you can take them, we can provide them for you, or you can recruit them yourself. Or, you can choose to stay in Burma with Chinese people, twenty people, ten thousand dollars, whatever you want, but preferably both parties are willing. Major Mompa said word for word.
Xiao Mubai nodded, this human resource is not very expensive, if you hire a retired member of the Delta, you will not be able to hire one for 100,000 US dollars.
"OK, pay the money, and you're good to go." Major Mompa said, crossing Erlang's legs with a nonchalant expression.
Xiao Mubai directly took out two stacks of dollars, put them on the table, and said, "This is 20,000 US dollars." I'll take ten people with me in the end, and the movement may be quite large, and I hope you can bear it. ”
"Yes." A hint of surprise flashed in Major Mompa's eyes.
Xiao Mubai went out directly with Angela, and on the way out, Angela also asked him: "If you say that you are Chinese, he will be very happy to communicate with Chinese and Mengpa." But now, he should think that you are a yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana man, and he has a crush on your dollar. ”
Hearing this, he really didn't know what to say, when there were still people abroad who were so friendly to the Chinese and so hateful to the British. In this way, Mompa is a bit cute, and he is actually more pro-China.
"It doesn't matter." Thinking of this, Xiao Mubai said casually.
From now on, he is Karn, a mercenary of Chinese descent who has nothing to do with China.
