Chapter 544: A Trip to Northern Burma
Wall quickly left and did not stay long in Yangon.
Xiao Mubai waited for the consultant he was looking for, but he didn't know when he would be able to put into work.
It's not easy to set up a PMC company, it's not just by pulling a few people to buy a few guns, it's not a private military company, it's not even a mercenary, it's a straggler.
Private military companies in the general sense, they mostly employ members who have retired from the special forces. The most numerous are the French Foreign Legion, known as the base camp of the PMC, and a large number of soldiers who have retired from the law have joined private military companies.
In addition to this, there are SAS, SBS in the United Kingdom, Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Delta in the United States, GSG9 in Germany, GIGN in France, Spetsnaz in Russia, and so on.
Some of the more mature PMCs will seek the addition of these former members of the special forces, and even promise heavy profits.
But Xiao Mubai can't do that, at least not yet.
AMCS is currently only a newly established private military company, and it has little strength, and even if it costs money to hire people, those people may not agree. Of course, if enough money is spent, not to mention the people of the Delta Special Forces, even the personal bodyguards of the President of the United States, can be invited.
But, wouldn't that be a big wrong?
PMC selects talent from various special forces, and likewise, retired soldiers and non-commissioned officers of special forces are also looking for suitable employers for their future, which is a two-way street.
A private military company without strength, let alone being looked down upon by other peer PMCs, is a former member of the special forces, and not many people will choose to join.
Xiao Mubai is now a novice leader, he must start from the smallest thing, the first thing is to select talents.
Traveling to northern Myanmar is the first step, recruiting a few people with such potential from hundreds of armed civilians, and finally screening out the remaining dozen or so people after a series of elimination training. Then, head to Alcatraz for the next step of intensive training, which is a must for every PMC.
He AMCS has a complete plan, and he has his own plan for what to do first and then what to do. Hiring a plenipotentiary consultant is more of a supplement to prevent him from missing something.
In this regard, he is a complete rookie.
Looking forward to the consultant Mr. Wall mentioned, Xiao Mubai drove to the supply station. After a few hours of rest, it was finally in the afternoon before the official departure began.
This time, instead of departing by car, it was a railway from Yangon to Mandalay in Myanmar, abandoning the previous Hummer and pickup trucks.
A group of ten people, in addition to the five of them and the previous Chen Bo, plus four ATG security personnel, went to the destination together. Of course, in addition to their own functions, these four people also served as bodyguards for the six people on this trip. That's right, it's the bodyguard, Myanmar is not safe.
Myanmar's economy is underdeveloped, transportation is limited, and the railway to Mandalay can no longer continue to move forward, a group of ten people got off from Mandalay, and set off again in a Jinbei car, a group of ten people.
Of course, everyone carries a weapon with them, that's for sure.
The route of the trip is all set, starting from Yangon via Nay Pyi Taw and Mandalay, and thus entering the heart of the SAR, which is already the shortest route.
The longest is from Naypyidaw to the east, entering the territory of the Shan People's Liberation Army, and then heading north into the 6th Special Region of North Shan State, where it will encounter the Pa-Ou National Army stationed in Taunggyi, and the former Mengdai Army led by Khun Sha, passing through the guerrilla area of the Southern Shan State Army. Further southeast, into the southern area of the 2nd Special Region of Shan State/Northern Wa State, you will encounter the United Wa State Army.
Further northeast, enter the 4th Special Region of Eastern Shan State, and encounter the Shan Eastern Allied Army stationed in Mongla. Further northwest along the border, you will reach the northern area of the Wa/Northern Shan State Special Zone 2 and meet the United Wa State Army, which is based in Bang Kham.
Further west, entering the Northern Shan State Special Territory, you will pass through the defense area of the Northern Shan State Army. Finally, head north into the first special district in northern Shan State, also known as the Kokang Special Zone, and reach Lao Cai, where the Kokang Allied Army is located.
This is just a military power of the Shan/Wa state, and in addition to that, there is the northernmost Kachin state, where Myitkyina is located, where the Chinese expeditionary force fought.
There is also the Rohingya Rakhine State, which also has its own National Liberation Army, the Liberation Party and the Rakhine **CPB.
There is also the New Mon State Party NMSP, with a total strength of 7,800 troops, headquartered in Yekhampa. The Boou National Organization (PNO), with more than 1,400 troops, has its headquarters in Jiaodelong. The Banglong State Liberation Army (PSLA), with a strength of more than 1,400 troops, has its headquarters in Nanmadu. The Kayang National Defense Forces (KNF) and the Singapore Kayang State Party (NJP) in Kayang State are relatively weak.
Finally, there is Karen State, with a population of 4 million, or 8% of the total population of Myanmar, with the Karen National Union, the Karenni National Liberation Front, the Karenni National Progressive Party, the Karen National Liberation Army, and so on, all of which add up to tens of thousands of armed men.
Xiao Mubai only went to Shan State and Kachin State this time, and did not plan to go to other places, so he took a brief look at the military and armed intelligence of Myanmar given by Chen Bo, focusing on Shan State and Kachin State.
The chaotic Myanmar has thus become a haven for mercenaries and PMCs, and when the armed conflict between the local and government intensifies, it is the time for mercenaries to become active. This activity, as well as having a history of almost two decades, has grown with mercenaries and PMCs. It can be said that hiring here is the same as returning home.
A group of 10 people got off the bus from Mandalay and took the Jinbei car to the Nandu River next to Kyaukku, where they took a boat into the area controlled by the Northern Shan State Army.
This is the third special region of Shan State, commonly known as the mountain special region, there are some rivers in the Nam Du River, and the ethnic groups in the area are the Shan people, that is, the Dai people, which are controlled by the Shan local armed forces Shan State Progressive Party (SSPP) and the Northern Shan State Army (SSA-N).
The current North Shan State Army is an expanded 5 brigades on the basis of the original 1st Brigade, 1st Brigade, 27th Brigade, 36th Brigade, 72nd Brigade, and 74th Brigade, each brigade has 3 battalions, and the commander is the former 1st Brigade Commander Pan Fa, who is now the leader of the newly formed army of the Northern Shan State Army, and has appointed himself as a lieutenant general commander.
This is one of the goals of this trip.
It is interesting to note that after the Shan State Army formed the Shan State Progressive Party in 1971, it was divided into two due to lack of international recognition. The northern troops joined the Burmese Communist People's Army, and the southern troops joined the Mengdai Army in Khun Sha.
That's right, it's Kun Sha of the Golden Triangle, Zhang Qifu, who controlled 80% of the drug trade in the Golden Triangle in its heyday, and the commander-in-chief of the MTA.
Xiao Mubai doesn't have a good impression of this drug dealer, but this kind of legendary figure is more or less admired. It is not too much to praise a legend for being able to make the drug business so big.
The steamer traveled on the Nandu River, and after a long time, it came ashore at a wharf, and there were already people waiting. Chen Bo told him that there would be a big surprise waiting for him this time.
That's right, the person waiting is none other than Angela, the head of ATG.
Yes, the head of the ATG came here to pick him up in person. In addition to Angela, there are seven or eight armed men, six vehicles, including Humvees, pickups, off-road vehicles, which will enter the SSA-N-controlled area in these cars.
Xiao Mubai got out of the car and met Angela, who had never met.
