Chapter Ninety-One: Fueling the Flames
19, 11/15.
Honsavady.
Central, Mandalay, the capital of Mandalay province.
As the capital of Honsawady, many local big family forces are intertwined here, and it is also the core area of warlord power.
There are more than a dozen big families in the local area, but there is only one local warlord, or one faction, which is the Wu Kaile faction mentioned by Domino before.
With eight divisions in control across the north, Wu Kaile is one of the most powerful factions in Honsavaddy, and he is an ally of the Maung Ku faction that currently guards Shan State.
Of course, at this time, the Maunggu faction has been controlled by the Homo sapiens company.
In Wu Kaile's private estate, he was watching several servants cut stones, one of his hobbies, which was to play with gambling stones.
Of course, the jadeite industry is actually one of the pillar industries of Wu Kaile's family, which controls about 30% of the output of the entire jadeite mining area, and the remaining 70% is controlled by the Kachin army.
This is also one of the foundations why Wu Kaile's family can develop and grow.
After all, the Maunggu family can rely on flour in the Golden Triangle, smuggling in the northeast border, and gambling in Lao Cai.
Wu Kaile and his family rely on the jade in the Wulong River area, river transportation and agriculture in the Mandalay area.
The sound of the chainsaw did not affect Wu Kaile's mood, he liked the excitement of cutting through the rough stone.
Controlling the channels of the core supply, the rough stone in front of Wu Kaile is naturally not a marble jadeite.
Soon, this piece of watermelon-sized rough stone was cut open to reveal an obvious green band, but Wu Kaile shook his head:
"The garbage is oily and green, and there are a lot of cracks, which is not of much value."
A middle-aged man who walked in from the door hurriedly smiled and exclaimed: "The general's eyes are like torches, and he really deserves to be the king of gambling stones." ”
For his subordinates, Wu Kaile did not get carried away, his gambling experience was cut out by constantly cutting stones: "Zhengshan, what is the matter with you?" ”
Python Zhengshan is a division commander under him.
At this time, the people who really cared about Wu Kaile were not Python Zhengshan, but the people he brought over.
Sensing that Wu Kaile's expression was wrong, Python Zhengshan immediately whispered in his ear: "General, they want to see you and say that there is something very important to discuss with you. ”
Although Wu Kaile didn't know the other party's intention, after all, the visitor was a guest, so he instructed the housekeeper: "Go and prepare tea." ”
"Yes, sir."
in the living room.
Wu Kaile's eyes narrowed slightly, looking peaceful? Maung Stone? What are these two guys doing in Mandalay?
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a long time without nutrition.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Maung An finally opened his mouth to explain his intentions: "Your Excellency General, I don't know if you are interested in doing a business?" ”
"Doing business?" Wu Kaile glanced at the other party, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, and then he asked quietly:
"What kind of business is worth a visit by the two of you in person?"
Maung An and Maung Shek, one is the speaker of the big family in Yangon, and the other is the big family speaker of Ayeyarwady Province, which itself represents the big family of the south.
At this time, he actually came to Mandalay in person, and it was obvious that the business was very large, and he might need to intervene.
"The general should know that business in the coastal areas is not doing well now, and we hope to ease the atmosphere with the outside." Maung An said with a smile.
Hearing this, Wu Kaile took a sip of tea, and replied with a smile: "Shouldn't Your Excellency go to Binmanei for this kind of thing?" Mandalay has no power to decide. ”
"No, Mandalay can decide as long as the general wants to." Maung An looked into the other person's eyes very seriously.
"......" Wu Kaile's eyes were full of surprise and surprise: "Your Excellency might as well be clearer." ”
"Your Excellency General, this is a petition from various families along the coast, you can take a look at it first." Maung An handed over a petition.
Wu Kaile took it and found that more than two-thirds of the more than a dozen big families in the coastal area had signed on it.
This made Wu Kaile's ambition in his heart, and he suddenly ordered the weeds to grow wildly.
But then he calmed down again, and quickly calculated in his heart that he had mastered the strength of eight divisions in the north, and Maung Gu was confident that he could persuade the other party to hold still.
If you add the secret support of those big families in the coastal areas, these people also have an intricate network of relationships, and even if they don't cooperate with themselves, they are likely to watch from the sidelines.
In this way, he only needs to face the two divisions in Pyinmane alone.
It's just that Wu Kaile still had a trace of doubt in his heart, he didn't agree at the first time, but asked rhetorically:
"Maunggu can do it over there, why don't you go find him?"
Maung An smiled: "The general is the strongest, if you find General Maung Gu's side, will the general be willing to stand still at that time?" ”
Wu Kaile suddenly understood that the military strength of his department was indeed the strongest, and if Maung Gu's department wanted to do something, it would be impossible without his cooperation and acquiescence.
It's just that Wu Kaile still didn't agree: "I need to think about this matter, after all, the stakes are high." ”
Maung Shi, who had been silent, spoke up to assist at this time: "The two divisions in Pyinmanei, we can help the general pacify them and promise not to interfere in this matter." ”
After getting this answer, Wu Kaile was suddenly moved.
After all, what he was worried about was whether this matter would be a trap, and if Maung Seok Maung An's side could really let the two garrisons in Pimpaneh sit on the sidelines, then he felt that the success rate of this matter was very high.
"Are you sure?"
"Naturally, as a sign of sincerity, we will remain in Mandalay until the general has completed everything."
Seeing that the other party was full of sincerity, Wu Kaile no longer doubted it in his heart, he only felt that the advantage was mine at this time, so he quickly reached an agreement with Maung An and Maung Shi, and the two sides divided their respective interests.
That same evening.
Wu Kaile was in the military camp outside the city and gathered a group of henchmen.
Including the commander of the 505th Division, Python Zhengshan, who introduced Maung An Maung Shi, as well as the commander of the 501st Division, Wu Daoda, the commander of the 502nd Division, Wu Yao, the commander of the 503rd Division, Boke, and the head of the Military Intelligence Department, Python Feng.
These people are Wu Kaile's henchmen, and they are also subordinates who he feels can be trusted.
After telling everyone about the morning and Maung An Maung Shi, Wu Kaile secretly observed everyone's expressions.
Python Zhengshan immediately patted his ass: "General Gaojian, I have long seen that the gang guy is not pleasing to the eye." ”
Others also hurriedly agreed, after all, this matter seems to have a very high success rate, and now standing up against it, wouldn't it be against Wu Kaile.
Wu Yao, commander of the 502nd Division, then shouted: "General, let me take the lead, I promise to take Pyinmane within an hour." ”
Good you Wu Yao, you are so cunning, others thought with disdain.
And Python Zhengshan did not show weakness: "General, I am also willing to take the lead." ”
At this moment, the others couldn't sit still, and they all expressed their willingness to serve the general.
Wu Kaile felt that the military spirit was usable, but it was obviously inappropriate to let the four divisions go south at once, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable.
He looked at Python Zhengshan who introduced Maung An and the others over, he had already received a report from the Military Intelligence Department, and this guy had collected a lot of money from the other party.
Just in case, Wu Kaile planned to let Pochi's 503rd Division and Python Mountain's 505th Division be stationed in Mandalay's lair, so that they could not only supervise each other, but also watch out for the Kachin army in the north and the Maunggu family in the southeast.
And he himself took the guard regiment, Wu Daoda's 501st Division, Wu Yao's 502nd Division, and then converged with the 504th Division in the south, gathered the strength of the three divisions, and quickly approached the city.
Wu Kaile, who was carried away by interests, didn't know that there was an invisible big hand that was controlling his every move.
If you want to destroy it, you must first make it mad.
