Monka is not a small village.

In fact, Mongka is an important city in the Shan State Special Region and an important stronghold.

It is located at the junction of Shan State and Wa State, with Mong Bao to the north, Mon Yang to the east, and Jing Dong to the south, and Jing Dong is the last checkpoint in northern Myanmar into the core area of the Golden Triangle.

Among them, Meng Yang belongs to the jurisdiction of the 468 Brigade of Wa State and is Li Aishu's territory.

Meng Bao belongs to the 418 Brigade, under the jurisdiction of the 917 Detachment, is the core defensive force of Bangkang, and the brigade commander is Bao Yongzhen, a close confidant of Commander Bao.

Jingdong is controlled by the Burmese ZF Army, but their infiltration scope is not only Jingdong, they have their combat battalions and special operations forces deployed in all surrounding areas, and they have even established a permanent military camp near Mongka.

As for Monka itself....... It is under the jurisdiction of the 7th Brigade of Northern Shan State, but it is not only under the Allied Shan Army, as it is also in the sphere of influence of the Northern Mofa Militia Regiment.

To put it simply, this is a land of four wars, but it is precisely because of its special geographical location that it has reached a delicate balance between various forces, and has become a key transit point for freight and people transportation in the entire northern Myanmar region.

And as we all know, as long as it is a hub area, it must be chaotic.

Not to mention, all that is transshipped here are some illegal items that must not be left on paper.

Therefore, although Mengka is not notorious for electric fraud like Myawaddy and Kokang in later generations, the degree of chaos under its calm waters is definitely not comparable to other places.

But Chen Shen is not afraid of chaos, because chaos is their best cover.

It took three full days, crossed a straight-line distance of 200 kilometers, and changed to various means of transportation, Chen Shen finally came to Mengka with 3 teammates.

They took off their bold military uniforms, changed into T-shirts and trousers prepared on the road, wrapped the overly conspicuous SVD in cloth, and carried 81 bars on their backs that matched their status, and checked into a nondescript hotel.

Two rooms, one for two, just take turns on guard.

He hid two SVDs and extra equipment under the bed---- which was not completely safe, but there was no better way to do it at the moment.

But fortunately, the military management of the Northern Shan State Army in Mongka is very tough, the security brigade patrols everywhere, and almost all the hotels are the property of the Military Management Commission, so there is no need to worry too much about being stolen and robbed.

As for being spotted by housekeeping staff?

Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing in a broken hotel with 50 RMB a night.

After everything was settled, Chen Shen gathered everyone and gathered in his room for a meeting.

After a few days of running, Chen Shen also had a basic understanding of other people, in addition to Shi Dakai, needless to say, the other two comrades-in-arms were named Li Bang and Bao Qi.

Li Bang is a short, black-skinned man, just over 20 years old this year, like Chen Shen, the original body, who joined the Kokang Alliance just to eat.

In 84 years, his father had followed Bao Youxiang in the National Democratic Front, and he always felt that Kokang and Wa were just brothers, and he also looked forward to one day recasting the glory of northern Myanmar, so he was very resolute about his son's joining the army.----

This background has also created a gap between Li Gang and Bao Qi in terms of military quality, if Li Gang is really a little better than the monkey who can shoot, and it is all luck to survive, then Bao Qi at least has a little ability.

At least when the other party gathered fire and fired a volley, he still knew to lie down and find cover to hide.

"Are we really going to be mercenaries?"

Before Chen Shen could speak, Shi Dakai asked first.

He has always been suspicious of the matter of "mercenaries", and feels that those people are thugs who can't get on the stage.

But Chen Shen doesn't think so.

It's as if the Kokang Allies weren't mercenaries......

Without formal military training, if you go to work and get paid, you will shoot and throw it on the battlefield, isn't this the lowest level of cannon fodder mercenaries?

Instead of hitting them, it's better to go and fight the rich bosses.

If you can make a name for yourself, make enough money and do a good job in the future, you will have the opportunity to completely get rid of this chaotic northern Myanmar and return to your true homeland.

So, he replied firmly:

"Yes, to go."

"There's always a way to go....... Shall we just run out into the street and ask? ”

"Moreover, people don't necessarily want us, we are ......."

Shi Dakai's words were not finished, but everyone understood that what he wanted to say was "we would never have fought in the first place".

Chen Shen sighed and explained:

"It doesn't matter if you can fight or not, there are large and small gun regiments here in Mengka, as long as you have a gun, it is not difficult to eat with you."

"Moreover, fighting here is not necessarily more dangerous than being courageous, at least we can pick our own tasks."

"Can you pick your own?"

Shi Dakai was shocked.

"Yes, some of the big gun regiments here have a lot of resources, and they will receive all kinds of tasks, and some tasks that are not cost-effective for them will be subcontracted to smaller gun regiments."

"Wood ghosts, you know, for example?"

"The largest gun regiment in Mengka, the main body of which was the Mengtai army in Kunsha in the past, was dispersed by the Wa State, and flowed over from the Daduan River to establish the Wood Ghost Gun Regiment."

"In the past few years, the wooden ghosts have developed very well, opened up the relationship between the military of Northern Shan State, and have begun to slowly transform from a mercenary group to a PMC, and now it is called Wanfeng Group, which is mainly engaged in security and freight business, so they don't do much of some small tasks."

"This is our chance, as long as we can pass their assessment, take on one or two tasks, and survive, we will be able to stand in Mengka."

Hearing his words, Li Bang and Bao Qi nodded together.

"I think it's doable!"

"I also think it's feasible, it's better to make a lot of money by fighting a war, at least than the Confederates!"

Their minds were simple, and when they heard Chen Shen say that it was profitable, they didn't think too much about it.

But Shi Dakai is different, although he is cowardly and sometimes stupid, he is definitely not stupid.

He looked at Chen Shen with scrutinizing eyes, and asked tentatively:

"These things........ How do you know? ”

How do I know?

Chen Shen sighed.

I can't tell you that I came across this news by accident when I participated in the Quad Joint Operation in my last life, and I saw it by chance, right?

Shi Dakai obviously didn't need to know this.

So, Chen Shen simply replied:

"More Internet, more news, there's everything!"

Shi Dakai's mouth opened wide.

Yes? Watching the news online?

Forehead...... Maybe you really should try?

dispelled the doubts of several people, and Chen Shen was not willing to waste more time.

After all, they don't have much money in their hands, and the four of them add up to more than 6,000 RMB, which really can't last long.

Gotta get the money out of the way.

"Don't talk so much, we'll go to the wood ghosts later, and talk to their people first."

"Maybe we're lucky enough to go today and get the mission today?"
