Chen Shen is determined not to continue to get involved in the struggle for power by several forces, which does not mean that he has to give up the ultimate goal.

On the contrary, it was precisely in order to better achieve the ultimate goal that he had to quickly withdraw from the chaos, get rid of the shackles of these complex power struggles, and look at the chaotic situation from a higher and broader perspective, so as to find the best breakthrough point.

In a word, he was in the mountains before, but now, he is going out of the mountains.

The armed jeep left Red Rock all the way, bypassed several large circles, bypassed the Burmese army's defense area, and then reached Hoko, and after joining up with the two F150s, it continued all the way back to Mongka along the predetermined route.

The journey of nearly 500 kilometers took the team nearly 20 hours.

And when Chen Shen saw the familiar buildings in Mengka City, the originally tense heartstrings were finally let go.

He first went to the office of the Dongfeng Corps, intending to finish some of the work in the daily operation.

During the two weeks that he was away, the Dongfeng Corps continued to operate by relying on the rules that had been initially established, and even took on two low-difficulty security and delivery missions, earning a small $6,000.

Theoretically speaking, this amount of money is not small, because there are less than 10 people left, 600 per person, far exceeding the average income in northern Myanmar, and ordinary mercenary groups are not comparable at all.

However, when the finance saw the $8.4 million remitted in the account one by one, almost everyone was stunned when he announced the specific share to others according to the process.

Because, they didn't do anything, but after deducting the operating costs and equipment losses of the $8.4 million, there was still about $4,000 for each of them

How much is that?

Small 30,000 RMB.

In the past, when I was in Meng Yang, a whole mercenary group licked blood all day long, and was so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground, and I could earn this money at most in a month.

Right now?

People lie at home, and the money comes by itself?!

The impact of the "guaranteed wage" shocked everyone, and in addition to the shock, everyone had a common idea, that is:

This place can be stayed.

Be sure to participate in more tasks, brush up the "attendance", and don't be fucking eliminated from the last place!

Their idea is very simple, in the whole of northern Myanmar, where do you go to find a mercenary group that can have a fixed salary?!

Not to mention fixed salaries, there are not many corps that can pay pensions normally.

And what about the Dongfeng Corps?

The previous death pension has been all issued, the seriously injured Big Bird and the short foot have basically recovered, the big bird's leg is wasted, and he received a disability pension and retired to the second line to temporarily take charge of the simple task rating work, and the follow-up plan is to make a good prosthetic leg to see if he can work part-time as a recruit instructor in the future.

Of course, it will be difficult for him to make a lot of money anymore, but he has been stable all his life.

What is a sense of security?

That's what it calls a sense of security!

As a result, after Chen Shen returned, driven by such a deliberately created sense of security, the morale and organization of the entire Dongfeng Corps were visibly raised by the naked eye.

"Now, our team is quite united."

"This kind of solidarity is not the same as when we were in Mengyang before. It seems to be using money to buy people's hearts, but in fact, it is using rules to buy people's hearts. ”

"It is estimated that even if Hu Kaicheng is alive, it is impossible to imagine that things can still be done like this."

"How can anyone like rules? Aren't mercenaries unruly? The rules are so dead, aren't people gone? ”

"He's always thought so anyway, I really wish he had come alive to see it."

The white dog standing beside Chen Shen sighed for a long time, but Chen Shen shook his head and replied:

"If the rules are good rules, then how can anyone not like them?"

"Leave this alone, we have major actions to follow."

"Time is very tight, now that the money has arrived, let's replenish the equipment through various channels as soon as possible."

"The situation in Lao Cai is special, and the probability of urban street fighting, trench warfare, and positional warfare is not large, and if there is really a large-scale battle, it is mainly a movement war concentrated on the periphery of the city."

"Judging from practical experience, the role of cloudburst bombs is limited, so it is good to reduce the procurement budget and purchase mortars and bazookas that can launch phosphorus and aluminum incendiary bombs instead - Type 84 62mm chemical rocket launchers."

"Also, if there are suitable vehicles, add a batch as well."

"Recoilless guns are very useful, if you can, try to get a few more."

"Body armor, night vision equipment, reconnaissance equipment, and communication equipment can be upgraded, and if you go to talk to the jackal, the price is high."

"Finally, there are all kinds of ammunition supplies, find the Seventh Brigade and Peng Xucheng, and collect them from them."

"Understood."

The white dog nodded immediately, and Chen Shen silently estimated the total cost of procurement.

At present, the operating expenses of the entire Dongfeng Corps are close to 9 million US dollars, and the Mengshi car does not need to spend money, and the funds he can use are very sufficient.

Even if all the above purchases are completed, it will cost about $1 million at most.

For the rest, there's really nowhere to spend it.

It is impossible to add new manpower, now counting the civilian staff, the overall size of the mercenary group has reached more than 30 people, and it is at a balance point in management.

Why do you want so many people? Fill in the line?

I don't know how to find a wood ghost? Are they so cheap that they're going to die? Isn't an outsourced employee who comes and goes as soon as he is called to take care of better than a regular employee?

Buying new gear?

The key is that you have to buy it.

It seems that it is really time to get a helicopter and spend a lot of money.

Chen Shen scratched his head, thinking in his heart how to use the Banglong smuggling line as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Xiaoyu, and at this moment, the white dog suddenly spoke.

"Commander, we are now quickly replenishing our equipment, it must be to return to Kokang."

"But I have a question, how dare I do this. Do we really want to continue to mix? ”

"I mean, Ming Xuechang is dead, revenge, and the charges are cleared."

"Besides, we haven't received any new instructions, so if it's too blind, wouldn't it be bad?"

"Shouldn't we simplify it, fight Banglon, just fight Banglong?"

Good guy, even the word blind activism has taught you, and you have integrated it thoroughly enough!

Chen Shen shook his head with a smile and replied:

"So aren't we going back to Monca for the time being? You're right, blind activism is unacceptable. ”

"However, there are some things that are difficult to end so simply once they have begun."

"Sooner or later, Bai Socheng will know that one of our Marauders has been blown up, and there are currently two of these things in the entire northern Myanmar, and we can be found on our heads with a casual check."

"Therefore, the contradiction between us and him will quickly come to the surface - not the contradiction between the Allied Army and the coup army, but the contradiction between the Dongfeng Corps and Bai."

"In addition, now that Aung Dinh Ling is dead, the complexity of the situation has risen by more than one level, and the interests of the Tatmadaw have been greatly affected, and we don't know what they will think in the future."

"Now there is the 756th Brigade on Jingdong's side to attract firepower, in case Lao Myanmar suddenly gets nervous one day and feels that our threat is even greater than that of the 756th Brigade, so big that they can ignore the 'relationship' of the 7th Brigade and directly attack us in Mengka, then the situation will be very passive."

"Therefore, we are going to die with Bai and the coup army, and it's just a matter of time."

"The third point, take 10,000 steps back, Banglong's smuggling line is not as simple as you think, this is completely different from Bao Xiaomei's previous task."

"Specifically, you don't need to understand it for the time being, just implement it."

"Got it"

The white dog nodded thoughtfully and continued:

"So what we have to do now is to wait for the situation to change in Kokang, and then look for an opportunity to catch them all."

"Is this also in your plan?"

"Sort of."

After receiving Chen Shen's affirmative reply, the white dog's face once again showed a clear expression, and then asked:

"So when exactly are we going to do it?"

"It depends. We will definitely have to rest for a few days before we go to Banglong. ”

"But when we get to Banglon, we don't necessarily have to do it right away, we still need to wait for the right time."

"Got it!"

The white dog's confusion vanished, and he said goodbye to Chen Shen and left the office with satisfaction.

Chen Shen finished handling a few financial approvals, and suddenly felt like a boss.

Maybe this will become the norm in the future as well?

However, I am afraid that it will take time.

After all, he is still the strongest combat force of the Dongfeng Corps and the strongest front-line commander, and it is impossible for him to retreat into the background until the others are fully cultivated

Chen Shen sighed and got up to leave the office, but just as he walked to the door, he bumped into a friend who had "long time no see".

Jackal.

"Shipwreck! What the hell did you do?! ”

Shouting and screaming as always.

Chen Shen pulled him into the office, then closed the door casually, and before he could speak, Jackal continued:

"The whole Kokang has become a mess! You burned the Henry Hotel to the ground! You crushed the Wei family! You also killed Ang Tingling! ”

"By the way, what about Ming Xuechang, Ming Xuechang is also dead, right?"

"Oh my God, wreck, what the hell are you going to do? Are you really just going to pick up your own family? ”

"Even if you want to retaliate, it won't be like this, right?"

"Shipwreck, tell me, don't you have a little thing about you? Can't you just do small, simple tasks like other normal mercenary groups? ”

"Like being a bodyguard, escorting some goods or something"

Chen Shen didn't know how to answer for a while, and after being silent for a few seconds, he opened his mouth to correct:

"First of all, we did simple tasks and made thousands of dollars."

"Secondly, I didn't do all the things you said."

The jackal rolled his eyes and asked rhetorically:

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"Shipwreck, your personal style is too strong, really, the fire at the Henry Hotel seems to me like your business card."

"So how the hell do you do it? Gasoline? White phosphorus? Black powder? ”

Thermite."

"Thermite?! Did you dismantle thermite bombs? Did you bring thermite bombs? How could there be such a thing?! ”

"Hand rubbing."

"That's right, it's your style."

The jackal let out a long sigh and continued:

"I can't think of you smashing my head, and you can still use earth-made thermite to set fire to it, I heard that the Allied army was besieged in Hongyan, and more than two dozen people captured a whole thousand-man border battalion of the Burmese army? How did you do that? ”

"Everything, it's all rumors."

Chen Shen retorted resolutely.

"I also think it's a bit too exaggerated. What is the real situation? ”

The jackal breathed a sigh of relief, after all, in his opinion, if it was really more than two dozen people who captured a thousand people, then the man in front of him could no longer be called a "genius", it was a pure monster.

"The real situation is that 100 people were beaten by 1,200 people, and there were only about 20 left, and then more than 20 people captured more than 200 people."

Don't you think that's more exaggerated?"

The jackal was completely speechless.

If it is possible that there is an element of luck or a trick to win by surprise in 20 captives and 1,000 people, then the situation Chen Shen said is that after a hard fight, he was stunned to subdue the enemy

It sounds reasonable, but anyone who has actually been on the battlefield knows what a terrible thing it is

"Actually, it's not too much of an exaggeration. Anyway, let's eat first. ”

"I'll tell you the specifics slowly."

"Okay, I'm not going to ask you for textbooks this time, and I won't be able to learn it anyway."

The two stood up and walked out the door, but as soon as they got down to the first floor, they met a new visitor.

He Bupa, and Peng Xucheng.

They had obviously received the news, and judging from the look on He Bupa's face, the news they had received was probably still very detailed.

Because his expression can no longer be described as "friendly", it is pure "respectful"!

"Congratulations, Mr. Shipwreck!"

He Bupa took two quick steps and stretched out his hand to Chen Shen and said.

Chen Shen shook his hand and quietly denied:

"It's not a triumph, we haven't found the real kidnappers."

He Bupa was stunned.

Kidnapper?

Are you still using this as a cover?!

The four major families have let you fight no one, and you still leave this kidnapper?!

Of course, he also heard Chen Shen's off-string sound, so he said in a good manner:

"That's right, that's right, but as long as you come back safely, it's good, I'll come to see you, it's good, everyone is safe, that's great."

Hebupa's voice gradually decreased, and the implication was obvious, that is.

Big brother, give me a way to live.

And Peng Xucheng on the side, after seeing He Bupa's humble posture, not only did not feel inappropriate, but thought it was true.

After all, in his opinion, when Chen Shen killed Chen Yimin, he was still opportunistic.

But now, he killed Wei Chaoren's family in the gap between several major forces, which is really a bit terrifying.

This kind of person, you must not be targeted by him

He subconsciously looked at Chen Shen's reaction, and Chen Shen also replied kindly:

"As long as everyone does things in a down-to-earth manner, they will definitely be safe."

"Understood, of course, of course!"

He Bupa hurriedly replied.

Chen Shen nodded slightly, turned to Peng Xucheng and asked:

"Boss Peng, the weapon has arrived?"

Peng Xucheng nodded hurriedly and replied:

"Here we are."

"In addition to the weapons station, the car has also arrived."

"Cars? The car is also with you? ”

Peng Xucheng smiled awkwardly and replied:

"No, I got my hands on this car"

"I just saw the car parked in front of your house and mentioned it by the way."

"On my doorstep? How did you get it? ”

"Well, it's hard for me to say clearly, you will know when you go to see it, and we won't accompany you."
