By the time Chen Shen said the phrase "Kachin is the next target", Xiaoyu's purpose in coming to Mengka had actually changed completely.

Originally, she just wanted to talk to Chen Shen about the changes in power in the dark tide of northern Myanmar, and wanted the other party to be prepared and provide some support and convenience for the "mission" in the north in the follow-up operations.

But what she didn't expect was that Chen Shen had no interest in these overly complicated things at all.

There are probably only two purposes for deceiving yourself.

The first is to determine the "upper limit" of the Shadow Corps, or CIA's infiltration in northern Myanmar, from his own mouth, and determine whether Dongfeng is capable of fighting them.

The second is to finalize the matter of the helicopter

From the perspective of the Dongfeng Corps, Chen Shen really didn't have any problems with these two things, and it was completely based on his own security and the strategy of maximizing interests.

Can be on small fish

She felt a little deceived.

I'm just a tool man, right?

Summoning it to come and go as soon as it is gone, and running when it runs out?

Although the two sides are indeed in a mutually beneficial relationship now, there is no need to be so direct, right?

Especially after seeing that Chen Shen didn't even prepare a room for her, she was completely speechless.

"No, Mr. Shipwreck, didn't you anticipate that we would need to stay overnight in Monka?"

Chen Shen, who was temporarily cleaning up the room for the three of them, smiled awkwardly and replied:

"I thought you were going to leave after talking, who knew you would have to spend the night?"

"Don't you have a brain at this time? My current identity is the account manager of Mengla Urban Construction Group, which account manager do you think is to visit customers all night and leave directly? Is this logical? ”

"Or are you going to let us stay at the Vientiane Hotel?"

"Not really"

Chen Shen hurriedly waved his hand and continued:

"There are still a lot of rooms, but they haven't been cleaned up, and those two brothers can't really sleep, so they can make do with rest."

"How long are you going to stay in Monka?"

"Two days."

Xiaoyu replied briefly.

"What's the arrangement?"

"I'm going to talk to you about Kachin and the Shadow Corps."

"This problem covers too much area and involves too many things, which is not comparable to the bold and Banglong problems you dealt with before."

"In terms of complexity, it will be even higher than that of Southern Shan State and Tachilik."

"Again, your mercenary group, no matter what you do, it has nothing to do with us, but at least, you have to make us a little prepared."

"Understood."

Chen Shen nodded, patted the pillow on the bed and said:

"Alright, you'll sleep here tonight."

"How's that, does it feel familiar?"

Isn't that déjà vu? I slept on these sheets the last time I came, and you didn't wash them, did you? ”

"Don't slander me, it's all washed, such a big villa, do you think it's not cleaned?"

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Xiaoyu stepped forward and picked up the sheet and sniffed it, there was really a smell of mites killed by the sun.

It's still early, her work is not over yet, and it's impossible to get through the time by sleeping.

So, after thinking for a moment, she spoke:

"Can I go to Mengka City for a walk?"

"What is the purpose?"

Chen Shen asked subconsciously.

"There's no special purpose, look at the changes here - after Chen Yimin's death, we haven't updated the situation here in time, so we can take this opportunity to make up for it."

"Don't you have a dedicated informant?"

"Mengka doesn't, it's too small here, if it weren't for the Seventh Brigade stationed, it wouldn't actually attract much attention at all."

"Our focus in Shan State is mainly concentrated in the Tachili and Jingdong areas. It's not a secret, it's the same for everyone. ”

Hearing her words, Chen Shen nodded slightly.

"Everyone is the same" does not of course mean oneself, but refers to the "big forces" who want to gain profit in this land.

Burma, Thailand, North, Laos

It's the same for everyone.

However, these forces probably could not have imagined that this inconspicuous small city would suddenly become the eye of the storm in the entire northern Myanmar because of the rise of a mercenary group

Its majesty is constantly sweeping across the entire land of northern Myanmar, but it is extremely calm-—— even peaceful.

Perhaps, this will be a kind of "advanced experience"?

Xiao Yu looked at Chen Shen thoughtfully, waiting for his answer.

Chen Shen hesitated for a few seconds before asking:

"You guys. . . There won't be a problem with discipline, right? ”

"Big brother, I'm an intelligence officer."

Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Do you need me to remind you? Which intelligence agent have you ever seen stay in a room all day? ”

"I think you're weird at times, familiar with our rules like your own, but too old-fashioned."

As soon as these words came out, it was Chen Shen's turn to roll his eyes.

What can I do! I'm not an informant!

I used to do a lot of work behind your back in my last life, okay? What I know about you is mostly on paper, in pre-war briefings, or in a limited number of face-to-face interactions, so how do I know how you really work?

Hell knows what you're doing—

But speaking of which, in my last life, I also heard that intelligence officers stationed in a certain country in Africa were keen to go to various roadside stalls to eat samusa, and finally ate themselves with acute gastroenteritis.

Of course, his "fetish" also paid off, just through the price fluctuations of this street food, he deduced that the official food policy was going to be curtailed at that time, and issued an early warning to various local departments in advance.

Sure enough, just two weeks later, the price of flour and brown bread began to rise, and a month later it entered a temporary rationing system, and many unprepared people in many countries were forced to evacuate, and only the grandfathers in the north guarded the cold storage to eat and drink.

When you think about it, the work of these people may not be as "rigid" or strict as you think.

The dead line is not being able to reveal identity and purpose, and other basic freedom to play?

Thinking of this, Chen Shen opened his mouth and said:

"Then let's go shopping, do you want to bring someone?"

"Is it safe?"

"Safety is definitely safe, it depends on whether you have any special requirements."

"It's really messy and messy, you have the final say on the shipwreck?"

"Falsely praised, do you want to go?"

"Go, you bring two people, I don't bring people, it's more low-key."

Xiao Yu replied decisively, so Chen Shen ordered Shi Dakai and Li Bang together, and the four of them set off along the road at the entrance of the villa, all the way to the direction of the city center.

It's not that far, less than two kilometers.

Xiaoyu said that he was observing, but in fact, his pace was not slow, and he was no different from ordinary pedestrians in the city.

And when they went to the central area and walked around the "quite prosperous" downtown area, Xiaoyu's intelligence collection work had been completed for the most part.

Sitting outside the Ei Thander Myo restaurant where Jackal invited Chen Shen to dinner for the first time, drinking coffee, Xiao Yu said with some sighs:

"This place is a little different from other towns in northern Myanmar."

"There are no hemp fruits on the streets, there are no bodies in front of the hospital, and even the prostitutes in the pheasant shop are in better spirits than in other places."

"It seems that after He Bupa came to power, he still did some things."

"The main thing is anti-drugs."

Chen Shen nodded slightly, and continued:

"In fact, Mengka's drug problem has not been completely solved at all, but there are two key battles that have set the tone."

"In terms of formal compliance, Mengka still does a better job than other places."

"One thing is for sure, at least Hebupa doesn't charge a tax on hemp fruits."

"So radical? So what does he make money on? ”

Xiao Yu asked suspiciously.

Her "radical" assessment is actually not an exaggeration at all, which warlord in the whole of northern Myanmar does not sell drugs? Even if you don't sell drugs, you must at least collect taxes and suck blood.

And Hebupa cut off the last connection in one step is really quite radical and exaggerated.

However, she didn't know, but Chen Shen was clear about He Bupa's way of making money, and he also understood how the other party survived after cutting off the chain of drug interests.

"Hebupa's main source of income now is two pieces, first, minerals; second, casinos; Thirdly, arms. ”

"Needless to say, he took over a large amount of Chen Yimin's property, and almost all the mines near Wanxingping were pocketed, which gave him a relatively stable cash flow."

"Secondly, he rectified the casinos in the city, cooperated with Wanfeng Group, and absorbed a large number of gamblers from the direction of Mengla, and it is said that he made a lot of money."

"The third point is that he sells arms, and he also uses the line of Wanfeng Group."

"Still deformed, drink to quench your thirst."

Xiaoyu made a judgment on the spot.

"That's right, but at least it's much stronger than the drug ecology, isn't it?"

"You can't ask them to do it in one step, and I can't -—— we're just a bunch of mercenaries, we just grab the money, no matter where the money comes from."

"Then I want you to grab more."

Xiao Yu looked at Chen Shen with a smile, Chen Shen didn't answer, Xiao Yu snorted and continued:

"Where does Hobuppa's arms go mainly? Do you have. Signs of flow to the north? ”

"Absolutely not now."

"Are you so sure?"

Xiao Yu frowned and asked:

"Is there any basis for judgment?"

"What is the basis for this? The trade route has not been completely opened, and his little things are not enough for us, before going to dry for nothing, I can't buy a few mortar shells from him, and the rotten street things like 40 Huo are out of stock, and finally they are squeezed out by Wanfeng Group. ”

"I have to say that the situation in the supply chain is still very serious"

Chen Shen peeked at Xiao Yu and met the other party's slightly smiling eyes.

"Are you hinting at me anything?"

"No, no. Where it is hinted, it is just whining"

"Okay, then I'll leave you at that."

"Hey—forget it, when I didn't say it."

Chen Shen had no choice but to shut up, while Xiao Yu asked curiously:

"So how much did you buy, and how much did you buy out of arms?"

Chen Shen tilted his head and thought for a moment, then replied:

"I bought three million a month."

"Dollars?"

"Dollars, of course"

"Then you really are here."

Xiao Yu gave Chen Shen a thumbs up and said.

How exaggerated is the destruction of $3 million in arms a month?

Judging from the basic equipment of the armed forces in northern Burma, this money is equivalent to 10,000 Bayi bars with basic ammunition, which can arm at least 5,000 militia groups with supplies and a month's salary.

This is only the consumption of ammunition, taking into account the loss and depreciation of other equipment, taking into account the salaries of personnel, the Dongfeng Corps made a single dispatch and killed a small six million US dollars.

Others are fighting, but the Dongfeng Corps is purely fighting for money.

Thinking about it this way, with this investment, they beat Bai Sucheng, and it's really a bit. Not surprising.

And Chen Shen seemed to have a good idea of this number, he just said modestly:

"It's just average, the cost-effectiveness ratio is still okay."

"That's true, at least you haven't gotten into the helicopter yet, let's go shopping."

Xiaoyu stood up, and Chen Shen also finished the last sip of coffee and followed her.

Because of the sensitivity of her real identity and the fact that her temporary identity is not completely reliable, Xiao Yu did not wander around unscrupulously, but walked around the various construction sites in Mengka according to the predetermined "script" and the logic that matched her identity.

And this also gave her a new understanding.

"Most of the materials and equipment used in these construction sites come from the north."

"Theoretically, it shouldn't be, because Myanmar has these things themselves, and it used to be easy to get along the Tachili Highway."

"It seems that the siege of Jingdong has begun to affect the situation in the whole of northern Myanmar, now it is building materials, and the next step is daily necessities."

"There's going to be a bit more dependence on the north side here, and that's a . Well, good news. ”

"Shipwreck, your contribution is really more than just on the surface."

"It's good to know."

Chen Shen pursed his lips and continued:

"Sister, some helicopters."

“？？？ Didn't I tell you about it? ”

"I want to."

Just a few of you, it is already the limit to be able to afford a helicopter, and you really want to build an air assault brigade?"

"Let's talk about whether it is built or not, but with and without an air force, the difference in the form of war can reach as big as a century."

"What air war theory? Your mind is dangerous, left. ”

"I also want the three armed forces to work together, and the problem must also be conditional."

Chen Shen sighed and continued:

"There's no way I'm going to expand my headcount on a massive scale, and unless there's a breakthrough one day, my team will be reduced to less than 100 people."

"In such a situation, when I am really faced with a large-scale head-on conflict, I have no advantage."

"The plate is expanding, and the territory is erected, what if one day, I am forced to fight a positional war?"

"At that point, I will no longer be able to hire outsourced manpower, which means that I will have to rely on firepower to make up for the lack of manpower."

"Isn't that understandable? So, I really want more helicopters. ”

After listening to his words, Xiao Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Of course, she understood what Chen Shen really wanted to express.

In fact, today's "walk", Chen Shen has been paving the way for this last paragraph throughout the whole process.

It's a bit deliberate, a little insidious, but not annoying.

Because Xiao Yu knows very well that only by being trembling and thinking about it like him can it really be possible to gain a foothold in this land and develop and grow.

At the end of the day, what he made was just a very reasonable request.

It can't be said to be achievable immediately, but there is room for consideration.

After all, if the Wa State can have it, why can't the Dongfeng Corps have it?

Wa Bang was convinced on the face and secretly did a lot of dirty things.

And what about the Dongfeng Corps?

This kid has never admitted that he has any intention of "taking refuge", nor does he admit that he is "his own person", he only has interests and uses in his mouth.

But he did defeat Nuo Kang, Bang Long, and Bai Suocheng.

They even want to take out Kachin.

Well, for the sake of grabbing money

In this way, they may be more worthy of something than the Wa State.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu secretly made a decision in his heart.

She raised her head, looked at Chen Shen and said:

"Call Sister Sheng again, I'll help you think of a way?"

Chen Shen rolled his eyes and said:

"Auntie, please!"
