In fact, the training of the Dongfeng Corps can be said to be "step-by-step", and even after a few days of training, Chen Shen inexplicably had a feeling of "the years are quiet".

The reason is very simple, after Cheng Lei and his group arrived, the entire training system became more scientific and regular, and even he couldn't wait to restore the tradition of singing before meals and pay attention to the construction of ideology and style.

But Chen Shen persuaded him, after all, the Dongfeng Corps is a mercenary group, and the colorless state is the best state.

If you force it to be colored, it's going to be a big problem.

Again, what is commercial is business.

And Cheng Lei was naturally just a whim, after listening to Chen Shen's explanation, he also agreed as kindly, and after that, he was only responsible for some technical issues in training, and no longer mixed too much with deeper things.

As a result, the Dongfeng Corps entered a period of stable development.

However, Mengka's side has stabilized, but the situation near Jingdong and Mengxiu has become tense.

After He Bangxiong, He Bupa also found Chen Shen and consulted him about a specific "defensive strategy".

However, he personally visited and inquired in person.

In order to avoid the suspicion of "acting alone", he naturally wanted to bring Bao Xiaomei with him, and the three of them met in the combat command room of the Dongfeng Corps.

Bao Xiaomei was dressed as usual in a fancy way, looking at her delicate makeup and styling, Chen Shen couldn't help but feel confused.

This woman

You say she's a vase, she's really not, after all, relying on the relationship of the Bao family, she has indeed done a lot of things left and right.

But you say that she is a strong woman and a hero, that is pure fallacy.

Because when she does some things, her way of dealing with them is very rough, and she barely meets the standard of "it works".

If she had focused on her "feminine strengths" and put that part of her time and energy into more useful places, would she have been able to reach a higher position in the end?

Chen Shen is not Bao Xiaomei, and he can't answer this question.

But in any case, everyone has their own path, and that's not something he should comment on.

Therefore, no matter what kind of "flattering" posture Bao Xiaomei opened the peacock in front of Chen Shen, Chen Shen always maintained a calm mentality.

And when Bao Xiaomei said half-coquettishly and half-approvingly, "Mr. Chen neglected his old friend after doing a big thing", Chen Shen only replied very officially:

"During this time, the business is relatively busy, I hope Miss Bao and Brigade Commander He can understand."

Hearing his words, Hobupa spoke with interest:

"The situation on Jingdong's side is indeed tense, and I have also communicated with He Bangxiong, and he is adjusting the defense line according to the guidance of Chief Chen."

"According to Ho Bangxiong, this adjustment was quite effective, and there were several small-scale frictions between the Burmese army on the Jingdong side and the defenders of the 756 Brigade in Palau, and the result was a complete victory for the 756 Brigade."

"If this trend continues, even if the 505 Brigade participates in the follow-up battle, it can be stopped by relying on the strength of the 756 Brigade, and it will also buy us enough time."

At this, Hobupa paused for a few seconds.

Chen Shen realized that he was going to say "but".

Therefore, he didn't interject, just looked at He Bupa quietly, and sure enough, his next sentence was a "but".

However, it is not only the 756 Brigade that is under pressure at the moment."

"On our side, the Mengxiu defense line is also under pressure."

"Chief Chen, as you know, we only have 600 troops on the Mengxiu defense line now, and we don't have enough heavy weapons yet."

"However, what this defense line has to endure comes from the pressure of two regiments of the Jinglong Burmese Army approaching 2,000 men."

"If it can't hold it, or if it can't be delayed, the Burmese army will cross the Nu River all the way to the east, threaten Mengka, and force our team near Wanlu on the north side of Jingdong to return to the defense and break the stalemate in Jingdong."

"By that point, things will be pretty bad"

Hearing He Bupa's words, Chen Shen nodded slowly.

This judgment is indeed not mixed with a little water, and it is indeed the most important difficulty facing the coalition forces at present.

That's right, the Seventh Brigade and the Burmese Army are indeed talking, but the "talks" are only to buy time for the "fight," and it is impossible for the Burmese Army to be soft on the Seventh Brigade until it has done it once.

But once a hard-fought battle starts, whether the defenders of the 7th Brigade of the Mengxiu defense line can hold it is another question.

"So, what's your plan?"

Chen Shen asked.

He Bupa has laid so much groundwork, it is impossible to simply complain to himself, and it is impossible to be satisfied with his own "suggestions", so since this is the case, it is better to be direct and put everyone's demands on the table to talk.

In this regard, Hobupa did not twist in the slightest.

He sat up straight, looked at Chen Shen and said:

"Sir Chen, we need a big victory."

"A big victory near Mengxiu, taking the initiative."

"We don't have the ability to play such a big victory, so we need the assistance of the Dongfeng Corps."

"I hope you can command the Second Regiment of the Seventh Brigade, that is, the Mengxiu Garrison Force, and I also hope that the Dongfeng Corps can participate in the battle."

Let me command?!

Chen Shen's brows furrowed slightly, and he was also in a trance for a while.

Damn, when I talked to He Bangxiong before, I had a hunch that the command of the coalition forces would eventually fall into my hands.

It's only been a few days now, and it's actually happened.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse, because according to the initial plan, he really didn't intend to be too involved in such a large-scale operation.

But after thinking about it, if he didn't intervene, Mengxiu might not be able to hold it.

Not to mention that there are 2,000 people on the side of the Burmese army, even if they are reduced by half, in frontal combat, it is not something that the militia of the 7th Brigade can compete with.

Really have to fight.

However, this time it is a direct battle against the Burmese army, and the Dongfeng Corps must not participate.

We can only win by command and tactics.

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

"How is the Burmese army's garrison near Mengxiu?"

As soon as these words came out, Hobupa's eyes immediately lit up.

He knew that as long as Chen Shen asked, there was hope.

So, he hastened to reply:

"At present, the main force of the Burmese army is mainly concentrated near a village called Pa Gaoda, west of Mengxiu, which is a hilly terrain slightly higher than Mengxiu, and is about 6 kilometers away from Mengxiu across the river."

"According to the results of the preliminary investigation, the Burmese army has deployed a total of three defense lines there, and also occupies two key points: the blacksmith monastery and the museum of relatives and friends."

"These two points form a triangle with Pagouda Village, with the Relatives and Friends Museum as the top corner pointing to Mengxiu."

"If they were to attack, they would probably be at the vanguard of the garrison of the Museum of Friends and Family, and what we want to do is to get rid of their deployment here first."

Chen Shen looked at the map hanging on the wall, and roughly marked the location of the Burmese army according to He Bupa's guidance, and at this glance, he found that the combat effectiveness of the Burmese army was a dish, but their middle and high-level officers had all received a certain amount of military theoretical education.

The three points are not a simple wedge-shaped layout, but the Museum of Friends and Relatives is in front of the No. 1 position, the Blacksmith's Monastery is on the northwest side and is the No. 2 position, and the main force of Pagouda is connected with the Museum of Friends and Relatives to form an isosceles triangle at the top of the corner.

Under this arrangement, it is extremely convenient for the main force to support in any direction, and when using long-range artillery fire, the scheduling of positions is also more flexible.

On the other hand, the position of the 2nd Regiment of the 7th Brigade was simply set up camp on an abandoned golf course on the west side of Mengxiu City, and it was simply dispersed to defend several suburban strongholds.

Compared with the Burmese army, it is really a superior judgment.

In this case, the Burmese army did not push over, I am afraid that they were really frightened by the two artillery pieces before, plus the private soldiers of He Bupa, who was wearing a fourth-level armor.

Depend on.

Hit a hammer to hit.

It is not the Seventh Brigade that co-authored the current stalemate, but its own Dongfeng Corps

Chen Shen couldn't help but sigh, in his opinion, Mengxiu really couldn't fight.

Unless the Seventh Brigade is determined to rely on this small city to fight urban street battles with the Burmese army, with the main goal of striking at the enemy's logistics, it is difficult to say whether the Seventh Brigade can hold out for half an hour when the positional war starts.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said:

"No way."

"It's useless for you to look for me, at this time, Miss Bao has to take action."

"Personnel, equipment, and everything that should be on it, otherwise if Mengxiu loses it, the situation that has finally been managed will really be handed away."

Hearing his words, Bao Xiaomei's face immediately became solemn.

She hesitated for a few seconds before asking:

"Is there no other way?"

"It is too early for the Wa State to enter the war, and it is easy to adversely affect our negotiations in the future."

"What we need is a gradual, blunt knife to cut the flesh, and after some things are done as established facts, the Wa State will make the final decision."

"If the Wa State enters the market now, it means that we have opened the last hole card, and the old Myanmar side may not be indifferent."

Dilemma.

Chen Shen had to admit that Bao Xiaomei's judgment was right, because once the Wa State entered the country, it meant that most of Pubei had entered the rhythm of "rebellion", all the agreements reached before were torn up, and the situation of "limited peace" was also broken.

The Burmese side will be forced into a corner, and they will have to organize a large-scale counterattack, and such consequences are really not something that a few civilian forces can afford.

Therefore, even if the Wa State wants to participate, they can only "take off their clothes" and participate again, which means that they are likely to face uncontrollable risks and losses.

Tsk Miss Bao, are you also walking on thin ice?

Chen Shen didn't speak, and the discussion between the three of them reached an impasse for a while.

It seems that the only solution is to let the Dongfeng Corps directly participate in the battle, and then use the advantages of firepower and tactics to carry out a precision strike on the Mengxiu Burmese army to achieve the corresponding strategic objectives.

But the question is, what you don't want to do, why should my Dongfeng Corps do it?

The cooperation and game of the three parties fell into a rather delicate situation, no one wanted Mengxiu to lose, but the loss caused by the loss of Mengxiu was slightly less than the price of the Wa State and the Dongfeng Corps to defend Mengxiu.

There has to be a compromise on one side.

Chen Shen turned to Bao Xiaomei and said:

"Miss Bao, everything I can do has already been done, I think, it's time for you to do something, right?"

Bao Xiaomei smiled heartily, but her attitude did not give in the slightest.

"Mr. Chen, be a good person to the end."

"I can help in many ways, in terms of equipment, materials, logistics, all of them."

"But, people, it really doesn't work."

"At least, not right now."

Hearing her answer, Chen Shen let out a long sigh.

"In that case, let's talk about the conditions."

"We can do what you don't want to do, but what compensation can you give us?"

"Whitewashing."

Bao Xiaomei replied without hesitation, it was obvious that before she came, she had already thought about the conditions she really wanted to negotiate.

"Mr. Chen, I said a long time ago that I can use my connections to make the Dongfeng Corps a real PMC company."

"You don't want to participate in direct battles with the Burmese army, it's just that you care about identity."

"Now, I can provide you with this avenue to help you and the people behind you do what you don't want to do."

"Indonesia, remember?"

Chen Shen nodded slowly.

Indeed, Bao Xiaomei had already put forward this condition a long time ago, and at that time, the Dongfeng Corps had not yet developed to the level of "having an identity", so she refused without hesitation.

But for now.

This has indeed become a step that he has to take, and if he can use the mature relationship of the Bao family to complete this step, whether it is for the Dongfeng Corps, Chen Shen himself, or Xiaoyu, it is definitely a good thing.

Very seductive.

Chen pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said:

"Yes, but it's not enough."

"I can get your identity, you can be an Indonesian citizen, the kind with an ID."

"From now on, you don't have to be confined to Pubei, you can go anywhere you want-—— even the United States."

"The business of the Dongfeng Corps can be expanded outward, and if necessary, you can even leave Pubei with your own people."

"How's that, is this condition enough?"

Bao Xiaomei's eyes became rare and serious, Chen Shen was silent for a few seconds, and then said:

"It's not enough. I had to be an Indonesian citizen first, and then the Dongfeng Corps. ”

"It's more difficult, but it's operational."

Bao Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief, and this three-way game finally came to an end in the form of a "transaction".

For herself, this was a major concession.

Because this means that the Wa State has completely lost the opportunity to control the Dongfeng Corps.

But, in order to accomplish the goal she is trying to accomplish now, she feels that it is worth it.

And so, a smile came back to her face.

"Mr. Chen, then we'll . Happy working together, right? ”

"It's a pity, I've always hoped to start a company with Mr. Chen, maybe I can still be the boss."

"But now it doesn't seem like there's a chance."

"There are still some."

Chen Shen said politely:

"However, it's okay to be a partner, but I'm afraid the boss lady can't."

Hearing this, Bao Xiaomei's eyes changed slightly, but in the end, she just laughed it off.

"In that case, Mengxiu's affairs will be handed over to Mr. Chen."

"Brigadier He, you should hand over as soon as possible."

"The situation waits for no one, and on the battlefield, every minute and second is precious."

"Mr. Chen, from now on, you are the real chief"
