As Chen Shen expected, the "sanctions" initiated by the 505th Brigade and the Burmese Army soon fell to the ground, and the entire Shan State fell into an unprecedented predicament.

There were no guns, no bullets, and even the raw materials needed for industry were greatly restricted, and several home-made weapons factories in Shan State were unable to maintain production, and the coalition forces were almost cut off from supplies.

Of course, they are not enough to say that they have run out of ammunition and food, after all, the previous situation was still dominated by "confrontation", and the consumption of ammunition was not large.

But the problem is that if this situation continues, within a month, the entire coalition army will "suffocate to death"!

He Bangxiong and He Bupa were already crazy, but the Bao family calmed down at this time.

As the last hole card, they are crushing to other forces in terms of the number of troops and the amount of weapons and ammunition reserves, and for them, the big deal is that in the end, the 7th Brigade and the 756th Brigade all withdraw from the battle and surrender, they will act as if nothing happened, and make a joke with everyone.

However, Chen Shen will definitely not allow such a thing to happen, and the situation he has painstakingly managed must not be ruined by this absurd and powerless "sanction".

Therefore, after the situation became clear, he immediately gathered all the core members of the Dongfeng Corps and began to formulate an operational plan for the coming period.

——

Or more precisely, the operational readiness plan.

Because the focus of this meeting is not how to fight, how many troops to use, and what tactics to use, but about equipment.

In the combat command room of the Dongfeng Corps, everyone gathered together.

Looking at the increasingly complex combat map, Chen Shen's brows also furrowed.

Now the situation we are facing is very clear, and the entire battlefield is divided into four lines."

"The first line is the Mengxiu line in charge of the second regiment of the seventh brigade."

"The second line is the Jingdong North and Wantao lines jointly responsible for the 7th Brigade and the 756th Brigade."

"The third line is the Jingdongnan and Palau lines in charge of the 756 Brigade."

"The fourth line is the Jingdongxi and Mengbin lines under the responsibility of the 756 Brigade Mobile Regiment."

"These four fronts complement each other, and as long as there is one line to fight, all other fronts will inevitably break out at the same time."

"In addition, we are facing a threat from the 505th Brigade of Tachili, and the Palau line will be under significant pressure."

"Therefore, if we want to stabilize the situation and create opportunities for peace talks, the most important thing we need to do is to help the Palau line block the attack of the 505th Brigade."

"In terms of troops, we don't have it, all we can do is strengthen our equipment."

"Xu You, how is the second batch of body armor prepared?"

Hearing Chen Shen's question, Xu You immediately stood up and replied:

"The second batch of 2,000 pieces of body armor has arrived in Mengla, and customs clearance is underway, and it is expected to arrive in Mengyang tomorrow and be delivered to Jingdong the day after tomorrow."

"According to the plan, 500 pieces of this batch of body armor will be delivered to the 7th Brigade and 1500 pieces to the 756th Brigade, neither of which can be paid in cash, we have already negotiated, we have negotiated a barter trade contract, the 7th Brigade will pay for ore, and the 756 Brigade will pay for timber."

"The payment period is 12 months, the total purchase contract price is $12 million, and the total barter contract price is $16 million, discounted"

"Don't report so much!"

Chen Shen interrupted Xu You and continued to ask:

"In addition to body armor, can all kinds of carrying equipment, clothing, shoes, hats, and helmets be in place?"

"It has been put in place, and there are currently 6,000 sets in Mengla customs clearance, and 3,000 sets have been shipped to Jingdong."

"What about the war rations? What about food for individual combat? ”

"It has been transported and is currently under the unified management of the 756 brigade."

Hearing this, Chen Shen nodded slightly.

All the things that Xu You asked to do before have basically been done, and the "soft power construction" of the entire coalition army has reached its peak.

Theoretically, the lower limit of the combat effectiveness of this team has been locked, and there will basically be no more collapse consequences of a complete rout in the first confrontation due to insufficient protective equipment and supplies.

This gave the Dongfeng Corps a relatively safe combat environment - at least, Chen Shen didn't have to worry about his home being stolen once he went out.

Even if the 756 Brigade is to be defeated, they will definitely be able to hold it for a while.

So during this period of time, whether the Dongfeng Corps is helping or withdrawing, there is room to flicker and move.

But this alone is not enough, because what Chen Shen needs is to completely subdue the 505 Brigade.

So, after a little thought, he immediately came up with his new order.

"You did well before, but now the situation has changed, and we can't afford to drag on the war under severe sanctions."

"We have to start fighting in the shortest possible time, and this shortest possible time, I mean two weeks."

"In these two weeks, we must complete a new round of equipment replenishment plan."

"So, here's what you need to do."

"First, according to the information I provided to you, send a letter of inquiry to a company called Xinyu Guoke in the north to purchase a batch of civilian rain-enhancing rockets from them."

"You don't have to worry too much about the price, as long as they ship, we will accept all the orders."

"This year, the climate in the north is humid, there are heavy rainstorms in various places, and the rain-enhancing equipment is seriously unsalable, so they urgently need to digest the excess capacity and dispose of the backlog of products."

"This is our chance, and we must take it."

"According to the results of the preliminary investigation, the price of a rain enhancement rocket is about 2,000 to 3,000 RMB, which is converted into US dollars, which is 300 to 400 US dollars."

"We place an order for 10,000 rounds first-—— they should have it, because they have a production capacity of close to 100,000 rounds a year, and it is impossible not to get this thing."

"Of course, if they are not enough, there are two other companies, called Zhongtian Rocket and Xi'an Qinghua, which also have similar products for sale."

"However, the latter two have no export records, so it may be a little more difficult to discuss, so you have to find a way to deal with it."

"Understood!"

Xu You nodded immediately, while Chen Shen continued.

"After we get the rocket, we also need to modify the rocket warhead."

"Actually, it's not that hard, just replace the silver iodide in the shell with ANFO, black sokin or picric acid."

"Hei Sokin's stock, the Seventh Brigade and the 756th Brigade should have a lot, in case it is not enough, you can find a way to bring me a batch of concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid, and we will arrange for someone to rub it by hand."

"Of course, this is the last resort, and we must evaluate the operability before acting."

"If you really can't do it, get two compression granulators back and make compressed black powder!"

"How's it going, are there any difficulties?"

"No, it can all be solved."

Xu You shook his head and continued:

"Don't talk about the two brigades, there are a lot of them in the warehouse of our Huamei Company-—— I expected that as soon as the battle started, explosives would definitely be needed, so I hoarded a large number of them."

"Including picric acid, black sokin, various nitrifying propellants, and a small amount of CL-20, all of them."

Chen Shen looked at Xu You in surprise and asked in disbelief:

"You have all the CL-20?? Where did you get it from? ”

"Very little, I don't know where it came from, but I saw it in the market by chance, so I bought it."

"The market you're talking about can't be the open market, right?"

"Of course not, it's the internal market."

"That's fine."

Chen Shen nodded slightly, and looked at Xu You with a bit of approval in his eyes.

"I'll leave all the equipment procurement to you, do you have any other difficulties?"

Hearing this, Xu You pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"We need a lot of capacity, but Wanfeng Group. Refusal to provide additional capacity. ”

"Their reasons are very strong-—— not because of vague sanctions, but because they have a considerable base in Daqili."

"If you cooperate with us here, you will be beaten there."

"I don't know what to do, and if I look for other capacity, the cost and efficiency can't be completely guaranteed."

When the words fell, Chen Shen's brows furrowed.

He never expected that Wanfeng Group would come up at this juncture.

Indeed, their reasons are strong and reasonable.

But when it's time to take sides, you shouldn't think about whether the fuck is justified or not!

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

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

"I'll talk to him. What about the other problems? ”

"There are no other problems, I promise to have all the equipment ready before the war."

"But for the transformation, the 7th Brigade and the 756th Brigade have to cooperate."

"They'll cooperate."

Chen Shen said leisurely.

He then declared the meeting over, stood up and walked out the door.

Half an hour later, he met Peng Xucheng in the sixth-floor reception room of the Wanfeng Hotel, whose expression was slightly uneasy, but he still maintained his basic composure.

"Why did you refuse to provide us with logistics services? Do you not do any business at the door? ”

Chen Shen opened his mouth bluntly, while Peng Xucheng paused for several seconds before finally answering:

"Shipwreck, I have already explained this problem to Xu You."

"Our basic situation is in a big way, if it was the previous confrontation situation, it would be easy to say, but now the 505 Brigade has de facto declared war on the coalition forces."

"We can't risk helping you anymore, because that could put Wanfeng Group in a situation from which it will never recover."

"In business, you should understand us."

"In fact, we are all regretting handing over the C-RAM to you now, because we didn't expect the 505 Brigade to react so much-—— if it weren't for the side of yours, we would even consider getting that equipment back."

"But do you see we've opened our mouths? That's our sincerity! ”

"Your sincerity is to refuse to provide services to us after monopolizing the logistics of most of the Shan State?"

"We're not refusing, we just can't do it."

Peng Xucheng's tone was a little helpless, and after sighing, he continued to speak:

"Do you think we're not afraid of death? To be honest, in this situation, even if you take the Dongfeng Corps to defeat the Wanfeng Group, I won't be surprised. ”

"You have the strength, and you have the motivation."

"But we still have to cut ties with you, because the fundamentals of Dachili are more important than Mengka."

"Shipwreck, I hope you can understand me, this is a choice of last resort"

"You're lying."

Chen Shen interrupted him without hesitation, and then said:

"As long as you can fully cooperate with us, after you take it down, you can get back everything you have lost, and even earn more."

"You are a group of businessmen, and what you pursue is profit, and I don't believe that you can't even understand this most basic truth."

"You have a point."

Peng Xucheng raised his head, looked directly at Chen Shen and said:

"But the premise of all this is that you can really kill the 505 Brigade and kill Zhao Jialiang."

"But you gave up the best chance, didn't you? After this, what else can you do to kill him? ”

"I really can't think of any feasible way other than decapitation operations, probably because I don't understand military affairs."

"But, I don't understand, it's impossible for all the high-level leaders not to understand, they are also fought out of the sea of corpses and blood."

"No need to talk nonsense. So it's just not negotiable, right? ”

Chen Shen interrupted again.

"It's really not negotiable."

"You want us to take the risk of working with you, or at least show us value."

"And now. Tell me, what's the value? ”

"Then there's not much to say."

Chen Shen stopped talking nonsense and turned to leave.

From this moment on, he knew that Wanfeng Group was no longer a friend.

Looking at Chen Shen's back, Peng Xucheng was in a complicated mood.

He sat alone in the reception room for half an hour, not saying a word or making any movements.

What Chen Shen can think of, of course he can think of.

But it's really not something he can decide, to put it bluntly.

He's just a messenger.

Peng Xucheng sighed heavily, and at this moment, someone walked out of the room behind the reception room.

The man patted him on the shoulder and said:

"You did a great job and expressed yourself resolutely."

"It's all over, they've been cut off from all support, and the Wa State won't take a direct shot."

"This chaos, or farce, is over here."

Hearing this, Peng Xucheng nodded slightly.

He seemed to agree, but after a few seconds of silence, he asked again:

"Can it really end?"

"Boss, do you really think the Dongfeng Corps can't bear it?"

"They can't bear it."

A mocking smile appeared on the man's face, and then he continued:

"You all overestimate this so-called Dongfeng Corps and this shipwreck."

"We've found out, they don't have any official background at all-—— yes, they have some cooperation with the north, but it's just a purely commercial cooperation."

"No one is going to stand up for them, and no one is going to give them support 'outside the rules.'"

"So, this time they will definitely lose."

"Relying on so many people and so much equipment, they want to fight the 505 Brigade, and they want to challenge the order of Pubei, what are they thinking?"

"If there are less than 4,000 people, you have to take Jingdong, is this a joke with me? Who does he think he is? ”

"Don't worry, he can't do it"

"We just have to choose the direction where we are most likely to win and bet, because it must not be possible"

"Boom!"

A loud bang suddenly exploded, and the man's unfinished words were abruptly interrupted.

He could clearly feel a vibration under his feet, and then a dense burst of gunfire rang out.

The man's eyes were split.

He had already guessed what was happening.

The shipwreck of the Dongfeng Corps

I don't care about you

Extremely daring!!
