Chapter 391: Betrayal
And at the same time that Chen Shen was discussing with Xiao Yu how to further strengthen the firepower of the Dongfeng Corps, so as to carry out a wave of convincing enough "persuasion" to Xiao Mengla under the leadership of Lin Mingxian, in Mengla, which was only a few dozen kilometers away from Mengka, in an ordinary office, two men were having a conversation of great importance.
Sitting on the left side of the sofa was undoubtedly Lin Mingxian, the "head" of the Fourth Special Region, and sitting opposite him was a man Chen Shen had never seen before, but had already heard the name.
Deputy Commander of the Kachin Army, Head of the Kachin Army's External Liaison, Member of the FPNCC, and one of the first civil military leaders to visit the United States in a public capacity in 2014.
It should be said that it is reasonable for such a person to appear anywhere, but at this "sensitive" point in time, he actually crossed many obstacles and appeared in Mengla, but it is unreasonable in the reasonable.
And his appearance, in fact, already represents a certain attitude, on the other hand, Lin Mingxian personally received him, which also represents the attitude of Mengla.
From the moment they met, the two sides had actually reached an agreement, and all they had to talk about now was the specifics of the cooperation.
Looking at Gan Mao, who was full of confidence on the other side, Lin Mingxian sighed softly, and then said:
"General, we have received your proposal, but with all due respect, this proposal is 'treacherous' to us."
"We have a great relationship with Kokang, and it is impossible for you not to know the origin of Mr. Peng and me."
"In this case, if you want me to cooperate with you and betray Mr. Peng's friend, I'm afraid I can't do it."
"What's more, when the situation has basically stabilized and everyone is thriving and seeking development, it is unpopular for us to provoke a war again, no matter what angle it is."
"An unjust war cannot be won."
"I still have to advise the general to think more, maybe this time, we should really take a step back and go with the general trend."
Lin Mingxian's words can be described as high-sounding, to be high-level, to be emotional.
If it is a low-ranking player, I am afraid that I really misread what he meant, thinking that he is a righteous person with both loyalty and filial piety and far-sightedness.
However, neither of them here is a fool, and Gan Mao's visit to the United States on behalf of Kachin three years later has proved his profound skills in "mediation."
Therefore, he immediately heard the meaning of Lin Mingxian's words.
In the final analysis, isn't it just that the benefits are not enough?
What is a Peng Jiasheng?
Not to mention that he is already dying, and his courage is far away for Mengla, purely from the perspective of interests, as long as the money is enough, what can't Lin Mingxian do?
The reason why Lin Mingxian didn't support them when Bai rebelled before, was it really because of the so-called ethereal "friendship"?
Don't be funny.
To put it bluntly, it's not that the spoils are unevenly distributed, and the white ones are not as generous as the Peng family?
As long as the money is enough, he can kill his father, what is Peng Jiasheng, and what is Peng Deren?
Thinking of this, Gan Mao pretended to sigh regretfully, and then said:
"I can understand Mr. Lin's difficulties, but I still say the same thing: I hope Mr. Lin can recognize the reality."
"Now is not the time to be humane and reasonable, the enemy has already pushed us into a corner, and if we don't fight back, we will lose everything."
"You can also see that Wa, Shan, and Kokang have been connected, and the entire land of northern Puda has fallen into their hands."
"Karen is far away in southern Myanmar, so it can be said that it is a corner of the country, and it does not play a big role in the whole situation."
"Other small-scale civilian militias are more bandits than 'armed'."
"You can't rely on them, and if you want to save the situation, you can only rely on us."
"We can only rely on Kachin and Mongla."
"We know this, and of course the enemy knows."
"So, even if we don't do anything, you and I will become the next target of the so-called coalition forces-ββ and the lessons of Zhao Jialiang are still in front of us!"
Hearing Gan Mao's words, Lin Mingxian was silent.
Of course, he knew these things, and even before Gan Mao came, he had already prepared for them.
But what you come up with is not the same as what comes out of someone else's mouth.
The same content is repeated here in Ganmao, as if it had become a fact.
His heart became more and more determined, and some of the strategies he had conceived long ago became more and more concrete.
But he knew that the more times like this, the more he could not easily express his position.
You have to let the other party bid, and when the price is high enough, you can "reluctantly" agree.
So, he spoke:
"I don't believe they're going to be bad for us Mongla."
"Mongla is an important part of the plan of the Wa-Shan Confederation Army, and the Bagan Railway will most likely pass through our territory, of course, even if it does not go from our territory, the Taluo port will become an important port because of this railway."
"At the same time, we are also preparing to cooperate with the north to build a secondary hydropower station on the Nanlei River, which represents a major step forward in our relationship."
"Look, General, I really can't think of any need for me to turn against them in such a good situation."
"But it's always under the fence, isn't it?"
Gan Mao's voice was lowered a little, and the old god said on the ground.
This is not called sending people under the fence, it should be called win-win cooperation."
"Win-win cooperation is just a trick to deceive children. Mr. Lin, I don't think we need to make too many detours. β
"You know, I was originally responsible for mediation and communication, and I am also good at dancing with long sleeves and exquisite in all directions."
"The two of us are playing dumb riddles, and it's really tiring."
"It's better to be direct and honest."
Gan Mao leaned back on the sofa, and the whole person showed an unguarded relaxed posture, while Lin Mingxian suddenly said after thinking silently for a few seconds:
"Let's not talk about how to distribute the benefits, why do you think we can beat them?"
When it comes to this step, Gan Mao has finally made a breakthrough.
He let out a long sigh of relief, and replied with relief:
"In terms of troops, they do have the advantage."
"But in terms of equipment, they don't necessarily have an advantage."
They have the Wa state, you say they are not superior in equipment? They have several helicopters! β
Lin Mingxian shook his head and questioned.
"What about helicopters? We can have individual anti-aircraft missiles. β
"With the skills of the Wa pilots, how many missiles can they carry?"
"They have armored vehicles."
"We have it, you don't, but you can have it."
Gan Mao's words fell, and Lin Mingxian's heart suddenly jumped.
He vaguely guessed what Gan Mao meant, but in this case, he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
So, he just asked tentatively:
"We still have. Other foreign aid? β
"Of course."
Gan Mao nodded confidently, and then said:
"There are many people who don't want to see the situation in Pubei develop in this direction, and they don't want Bagan to 'take a firm stance' at this point in time."
"So, they're willing to 'pay' for our actions, or should I say, sponsor them."
Hearing his words, Lin Mingxian nodded slowly and solemnly, and then continued to ask:
"How far can it be done?"
"In short, we can have armored vehicles, we can have advanced missiles, we can have heavy weapons."
"These things will be brought in from far away, bypassing their spheres of influence and reaching you."
"Of course, you may not be able to get heavy equipment, and you will have a hard time."
"But I promise that while the war is going on on your side, we will also enter the battlefield to share the pressure for you."
"We are very confident that Kokang will never participate in this 'war', and our first battle is a decisive battle with the Wa State."
"And the only thing you need to deal with is the Shan State Army, only the Dongfeng Army!"
"How about it, Mr. Lin, can this condition convince you?"
It's tempting indeed.
Lin Xianming's brows furrowed, and he vaguely felt that there was a major opportunity in front of him.
Yes, the Dongfeng Corps is strong, and the North and South Shan State armies are also strong.
They crisscrossed Pubei, took Dachili, and even controlled a vast area.
However, is their interior really monolithic?
Can they really afford to fail?
No, it's impossible.
The core of the Shan State Army is not the Shan State Army, but the Dongfeng Corps.
If the Dongfeng Corps can be annihilated in one fell swoop, won't the matter be over?
At present, the Shan State Army in the north and south is deploying heavy troops in Dachili, and they are facing pressure from many sides, both in terms of strength and equipment.
The only thing I really want to fight is Mengka!
There are less than 500 defenders of the 7th Brigade of Mengka, and a Dongfeng Corps of dozens of people!
Even if they have tanks, so what?
The man in front of him had already promised to provide equipment.
missile
Even if it is just a single missile, it is a "high-precision weapon" that I once did not dare to imagine at all.
Lin Mingxian didn't believe that with such support, he couldn't defeat the Dongfeng Corps!
They are not immortals, they have 4 brigades and 5,000 troops in their hands, can't they even beat 50 people?!
Lin Mingxian completely thought about it.
He opened his mouth and said:
"I don't have a problem."
"But we can't just start fighting, right?"
"It won't do us any good to declare war head-on, we should."
"Mr. Lin, you don't need to worry about this."
Gan Mao finally put his mind at ease, he interrupted Lin Mingxian's words, and continued to speak:
"We've been testing a bit before that."
"Of course, objectively speaking, the effect is mediocre, but it does cause them problems."
"We will attack them from three directions."
"Cut off the economy, cut off the chiefs, and conquer the city."
"Conquering the city and fighting a large-scale decisive battle is the final step, and we have a lot to do until then."
"We need your cooperation-ββ which is one of the reasons I found you today."
"Assassination?"
Lin Mingxian's eyes froze, and he asked in a low voice.
Gan Mao put down the teacup he was holding in his hand and nodded slowly.
"We need a chance, Mr. Lin, you need to create this opportunity for us."
"Impossible."
Lin Mingxian shook his head without hesitation, and then said:
"You don't know the Dongfeng Corps, and you don't know the mercenary called the shipwreck."
"He was cautious, one might even say, of all the people I've ever met."
"You can't find an opportunity to assassinate him, and if you do, it's probably a flaw that he deliberately exposed."
"That's just for conventional means."
Gan Mao interrupted Lin Mingxian again, and then said:
"But this time, we have something new."
"You don't need to know too much, you only need to help us do one thing: ask Chen Shen out."
"As long as he takes one step away from his base, he will definitely die."
"Or, there's another option."
"Find a way to get your people in front of him."
"That person doesn't need to do anything, not even physical contact, but just to see him, that's all."
When Gan Mao's words come to this, in Lin Mingxian's opinion, they even have a bit of a "Arabian Nights" flavor.
However, from the other party's determined expression, he also guessed who the force that helped this time was.
Therefore, Lin Mingxian did not ask more, but after thinking about it carefully, he replied:
"It's impossible to get him out of the base-ββ even if he leaves, he will be in an armored car, can you knock out the armored car?"
"There is a chance, but it is more difficult."
Gan Mao replied frankly.
"So in other words, it's better to send our people to his turf, let me think about it."
Lin Mingxian's brows furrowed, and after a long time, he suddenly spoke:
"There's only one reason to meet him."
"Surrender."
"I want to join the coalition and become their vassal-ββ in order to dispel their suspicions, of course, a conditional vassal."
"We need to negotiate and that's the chance."
"I'll have to talk to the Bao family, and maybe I'll have to talk to Peng Deren."
"That's up to you."
Gan Mao nodded with satisfaction, he was too satisfied with Lin Mingxian's reaction.
In his opinion, the other party is the real "one who knows the times as a handsome".
True, the Dongfeng Corps did not yet know what kind of enemy they were facing.
Shadow Corps? MPRIοΌ These teams are very strong, but there are always too many uncontrollable surprises in a head-to-head confrontation, and their defeat is understandable.
But what if it's CIASAD who ends?
This name is not even heard of by many people, but Gan Mao knows that if the Navy SEALs are the ceiling of special forces, CIASAD is the ceiling of intelligence and spies.
Within the scope of "operations", the Dongfeng Corps may be able to fight back and forth with the Navy SEALs, but what about the secret service field?
At least, it can't be your specialty, right?
The gap is there, and the experts at CIASAD never miss a beat.
At least I have never heard of a case of them missing
