The acceptance of the arsenal was indeed a huge surprise for Chen Shen, because he knew that if Xiaoyu had already made his attitude clear, it would be impossible for the Burmese side to express his position even if he did not want to.

Obviously, this is the result of many mediation and transactions between the two sides, and this result has also laid the foundation for the continued development and growth of the Dongfeng Corps.

Since then, many things that cannot be explained have become explainable.

Where did the equipment come from? Who sold you? Do you have a deal with the North? Did they provide you with assistance?

There is only one answer.

I made it myself.

What?

You ask me how did I build a tank with five teams of load-bearing wheels, a 125mm smoothbore gun, a three-layer composite armor, and a laser suppression sighting system?

Don't ask, asking is a genius.

——

Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

In fact, even if the Dongfeng Corps' arsenal starts, it will only stay at the stage of barely being able to manufacture basic equipment for a long time.

But many things are easy to follow as long as the first step is taken.

Therefore, Chen Shen was not in a hurry.

After following Xiaoyu back to the headquarters, the smile on his face was almost uncontrollable.

Originally, I thought that after this battle was fought, I might be able to get more benefits and equipment from the north, or get some commercial support through some paths.

But I never expected that the northside guy was really interesting.

What's going on now?

In ancient times, the Dongfeng Corps could be regarded as a feudal official and the king of Yunnan County!

This is definitely the best gift and the greatest reward that the Dongfeng Corps has received.

Looking at the irrepressible smile on Chen Shen's face, Xiaoyu was also in a good mood.

To give a gift, you have to send it to the idea, and the thing she is most afraid of is that Chen Shen can't understand the deep meaning behind it.

But obviously, Chen Shen, who has been able to come this far, can't even understand this truth.

"That's basically the case with the arsenal, and in the next few days, you have to arrange the manpower as soon as possible and prepare to run for the election."

"Of course, the campaign is just a process, and it basically depends on how you nominate it."

"But the allure of power, especially the power to be recognized, is great."

"You have to find a way to balance the internal relationship and make sure that there is no internal strife because of this matter."

"I understand."

Chen Shen nodded and replied:

"I will communicate with a few key people in advance so that they can do a good job of psychological construction."

"But actually, it's not as difficult as you think."

"This place in Kachin is disgusting here, but it's gone, and it's a pity to abandon it because it's tasteless."

"We don't have the way of the United States, and we can't go through the trade routes of Bangladesh and India."

"And now, the passage to southern Xinjiang is about to be completely blocked, and smuggling is completely banned, and it is difficult to say how much profit can be made here."

"Basically, jade and minerals are the main ways to make money in the later period."

"However, these things don't make money as fast as we do in Daqili now."

"Therefore, they will most likely not be too enthusiastic about this seat, and what they care more about is this market."

"It's good to be sure."

Xiao Yu didn't say much, but stood up, turned around and walked in the direction of the door.

"Why are you going?"

Chen Shen followed her inexplicably, while Xiao Yu asked even more inexplicably:

"Work, are you tired of being here for a day?"

"I don't mean that, but at least, you have to have time to rest, right?"

"It's okay to rest, but not now."

Xiao Yu sighed and continued:

"Your battle is over, but our battle has just begun."

"The current public opinion environment is quite unfavorable for you and for us, and we must think of a way."

"Fortunately, we still have a corpse in our hands, which we can make a fuss."

"Otherwise. Now that we are in the field of public opinion, I am afraid that we really don't even have the ability to fight back. ”

"Understood."

Chen Shen nodded slowly, and no longer wasted Xiaoyu's time.

He just watched Xiaoyu get into the car and drive in the direction of Myitkyina, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart.

One day in the future, I may be going to retire after all.

But small fish. But there can be no such thing as "retirement".

From the day she embarked on this path, her life was destined to be dedicated to the cause she chose.

If you want to quit, you can only die.

Accidental death, or death of old age one day.

This is definitely not an exaggeration, because Chen Shen knows that people like her can indeed unload their burdens only after they die of old age.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen's expression became a little solemn.

But in the end, he didn't say anything more.

He knew he couldn't change it all.

The only one who can change is yourself.

So, Chen Shen turned his head and returned to his office, picked up the phone on the desktop, and called everyone in the layout to the office.

Bao Xiaomei, He Bangxiong, He Bupa, Peng Deren.

The key figures of the four major forces were all gathered together, and what Chen Shen had to do was to allocate the seats in Kachin to them.

As Chen Shen expected, except for Bao Xiaomei, the other three were not very enthusiastic about Kachin's administrative power, because they naturally had no right to collect taxes, and there were only a few ways to get money.

So for them, instead of "managing" the land themselves, it is better to let a trusted partner take the power and then follow the peace talks themselves.

The first to express his stance was He Bangxiong, as a veteran lackey of the Dongfeng Corps, he didn't hesitate even for a second.

"Brother Chen, you can arrange the seat by yourself."

"The best, it's your people."

He Bangxiong bit the word "you" very hard, and everyone could understand what he meant.

"You" do not refer to the Dongfeng Corps, but to the north.

But Chen Shen knew that this was impossible.

However, before he could explain, He Bangxiong continued:

"I'm not going to get involved in Kachin anymore, we want this market."

"It's good that we have a lot of things to sell to Kachin through Tachili, through Mongla."

"But I'm going to take care of it myself. On the one hand, I have very few suitable civil servants under me, and I am not qualified to do them. ”

"On the other hand, I'm not keen on these things."

"You see, I'm actually a big boss."

"Brother Chen, unlike you, my personal hobbies are still relatively vulgar, engaging in money, women, and having some children, basically the same."

"For a person like me, if you ask me to take care of a place, all I can think of is to open mines, casinos, and technical institutes."

"Isn't the whole situation ruined?"

"So my attitude is, don't mix."

"You arrange everything, I'll just drink the soup!"

Hearing He Bangxiong's words, Chen Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He Bangxiong looks like a rough warlord, but I have to say that his mind is quite delicate.

He didn't want anything, but he made it very clear what he wanted.

This is not because he is really "content", but because he knows that there are some things that he cannot get even if he wants them.

Executive seats in Kachin State?

But don't make a fuss, is that something that someone like him can get?

Even if they can participate in the name, in reality, they are just puppets after all.

This is not a "reward", but a burden.

Well done, you don't get too many benefits; But if you don't do it well, the boss will be held accountable.

Rather than that, it's better to just do it.

When the chaos is not completely over, he honestly becomes a warlord and protects his interests in one acre and three points of land.

After more than ten years and decades, the environment here has completely settled down, and it is not logical to be "patriotic" if you directly turn into a businessman?

It is said that the first generation works as coolies, the second generation learns technology and engages in business, the third generation learns finance, and the fourth and fifth generations can engage in politics.

Now he can barely be regarded as the second generation, so he is not in a hurry at all.

What is it called?

This is called great wisdom.

Chen Shen was extremely satisfied with his reaction, but he still had to do what he wanted to do.

So, after some back and forth, Chen Shen finally "persuaded" He Bangxiong and let him accept Kachin's arrangement, but the details of the specific personnel list were discussed by the two.

With the beginning of He Bangxiong, He Bupa also expressed his position logically.

He is a smart man and more inclined to the "political" side, so Chen Shen gave him greater freedom, which can actually be regarded as a test for him.

After all, his strength is far worse than He Bangxiong, if he is really ignorant and doesn't need Chen Shen to do it himself, He Bangxiong will clean him up.

In this case, it doesn't hurt to let him explore the way and test the water.

As for Peng Deren, he had no intention of entering Kachin at all.

He is the most ambitious of all, but also the most tolerant.

He only needs to be bold, but he wants to fight for greater freedom for boldness.

"Kokang's freedom is not for the Kokang people, but for the Kokang nation."

"Sir Chen, you should be able to understand what I mean."

Chen Shen understood what he meant too well, but Chen Shen couldn't make a decision for him.

The two communicated for 10 minutes like a dumb riddle, and in the end, Peng Deren decided to go down according to the scheduled deployment first.

As for the plan he wants to express, "not for Kachin seats, but for more seats in Kokang", we can only talk about it next year.

Peng Deren was quite satisfied with the result, and likewise, he was not in a hurry.

As a result, among the four major forces, only Bao Xiaomei is the only one who has not yet expressed her position.

Chen Shen's gaze swept in her direction, and the latter lowered his head slightly, then raised his head again and said:

"I need Kachin."

"We need Kachin."

"The Wa State can take on all border security and accept many other conditions."

"This time in the fight, we didn't contribute much, but we. No, it's me, need more chips. ”

"Give me a moment, give me a chance."

Bao Xiaomei's eyes were full of pleading, and she knew very well that in this battle of Kachin, the Wa State would inevitably be the side that benefited the least.

This can be seen from the quota distribution plan announced by Chen Shen.

One Kokang occupies 20% of the total seats, while the Wa State has only 5%.

When converted into the number of people, it is just two people.

This is absolutely incompatible with the huge power that Wa already has, but in the new pattern, who can use the scale of the old pattern as a bargaining chip to serve on the table?

She knows very well that if she wants more, she has to give more.

So, she said it straight to the point.

It's not that Wa Bang needs more chips, it's that she needs it!

She wants to completely control the Wa State and use Kachin as a bargaining chip!

"Can you do it?"

Chen Shen looked at Bao Xiaomei with questioning eyes.

The latter pursed his lips tightly, and after a long time, he finally replied:

"I'll try to use a softer way."

"However, I will never hesitate."

Chen Shen nodded and said:

"We'll talk about that after you're done."

"How long will it take you?"

"A week, give me a week."

"No problem."

Chen Shen nodded decisively, and this "simple" meeting ended here.

At the end of the show, everyone realized something.

Pubei is no longer the original Pubei.

This gale from the north has set the whole land on fire.

And the distance is completely burned out, maybe it's only a matter of time

After everyone left the conference room, Bao Xiaomei stayed.

Chen Shen looked at this woman who had undergone earth-shaking changes from when they first met, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Chen Shen finally spoke:

"There are some things that should be done by your father."

"He can't do it."

Bao Xiaomei shook her head resolutely and continued:

"He's old, his brain is old, and his heart is old."

"I can even say that he doesn't know what's going on now."

"He probably thought we had just taken down a Kachin and just killed a few officers."

In his opinion, everything that happens now can be discussed at the wine table.

"But what he doesn't know is that we've been pushed to the real negotiating table."

"It's not forced, you sat on it yourself."

Chen Shen corrected.

"That's right, I sat on it myself."

"So, Mr. Chen, I'm grateful to you for giving me this opportunity."

"I wanted another chance before, but you didn't give it."

"This time, I won't miss it."

Speaking of this, Bao Xiaomei suddenly smiled.

It was a smile that was not mixed with any intrigues, extremely sincere, and even somewhat innocent.

Immediately afterward, she continued:

"But one day, maybe you'll give me another chance?"

Don't say that, there is no good end for the love brain."

Chen Shen bluntly pierced Bao Xiaomei's mind, but the latter didn't seem to be embarrassed by it.

"It's not a love brain, it's just that I learned a long time later that the gap between people may take a lifetime to make up."

"I'm not talking about the gap between me and you."

"It's us Wa people, and the gap between us and some other people in this world."

"We're all human, so why can't it be you?"

"I know it's hard, but."

"I'm idle anyway, so why don't you try?"

"That's just as well."

Chen Shen nodded slightly, the two looked at each other and smiled, Bao Xiaomei turned around and left the conference room without any hesitation or reluctance.

Looking at her back, Chen Shen sighed silently.

He knew that this would be the most difficult decision Bao Xiaomei had ever made in her life.

And this decision will be destined to lead her to a path of absolute loneliness

A few hours after Bao Xiaomei's departure, a piece of news followed the news of the total surrender of the Kachin army and dominated the headlines of all media outlets, large and small.

There was a mutiny in Wa State, and Bao Junfeng, Bao Junlong and others were placed under house arrest, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

Bao Youxiang was hospitalized due to illness, and Bao Xiaomei temporarily assumed his duties as chairman of the Wa State.

In the Wa State, wars broke out.

But in a very short period of time, the flames of war gradually died out
