Myanmar is indeed a bit small. Jedimanshan is only a hundred kilometers away from Lashio, but with this distance, it is already a territory controlled by two dedicated warlords. This reminded the Tang and Song Dynasties of Japan, a small country. In that small place, there was the so-called Warring States Period, with hundreds of countries Hey, even a village with dozens of soldiers dared to call it a country, An Could it be that the country had just been established in the morning and was pushed back in the afternoon?
Lashio is different from Jedi Manshan. Although the Tang and Song Dynasties were certain that their reputation had spread here, their attitude was hard to say. Naturally, he couldn't always send a message to them that he was going to land and consolidate this territory. So, when his ears picked up the movement in Lashio, he parked the plane on a strip of sand and gravel. As for the helicopter, as long as there are no branches or other things blocking it, it won't be difficult to stop anywhere?
In Jedimanshan, after he explained the matter clearly to the Women's Guards and asked them to set off for Naypyidaw to perform the mission now, he ignored Angki's efforts to stay and flew straight to Lashio. It only took about half an hour to reach the destination.
The reason why he parked the plane on the road was because he didn¡¯t want to walk to Lashio. He had to take a car anyway, and the traffic flow on this road was pretty good. As for whether it is safe to place the helicopter here, I think it is not a big problem - Myanmar is poor and chaotic, but the so-called chaos is caused by the exclusive rule of warlords. Because of the strict laws, ordinary people It is almost impossible to do bad things. To a certain extent, the ideal of not picking up lost items on the road may become a reality in Myanmar. If you don¡¯t dare to make ordinary small moves, then does anyone have the guts to touch this helicopter that is obviously untouchable?
Therefore, if this plane is placed on the road, unless it encounters an unscrupulous warlord force, there is no need to worry about safety issues at all. No one dared to move privately, let alone climb up.
However, for the sake of insurance, Tang and Song still used the ink on the plane to mark the ownership of the aircraft on the door - "Tang and Song Dynasty Special Plane". I believe that with these four words, no one would dare to touch it.
I don¡¯t know if it was because of the plane, but Tang Song soon stopped a pickup truck - due to the road conditions, more than 90% of the vehicles in Myanmar are various off-road vehicles.
When driving all the way to Lashio, Tang and Song, with their ears open, felt as if they were back in China. There are local accents everywhere. It¡¯s no wonder that since this territory is controlled by the Chinese, there is not much Burmese accent. Everything spoken and sung, including what is played in the cinema, is almost all Chinese.
The Tang and Song dynasties believed that if the war had not gradually disappeared in Myanmar for more than ten years, this area would have become Myanmar's fifth special zone long ago.
Finding military camps was the first priority of the Tang and Song dynasties. It would be enough for those local people to have some experience.
Regardless of whether the bosses here are Chinese or not, or whether they want to establish a fifth special zone, the purpose of the Tang and Song Dynasties was to turn this place into their own territory. He has such self-confidence, who in Myanmar can resist his will? Lin Dong can't, not any warlord, and certainly not the big guys here.
In Myanmar, basically every warlord force relies on cities to exist, because without cities, they have no income and no profits. So is it possible for such a warlord force to exist? In addition, Myanmar is a mountainous country. Except for places like Yangon, almost every city has mountains around it. Places like Naypyidaw are surrounded by mountains on all sides, leaving only one entrance and one entrance. Two ways out. These hills are the best camps for the army. Therefore, in almost every city, if there are garrisons, they are almost always not far from the urban area. In this way, it will be much easier for the Tang and Song Dynasties to search. As long as they search the mountains more , guaranteed to be discovered as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and this conclusion was drawn from the long-standing Burmese strategy of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Of course, there is no problem, so it is not surprising that the Tang and Song Dynasties soon discovered it. Then, the Tang and Song Dynasties discovered a group of foreign soldiers speaking Chinese. Hey, this was the first time they saw them. They were all Chinese, but they were serving as soldiers in foreign countries, and they were still organized troops.
But just as the Shan army only uses Shan people, if a Chinese force like Lashio does not use Chinese soldiers, then who will fight for the interests of the Chinese? It would be a good thing not to take advantage of it. When it comes to being a soldier, it is naturally better to be one of your own, because the interests are related. If you don't go all out, your parents, wife, and children may be the ones whose interests are damaged. For the sake of your own property interests or even your life, of course you can only go all out.
Although Lashio is the center of land transportation and trade between China and Myanmar, its population is actually not too large, with only a few hundred thousand people. As a result, there are not many soldiers. Tang and Song secretly calculated that there were only more than 2,000 people in that military camp. If there were no other hidden forces,If so, this should be the full strength of the Lashio forces. It seems difficult to use more than 2,000 troops to protect a city with a small population but full of benefits in a place like Myanmar. But don¡¯t forget, they are Chinese, and China is conquering the land a hundred kilometers away. Even if someone is greedy for the benefits of Lashio, they still have to have the courage to grab it.
¡°In fact, even the four major special zones, if they were not all Chinese or Chinese ethnic minorities, there would be no possibility of becoming special zones. When China originally assigned places like Kokang, which has been Chinese territory throughout history, to Myanmar, it had to give it some face, right? Letting Kokang become a special zone is naturally a satisfactory result for both parties. After all, the people living in that place have been Chinese since ancient times. It has only changed hands several times in the past hundred years. In the end, it still nominally belongs to Myanmar Hey, I remember that a long time ago, a large part of Myanmar was also Chinese territory. At least, it was also a vassal state of China, and it had to come to Korea every year.
In this way, it is not surprising that more than 2,000 people can defend Lashio. In fact, more than two thousand people not only bear the responsibility of guarding Lashio, but also perform many management functions such as administration, public security, transportation, and economy. Just like those previous forces, this is a warlord-controlled force that doesn't listen to anyone.
¡°It¡¯s a pity that they encountered a tough situation today.
??????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s more friendly to take taxis, everyone speaks Chinese, and you can hear the local accent from thousands of miles away. It¡¯s not easy anywhere except this place.
If it were placed elsewhere, no taxi might dare to drive near the military camp, but here it is a little different. If Tang and Song were from Burma, the driver might have to consider it, but because Tang and Song's Mandarin was so good, naturally no one believed that this young guy was here to cause trouble. In this way, an unpredictable killing god-level figure was taken to the military camp by the enthusiastic driver - since this little guy had something to do with the army, he was still thinking about whether he could get some light after getting acquainted with him. Unexpectedly, the reality was not at all what he thought.
"Of course, even if he didn't carry Tang and Song, it wouldn't change the fact at all. At most, Tang and Song would waste some time and take the eleventh bus
Before arriving at the military camp, notices of surrender or death from Tang and Song Dynasties had already been sent to the military camp.
After finding the top leader of more than 2,000 people, Tang and Song told the leader that he was here every time.
This is somewhat inconsistent with Tang and Song's established plans. When he was discussing with the women in Thailand, he said that no matter what the force was, he didn't have the time to deal with it slowly, and he would hypnotize all the big guys first, but after all, they are Chinese here. With power, you don't have to give face to others, but you still have to give preferential treatment to your compatriots. Therefore, the Tang and Song Dynasties informed him to make his own choice. If his choice is okay, then there is no need to hypnotize him anymore. The treatment will be the same as that of the big bosses in Shan State before, such as Aung Kyi or Deqin - modifying a person's mind does damage one's morality, if it is not necessary , Tang and Song Dynasties did not want to use such methods on their own people.
The big boss named Zhang Shan was convening a meeting with his subordinates in the military camp. He suddenly heard such words in his ears. He was startled for a moment, and then his face changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tang's words again. Song's voice:
"If General Zhang is interested, there is no need to say it. Just send someone to pick me up at the gate of the military camp. Haha, we are all Chinese, so we have to give each other some face, right? If it is publicized, I guess General Zhang will do it in the future. It will be difficult to establish a foothold in this place. In fact, I don¡¯t want to gain any actual benefits from Lashio, just a little reputation is enough. Haha, I believe the general will not let me down, right?"
"These days, the word "shogun" is as worthless as the king of Japan during the Warring States Period. Any subordinate dares to call himself a general. However, since so many subordinates addressed Zhang Shan so respectfully, the Tang and Song dynasties had no choice but to follow the Romans, right?
No actual benefits? Zhang Shan, who was still in a gloomy mood, suddenly felt relieved. He naturally knew what the reputation of Tang and Song Dynasty meant. It was nothing more than asking him to sincerely submit and issue a statement when necessary to acknowledge and accept Tang and Song Dynasty or The leadership of Myanmar¡¯s central military junta. Although this kind of statement is extremely harmful to every warlord, because with such a statement, if something happens in the future and the higher-ups want to seize power, then they will no longer be able to stand on a righteous stance. It is difficult to encourage soldiers to rebel - after all, not so many people want to be traitors.
However, this was enough for Zhang Shan. He didn't want to rebel. He only thought that it was enough to protect his own three-thirds of land. What's more, it's not that he didn't know the strength of the Tang and Song Dynasties. If he didn't even agree to such a request, then you can imagine his fate. The fate of the warlord leaders in Shan State is what he is today. But now, just sacrificing a little fame, togetherIt can still be the same as before, so what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Being able to escape from the hands of a murderous god like the Tang and Song Dynasties and ascend to heaven is the greatest victory, not to mention keeping one's status and interests.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Shan was already smiling, waving his hands and saying:
"Comrades, suspend the meeting, everyone follow me out to meet a legendary big man."
Never heard of such news?
While everyone was looking strangely surprised, Zhang Shan had already stood up and walked outside, so they had no choice but to follow behind.
Tang Song, who was still in the car, couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that he was a guy who knew the current affairs, and it was no wonder that he could firmly control this territory. He had already been told that he didn¡¯t need to tell his subordinates, but he was still able to put down his dignity and lead the crowd to welcome him Hey, in troubled times, no soldier can be underestimated, let alone such a big boss. In fact, every one of the former Shan State leaders was capable, but under the strong power of the Tang and Song Dynasties, they disappeared before they could exert one-tenth of their abilities. Relatively speaking, the Tang and Song dynasties are equivalent to the irreversible trend in Myanmar. If you want to go against his will, you will naturally have no choice but to disappear in the torrent of history.
When everyone just reached the gate of the military camp, the taxi from Tang and Song Dynasty also arrived in time.
When he saw so many big guys coming out to meet the young man in the car as if they had timed it well, the driver's eyes suddenly became a little straight. It was difficult to meet any of these big shots in Lashio, but now he met them in such a scene. All in all It seems that I have really recruited a great big shot, at least bigger than them all Hmm, are there any big shots in Myanmar who are so young? In other words, is there any young person in the Chinese world in Myanmar who is worthy of being welcomed by all of them? On the way back, the driver was still struggling with this issue.
This is the big shot that their boss wants them all to come out to meet? Apart from being quite young, I don¡¯t see anything special? Could it be said that this boy is a representative of which force?
Except for Zhang Shan, who had a serious face, everyone's eyes widened, trying to find flowers on Tang Song's face.
With a faint smile, Tang Song cupped his hands and said:
"My younger brother Tang Song, I have met you all."
Zhang Shan took two steps forward with a smile, held Tang Song's hand with both hands, shook it like a sieve, and said warmly:
"Mr. Tang, welcome. Haha, I have heard of Mr. Tang's reputation for a long time. I just saw him in person today. It's really shocking. Haha, who can believe that Mr. Tang has already done so many things that ordinary people may not do in his life at such a young age? It can be a great thing."
Zhang Shan kept his posture extremely low. He naturally knew what attitude he should take now. Others let him go, but he went up and felt uncomfortable. In fact, as soon as they met, he wanted to come up and say hello respectfully, but he was afraid that such a gesture would frighten his brother. If any bad words came out, it would be bad, so he would rather wait for Tang and Song Dynasty to say hello. Sign up first and shock those brothers first. As for the previous rudeness, there are many ways to make up for it. I believe this person doesn¡¯t care about these things
Zhang Shan¡¯s guess is correct.
When the name "Tang and Song Dynasty" first came to everyone's ears, many people were immediately startled and their expressions became serious. A few slow-responsive people were about to yell once or twice, asking Tang and Song Dynasty where the green onion came from, but before they could say anything, someone around them covered their mouths After struggling, someone whispered in his ear and explained - he was from Tang and Song Dynasties. Think about the previous changes in Shan State.
The struggling movements suddenly froze, and then the sound of breathing came out - he, is he the murderous god of Tang and Song Dynasty? It is said that for such a powerful boss in Shan State, all the major and minor forces were dissipated under his single-handed control. It is said that the Bamar people, one of the three major forces, were not convinced and found killers from the international community and mobilized all their troops to try. After getting rid of him, he killed hundreds of soldiers in all directions. In the end, even Angze Shanming who escaped was caught and killed by him, but he was fine at all
This is him? A true legend. It is said that Lin Dong came to power because of his single-handed support. It is said that he single-handedly broke into the Peace and Development Committee meeting, personally rescued Lin Dong and captured Than Shwe
¡°And such a person who personally created Myanmar¡¯s new pattern is now standing in front of them
At this moment, no one could feel Tang Song's youth anymore, they could only feel his unfathomable As soon as the eyes of a few reckless people came into contact with Tang Song, their gentle eyes fell on them, but they It has become a sharp point that cannot be looked at In fact, their anger is vented, which naturally means that no one has the confidence.
Looking at the dumbfounded crowd, Tang Song put down his hand that was still held by Zhang Shan, smiled and said:
"What, ???Am I welcome? "
Although he knew that Tang and Song were joking, Zhang Shan still broke out in a cold sweat for some reason He laughed loudly:
"How could they not welcome Mr. Tang? They talked about Mr. Tang's deeds on weekdays, and they all admired him so much Haha, I probably never thought that Mr. Tang could actually appear in front of them, and they were a little stupid with excitement " As he spoke, Zhang Shan turned around and glared at everyone, then returned to his smile and said to Tang Song:
"Come on, Mr. Tang, let me introduce you. These are my unworthy subordinates. This is my assistant"
After knowing the identities of Tang and Song Dynasties, their appearance became very clear. They seemed to be worse than Zhang Shan. They were either nervous or uncomfortably smiling. No way, who doesn¡¯t know what the Tang and Song Dynasties did? When someone like him comes to your door, it's like a night owl entering your house. How can anything good happen? If they don't get it right, they will use all the possibilities of losing their lives. Of course, they also know that this is only a possibility. As long as they don't make this guy unable to step down or make him very angry, basically the same tragedy as the Burmese will not happen, but Even so, the faint smile on Tang and Song's faces looked like a sneer on a slaughtered lamb in their eyes.
¡°Well, you¡¯re not that powerful, are you? Tang Song smiled and said:
"Everyone, please relax. I am not a murderer or a psychopath. We are all compatriots. Haha, there will be many opportunities to get together in the future. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me"
After greetings, everyone finally returned to the hall and sat down. Of course, the superior position must belong to the Tang and Song Dynasties. Not to mention that Zhang Shan did not dare to have any extravagant hopes now, and no one dared to have an opinion.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The entire hall was silent, really echoing that sentence - you can hear a pin drop! Then Zhang Shan finally spoke:
"Mr. Tang, since you are here, please tell us a few words. Well, everyone welcomes us with a round of applause."
Then, the applause became a wave Regardless of whether you are welcome or not, you still have to go through the procedures and follow the etiquette. You don't dare to let someone remember who's rudeness from now on
Tang Song smiled faintly, pressed his hands down, and then the hall returned to silence - these guys are now more obedient than the primary school students in the classroom. Tang and Song finally began to lecture:
"Haha, since everyone is so welcoming, let me just say a few words. Well, we are all compatriots, so I don't have to say anything. I guess everyone knows what I have been doing recently and what kind of things I have accomplished. Probably You can guess the purpose of my visit to Lashio. Yes, as everyone thinks, the current central military government of Myanmar will not allow any disobedient warlord dictatorial force to exist. All warlord dictatorship forces, hilltop doctrine , no matter how big or small, strong or weak, whether they understand the current affairs or not, the final result can only be the same as those forces before Shan State. There is no other way to go. The only thing that can be distinguished is whether to actively become that kind of existence or not. Passively become such a local government"
Looking around, no one dared to confront Tang Song After a pause, Tang Song suddenly smiled:
"But, no matter what, we are compatriots, right? Therefore, I hope that everyone here, especially Brother Zhang Shan, can take some initiative on some matters. For example, make some statements that are beneficial to you, such as following the forces in Shan State Learn something and do something that benefits the local people In this way, everyone will occupy a certain advantageous position, so that some people can no longer say anything. The benefits to everyone are naturally self-evident, and I also It doesn¡¯t have to be so difficult, right? Okay, now that I¡¯ve finished speaking, everything depends on everyone¡¯s future performance.¡±
¡° Another wave of applause rang out Heh, I wonder if the troops here are like those in China, and have learned a very professional course on how to applaud.
Then, Zhang Shan expressed his position:
"Did everyone hear clearly what Mr. Tang said? Although Mr. Tang only said a few words from a high position, each sentence has a great enlightening effect on us and points out the direction for our future path. For example, We must take the initiative, issue a statement, support the Central Military Government and obey the orders of the Central Military Government. We must work hard to do things that are beneficial to the people, such as learning from the forces in Shan State and promulgating the "Interim Regulations of the Independent Commission Against Corruption" " and the "State Compensation Law", such as launching a top-down criticism and self-criticism activity in the military Well, the last two points are the top priority. I hope everyone here can grasp the spirit of Mr. Tang's speech. I have questions. Those who have no problem must self-criticize and take the initiative to correct them. If there is no problem, we must encourage them and continue to maintain it. I believe that as long as we do these things well, the people of Lashio will definitely welcome us to stay here and continue to protect them. I phase?Mr. Tang also hopes that we can continue to serve this city where Chinese make up the majority? What do you think? "
Listening to the sound of everyone letting out a long breath, listening to the still tidal wave of applause that seemed to be getting more intense, and looking at Zhang Shan's somewhat pleading expression, Tang Song couldn't help but smile, thinking that this guy was really good at inserting holes in, and suddenly blocked him with words. Shut his mouth. However, this was enough. He, Tang, really didn't want to take advantage of them or clean them thoroughly. After all, they were all Chinese compatriots, not to mention that they had such an attitude.
Of course, this does not mean that Tang and Song Dynasties recognized some of their previous corruption and bribery, which may have been more serious He nodded and said:
"Of course, if you and your officers and soldiers really do what General Zhang just said, I believe this is what everyone hopes to see, and no one dares to have any objections to you. However, there is one thing I want to say something, that is, in the city of Lashio, except that the people are mainly Chinese, I think it is not much different from other places in Myanmar. Regardless of urban construction, transportation, or other infrastructure, it is not very good, even It is not as good as some towns in the country. So, I hope that the officers and soldiers who need to carry out self-criticism activities can pay more attention to this city. After all, it is also where you live, isn't it? Haha, that's all I have to say."
Zhang Shan understood what Tang and Song Dynasty meant. He wanted the officers and soldiers in question to spend some shady money on Lashio¡¯s infrastructure. Although this was just a proposal and did not say how much it would cost, Zhang Shan did not Dare to underestimate any words of Tang and Song Dynasty - all those who underestimate him will suffer, and he does not want to make the same mistake. Of course, Zhang Shan also understood what Tang and Song Dynasties only mentioned one or two sentences, that is, everyone does not need to donate all their wealth, as long as they can show their sincerity and everything is justified. This is considered preferential treatment for compatriots - in fact, in Myanmar, if some Burmese people become soldiers because they don't have enough to eat, this problem basically does not exist for the Chinese. If there is no benefit, who will become soldiers? Where are the soldiers? Therefore, it is basically impossible to treat Chinese soldiers harshly, and they have already mutinied. Because of this, there is such room in the words of Tang and Song Dynasties.
After talking for a while and making some specious guarantees to Tang and Song Dynasties, it was time for lunch. Of course, I want to entertain Mr. Tang well. Even if he is not the God of Death, he is still a compatriot, right? It's easy to meet them abroad, so they still need to have this etiquette. Besides, they really hope to have a good relationship with Tang and Song Dynasties. Hey, with Tang Song as the current boss, then everything can be done as long as they keep face. Who dares to cause trouble for them?
Tang Song did not refuse and enjoyed an authentic Chinese meal with Zhang Shan and others. Although there are many Chinese in Myanmar and more restaurants, it is not easy to eat such authentic Chinese food. After all, given Zhang Shan's status, it is normal for them to enjoy this kind of resource more than what is available on the market.
Because he had to fly in the afternoon, Tang Song just had a few drinks - in fact, if it weren't for the soldiers' persuasion to drink, he wouldn't have wanted to drink. This thing was too irritating to the vocal cords, but they said it, so he couldn't drink at all. Not giving face, right?
After dinner, Tang Song said goodbye and left. As for how Lashio used the spirit of his speech, he had no time to care. For better or worse, they can't move? It¡¯s okay if it¡¯s passable, but it¡¯s really a bit unjustifiable, so just come back when you can.
Of course, because the two parties reached an agreement, Tang and Song did not take a taxi to find the plane. Instead, Zhang Shan personally drove him to the section where the plane stopped. This made the Tang and Song Dynasties a little embarrassed. They parked the plane on the road instead of landing directly at the military camp. This behavior seemed a bit timid and some did not trust their compatriots
