"Can you win?"
I'm on the phone with Yang Rong.
Yang Rong is asking me for money.
Yes, that's right. Since the capture of Mengmao County, not only has that poor place not created a penny of income for me, but now I have to put money into it.
Why?
Because of military control!
Because of Yang Rong's caution.
Because all the goods of passing merchants must be strictly inspected, everyone can only take the main road, and all tax avoidance locations are blocked to avoid being attacked by surprise, causing the intersection of the five armies that should be developed to become a dead city. .
Therefore, Meng Neng will become more and more developed.
Our phone calls also talked about money, defense, and troop deployment. After Yang Rong told me everything, he gave me a number.
He said that if the Burmese army came to attack, they could defend it for four hours.
At this time, I stupidly asked: "Can I win?"
In fact, I know the answer in my heart. The big boss Peng and his allied forces cannot defend Nantianmen in the mountains, but my county town surrounded by mountains can be defended?
But I still have to ask this question, otherwise what would I use you as a general for?
"Can win."
Yang Rong gave me an unexpected answer.
I laughed.
This is probably the funniest joke I have ever heard since I came to Southeast Asia.
Just like when I saw a child who studied well when I was a child, I asked disdainfully: "You can get into Peking University, you work so hard." The question was so irritating, and they replied: "You can get into Tsinghua University!"
However, I can understand it.
People like them have stayed in Meng Neng for such a long time, and they will more or less acquire some Jianghu habits, not to mention that as generals, they cannot destroy their own prestige, of course they will say so.
"Do you believe me?"
Yang Rong asked again.
I quickly replied: "I don't believe you, who do I believe?"
This is the truth.
All my family assets are at risk, and all my equipment is at risk. If I don’t believe him, who will I believe?
Yang Rong replied: "Okay, since you believe me, from now on, don't believe anyone but me. Once you get the news of a sudden war, bring people over immediately and be ready to counterattack at any time. Do you dare?"
Counterattack?
This phone call was like listening to a book from heaven.
"OK."
Yang Rong said 'hmm' and finally said: "Remember to pay."
Then I heard a busy signal on the phone.
This time, I no longer concealed any strategic intentions. I told Yang Rong straight away that they might have to withstand the attack of the Burmese army, because I had to tell all the forces in northern Myanmar that I, Xu Ruifeng, could not be pinched by anyone. Soft persimmon.
He is the commander-in-chief of my Chinese army, so I will naturally not hide anything from him.
As for whether he hid anything from me, I don't know.
"Hambula!"
After hanging up the phone, I stood in the office and shouted outside.
Banbula walked in. The straight back he had developed when he was the police chief was now bent. Two big dark circles rested on his eye sockets from exhaustion, and even the bags under his eyes were a lot bigger: "Sir, something's wrong. ?”
"How much money is left on the books?"
"After deducting necessary expenses and adding the latest income, there are still 20 million left, but there is money for tanks from the West Asians..."
"Call them all to Mengmao."
As soon as I finished speaking, Banba reached out and pressed the back of my hand. Then, he turned around and pushed the door, hitting the door lock with a click, and then turned back.
"Master, do you have confidence in your heart?"
He didn't seem to know how to speak. He pondered for a long time before continuing: "Now Meng Neng's military power and armaments are in his hands. He was raised by Lao Qiao since he was a child. When Lao Qiao died, I heard The person who gives you the most headache is him..."
"Now, we have to give him all the money on the books. This is equivalent to handing our life into his hands."
"You didn't ask why you need so much money?"
He let go of his hand and stood opposite me.
In the past, Banbula had never questioned any of my decisions, but when he heard these words today, he began to waver.
I took half a step back, sat down on the desk, raised one leg and put the other leg down and asked, "Are you scared?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of if I follow you, but you have to leave everything in Yang Rong's hands, a little bit."
I nodded, at least this was the truth.
"Then do you think, among the current Meng Neng, who can take the risk of taking Yang Rong's place?"
"Are those niggas okay? They have experienced hundreds of battles and are top-notch masters. Whether it is battlefield command or small team raids, they are better than all of us here."
Banbula heard my words and immediately shook his head: "Mercenary, you can't believe it."
"Hey, what about the two newly surrendered officers?"
"General, why can't we observe you for a while?"
"Where is the leader of the Wa tribe? The Yifangtou man has a status in the heart of the Wa tribe and responds to every call."
Banbra still shook his head.
Until I got off the table and tidied my clothes: "I'm okay?"
Banbula was immediately discouraged: "You can't even do it..." He added: "I don't mean anything else..." He only said half of what he said and stopped saying it.
"You can't ask." He figured it out.
They bring their entire Mengniang army and risk their lives in front of them. Why do you ask so many questions when asking for a couple of dollars from you?
He turned around and surrendered directly to the Burmese army. How much money did he ask for, and he was given as much as he wanted? Do you believe it?
If you surrender to Lao Cai, you will gain a lot of money. When the time comes, you will be able to be attacked from both sides!
At the worst, you can still become a king on your own, right?
When people plant flags and drop grass in Mengmao and shout, "I built this mountain and planted this tree," who can do anything to other people's land? Why don't you just turn your back and just earn your own money and spend it yourself?
Are you still asking?
Banbula opened his mouth again: "Master, then this matter is too risky..."
I stretched out my hand and patted Ban Bra's arm hard. I only patted him once with both hands: "I know what you want to say. What if you want to say 'what if'?"
"You want to say this is northern Myanmar, anything can happen here."
"But what I want to tell you is, if this thing happens to you, how about you lead the troops outside to defend the country for me?"
When the sun shines on his face, I can clearly see every expression on his face.
"Go ahead and make some money."
Banbula looked at me for a long time before turning around. I could see from his eyes that he was convinced.
However, if you ask me now if I ever doubted Yang Rong in Meng Neng, I would say, yes!
But I hid my doubts in my heart and threw my worries into the stove, because as long as I discussed this matter with Banbula at this moment, when he works for me again tomorrow, there will be a knot in my heart, and I will I thought, 'Master Xu also doubts me, right?'
It is very likely that this sentence was said by him drunkenly in their private gathering. At that time, this boy would not have said: "Master Xu and I had doubts about Yang Rong." He had to do it for himself. He said calmly: "When Yang Rong was risking his life for Xu Ruifeng in such a dangerous place, didn't he still doubt him?"
understand?
This is not a question of whether there is evidence in hand.
"Master."
The old harrier walked in from the door, holding a mobile phone.
I don't want to see him anymore, as long as he comes there will be no good.
"What happened again?" I asked habitually.
"It's not that something happened this time, it's that Bujea is going to be famous." (End of chapter)
