On the way back from the village, I finally had a smile on my lips.
Yes, the 'gas tank cannon' that the boy from the Kong family was researching started.
But that thing is not as powerful as I imagined, and it is not as effective as I imagined. It is a bit like throwing an old-fashioned hand grenade into the mountains, or the kind that explodes twice.
But I am still happy, because Yang Rong and Kong Deming have already begun to study the problem of inlaying steel balls on the edge of the 'gas tank' in the village. They want to increase the power by using the explosive ejection damage.
This shows that the power of this 'gas tank cannon' will become more and more powerful with the tinkering of these two people, and maybe it will achieve unexpected results.
I even imagined that one day I would be able to pull the troops down to Bangkang City, and an order to "fire" would be given, and gas tanks would fly into the city.
But before my fantasy was over, the phone rang.
Beep, beep, beep.
It's an unknown number.
I looked outside. Judging from the traffic conditions, we should have just left the 'shielding zone'.
"Hello?"
After I answered the phone, I heard an unfamiliar voice.
"Ade."
He only said two words, but after these two words, his identity and position were all clear.
What surprised me the most was that he would actually call me!
"What's up?"
After saying these three words, I felt that these words were ridiculous, but I really couldn't think of anything to talk about with him.
Ade got straight to the point: "Submit it. Half of the Wa State belongs to you. I promise you that I will not send troops or officials. Everything will be the same as now. For you, it is just a matter of changing the flag. Any more is just a matter of paying some taxes." .”
The first time I came into contact with him, I immediately felt that this person's manner of speaking was "squeaky and crisp", and that feeling of inviolability of superiors made you feel uncomfortable, even if he was already in good shape. Discussed with you.
"Isn't it superfluous?"
I'm happy.
"Isn't it unnecessary for you to say this?"
I continued: "Everyone knows what's going on, so why bother talking to me about it?"
"Even if you say something harsh to me like 'we'll attack the territory tomorrow with troops,' or scare me, that's fine."
Ade was silent for three seconds, and after three seconds: "Fuck, you laid a minefield!"
I just said one more thing, just one more thing!
"Isn't that normal?"
I can only hold on and keep talking.
After saying this, I thought about Ade's thoughts. He must have felt that Meng Neng did not have enough troops now and it was impossible to deploy defenses across the board. The only way to get the news of the enemy's invasion as quickly as possible was to spread the word. Mine area, fixed guard.
It's like radar.
As long as a place is bombed, my people will be able to notify in time. Therefore, I know that he does not have any troops to attack the area. Even if he says this, it is just to scare people.
"Is it embarrassing to surrender to the Eastern Shan State?"
When Ade spoke again, I heard the leisurely and relaxed tone in his words. He was so relaxed that he could even discuss face issues with you.
"Xu Ruifeng, I admire you very much. You don't have to worry about whether you can save your life after surrendering. The magistrate of Mengbo County is the best example. Moreover, you'd better understand that I can say so much to you in a serious and thoughtful way. I hope you can take it seriously when you say that it represents my sincerity. "
I can finally smell the ignition powder.
"Hey, tell me, our two families are fighting so lively, why don't the northern and southern Shan states stop moving and there's no news at all?"
I stabbed it with a knife silently.
"I know what you want to say. You want to say that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind, right?"
"You want to tell me that Thao Yao Shi of Southern Shan State is eyeing Eastern Shan State and may strike at any time, while Northern Shan State has been eyeing the Burmese army and Karen State."
This is a sensible person.
"There's no need to drag me into your web. I'm a very timid person. I'm not afraid of ghosts when walking at night."
When I wanted to use a bigger situation to dunk Ade and dazzle him, I realized that they were not paying attention to me at all.
I have used this trick on Lao Qiao countless times, and I succeeded every time, but this time it didn't work.
Just like what he said, I thought I was a devil who spun webs, but I met a man who was not afraid of ghosts when walking at night. He even thought about putting a talisman on my head and asking me to jump back to the exhibition with him.
How aggrieved would I feel if I didn't say something in return?
"Ade, how are you doing, old man?" I asked like a friend.
"You know my dad?"
"It's not an honor." I responded with a sneer: "Even when we fought last time, the old man left behind a red beret... It's also my fault. I'm young and don't understand the ways of the world. It's not a big deal for me to fight against an old man. So what, I’ll have someone send it back to you another day?”
Toot, toot, toot.
The phone was hung up.
I finally laughed out loud while holding the phone and said, "Not polite."
Of course I knew that Eastern Shan State was plotting against me, but I knew even better that at this time, they did not dare to act rashly.
The reason Ade did not act hastily was probably because he was observing.
He is observing the trends in the northern and southern Shan States, the intentions of the Burmese army, and also observing the international attitude towards the war between the eastern Shan State and the Wa State. Do you have to talk about it? What is there to be anxious about?
But, even so, when these words came out of my mouth, Ade still didn't put his foot in the whole set at all. Even if what I said was what he thought, he would never be affected by me in the slightest.
Could it be that this is the son raised by Lin Minxian?
His son is still like this. If this was Lin Minxian back then, what kind of heroism would he have become?
There is also Shao Yaoshi, who always likes to appear in front of the media, and Bampa from Northern Shan State. Those who can stand in such an environment must not be able to stand up to ordinary guns, right? I actually felt a little proud in my heart. I didn’t expect that one day I would be able to be on the same stage as them. The only difference is that our capital here is thinner, while others’ capital is thicker, but we are not in the same place. What about the countertop?
Thinking of this, all the pressure on my body disappeared. In northern Myanmar, I am the only one who can sit on an equal footing with the leaders of all states in one county... This life is worth it.
It’s been almost two years since I arrived in northern Myanmar, and it’s been almost two years since I arrived in northern Myanmar, and I finally have a sense of life.
The car slowly drove into Menneng. At this time, I lowered the car window and completely relaxed my spirit for the first time and felt the air of Southeast Asia, the air that belonged to me.
It's a feeling that times have changed. Even if you still face danger, it's already tens of millions of times better than when you were a dog pusher in the park.
And just when I was sighing in my heart, wanting to secretly have a laugh in a place where no one knew, the pickup truck happened to pass by the door of the 'Night Show', and I watched a drunken figure, surrounded by several green-skinned soldiers. Under escort, he stumbled out from inside.
It's Brea.
"No one can fucking help me!"
"Let me see if any of you dare to move!"
He yelled and cursed, and when a green soldier wanted to get closer, he stretched out his hand and pretended to hit them.
Then who dares to help?
"parking."
The driver stopped the car in front of the 'Night Show'. After I got out of the car, Burea was about to fall down, so I grabbed his armpits and lifted him up.
Only then did Burea turn around, look at me with eyes that were so drunk that he was so drunk, and laughed stupidly: "Brother~hehehe... I'm fine, brother, really, I'm fine."
"I know." I could only deal with it and help the person towards the pickup truck.
"You know~ why are you still supporting me~"
At this time, Burea probably didn't know what he was talking about.
I could only say, "Don't you have a family? I'll help you go home."
"Me? Do I have a family?" Boureat asked, pointing to his nose.
"Yes, brother's home is your home!"
At that second, the drunken Boureia stopped struggling and allowed me to drag him. He didn’t even make a sound when he was bumped, and was thrown into the back seat of the pickup truck by me.
When I returned to the passenger seat, I just said to the driver: "Go back to the villa."
Bure'a said in a loud voice: "Brother!"
"The feeling of having someone take you home when you're drunk... it's so damn good... it's... it's so damn good..."
I think what he wants to say is: "It feels so damn good to have someone in charge." (End of Chapter)
