A large oil tanker explosion occurred in the Sanfu River section of the Mekong River Basin, killing at least 140 people and injuring 80 people. The accident caused the temporary suspension of operations in this section of the river, and Laos and Myanmar announced an investigation.

An armed conflict broke out near Phuoc Son in Wangnam. The conflict caused forest fires, killing at least 70 people and injuring many others. The 756 Brigade of Southern Shan State announced that it was responsible for the incident. It is reported that the armed conflict was part of a special crackdown on cross-border drug trafficking organized by the 756 Brigade. Take action and achieve remarkable results.”

An explosion occurred at Tachileik Lock Pier. The casualties at the scene were unknown. The 505th Brigade claimed that the cause of the accident was improper operation by the armored vehicle driver.

The Tachileik Regina Hotel was attacked, and the third leader of the Golden Triangle Nuokang drug gang was beheaded. People familiar with the matter said it was revenge of a private armed organization, and the motive is unknown.

The 756 Brigade claimed to have evidence related to Myanmar's cooperation with drug traffickers. Myanmar made an urgent statement: It has never cooperated or hindered the anti-drug operations of local armed forces.

The Myanmar side questioned the 756th Brigade's unauthorized entry into the Kengtung garrison area. He Bangxiong responded: not a single shot was fired, and it was a routine exercise.

The situation in Jingdong is tense and the airport is temporarily closed.

The above is the main content of today's Shan State news. I am the host Jiayu. Next, please read the Shan State weather forecast.

In the ward, Chen Chen leisurely drank tea and watched the news from the local TV station in Southern Shan State on TV. However, after looking around, there was actually nothing new.

After all, 29 minutes of the half-hour broadcast are about you.

The only piece of unrelated news is still talking about the issue of strengthening checkpoint control on the Jingdong-Tachilek Highway.

If the host hadn't been so good-looking, he might have just turned off the TV.

However, taking a step back, these news also supplemented the details of the information that he did not have.

The explosion on the river caused more than 140 casualties, which meant that the dense interceptor fleet at that time was basically emptied.

There were more than 70 casualties near Wangnanfu, and about 50 to 60 people were directly killed by the Dongfeng Corps. The rest were really surrounded by fire and burned to death.

The response troops of the 756th Brigade really didn't fire a single shot, they just went to pick up someone.

He Bangxiong has already begun the siege of Jingdong. Under the pressure of the army, Jingdong Airport is closed, and Jiya finally survives again.

He shook his head slightly and adjusted his somewhat stiff sitting posture. Cao Min, the team leader who was waiting aside and responsible for the response operation, immediately came over and helped him adjust the height of the hospital bed with deft hands and feet.

Sir, is this height okay?

His face was full of a dog-legged expression. In fact, such an expression should not appear on the face of a dignified commander, but in fact, from the moment he led the troops out of the woods and saw what he had just experienced, After the Dongfeng Corps fought in the great war, such a dog-legged temperament naturally emerged.

Six people, covered in blood, drank water and ate food.

Although the cavalry was broken and the armor was broken, the momentum of the battlefield was soaring into the sky.

At that moment, Cao Min even believed that if he dared to have the idea of ​​picking fruits and grabbing battle glory, the six people would definitely pick up their guns again and kill all 400 people on his side like tigers rushing into the flock of sheep. Bite to death.

Therefore, he really didn't have any evil intentions at all.

Just following that man's order, he somewhat haphazardly arranged the receiving ships, arranged the passage for rapid evacuation of the wounded, and even arranged the collection of all the loot.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, because he knew very well that his seemingly strong 400 people were actually only assigned to do odd jobs for them.

What else?

I thought it was a big battle, I thought it was a divine force coming to rescue the opponent after they were in crisis, but when our side finally arrived, they had even finished their fucking breakfast!

That's right, breakfast was eaten with dozens of corpses and the smell of the enemy's blood.

With a team like this, just be glad that he didn't target you.

Go against them? Do you think your life is too long?

Can't you see the height of your eyebrows?

Flatter, please hurry up.

What's wrong with doing odd jobs? I'd fucking love to!

——

Of course, his behavior was also questioned by some colleagues, especially when they returned to Mengbin and when he rushed into the hospital with the wounded yelling and screaming, another regiment leader in charge of regional security actually responded with Trying to prevent lightly injured patients from being admitted to the special care ward on the grounds that the ward is full.

Normally, Cao Min might still be able to reason with him.

But at that moment, he was really excited.

You old man.

Don't fucking stop me from progressing!

So, he slapped the man in the face without hesitation, loaded his pistol, and all the guards around him drew their guns and took aim, assuming a posture of risking their lives if they didn't stop him.

The other party was really frightened, and he probably didn't expect the magnitude of the matter this time.

But the order from Brigadier He that came next made the other party dumbfounded.

The security work was temporarily handed over to Cao Min, and all other irrelevant personnel were withdrawn.

what does that mean?

This means that I guessed what Brigadier He was thinking correctly!

With the military order in hand, Cao Min became more and more motivated. He even ordered the hospital to prepare a group of 20 people to serve the Dongfeng Corps.

——

But of course, he still does some personal service work himself.

Only in this way can you show your sincerity.

Is it too much? No face?

If it were before this battle, Cao Min might really feel a little embarrassed.

But after this battle, with his sensitive sense of smell, he had already discovered the key to the problem.

In a sentence: What is a warlord?

Many standards.

Some people have guns, territory, and income, and can compete with all major forces.

But the most important thing is always only one:

Able to fight, able to conquer others through fighting.

Did Dongfeng Corps do it?

Not to mention they did it, they did it very well.

10 people did what hundreds of people could do, and achieved results that have been rare in the 756 Brigade in recent years.

So, the answer is already obvious.

This so-called mercenary group is a new and powerful force on this land.

And it is still a force that does not compete with the original forces for territory, but conquers the world on its own and expands its territory!

Who does not like? Brigadier He doesn't like it?

He loved it!

Originally I just wanted a handle, but now?

The 505th Brigade’s old secrets have all been revealed!

He was crazy with joy. If it hadn't been like this, today's news wouldn't have revolved around the trajectory of the Dongfeng Corps.

Thinking of this, the smile on Cao Min's face became brighter.

Looking at his smiling face, Chen Chen nodded slightly and replied:

The height is okay--you ask someone to help me change the pillow. This pillow is not very comfortable.

Okay! Xiao He, go quickly!

Cao Min's adjutant immediately ran away to find a pillow, while Cao Min, who stayed where he was, continued:

Sir, I have already inquired about the situation with the wounded.

Of the two seriously injured people, one's thigh can't be saved and must be amputated; the other's abdominal cavity was beaten to a mess and he will probably have to recuperate for several months.

The other lightly injured patients have basically no major problems. The bone in the shoulder where the bullet was shot was broken, but it is not serious. The doctor said that it can be restored with autologous bone transplantation, or synthetic materials.

I have asked the doctor to arrange the surgery. It will be done within a few days at the earliest.

You didn't bother.

Chen Chen said sincerely.

He could understand Cao Min's current mood. He felt like he was hugging her!

However, he will not bully others just because of their performance. After all, sometimes, the best situation is when you are good, I am good, and everyone is good.

So, it never hurts to be polite.

Taking credit for yourself? After winning a battle, you go around showing your holiness in front of people?

No need.

As long as you are awesome enough and there are many people bragging about you behind your back, there is no need for you to end up on your own

Looking at Chen Chen's expression and listening to Chen Chen's gentle words, Cao Min couldn't help but feel excited.

This path of progress is finally coming to fruition.

He quickly replied:

It should, it should!

Sir, thank you for your hard work. This night, you have covered all the news in Shan State. It's true, it's true.

Cao Min suddenly didn't know what words to use to describe it, so he had to laugh a few times, but fortunately Chen Chen didn't care and just said modestly:

It's just good luck. Your support was very timely.

Otherwise, if their ground forces react and reorganize their attack, it may be difficult for us to escape.

This is indeed a matter of time difference. Chen Chen didn't mean to compliment him.

Cao Min knew this very well, so he felt more and more comfortable.

What is the demeanor of a general? What does it mean to reward based on merit?

That’s it!

So, without any pretense, he immediately replied:

The main credit belongs to the commander. We just did our part.

It will be good if you can do your job well. I will have a good chat with Brigadier He when the time comes.

Thank you sir!

Cao Min heard the implication of Chen Chen's words, and the ecstasy on his face was not concealed.

——

And just as they were secretly discussing the distribution of benefits from this operation, there was a sudden knock on the door of the ward.

Cao Min looked at Chen Chen, and Chen Chen shouted loudly:

Come in!

He originally thought that the people coming would be doctors and nurses, but he didn't expect that it was He Bangxiong who came in.

Brigadier, might you knock on the door?

Cao Min immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully. He Bangxiong waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say more, and walked to sit in front of Chen Chen.

He picked up the apple on the side and made the same action as his adjutant Zhu Qisheng.

peel.

However, his expression was much kinder than Zhu Qisheng's that day.

Or should I say, much more sincere.

Brother, everything has basically been settled.

The noise you made this time is really big. The explosion on the river was reported everywhere by not only us but also international news.

There are a lot of speculations from all aspects now, and the limelight is very fierce. It may not be suppressed in a short time.

But don't worry, at least in Mengbin, you are safe.

Of course, if you say you want to go back, I can also arrange a car to take you back to Dabang. Your boat happens to be parked near Dabang, so we can drive to Mengka together.

He Bangxiong said your ship instead of our ship, which satisfied Chen Chen.

After fighting such a big battle desperately, if the ship he got back was really going to be confiscated as evidence, then his next target might really be him.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Chen replied:

Then please make arrangements with Brigadier He. Our people still have to return to Mengka.

The situation in Mengbin has been tense recently, and we are not willing to take risks anymore.

understand.

He Bangxiong had already finished peeling the apple. He skillfully cut the pulp into several portions and placed it gently on the table nearby.

I'll prepare the boat and money for you.

In order to show my personal sincerity, on the basis of the original remuneration, I will add another 500,000 US dollars as subsidies for several wounded soldiers and as a pension for brothers who unfortunately died in battle.

However, we may still have to discuss the subsequent allocation.

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of apple and stuffed it into his mouth.

There was a brief silence in the ward, boring advertisements were playing on the TV, and the sound of He Bangxiong's chewing was particularly obvious.

Which area does it mainly refer to?

Chen Chen asked.

The 505th Brigade has compromised. We will reunite and prepare to take Jingdong.

It won't be short, though.

This is not something I need to be involved in, is it?

Chen Chen asked inexplicably.

From what He Bangxiong meant, did he also get a share of the benefits brought about by the civil strife in Southern Shan State?

But the problem is, I have no intention of wanting it at all!

Are you kidding? If you haven't grown up in strength and can't wait to get deeply involved in large-scale conflicts, then you really think you have lived too long.

Are you overestimating me?

Do I look like I can take part in such a large-scale operation now?

I just beat up a drug dealer and killed some of their people.

Although it is indeed a bit much.

But your misunderstanding of me is really profound.

Hearing Chen Chen's words, He Bangxiong's hand that picked up the second piece of apple stopped in the air.

He looked at Chen Chen in astonishment and asked:

You won't participate in the follow-up events?

I won't participate. I have other things to do.

Chen Chen replied decisively.

Now he really has no interest in warlords fighting, because he has already planned everything for the Dongfeng Corps that should be done during the repair period.

The war must continue, but why rush it for a while and why end it personally immediately?

Did the American money come from the war? That was all earned by pouring materials and equipment while others were fighting!

Chaisili wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, can’t he make a fortune himself?

The chaotic situation that was finally stirred up must not be wasted.

As long as there is no conflict in the interests of both parties, we can make a fortune together!

Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.

The wall is now partially built, it's time to stock up on food and guns.

Seeing Chen Chen's determined expression, He Bangxiong suddenly felt at a loss.

He put down the piece of apple sarcastically, looking embarrassed.

At this moment, he felt that his own situation was really small.

Before coming here, I was still thinking about how I could lower the price if the Dongfeng Corps wanted to have a hand in the subsequent distribution of profits, or even kick them out if necessary.

But now, people don't care at all.

There are other things to do.

Just such a simple sentence is enough to explain the problem.

What he wants and what he pursues are probably not on the same path.

After a few seconds of silence, He Bangxiong regained his composure and continued to ask:

So are you going to take some time off?

Yes, there are so many wounded, we can't do anything without rest. Why, does Brigadier He have a new mission?

No, no, your recovery is the most important thing!

He Bangxiong immediately waved his hand and then said:

Then there's nothing more to say. All the trophies we collect will be sent to Mengka later.

Just have a good rest. When we get to Mengka, the equipment should be here.
