Mengkha is not a small village.

In fact, Mongkha is an important city and an important stronghold in Shan State Special Administrative Region.

It is located at the junction of Shan State and Wa State, with Mengbao to the north, Mengyang to the east, and Kengtung to the south. Kengtung is the last pass for northern Myanmar to enter the core area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

Among them, Mengyang is under the jurisdiction of the Wa State 468 Brigade and is Li Aishu's territory.

Mengbao belongs to the 418th Brigade and has the 917th Detachment under its jurisdiction. It is the core defensive force of Bangkang. The brigade commander is Bao Yongzhen, a close confidant of Commander Bao.

Jingdong is controlled by the Burmese ZF army, but their penetration range is not just Jingdong. Their combat battalions and special operations forces are deployed in all surrounding areas. They even established a permanent military camp near Monkha.

As for Monkha itself, it falls under the jurisdiction of the 7th Brigade of Northern Shan State, but it does not only belong to the Shan State Allied Forces, because it is also within the sphere of influence of the northern Mofa Militia Group.

To put it simply, this is a land of four wars. However, precisely because of its special geographical location, it has achieved a delicate balance between various forces and has become the key to the transportation of freight and people in the entire northern Myanmar region. Transfer station.

As we all know, as long as it is a hub area, there will definitely be chaos.

Not to mention, what is being transported here are illegal items that must not be left on paper.

Therefore, although Mengkha is not as notorious for electronic fraud as Miaowadi and Kokang in later generations, the level of chaos under its calm waters is definitely not comparable to other places.

But Chen Chen is not afraid of chaos, because chaos is their best cover.

After spending three full days, crossing a straight line distance of 200 kilometers, and changing to various means of transportation, Chen Chen finally arrived in Mengka with three teammates.

They took off their courageous military uniforms, put on the T-shirts and trousers prepared on the road, wrapped the too conspicuous SVD with cloth, carried the 81 strips on their backs that fit their status, and checked into an inconspicuous hotel.

There are two rooms, two people per room, just taking turns to be on guard.

He hid the two SVDs and extra equipment that were temporarily unused under the bed - of course this was not completely safe, but there was no better way at the moment.

Fortunately, the Northern Shan State Army's military control in Monkha is very tough. The security brigade patrols everywhere, and almost all hotels are the property of the Military Control Committee, so there is no need to worry too much about being stolen or robbed.

As for being discovered by room service staff?

Stop talking nonsense, there is no such thing in a shabby hotel that costs 50 RMB a night.

After everything was settled, Chen Chen summoned everyone and gathered in his room for a meeting.

After several days of running around, Chen Chen already had a basic understanding of the others. Needless to say, apart from Shi Dakai, the other two comrades were named Li Bang and Bao Qi.

Li Bang is a short, dark-skinned man who has just turned 20 this year. Like Chen Chen, he joined the Kokang Alliance just for a bite to eat.

Bao Qi respects his father's wishes - in 1984, his father worked with Bao Youxiang in the National Democratic Front. In his heart, he always felt that the Kokang and the Wa were just brothers fighting against each other. He also looked forward to one day recreating the glory of northern Myanmar. Therefore, he has a very firm attitude towards his son joining the army.

This background has also created a gap in military quality between the Li Gang and Bao Qi. If the Li Gang is really better than the monkeys who can shoot, and survival is purely luck, then Bao Qi at least still has some ability. of.

At least he knew how to lie down and find cover when the opponent concentrated his fire.

Are we really going to be mercenaries?

Before Chen Chen could speak, Shi Dakai asked first.

He has always had doubts about the mercenaries thing, thinking that those people were thugs who couldn't stand up to the stage.

But Chen Chen didn't think so.

It's as if the Kokang Allied Forces are not mercenaries.

Without formal military training, working for a salary, being thrown on the battlefield if you know how to shoot, isn't this the lowest level of cannon fodder mercenary?

Instead of fighting them, it's better to fight the rich boss.

If he can become famous, make enough money and establish a good identity in the future, he will have the opportunity to completely escape this chaotic northern Myanmar and return to his true motherland.

Therefore, he replied firmly:

Yes, going.

There must be a way to get there. Should we just go to the street and ask?

Besides, people don't necessarily want us. We are.

Shi Dakai did not finish what he said, but everyone understood that what he wanted to say was We will never fight in the first place.

Chen Chen sighed and explained:

It doesn't matter whether you know how to fight or not. Mengkha is full of large and small gun groups. As long as you have a gun, it's not difficult to make a living by following them.

Besides, fighting here is not necessarily more dangerous than Kokang. At least we can choose our own tasks.

Can you still choose?

Shi Dakai was shocked.

Yes, some of the large gun groups here have a lot of resources. They will receive various tasks. Some tasks are not cost-effective for them, so they will be subcontracted to smaller gun groups.

Like Wood Ghost, you know, right?

The largest gun regiment in Mengka is mainly composed of the Mongolian and Thai troops of the former Kunsha. After being dispersed by the Wa State, they came over from the Daduan River and established the Mugui Spear Regiment.

Mugui has developed very well in the past few years. It has opened up relationships with the military in Northern Shan State and has begun to slowly transform from a mercenary group to a PMC. It is now called Wanfeng Group and is mainly engaged in security and freight business, so some small tasks , they don’t do much.”

This is our opportunity. As long as we can pass their assessment, take on one or two missions, and survive, we will be able to gain a foothold in Mengka.

Hearing his words, Li Bang and Bao Qi nodded together.

I think it's feasible!

I also think it's feasible. Fight a war and make some money. At least it's better than the Allied Forces!

They were simple-minded. When Chen Chen said it was profitable, they stopped thinking too much.

But Shi Dakai is different. Although he is cowardly and sometimes stupid, he is definitely not stupid.

He looked at Chen Chen with scrutinizing eyes and asked tentatively:

How do you know these things?

How do I know?

Chen Chen sighed.

I can't tell you that I accidentally saw this information from the intelligence when I participated in the four-nation joint operation in my previous life, right?

Shi Dakai obviously didn't need to know this.

So, Chen Chen simply replied:

“Go online more and read more news, there’s everything there!”

Shi Dakai opened his mouth wide.

ah? Read news online?

Well, maybe you should try it?

After dispelling the doubts of several people, Chen Chen was not willing to waste any more time.

After all, they don't have much money in hand. The four of them add up to more than 6,000 RMB, which really can't last long.

I need to find money quickly.

Stop talking so much, we will go to Mugui later and talk to their people first.

Maybe we are lucky enough to go today and get the mission today?
