Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

On Zhang Hao's side, he also chatted with Feng Guohai about the warlord issue in northern Myanmar.

Feng Guohai took the opportunity to put forward a bold idea:
"Consul, we only have one garrison base in Myanmar, and the number of troops is less than 3000. With this strength alone, it is impossible to eliminate those warlords.

Therefore, I would like to ask you and your wife to stay for a while longer, and then let the escort navy cooperate with us to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of warlords in northern Myanmar in one go. "

It's not that they can't fight, but that the number of troops is a bit small, and it is impossible to achieve a quick battle. Once caught in the quagmire of war, the consequences are really unpredictable.

Zhang Hao didn't want to cause trouble, so he tried to decline politely: "Isn't it okay after a while? I'll ask the military to send a special anti-terrorist commando over."

Everything is just in case. If the action fails, he, the consul, will be held accountable. He has no interests in Myanmar, so there is no need to take risks.

"Consul, it's not that I'm messing around, I really can't do it!" Feng Guohai shook his head again and again, and then explained: "Obviously, the warlords in northern Myanmar are still waiting to see, and once the news of Deqin's death reaches northern Myanmar, those warlords will absolutely They won't sit still, they will hide in the mountains, and it will be difficult to eliminate them."

In fact, what he is most worried about is that the warlords take the opportunity to transfer their property. After all, Myanmar is next door to the Indian Peninsula. If the warlords escape, it will be too late.

Zhang Hao frowned when he heard the words, and what the other party said was indeed reasonable, which made him very embarrassed.

Help, afraid of taking risks.

Don't help, it seems too unreasonable.

Feng Guohai saw the hesitation of the big leaders, so he went further to persuade: "Consul, we have placed many undercover agents in the north, and also instigated some high-level personnel. I believe that as soon as the army arrives, those warlords will collapse immediately. And down."

"sure?"

Zhang Hao repeatedly confirmed.

With the extreme night and the mountainous environment, even if those warlords are weak, they are not defenseless, and once they underestimate the enemy, they will be greeted with a Waterloo, so he has to be cautious.

Feng Guohai nodded solemnly, and put his whole body on the line: "Consul, I guarantee my personality."

"How many warlords are there in total in northern Myanmar?"

Zhang Hao was still a little worried.

"There are more than a dozen large and small branches, and the total number of people is more than 3. Even if the number of temporary Latin men is included, it will not exceed 5 at most."

Feng Guohai said confidently.

Zhang Hao secretly calculated that the escort fleet, excluding the Marine Corps, could barely make up 1 people, plus the garrison base and police officers in Yangon, it would be more than 5000 people.

Fifteen thousand versus thirty thousand?
One to two?

In general, as long as luck is not too bad, victory is a certainty.

The most important thing is that our side is full of well-trained regular troops, and they are armed to the teeth. On the contrary, those local warlords are not much better than gangsters.

Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind.

"When are you going to start?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, no more than a week at the latest, otherwise it will change."

"Okay! I'll call Commander Zhu in person later and ask him to come over quickly. Let's have a meeting together tonight to formulate a specific action plan." Zhang Hao ordered.

"Great, thank you Consul!"

Feng Guohai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Hao waved his hand: "You're welcome. Anyway, Myanmar is also a part of the Federation. If there are difficulties in the local area, as a consul, you can't stand by and watch, right?"

"Having said that, when encountering such a situation, most people will choose to be wise and protect themselves without exception. It is too rare to see someone as selfless as you, Consul."

Feng Guohai complimented half-truthfully.

Zhang Hao waved his hand slightly, apparently not taking the other party's compliment to heart.

……

After the welcome luncheon, Yang Haoxuan immediately found his brother-in-law and told them the "truth about northern Myanmar" one by one.

Zhang Hao was not particularly surprised. The chat with Mayor Feng just now had given him some guesses, and now the truth has finally come to light.

"Mayor Feng is also too courageous. In my opinion, the head of the Deqin warlord should just want to see you, brother-in-law, and has no intention of holding hostages to negotiate. This is obviously illogical." Yang Haoxuan couldn't help feeling emotional.

"What's not logical?"

Zhang Hao asked with interest.

"It's not clear, the consequences of kidnapping the people are too bad, it is tantamount to cutting off the way out, and the contact between the two sides has not even started, how could it be so irrational?

The truth of the matter should be like this, that Deqin probably heard the news of the great development in Southeast Asia and knew that the direction of the wind had changed, so he wanted to accept Zhao'an.

Mayor Feng was greedy for the property of those warlords, and didn't want them to go ashore for nothing, so before the meeting, he made a sudden attack and wiped out Deqin and his party, directly cutting off their possibility of "Zhao'an". "

Yang Haoxuan analyzed in detail.

Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Your boy has grown a lot recently. This analysis is well-founded. Even if it's not true, it's not far from the truth. Those warlords in northern Myanmar really don't have the guts to challenge the authorities."

"Brother-in-law, tell me, is Mayor Feng's approach a reckless disregard for human life?"

"Forget it, but there are extenuating circumstances."

Zhang Hao said without hesitation.

Yang Haoxuan was full of doubts: "Where is the excuse?"

"The central government is really short of money, and it has limited support for the 'Southeast Asia Development', especially for remote areas like Myanmar, which is even more difficult to take care of.

Mayor Feng did not wait or rely, and carried forward the spirit of subjective initiative and self-reliance. Even if the central government does not support his approach, it should not be completely rejected.

Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, as a federal consul, I hope that there will be a few more local officials like Mayor Feng, which can greatly reduce the burden on the central government. "

Zhang Hao explained patiently.

"Well, it seems that I am too naive. To be an official, you must have a black heart first."

Yang Haoxuan's words were extreme.

Without warning, Zhang Hao suddenly raised his hand and patted his brother-in-law on the back of the head: "What is a black heart? Don't sit on your butt, kid? Those warlords are our enemies, and we can't use any means to deal with them too much."

"Brother-in-law, what you said is just deceiving the ignorant people. If there was no official acquiescence, or even secret support, those warlords would have been eliminated long ago."

Yang Haoxuan couldn't help curling his lips.

"Okay, stay where it's cool, and don't make trouble for me here."

Zhang Hao waved his hand, turned around and wanted to leave.

He is busy and has no time to chat with his brother-in-law.

Yang Haoxuan quickly grabbed the other party: "Brother-in-law, I haven't finished talking yet? Mayor Feng's nephew is the Cucumber Gua I just told you about. He wants to take a stake in my cotton planting factory. What's the matter?"

"How much is he going to invest?"

Zhang Hao immediately paid attention to it.

"I didn't say the specifics, but the amount should be quite a lot, at least a few hundred million." Yang Haoxuan replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately came to a conclusion: "It's obvious that Mayor Feng wants to win us over."

"Then shall we accept it?"

"If it's a normal business cooperation, there's no problem. If he wants to take the opportunity to send you money and bribe me, we have to refuse anyway."

Yang Haoxuan raised his eyebrows: "Brother-in-law, a rich man like you, who would bribe you?"

"Who would think too much money? Besides, isn't there you? Relatives are also effective."

"Then I refused?"

"Don't, it's not urgent anyway, let's talk about it slowly." Zhang Hao shook his head, and then said: "Sometimes attitude is very important, no matter whether the cooperation can be successful or not, you can't refuse it as soon as it comes up. It feels like thousands of miles away, you kid still has a lot to learn."

"ok, I get it."

Yang Haoxuan nodded seriously.

……

In the afternoon, Zhang Hao took his wife for a brief tour of downtown Yangon, mainly visiting hospitals, schools, welfare homes and other non-profit organizations.

That night, in the meeting room of the guest house.

A group of high-level officials from Myanmar State, the main leaders of the escort fleet, plus Zhang Hao and several senior staff members gathered together.

Zhang Hao first explained the theme of this meeting.

And emphasized the principle of confidentiality.

As soon as the Consul finished speaking, Commander Zhu of the escort fleet immediately expressed his concerns. Their job was to protect the safety of the Consul and the inspection team, and they didn't want to be involved in irrelevant incidents.

The reason is simple. Every time the navy loses a soldier, it needs hundreds of thousands of pensions. This is unacceptable at a time when military expenditures are becoming increasingly tight.

Zhang Hao didn't directly issue an order, he was able to convene this meeting, which was already very face-saving. As for whether he could persuade Commander Zhu, this was something Feng Guohai needed to consider, and it had little to do with him.

In fact, the implication is that if the Burmese government wants to eat meat, it has to let the Ministry of the Navy have a drink of soup. As long as the Ministry of the Navy agrees, he doesn't mind a smooth sailing.

This is also the result of his discussions with the Admiralty.

Feng Guohai didn't drag his feet, and immediately gave his own conditions: "Commander Zhu, I don't want to hide it from you. Those warlords in northern Myanmar have oil wells and mines. They have accumulated a lot of money over the years. As long as you are willing to help, we will finally reap the rewards." Fifty-fifty."

The reason why he gave up such a huge benefit was that he had no choice but to do so. Without the active cooperation of the military, they really might not be able to get the property of the warlords.

Commander Zhu didn't blindly agree, although the distribution ratio has exceeded psychological expectations.

"Mayor Feng, can I ask a question first?"

"Please ask."

"How much property do those warlords in northern Myanmar have? Can you give me a specific figure?"

Feng Guohai extended a slap on the spot: "According to my various investigations, it should not be less than this number."

"50 billion?"

"Commander Zhu, you underestimate those warlords too much, you need to add a zero after that."

"500 billion? There are so many?"

Commander Zhu couldn't help but exclaimed.

You know, the military's annual military expenditure is only a little over one trillion yuan, and the navy accounts for one-third, which is less than 500 billion yuan, and 500 billion yuan is almost 15.00%, which is already very impressive.

Zhang Hao was equally astonished, he had never thought that these warlords would be so rich, and it was no wonder that Mayor Feng was willing to risk the world's displeasure and tried his best to provoke a war.

Feng Guohai nodded to Director Wang of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the other party immediately took out a large stack of documents and distributed a copy to everyone in the conference room.

"Consul, everyone, this is the relevant evidence collected by our side. You can take a look. The warlords in northern Myanmar are smarter than we imagined. They secretly smuggled some resources to the Indian peninsula, which is why they have accumulated so much. wealth."

"Mayor Feng, is this document authentic?"

Zhang Hao asked.

"It's true." Feng Guohai said solemnly.

Zhang Hao immediately winked at Commander Zhu and nodded slightly.

After Commander Zhu received the instruction, he immediately said loudly: "Mayor Feng, the Ministry of the Navy will do our part in this task."

"Okay, Commander Zhu, how many people can you send here? When will it be ready at the earliest?"

Feng Guohai said impatiently.

"Our fleet can have a maximum of 1 people, and the assembly will be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest."

The Marine Corps cannot move. It needs to protect the consul and the inspection team closely. It is also to prevent the warlords in northern Myanmar from jumping over the wall and attacking Yangon.

Who knows, if there are any backhands left by the warlords in Yangon, there are some things that have to be guarded against.

Feng Guohai patted the table excitedly: "Okay, then we will set off the day after tomorrow. This matter cannot be delayed, the sooner the better, so as not to leak the news."

Next, everyone discussed specific action plans.

In the end, according to the content of the plan, except for Navy One and the two frigates, the other warships immediately went north to completely block the east coast of the Bay of Bengal to prevent the warlords in northern Myanmar from smuggling ships and fleeing to the Indian peninsula.

As for the ground operation, it began in the early morning of April 4. There was no other reason for choosing this time period, mainly for confidentiality.

……

Time turned and soon it was time for departure.

Accompanied by Feng Guohai and others, Zhang Hao personally came to the train station and officially issued an action order to all military personnel participating in the anti-terrorism operation.

In addition, he also gave this operation a resounding code name: Spring Thunder Operation.

After the order was issued, all personnel began to board the train in an orderly manner. This train can reach Mandalay as far as possible. The next journey is not very optimistic. They can only rely on transport vehicles or simply walk.

This is due to Feng Guohai's temporary emergency repairs to the railway line in advance, otherwise the terminal can only be Nay Pyi Taw, and one more step will not work.

Leaving the train station and returning to the guest house, it was already past two o'clock at night.

Zhang Hao found that his wife was still up, so he quickly asked concerned: "Why are you still up so late? Didn't I tell you everything, don't wait for me."

Yang Huaqing poured a glass of water for her husband, and explained casually: "I slept too much in the afternoon, and I can't sleep at night. I just have something I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Zhang Hao took the water glass and took a big sip of water.

"You still have to stay here for at least half a month. The time is too long. In addition, my mother is pressing hard. I want to take Haoxuan and Nana back first."

Yang Huaqing expressed her plan.

It was originally agreed to separate in the Strait of Malacca. In this situation, we can only choose to advance.

Despite Zhang Hao's reluctance, he still nodded: "Okay, I agree. It's only natural for a mother-in-law to want a grandson. When are you going to leave?"

"The day after tomorrow, there happens to be a passenger ship going to the capital the day after tomorrow." Yang Huaqing replied.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll ask Assistant Wei to book your boat tickets, at least a luxurious private room."

Zhang Hao nodded.

Yang Huaqing sighed, and then said: "I asked someone from the Secret Service to help you find a life secretary. I can rest assured that someone will take care of you."

"No need, Assistant Wei is enough."

Zhang Hao waved his hands again and again.

Originally, the consul had a personal secretary, and there were more than one, but after Zhang Hao took office, in order to avoid his wife's jealousy, and because he had to travel far as soon as he took office, he did not have a personal secretary for the time being.

Yang Huaqing said helplessly: "Assistant Wei is a big man after all, he is not as careful as a woman, and he also has his own job, so he should be equipped with a life secretary!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat?" Zhang Hao raised his lips slightly.

There is nothing new about the consul, and his daily life is full of all kinds of sex news. It was only after Ji Zhangqiu came to power that this trend was completely reversed.

Yang Huaqing said unhappily: "You think too much, the life secretary I found for you is almost 50 years old, if you have the ability, just flirt."

"Cough cough..."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
