Myanmar.
Yangon.
Presidential office.
The old man was listening to the Intelligence Department leader’s personal report. If this person weren’t his trusted aide who had followed him for many years, he would have been dismissed because of the events of the last few days.
Such crucial information, the others had finished, and you were only reporting now because someone else took the initiative to tell you. This is a huge blow to our face. Every year we invest so much money into cultivating spies, yet they don’t serve any purpose, isn’t this bloody infuriating?
"...The same message came from five major confrontation points. Su Yu and Ling have completed the handover and rotation. Even the guards that used to belong to Su Yu were withdrawn, now it’s all Ling’s soldiers. In other words, Ling has completely taken over the forces that were previously under Su Yu." The person in charge reported with a nervous expression.
"Didn’t anyone disagree?" the old man frowned.
Just how long did it take? Ling had only been here for one day and had completely taken over Su Yu’s command. They thought negotiations would take longer.
The person in charge shook his head, "No, I guess Ling has bought over Su Yu’s people, promising them many benefits. We don’t know the exact benefits yet. Mister President, Ling is currently at Su Yu’s residence, should we do something?"
The occasion where two big BOSS gather isn’t common. If they had to make a move, they could only send an aircraft. This is because Su Yu’s residence was more than 30 kilometers from the confrontation zone. Their cannons could not reach, and they lacked any weapon that could.
"No, we will wait for Ling. I believe he will uphold his promise. I think he will give a reason I can’t refuse. Hmph, I won’t submit. I won’t accept any condition if I can’t refuse." the old man coldly snorted.
"Yes." the person in charge echoed.
"Have we figured out who sold the anti-control weapons to Ling? And how many does he have?" The old man asked again. Anti-control weapons are strictly prohibited by all countries. Especially shoulder-mounted ground control weapons, even major arms dealers dare not sell them indiscriminately.
These aren’t like guns and cannons, they can seriously affect airspace safety.
Don’t forget, civilian planes also go through low-altitude flight. If these fell into the wrong hands, it could be a serious problem. So they must be strictly controlled. Arms dealers dare not easily sell them to troublesome people.
Of course.
There are always some exceptions to the rules.
The person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly said, "No, Ling’s weapon source is mysterious. We couldn’t find any clues. Also, through telescopes in the confrontation zone, we noticed that they have a large number of unified military green vehicle equipment. It looks quite new.
The soldiers’ individual equipment is even better than ours..." He didn’t continue this sentence. He just received information via the confrontation zone. Their soldier’s equipment can only be described as rudimentary and minimalistic, slightly better than the African countries.
"Can you tell where these equipment originated from?" the old man asked again.
"Well, Mister President, the pictures haven’t been sent back yet. But there are various pieces of equipment from different countries, yet they’re not completely the same. We need to study it once the pictures arrive." the person in charge grew nervous again.
After hearing those words, the old man wanted to strangle the guy before him. You, who collect intelligence and whose subordinates come into contact with weapons, are telling me that you can’t identify the origin of these weapons; are you sure you’re not messing with me?
Could it be that Ling can design and manufacture his own weapons?
The old man was completely helpless.
His team.
Their IQ seems to drop during crucial moments.
But the old man had his guesses. These weapons definitely didn’t originate from Naidan and Su Yu. He knew how much power Naidan has.
Could it be Thailand? But Thailand wouldn’t have any reason to sell those types of equipment. It also can’t be Laos. That nation is poorer and more backward than ours. Moreover, they didn’t share a border with Ling previously. Huaxia is the same, they didn’t border Ling’s territory before. It’s really strange.
"Hmm, continue monitoring and report to me when there are results. You can go out first." The old man rubbed his head. After all this, they still couldn’t figure out whose weapons were being used. He thought that perhaps this person in charge should be replaced.
"Yes." The person in charge carefully left.
He was frustrated. After all, his subordinates weren’t up to the task. What could he do about it? Every spy sent in was captured, the assassins too. They were in the dark. Except for Ge Dan, but Ge Dan was confined near Xin’an Town, and wasn’t even allowed to take a few steps into Industrial Town.
What could he do?
He was desperate too.
He is merely a person sitting behind the scenes. Damn it, it looks like he’ll have to train those guys when he gets back. They fancy themselves as elites, masters. Bullshit! If anyone dares to show off, he’ll send them over to Ling’s side.
After the person in charge left.
The old man leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.
"Where did their weapons and equipment come from? They aren’t close to the sea, and land transport is impossible..." the old man mumbled to himself.
They couldn’t possibly have made them themselves, right?
That thought appeared in his mind again.
The old man shook his head vigorously. How could that be possible? Did they actually make their own weapons? It’s not like the military-industrial sector is a simple field. Even Myanmar couldn’t manufacture any heavy equipment. He would rather believe that Ling’s vehicle equipment was assembled from purchased parts.
Otherwise, there’s no explanation.
Thinking of Ling.
The old man had a headache again. There has never been a peaceful moment within Myanmar. Shan State and Kachin State had always been thorns in his side, problems in his heart. They were obstacles hindering the unity of Myanmar, and now a Ling has appeared as well.
Compared to the rest, Ling was actually better, at least he was uncooperative, and had not yet thought of leaving Myanmar.
Those two regions are always thinking about seeking autonomy, and even one of them is thinking of founding a country, which are troublesome matters. Remembering the bold words he had just said, that he would deal with Ling in such and such a way, the old man wavered a bit every time he thought of these two regions.
He was just saying it to his subordinates, being the chief of Myanmar, of course, he has to be tough. But saying and doing are two different things. National affairs are not child’s play. For a politician, lies and attitudes are equally important.
If Ling and these two regions form an alliance.
Myanmar will have another big trouble.
In the past, Su Yu and the others were just farmers, they didn’t do anything bad, they didn’t involve the upper echelons of power in Myanmar, and they didn’t have that ambition, so they were always treated as hypothetical enemies.
Since the other two regions have credentials and are regarded as ’our own people’, he could only let Su Yu’s side remind his subordinates that Myanmar has many problems. This is also a strategy of stationing troops here to guard against the Shan State in the north.
Now the situation is clear on Su Yu’s side. If Ling and the other two also form an alliance, that would indeed be a big trouble. The old man even misses Su Yu’s days a bit, at least he didn’t have that many power demands, but Ling seems to be different.
He has a feeling.
Ling could very likely be a key weight to break the balance of the two states, but whether he can be used for his own purposes is still unknown. Everyone is not a fool. Who would do anything without benefits?
The old man was hesitating about whether to give Ling some benefits in the future and let him stand on his side. After all, Ling’s idea is to develop the economy, improve people’s livelihood, and advocate technology. Although he is a bit disobedient, he is still much more likable than the other two.
The old man was torn for a moment.
Headache.
He picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of ginseng tea to calm his throbbing headache. Managing a country is really difficult, especially when there are many unruly fellows, it’s even more difficult.
Let’s wait until Ling comes, and see what his conditions are. If he really teams up with the other two sides and wants to split Myanmar, he will absolutely destroy Ling at any cost.
What the old man didn’t realize is
In the matter regarding Ling
His bottom line was getting lower and lower.
......
Thailand.
Bangkok.
Tang Kai had sent his wife and daughter back to China a few days ago. After they left, the villa felt deserted. Although only two people were missing, he felt as if he had lost half the world.
It’s better to live with family.
Fortunately, there is Sky Eye. After attending Chai Ren’s wedding in Beijing a few days later, he will go back to Qingyan City to live for a while. He can manage the company remotely. For this, Sky Eye has already installed a complete set of video conference systems here, which is very convenient.
Looking at the company’s reports for this period, Tang Kai is very satisfied, all kinds of businesses are thriving.
Just as he was sighing, his phone rang.
"Boss Tang, congratulations. Your business will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai in the future." The loud voice of Wangsa came over. There was no way around it, Wangsa wasn’t just idle and muddling about, he had other matters to discuss with Tang Kai.
"Congratulations on what?" Tang Kai asked with a smile.
He was used to Wangsa’s big mouth. This wasn’t bad, he heard a lot of important news from Wangsa. If Wangsa said it was good, then it must be good news. Only this time, his curiosity was not at its strongest.
"About Ling’s thing, about your jewelry business, it is best to go to Ling to establish a relationship and enhance the feelings in a while. Your position in the industry will definitely be stable in the future." Wangsa suggested.
"Just tell me what happened. What has Leader Ling done again?" Tang Kai said helplessly. In fact, he could guess what Wangsa wanted to say from the news reported by his staff in his territory. Ling had seized the territories of many forces around him, the control area was the largest ever.
This is definitely good news for him,
but he couldn’t dampen Wangsa’s enthusiasm either.
Chatting.
Especially chatting with people who have important news, even if you know, you have to pretend not to know, so as not to discourage others from coming to ’shoot the breeze’ next time.
This would be a great loss.
It’s thoroughly good advice.
"Hehe, you didn’t expect this, did you? Ling has now taken all the territories from him to Su Yu, including the leader Su Yu who has also succumbed to Ling. Given the size of the interest at hand, considering you’re the exclusive supplier of gems and jewellery to Ling, undefined by the way, you’re buying dinner." Wangsa chuckled.
A few days ago, when he went to ask Ling, Ling said that he had taken Su Yu’s territory, but Ling reminded him not to talk about it because it had not been handed over yet. So these days, only he and his family knew about this matter. The ordinary people in the territory only thought that Ling had taken the territories of those ’fence sitters’.
Now.
Ling has truly become the second largest force in Myanmar.
As for the various warlords in Shan State and Kachin State, they are still officially Myanmar people and have a title. But having integrated the soldiers and population under Su Yu, even if they are added, Ling is unquestionably the second-largest power.
