Chapter 2472 Youth Army
Who knew that just after he finished speaking, Liu Ling looked at him sharply and asked:
"Can you contact Liu Zhen and the others?"
Peng Chengren thought for a while before he realized who Liu Ling was talking about. This guy was the youngest son of Liu Kuisheng, once Peng Jinsheng's most capable subordinate. He was unmatched in brute force and was a leader among the younger generation of Kokang people.
Liu Kuisheng's departure from the Kokang Allied Army was the result of Peng Jinsheng's compromise. However, Liu Kuisheng is now over 50 years old. Even if he doesn't leave, he will retire.
Peng Chengren didn't know why his sister-in-law contacted this young man? Shouldn't she contact Liu Kuisheng?
But after thinking about it, he nodded: "I'll ask his father. I don't have his contact information."
The call was quickly connected, and Liu Kuisheng's tone was very indifferent. He was very emotional when he left him. He felt that Peng Jinsheng had abandoned all his brothers for his own future, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.
So, like his old brothers, he has not been in contact with Peng Jinsheng for these years. This is also a silent protest.
When he heard that Liu Ling was looking for his son, Liu Kuisheng did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he told him the phone number very readily and instructed:
"Let Xiaoer come home. I haven't seen her for many years."
Peng Chengren agreed casually. Whether to go or not to tell Liu Ling, he was only responsible for notifying. And he was very reluctant to offend Liu Kuisheng.
After telling Liu Ling the phone number, Liu Ling did not delay. After asking for the address of the Liu family, he said goodbye to Peng Chengren and said he was going there.
The Liu family lived in a luxurious house in the old street. Although the house was built of wood and bamboo, it occupied a large area. It was obvious that it was not comparable to ordinary families.
Liu Ling brought some gifts back this time, mainly wine and water. She understood that people here have a hometown sentiment. And the old Liu family is from Sichuan, and they are from the same hometown as her.
Of course, neither Liu Kuisheng nor Liu Zhen has ever returned to their hometown.
It's not that they don't want to go back, but they can't go back. How can people who don't even have an ID card go through the procedures for going abroad?
In fact, this is also a shame for generations of Kokang people. This country discriminates against them. Although they are Burmese, they can't even go to the capital of their own country, let alone go abroad. Which sovereign country would treat its own people like this?
This is why there are 136 ethnic groups in this country, but there are 135 anti-government armed forces.
Liu Kuisheng has a dark square face. He is not tall, but has a thick frame. Although he is over 50 years old this year, he is very strong.
Seeing Liu Ling coming in, Liu Kuisheng immediately showed a kind smile on his face. He stood up and saluted, which scared Liu Ling.
Everyone who has been following Peng Jinsheng knows Liu Ling. Almost everyone has held her when she was a child. She is everyone's princess and everyone's pride. So Liu Kuisheng would salute involuntarily when he saw her, but now he won't salute when he sees Peng Jinsheng.
Liu Ling complained angrily: "Uncle Liu, what are you doing? I am your junior, I should be the one to pay my respects."
Liu Kuisheng smiled and said, "If it were in the past, I would be your family general, but your father doesn't want us anymore. Although we don't recognize him, we still recognize you. You are the princess of all of us!"
Liu Ling quickly bowed deeply: "Thank you, Uncle Liu, no matter what your relationship with my father is, you are also my elder."
Liu Ling's words made Liu Kuisheng, a rough man, blush with excitement, as if he didn't know what to say?
Just at this time, Liu Zhen came back, followed by several young men, all carrying guns. Seeing Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then excitedly shouted:
"Ling Xiao, you are back?"
Liu Kuisheng kicked over: "Call me Miss, did you call me Ling Xiao?"
Liu Ling was about to stop him, but was stopped by Liu Kuisheng, "Miss, don't worry about these things, our tribe has respect and inferiority, otherwise it will be completely chaotic."
Liu Zhen has a face like his father. If it weren't for his smoother skin, he would be no different from a twin, and his skin is also the same dark.
Liu Ling also smiled when he saw him, and called out affectionately: "Heizi, you are so strong!"
Heizi smiled and took off the submachine gun on his shoulder, and shouted at the people behind him:
"Are you all stupid? Why don't you call me Miss?"
Several young people reacted and saluted Liu Ling.
After asking, Liu Ling realized that although Peng Jinsheng had asked most of his former subordinates to take off their armor and return to the fields. But this place is a place where every family has a gun.
The main reason is that the public security is too chaotic, warlords are fighting, factions are everywhere, and no one dares to live in such a place without weapons for self-defense.
Although Peng Jinsheng governed the place well, no one dared to guarantee safety except Lao Cai.
So the first skill that young people here learned was to use weapons. The authorities had tried to promote Burmese teaching here.
But Peng Jinsheng sternly rejected it. He believed that each ethnic group should have its own language and writing, not to mention that their language is used by more people in the world than Burmese.
So far, Kokang still uses Chinese teaching, and even the textbooks are bought directly from China.
This is the consensus reached by various factions of the Kokang Allied Army. Shan State must maintain a high degree of autonomy.
This is when a government cannot treat the people under its rule fairly, then the ethnic group is a community fighting each other.
In fact, there are several big families in Kokang, which are also the power accumulated from long-term wars. These people have accumulated a lot of wealth from their drug trafficking careers in the early years, and each family has a large number of weapons.
If Peng Jinsheng wanted, his family would be the largest one, but he voluntarily gave up these for peace and stability because he cared about his compatriots.
Looking at these lively friends, Liu Ling finally showed a bright smile on her pretty face.
"Heizi, have you done what I told you last time?"
Heizi stood at attention: "Report to the lady, the Kokang Self-Defense Camp has been established a long time ago. We have been training in the rain forest and can be pulled out to fight at any time!"
Liu Ling nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, take me to see it!"
Heizi immediately answered "Yes!" Then several people walked out of the yard.
There was a pickup truck outside, which was just driven back by Heizi and his men. Several people got on the car. Just now, several people were crowded in the carport. Now Liu Ling got on the car. Except for Heizi driving, everyone else got on the car.
The pickup truck was speeding, whizzing through the busy streets, not caring about the shouting and cursing everywhere.
Liu Ling didn't care about Heizi's recklessness. A well-behaved young man was not suitable to live in such a chaotic world.
Although the road in Laojie is a cement road, it has been full of potholes due to years of disrepair. Years of war have left the Kokang people no time to care about the construction of infrastructure, because in such a world, "living" is the only goal.
The pickup truck left a trail of dust and soon left the city. In fact, the so-called city is just like a big town in China.
The country road was even more bumpy, but Heizi didn't seem to slow down at all, and he still stepped on the accelerator and sped away. Liu Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't show any discomfort. He looked calm and his eyes were always admiring the scenery outside.
This generation of Southeast Asia belongs to tropical rainforest or monsoon climate, so there is no winter here.
To be precise, even in winter, northerners who come here will treat it as summer.
At this time, Liu Ling was wearing a plain white dress, with two white lotus-like arms exposed, and a touch of snow-white on her chest, which was particularly attractive.
Heizi's eyes were fixed on the front, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Ling at all. He had no culture, but he felt that all the adjectives he had learned could not describe her beauty if they were used on Liu Ling.
In Heizi's heart, Liu Ling was his goddess. Not to mention blasphemy, even looking at her for a few more times would be defiled.
Over the years, he has only listened to Liu Ling. Since he was a teenager, he has started to form a team and train in the jungle on the border of Kokang. He has suffered all kinds of hardships.
The funds were naturally transferred to him by Liu Ling, and Liu Ling's own jade was taken out by Heizi and others.
You know, in addition to drugs, Myanmar is most famous for jade. And Liu Ling happened to be in Beijing, and China is one of the largest markets for jade.
Therefore, Liu Ling established supply and marketing channels with several large jade merchants in Beijing through the resources in his hands, and continuously transferred funds back.
With these funds, Heizi and his men have all the equipment and supplies to maintain the normal expenses of the troops.
Heizi's allied forces are called a battalion, but in fact, the number of people has reached thousands. They are all young people with very strong physical fitness.
The reason why they chose the border of Shan State is because it is a no-man's land, the government army's sphere of influence cannot reach it, and the Kokang Army's tentacles cannot reach so far. Even if there are occasional harassment from other armed forces, their strength is enough to protect themselves.
Myanmar has a total area of less than 800,000 square kilometers, which is the area of a province in the country. It cannot be said to be a large province. Otherwise, one northern Xinjiang can be the position of two Myanmar.
The camp was set up in a jungle. Because it belongs to the tropical monsoon season, although the vegetation here is dense, it is not a rainforest, so it is very suitable for garrisoning.
As for mosquitoes, flies, snakes, rats and other things, for people who grew up here, they do not pose a threat at all.
The station is a barracks made of bamboo and trees. The environment is not bad, and it is not as dirty and messy as other military camps. Everything is in good order.
There are also some livestock raised in the woods, of course not for farm work, but for nutrition, and they are slaughtered regularly to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers.
With a sharp whistle, the soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms and fully armed quickly gathered and soon formed a square array.
Heizi shouted to everyone in front: "Brothers, on the third anniversary of the establishment of our army, our leader Miss Peng Lingxiao finally came to see us!"
"Wow!"
Fierce applause rang out. Their team is also called the Allied Army, but with two more words, called the Kokang Youth Allied Army.
On weekdays, Heizi and other leaders have instilled Peng Lingxiao as a spiritual leader, so how can they not be excited when they see that the beauty in front of them is their eldest lady?
Young people are at the age of having dreams, no matter what their living conditions are? There is one thing in common, that is, they are not willing to be mediocre.
Although the living conditions in Kokang are not good, the more such places are, the stronger the concept of hierarchy. Look at those children of wealthy families, they are born with luxurious clothes and food, and even go to school abroad.
Even their daily diet and living habits, if seen once, would be boasted about for days, because such conditions were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Even middle-class people like Heizi can walk sideways in the old street. Except for a few big families who cannot be provoked, there is no need to take other people seriously.
Most of the people in the Kokang Youth Army are from the poor class, who are struggling for food and clothing every day. Therefore, they feel particularly wronged to change their fate.
Therefore, they train hard every day, just to become famous in one battle and rewrite the fate of themselves and their families one day.
The team has actually been established for many years. At that time, Heizi was only a teenager. At the beginning, there were more than a dozen friends playing together. They and Liu Ling were childhood friends.
At the beginning, there was no purpose, just for fun, taking the guns at home to practice shooting every day.
Later, when Liu Ling came back every summer and winter vacation, he would bring some books, from Sun Tzu's Art of War to On Protracted War. And he has been working with them.
In this way, the team gradually reached more than a hundred people, with very good combat qualities, and the relationship with Liu Ling is even more unspeakable.
The Kokang Youth Army was officially established in just three years, and Liu Ling has not come back in these three years. Because she went to Beijing to attend university.
She would ask someone to bring the jade from time to time, but this time, most of the young soldiers saw their leader for the first time.
The former friends have become leaders of the army and are also firm supporters of Liu Ling. Therefore, Liu Ling has absolute leadership over this team.
Liu Ling did not say anything nonsense and opened the box he carried with him, which was full of cash. In Kokang, the RMB is universal and still a hard currency, at least much stronger than the Myanmar currency.
According to the current prices in Kokang, 300 RMB will allow a family of five to live a luxurious life for a month.
And Liu Ling gave 500 RMB to each person this time. This 500 RMB is the resettlement fee, which means that the soldiers will go home and give the money to their families, because there will be a big action soon. So the family must be arranged in advance.
The soldiers were very excited. When they were at home, it was difficult for them to earn 100 RMB, because the income from working was only a few dozen yuan.
In other words, after working hard, the family was still struggling on the warm line. Now that they have received such a large sum of money out of thin air, which is almost a year's income, you can imagine how excited they are.
Liu Ling spoke to everyone after distributing the money: "We are Chinese. Now our homeland is being invaded by all parties. For our families and for ourselves, it is time to fight!"()
