At eight o 'clock in the evening, in a high-class villa in the capital of the M nation, the then president of the M nation, Wu Zongsheng, was anxiously pacing back and forth inside the villa. His wife, a beautiful young woman, was crying on the sofa in the living room, wiping away her tears with a tissue.
On the other side of the living room stood a row of senior generals and officers. None of them dared to breathe loudly, as if they were afraid of disturbing the president who was "thinking" of a solution. Just now, they had received a call from the frontline. The frontline commander said that ten minutes ago, they had lost contact with the 1st Division, which had come to the frontline for a change of defense. They had heard the sparse sound of gunfire 20 kilometers behind the battle zone.
The commanders at the frontline were shocked. When they heard the gunfire, their first reaction was that the rebel forces had bypassed the frontline and attacked them from the rear. But when they thought about it carefully, they realized that it wasn't possible. The frontline was so long, and the defense was so tight. It was impossible for the rebel forces to pass through it right under their noses. The only possibility was that there were paratroopers on the huge transport plane that had appeared in the afternoon, and they had launched a surprise attack from the rear of the government forces.
The commander immediately felt that something was wrong. He immediately sent a battalion of troops to investigate. When he did, he was shocked. On a narrow road 20 kilometers behind the rear defense line, there were broken cars and corpses of government soldiers all over the ground.
The commander was shocked. He didn't expect that there would be such a big casualty in his fortified rear line of defense. Nearly a hundred soldiers were killed or injured, and 13 vehicles were destroyed. Two of them suffered devastating blows, and two of them were directly blown into pieces. Only a small part of the front of the two Dong Feng trucks was left. The body and the back of the truck were long gone.
On this short stretch of road, apart from the corpses, they did not see a single living person. Not even the shadow of a soldier or officer was seen. Even the commander of the 1st Division, Wu Dingcai, was nowhere to be seen. This was going to be a big deal.
This was going to be a big deal. Although Wu Dingcai's military rank was not high, his position was ordinary, and his business ability was even worse, he had a strong background. His brother-in-law was the current president of the M Nation, the ruler of a country. With such an extraordinary background, this brother-in-law's status was immediately elevated. Many senior generals in the military system sometimes had to salute and bow when they saw him, for fear that they would offend this fat man with a bad temper and get themselves into trouble.
But now, the commander who was about to take over the command of the army had actually disappeared. This gave the commander a big fright. Although the central government and the rebel regime were in full swing, the reality was that the government did not wear a single pair of pants. There were those who supported the government, those who supported the army, and there were also those who supported the NLD. Although these people had their votes, none of them did not want to ascend to the top of the ruling class and take control of the country's political power.
Although the central government was still amiable due to the issue of the rebel army, in reality, the power struggle within the central government had almost entered a white-hot stage. Some lawbreakers believed that there was a problem with the president's administrative policies. They believed that he was too extreme in dealing with the rebel army and that the central government should not simply go to war with the rebel army. Instead, they should resolve the issue of unification through negotiation.
The military system that supported the central government disagreed. They believed that the situation in the country had reached a point where it could not be resolved through war. The rebel regime had always been self-governing in the northeast of Myanmar. They had their own government, their own army, their own agriculture, and their own source of income. With so much freedom, the rebel army was already a veritable country.
The king of the rebel army had his own army. He had a large territory, nearly ten thousand troops, and hundreds of thousands of people under his rule. The central government also gave him a high degree of political freedom. With all these conditions, the king of the rebel army was basically the king of a country within a country. He did not go on pilgrimage, pay tribute, pay taxes, or give up his territory.
In the eyes of the Central Army, all these actions were a sign that they wanted to become king and establish their own country. The supreme commander of the army, His Excellency the President, was immediately enraged. He gave the order to destroy this country within a country at all costs.
But dreams were beautiful, and reality was cruel. In the beginning, the Central Army used their advantage in weapons, equipment, and numbers to achieve a big victory. They greatly reduced the living space of the rebel independent army, and now they were trapped in the mountains on the border.
But unexpectedly, this useless Wu Dingcai actually made a mistake at this time. He was actually captured. Everyone knew who was the one who captured him. This was because just two days ago, a small group of special operations forces from the Northeast Country sneaked into the headquarters camp and wanted to assassinate the frontline commander. However, they were repelled by the mercenaries hired by the commander. They also wiped out the small group from the Northeast Country that came to carry out the sneak attack. The corpses were hung on the flagpole of the military camp and exposed to the sun. They wanted to use this method to demonstrate to the opposing rebel army.
The special forces sent by your ancestors have already been destroyed by me. How dare you people with impure bloodlines fight against the central army? Aren't you courting death?
After the demonstration of hanging the corpses, the morale of the rebel army was indeed a lot lower. Their resistance was not as strong as before. The frontline commander was very happy, because this indicated that the rebel army could not hold on any longer. They were about to be eliminated.
However, just as victory was about to come, a sudden change occurred. The president had ordered him to stand by and wait for the new frontline commander to take over his military power. He, on the other hand, had to return to Naypyidaw for the promotion ceremony.
However, he never expected that General Wu Dingcai, who had come to replace him, would actually be captured right under his nose. This made the commander very embarrassed. Wu Dingcai was the president's favorite general. If the president knew that he had been captured in his jurisdiction, he would definitely punish him.
Although the commander was very afraid of the president's butcher knife, he did not dare to hide it from him. He called the president and told him what he had seen. After a long silence, the president squeezed out four words, "Go and find him immediately!"
With just one order from the leader, the subordinates had to run all over the place. The commander of the frontline immediately ordered all the soldiers who were not on duty at the frontline to go into the mountains to find Wu Dingcai, who had been taken away. He concluded that after the kidnappers took Wu Dingcai away, they couldn't run very fast because they were in Myanmar, a primitive forest in a tropical rainforest.
The commander's judgment was right. After Jiang Cheng and the others caught Wu Dingcai, they did not run far. Wu Dingcai was too heavy, and his body was weak. Liu Dazhi pulled him and ran for less than a dozen miles on the mountain road before Wu Dingcai cried for his parents.
Liu Dazhi thought that Wu Dingcai was too noisy, so he directly took off a stinky sock from his feet and stuffed it into Wu Dingcai's mouth. After that, Wu Dingcai's crying stopped, but the whining became louder. This was because Liu Dazhi's sock was really stinky. He had not washed his feet and changed his socks for more than ten days. In addition, he often sweated during training, so his shoes were full of sweat. Once he took off his shoes, the stench of his feet could spread for more than ten miles.
After Jiang Cheng and the others caught Wu Dingcai, they confirmed his identity through the satellite network and found that he was indeed the target of this mission. After the higher-ups learned that they had succeeded, they immediately ordered them to go around the frontline and bring Wu Dingcai back to the country. They would hand him over to a special task force at the border.
The higher-ups said it was easy, but it was not easy for Jiang Cheng to do it. If they wanted to go around the frontline of the Central Army and the rebel independent army, they would have to go around the mountain road for at least more than 70 miles. If it was on flat land or in hilly areas, the more than 70 miles of mountain road was nothing to Jiang Cheng and the others. They would only need a few hours of rapid marching to get there.
However, they were in a primeval forest in Myanmar, and there was a fat man with them. Now, this fat man was basically carried by Liu Dazhi and Xu Aiguo, because this guy's legs were cramping.
Jiang Cheng turned off the screen of the microcomputer, pointed to the woods in the northeast and said, "Comrades, according to reliable information, there are at least thousands of people chasing us now. In the east, there are also several divisions of the Central Army defending the front line. In the west, there is a primeval forest that has not been developed and explored.
We only have one way left now, which is the northeast road. However, if we take this road, we are very likely to encounter the front line troops of the Central Army of the M Country who are searching for us. With the weapons and ammunition we have now, it is difficult for us to fight them in the first stage. So, I want to ask for your opinion. Do we take the northeast road to the motherland, or do we take the west road that no one has ever walked through before? "
Jiang Cheng had to explain the situation because they were now at a critical juncture and had to make a decision immediately. However, Jiang Cheng did not want to hide anything from his brothers. He wanted to give them a chance to choose.
