At 9 AM, the sun was already high in the sky.
The water vapor in the mountain forest in western Yunnan was too strong. Under the sunlight, a lot of it evaporated. On the contrary, it made the small city of Chan Da, which was surrounded by mountains and forests, foggy.
"toot..."
The sound of a car horn echoed in the forest. Tang Jie had returned to Chan Da with the recon company.
However, the scouting company was split into two parts, and the majority brought Wang Nujiang and Wang Yan back to the camp.
The remaining scout platoon, Tang Jie and Fan Tianxi, headed north along the East River and arrived at the North Temple Lake.
A curved gray road was hidden among the lush vegetation. If one did not look carefully, almost no one would notice it.
"Guild Leader."
Two figures suddenly emerged from the bushes and saluted Tang Jie.
"Yes."
"You guys inform the base immediately that I'm here." Tang Jie nodded and said lightly.”
The advance party base did not have direct contact with the advance party camp, and the two sides did not belong to each other.
The road near Beimiao Lake was guarded by the advance guard battalion. Of course, at the mouth of the East River, the advance guard base also set up a guard station.
If there was no report, they would be dealt with as if they were enemies.
"Yes."
The sentry immediately took out a green rectangular object.""Hey, hey, hey, the frog calls the oriole, the frog calls the oriole.”
" Oriole received. Frog, please speak!"
"The regiment commander is here. Let them pass along the way!"
"Oriole received, we have already cleared the way!”
Fan Tianxi, who was sitting in the back of the jeep, found this scene very refreshing.
In fact, these walkie-talkies were Tang Jie's reward for signing in this month. There were a total of 30.
Fifteen were allocated to the advance party, and the remaining fifteen were allocated to the advance base.
A walkie-talkie was essentially a low-power wireless telephone transmitter.
These walkie-talkies came from the 1960s. The longest distance they could talk to was 15 kilometers, and they could only be used as short-distance communication tools.
In comparison, the world's most advanced portable combat radio could reach up to 30 kilometers, and the large radio with a large signal receiver could reach up to 500 kilometers. This was also one of the tasks that the advance party needed to do in Myanmar.
"Creak…"
Immediately, the sentries opened up the path.
The reconnaissance platoon drove the vehicle into the mountains again.
In order to ensure that the road laid by the advance base was hidden, the route chosen was more curved. The straight line distance of ten kilometers was extended to nearly fifteen kilometers, which took about half an hour.
Fan Tianxi looked down from the mountainside. There was a small basin in the mountains. Under the fog, a huge military base could be vaguely seen.
Barracks, training grounds, and other buildings were neatly arranged together. There was even a small field airport.
It was 9:30 in the morning. Thirty thousand strong soldiers wearing American khaki military uniforms, high-top combat boots, and buzz cuts were undergoing orderly training. Gunshots and cannons could be heard faintly in the mountains.
"Major."
"This is…"
Fan Tianxi could no longer remain calm. He looked at Tang Jie in shock.
Others only knew that the advance party was a powerful army of 8,000 people. Even he thought that Tang Jie had brought him to a secret camp of the advance party.
However, who knew that in the deep mountains not far from Chan Da, a base that could accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers stood tall.
If this news got out, not to mention the national team, even Long Yun would be afraid of Tang Jie.
"Uncle Fan."
In the front passenger seat of the jeep, Tang Jie's deep eyes flickered with a cold light as he said,""The day before we set off to return to Chan Da.”
"I told you that you are from the Yunnan Army, but you are also a general that my father personally promoted.”
"Today, I will ask you again. Are you willing to serve the Tang family?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Fan Tianxi's expression kept changing.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and replied seriously,""Marshal gave me a new life and a future.”
"I, Fan Tianxi, am not a heartless person.”
When one was under the eaves, one had no choice but to lower one's head.
At this point, Fan Tianxi had already boarded Tang Jie's pirate ship. Even if he went down, not many people would accept him.
He only had one path now, and that was to follow Tang Jie until the end.
"Yes."
Tang Jie looked deeply at Fan Tianxi and continued,""That day, I went to the Dian Province Military Governor's residence and had a meeting with Uncle Yun.”
"The meeting first set the tone of recommending Liu Wenhui as the governor of Guizhou Province, and then set the matters related to the establishment of the Southwest Bank by the three southwestern provinces and the Tang family.”
"The Southwest Bank will have 15% shares in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and Tang Jie will have 55% shares. They will also follow the first version of Yuan Datou and launch Yanhuang coins.”
"Use three months to completely expel the four great families and the 'legal currency' and restore the financial market.”
"After the expeditionary army enters Myanmar and the southwest war breaks out, the three provinces in the southwest will establish a joint defense headquarters and an armed police corps in the name of maintaining local security.”
"The three provinces 'armed police corps each have six brigades, each with 5,000 soldiers. They have Leenfield rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and 12 Type 75 field cannons. The garrison will be located in the provincial cities of the three southwestern provinces, and the national army will not be stationed there.”
What was that?
Hearing this.
Fan Tianxi widened his eyes.
The three provinces of the southwest had joined forces with the Tang family to establish the Southwest Bank, expel the legal currency, and unify the southwest's financial sector. Then, they would use the opportunity of the war in Myanmar to form an army of 90,000 and control the provincial capital. Wasn't it obvious that they were going against the national team?
But on second thought, not only did this plan have a chance of success, but there was almost no chance of failure because the timing was too good.
"In this world, only profit is the eternal truth.”
"I can't put all my hopes in the hands of others, let alone hand the Tang family over to others.”
"The 30,000 soldiers you see in front of you are carefully selected from the 100,000-odd defeated soldiers of Chan Da.”
"They will become the Tang clan's last line of defense in the southwest.”
"I need you to organize this army and set up two infantry divisions to be ready to enter Myanmar at any time.”
Staring at Fan Tianxi, Tang Jie's eyes were as bright as the cold stars, and his entire body faintly released an extremely strong sense of oppression.
A king, a true ruler, would never place his hopes on others.
Thus, Tang Jie never trusted Long Yun. He had even left some methods to keep Fan Tianxi in check.
"Yes, Major, I understand."
Fan Tianxi replied respectfully.
It was only at this moment that this veteran general of the Dian Army felt that Tang Jie was no longer the ignorant youth of the past, but the Southwest Major.
"Guild Leader!"
The convoy driven by the recon platoon also entered the base.
The person in charge of the base, Franklin Torres, immediately came forward to welcome him.
"Yes."
"Take Commander Fan down to take a look."
"From today onwards, he will be the commander of the advance base, and you will be the deputy commander.”
Jie Tang ordered.
"Yes."
Franklin did not say anything and brought Fan Tianxi to the base.
As for Tang Jie, he turned around and returned to the advance party's camp. That was his main focus.
