Homo sapiens.

This is also one of the foundations why Wu Kaile's family can grow and develop.

After all, the Maungu family can rely on flour from the Golden Triangle, smuggling from the northeast border, and gambling from the old street.

And Wu Kaile's family relied on the emeralds in the Oolong River area, the river transportation and agriculture in the Mandalay area.

The buzzing sound of the chainsaw didn't affect Wu Kaile's mood. He liked the stimulation of cutting rough stones.

Controlling the channel of the core source of goods, the rough stone in front of Wu Kaile is naturally not a marble-type jadeite.

Soon this piece of watermelon-sized raw stone was cut open, revealing an obvious green ribbon, but Wu Kaile shook his head:

"Garbage is green, and there are a lot of cracks. It's not worth much."

A middle-aged man who walked in from the door quickly smiled and praised: "The general's eyes are like torches, he really deserves to be the king of gambling."

Regarding the flattery of his subordinates, Wu Kaile did not get carried away with complacency. His stone gambling experience was obtained by cutting stones non-stop: "Zhengshan, what's the matter with you?"

Mang Zhengshan is one of his teachers.

At this time, the person Wu Kaile really cared about was not Mangzhengshan, but the few people he brought over.

Sensing that Wu Kaile's expression was wrong, Mang Zhengshan immediately whispered in his ear: "General, they want to see you and say they have something very important to discuss with you."

Although Wu Kaile didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, he was a guest after all, so he told the housekeeper, "Go and prepare tea."

"Yes, sir."

in the living room.

Wu Kaile narrowed his eyes slightly, Maang An?Maggie?What are these two guys doing in Mandalay?

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a long time without nutrition.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Maung An finally opened his mouth to explain his purpose: "Your Excellency, General, are you interested in making a deal?"

"Business?" Wu Kaile glanced at the other party, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, he then asked calmly:

"What kind of business is it worth the two of you to come over in person?"

Maung An and Maung Shi, one is the spokesperson of the big family in Yangon, and the other is the spokesperson of the big family in Ayeyarwady Province. They themselves represent the big families in the south.

At this time, he actually came to Mandalay in person. Obviously, this business is very big, and he may need to come forward.

"The general should know that business in the coastal areas is not easy now, and we hope to ease the atmosphere with the outside world." Maung An said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wu Kaile took a sip of tea, and replied with a half-smile: "Shouldn't you go to Pingmane for this kind of thing? Mandalay has no right to decide."

"No, as long as the general is willing, Mandalay can decide." Maung An looked into the other's eyes very seriously.

"..." Wu Kaile's eyes were full of astonishment and astonishment: "Your Excellency, you might as well explain it clearly."

"Your Excellency, this is a petition from various families along the coast, you can read it first." Maung An handed over a petition.

Wu Kaile took it over and took a look, and found that more than two-thirds of the dozen or so big families in the coastal area had signed it.

This caused the ambition in Wu Kaile's heart to immediately order weeds to grow wildly.

But then he calmed down again, and quickly calculated in his heart that he had mastered the strength of the eight divisions in the north, and he was confident that he could persuade the other party to stand still in Maunggu's side.

If you add the secret support of those big families in the coastal area, these people also have an intricate network of relationships. Even if they don't cooperate with me, they will most likely stand on the sidelines.

In this way, I only need to face the two divisions in Binma alone.

It's just that Wu Kaile still had some doubts in his heart. Instead of agreeing immediately, he asked instead:

"Maggu can also do it, why don't you go to him?"

Maung An smiled: "The general is the strongest. If you go to General Maung Gu, will the general be willing to stand still?"

Wu Kaile immediately understood that his line of troops was indeed the strongest, and if Maungu's line wanted to do something, it would be impossible without his cooperation and acquiescence.

It's just that Wu Kaile still didn't agree: "I need to think about this matter, after all, it's very important."

Maung Shi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up to assist at this moment: "The two divisions in Binmanei, we can help the general appease them, and promise not to interfere in this matter."

After getting this answer, Wu Kaile was immediately moved.

After all, what he was worried about was whether this matter would be a trap. If Maung Shi Maung An could really let the two defenders in Binmane sit on the sidelines, then he felt that the success rate of this matter was very high.

"Are you sure?"

"Naturally, as a token of good faith, we will remain in Mandalay until the general has finished everything."

Seeing the sincerity of the other party, Wu Kaile no longer had doubts in his heart. At this moment, he only felt that I had the advantage, so he quickly reached an agreement with Maung An and Maung Shi, and the two sides divided their respective interests.

That night.

Wu Kaile gathered all his confidants in the military camp outside the city.

Including Mang Zhengshan, the commander of the 505th Division who introduced Maung An and Maung Shi, Wu Daoda, the commander of the 501st Division, Wu Yao, the commander of the 502nd Division, Bo Ke, the commander of the 503rd Division, and Mang Feng, the head of the Military Intelligence Department.

These people are all Wu Kaile's confidantes, and they are also subordinates that he feels he can trust.

After telling everyone about the matter with Maung An Maung Shi in the morning, Wu Kaile secretly observed the expressions of everyone.

Mang Zhengshan immediately flattered him: "Good advice, General, I have long since disliked the gang."

Others also quickly echoed it. After all, this incident seemed to have a very high success rate. If they stood up to oppose it now, wouldn't it be against Wu Kaile?

Wu Yao, the commander of the 502nd Division, immediately shouted: "General, let me take the lead. I promise to take Pingmanei within an hour."

You Wu Yao, you are so cunning, the others thought contemptuously.

And Mang Zhengshan did not show any weakness: "General, I am also willing to take the lead."

Now the others couldn't sit still, and expressed their willingness to do the same for the general.

Wu Kaile felt that the military spirit was useful, but it was obviously inappropriate to send four divisions south all at once. After all, the heart of defense is indispensable.

He looked at Mangzhengshan who had recommended Maung An and the others. He had already received a report from the Military Intelligence Department that this guy had taken a lot of money from him.

Just in case, Wu Kaile planned to let Boqi's 503rd Division and Mangzhengshan's 505th Division garrison Mandalay's lair, so that they could monitor each other and guard against the Kachin Army in the north and the Maungu faction in the southeast.

And he himself took the guard regiment, Wu Daoda's 501st Division, Wu Yao's 502nd Division, and then joined the southern 504th Division, gathered the strength of the three divisions, and quickly approached the city.

Wu Kaile, who was dazzled by his interests, didn't know that there was an invisible hand controlling his every move.

To destroy it, you must first make it mad.

Chapter 92 Praying Mantis Catch Cicada

To the southeast, 160 kilometers away from Mandalay, is Taunggyi, the capital of Shan State.

Domino, who was here, was lazily sitting on the sofa, looking at the adjutant sent by Wu Kaile on the big screen of the mural, and his ancient appearance.

She smiled: "The fish is hooked."

Maung Gu, who had received the instructions a long time ago, chatted with the other party for a long time, and then used an attitude of refusal to welcome, making the other party feel that there was a chance to persuade him.

After obtaining a series of benefits, Maung Gu promised not to interfere in Wu Kaile's affairs, and even agreed to help defend against the threat of the Kachin Army in the north.

With Yang Mengjiao, Domino and others secretly fueling the flames, Wu Kaile, who felt that he was expected by everyone, finally couldn't bear his ambition.

In the early morning of November 19, 11.

Wu Kaile, who was worried about long nights and dreams, immediately took action and personally led three divisions to go straight to Pingmana.

The straight-line distance between Mandalay and Pyinmana is only about 230 kilometers. There is a railway connecting the two places, and this railway is very straight, with a total length of only about 240 kilometers.

Through the internal cooperation of Maung An and others, Wu Kaile's army quickly took control of the railway and blocked the leak of news.

At around three o'clock in the morning, the temporarily requisitioned train, with Wu Kaile's guard group, Wu Daoda's 501st Division and equipment, quickly drove southward.

But Wu Kaile is not a pioneer along the way.

The vanguard was Wu Yao's 502nd Division. This army marched along the road almost parallel to the railway through armored vehicles and temporarily requisitioned motorcycles.

That's right, the Pioneer is the 502nd Division on the highway.

The main reason for this situation is that the railway in Hongshawadi is in very bad condition, and the speed is almost tortoise speed.

哪怕曼德勒到彬马那之间的河谷平原比较平坦，240公里的路程仍然需要6～7个小时，平均每小时35～40公里左右。

However, armored vehicles and motorcycles on roads can reach 60-70 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than railways.

The other 504th Division also went to Binmana by road, but their armored vehicles and motorcycles were borrowed by the 502nd Division, and now they can only move forward on two legs.

Wu Yao sat on the armored vehicle, constantly looking at his watch and map.

The road is about 245 kilometers away from Pingmana. It is expected that they will arrive in Pingmana in about 4 hours, and it will be just dawn by then.

Time beats slowly every minute and every second.

When encountering civilian vehicles along the way, the soldiers used the drill as an excuse to persuade them to leave.

Until 6:44am.

"Report, has arrived in the suburbs of Pingmana."

Hearing the scout's report, Wu Yao immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered to his subordinates: "According to the previous arrangement, act immediately, we will have breakfast at Pingmana."

"A group received!"

"Second regiment..."

With an order, the regimental and battalion commanders, who had known their mission for a long time, rushed into the urban area and took control of the station, airport, TV station, and office buildings of the organization.

Since it was just dawn, many people were sleeping, and they didn't react at all, so they were surrounded by a circle.

The atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense.

As for the two garrison divisions stationed nearby, it seemed that they did not notice the abnormality at this time. They not only kept the soldiers in the camp, but also blocked the radio and mobile phone signals.

Taking the information collected by the Military Intelligence Department, Wu Yao quickly invited those targets to his temporary military camp one by one according to the above list.

Looking at the terrified targets, he showed a slight smile, and said to the adjutant, "Look closely, if you let one go, I will shoot you."

"Of order." The adjutant replied with a serious face.

At about ten o'clock in the morning that day, the slow train finally arrived at Binmana Railway Station, and Wu Kaile got off quickly with his cronies and Division 501.

Wu Yao greeted him personally at the train station.

Seeing that Wu Yao and Division 502 completed the task effortlessly, Wu Kaile patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction: "Wu Yao, you did a good job this time."

"It's all cultivated by the general, and the subordinates dare not take credit for it." Wu Yao quickly replied.

Wu Kaile was even more satisfied, but he was more concerned about the situation of the two defenders at this time: "By the way, are there any abnormalities in the two defenders?"

"No, they are still stationed in Leve Town in the southwest. I have sent 3 regiments to monitor them."

"Very good." Wu Kaile was overjoyed, then turned his head and told his adjutant: "Arrange people from the TV station immediately, I want to hold a press conference."

The adjutant had already prepared: "In about half an hour, you should be able to use the TV station equipment in Pimana."

Just after the adjutant left.

Wu Yao went on to say: "General, I was worried that some people in the city would take risks, so I transferred all the targets to the temporary barracks of the 502nd Division."

"Well, I don't worry about your work." Wu Kaile also felt that Wu Yao did a good job.

More than half an hour later, the staff of the TV station adjusted the equipment under coercion and temptation.

After Wu Kaile finished filming in the studio, the staff of the TV station quickly edited the content of the recording and broadcast, and began to send signals to the TVs in the territory.

On the TV screen, Wu Kaile's expression that seemed to be sure of winning was already seen by Domino who was lurking in Levi Town. She immediately used the messenger dragonfly to send action instructions to the insider.

at the same time.

The press conference through the TV channel also spread throughout Hongshawadi at this time.

This sudden situation surprised all places, but at the same time took it for granted. After all, the ups and downs of Hongshawadi in the past few decades have made the local people accustomed to this kind of thing.

Unlike the numbness of ordinary people, the big families, big businessmen, and small warlords began to surge undercurrents.

Among them, the reaction from Yangon was the most intense.

The spokespersons of more than a dozen local families held a meeting in the afternoon.

On the surface, this meeting was to discuss how to deal with Wu Kaile's family. In fact, among the 13 big families, 7 have been controlled by Domino, and the remaining 6 families are just kept in the dark.

Therefore, the topic of discussion in the entire meeting revolved around how to compromise with Wu Kaile's family. At the same time, some families proposed to secretly win over the Maungu Legion and the Wu Gang Legion in the south to check and balance Wu Kaile.

The six families who were kept in the dark also felt that this was the best solution now.

As for rescuing the people in Binma, they were not in a hurry. Although there were people from their family there, it was useless to worry about such a thing. Instead, it would become Wu Kaile's bargaining chip to threaten them.
