If you cheat, money will follow

end of June.

South Asian subcontinent.

The confrontation continues.

Ah San did not dare to act rashly or attack rashly.

Instead, they guarded the western end of Siliguri Pass and placed heavy artillery, rocket launchers, mortars and other artillery.

They have fully learned their experience and lessons and will no longer send hostages.

After all, the Siliguri Pass is only 20 kilometers wide at its widest.

They didn't even dare to send out planes, for fear of being accurately targeted by anti-aircraft artillery that was similar to missiles.

The autonomous region does not dare to act hastily, but instead proceeds steadily.

With its population, it is very difficult to support the six northeastern states.

If it expands further, there will be risks of dispersion and collapse.

Moreover, the six northeastern states have always been complicated, dissatisfied with Asan's rule, and separatism is prevalent.

There are historical reasons and practical reasons.

For historical reasons, this land was not originally Asan's territory, but a product of John Bull's colonialism.

Due to practical reasons, Asan has implemented separation and suppression policies for a long time, which has caused deep resentment in this land.

In terms of economic containment, we will do our best to contain the development of this area.

Strengthening the stereotype that investment is not enough in Siliguri has left the region economically backward and the people living in poverty.

There is institutional discrimination and the people in this area have never been regarded as one of our own.

Just treat this land as your own.

This time the autonomous army marched in so smoothly, in large part due to this unequal system.

The population was diluted, and large-scale immigration policies were implemented in an attempt to neutralize the bloodline of this land.

Asan worked hard for many years, and the result was the resistance of as many as 120 civilian armed forces.

After years of management, there are still 70 civilian armed groups operating in the area.

Peng Deren told Marilin his confusion.

Marilin was surprised by Peng Deren's ambition and laughed:

"You don't really think you can control this place, do you?"

Peng Deren acquiesced: "..."

"It seems that you really have this idea. I can tell you very directly that if you really want to control this place, the results will be counterproductive and you will not have a good life." Marilin said.

"You mean the international community's attitude towards foreign expansion?" Peng Deren asked.

"This is just one aspect..." Marilin shook his head:

"The more important reason is that this 17.85 square kilometers of land is completely an enclave, with its own race, culture, religion, and customs... It is impossible for them to submit to anyone."

Marilin continued: "If you really do this, you will not only encounter hostility and confrontation from Asan, but you will also face long-term resistance from the people of this land."

"The international community will definitely isolate you, and we will not support you on this issue."

"Everything should be done in moderation!" Marilin said this very seriously.

"Then what should we do? We have paid so much and just go back?" Peng Deren was unwilling to accept it.

Although the process is smooth, there are still sacrifices, and many sacrifices.

"Of course you have to retreat, but you have to be careful about how you retreat. If you retreat like this, people will definitely think you are afraid of them." Marilin said.

"Mr. Ma, please elaborate." Peng Deren said.

Marilin smiled and said: "In any region, people have the right to pursue development;"

"Every nation has the right to choose the way of development...;"

"No force should or is allowed to interfere indiscriminately. Forcible interference will inevitably lead to resistance."

"This is a historical truth."

Peng Deren understood after listening.

He nodded and said: "I understand. Respecting the right to independence is the most basic principle of modern civilization."

"After all, we are not the owners of this land. We should return the land to its original owners at the right time and in the right way."

Peng Deren emphasized the tone of the word "original".

"We must also provide some support and assistance within our capacity to help them resolutely defend their right to development."

"Commander, you are absolutely right. What should we do next?" Marilin asked.

"Don't worry, I already have an idea." Peng Deren nodded.

Objectively speaking, no country in history has issued such a decree:

"Soldiers are authorized to kill all suspicious civilians without authorization from their superiors...".

At the same time, there is also the absurd provision of "stopping all types of infrastructure to prepare for enemy countries."

Ah San was the first in history to treat his own people as enemies.

It would be strange to have peace in this place.

With a clear idea in mind, under the convening of the Autonomous Army, the leaders of several major civil and local armies from the six states gathered in Dingsujia.

This includes the Federal Army, Ishaq, the Midazole Army, the United Liberation Front of Assam, the Bodo National Democratic Forces... and so on.

Peng Deren arrived at Dingsugiya, met with these leaders, and personally preached and clarified their doubts.

"Everyone, I know you are confused. However, you will no longer be confused soon. We are here mainly to discuss three aspects of our opinions."

"First, we are not enemies with you."

"Our people, like you, love freedom, love life, and like to use their hands to create their own happiness."

"We have never thought of taking this land as our own. The reason why conflicts occurred during this period was mainly to counter the repeated provocations."

"The confrontation is still continuing, and we hope that peace talks will be possible in the near future."

"After the peace talks, we will evacuate and return this land to you."

"How you develop this land and how you choose your own development method, we will not interfere."

"Second, we are neighbors to everyone, and neighbors should be friendly and help each other."

"We welcome everyone to come to the autonomous region to do business, work together, and improve living standards."

"If you need anything, feel free to put it forward. The people of our autonomous region are kind-hearted and charitable and are willing to help everyone."

"Third, we should become friends with everyone."

“We firmly support everyone’s right to develop independently and freely.”

"In this conflict, we seized some equipment to defend peace."

"If necessary, everyone is welcome to consult."

"Whether it is rifles, machine guns, mortars or heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft are all included in the sale."

"We can guarantee that the price is absolutely fair and 50% lower than the market price."

Peng Deren's words resonated with everyone present.

Many people were proactive and consulted on the spot:

"What specific equipment is there?"

"What's the price?"
