What Yang Chendong wants is a Phnom Penh dynasty that can become his logistics base, not a Phnom Penh dynasty that is devastated and scarred, and even may have civil strife at any time. If so, it's better not to occupy it, so as not to pay a lot of energy for it, it's not worth the loss.
Today's mercenaries are like the German army during World War II. They have strong military strength and financial support in the early stage of the war. But after the first World War, he failed in the end. One of the most fundamental reasons is that they simply can't see their own strength and think they are the first in the world, but they don't know that strong combat power is not equal to strong ruling power and management ability.
Yang Chendong never wanted to become a fat man in one bite. What he wanted was how to win wars quickly and steadily without wavering. Therefore, he set a goal for himself, that is, he will never spend too much time and energy in any war. If he can fight, he will fight. If he can't fight, he will withdraw immediately. Otherwise, once he falls into the quagmire of war, he may be unable to extricate himself. Once there is a problem in a certain link, it is not a problem of whether he can win others, It's whether you can survive.
Having a broader vision and a world outlook beyond those born is also a major advantage of Yang Chendong, which is unmatched and unmatched by others.
"Yes, if we can really solve the problem of Phnom Penh Dynasty in one to two months, it can really catch them unprepared and make them unable to send troops for assistance. In this way, I will do it and I will delay the time of sending troops from Siam and AVA as much as possible." Luan Xiaochen promised after understanding Yang Chendong's intention.
"Not only that, Laos Province, including Vietnam Province, also needs to provide 30000 people to Phnom Penh Dynasty. Among these people, there should be a certain proportion of skilled workers. After the war, it means reconstruction. These jobs are also very important." Yang Chendong needs not only Luan Xiaochen's full support, but also the help of population and talents. "Of course, the money for the post disaster reconstruction of Phnom Penh Dynasty will come out of the red inlaid City, which doesn't have to worry about Laos."
"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem." it's just someone's contribution. Although Laos province has not been built for a long time, it has won the strong support of chiembedded city. There are still a lot of technical talents. There should be no problem in allocating about 5000 people by then.
Luan Xiaochen agreed. While Yang Chendong was pleased, he said, "time is tight. I can't show what I'm here for the time being. Some work needs to be done by yourself. Including Vietnamese governor Song Zhe, you also need to tell him that all these are my orders. You just need to convey them."
"OK, sixth young master, I know how to do it." Luan Xiaochen nodded again. He was well aware that the outbreak of war would have a great impact on the Lao Province under construction and economic development, but he obeyed the overall situation. Even in the long run, a Phnom Penh Dynasty of its own and a Phnom Penh dynasty that may become a bomb at any time are worth losing even now.
The next time, Yang Chendong and Luan Xiaochen talked in the courtyard for most of the day and exchanged views on some things. Yang Chendong also put forward the general development direction of a thing. As for the details, Luan Xiaoli needs to grasp it.
The next day, Luan Xiaochen left mahasai city. Externally, this time he was just an ordinary patrol and did not attract the attention of any forces. But when he left, only he knew what kind of heavy responsibility he was bearing. When he thought of leaving, Yang Chendong only gave him half a month to prepare. He felt great pressure, but at the same time, he was excited. Once the Phnom Penh Dynasty has become one of the forces of mercenaries, it is conceivable that the development of Laos province will enter a fast lane and the development speed will be thousands of miles with each passing day.
Half a month to prepare, this is not only the time limit given by Yang Chendong to Luan Xiaochen, but also the deadline he gave to the participating troops. As early as ten days ago, Shicheng on the grassland received a telegram. Forty eight hours later, the well prepared first division of the Tianxia cavalry left the Shicheng area and traveled day and night from nuergandisi area to Haizhen, where a large number of transport ships were waiting for them.
The world's first Cavalry Division is haunted. They don't even have a fixed training place. Everything is based on actual combat. Where they appear, there will often be war. Even if such an army suddenly disappears on the grassland, no one will know and pay attention to it.
This increases the concealment of action. When all forces know that the first Cavalry Division in the world appears in Southeast Asia and shows their strong side in the Phnom Penh Dynasty, that will be the future.
Not only the first Cavalry Division in the world is in action, but also the first marine army in the Navy. Kaohsiung military commander handed over the task of naval battle against the Phnom Penh Dynasty to long Yuntian, the division commander of the third division. Yang Chendong spoke in person and was promoted from a acting head to the post of teacher. This time, it was time for him to show and repay.
Land and sea go hand in hand, which can hit the Phnom Penh Dynasty to a greater extent and shorten the time of occupying here. In addition, he personally led more than 8000 officers and soldiers of the fourth division of the first army on the land, plus 8000 officers and soldiers of 20 auxiliary barracks, he seems to have seen the scene of the five-star flag inserted throughout the Phnom Penh Dynasty.
After Luan Xiaochen returned to Vientiane City, the seat of the provincial government, he immediately made a series of arrangements. Among them, there are those inside the province and those outside the province; There are economic, civil and military differences.
Two days later, Luan Xiaochen attended a regular meeting and delivered a speech at the Commerce Bureau of Laos province. In view of the recent friendly relations with Siam and AVA, in order to deepen mutual feelings and cooperation, the export of goods was increased by 5%, and the price was reduced by 5%.
Compared with the two 5 percent, the interests of businessmen from the two countries will increase by far more than 10 percent, only more. When the news came out, the businessmen of the two countries were full of joy. In turn, the major forces behind those businessmen were also very happy.
There is no separation between officials and businessmen, which has existed since ancient times. Luan Xiaochen saw through this and made this move. With this agreement, it can be greatly guaranteed that once the Phnom Penh Dynasty is attacked, the support troops of Siam and AVA will slow down. After all, once they choose to go to war with mercenaries, it will affect commercial exchanges and the income and living level of those in power.
Three days later, Luan Xiaochen, on behalf of the Lao provincial government, expressed great dissatisfaction with the border blockade of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.
Two days later, the Lao army in the province began to move frequently. Under the leadership of general he Guang, it quickly moved to the provincial border areas, and a large amount of food began to be concentrated.
Changes in the military are often the first to attract attention. The spies stationed in Laos from Phnom Penh, Siam and AVA also moved, but what they couldn't understand was that there was no movement at the Luo headquarters of the second division of the mercenary cold front, which had been stationed in Laos and Vietnam. They were still training in the military camp. When you can see the scene of the army going out of the camp and training.
The Lao army is only a local army, which is not terrible. The second division of mercenaries can affect the heartstrings of the three countries. Therefore, after seeing this result, the three parties almost hold the same view at the same time, that is, the mobilization of the Lao army is just to deter the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and they have no intention to really move troops.
Of course, if the Lao army is really guided, whether it can beat the Phnom Penh army or not depends on two.
Three days after the decision was made, I thought the changes of the Lao army should be stopped. After all, it's no fun to thunder without rain. But to their surprise, the Lao army did not stop the so-called shock and awe movement. On the contrary, it also sent troops to Shangding city. Both sides have Chen soldiers on the border, and there is a strong wind and cloud coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
The move of Laos province finally made Siam and AVA unable to stand idly by. They sent envoys to mediate. In their eyes, the most favorable situation is that the four sides are friendly and commercial exchanges. Anyone who wants to break this situation will be their enemy.
The envoys of the two countries appeared, and the situation seemed to have eased a little, at least not seeing the Lao army send troops. While everyone was relieved, the envoys of Siam and AVA found the envoys of the Allied Phnom Penh Dynasty to express their concern about the current situation and that the Lao army had restrained from sending troops. Should the Phnom Penh army also make a friendly gesture and withdraw some troops from the border between the two countries.
For this matter, the envoys of Phnom Penh Dynasty were calm. He already knew that only the Lao army had come, and he had not paid attention to such an army. Not to mention, according to their statistics, the number of soldiers who came did not even reach 10000. On the contrary, the Phnom Penh Dynasty had 50000 soldiers at the border.
Whether it is the comparison of numbers or military power, they seem to have an advantage. Under such circumstances, how could they easily step back. "It doesn't matter. The Lao army just wants to show that he is the boss. There can be no war."
This is the answer of the envoys of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.
The envoys of Siam and AVA agree with this answer. In fact, they are also very embarrassed. As allies, they have the common characteristics of advancing and retreating together. However, good relations with Laos, especially business contacts, can make them more money. It seems that they can't afford any kind of loss.
