Chapter 605 New Ceiling

Chen Chen originally thought that Xiaoyu's purpose in coming to Mengka was to explain to him clearly the mission about Donny Davis. After arranging everything, she would leave in a hurry like every time before.

But what he didn't expect was that Xiaoyu had no intention of leaving at all.

After the two chatted, it was dinner time. Before Chen Chen could ask, Xiaoyu said:

"You make arrangements for dinner for my entourage, and then we will have a meal together."

"No need to make it too grand, but bring all your people."

"As for the location, let's go to the Vientiane Hotel."

"Also, I will stay in Monkha in the next few days. You don't want to go to Myitkyina for the time being. Just stay in Monkha with me."

".Accompany you?"

".Accompany me!"

Xiaoyu glared at Chen Chen, and then continued:

"You haven't been back to Pubei for a long time, and the messy interpersonal relationships here need to be properly dealt with."

"Don't think that it's over once you get things done. It's easy to conquer a country, but it's difficult to defend it."

"As a soldier, and even as a commander, you are very strong."

"But as the CEO of a group, I don't know how far you can go."

"So, I have to give you an assessment on behalf of the organization first."

Hearing this, Chen Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"What, if I fail the assessment, can you still replace me?"

"That's not the case."

Xiaoyu shook his head and continued:

"But we can obviously arrange for you to have more powerful deputies to help you run this group well - our cooperation has reached this point, so we can't even lose this priority, right?"

"Yes, of course, you are the major shareholder."

Chen Chen spread his hands and changed the subject:

"But why do I feel that this is just a random reason you made up to stay in Mengka?"

".hehe."

Xiaoyu stopped talking, and Chen Chen said reluctantly:

"Look, you're in a hurry, aren't you?"

"Forget it, I won't force you."

"Tell me, who will be arranged to accompany you tonight?"

".Can you shut up that stinky mouth of yours and don't force me to slap you in front of Shi Dakai and the others?"

Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and made a neck-locking gesture, and then said:

"Excluding all outsiders tonight, just a simple, um family dinner."

"Think about who you should call. Don't call those like He Bangxiong and He Bupa for the time being. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand."

Chen Chen nodded, sighed and said:

"It's a pity that Bao Qi hasn't come back yet. It's a pity that White Dog died in Syria. Otherwise, we would have been able to gather together today."

"You just have to pity the white dog."

Xiaoyu shook his head and said:

"Bao Qi's plane took off from Hong Kong four hours ago. Someone will pick him up. He will be there in about an hour."

".Did you arrange it?"

Chen Chen asked in surprise.

"Who else but me?"

Xiaoyu raised her head reservedly, but Chen Chen always felt that she was a little bit asking for credit.

It's like a little girl who secretly bought 4090 for her boyfriend. She looked at her boyfriend's surprised expression and said, "Who else but me?"

"Thank you."

Chen Chen said sincerely.

"snort."

Xiaoyu didn't answer, but opened the door and walked out.

Chen Chen followed closely behind her. He first called Shi Dakai and asked him to make arrangements. Then he quickly followed Xiaoyu and asked:

"It's still another hour, so where to go now?"

"Shall I go to the company first?"

"Don't go, come for a walk with me."

Xiaoyu slowed down and walked towards the outside of the villa.

The villa area at this time is very different from the villa area just "occupied" by Dongfeng Group. Three planned family buildings have been built, and special buildings for defense purposes have also been deployed. Even the one next to the Mekong River Most of the port has been built, and it is completely connected to the inner harbor that Chen Chen had envisioned, specifically for berthing assault boats.

The two of them walked along the road in the villa area, or Mengka base, to the outside of the wall. Along the way, Chen Chen saw many faces that could be recognized at a glance with northern characteristics standing at the sentry post.

Those people had never seen him as the "leader", but for some reason, whenever they walked past them, they would solemnly salute Chen Chen.

"To be honest, I feel a bit like a leader now."

"But the question is, how do they know me?"

"They don't know you, they know me, brother."

Xiaoyu looked at Chen Chen helplessly and amusedly, and explained:

"When you were not in Pubei, my office hours in Mengka were longer than Shi Dakai's."

"These people were specially transferred by Shi Dakai. They have been responsible for the security here for some time."

"They don't know who I am or where I come from, but they still recognize this face."

"Otherwise, do you think I didn't work while I was at the rear?"

".I thought you were always with YN."

Chen Chen said slightly ashamed.

When he was in Syria, a large number of high-intensity and high-intensity combat missions almost occupied his energy. He finally squeezed out a little time, and most of it was spent on those "big things."

As for Xiaoyu's work, where she is and what she is doing, in fact, I really don't care much.

Looking back now, every time I called Xiaoyu, it seemed that I was just asking her for things and information.

How much pressure she was under and how difficult the situation was, but she didn't even ask.

Good guy, the scumbag turns out to be me?

Chen Chen decisively shut up and stopped talking. Xiaoyu glanced at him sideways, sighed and said:

"I know what you're thinking."

"But, actually, that's not important."

"I'm not here to complain to you, I just want to take you out for a walk."

Having said this, Xiaoyu paused for a moment.

Then, she turned back, pointed to the base in the distance and asked:

"Look at your base and tell me, what do you see?"

"There is a problem with the setting of the machine gun posts. There are two overlapping crossfire settings."

Chen Chen thought for a moment and answered seriously.

".You. Forget it."

"Think deeper and further, and then tell me."

This time, Chen Chen stopped joking.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said:

"New Order."

"That's right, the New Order."

Xiaoyu finally nodded and said with a hint of teasing:

"I thought going to Syria to fight a war would knock your brains out. Seriously, the completion of this base is the complete implementation of the new order in Pubei."

"Shi Dakai should have told you that all armed forces in Pubei are now disarmament."

"For the Hebuppa family alone, the proportion of disarmament has reached more than 30%."

"In the past, this would have been an unimaginable improvement."

"But now, it's really happening."

"And the reason why it happened, to a large extent, was because of the completion of your base."

"New order and new technologies are impacting Pubei's huge 'arms market,' and the 'militia organizations' of the old era are rapidly dying out."

"All warlords are transforming in the direction of professionalism. What I can tell you is that a large number of warlords, including He Bupa, He Bangxiong, and Peng Deren, are learning from you."

"The Mongkha base is the most powerful military base in the entire northern Shan State, but it is not the only one."

"In the future, such bases will be spread throughout Pubei, replacing the scattered and loose civilian armed forces and becoming the fulcrum of the security situation in each region."

"Can you imagine what will happen if this trend continues?"

Xiaoyu's question made Chen Chen fall into deep thought. After a long time, he tentatively answered:

"Corporatization of the military?"

"This is just one of the issues, not the key issue."

Xiaoyu shook his head and explained:

"So what about corporatization, so what about warlordization? Even corporatization is better to manage than warlordization, because when there are financial resources and there is no need to rely on 'taxation' as the main means of income, the relationship between the various armed forces conflicts will become more cautious."

"The most important thing is that all the 'leaders' and all the 'big forces' in this land will eventually enter the capitalization stage."

“And once it enters capitalization, a problem will be completely exposed.”

"Do you remember what we talked about the last time I took you for a walk?"

"Well, I said I wanted an air assault brigade, but you didn't give it to me."

Chen Chen scratched his head and replied.

".I really want to give you a big mouth. Is this all you remember?"

"No. I still remember you saying that my idea at the time was to drink poison to quench my thirst."

"So we changed and began to rely on trade routes to develop trade. At present, most of the income of all forces has been decoupled from the casino and entertainment economy."

"Yes, that's it."

Xiaoyu nodded and continued:

"Now, the problem here is about to develop into the second stage."

"You used trade to destroy the original economic order, but a new economic order was not established."

"You are still drinking poison to quench your thirst, but the concentration of the poison has dropped."

“Going back to the question just now, once we enter the capitalization stage, the backward labor base here will become a huge contradiction.”

"At the same time, the 'war gene' here cannot be easily eliminated, which means that conflicts between warlords will evolve into conflicts between warlords and ordinary people."

"You broke a ceiling, but built a relatively higher ceiling. So how do you break this ceiling?"

"I have no idea."

Chen Chen spread his hands and said frankly:

"What you can't do is something that I can do with a hammer?"

".What are you insinuating?"

"I really don't."

Chen Chen shook his head helplessly and said:

"If we follow your deduction, Pubei will eventually return to chaos."

"Then tell me, how can I stop this chaos?"

"I can't tell those people, don't disarm, just give ordinary people a bite to eat, okay?"

"Do you think anyone will listen to me? Do you think they will recognize this logic?"

"I have already said that it is capital, and profit is the first priority. They cannot support such a large number of people when there is no need to fight."

"---Wait a minute."

Chen Chen suddenly reacted.

"What on earth do you want to do?!"

"Haven't you thought about it?"

Xiaoyu looked directly into Chen Chen's eyes and said:

"There can be many warlords in Pubei, but there can only be one company in the whole Pubei."

"This company can have many subsidiaries, but there can only be one chairman."

"This is impossible."

Chen Chen shook his head slowly and replied:

"Wa State cannot accept this future. If they want to accept it, they have to fight."

"They will accept it."

Xiaoyu said solemnly without the slightest hesitation:

"You don't need to think about how to do this, because this is not something you can decide."

"All you have to do is to kill Donny Davis according to the plan and get the identity you deserve."

"I will arrange everything for you afterwards."

"I understand."

Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

He looked at the familiar face in front of him, and in a trance, he felt that this face was a little strange.

She has also grown up.

She is no longer the little girl with a big hole in her lung who was still mumbling that she was a Thai overseas Chinese.

But, is this not bad?

Perhaps the only bad thing is that I may have to spend more time to erase this little bit of strangeness.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen said:

"You are like an adult now."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiaoyu slapped Chen Chen directly.

But the slap did not fall on his face after all, but only on his uninjured shoulder.

Then, Xiaoyu said seriously:

"You are also an adult now, so you should be more mature in your words and deeds in the future, understand?"

"Otherwise, if someone catches you, it will be a big problem!"

".Haha."

Chen Chen pursed his lips disdainfully and said:

"You are the only one who can catch me."

"Let's go, we have said what we should say, let's go back."

"Okay."

Xiaoyu nodded, and the two walked side by side towards the villa.

As they stepped into the wall, the roar of helicopter rotors suddenly came from the sky above their heads.

Chen Chen looked up and saw a bird helicopter landing lightly on the helicopter pad in the base. Obviously, this was the helicopter that Xiaoyu mentioned to "pick up people".

He walked quickly to the direction where the helicopter landed, and stood on the edge of the pad before the helicopter stopped.

The door of the helicopter opened, and a person who had not been seen for a long time finally appeared in front of him.

Bao Qi.

He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and one of his arms had completely disappeared, and even a large piece of his shoulder was cut off, which looked quite tragic.

However, there was an excited smile on his face.

He rushed to Chen Chen's direction and hugged Chen Chen fiercely with one hand. Then, he stood up again and said to Chen Chen seriously:

"Captain."

"I can return to the team!"
