.

Lin Minxian, chairman of the Fourth Special Zone, finally arrived. Two specially made luxurious explosion-proof vehicles rushed into Corning's territory under the escort of six mid-Jip personnel carriers.

Kang Ning, dressed in casual clothes, personally led Gan Shaoming, Shizhen and Tu Wensheng to welcome him to Baishi Village, the border. After the greetings, he went to Wangang Camp together.

Lin Minxian's trip was really forced. After ten consecutive days of diplomatic efforts, no progress was made: the mainland sternly refused to start a dialogue before Lin Minxian's statement officially abolished the casino; the Jingdong military government, who was too busy to care about the life and death of the Fourth Special Zone, showed a gloating face, and asked frequently what caused the domestic anger. He asked his father-in-law Peng Jiasheng's first special zone, and asked for help because he needed to pass the road of Bao Youxiang's second special zone, and was helpless. At the same time, Bao Youxiang's unit was going all out to fight with the government forces. Even if he was willing to give up his old grudge and lend a helping hand, where was there any remaining materials to support Lin Minxian who has been in a peaceful life of singing and dancing? Only Corning's unit will send a certain amount of fuel and daily necessities every day. Although it is dropping the bucket, it is finally better than nothing.

As the support from the five military trucks of Corning's headquarters has never stopped for half a month, it has gradually won the hearts of the military and civilians of the Fourth Special Administrative Region. Especially whenever the officers and soldiers escorted the car saw the hungry children crying on the side of the road, they would stop the car and generously give them their own dry food and cans for free. They would rather fight back and forth on hungry than watch the tragic scene happening in front of them. In particular, many officers and soldiers also used the convenience of transportation from time to time to bring some salt and cooking oil to the villagers along the highway.

The various righteous acts of Corning's military were soon widely spread among the military and civilians of the Fourth Special Zone. Many people heard that Wangang City and Menglei City had countless jobs to do, temporary accommodation allocated by the government and free medical measures. The troops there treated the people as well as their own relatives. Even the originally barren mountainous areas did not have a single person hungry. Therefore, the originally comfortable Fourth Special Zone began to appear in sporadic people walking and visiting. Many people wanted to see with their own eyes whether the rumors were consistent with the reality.

While watching, only Corning's ministry provided assistance to the Fourth Special Zone. However, the two tank trucks delivered to the ground every day, only enough for the special zone's official residence and military camp. The occasional extra part was quickly sold out by two major hotels and casinos. People and other shops who consumed the inventory could only use pine nuts to illuminate, and even candles became popular.

What's even more terrible is that because the tobacco paste sales agreement secretly reached by Lin Minxian's ministry and Corning's ministry, a large amount of land that originally planted crops had been quietly changed to poppy. Seeing that the harvest was in sight, it had been relying on the mainland to supply grain, but it stopped abruptly at this time. The already small amount of grain stored in stock was quickly consumed. This is likely to trigger a crisis of civil war, forcing Lin Minxian to lower his noble head and go to Corning's ministry to find a solution.

Lin Minxian was amused and laughed at the aid of Corning's Ministry. He knew very well that this was a strategy of Corning's Ministry, and its purpose was also very obvious, that was, to take this rare opportunity to coerce himself to agree to some of their political demands. This was originally regarded by Lin Minxian as an absolute trump card and never showed it to people's capital, but now he has to take it out in exchange for what he needs - to overcome the crisis in front of him.

The convoy passed the hydropower station construction site and Peng Jiafu, who was on the same car as Lin Minxian, pointed to the power station dam on the river, and asked in surprise: "What's going on? Is this a hydropower station? When did it start to be built?"

"It's been almost four months of construction. I heard that after the hydropower station is completed, it will be able to ensure all electricity consumption in the entire Wangang area. Although this power station is only a small and medium-sized power station in terms of scale, it is a big project in our poor place in Myanmar. Alas... At first, I didn't believe they could build it, thinking that they were also shouting slogans and making gestures in exchange for support from local people. Later, Shaoqun walked here several times because of business cooperation. After returning, he told me the progress of the project here in time. I realized that they were here. After inquiring with friends in the mainland, he confirmed that this was a famous hydropower construction and installation team in Yunnan. The construction period was twelve months to ensure power generation. The hydropower construction and installation team was a professional team that helped me survey the Nanlei River. It is very famous in the entire southwest region. I believe that they did what they said and did not speak empty words."

After Lin Minxian finished speaking, he sighed again.

Lin Minxian's voice had just stopped, and the busy construction scenes on both sides of the road made the two of them stop talking involuntarily, and their eyes turned to the car window.

Three kilometers north of Maolin Town, what appeared in front of you was a flat and wide concrete road. The luxury off-road vehicle was driving on it, quiet and fast, without any bumps.

Peng Jiafu put down the thick bulletproof car window in surprise and silently looked at the factory buildings and four-story buildings that were passing away in front of him. He watched thousands of construction workers working hard on various construction sites, fully armed policemen in black uniforms wandering around leisurely to maintain safety and order. For a moment, the shock in his heart could not be described in words.

Peng Jiafu almost subconsciously thought of the first special zone he had occupied for nearly twenty years. For a brief comparison, he suddenly felt that his special zone was like a ragged beggar. He had been mediocre for so many years, and because the situation of several special zones was similar, he didn't feel anything. But now this busy scene suddenly appeared in front of him, which greatly impacted his mind.

The scene in front of him also shocked Lin Minxian. Although he had heard a lot of reports and discussions from his subordinates before, he never expected that it would be as much as he imagined. At this time, Lin Minxian felt deeply worried and even a little scared. He knew that he had been left far behind by Corning, and realized that the strength of Corning's troops had surpassed him far. The original sense of superiority in his heart and the strong confidence when he set off disappeared little by little.

Lin Minxian let out a long sigh to relieve the depression in his heart. Hearing his breath was different, Peng Jiafu turned his head in surprise, and Lin Minxian also turned his face at the same time - at this moment, both of them felt the shock in each other's eyes and the melancholy in their hearts.

Convoy in Corning's Guards

Under the escort of the cheetah off-road vehicle, he slowly drove into Wangang Camp. The grand playground and many large and practical buildings once again deepened the concerns in Lin Minxian and Peng Jiafu. Nearly a thousand soldiers in the training area stopped to watch the huge convoy, and the commanders ordered the majestic orders. The soldiers sweated heavily and looked serious, as if everything that happened around had nothing to do with them. Such rigorous military discipline and style made Peng Jiafu feel a chill in his vest, who had led his troops for many years.

The convoy stopped in front of the division office building covered by towering trees. Chen Pu led the Independent Division commander Guan Zhongming, deputy division commander Gu Yaozu, political commissar Liang Shan and chief of staff Sun Changjie and other generals lined up to greet the school at the gate. Lin Minxian, Peng Jiafu, Pan Shaoqun and others shook hands with Chen Pu and others one by one under the introduction of Kang Ning.

When Peng Jiafu learned that the young and shy chief of staff in front of him was named Sun Changjie, he turned to Kang Ning in almost no conviction and asked: "General Kang, is this General Sun Changjie regarded as the second General Sun Liren by the Kachin Army officers and soldiers, and is respected as the "Little General Sun"?"

Corning smiled and said, "It's him. Actually, he is so powerful, but it's the brothers of Kachin that love him. Haha!"

Peng Jiafu sighed leisurely: "Your army is full of talents! I never expected that General Sun, a general who had developed such a sophisticated and complete combat plan for the Kachin Army, would be such a young hero... General Sun, you are not thirty years old this year, right?"

"Haha, I am thirty years old, thank you for your encouragement! That plan is the crystallization of the wisdom of all brothers, not my personal contribution. The friendly army gave me this title to me makes me feel deeply ashamed. Compared with Senior Sun Liren, I am still far behind." Sun Changjie answered without being arrogant or impatient.

"Okay! OK! It's true that he is a wise general, haha! Mr. Kang has such talent under him. It's such a blessing!" Peng Jiafu laughed loudly.

Kang Ning replied politely: "General Peng has been awarded too much... Chairman Lin, General Peng is invited!"

The guest and the host entered the large conference room on the west side of the first floor, sat down to have tea and whispered.

Nearly thirty minutes passed, and neither side mentioned the cooperation matters. Lin Minxian and Pan Shaoqun carefully asked Kang Ning and Shizhen about construction issues, while Peng Jiafu was excited to talk to Chen Pu, Guan Zhongming and Liangshan, and seemed to have forgotten the purpose of meeting between the two sides.

After hearing Shi Zhen’s introduction, Lin Minxian asked in surprise: “Brother Shi, then, your security force is completely in line? Why not set its headquarters in Wangang but choose Meng Lei?”

Shi Zhen smiled and said, "Basically, it can be said that the security forces have an important responsibility, which is to be responsible for border security and anti-drug and anti-smuggling. The reason for its headquarters is that Meng Lei is the center of several nearby counties and has been responsible for managing the four surrounding counties for more than ten years. In our current work, Meng Lei is a key area for infrastructure construction, and the speed and scale of construction exceed that of Wangang.

Now, the new city north of Menglei River has begun to take shape, and a new city will be built by the end of the year. The old city and the new city are connected through the North-South Bridge being built. Chairman Lin and Vice Chairman Pan can go to inspect and give some advice if they have time."

Lin Minxian looked at his assistant Pan Shaoqun in surprise. Pan Shaoqun shook his head with a wry smile: "I haven't had a chance to go to Menglei for several months. Every time I do business, I either meet in Baishi Village on the border, or choose to be in Wangang City, and I don't have time to see it in other places."

"Haha! No wonder! Mr. Kang, you have done a very good job of keeping confidentiality! The timing is even better. When you fight to the death outside, no one cares about looking around, you have achieved such great results quietly. Even my neighbor is kept in the dark. I really admire you!" Lin Minxian laughed.

Kang Ning replied apologetically: "To be honest, we are just lucky. We can get the development time for the past six months, thanks to Chairman Lin's strong support. Without the strong support of you and Vice Chairman Pan, many of our materials would not be transported in at all, and the construction speed would not be so fast. If we drink water and remember the source, our brothers will not forget Chairman Lin's generous support. Last month, the Daqili government and the Mengpaya garrison visited our Mengyang County and highly praised our Mengyang construction. The Daqili government is currently negotiating with Jingdong to strive to expand the Mengpaya to Mengyang highway within the year, so as to drive the economic development of the Daqili region and strengthen economic and trade ties with Thailand and our region. This expansion plan will probably be approved soon."

"Oh? The government is going to build roads? This is a good thing. Maybe our Fourth Special Zone can benefit from it!"

Lin Minxian laughed, but felt very sudden in his heart. He knew that Corning was showing him a trump card, which means that Corning's ministry had obtained the default and support of Jingdong's military government, and it was likely that some kind of cooperation plan had been reached with the Myanmar military government. This plan seemed to connect the economic development of the entire region and the prospects were very attractive. However, Corning's ministry's plan certainly did not include its fourth special zone, otherwise it would not have told himself when the expansion plan was about to be finalized that if this matter was really achieved, his fourth special zone would be abandoned, and with the secret obstruction of Jingdong's military government, it would be likely to become a "forgotten" corner.

Lin Minxian, who had a smile on his face, still had a warm conversation with Corning and others, but his heart became heavier and heavier. He clearly felt the meaning from Corning's implicit and polite words: Corning's troops are now connected to the military government in the west and rely on the mainland in the east, and will not worry about their survival for a long time.

In addition, Lin Minxian also knew from the smile of Corning's hidden needles in the Jinli Corning that Corning's Ministry currently has many choices and a smooth development path. It seems that the military government has secretly acknowledged the autonomy of Corning's Ministry and supported it in action - for example, the expansion of the road from Mengpaya to Mengyang, for example, the Jingdong military government is reluctant to rebuild the Nanlei River Bridge that has been blown up for more than half a year...
