Chapter 92 The mantis stalks the cicada (additional update)
In the southeast, 160 kilometers away from Mandalay, is Taunggyi, the capital of Shan State.
Domino was sitting here lazily on the sofa, looking at the large screen of the mural, the adjutant sent by Wu Kaile, and the ancient Xu and Wei snake.
She smiled: "The fish is hooked."
Maung Gu, who had received the instructions long ago, chatted with the other party for a long time, and then used an attitude of refusing to welcome, making the other party feel that he had a chance to persuade him.
After receiving a series of benefits, Maungku 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 the secret encouragement from Yang Mengjiao, Domino and others, Wu Kaile, who felt that he was the one favored by the public, finally could no longer hold back his ambition.
In the early morning of November 18, 2019.
Wu Kaile, who was worried about the long nights and long dreams, immediately took action and personally led three divisions to attack Pyinmana.
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 inside cooperation of Maung An and others, Wu Kaile's army quickly took control of the railway and blocked the leakage of information.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the temporarily requisitioned train, carrying Wu Kaile's guard regiment, Wu Daoda's 501st Division and equipment, quickly drove southward.
However, Wu Kaile was not a pioneer in this journey.
The vanguard is Wu Yao's 502nd Division. This regiment uses armored vehicles and temporarily requisitioned motorcycles to advance along the road that is almost parallel to the railway.
You read that right, the vanguard is the 502nd Division on this side of the road.
The main reason for this situation is that the railway condition in Hongsawady is very poor and the speed is almost a turtle speed.
Even if the valley plain between Mandalay and Pyinmana is relatively flat, the 240-kilometer journey still takes 6 to 7 hours, averaging about 35 to 40 kilometers per hour.
However, armored vehicles and motorcycles on the road can reach 60 to 70 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than the railway.
The other 504th Division also went to Pyinmana 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 in the armored vehicle and kept looking at his watch and map.
The road distance from Pinmana is about 245 kilometers. It is expected that they will arrive in Pinmana in about 4 hours, and it will be dawn by then.
Time beats slowly minute by minute.
When encountering civilian vehicles along the way, soldiers used the exercise as an excuse to persuade them to leave.
until 6:44 am.
"Report, we have arrived at the outskirts of Pyinmana."
After hearing the scout's report, Wu Yao immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered to his subordinates: "Act immediately according to the previous arrangement. We will have breakfast at Binmana."
"Received in one piece!"
"Second group..."
With an order, the regimental commanders and battalion commanders, who had long known their mission, quickly rushed into the city and took control of the station, airport, television station, and agency office buildings.
Since it was just dawn, many people were sleeping, so they didn't react at all, and they were surrounded with confusion.
The atmosphere in the city suddenly became solemn.
The two garrison divisions stationed nearby seemed not to notice the abnormality at this time. They not only kept the soldiers in the camp, but also blocked radio and mobile phone signals.
Wu Yao took the intelligence collected by the Military Intelligence Department and quickly invited those targets to his temporary military camp one by one according to the list above.
Looking at the frightened targets, he showed a smile and told the adjutant: "Keep an eye on me. If you let one of them escape, I will shoot you."
"As ordered." The adjutant replied seriously.
At about ten o'clock in the morning that day, the slow train finally arrived at Pyinmana Railway Station. Wu Kaile quickly got off the train with his cronies and the 501st Division.
Wu Yao personally greeted his arrival at the train station.
Seeing Wu Yao and the 502nd Division completing their tasks effortlessly, Wu Kaile patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction: "Wu Yao, you did a good job this time."
"It was all cultivated by the general, and my subordinates dare not take credit." Wu Yao quickly replied.
Wu Kaile was even more satisfied, but at this time he was more concerned about the situation of the two garrison divisions: "By the way, are there any abnormalities in the two garrison divisions?"
"No, they are still stationed in Levi Town in the southwest. I have sent 3 regiments to monitor them."
"Very good." Wu Kaile was overjoyed, then turned to his adjutant and ordered: "Arrange the people from the TV station immediately, I want to hold a press conference."
The adjutant had already prepared: "In about half an hour, we should be able to use the TV equipment in Pyinmana."
Just after the adjutant left.
Wu Yao continued: "General, I was worried that someone inside the city would take risks, so I moved all targets to the temporary military camp of the 502nd Division."
"Well, I can rest assured that you will do your job." Wu Kaile also felt that Wu Yao did a good job.
More than half an hour later, the TV station staff debugged the equipment under coercion and inducement.
After Wu Kaile finished filming in the studio, the TV station staff quickly edited the recorded content and began sending signals to TV sets in the country.
In the TV screen, Wu Kaile's expression as if she was confident of winning was already visible to Domino who was lurking in Levi Town. She immediately used Messenger Dragonfly to send action instructions to the insider.
at the same time.
Through the press conference on TV channels, the news spread throughout Hongsawady.
This sudden situation surprised everyone, but at the same time they took it for granted. After all, the ups and downs of Hongsawady in the past few decades have made the local people accustomed to this kind of thing.
Unlike the numbness of the common people, big families, big businessmen, and small warlords began to stir up undercurrents.
Among them, Yangon's reaction was the most intense.
Talkers from more than a dozen local families held a meeting that afternoon.
On the surface, this meeting was to discuss how to deal with Wu Kaile and his family. In fact, 7 of the 13 big families were already controlled by Domino, and the remaining 6 families were just kept in the dark.
Therefore, the entire discussion topic at the meeting revolved around how to compromise Wu Kaile's family. At the same time, some families proposed to secretly win over the Maung Ku Army and the Wu Gang Army in the south to achieve the purpose of checking and balancing Wu Kaile.
The six families who were kept in the dark also felt that this was the best plan now.
As for rescuing the people on Binma's side, they were not in a hurry. Although there were members of their family there, it was useless to worry about this kind of thing. Instead, it would become a bargaining chip for Wu Kaile to threaten them.
Big families are such a reality. If they can get the best of both worlds, that would be great. But if they have to choose one or the other, then they will most likely choose interests instead of giving up interests for the sake of their clan members.
The weakness of these people is on full display at this moment. As long as their own lives are spared, everything can be compromised and negotiated.
Domino took advantage of this and made all parts of Hongsawady appear eerily calm at this time.
Because most people are waiting and watching, and no one wants to be the first person.
The intelligence personnel Wu Kaile had previously arranged in various places also quickly reported back the situation in various places.
After seeing this information, Wu Kaile finally felt relieved.
Wu Kaile, who was misled by this illusion, thought that the situation had stabilized. He only had to convince all parties one by one, and he would eventually become the master of Hongsawady.
