Kokang is equivalent to the definition of a province in China within the territory of the noodle shop. It includes various regions. The largest "provincial capital" is called Xinjieshi, with thousands of square kilometers and a permanent population of 140,000. From the perspective of the Celestial Dynasty, it is only at the county level, but in the noodle shop, it is an important trading port city leading to the Celestial Dynasty.
In the past, Kokang was under the control of armed drug traffickers. The main source of income was the cultivation of opium poppies. Then the government launched an all-out war against it to eradicate this economic model, but the alternative crops provided could not restore the original lifestyle.
As a result, conflicts between the public and the management of noodle shops have emerged endlessly. Later, people found a new business model, which was to open tax-free casinos to attract rich people from China to gamble. There was a lot of people's voice for a while, and it was even called "Little Austrian Gate", but it was because China stepped up its crackdown on outbound gambling. , making their lives stretched too.
This is also one of the reasons for the constant conflicts between the Kokang Allied Army and the noodle shop government army. After Luo Xing took over the duties of the commander-in-chief of the Kokang Allied Army, this conflict has turned into a full-scale civil war.
The reception team traveled 10 kilometers and stopped at the entrance of Xinda Market. The huge billboard erected on the side of the road was particularly eye-catching, with a smiling face of a young girl wearing very little clothes in Kokang as the background, in Chinese and Kokang Written, "Welcome to the noodle shop boldly!" slogan.
At most, it was only a vulgar advertisement, but now there is a hole in the face of the "girl". Looking forward along the hole, the ruins of a building have not been cleared out 500 meters away in a straight line. Apparently a masterpiece of armor-piercing shells.
"You two, we are here." The general Loli in front, accompanied by Wang Bo, came to Shen Ming's vehicle, and respectfully invited the two to get off.
"Minister Luo, what I want to see is the most authentic scene in the city. I haven't entered the city yet, why did I get it?" Lan Die asked politely, it seemed that after the murderous performance, her temper also restrained. few.
"Because I am worried that you two will say that we are fake, so I invite you two to walk in with me to have a look at the current Xin Street Market, and treat it as a walk." Loli smiled slightly and led the way.
Lan Die put the camera on his shoulder suspiciously, and Shen Ming also picked up a small DV to follow.
The convoy and other soldiers were ten meters away. The only one who served as the guard of the crowd was Wang Bo, who carried a Bayi-gun assault rifle on his shoulder.
Luo Li didn't have the airs of a general, but was more like a kind tour guide, introducing enthusiastically.
"This is the new market, and it was also the main battlefield between us and the government army a month ago. Because of the careful planning and perfect firepower equipment, the battle ended after only one hour. The government army retreated completely, and more than half of them were captured. My allied forces have also officially taken over the city. As you can see, the battle did not cause much damage to the city. According to the latest statistics, the number of civilian deaths in this battle for the transfer of power is 17, and the number of wounded people It was 68 people. You must know that most of these casualties came from the incompletely trained noodle shop government army, and the random shooting by the police who usually only collect black money. It is not a bragging, the casualty can be controlled to this extent, it is Even the Pentagon of the U.S. imperialists should send people here to learn from them, and look at their mess in the Middle East." Luo Li walked through the smooth streets ostentatiously, and the place was cleaner than before the war.
It was also the first time for Landie to be in a war-torn place, and she was shocked by the sight in front of her. This is completely different from the war zone she imagined. Not only did she not see any corpses, she never even saw bloodstains. Holding the camera, she kept taking 360-degree pictures of the surrounding scenes. Shen Ming was also recording with DV. What he couldn't tell Lan Die was that everything he saw in front of him was an illusion, and the special white phosphorus smell in the air proved that fighting At that time, the rebels even used white phosphorus incendiary bombs. The scorched black marks on the ground showed that the corpses were burned and stuck to the ground. It was not easy to remove these.
There are also the helpless expressions of those street vendors. Although they are all open for business and have customers, every time they sell something, it is as painful as cutting them with a knife.
During this kind of war, as a rebel, the first thing to guarantee is your own supply. This kind of supply in the Middle East is funded by a wealthy tycoon with some common beliefs. But in a remote place like a noodle shop, plundering is naturally the most normal way.
Of course, in order to make the plunder look more civilized, those customers wearing military uniforms are not using ordinary banknotes, but bonds invented by the Confederate Army themselves. Money in the bank is nothing more than piles of waste paper.
"There are so few people. According to the data, Xinjie Market should have been crowded with people, and the daily turnover should exceed 10 million, but now it is really deserted here..." Lan Die also did enough information, and took some photos of her. After looking like a model posing for a photo, he questioned.
"Miss Landie, please understand that this is a period of war after all, and foreign trade cannot be opened yet. We must keep the situation under control." Luo Li turned around and explained.
"There is another question. As far as I know, the current commander-in-chief of the Kokang Alliance Army is named Luo Xing. Ms. Luo Li became a general at such a young age, but what is the relationship with the commander-in-chief Luo Xing?" Lan Die's intuition is also very good. It's sharp.
"That's right, Luo Xing is my father, and I'm his only daughter, but this news hasn't been made public, it's to protect my safety. But Miss Landie, please understand that I'm not nepotism, but rather It's me who really has this ability. Want to try our Kokang specialty food? I know a good restaurant, which has the taste of my childhood, let's go and try it together, and it will be a welcome for the two of you." Luo Li said lightly Turn your attention away from your own body.
In a small noodle shop, two war correspondents had their first meal in a foreign country. Lan Die was a little embarrassed by the warm hospitality of the boss, but Shen Ming knew that all this was just a performance. May I ask which country's boss will give customers more beef noodles than noodles? It's fake at first glance!
After lunch, Luo Li took Shen Ming and Lan Die to a hotel that was the best in Kokang. The huge hotel was resplendent and magnificent, but there were not many employees left, and it was even more difficult to find the guests. This became the palace for the two of them.
There are actually follow-up reports on the situation of the Kokang war all over the world. As many as 30 war reporters working on various fronts around the world are following up on this report, but all of them are in the camp belonging to the noodle shop government army. Only Lan Die and Shen Ming were invited to report on the rebel side in detail, which can be called exclusive news.
Even many foreign media have connected to Yangshi, hoping to get the latest information from them. This is unprecedented in the history of Yangshi's international news reports.
Staying in a luxury suite that used to cost 2,000 RMB per night, Landie has no sense of reality. Watching Shen Ming squatting alone on the carpet adjusting the camera equipment.
According to the rules, later today, they will conduct a direct connection with the interview with the YangTV News Network, which cannot be missed.
"Xiao Ming, do you think these are real?" Lan Die sat by the window and asked Shen Ming's name for the first time.
"What's the matter? The noodles are delicious, the streets are clean, you haven't seen so many dead bodies, no blood, you're safe, and you'll be on TV soon, you'll be famous, and you won't be proofreading typos for anyone anymore .” Shen Ming said without looking back.
"No, what I want is the truth, not a set for someone else's photo. War can't bring peace, and it can't be without pain. What they try to hide is what I want to discover. I want everyone See them, see those ugly and unbearable truths!" Lan Die said firmly.
"Believe me, you are not ready to face the truth." Shen Ming turned around and persuaded with a smile. A girl who was so shocked to vomit when she saw the corpse is not suitable to come to such a place of right and wrong.
If possible, Shen Ming really wanted to pack and post Landie back to China at this moment, but the fact is that she has already been involved in this chaos.
Not long after Shen Ming and Lan Die arrived, a small transport plane with a red cross pattern landed on the Kokang Military Airport, and a large number of medical equipment was transported down by the soldiers in line.
And medical volunteers from 16 countries also got off the plane with their own bags on their backs. They are part of humanitarian aid to treat the injured people in the war zone and ensure that they can receive effective treatment.
Pluto in a white coat is undoubtedly the brightest star among this group of people. He has also participated in such assistance before, and his identity as an expert is unquestionable. Of course, it is completely reasonable for such an expert to bring a beautiful young nurse. of.
Wan'er and Xiao Yi got mixed into the medical team in this way, and came to the Kokang area safe and sound.
"It's really unfair, the same nurse's outfit, why do I wear a one-piece gown, but you wear it as a miniskirt?" Wan'er complained with a small mouth.
"Don't say such things, we are serious nurses now." Xiao Yi came to the enemy-occupied area, and Shen Ming was not around, which made Xiao Yi a little nervous.
"Don't worry, the medical team of the Red Cross is protected by the United Nations. Anyone who dares to disrespect them will cause trouble for the whole world." Pluto comforted the two companions.
But at this moment, a group of soldiers in military uniform with live ammunition rushed forward and pointed their guns at the medical team of as many as 30 people, and their luggage and bodies were searched by special personnel. Banknotes, all turned into contraband, were robbed in the past.
A certain French doctor was still protesting, but before the guard could straighten his tongue, he was knocked down with a gun butt.
"It seems that others don't like the United Nations you mentioned? Dear." Wan'er raised her hands with a smile, cooperating with the male soldier's body search very obediently. She has already remembered the guy's face, and these hairy hands will definitely be there. It was chopped off shortly afterwards.
