When Nanxi was taking a shower in the evening, Balu's phone rang.
"Hey, Brother Meng." He was smoking in the garden outside and spoke in a deep voice.
"Is it done?" Wu Meng's voice was a little happy.
"Bullshit! In China, people have to be 22 to get married. I'm still a month away, but they won't let me." The man complained in frustration.
"Hmph." A cold snort came from the other end. "I'm surprised. With your bad temper, if you really got a marriage certificate with Nanxi, you would have bombarded all of our phones with calls and wanted me to set off a ton of fireworks to celebrate for you. Why are you so quiet? Not a single word. Something must have gone wrong."
"It's just a month, I can wait, Brother Meng. This is what you said, set off a ton of fireworks for me. If you can't do it in time, I will blow up your arsenal." The man smiled and pulled his lips.
"Do I fucking owe you something?" Wu Meng's voice rose several degrees.
"Isn't it time for me to take care of your child all day long while you are busy coaxing your wife? You should face forward when you need someone, and face backward when you don't, right?" Baru was relentless and kept grabbing.
"Can you please take good care of these two kids? The eldest is always using guns and cannons, and the second is always pestering my wife. What kind of trouble are you? Huh? You've brought my kids up like this?"
"That's the root of your Wu family. You can't blame me. I've only been taking care of it for a few days."
"Okay, okay, I don't have time to talk to you about this. Come back as soon as possible. I smell something wrong these two days. Zhan Peng has already returned to northern Myanmar. You should also hurry up and get ready to go back to Daqili." Wu Meng suddenly became serious and changed the subject.
"I'm going back to Daqili? You haven't gone up yet. What will you do if I go back to Daqili?"
Wu Meng is now at the center of the power storm. If he is not careful, his entire army will be wiped out. At this time, without a knife that can kill people, he can only be slaughtered.
"I'll let Songchai handle it first. Northern Myanmar is more important than this. The Aung Suw government halted the Songmil Hydropower Station project. There must be a huge conspiracy behind this. This multi-billion dollar project is related to the construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor and even more so to Myanmar's international image in ASEAN. Aung Suw is openly trying to smear Myanmar's national image. We can't let him overdraw Myanmar's national credibility like this."
Upon hearing this, Baru narrowed his dark eyes. "Northern Myanmar's electricity, internet, and other livelihoods rely heavily on China. Infrastructure is already weak, and the people are struggling. Finally, we have a decent project, and he's trying to sever the hopes of the people in northern Myanmar. Damn it, at this point, we're all being raised by his stepmother."
"Alu, if you want to be respected, you must first stand up straight. Aung Sue dared to do this because he believed he had reached a tacit understanding with some armed groups in northern Myanmar. We dared not openly start a civil war. The domestic economy is struggling now. Whoever dares to start a civil war will become the public enemy of the people."
"I understand, Brother Meng. I will go back to Daqili as soon as possible. You should also be careful." After he said that, he hung up the phone.
Nanxi came out of the shower and didn't see anyone, so she went out wearing a shawl.
"Balu, why are you here? Is something wrong?" The little woman walked over and looked at his handsome face which was gloomy, and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, baby, let's go back. It's windy here." He crushed the cigarette butt, stood up, put his arm around his wife's slender waist, and went back to the bedroom.
He was still preoccupied and didn't say a word.
Nanxi took out a hair dryer and said, "Come here and blow dry my hair."
She lay lazily on the sofa, and instructed the man to take out the essential oil, blow it until it was half dry, then apply more oil on it and continue blowing.
"Okay, go to bed early, baby." After blowing her hair, Balu rubbed her delicate face and spoke softly.
"Where are you going?" Nanxi asked curiously.
"I'm going to study the satellite map for a while."
"Are you going to war?" Nanxi sat up from the sofa almost as he finished speaking.
He had a habit of studying maps, weapons and weather day and night for several days before every battle.
Seeing her big reaction, Baru sighed and sat back.
"I'm a soldier, baby. Fighting is my duty. I can't stand by and watch them sell out the country."
Nanxi felt a pang of pain in her heart, and she pinched his palm with her little hand.
"Why is there suddenly a war? Before I came back last time, I saw long lines of people on the streets of Yangon buying gas. Outside of the wealthy areas, many ordinary people can't even guarantee electricity at home and have to use generators. In a country like this, even people's livelihoods are a big problem. Who would have the guts to start a war?"
She has been exposed to war, politics, and international situations since she was a child. Even if she doesn't understand the deep level, she still understands the superficial principles. As an agricultural country with an underdeveloped economy and years of civil war, what the people most desire is peace and stability. The current international situation is generally stable, and countries with a little bit of brains are working hard to develop their economies. Why is it that the Myanmar government only thinks about war?
"You don't understand, honey." The man shook his head helplessly. "The government can never truly represent the interests of the people. They only care about how much they can extort from them. The Aung Suu government halted the hydropower station project with China, which has shattered the people's hopes of a good life and tarnished Myanmar's image internationally."
Brother Meng is still investigating the conspiracy, but I must be prepared for war at any time in advance to prevent any changes. It would be best to first eliminate the local armed forces that are stirring up trouble. This will also give China a sense of attitude. Once the situation stabilizes, there is still the possibility of restarting the project.
"A hydropower station? That's a livelihood project, and it's a collaboration between the two countries. How dare they just stop it? Aren't they afraid of the people making trouble?" The little woman looked puzzled.
"Northern Myanmar is different from China, honey. Most of them haven't even been to school and don't understand what a project is. They only care about why the price of rice has gone up again and why the port is closed again, preventing them from going out to make money. As for whether the project has been stopped and whether it will affect their lives, they don't think about that at all. Just staying alive is already giving their all.
This time, I will not let Aung Suk and Sakun go. These two bastards are trying to drag Myanmar into hell, unless Mengge and I are dead." The man gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"Alu." Nanxi frowned. "I know that most politicians have no conscience, but my grandfather has always said that war is a matter of national survival, and no war is without casualties. As a general, you must be responsible for the war and for your life. To launch an army out of anger is a taboo in military strategy.
The situation in Myanmar is so complicated. If you rashly start a civil war, I'm afraid there will be many people waiting to send you to military court. Moreover, when things go wrong, there must be something wrong. Have you ever considered that this itself may be a carefully planned conspiracy to drag you into it?"
