I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: How powerful is the legion’s armament?

Liu Zhenguo, an employee of the Southwest Area of Hualien Bank, went deep into the hinterland of the Golden Triangle with Zhang Shaoqian as his secretary.

But this is just his status in this private business cooperation investigation team.

His true identity is Major of the Longguo Military Intelligence Department, and he is responsible for accompanying the civilian cooperation investigation team to Jingdong and other places to evaluate the personnel, equipment, and combat effectiveness of this Chinese military armed group that has recently emerged in the Golden Triangle.

In order for the Dragon Kingdom to adjust its strategic deployment in Southeast Asia.

Although the Dragon Kingdom no longer exports to the outside world, it still pays great attention to the surrounding areas.

Especially in Southeast Asia, there are many Chinese people, and the Golden Triangle also has some residual forces after the disintegration of the Burmese coalition forces that they previously supported. If used properly, they can be enough to influence a certain country in Southeast Asia at a critical moment.

So when the legion gradually surfaced and announced that it had occupied most of Eastern Shan State including Jingdong, the Long Kingdom’s military intelligence department immediately paid attention to them and dispatched them in the name of this private business cooperation investigation. Military experts go deep into the opponent’s hinterland to conduct assessments.

Although based on the legion’s rescue of Chinese people from the Long Kingdom trapped in the Golden Triangle and the actions at the border of Mongla County, the legion had a great impression and friendship towards the Long Kingdom, but now after going deeper, Liu Zhenguo discovered that the source of the opponent’s equipment was indeed is a big problem.

As we all know, the ‘Chinook’ heavy transport helicopter is Yingjiang’s iconic equipment, and it is only sold to countries that have a good relationship with Yingjiang.

Even among the Southeast Asian countries, only the Kingdom of Siam has small-scale equipment.

Now, the opponent is not only equipped with ‘Chinook’ heavy transport helicopters, but also A-6 attack aircraft, the retired standard equipment of the Eagle Army.

Liu Zhenguo was very suspicious of the forces behind the Legion.

As for the Mi-24 ‘Hind’ armed helicopter, due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, many countries have equipment, including some Western countries that have good relations with the Eagle Country.

While Liu Zhenguo was thinking, the helicopter formation arrived over Jingdong Airport and began to land slowly under the command of ground personnel.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Zhenguo observed Jingdong Airport from a high altitude through the window.

The small Jingdong Airport has been put under military control by the Army Corps, and civilian flights have been suspended. Civilian aircraft can only be parked in the hangar, and there are several aircraft parked on the airport runway.

Including armed helicopters, transport helicopters, A-6 attack aircraft, and…

“MiG-29¨〃?” Liu Zhenguo couldn’t believe that he actually saw an advanced fourth-generation fighter like the MiG-29 at the airport of a local warlord!

And looking at the opponent’s busy mechanics and ground crew, they are not just decorations, they seem to be ready to attack at any time!

Because Liu Zhenguo is all too familiar with this state.

After the Nighthawk transport aircraft stabilized, the cabin door slowly opened.

Guan Chang unbuckled his seat belt and said to everyone: “Let’s go, the commander is waiting for you.”

A group of people followed Guan Chang off the plane, where an armed convoy was already waiting for them.

However, Liu Zhenguo looked at the MiG-29 fighter jets on the other side of the runway, and found that there were not just one, but three fighter jets, which seemed to be refueling.

Liu Zhenguo also saw a loading truck parked nearby, and ground crews were operating it, seemingly equipping MiG-29 fighter jets with ammunition.

“**…” Liu Zhenguo narrowed his eyes slightly under his glasses and silently counted the ammunition mounted under the wings. He found that these MiG-29 fighter jets had eight weapon hardpoints.

So I guessed the model of this aircraft.

MiG-29M multi-purpose fighter-bomber.

Compared with the original model of the MiG-29 fighter-bomber, this MiG-29M fighter-bomber has an additional internal fuel tank and a multi-function display, which can follow the terrain. Its biggest external feature is that it has eight Weapon hardpoints under the wings.

The initial model of MiG-29 fighter jet only has one weapon hardpoint, and the multi-function display equipped is mainly for air attack.

So this is a ground attack multi-role fighter-bomber.

As a fourth-generation fighter jet, currently only 25 countries in the world are equipped with MiG-29 fighter jets.

Although Laos purchased 29 MiG-29 fighter jets from the Soviet Union, after entering the 21st century, without the assistance of the Soviet Union, Laos’ own economic strength was difficult and it was not enough to support an air force of this size. .

Moreover, Laos is located in the interior of Southeast Asia, and the surrounding countries are beyond his reach. At the same time, the army also has a military defense alliance with the South Vietnamese army.

As a result, all MiG-29 fighter jets were grounded after 2012.

Laos’ fiscal revenue last year was less than US$2.5 billion, of which defense expenditures were only US$20 million, which was not enough to buy two fourth-generation fighter jets.

Liu Zhenguo remembered that there were about 50,000 regular troops in the Laotian army. Even if the militia and reserves that could be drafted at any time were included, the number would only be 150,000.

A country like Laos, with a population of seven million and a stable income of US$2.5 billion per year, cannot afford the MiG-29 fighter support.

But it appeared here in a Chinese military group in the Golden Triangle.

Liu Zhenguo couldn’t help but wonder whether there was corruption within Laos and a few MiG-29 fighter jets were sold.

After the group of people arrived at the convoy and got on the infantry fighting vehicle (alright), Liu Zhenguo’s eyes were still looking at the scenery outside the window from time to time.

From this airport, you can see some general information about the Legion.

In terms of army equipment, it is no longer inferior to that of neighboring Southeast Asian countries. Liu Zhenguo believes that if a legion can be equipped with Chinooks, Hinds, A-10s and MiG-29s, its army equipment must also be good.

It’s just that due to the primeval forest environment of the Golden Triangle, the army probably doesn’t have much heavy equipment.

However, this kind of armament is indeed much stronger than the Wa State Army. The Wa State Army is now being beaten and retreating. It can be imagined that Bao Jiaxiang has already sent out a panic to the Burmese and Long Kingdoms for help.

If the Wa State Army defeats the Wa State Army and becomes the largest separatist armed force in Myanmar, it may not be able to compete with the Myanmar government forces.

He might even participate in the civil war in Myanmar and establish an independent country.
