Chapter 61: From War Criminals to Philanthropists
"Pattani is the most turbulent region in your country." "The area borders the Malay Peninsula, and most of the residents are of the same clan as the Malays, and they have been engaged in separatist activities for many years......
According to Kozo Okamoto, there are three provinces in the southern part of the country that border Malay, namely Pattani, Tao Gong and Jala.
The so-called "prefecture" is the first-level administrative area of country T, which is equivalent to the "province" of China, of course, if you talk about the territorial area, don't say a "province", even if the whole country of T country is not much larger than a province in China.
In fact, the three provinces in southern Thailand should be regarded as belonging to the Malay region, and their residents are closer to the Malay region in terms of blood and faith, and the residents of the two places have a close blood relationship, which is not the same as the mainland of T country, which is dominated by Buddhists.
Historically, Malay has been ruled by many sultans, who were highly self-governing and did not form a highly unified state.
The three provinces of southern Thailand were originally ruled by their own sultans, but they paid tribute to the T dynasty all year round.
Later, the British and Malay colonizers reached an agreement with the T countries, and the two sides divided the regions.
The treaties signed by the colonists on behalf of the colonial people directly laid hidden dangers for later history.
After the withdrawal of the British colonists, violence erupted in the three southern provinces of Thailand, seeking secession.
These separatists, supported by their counterparts in the Malay Peninsula, have destabilized the three provinces of southern Thailand, and the government of T has been militarizing the area for many years.
When he bought the Pattani sapphire mine, Cang Hao had a hidden worry, that is, from the local situation.
It's just that Cang Hao didn't expect that Kozo Okamoto would jump out at this time and use this reason to oppose development.
Cang Hao asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"
"The exploitation of local mineral deposits will inevitably provoke a backlash from the locals, who will inevitably see it as exploiting their own wealth. In this case, southern Thailand is likely to become more turbulent......" After a pause, Kozo Okamoto continued: "Of course, I have absolutely no doubt about interfering in T's internal affairs, and I am even more unwilling to sabotage the cooperation between the two of you. However, there are more than 10 million infected people from southern Thailand to the Malay Peninsula, and it is also a key area for Choshu Pharmaceutical to provide assistance. If there were a larger scale in the region, it would make it impossible for us to continue our work. β
Cang Hao sneered and said, "In other words, you plan to use the vaccine to threaten to stop development." β
"Can't say that. Kozo Okamoto shook his head: "We are businessmen, and we have already paid a huge cost for donating vaccines this time. We can't afford to face security risks at the same time, and if the southern region of Thailand falls into turmoil for any reason, we can only consider stopping donating to the region. β
"Is this ......," Chavali said with great embarrassment, "There is no evidence that the exploitation of the mineral deposits will lead to conflict, and I think Mr. Okamoto is overly concerned." β
"I have to take into account all the possible pitfalls. Kozo Okamoto sighed and said helplessly: "Probably you don't know yet, I just came from JPZ, and when I was in Sihanoukville, I was attacked by militants and almost died. It is not yet known the true identity of these militants, but it is likely that they are the Khmer Rouge, which shows that the vaccine donated by Choshu Pharmaceutical has been dissatisfied with many people, who want the more chaos in Southeast Asia to be better, and I really don't want to take more risks in this situation. β
Chavali said helplessly: "I hope you think about it again, maybe it won't have any impact......
"There's nothing to think about. Kozo Okamoto interrupted Chavali very impolitely: "Again, I don't want to take risks, if I insist on developing the mineral deposits of Pattani, I will have to stop donating vaccines." β
"This ......" Cha Wali was even more embarrassed, looked at Okamoto Kozo, and then looked at Cang Hao and Pang Jindong, and didn't know what to say to hobby.
Cang Hao smiled, and his tone suddenly became very gentle: "I can understand Mr. Okamoto's difficulty, Mr. Okamoto thinks that the development of mineral deposits may endanger the situation in the Pattani area, so it is better to postpone the development for so long." β
"Thank you, Mr. Cang Hao. Kozo Okamoto nodded slightly: "I know that you are well versed in righteousness." β
Cang Hao smiled strangely: "Thank you for the compliment." β
Kozo Okamoto turned to Chawali and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, I just got off the bus, and I want to go and take a break, please arrange a place for me to live." β
"No problem. Chavali immediately summoned a servant, gave a few words, and asked the servant to leave with Kozo Okamoto.
Pang Jindong slapped the table hard: "This old devil!
"I'm sorry......" Chawa faΓ§ade has a difficult color: "I can see that Kozo Okamoto is deliberately causing trouble, but there is no way to ......"
"I can understand that. Cang Hao sighed: "Your country, and even the entire Southeast Asia, need vaccines from Changzhou Pharmaceutical." Vaccines are the most powerful weapon Ko Okamoto has built, and I understand your predicament very well, and in this case you have to compromise. β
"Thank you for saying that. Chavali smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen. β
At this time, a servant came up and whispered something in Chavali's ear.
Chavali told Pang Jindong and Cang Hao: "I'll leave for a while, there are a few documents to sign." β
Cang Hao nodded: "You are busy first." β
When Chawali left, Song Chai said hatefully, "This Kozo Okamoto is simply a bastard. β
"Not just bastards, they're criminals. Cang Hao shook his head and said a little helplessly: "Actually, his true identity is a war criminal in Dongying in the old era. β
Somchai was a little surprised: "Really?"
Cang Hao nodded: "Of course." β
During World War II, Dongying launched a full-scale invasion of the whole of East Asia, but the strategies adopted by different countries were different, so the East Asian countries had different perceptions of the history of Dongying's aggression.
Before the outbreak of World War II, it had a close relationship with Dongying, and after the outbreak of the Dongying War of Aggression, T signed an alliance treaty with Dongying, and Dongying then sent troops to "protect" T.
At that time, the pro-Japanese faction of country T thought that they could realize the dream of the Tai Empire with the help of Dongying's power, and even actively participated in the Dongying invasion.
Even more bizarre things are behind, after China sent an expeditionary force to Southeast Asia to attack Dongying, country T sent troops to cooperate with Dongying's army to attack the Huaxia Expeditionary Force.
After that, the T country became even more crazy, and after entering the northern part of Myanmar, it even launched an attack in the direction of Yunnan in China, but was defeated by the Chinese death squad and returned.
Many people don't know that although China and country T do not share a border, there used to be land wars between the two countries.
This defeat led to the resignation of the pro-Japanese faction of country T, and there was no further action in the later period, until Dongying surrendered unconditionally.
This also means that country T does not hate the Toei people, so it is useless to overemphasize the identity of Kozo Okamoto's status as a war criminal.
However, Okamoto's actions still disgusted Songchai very much: "I didn't expect the people of Toei to be so bad!"
"There are good people and bad people in every country, and it may be the Toei people themselves who will kill Okamoto in the end. After a pause, Cang Hao said again: "You probably didn't expect the worse things that Okamoto Kozo did!"
"What is it?"
"The Super Black Death was originally spread by him. Cang Hao told Song Chai: "The Super Black Death is the result of live experiments conducted by Kozo Okamoto when he was in Unit 731, and Colonel Song Shuang provided financial support to spread the virus throughout Southeast Asia. Now that Colonel Song Shuang is dead, he has appeared with a different face and offered vaccines to make everyone thank him. β
Somchai immediately realized: "He is exchanging political capital for himself!"
"That's right. Cang Hao nodded: "He just said a few words, and he stopped the development of the Pattani sapphire mine, and this political capital is really strong." β
"I feel the need to reveal the truth to the world!" Somchai said without hesitation: "You can't let everyone think of him as an angel, you must let everyone know that he is a demon, and he is the initiator of the Super Black Death!"
Cang Hao smiled bitterly and asked, "Is there any evidence?"
"This ...... But you can say it. β
"That's exactly what I said. Cang Hao nodded: "But I don't have evidence to prove it, and no one will believe it if I say it, so it's better not to say it." β
"What should I do then?" Song Chai hated and slapped the table hard: "Do you want this bastard to continue pretending to be a philanthropist?"
Cang Hao shook his head: "There is no way to do this. β
Somchai was about to speak again, and an attendant came over and whispered something to Somchai in a low voice.
Song Chai reluctantly told Cang Hao and Pang Jindong: "The prime minister asked me to come over, there are a few documents to ask for my opinion, you wait for me for a while." β
Cang Hao nodded: "Okay!"
Waiting for Song Chai to leave, Pang Jindong said thoughtfully: "You just said that it is likely that it is the Dongying people themselves who will clean up Okamoto's cultivation in the end, so it shouldn't be referring to the Red Army, right?"
Cang Hao's words just now, Song Guess didn't pay attention, but Pang Jindong noticed it.
Cang Hao told Pang Jindong: "I think these people in the Red Army can still be used, to a certain extent, they are the descendants of Colonel Song Shuang, and they are naturally our opponents." But before we officially go to war, maybe we can let them kill Kozo Okamoto first, but only after Kozo Okamoto comes up with the vaccine. β
"That's right. Pang Jindong nodded approvingly: "After all, they are all Dongying people, and the Red Army must know more about Okamoto Kozo himself, or that Changzhou Pharmaceutical, than we do." β
"I think that's what Colonel Song Shuang wants. β
Pang Jindong didn't understand for a while: "What do you mean?"
"Master, haven't you noticed that the Red Army is actually a foreshadowing left by Colonel Song Shuang?"
"I see. Pang Jindong smiled and nodded: "Colonel Song Shuang wanted to use Okamoto to cultivate, but he was worried that he would not be able to control these war criminals of the old era, so he secretly supported the Red Army to form some kind of checks and balances. If one day, Okamoto Kozo went against Colonel Song Shuang's wishes, the Red Army would naturally come out to clean up Okamoto Kozo. β
