Chapter 144: The Kokang Republican Army

Li Chong pulled out a dagger, endured the nausea, and carefully pulled it up on the ground according to the trajectory of the bullet that entered the forehead of the short axeman.

After a while, Li Chong found the warhead, picked it up with a dagger, and gave it to Cang Hao: "It should be this bullet that killed him." โ€

"This bullet is different from what I used. Cang Hao looked around, except for this mysterious bullet, he didn't find anything unusual: "After we left, someone else came and killed the short axeman!"

Li Chong asked suspiciously, "Who could have done it?"

"I don't know ......" Cang Hao shook his head incomprehensibly, imagining many possibilities, such as the Red Devil Group killing people, or Zhou Dayu's infighting.

But each possibility was eventually ruled out because each side lacked motivation.

Axeman is a brutal serial killer, but no matter how much blood he carries, at least no one wants his life right now.

"Then there is such a possibility...... Cang Hao said worriedly: "Other forces have appeared!"

Li Chong hurriedly asked, "What force?"

"I don't know. Cang Hao smiled helplessly: "Otherwise, there is no way to explain why someone killed the short axeman." โ€

"Could it be that someone framed you? such as Hong Miaoxue and Pang Jindong's gang?"

"If someone else died, they could frame me, but this thing really can't be framed. Cang Hao shook his head and said slowly: "I am in the same boat as Zhou Dayu and his gang, and sooner or later we will start killing, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before I kill the short axeman!"

Li Chong scratched his head: "Then who will do it?!"

"Forget that. Cang Hao sighed: "Let's go back, I still have to call Meng Yanglong and send someone over to clean up the scene." โ€

"Wasn't Meng Yanglong's phone tapped?"

"I can't say anything about Mr. Du, but it's okay to say it. Cang Hao shrugged his shoulders: "Because Meng Yanglong has been wiping my ass all the time!"

"That'...... said" Li Chong smiled: "That's right, Meng Yanglong is such a big official, and he is responsible for wiping your ass!"

Cang Hao is calm and light on the surface, but he is very angry in his heart, because he can't figure out who killed the short axeman.

At the same time, there was another person who was even more popular, it was Hong Miaoxue.

The Red Devils have a base in the Golden Triangle region, where poppies are planted all over the mountains.

Two hours earlier, the Kokang Republican Army (IRA) in the neighbouring area had launched a surprise attack that routed the Red Devil group's armed forces guarding the base, and then set fire to all the opium poppies.

The Golden Triangle is actually a general name, with a large area of more than 200,000 square kilometers and more than 3,000 villages and towns of various sizes, covering the territory of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos.

The complex terrain and isolation from the outside world and the presence of various armed forces have been the world's largest opium-producing region for decades.

However, in recent years, thanks to the efforts of the international community, especially the Chinese side, a lot of work has been done, and all forces in the Golden Triangle have begun to ban drugs.

In addition, the drug market has changed over the years, with traditional drugs such as opium becoming narrower and narrower, and various chemical synthetic drugs on the rise.

As a result, the Golden Triangle is no longer what it used to be, and opium poppy cultivation has fallen to its lowest level in more than 100 years.

At present, the Red Devil group is the largest of the forces that still insist on opium poppy cultivation.

As for the Kokang Republican Army, its origins were an army that had retreated in the Chinese Civil War decades earlier, crossing the border and hiding in the Golden Triangle.

Just like other armed forces here, in order to survive, they chose drugs and embarked on the road of using drugs to feed the army and protect drugs with the army.

Later, after absorbing the local population and annexing other armed forces, this retreating army was no longer a defeated army of the wolf bรจi, but became stronger, evolving into the Dare Republican Army.

Later, the Kokang Republican Army launched an uprising, defeated the government of the country where it was located, and carved out a piece of land to establish its own state.

This means that the Kokang Republican Army has evolved from an underground drug trafficking force into a regular national defense force, and in this way, it must be cut off from the drug business.

Today's Kokang Republican Army has the most resolute anti-drug attitude, but it will not show mercy when drugs are found.

(Chu Ci note: For the story of the Kokang Republican Army, see the prequel to this book "The King of Special Warfare Soldiers".) Although the Red Devils base is adjacent to the Kokang Republican Army, it is not on the territory of the other side after all, and the two sides have always been at peace.

Unexpectedly, this time, the Kokang Republican Army launched a cross-border attack, destroying the peace between the two sides.

This made Hong Miaoxue very angry, first, because she lost a lot of money, and secondly, because the Kokang Republican Army had a very close relationship with Pang Jindong.

Pang Jindong's life is a legend, not only the total annihilation of the Spartan soldiers left a legend, but the subsequent life is even more legendary.

Back then, after Pang Jindong left the mercenary team, he served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army.

It was Pang Jindong who led this army across the Golden Triangle, founded his own country, and then got rid of drugs.

Therefore, the Kokang Republican Army copied his business, and Hong Miaoxue went directly to Pang Jindong Xingshi to ask the guilt: "Brother-in-law, what the hell is going on?"

Pang Jindong didn't understand at all: "What's going on?"

Hong Miaoxue asked angrily: "The Kokang Republican Army burned thousands of acres of poppies on me, what do you mean, you want to go to war?"

Pang Jindong smiled: "You mean this." โ€

"Brother-in-law, don't say you don't know about this. โ€

"I really don't know. Pang Jindong spread his hands and said very helplessly: "That's right, I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army, but that was many years ago." After the independence of the Kokang Republican Army, I resigned, and I have lived a reclusive life all these years, and you don't know it. โ€

"Doesn't it have anything to do with you?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. Pang Jindong said very seriously: "I am a soldier, and war is my responsibility, but politics is not." After independence that year, the internal political struggle of the Kokang Republican Army was very fierce, and I was too lazy to get involved, so I resigned. โ€

Hong Miaoxue nodded angrily: "I know this." โ€

"To live in seclusion is to not ask about the past world, over the years, I have no contact with the Kokang Republican Army, and I don't know anything about the changes over there. After a pause, Pang Jindong said word by word: "If you don't say it, I really don't know that they fired at you!"

"But after all, you have a lot of cronies in the Kokang Republican Army, and many generals were single-handedly picked up by you!"

"So what?" Pang Jindong said lazily: "They don't know my relationship with you, and they don't know that I have re-emerged from the mountain, I estimate that this crackdown may just be a normal anti-drug operation, don't think too much!"

"Can I not want more?" Hong Miaoxue knocked on the table and said, "Should you say hello to the other side, tell them who I am, don't touch my goods!"

"How can I say hello?" Pang Jindong smiled coldly when he heard this: "Back then, it was I who took the Kokang Republican Army to the right line and no longer touched the dirty drug trade. Could it be that today I will go and tell them that Pang has figured it out, and I think I still make money by making drugs, so I went to fight the Red Devils?"

Hong Miaoxue was speechless for a while: "You ......"

"The reason why I help you is only because your sister has a request on her deathbed, and there is no other reason. Pang Jindong paused for a moment, and sneered again: "In other words, I helped you purely for personal reasons, and I don't want to involve other people!"

"Do you know how much I have lost?" Hong Miaoxue stared, looking at Pang Jindong's appearance and still very annoyed: "First Beacon Mountain, now there is such a thing, and there are so big losses one after another, how do you let my business continue?!"

"Let's take this opportunity to turn around. โ€

"You say turn around?" Hong Miaoxue was really angry, usually she didn't dare to contradict Pang Jindong, but this time she didn't care at all: "I have so many brothers under my hands, what can I feed if I don't have income, they will rebel and kill me as soon as possible!"

"Isn't it profitable to do business......

"Of course make money!" Hong Miaoxue said angrily: "Simply, I'll also sell mobile phones, register a brand and call it rice mobile phone, maybe it's really profitable! Xiaomi mobile phone is garbage, my rice must do better!"

"Raise the bar with me!" Pang Jindong finally became a little angry: "I sue you, another reason why I help you is that you promised to turn to the right line in the future! If you can't fulfill this promise, don't say that the two of us will break up!"

As soon as Pang Jindong became angry, Hong Miaoxue's attitude immediately softened: "I didn't mean that......"

"I don't care what you mean!" Pang Jindong interrupted Hong Miaoxue's words: "Although the action of the Kokang Republican Army this time has nothing to do with me, it is not impossible for me to say hello to them and add some fuel to your fire!"

"Okay......" Hong Miaoxue sighed helplessly: "You say, what should I do, I completely listen to you." โ€

"Heroin is a drug that has no future, one is too addictive, the second is expensive, and the third is too risky......" Shaking his head, Pang Jindong said: "You should have a clear feeling that sales have gradually declined in recent years, and profit margins are getting smaller and smaller......"

"I've decided to specialize in synthetic drugs. Without waiting for Pang Jindong to finish speaking, Hong Miaoxue said directly: "I invested in a factory, and soon it started operating to produce ecstasy." โ€

Pang Jindong asked coldly: "And then?"

"Brother-in-law, you have to believe me, I will turn to the right thing. Hong Miaoxue sighed: "But I want to take it one step at a time!"

While the two were talking, Xu Jianjun walked in and nodded at Hong Miaoxue.

Xu Jianjun is the renegade undercover agent, Pang Jindong has no good impression of this person, and asked Hong Miaoxue: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Ten days later, a new shipment was coming, and I had to figure out how to make sure it was safe. After a pause, Hong Miaoxue told Pang Jindong: "This batch of new goods is produced by that base, and it has just been harvested, and what the Kokang Republican Army burned was the poppy seedlings that were planted not long ago. โ€
