Chapter 342: Finding Sakura?
Tigers and animals quickly fell to the hemp.
He Zilong walked into the tiger room and opened a few large boxes in that corner. There was a guess before opening it, as soon as it was opened, the eyes were a mit. It was not gold, nor valuable jewels, but a mass of black stuff, and some ledgers and letters.
Luo Dong stepped forward and sniffed: "It's opium ......"
The other onlookers also changed color, and when they heard this thing, especially the Chinese, they felt uncomfortable.
He Zilong looked at the account book and the letter again, and then passed it to Li Dawei and others to read: "These pirates really contacted the drug dealers in the Golden Triangle, but they just met for a short time, what do you say, you can help transport drugs, and I planted some of them here, I guess I am going to ...... by the way."
Speaking of this, He Zilong looked at Li Dawei curiously and asked, "Brother Dawei, you are a soldier, and you are half a special soldier, and you know many people." Tell me, why does that Golden Triangle exist for so many years, and it is still an almost open drug base, and no one cares......
"The historical reasons for this are too complex...... It's mainly the sins of Britain, France, and the United States!" Li Dawei smiled bitterly.
Before the 19th century, there was no drug problem in the Golden Triangle, and the aborigines here had a hard time because of the high mountains and dense forests and traffic jams. But the climate is suitable, the land is fertile, and it's also a place to live and work.
However, with the arrival of the British powers, this peaceful land has changed. In 1840, Britain launched the Opium War against the Qing government, and successfully poisoned the Chinese with opium. At that time, more than 10 percent of the Chinese smoked opium, and Britain relied on the opium trade to form a trade surplus with the Qing government, reaping huge benefits.
During the Qing Dynasty, there were too many opium smokers in China, resulting in a shortage of opium trade. As a result, the British colonists took a fancy to the treasure land of Burma, where the climate and soil were suitable for opium cultivation, and it was very close to China.
At this time, Britain had already gained a foothold in India and was planning to expand its territory in Southeast Asia. After three Anglo-Burmese wars, Burma fell completely.
France also coveted it, so it quickly organized manpower and material resources to traffic opium on a large scale from the "Golden Triangle" to the three countries of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, which were under the control of France, and obtained tax revenues. France was one of the main culprits in the expansion of the opium trade.
After the end of World War II, France withdrew from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, and the United States took over. Because the armed forces of the Red Revolution were active in all countries of the Indochina Peninsula at that time, the United States, as the most active in defending the capitalist system, certainly could not sit idly by.
So they discussed with the local tribes, and the United States helped these poppy-growing tribes sell drugs, and these tribes used armed forces to exterminate the red forces active in the region.
Of course, the United States initially wanted to sell drugs to other countries, but only to transport them. But the ideal is full, but the reality is cruel!
This way of quenching thirst by drinking water has also caused the United States to suffer a lot. Because, the United States consumes 60% of all drugs in the world. In other words, it's like lifting a stone and hitting oneself in the foot. The drugs have hurt the Americans themselves!
The Golden Triangle region is home to the world's most ethnically complex country, with 135 ethnic minorities recognized by the government alone, second only to Russia. This is followed by more complex political, military and managerial issues.
The national armed forces in these states are self-reliant and administratively independent, and the government has no control over them.

Not only that, but gambling and pornography are often found where there is a drug deal, and the Golden Triangle is particularly in line with this characteristic. There is not only drug trafficking, but also lucrative industries such as human trafficking, erotic business and illegal gambling.
Don't look at the Golden Triangle area, which is mostly dilapidated bamboo buildings, but this place is a good place for the rich to have fun. Pornography, gambling, drugs and human trafficking in the area have formed a tight industrial chain!
Here's how the industry chain works. First of all, the armed forces in the Golden Triangle bought and sold, kidnapped women, and then controlled them through drugs, forcing them to receive guests, and these rich guests enjoyed themselves before spending a lot of money in gambling halls.
"In the innermost part of this, there is a secret door...... "Suddenly, Luo Dong over there made a new discovery.
"Why are there secret doors everywhere......" He Zilong was speechless for a while, but he quickly went over to look.
It was in a place that looked like a wall, and a large rock blocked the view, but when you turned to the other side, you could see that it was a hollow stone. At the back is a secret door entrance that leads inside!
Along the façade of the ground floor there is a corridor with a row of rooms with high windows filled with funnel-shaped planks.
The surrounding rocks are white, probably for fear of the captives escaping from the prison, and the rocks and trees are painted white, and there is nowhere to hide even in the dark night. Under the light, it can make He Zilong and others see the scenery inside very clearly.
Hearing someone coming down from above, the people held in the secret door looked up and made noise. However, I look a little weak and scared!
"Jingran is all imprisoned women......" Everyone was taken aback.
Nearly 40 million people worldwide become victims of human trafficking every year, about 70% of whom are women, and human traffickers earn as much as 150 billion US dollars (about 569.595 billion black oo) every year. Human trafficking networks span the globe, especially in India, Libya and Myanmar.
"Take them all out, oh, call Sakura, Misiko, and the two stewardesses next to Mr. Zhao what bullshit in. They are women, and there are some things that we men are not easy to do, but we can help on the side......" Looking at these women whose clothes were tattered in front of them, obviously for the abduction of what kind of slave they had come to, He Zilong waved his hand, only feeling a little blocked in his heart.
Where the sun doesn't shine, darkness is everywhere.
Drug trafficking, robbery, and trafficking in women, these pirates are really evil. Seriously, He Zilong really wants to kill the remaining dozen or so pirate captives by surprise.
However, they couldn't do it in full view. It seems that they can only be handed over to the international tribunal later!
"Carry all those drugs outside, and then burn them all in one fire......" He Zilong quietly commanded as he passed by Luo Dong.
"All ......?" Luo Dong asked, "Actually, you can make medicines, of course, the amount is not very much......
"Okay, you keep a little bit as medicine, and dispose of the rest. But only when we are on the island, as soon as we leave, we must destroy them all, otherwise we will bring these things back to civilized society, and we will not be able to tell if it is not shit under our buttocks......" He Zilong thought for a moment and changed his words.
"Got it......" Luo Dong nodded.
"What about those animals......" Before leaving, Luo Dong suddenly asked again.
"It's all released, well, the dying tigress who let drugs harm, humanitarian euthanasia, little tiger, hehe, I'll raise ......" Speaking of the little tiger, He Zilong's face finally showed a rare smile.
