Chapter Ninety-Eight, Shanguo Village (II)
Sorry, it's been a busy few days)
"Sir, Shanguo Village is in the Shanguo Mountain Group, the entire Shanzhai has a sphere of influence of hundreds of square kilometers, the main area of the cottage is about 3 square kilometers, the permanent population is more than 6,000 people, the main ethnic groups are the Shanyue, Bang, Gram, and other ethnic minorities. There is no owner in Shanguo Village, but there are four heads, three of whom are the heads of the mountain, Bang and Gram peoples, and the other is the head people jointly elected by several ethnic minorities. These four leaders controlled all the rights of Shanguo Village, and the hundreds of armed forces in Shanguo Village were controlled by four people. Gona said.
"Isn't it? The population of 6,000 is only more than 100 armed?" Chen Shihao was a little surprised, didn't he say that men over the age of 12 and under the age of 80 in the mountain country were all soldiers? The lowest of the 6,000 population was 1,000 armed to be decent.
"Sir, Shanguozhai is just a semi-independent town, if it weren't for the complex terrain of Shanguozhai and the fact that there is nothing valuable, it would be really a gesture for our Central Army to destroy him, but the cost of sending troops is disproportionate to the cost of harvesting, so we let such a small town be in a semi-independent state. However, since it is known that the other party has a disobedient heart, it is necessary to restrict the development of the other party's armed forces. When Guo Nai said this, he suddenly woke up and said: "Sir, the hundred armed forces in Shanguo Village are saying that there are hundreds of guns, and carrying machetes and the like can't be considered armed at all. ”
Chen Shihao nodded a little abruptly, it turns out that this is the case, only those who have guns can be regarded as armed, no wonder the territory of hundreds of square kilometers, but the strength of five or six thousand people is only very powerful with a hundred or so armed, dare to love that the arms smuggling in this mountain country is very strictly controlled.
"What are the special products of Shanguo Village?" asked Chen Shihao curiously.
"There are no special products, if there are, only a hundred or so armed Shanguo Village, even if it occupies a large geographical advantage, it will be ransacked by those wandering horse gangs or scattered routs, where is it the turn to get Shanguo Village so comfortable and free. Gona laughed.
"Not at all, how does Shanguo Village live?" Chen Shihao asked in surprise.
"How else can they live, either by growing some poor food, or by hunting in the mountains, and the main income is the opium poppies that are secretly grown, what other income can they have. Gona said with a nonchalant expression.
"Uh, poppy?! Didn't you say that all the poppy fields had been completely destroyed before the Third World War?" Chen Shihao was shocked, because of the geographical location and historical relics, this place had become the world's opium exporter for a long time, and it took a lot of means and efforts before the mountain country announced the complete elimination of poppy fields, why did it pop up again?
Guo Nai hesitated for a moment, and then said with some bitterness: "As early as the time when the previous president ruled by power, the poppy fields were not completely destroyed, let alone now, as long as the common people are still so poor that they can't even eat, the hard currency of poppies will definitely be planted!"
Chen Shihao nodded silently, although he had never experienced a life of extreme poverty, he also knew that when the cultivation of opium poppies became the hope of survival, it was really impossible to condemn why such a source of drugs should be cultivated!
Later, everyone consciously didn't talk about those helpless things, and instead began to talk about the terrain, fruits, herbs and so on of Shanguo Village. In this way, the group finally caught up with Ne Wen and Guo Min, who were waiting on a cliff.
Looking at the cliff in front of him, Chen Shihao was a little stunned, because rows of wooden stakes were nailed to the waist of the cliff, and the wooden stakes were laid with wooden planks, which spread to the top of the mountain several miles away. This is the so-called cliff road?!
"Uh, this is actually a suspended plank road?!Why don't you open the road below?" Chen Shihao looked at the valley under the cliff with some caution, and found that the plank road was dozens of meters above the ground, and the valley below was a dense jungle.
Guo Nai couldn't answer Chen Shihao's question, he only knew that there was a plank road here, as for why he wanted to build a plank road instead of a road, it was not for him to understand.
However, the leader-like packer smiled and said: "This official, there is miasma in the valley below, so it is not passable at all, and even if there is no miasma, the ground there is also a place of seepage, which is also impassable, so the ancestors spent such a huge amount of strength to build this plank road." “
"Water seepage?" Chen Shihao looked at the valley with dense branches, and couldn't help nodding, the climate here is humid and hot, the trees are dense, and there are many fallen leaves.
"Sir, after this plank road, you can see the checkpoint of Shanguo Village, which relies on this plank road to ensure safety, but also because this plank road blocks the communication of Shanguo Village to the outside world. Gona immediately sells her knowledge to redeem her ignorance of the previous question.
Chen Shihao nodded, reminded everyone to pay attention to safety, and then walked on the plank road carefully, he couldn't help but be careful, because this plank road is only one meter wide, the left side is a bare cliff, and the right side is a miasma valley dozens of meters deep, and there are no handrails on both sides, which really makes people's hearts tighten. If it weren't for the fact that the planks and stakes were very strong, I am afraid that the adjectives would have to be added step by step.
However, Chen Shihao saw the five packers carrying large packages on their backs, walking this plank road with a much more relaxed demeanor than walking on the mountain road, which is worthy of being the head snake of the ground, and in their opinion, this kind of road is much easier to walk than the mountain road, because there is no need to climb up and down.
Everyone was careful all the way, and it took about an hour to reach the end, but at the end, Guo Min and Ne Wen, who opened the road, stopped, and raised their guns, because at the end of the plank road, there were actually two fortresses made of sandbags, which just caught the exit of the plank road, and a horse full of iron wire, so big and horizontal at the exit, four strong men with old-fashioned singles and a rifle, while two of them were hiding behind the fortress and aiming at the end of the gun.
"Is the comer friend or foe?!" shouted a strong man with a revolver standing straight behind the rejection horse.
Ne Wen had a stalk in his neck, and he wanted to open his mouth to scold, since this guy became a central army from an ordinary youth, in the face of these indigenous armed forces, he somehow had a superior mentality, and now he saw that this guy in front of him in a mountain people's costume actually asked himself about this regular army, it was too much!
However, he was pushed by Guo Min and pushed down the corner of the cliff, Guo Min appeared at the front past Ne Wen, and said with a friendly smile: "The one who came is a friend! We are soldiers of the second lieutenant of Bahrain, and I believe that the order of the second lieutenant of Bahrain has already been transferred to you, right? The second lieutenant of Bahrain is behind, let us go quickly!"
The strong man with the revolver, with a flash of light in his eyes, made a gesture, a young man, immediately got up and ran back, Guo Min didn't say anything when he saw it, and Ne Wen, who originally wanted to scold, saw that the veteran didn't speak, and he, the newcomer, naturally didn't speak.
"Second Lieutenant of Bahrain, what is the second lieutenant of Bahrain coming to take up the post or something, I don't know, I'm just an ordinary soldier of the Shanguo Village Guard, and I don't know about these big people. But since you belong to the Central Army, then bring me your documents to show me, I've heard that there are many bad guys who will pretend to be the Central Army and loot villages. The revolver man said with a playful look.
Ne Wen was already angry, and he dared to doubt our identity? Without waiting for Guo Min to speak, he shouted: "Check the documents? What qualifications do you have to check the documents of my head official? I don't know a single mountain person! You check a fart!"
The sound of pulling the bolt sounded, and the three young men had already aimed their guns at Ne Wen with angry faces, and Ne Wen was naturally not to be outdone, raised his guns to aim, and shouted very arrogantly: "You buns of dirt buns! With a few singles, you dare to block my patriarchal officer? Seeing Lao Tzu's gun, there is no M16! An additional 30-round magazine! You have the kung fu to shoot one shot, as long as you don't kill Lao Tzu at once, Lao Tzu can shoot 30 rounds! My patriarch has brought a class of people this time! All of them are equipped with such M16s! If you dare to kill Lao Tzu, you will wait to be slaughtered by my patriarchal officials! I really think that more than 100 guns are so amazing!"
Chen Shihao was a little speechless, this Ne Wen is really the best product, not leaving his own commander, not leaving his M16, not only dragging himself into the water, but also directly threatening the escorts on the other side, if his legs are not trembling, it is definitely a character, but it is a pity.
Thinking of this, Chen Shihao blinked suddenly, he was too old-fashioned, right? That Ne Wen was obviously a man in his twenties, and he was only a 16-year-old boy, so he actually commented like an elder? Wouldn't it be to bring back the mentality of a lord from another world? Shaking his head, Chen Shihao took out his military ID card and letter of appointment and handed them to Guo Min.
The three young men on the opposite side were obviously frightened by these words, looking at their singles one, looking at Ne Win's M16, the three of them were a little cringe, and they fired a shot by themselves, which was enough for the other party to deduct a magazine, and most importantly, at most, kill the first two, and they would have to be killed by the people behind them, and then the whole cottage would be affected!
No wonder they think so, because the order of a Bahrain second lieutenant who is about to serve as the military and political chief of Shanguo Village has long been brought in by the merchant, and when he heard the news, there was no less noise and discussion in the village, and he specially sent people out to investigate, but the result made everyone frown, because this Bahrain second lieutenant was actually directly appointed by the Mountain National Security and Development Committee, that is, the highest authority in the Mountain Country!
This news is enough to show that this Bahrain second lieutenant has a very deep background, and it doesn't matter if he offends him, but he must not be killed! Otherwise, Shanguozhai will definitely be destroyed! In the past, the Central Army allowed the existence of these semi-independent towns because the cost and harvest were disproportionate, so they were left to fend for themselves, as long as they did not raise the banner of rebellion. If you kill the officers of the Central Army, especially the officers who are very promising, then the annoyed and angry Central Army may directly send bombers to bomb them!
