Peng Jiafu asked sharply: "Your General Zhang's family is very powerful, do you not take our Special Economic Zone too seriously?"

Zhang Qifu shook his head and said: "After so many years, although everyone has seen little, but they can understand each other, who I am Your brother will know very well, I will not harm the Chinese, but you, the big smoke in China is all from you, right? I said, opium can be engaged, when Britain and the United States used opium to harm us, we will take revenge back, all my goods are sold to Europe, America and Japan, what about you? What about the Wa State?"

Peng Jiafu said: "Now we are talking about your crossing of the line, and the opium matter has nothing to do with you. ”

Zhang Qifu glanced at Peng Jiafu a few times, and said with a smile: "Jiafu, how about helping me? I'll give you a division commander." ”

Peng Jiafu seemed to be insulted, his face turned red, and he said, "You want to lure me to betray my judgment and my brother?"

Zhang Qifu shook his head and said: "We are all considered to be boiled out of the national army, in fact, we are a family, now with the change of the situation, it is more and more difficult for the Chinese, and it is a matter of time before the union is united, but I am not the same as you." How long can we stay united to maintain the status quo?"

In fact, the local armed forces in Burma were all troops of the original 93rd Army of the National Army, and after the collapse, they were scattered to various places, forming local armed organizations, and later in the 50s, they were abandoned by the Taiwan government of the National Army, lost their supplies and became a lonely army, and they could not return to their homes and countries, so they began to grow opium poppies for the sake of life.

At the gate of Zhang Qifu's barracks, there are two big signs with red letters on a white background, on the left are: The national army has become a lonely army, the lonely army has become a remnant army, and the remnant army has become a remnant army??, and on the right is: Ten years of Northern Expedition, eight years of anti-Japanese war, four years of civil war, victory or defeat is a bear.

Zhang Qifu, Peng Jiasheng, Peng Youxiang, these people are all the descendants of the lone soldiers of the national army, and the armed forces in their hands also come from here. At that time, the national army also set up the Huangpu lecture hall here in northern Myanmar, and all the local armed forces were created by the national army model. Zhang Qifu and Luo Xinghan, who first took refuge in Myanmar, were still classmates in the lecture hall.

The Peng Jiasheng brothers were defeated twice and fled from Kokang, with the cooperation of Luo Xing Khan and the Burmese government, the first time Peng Jiasheng fled to Luo Xing Khan to control the Kokang region, and opium also entered the territory in large quantities through southern Yunnan at that time. Opium poppy cultivation is mainly in areas controlled by the National Army, from northern Myanmar to northern Thailand and northern Laos.

Zhang Qifu's actual control area at this time was across Myanmar and Thailand. He has also been fighting with the government forces of Myanmar and Thailand.

……

Peng Jiafu asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Qifu said: "I want to take care of the places you borrow, Xingwang and Hongxing two places to lend me, I have a lot of use." I'll compensate you for the poppy losses here. There weren't many people here, and you actually couldn't control it, and your people dispersed without even firing a shot, and they weren't as strong as Kachin's fighting power.

In fact, among the five alliances of you, only the Wa State is a little stronger, and the rest of you are a little weaker, to be honest, I'm not very optimistic. ”

It stands to reason that everyone is of the same origin and engaged in a de facto alliance of Chinese forces, so how could Zhang Qifu be left behind? You must know that Zhang Qifu's military strength here can overwhelm the two provinces of Burma and Thailand. But because he was so powerful, no one looked for him, and then he later joined forces with the Burmese government to mix sand into his troops.

Zhang Qifu was really sad and disappointed when he finally surrendered to the Burmese government, he was originally a person who valued feelings.

Peng Jiafu asked: "So you want to forcibly occupy my two districts?"

Zhang Qifu glanced at Peng Jiafu and said: "If I forcibly occupy it, I won't discuss it with you, how much effort will it take for me to directly occupy Lao Cai? Can China send troops for you? Or can Wa State and Burma save you?"

Peng Jiafu said: "Don't bully others, you General Zhang is strong, and our SAR is not a vegetarian, so it will be a big deal." ”

Zhang Qifu said: "You go back, I'll wait here for a few days, let your brother come over, the main reason is that I was a little inconvenient in the past, and I have something to talk to him." ”

Among several major forces, Peng Jiasheng is the oldest, 31 years, Zhang Qifu is 33 years, and Peng Youxiang is the youngest, 49 years. Among the three people, Peng Jiasheng is the loudest and most belligerent, Zhang Qifu is the most powerful, and Peng Youxiang plays the best in politics. There are many other small forces, all of them Chinese, but they are too small both militarily and territorially.

Two days later, Peng Jiasheng rushed to Xingwang and came to Zhang Qifu's camp.

Zhang Qifu still respects Peng Jiasheng, and invites him to eat a fairly hearty meal, and then the two of them drink water and talk in Zhang Qifu's tent.

"I'm telling the truth with Jiafu, I'm going to borrow the place of Xingwang to the Red Star, on the condition that there is an annual poppy subsidy and a military escort, and I will guarantee your safety in the north during the borrowing period. Zhang Qifu didn't go around in circles, and went straight to the topic.

Peng Jiasheng said: "It's a bit dangerous for you to bring the team here, it's too far away from your headquarters, I'm afraid that if you can't rush to help, the government army will be cheaper." What are you risking so much for?"

Zhang Qifu thought for a while and said: "I am ready to unify Shan State, and if we want to solve the opium poppy problem, we must first solve the living problem, but will the Burmese government give us a chance?

How long can they tolerate us Chinese? When he waits for him to slowly wear out us and is forced to defend, it is better for us to prepare early to strengthen ourselves, anyway, it is to fight, this government has not yet come to power by military coup? We Chinese want to live and live well, we can only fight, how many years have you been fighting? Now that I have this strength, why don't I try?"

Peng Jiasheng slowly lit a cigarette and said, "Do you want to establish a channel with the country?" He shook his head: "It's not the same as before, and I can't get any substantial help over there, it was originally to aid the Communist Party, but now we have all left the Communist Party of Burma. ”

Zhang Qifu said: "I just want to leave a way back here, if we win, let's all sit down and talk, and if we defeat Lao Tzu, we will retreat over there, we are all Chinese, at least there is no problem in surviving." ”

Peng Jiasheng nodded slowly and said: "There is a precedent for this, then it is still sympathetic to the refugees, and there will be no problem in receiving and resettlement, but then you have to be prepared to farm and become a farmer, and it is not so easy to make a comeback." ”

Zhang Qifu said: "Big brother, we are all going to be old, I am almost sixty years old, how many years can I toss? ”

Peng Jiasheng thought for a while and said, "I'll remove my people." I wish you good luck. In other words, no matter whether you win or lose, the Special Economic Zone is a Special Economic Zone, and this place will always be a Special Economic Zone. ”

Zhang Qifu laughed and said, "If I win, then there will be special zones everywhere, and when the time comes, please come out and help me, big brother." ”
