Chapter 0484 Digging the Canal
As the prestige value exchanged for Gu Yu by spending a lot of reputation points, Hong Keng's orders to Gu Yu are unswervingly carried out to the end. He began to follow Gu Yu's instructions and work hard for the growth of Gu Yu's prestige.
The first thing Hong Keng did was to closely monitor the area under his jurisdiction, in addition to guarding the border to prevent outsiders from infiltrating, he also strengthened supervision internally to prevent people from secretly planting opium poppies without his knowledge, and at the same time implemented a repressive policy for those who dared to touch drugs.
Relying on an iron fist alone is definitely not enough, Hong Keng also used the money given to him by Gu Yu to buy a large number of materials and distribute them to the residents in the jurisdiction for their farming and living.
Within the scope of his jurisdiction, Hung Keng has strong safeguards, and he is not worried that his measures will not be implemented, nor that they will cause a backlash. However, Hong Keng's jurisdiction is limited after all, and he has already solved the drug problem in his jurisdiction, even if a series of measures launched in the future can make the people here praise, it is difficult to cause a large number of responses from the outside world, and the impact on the growth of Gu Yu's prestige is minimal.
Realizing this, Hong Keng quickly set his sights on the land outside his jurisdiction. Hong Keng, as one of the drug lords in the Golden Triangle, is actually not the biggest drug lord, his influence in the Golden Triangle is actually relatively low, his original strength is also weak among the many drug lords in the Golden Triangle, and surviving in the cracks is a true portrayal of him in the Golden Triangle. And before kidnapping Gu Yu, he had just experienced a fire, and his territory was at least half smaller than before.
Now if you want to expand your influence and let the name of the big boss Gu Yu resound all over the world again, you need to grab all the lost territory, not only that, but after snatching back the lost territory, it is best to grab the territory of other drug lords, and then forcibly implement a comprehensive anti-drug policy in the Golden Triangle, and then push all the credit to Gu Yu's head, so as not to worry that Gu Yu's prestige will not skyrocket again.
Hong Keng immediately held a pledge meeting, and first in the name of revenge, he began to attack the drug lord who had robbed him of his territory. With the weapons and money supported by Gu Yu, especially the support of the biochemical and mercenaries secretly deployed by Gu Yu, the offensive went very smoothly. In less than a day, all the original seized territory was snatched back, and then, Hong Keng commanded his subordinates to continue to capture the original territory of the drug lord.
This drug lord named An Lalie is a ruthless character in the Golden Triangle, and he has a lot of people under him, and the factory he controls supplies more than ten tons of drugs to the world every year, making him a veritable drug lord. He has not met an opponent here in the Golden Triangle for many years, and he originally learned that Hong Keng actually invited the United Nations Drug Control Agency to watch the scene of the destruction of drugs, and he hated Hong Keng to the core, and he had already tangled several drug lords and formed a joint army to encircle and suppress Hong Keng, but he didn't expect Hong Keng to take the lead and capture his territory, he was immediately annoyed and angry, and commanded a tangled coalition army of more than 20,000 people, ready to encircle and suppress Hong Keng's army.
Hong Keng's side used the drone to detect the movement of the combined army early, and after discovering the whereabouts of the combined army, the drone immediately launched an attack on the combined army, and the drone dropped a number of bombs, which were filled with not lethal explosives, but all of them were narcotic bombs that Gu Yu exchanged from the system store.
These tranquilizer bombs exploded directly in the Combine Army, releasing a gas that could quickly anesthetize people, and almost in an instant, all the 20,000 or so Combine troops were defeated.
Hong Keng swept his army and captured all the 20,000 defeated coalition troops, and then Hong Keng continued to command the army to expand in all directions and occupy the territory of other drug lords.
The 20,000 combined army is basically half of the strength of all the drug lords in the Golden Triangle, and the remaining 10,000 or 20,000 people are distributed in the territory of several drug lords, and they are almost vulnerable under the attack of Hong Keng's army.
Hong Keng's army was able to have such a large combat power, in addition to the strong support of the mercenaries, the large number of weapons and equipment provided by Gu Yu was also indispensable.
In just a few days, Hong Keng cleared all the areas occupied by drug lords in the MD of the Golden Triangle, and captured more than 30,000 people, all the drug lords entrenched in the MD area of the Golden Triangle without exception were all arrested, and even the backbone of their command, except for a very few who happened not to be there and escaped this catastrophe, the rest of the backbone were all arrested.
After that, Hong Keng held a press conference to announce his actions and results in MD, and once again reiterated that under Gu Yu's inspiration, he will comprehensively ban drugs in all areas under his control, and he sincerely invited the United Nations Drug Control Agency and international human rights organizations to send people to supervise his comprehensive destruction of drugs, and see how he interrogated all the captured drug lords and backbones.
For a while, the world shook again, and international organizations such as the United Nations Drug Control Agency, as well as dozens of large international media in the world, sent personnel to MD to visit Hong Keng.
Under the supervision of these world-class media and the United Nations Drug Control Agency, all opium poppies and marijuana have been eradicated in the areas controlled by Hong Keng, all the equipment for producing and selling drugs has also been smashed, and all the finished and semi-finished products and raw materials of drugs have also been destroyed.
Not only that, but Hong Keng also took people to watch how he settled the farmers who used to grow opium poppies for a living. One of the main reasons why the Golden Triangle has become one of the world's top three sources of drugs is that it is very suitable for opium poppy cultivation, and the cultivation of other crops has all kinds of problems, and farmers may not even be able to fill their stomachs.
The United Nations Drug Control Agency is very worried that the farmers here and Hong Keng are just a freshness, and now they have destroyed all the drugs, but the day after the fact, they want to make money again, and then they will sow the seeds again, and it will not take a year to make a sea of opium poppies here.
Hong Keng took these people to visit the farmers here to reassure them. You must know that Gu Yu not only provided Hong Keng with dollars, gold, weapons and mercenaries, but also provided him with a large number of crops exchanged from the system. The characteristics of these crops are somewhat similar to those of the opium poppy, and they are very suitable for growing in the environment here, and their economic value is not low, and the market prospect is broad, and they can completely replace the status of the opium poppy.
Seeing this, the officials of the United Nations Drug Control Agency were very happy, but in order to prevent it from happening, they made a request to Hong Keng, that is, can they send people to stay here for a long time to monitor the current situation of drugs here?
In this regard, Hong Keng agreed without a price. Other drug lords have to grow opium poppies, naturally they are greedy for the huge profits brought by drugs, but he is different, he is a cyborg, he does not have the desire of ordinary people that cannot be easily satisfied, and it makes no difference to him whether he is a poppy or not. It's just that Gu Yu needs it, and he will naturally thoroughly implement Gu Yu's order and comprehensively ban drugs in his jurisdiction. The United Nations Drug Control Agency wants to send personnel to station, which is tantamount to helping to publicize the results achieved here in disguise, and naturally there is no reason not to agree.
Unlike the United Nations Drug Control Agency, which focuses on the drug problem here, other world-class media outlets, as well as international human rights organizations, are more concerned about how Hung intends to house the prisoners.
You must know that Hong Keng arrested 30,000 or 40,000 people this time, and these people are enough to form a small town. Hong Keng can't kill all these 30,000 or 40,000 people, but it is impossible to keep them in custody, after all, so many people are locked up together, not to mention the rest, just eating, drinking, Lazar, etc. is a big expense.
For these captives, Hong Keng directly adopted the method of killing the first evil and the main backbone, and for the others, he just asked them to write a letter of guarantee and let them leave. Of course, this is only on the surface, secretly these people who have been let go have been marked, if they go back, honestly, there will be no problems, but if they dare to return to their old business, then as long as they are still on the earth, there is no possibility of escape.
Hong Keng's series of actions once again won a large amount of prestige for Gu Yu, making his prestige value skyrocket again, reaching an unprecedented new height, breaking through the 15 billion mark.
Hong Keng was not satisfied, and set his sights on the Laos region and the T country region of the Golden Triangle, the Golden Triangle is not all located in MD, after years of governance, there are very few drug manufacturing businesses, mainly Laos and MD, of which MD is the most serious.
Hong Keng was afraid of bringing notoriety to Gu Yu, so he has always controlled all the areas of activity within the territory of MD, but now that MD is fine, if he wants to continue to earn prestige for Gu Yu, he must cross the border, which is not something he can do.
Hong Keng reported this problem to Gu Yu, but Gu Yu did not agree to Hong Keng's application to cross the border and enter Laos. However, he didn't do anything, but asked Wang Limin to help greet the Lao side and talk about the tone of the Lao side, if the Lao government agreed to let Hong Keng go to Laos to crusade against the drug dealers in the Golden Triangle, he would let Hong Keng go over.
Laos already knows about the movements of MD during this time, and from the bottom of my heart, I am still very envious. They have always felt that God is unfair, and complained about why God did not give birth to a character similar to Hong Keng among their Laotian drug dealers. Of course, this does not mean that they will allow Hong Keng to enter their territory in Laos.
However, this time it was Wang Limin who handed it over, and Gu Yu loomed behind the scenes, and the Lao government could not but consider it carefully. In the end, the Lao government chose to cooperate, but they also put forward a request, that is, Hong Keng only came to help exterminate the drug traffickers, and could not do anything else, and after the drugs were seized and the drug dealers were caught, they must all be handed over to the Lao government for handling, and in addition, they also asked Gu Yu for 100 million US dollars as a guarantee.
Gu Yu directly waved his hand and signed a check for 100 million US dollars to the Lao government, which was not a deposit, but was donated by him to the Lao government, so that the Lao government could build a few more schools in the country and improve the quality of the country.
Gu Yu was so simple that the Lao government had a good impression of Gu Yu, and in the subsequent action of Hong Keng, the Lao government vigorously cooperated and helped Hong Keng catch a lot of fish that slipped through the net.
After the United Nations Drug Control Agency conducted a comprehensive investigation of the Golden Triangle Laos and determined that it was no longer possible to find drugs here, Hong Keng took people and withdrew to MD without the slightest stop.
When this news was transmitted, Gu Yu's prestige value skyrocketed again, and it broke through 20 billion very smoothly.
When Hong Keng was making trouble in MD and trying to increase Gu Yu's prestige, Gu Yu had already taken a plane, and the state attached great importance to Gu Yu's visit, and the government and the military sent senior officials to the airport to greet him.
Gu Yu was kidnapped last time he came to country T, and this time the Thai government was afraid that the scene would be staged again, so a large number of guards were dispatched to protect Gu Yu's safety.
Gu Yu originally wanted to do something in country T and earn more prestige, but looking at it like this, it would be good if he could earn the prestige he deserved.
Gu Yu visited universities, welfare institutes and other institutions in country T, and also visited His Majesty the king at King T's palace, earning some prestige points, but that's it.
Gu Yu discussed with the officials of country T the possibility of digging the Kra Canal. Over the years, there have been many people who have come up with the idea of this canal, but for various reasons, this Kra Canal has not been successfully dug successfully.
The Thai government was very honest here in Guyu and told them about their concerns about the Kra Canal. There are two main points, the government hopes to get the bulk of the profits earned after the opening of the Kra Canal, and become the biggest beneficiary of the Kra Canal, and the second point is that there have always been separatist forces in the area where the Kra Canal is located.
If the Kra Canal is dug up, on the one hand, the government of T is worried that they will not be able to effectively control the Clara Canal, and on the other hand, they are worried that the separatist forces will use it as a bargaining chip with the government, and if the government does not agree to their conditions, then they will threaten to blow up the bridge, then they will be very passive.
It must be said that the concerns of the government of the country are quite realistic, but no matter how many difficulties there are, Gu Yu also wants to dig the Kra Canal, once this Kra Canal is opened, in addition to countless economic benefits, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world and bring him a huge amount of prestige.
