Chapter 14: Super Tuesday

Now that Lin Peiwen has moved away, and her behavior has changed recently, Masaharu Kazama and Kazuka Nagano don't hate her that much.

At present, the new focus of the contradiction is that the two girls pointed the finger at Tang Yun, and agreed that this coquettish woman was seducing Pang Jindong, and they categorically did not want Pang Jindong to fall into the hands of such people.

Lin Peiwen sat opposite Pang Jindong, pulled up, and talked about nothing serious for a long time.

Pang Jindong listened patiently at first, but after a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Lin Peiwen was seen through by Pang Jindong, and she looked a little uncomfortable, and after a moment of hesitation, she said cautiously: "I want you to do me a favor!"

"If you can do it, you will definitely serve!"

Lin Peiwen hesitated for a moment before replying, "Help me get rid of Yang Yunlong!"

Hearing Lin Peiwen's request, Pang Jindong's brows immediately tightened.

Yang Yunlong, the current director of the Public Security Bureau of B City, is Hong Yingfeng's old subordinate, and for a long time, he has been either openly or secretly, and has been against Pang Jindong a lot.

Even after Hong Yingfeng fell, he did not give up and planned the peachy incident against Pang Jindong and Chen Binghan, but Jin Lingling fell into the bait by mistake.

However, after Pang Jindong killed his two cronies, he has been very quiet and has not had any further incidents.

For such a person, Pang Jindong also wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but he has never had a chance.

Seeing that Pang Jindong just bowed his head and remained silent, Lin Peiwen asked tentatively, "Do you agree?"

Pang Jindong asked rhetorically: "Why should I help you?"

Lin Peiwen originally wanted to say: "I can pay you!" but when she thought that Pang Jindong might be richer than herself now, she swallowed the words again, and just emphasized: "Because we are friends!"

Pang Jindong looked at Lin Peiwen with a smile and teased: "I said how you have changed recently, gentle and considerate and understanding, it turns out that you are asking me!"

As soon as she heard Pang Jindong's words, Lin Peiwen forgot her intentions, and said very dissatisfied: "Do you think that I have to beg you?!" The voice landed, "poof" stood up, walked away without looking back, and slammed the door hard after going out.

Pang Jindong looked at the door stupidly, and was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Pang Jindong has indeed wronged people, Lin Peiwen's change has nothing to do with asking Pang Jindong for something, and Pang Jindong himself quickly realized his mistake.

Lin Peiwen wants to get rid of Yang Yunlong because the Municipal Public Security Bureau has recently launched a series of crackdowns against the Xinglong Gang, which has greatly affected the various businesses of the Xinglong Gang, especially the drug business.

Although Colonel Song Shuang of the Khmer Rouge is difficult to entangle, and Lin Peiwen has no reason to continue to bargain, perhaps in order to maintain the good cooperative relationship between the two sides, Colonel Song Shuang finally agreed to lower the price before leaving, so that the Star Dragon Gang can invisibly make a lot of money.

However, Lin Peiwen didn't have time to be happy, and Yang Yunlong, the evil star, intervened sideways, so that Lin Peiwen had to kill.

Although the Xinglong Gang is doing illegal business after all, even if Yang Yunlong is eliminated, someone else will take over the position, but considering what Yang Yunlong has done to him, Pang Jindong decided to help Lin Peiwen once.

As for how to do it, Pang Jindong couldn't find a way.

After thinking about it for a long time, Pang Jindong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and had an idea.

Two days later, Pang Jindong went to Jin Lingling.

"This is what the thief stole from your house, there are a lot of them, all in it!" Pang Jindong put a black plastic bag in front of Jin Lingling, and at the same time promised: "Don't worry, I haven't seen what it is!"

Jin Lingling put away the plastic bag, smiled knowingly, and then asked, "That thief really changed his ways?"

"I know you're worried about him committing another crime, but you can rest assured that although his actions were wrong, his intentions are still good! And he's not an unreasonable person, and I'll ....... after I explain the reason to him."

Jin Lingling interrupted Pang Jindong's words, and a wicked smile appeared on her face: "Do you dare to guarantee that he hasn't committed any more crimes?"

Pang Jindong raised his right hand and made an oath: "Of course, I can guarantee it!"

"But ......." Jin Lingling looked at Pang Jindong and said slowly: "A few days ago, the house of Yang Yunlong, the director of the Public Security Bureau of B City, was burglarized, and the modus operandi was exactly the same as several other thefts. Most importantly, among the stolen items was an account book that recorded Yang Yunlong's acceptance of bribes. Just yesterday, this account book was anonymously sent to the Central Committee for Discipline Inspection, and now Yang Yunlong himself has been subjected to shuanggui, and according to internal information, the Ministry of Public Security will announce the decision to expel him from public office and the party in two days. ”

Jin Lingling said so much in one breath, so that Pang Jindong had a full understanding of the development of things.

"I instructed it!" Pang Jindong smiled indifferently, and simply made his words clear: "Don't you just want to hear this?"

Regarding Pang Jindong's confession, Jin Lingling neither made leniency nor strictness, but just said: "I really didn't expect that Yang Yunlong looked righteous and awe-inspiring on weekdays, and it turned out that he secretly acted as a protective umbrella for many gangsters!"

Before the account book was sent to the discipline inspection, Pang Jindong read it carefully, so he knew what Jin Lingling said. It can be seen from this that the Star Dragon Gang did not give Yang Yunlong a "confession", and it is certain that this is the reason why Yang Yunlong vigorously swept away the Star Dragon Gang.

"Now, Lin Peiwen should be happy!" Pang Jindong thought secretly in his heart.

"What are you thinking?" Jin Lingling saw that Pang Jindong didn't speak, and asked a little uneasy: "That thief...... Won't you leave anything behind?"

"Don't worry! His hands and feet are absolutely neat!"

Jin Lingling's gaze became deeper, and she suddenly threw out a question that Pang Jindong didn't expect: "When do you plan to go to MD?"

Pang Jindong wanted to know Jin Lingling's motive for questioning, but he didn't ask it, but told her: "Now that the domestic affairs are almost settled, it is estimated that we will leave in two days!"

"Young man, do a good job!" Jin Lingling patted Pang Jindong's shoulder, and her face suddenly became very solemn: "This sentence was conveyed to you by me for someone!"

Recently, one of the things that the domestic media has paid the most attention to is the presidential election of country M.

After successfully solving the scandal of the drug network, Anderson lived up to expectations and made his way forward.

In the recent Super Tuesday elections, 22 states of the Democratic Party and 21 states of the Republican Party held primaries for the presidential nomination, and Anderson, who had no strong opponents, easily won 20 of the states and won the Democratic presidential nomination.

What he needs to face next is a formal presidential election.

The Rothschilds, one of Anderson's biggest supporters, did not know what was going on internally, and although they still had a steady stream of money, they were not as generous as they used to be, and they did not give any guidance to the large number of campaign speeches and platforms that Anderson had to face.

And this kind of guidance is quite important, as the Rothschild family, as the leader of the financial community in country M, has more analysis and countermeasures for the economic situation than any theorist or research institute sitting in the office.

It's a pity that no one can understand the mysterious Red Shield family, and their internal affairs can only be solved by themselves, and anyone who wants to fish in troubled waters will find themselves unable to find any opportunities.

In fact, even if he had the opportunity, Pang Jindong was reluctant to participate in the affairs of this family, firstly, because his own strength was not enough, and secondly, there was no need to wade into this troubled water.

So far, Pang Jindong's contact with the Rothschilds has been limited to a single conversation with Otto Rothschild.

As for the financial problems faced by Anderson, Pang Jindong can help as much as possible.

Because the negotiation between the Imperial Holding Group and the Zhengdong Group was very smooth, Dongyao Company was sold to the latter at a very good price, so the $500 million could be used freely, so that Pang Jindong was now very loose for the time being.

In this case, Pang Jindong once again gave $30 million to Anderson for the presidential election, which was like a money-burning competition.

While spending money, of course, you also need to make money, Pang Jindong let Tang Yun operate the money with full authority, trying to get the maximum value-added in the shortest possible time.

However, at the moment, Pang Jindong's main concern is not these, but the upcoming trip to Changqing Mountain.

Prior to this, Pang Jindong had done some preparatory homework and had a certain understanding of MD, but he didn't expect that the relationship between the ethnic and political forces in this country was so complicated.

There are 42 ethnic groups in Burma, mainly eight major ethnic groups – the Burmese, the majority of the population, and the Jiren, Shan, Rakhine, Mon, Kachin, Chin and Kayah.

The Kokang people, represented by the Kokang Republican Army, live in the northern region of MD and are indeed a minority among ethnic minorities, with a population of about 100,000 and nearly 200,000.

In fact, not all of today's Kokang people are descendants of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, including domestic immigrants who moved in from various historical periods, including the horse gang from Yunnan, and the remnants of the army that were defeated in the civil war like Pang Jindong's uncle.

Although the Kokang people are not all of the MD Chinese, they are very small compared to the Chinese in other parts of Southeast Asia.

This is mainly because MD is all mountainous, and it takes a big circle to go around through the Strait of Malacca by sea, so the residents of the coastal generation of China rarely go to this country.

The generation of Chinese from Guangdong and Fujian mainly lived in the southern coastal areas of MD, and most of the Chinese from Yunnan lived in the upper part of MD.

Therefore, among the MD Chinese, there is such a saying as "upper MD" and "lower MD".

However, the Chinese from Yunnan began to migrate to MD as early as the Han and Tang dynasties, which is also the biggest difference between MD Chinese and other Southeast Asian countries.

There are many reasons for emigrating, either to engage in commercial trade, or to attract a large number of Chinese workers to the rich mineral deposits of northern Burma.

However, although the Kokang people are only a part of the MD Chinese, they are different from other MD Chinese.

After experiencing political turmoil in recent decades, especially after the Chinese exclusion incident, today's MD Chinese have changed beyond recognition.

According to rough estimates, there are about 800,000 to 1 million MD Chinese, and there may be more than 300,000 in Yangon.

MD is a country where a military junta is in power, and there is 1 police officer for every 7 MD people. Living in such an environment, the Chinese are quite low-key.

They wear the same clothes as the MD people in public, speak the authentic MD dialect, use the MD people's names, live together with the MD people, and no longer indicate that they are Chinese on their identity documents, but try their best to hide their Chinese characteristics to avoid discrimination.

Not only that, but intermarriage between Chinese and locals is also very common.

It can be said that the national character of the Chinese people has been assimilated from the external life, appearance to the blood in the body, and has been assimilated with the MD people for hundreds of years.

This is mainly due to the fact that MD introduced the Citizenship Act during the Ne Win era, which contains many provisions that discriminate against non-MD Chinese.

For example, as long as one of the parents is not an MD, I will not be admitted to the university.

And without MD nationality, it is almost impossible for Chinese to find work and do business, so Chinese are forced to reluctantly naturalize one after another.

In addition, Chinese schools and Chinese newspapers were banned for a time, so the Chinese society will present the situation as it is today.

In contrast, the Kokang people are different, both because they have maintained traditional Chinese culture and because the question of their nationality has never been resolved.

The MD junta once tried to issue a special red ID card to the Kokang people, but the Kokang people sternly refused, and there are very few Kokang people who are willing to spend money to buy ordinary ID cards.

In addition, the Kokang people have a lot of self-government power, and they are basically a state within a state.

Strictly speaking, the Kokang Republican Army formed by Pang Jindong's fourth uncle, Pang Wenlan, cannot represent the Kokang people.

During the most turbulent period in history, there were three major forces in the Kokang region: first, Yang Zhensheng's anti-Burmese forces, some of which were led by Yang Zhenye in Thailand; second, the government-supported Self-Defense Forces of the big drug lord Luo Xinghan; and third, the anti-Burmese forces composed of young people led by Peng Jiasheng.

The Kokang Republican Army roamed the fringes of the three major powers, and it looked like a chameleon. Sometimes they are close to this force, sometimes they are subordinate to that force, one moment they demand Kokang autonomy, and the other time they support the MD government to take over Kokang completely.

So no one ever looked at them alone, and no one ever took them seriously.
