Chapter 33 Overseas Gambling
Now all the symptoms can only be blamed on stimulants, but Pang Jindong's understanding of this stimulant is very limited, and he doesn't know what to do next.
Pang Jindong thought to himself: "If you want to lie in bed like this forever, it is better to end yourself early......
Tang Yun saw that Pang Jindong's expression was a little solemn, lying there without saying a word, so he coughed and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"
"Oh......" Pang Jindong came back from his thoughts and asked, "How is the situation outside recently?"
"All of them were executed according to the original plan, Lai Haixiong is dead, and the Jianghai Gang is disabled..."
Pang Jindong smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your clever calculation..."
Lai Haixiong died at the same time as the duel in the Yama Field was held, and although there were many suspicious points in it, it felt very strange, but the whole thing seemed a little logical.
Some time ago, the Municipal Public Security Bureau organized a group of police forces to go to a certain border city in Yunnan to study and inspect the experience and technology of drug control.
Because the drug threat faced by City B is becoming more and more severe, and the border city has accumulated a lot of technology and experience in the struggle against foreign drug organizations for many years, this study and inspection will take place.
This study tour was organized by He Guowen, and he always claimed to the outside world that he would personally lead the team, and then just when the study tour was about to leave, his wife suddenly fell ill.
He Guowen had to rush home to take care of his wife, so that the study delegation would lack a leader to lead the team.
He Guowen found Lai Haixiong at that time, and asked Lai Haixiong to lead the team in an almost consultative tone, and hoped to ensure that this study and inspection activity could be a complete success.
Seeing that He Guowen's tone was very sincere, Lai Haixiong almost didn't have any doubts, and agreed very happily.
Lai Haixiong did not have He Guowen's professionalism, and did not care at all whether the study and investigation could be a complete success, and one of the fundamental reasons for agreeing to it was that it was an opportunity to show his actual power;
Another important reason is that it is also a good opportunity to travel at public expense.
In fact, the so-called study and inspection of various government units in China only occupies a part of the real study and inspection content, and a large part of the content is tourism.
Lai Haixiong has never been to Yunnan, so he can take this opportunity to play to the fullest.
Moreover, there are two things that are most prevalent in Yunnan, both of which Lai Haixiong likes very much, one is erotic trading, and the other is gambling.
After the delegation arrived in Yunnan as scheduled, an important official of the local public security organ was responsible for receiving and accompanying the delegation throughout the process.
This official deliberately approached Lai Haixiong, and arranged food, lodging, and entertainment activities that made Lai Haixiong very satisfied, and he was very generous, and gradually won Lai Haixiong's favor and trust.
In order to prevent Lai Haixiong from doubting his intentions, he indirectly hinted that he had stayed enough in Yunnan and wanted to go to the capital of the great motherland to develop.
If Lai Haixiong knew that this official was He Guowen's comrade-in-arms for many years, he would definitely take more precautions, but Lai Haixiong didn't know, so he was convinced of this, and generously said that he would definitely help as long as he had the opportunity, and at the same time quickly established a personal friendship with this official.
One day, after he was full of wine and food, the official mysteriously asked Lai Haixiong if he was interested in going out and playing with his hands.
Since the Pingyuan Street Operation in the 80s of the 20th century, drug cultivation and trafficking activities in Yunnan have been severely cracked down, and criminal activities related to prostitution and gambling have also been rectified one after another.
In the past decade, the acts related to these three types of criminal activities in Yunnan have basically come from abroad, and an important source of this is the Kokang region.
After the establishment of the Republic of Mubang, the government of the Republic kept its promise to country Z and thoroughly cleaned up the criminal activities against country Z in its territory, but although these three criminal activities were largely reined in, they were not completely eradicated, but were transferred to Kachin State.
Although Kachin State is in fact an autonomous region of the Republic of Mu State, it is not nominally or de jure territory of the Republic of Mu State, so the Government of the Republic is not responsible for what happened in that land.
As far as the central government of country Z is concerned, although it knows that the Republic of Mokin State is capable of eradicating criminal activities in Kachin State, it has not made such a request, but has adopted a policy of limited tolerance and watched Kachin State become a happy land for crime.
As long as human society survives, it is inevitable that all kinds of criminal activities will occur.
Business is nothing at all, gambling and drugs are the main thing.
Taking drugs as an example, the rich and film and television stars in China often have a strong demand, and this demand is definitely not something that can be changed by the prohibition of drugs in the Republic of Mubang.
From an economic point of view, the market exists because of demand, and definitely not just because someone provides the goods.
If drugs from the Golden Triangle region are cut off, it does not mean that there will be no drug trafficking and drug use in the country, but that the drug bases in the surrounding areas will immediately replace the Golden Triangle, and Afghanistan is the most likely of them.
The Afghan drug cartel controlled by clerics is beyond the reach of even a superpower like country M.
However, country Z has no influence on that region, either in history or in reality, and it is impossible to expect to eradicate drug production and trafficking activities there.
Taking a step back, even if Afghanistan is eradicated, other regions will still take its place, such as Russia's Far East.
In other words, for the government of country Z, it is better to stay where it can control than to let the criminal activities take place outside its sphere of influence.
If the Chinese compatriots can earn this money, they can at least do something that is beneficial to their own country, and if they are allowed to do so, the result will only be used to support separatist activities in their country.
Similar to drugs is gambling, but the problem of gambling has its own characteristics, and the trouble caused between country Z and the Republic of Mubang goes even beyond the problem of drugs.
In the past, Chinese people would gamble in places like Macau, but in recent years, they have shifted to the Golden Triangle, and casinos of all sizes have sprung up in Shan and Kachin States.
In the past, all the Golden Triangle casinos had a few common features, that is, they were invested by Chinese capital, basically open to Chinese people, and protected by local armed forces, and now they are mostly controlled by the Kokang Republican Army and the Kachin Army.
The Kokang Republican Army (IRA) has always controlled many casinos, and like drugs, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it cleaned up the casinos in the territory and then put all related businesses in Kachin State.
In the process, in the name of cooperating with the anti-drug and anti-gambling of country Z, the Kokang Republican Army swept up the casinos opened by other forces, and then re-established and opened them by their own people.
For the government of the Republic of Mubang, it is very desirable to achieve a real anti-drug and anti-gambling ban, but the huge profits brought by these two businesses are too tempting to give up easily.
There are places to be used in a republic that are in ruins, and it is impossible to raise any legitimate business in a short time.
In addition, many of the troops of the Kokang Republican Army are supported by drugs and gambling, and many generals and high-ranking officials rely on these two businesses for wealth.
No one knows how much money these casinos handle each year, but one thing is for sure, a lot of money goes abroad every year.
What is particularly important is that a considerable number of domestic gamblers are leaders at all levels, and it is conceivable that these people will never use their own money, which has also led to a very strict corruption problem.
Many people in country Z believe that this should not be ignored, and after committing several vicious crimes against their own citizens in these casinos, they have launched a series of crackdowns in an attempt to force these casinos to death.
This has been done by the border authorities no longer processing short-term visas, financial institutions ceasing operations in these areas, the telecommunications sector cutting off communications in those areas, and the electricity sector cutting off electricity supply in these areas.
The survival of these regions is entirely dependent on the country, and after these domestic measures were made, they were once on the verge of complete bankruptcy.
Under these circumstances, Shen Peifu led a secret delegation to visit China to negotiate on the issue of casinos.
Shen Peifu pointed out sharply at that time that since country Z allows the Macao region of one country, two systems to deposit casinos, it should allow neighboring friendly countries to do the same.
Shen Peifu's words were very reasonable, which made the domestic officials feel tricky.
China cannot allow a large amount of wealth to be lost abroad, still less can it tolerate corruption caused by participating in overseas gambling, and it cannot damage its relations with the Republic of Mubang because of this, still less can it ban Macao's casinos.
So, after some secret consultations, the domestic side had to give in and reach an agreement with the Republic of Mubang.
The main content of the agreement is that the Republic of Mobang will be allowed to operate casinos in Kachin State, but criminal activities against domestic citizens will be strictly prohibited;
For its part, the Republic of Mubang promised to expand its casino business to the whole of Southeast Asia and even the world, not only for domestic citizens, but also to verify the background of gambling participants, to avoid domestic public servants from gambling, and also expressed its willingness to pay taxes to the national tax department every year.
Shortly before Mr. Lai's arrival in Yunnan, the problem was resolved, and the casinos reopened.
Lai Haixiong is a very good gambler, usually he can only make a small fuss in China, and he is looking for an opportunity to go abroad to play a few big games, so he readily agreed.
As a police officer, he was supposed to crack down on all kinds of gambling activities, but Lai Haixiong did it within the scope of his authority, but he only cracked down on gambling that had nothing to do with him, and he didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of in enforcing the law.
However, Lai Haixiong was still very worried about being discovered, because it might ruin his black hat and future, so he indirectly expressed his uneasiness.
This official smiled indifferently, so that Lai Haixiong could rest assured that if this matter was really exposed, then it would not only be Lai Haixiong who was implicated.
Lai Haixiong felt relieved when he heard these words, and then thought that so many officials go abroad to gamble every year, and he may not become the most unlucky one.
But in order to avoid revealing his true identity, he disguised himself and then secretly crossed the border to Kachin State under the leadership of this official.
The borders between the Republic of Mubang and Kachin State and the country do not look like borders at all in terms of a large distance, except that border guards can be seen at the checkpoints, but they can be easily crossed without going through the border checkpoints.
After the founding of the Republic of Mubang, the exchanges between the people on both sides have been very frequent, and the exchanges between people and materials have been 24 hours a day, which has made the border management more relaxed.
The official took Lai Haixiong to the outskirts, and after a twist and turn, he came to a sugarcane field, and trotted some way deeper into Kachin State.
What surprised Lai Haixiong was that this official actually took out 1 million chips for his own use, and he didn't need to take a penny out of his pocket at all.
Moreover, Lai Haixiong's luck is very good, and the time doubled in one morning.
Lai Haixiong, who was proud of the casino, decided to go out and leave the casino under the leadership of this official, but they had just walked out of the gate not far away, when suddenly a group of people rushed out of nowhere, snatched all the money in the hands of the two, and then shot Lai Haixiong several times.
Lai Haixiong died on the spot, and the official returned to China in a hurry and reported the incident to his superiors.
The domestic side immediately intervened with the Kachin State government, which assured that the matter would be investigated strictly and several criminals were arrested shortly after.
Since the crimes were committed in Kachin State, investigations, trials, and executions were carried out by the Kachin State Government, with domestic supervision.
The whole case was defined as murder for money, and several criminals were quickly executed, although the country felt that the case was handled too hastily, but it could not find anything wrong on the surface, so in the end it accepted the result.
There is another reason for the domestic acceptance of this result, that is, it is unwilling to be too public.
Because Lai Haixiong's identity is special after all, and his official rank is not low, it will make the government's face very unsightly.
After the case was over, the domestic officialdom began to rectify the style and discipline, and the official who led Lai Haixiong to gamble abroad was double-opened.
After Tang Yun finished telling the story of Lai Haixiong's murder, he smiled and praised Pang Jindong: "This strategy of yours is very clever..."
Pang Jindong also smiled: "It's really a prize, this strategy was not come up with me, but Ms. Tang..."
