Chapter 51: Anti-China Riots
It is entirely conceivable that the Kokang Special Administrative Region, which has openly broken with the MD government, has become the first choice of the vast majority of people.
Others who are further away from the Kokang SAR have tried to hide in areas where ethnic minorities are in the majority, such as Kachin State.
As a result, a large number of refugees have poured into the Kokang Special Administrative Region, which has brought great distress and problems to the SAR Government.
There is no doubt that this is a good opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people, and if it can be fully utilized, it can make the common people of all ethnic groups wholeheartedly support the Kokang SAR government.
It is precisely on the basis of this consideration that the SAR Government and all officials of the Kokang Republican Army (IRA) have taken the same attitude and called for doing everything possible to shelter and rescue the refugees.
However, opportunities are not free, but come at a high cost.
First, refugees need local settlement;
Secondly, many people took advantage of the fire to loot, and the law and order situation in the Kokang area continued to deteriorate;
Again, large quantities of food and medicine are needed.
Faced with this situation, Pang Jindong and Shen Peifu held a meeting overnight to study, and finally worked out corresponding countermeasures:
First, to set up refugee camps far from the settlements, to accommodate all refugees who have fled, and to allow no refugees to enter or leave without permission;
Second, for those who really want to settle in the Kokang area, after identity screening, they can leave the refugee camp and then be resettled and employed by the SAR government.
Third, the main task of the most elite 1st Brigade is to protect the Changqingshan base and the SAR government, and to send a regiment from it to various refugee camps to maintain law and order;
Fourth, if we do not solve this problem, it is very likely that riots will break out in the refugee camps, and the SAR Government will be in dire straits at home and abroad.
Of these measures, the fourth is the easiest to do, but it is also the most difficult to do.
It's easy because anyone can do it, and it's hard because it takes too much money.
Actually, it's not just that, everything needs money right now.
With the increase in size and personnel, the Kokang Republican Army's daily expenses have multiplied several times, and it needs more money in a state of war.
Fighting a war is burning money, otherwise there is no way to replenish the consumption of ammunition, and the wounded and wounded soldiers cannot be compensated.
Although the drug business is very profitable, it is still somewhat difficult to cope with the current situation, and for the time being, it can only rely on the funds saved in the past to solve the urgent needs.
Among all the people in the Kokang Republican Army, if you talk about personal assets, the richest is Pang Jindong.
Although the total assets of the Kokang IRA are staggering, they do not belong to a specific person.
Pang Wenlan has only made every effort to develop the team over the years, and has not accumulated much property for himself.
Therefore, whenever money is mentioned, everyone's eyes will look at Pang Jindong intentionally or unintentionally.
Pang Jindong understood what everyone meant, and did not hesitate to spend $30 million to support the Kokang Republican Army.
If Pang Jindong wants to use money, he must find Tang Yun, this woman has actually become Pang Jindong's financial director.
Because Tang Yun had the experience of working in the second milk industry, and his hands and feet were not clean, he looted a huge amount of money from Chen Yubo, so Pang Jindong was not at ease at first.
But after a long time, Pang Jindong found that although Tang Yun likes to be sarcastic and mock of himself, his starting point is all kind, at least in terms of loyalty.
Not only can she increase the value of her property to the maximum, but as long as Pang Jindong asks for money, she will inevitably deliver it in full, and she never asks about the use.
So, Pang Jindong simply appointed Tang Yun as the financial director of the Imperial Holding Group, and later, even the personal accounts were managed by her.
Speaking of which, there was a time when Pang Jindong asked Kazama Yaqing to be in charge of the family, but he didn't expect this girl to slam the door.
Pang Jindong has no concept of money, sometimes he spends lavishly, and when he doesn't, he is very happy.
However, under Masaharu Kazama's restraint, Pang Jindong's life has been very difficult.
Even if Pang Jindong only needs a hundred yuan, Masaharu Kazama has to ask about the purpose, and then write it down in a small book very seriously.
Pang Jindong is a little dissatisfied, Kazama Masaharu will definitely talk about how difficult it is to make money, and he should be diligent and thrifty.
In the end, Pang Jindong couldn't bear it anymore, so he seized the financial power of Masaharu Kazama and handed it over to Tang Yun.
Kazama Masaharu felt that Pang Jindong was too profligate, and he had no laws to persuade him, so he was happy to ignore this matter.
"Okay, I'll send it to you in eight hours. Tang Yun's voice was lazy, and he held the pen lightly with his fingers, and wrote down the account number of the Kokang Republican Army.
The Kokang Republican Army has accounts in many countries and banks, and Pang Jindong provides a domestic one.
As soon as the money arrives, the GOLA people in the country will use it to buy various supplies and send them to the Kokang SAR through the Guò border trade crossing.
If you need something special, such as weapons and ammunition, you have to transfer the money abroad, then buy what you need through a series of complicated methods, and finally send it to the Kokang Republican Army by more complicated means.
Pang Jindong sighed and urged: "You'd better do your best, I'm waiting for this money to be used!"
"Oh!" Tang Yun replied casually, his tone still calm: "Is it for the Kokang Republican Army?"
"How do you know?"
"What do you say, don't you read the newspaper?" As soon as he heard Pang Jindong's question, Tang Yun's tone was no longer calm: "You have become a news figure now!"
There are no newspapers or magazines here, and you can only learn about the outside world through the guò Internet and television, the former being as slow as a snail, and the latter being the same as nothing.
MD only has two TV stations in his country, and Pang Jindong can't understand what is being said in it, so he can only watch satellite TV.
However, due to the topography, the signal is very poor.
In addition, after Pang Jindong arrived at Changqing Mountain, he basically never had idle, so he was basically isolated from the outside world.
Under Tang Yun's introduction, Pang Jindong learned that the international community began to pay attention to the MD situation.
At present, the MD government is facing unprecedented public pressure, but the international community has not yet taken substantive action, so the MD government is not concerned.
What is intriguing is the attitude of country Z, which for many years has paid little attention to the interests and personal safety of its diaspora.
However, Southeast Asian countries do not give face, and almost every country has an anti-China tradition, which has lasted for more than a century.
In 1998, when an anti-China riot broke out in a certain country that shocked the whole world, the government of country Z still maintained the same silence that shocked the whole world.
However, the riots caused country Z to lose face in the international community, and also led to the loss of the centripetal force of overseas diaspora groups and even domestic residents, so since then, this policy has slowly changed.
Although this riot was directed against all ethnic minorities, the Kokang people suffered greater losses, and the battlefield bordered country Z, so country Z could not sit still.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of country Z held a press conference at the first time, saying that Yan zhòng was concerned about the recent situation in MD and severely condemned the ethnic vendetta.
At the same time, it was stated that the possibility of further action was not ruled out.
These words are still in words, but Pang Jindong still feels a little relieved, because this shows that the foreign policy of country Z has changed in a certain way.
If the republican army fails, the Kokang people can retreat to the border areas, and the government of country Z is likely to open the borders and admit Chinese refugees.
There is a precedent in history for this, and it is not impossible to repeat it.
Of course, Pang Jindong doesn't want to fail, but he always has to consider the worst possible in everything.
Pang Jindong thought about his thoughts, and didn't speak for a while, Tang Yun asked strangely: "Why don't you make a sound?"
"It's nothing!" Pang Jindong sighed and asked again: "You haven't said yet, how did I become famous!"
"Now that information technology is so developed, the president of country M was hit by a broken shoe, and the whole world will know within a few minutes, let alone a war!" Tang Yun laughed a few times as she spoke, as if she was very proud of Pang Jindong: "The situation of the warring parties has long been excavated by the media, including the leaders of the Kokang Republican Army. And the vast majority of these leaders are veteran rebels, native-born MDs, and not very newsworthy. You, a billionaire, are different, leaving the chairman of the Imperial Holding Group inappropriate and running to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the rebels. ”
Pang Jindong smiled bitterly: "Even you know!"
"I haven't congratulated you on becoming the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army!" Tang Yun laughed twice more and quipped: "You should have a treat!"
Speaking of which, when he was at the base of Hongyan Valley, Tang Yun had seen a battle with real swords and guns.
However, compared with the current situation in the Kokang Special Economic Zone, it can only be a small thing.
This girl laughed so happily, Pang Jindong felt that she should be allowed to more fully understand what war is.
One thing Pang Jindong didn't know was that the domestic news reports about him had been controlled from the top, otherwise he would have more past experiences and news to be excavated.
"Okay! I'll please!" Pang Jindong reluctantly agreed, and then muttered in a low voice: "If I have a life to go back alive!"
"By the way, even if you don't call me, I'm about to call you!" Suddenly, Tang Yun became serious, and almost word by word said to Pang Jindong: "Someone wants to see you!"
Pang Jindong was very puzzled by the change in Tang Yun's attitude: "Who?"
"I don't know!" After a pause, Tang Yun added, "But I believe it is a very important person!"
"What the hell is going on? I'm confused by you!"
Tang Yun followed Pang Jindong's example and sighed: "Actually, I'm also confused!"
It turned out that Jin Lingling suddenly found Tang Yun last night, because she couldn't contact Pang Jindong, so she asked Tang Yun to convey a message on her behalf.
The content of the message is very simple, that is, someone wants to see Pang Jindong, and this person may give Pang Jindong heavy help.
As for who this person is, why he wants to see Pang Jindong, and what kind of help he gives, Jin Lingling didn't say a word.
She just told Tang Yun that if Pang Jindong agreed with this person, he would get in touch with her immediately.
Tang Yun knew some about the relationship between Pang Jindong and Jin Lingling, and at the beginning, she thought it was because Pang Jindong had snubbed Jin Lingling during this time, so the little girl said such a thing angrily.
Tang Yun knew what Pang Jindong was doing now, and he didn't want to bother with these boring little things, but when he remembered Jin Lingling's solemn expression at that time, he didn't feel like he was joking.
Because she was afraid of delaying Pang Jindong's important matter, she decided to say it anyway.
