Text Chapter 1595 Tiger's mouth for food
But this is a jungle, with lush trees, a natural barrier, and the terrain is complex, and no one is an absolute winner, so there are all kinds of people who dream of making a fortune to try their luck. This is a group of stragglers, they have no strict discipline, no strict organization, no strong firepower, some only dare to fight the courage and guts, of course, there may also be a wise mind and extraordinary skills, but also have the spirit of not afraid of hardship and the body that can survive the humid climate. They don't have money, they come here to find money, they can find red sandalwood, they can grab money, as long as there is a harvest, even if it is worth it, they are doing a business without capital. Of course, if you lose your money, you will lose all your money, and you will not even have your life.
In this jungle, Xiao Wudao and Mei Laosi are the fourth type of people, here they are the most regular people, they are businessmen in the real sense, do not rob, do not bribe, do not kill people and goods, if smuggling is another exchange channel, they are the forerunners of providing supplies for the world red sandalwood market. They coexist with the other three people, and they are wary of each other, because they are the weakest, and they have to guard against the military, and if they catch the light confiscation of property, they will be imprisoned for a few days, and the heavy ones may be killed on the spot. Beware of robbers, they are the primary target in the eyes of robbers, as long as they are discovered, there is no chance of survival, regardless of whether they have money or not, they will be killed first. We must also beware of those "second-way dealers" who sell red sandalwood to them, their identities are very vague, and they are still sanctimonious businessmen just now, but they may turn their faces in the blink of an eye and become robbers and bandits.
Of course, those who dare to enter this forest to seek food from the tiger's mouth are not good stubble, in this extralegal and wild place, everyone's identity is not fixed, and those who can profit with money will do business peacefully, and they can possess each other with knives and guns, and those who can secretly attack will never clash head-on. Everyone comes for profit, and they only have money in their eyes, even if they don't want to do their lives, they will never give up what they should have. Even if they are still fighting side by side now, they may turn against each other and face each other with swords in the next second.
Those days were extremely stimulating to Mei Laosi, it was a nightmare in his life, his nerves were tense all the time, he was full of suspicion of everyone around him, and he couldn't even sleep and completely relax. So much so that decades have passed, and every time I wake up from my dream, I still return to the Burmese rainforest, sit under the trees and listen to the sound of the water, and sometimes I am frightened by the sound of birds touching the leaves.
Mei Laosi still remembers the last time they returned to the rainforest. At a celebration banquet, Xiao Wudao said to a few of them, "Just now, Boss Jin contacted me, saying that he had a batch of goods in his hands, and asked if we were interested. The brothers all said, do we want this batch of goods?" "Boss Jin is the leader of a local gang, with a radius of 100 miles, except for the garrison, he is the most powerful, and he has been colluding with the military to smuggle red sandalwood out for resale.
A few years ago, he had made his first pot of gold by planting opium poppies, entrenched himself in this place, purchasing a large number of light and heavy weapons from abroad, and having two to three hundred dead soldiers under his command, all of whom were wanted by the nearby government on death row. After Southeast Asian countries jointly launched a crackdown on the drug business, he felt that this road was too risky, so he changed careers and hooked up with the military top brass, smuggling red sandalwood and selling it to businessmen from various countries.
A few years later, when the military leader was replaced, he stopped paying attention to him, and he began to curry favor in every possible way, but people didn't like him at all, and threatened to defeat him, the evil force. Later, he learned that this leader and his pair were old acquaintances, and it was difficult for two tigers to be accommodated in one mountain, so how could they still associate with him.
Seeing that the financial route was cut off, in a fit of anger, Boss Kim did a thing that made the Burmese military finally raise the white flag, he went out of his nest and attacked the military troops stationed in the jungle day and night, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he broke into pieces, first carried out a sneak attack on the military patrol team, and killed dozens of soldiers one after another. The military attached great importance to it and mobilized a large number of troops to drive into the jungle, but Boss Jin saw that the situation was not good, so he evacuated all his subordinates to nearby people's homes, and became ordinary farmers who hid and never showed up again. The military tossed for half a year, found nothing, and returned with nothing.
After the troops withdrew, Boss Jin killed again, this time he saw through the state apparatus and was helpless against him, and he was even more unscrupulous, went directly to the garrison camp, and killed all the sentries standing guard outside on a windy and dark night.
The camp was in chaos, and the leader reported to his superiors, so the large army entered the mountain again, and after two more months, he still did not find the figure of Boss Jin, and the official listed him as the most wanted felon, but to no avail. After two months of peace, he thought that Boss Jin did not know which mountain to flee to, so he retreated, and on the same night, a camp of the garrison was attacked, and the guns rang out, and all the soldiers in a barracks were killed. The commander was so angry that he ordered his subordinates to search the mountains and kill people when they saw them, but they killed many civilians by mistake, and they were stabbed out by newspaper reporters, and the commander was removed from his post for investigation, and on the way he left, he was ambushed by Boss Jin, and the car was blown up into the sky, and the commander's body was gone.
There was a new leader, he took the initiative to show goodwill to Boss Jin, and colluded closely, the military also turned a blind eye to this, Boss Jin was like a fish in water, red sandalwood was like growing in his backyard, and he was not greedy to cut down a tree if he had no money, and he maintained a tacit understanding with the military, cooperated with each other, and lived in peace.
Boss Jin and Xiao Wudao have a cooperative relationship for many years, Xiao Wudao has his own sales channels, he never bargains with Boss Jin, as long as the goods are good, Boss Jin will give him as much as he wants. After Boss Jin got the goods, he usually always said hello to Xiao Wudao first. It stands to reason that the last batch of goods has just been sold, so you should take a break, adjust your nervous body and mind, and come back to adventure after a while.
But this time, Xiao Wudao somehow wanted to take this batch of goods, and after he finished asking, he saw that his brothers didn't speak, because everyone was tired, they had money in their pockets, and the wine, beauties, and casinos that they had longed for had already beckoned in their hearts, so they didn't want to do it. Xiao Wudao paused for a moment and continued: "This batch of goods is the best, you can make a lot of money after you sell it, I want to take it, in addition, the payment we just received is just enough to buy this batch of goods, it is better for us to strike while the iron is hot, and after doing this, we will be free for a few more months." What do you say, brothers?"
