230 First arrival in Curran
The Golden Triangle is known as the "Adventurer's Paradise", and there is absolutely no exaggeration in it. In the 20th century, there were many famous drug lords in the region, and for a long time, there have been many groups of rebels and other drug ~ armed forces operating here. In order to produce and sell drugs~ products, these drug lords organized a group of well-equipped local armed forces to openly contend with the central governments of Myanmar and Thailand.
In the past, the most drug-producing local forces in Myanmar were: Kokang in the First Special Region, Wa State in the Second Special Region, etc., these places were actually controlled by local warlord forces, but they were still subject to the central military government of Myanmar, had great autonomy rights, and also provided convenience for their own supply and trafficking of drugs~ products.
That is to say, here, as long as you have guns and money, you can sit down and negotiate with the central government, and as long as you still recognize the legitimacy of the central government and do not make trouble for independence, then you can be autonomous, you can grow opium poppies, you can make ~ drug dealers ~ drugs, and you can continue to earn money to raise soldiers.
It's like walking into a vicious circle, and in the end, the generals here have the final say in the affairs of the Golden Triangle.
It's not that the central government doesn't want to eradicate this cancer, but because of its own lack of strength and the unique topography of the Golden Triangle, there is no way to do it in a hurry. The U.S. military is good enough, and it still has no problem with the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan, let alone these Southeast Asian juntas.
In addition, many of the governments of these three countries have contacts with the generals of the Golden Triangle, and once the government army attacks, the intelligence is sold early.
In such a situation, what to eradicate the Golden Triangle?
Although the territory of the Golden Triangle is large enough, there are also many generals. From Banda to Kunsai's territory. Fortunately, there is a direct passage to go, otherwise. Luo Fei and the others had to go around in the mountains for a few more days.
Although the generals are usually peaceful, it doesn't mean that they don't want to kill each other. Don't talk about those old forces. How many years have they existed, it is difficult to break through from the outside. Even if someone succeeds in carrying out the decapitation operation, the next successor will be chosen within the forces themselves.
But it's hard to say about a force like Zhao Guigui, and it's dangerous for his soldiers to drive through the territory of other generals. For those big forces, Zhao Guigui's little belongings really can't get into the eyes of others.
Zhao's precious base is a large village, but the generals of the Golden Triangle. It is the special zone that is controlled, it is the town. His stronghold is the fortress, and the stronghold of the generals of the Golden Triangle is a vast array of camps!
Airplanes are still a rarity in the Golden Triangle, but tanks are equipped with many people in the army. This is the gap between the rich man in the countryside and the president of the transnational state! If you can get a fish pond, people can get a Pacific Ocean.
If people want to destroy Zhao Precious Money, they need to plan for a few days to succeed. If you want to destroy the generals of the Golden Triangle, hehe. Anyway, the central government has been planning for a long time, but it has not succeeded.
Zhao Guigui is smart and smart, he chose Mengda Development without a strong government.
Along the way, Luo Fei kept recalling the materials he had read. also asked Duan Xinghe about the situation of the Golden Triangle from time to time. After all, Duan Xinghe hasn't been here for a long time, and what he can say is all big goods.
But. Duan Xinghe provided a more useful piece of information, that is. Kunsai's two sons, Kunsha and Kunlong, are both adults. It is inevitable to fight for power and profit. According to Duan Xinghe, the two brothers have made a fuss that they are already a bit about to put on the table.
What a chance, how similar this is to the ancient princes fighting for the throne. As long as there is a struggle, you have a chance.
It's just that when the time comes, we have to take a good look at whether Kunsha is suitable or Kunlong is suitable.
Luo Fei believed that if the scorpion really arrived on Kunsai's territory, he would definitely get involved in the struggle between the two brothers. There are a number of old people under Quinsay, and the two brothers must have fought for everything they can fight, and now there is a sudden external force standing behind a transnational spy organization, if these two brothers don't know how to fight, then what kind of throne are they fighting for, just wait for their younger brothers to grow up.
Luo Fei's choice must be the opposite camp of the scorpion. However, the first problem is to protect your own life when you first arrive at Kunsai's territory.
If the scorpion defects to Kunsai, then in her capacity, she will definitely receive Kunsai's hospitality. He has nothing, his identity is suspicious, and when the scorpion gets in the way again, what will greet him is self-evident.
What a headache, how can I gain a foothold on the territory of Kunsai? Luo Fei couldn't think of any good way at the moment, so he had to take one step at a time.
Colombang, the territory of Quentsay. It is highly autonomous, militarily independent, and internally independent, and although it is located in Myanmar, it is a country within a state.
This situation is common in the Golden Triangle, and no general is willing to pay tribute to the government. Verbal recognition of the unity of the country and the legitimacy of the government is already their final bottom line.
Entering Colenbang, there were Kunsai's troops to pick up Duan Xinghe and the three. What is practiced here is military management, and being a soldier is the best.
After a simple handover, Zhao Guigui's people drove back. The road was basically all mountain roads, there was no place to refuel, and those jeeps were equipped with heavy oil drums. This made Luo Fei worry all the way, and he was so scared that he smoked and waited for the car to stop, and then hid far away.
Kunsai's troops are more elite, and after entering Colombang, there are wide roads, so Luo Fei and the three of them don't have to suffer from bumps.
From this, it can also be seen that Kunsai's strength is extraordinary. Building roads in the Golden Triangle is not a small amount.
Luo Fei and the three of them boarded a large troop truck, and an officer who came to pick them up also got into the car. Duan Xinghe seemed to have met the officer, and he talked to him very energetically.
When Duan Xinghe came back this time, he didn't know how General Kundsay would arrange for him, so the officer's attitude was quite polite. Tell Duan Xinghe all the information that can be said.
Duan Xinghe escaped back this time. Nothing was left, only one life remained. Originally, there was a lot of savings, but because of the suddenness of the incident, there was no time to transfer, and it is estimated that it has been frozen now.
Kollon is huge, but the only one that is really prosperous is the city of Korin. The main force of Quinsay's army was also stationed not far from the city of Curran. Ten minutes by car, the army can enter the city.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Kunsay is the emperor of Coron, and the civilians of Coronne are the people under his rule.
In addition to the city of Korin, there are several small towns in Kollon Bang, and the rest are villages. The abundance of opium poppy grown here provides a steady supply of raw materials for the poison factories in the dense rainforests and caves of Quentsay.
The villages here are no different from the rest of the Golden Triangle in that they all make a living from poppy cultivation. The villagers are poor, and opium poppy cultivation can only be exchanged for food and salt and other necessities of life. Because of the difficulty of transportation and the closed living environment, the villagers here mostly use opium poppy as a cure for all diseases. This made many villagers addicted to opium ~ again.
In the afternoon, the convoy entered the city of Curran. They had to pass through the city to reach the military camp outside the city.
The convoy moved through the streets of Curran City, and pedestrians and vehicles avoided each other.
Luo Fei looked from the car, although the area of Curran City is not large, but the streets are lined with shops and exquisite decorations, and gold and jade shops account for one-third of the number, which is extremely prosperous.
If it weren't for the lack of high-rise buildings, Luo Fei would definitely think that he had come to that developed city.
Duan Xinghe saw that Luo Fei and the thin monkey couldn't stop looking down the street, so he smiled and said, "Although Curran City is not as good as the old street of Kokang, its economy is also extremely developed. It's a deformed economic boom. Coming here, there are drug ~ lords from all over the world, and there are also adventurers who are not afraid of death, all of whom are people who spend money like water. If you don't give them a place to spend their money, it's a shame for the money in their pockets.
Most of the people here can speak Chinese and English, especially for business, so we have no language barrier here. And there is also a circulation of renminbi here, but unfortunately, we don't have it. ”
The thin monkey listened and asked with interest: "Old Duan, then they don't have their own money here?" Isn't this under the control of Burma? ”
Duan Xinghe laughed with the officer.
Duan Xinghe said: "Yes." Of course, Myanmar will issue its own currency, but it is just that there is no renminbi and dollar in it. Oh yes, and the euro is also popular here now.
However, if you want to talk about hard currency, it is still gold and heroin~ cause! ”
The thin monkey's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Here Hailo~ because he can be a money messenger?" ”
Duan Xinghe laughed again, and then explained: "Here, Hailuo~ is better than money." This is the city of Curran, and its owner is General Quincsay. General Quentsay's main source of wealth is the annual trade in poisons ~ products. Up and down, the most valuable and the most valuable here, of course, is heroin~ cause. Holds its value better than gold! ”
The skinny monkey kept clicking his lips as he listened. Luo Fei rolled his eyes when he listened. There is such an environment, and the Myanmar government is shouting every day to eliminate drugs~ products, and it is almost the same as you to eliminate a woolen yarn.
If you can't defeat these generals who rely on poison ~ products to maintain their rule, and eliminating poison ~ products is just an empty word.
The convoy quickly passed through the city of Curran and continued its march towards the military camp outside the city of Kunxay.
According to the officers who came to answer him, General Kunsay was not in the city of Curon for the past two days, and the military camp outside the city was headed by the second son, Kunlong.
Luo Fei asked from the side again, during this time, except for them, no guests from outside came here. Luo Fei knew in his heart, it seemed that they and the Scorpion group were traveling in different directions, and Kunsai should have gone somewhere else to meet the Scorpion.
So in this way, this second son, Kunlong, will have to win over well. (To be continued......)
