Mai Zayang is an area controlled by the Kachin armed forces in Myanmar, which was originally slash-and-burn, barren and depressed, and once cultivated and sold opium. Subsequently, under international pressure, the Kachin Organization announced a ban on opium poppy cultivation and drug trafficking. Having lost its opium, Kachin's income has plummeted, and they are eager to find another source of money to ensure that they can renew their equipment and survive the armed separatist war.

A man named Li Yangmo contributed to the Kachin organization and helped Mai Zayang design a set of blueprints for the gambling industry to promote the comprehensive development of the tourism economy. The Kachin group began to legalize the gambling industry and signed an agreement with Li Yangmo to establish an economic development committee to develop the gaming, tourism, and timber processing industries in Mai Zayang.

As a result, Mai Zayang once became the preferred place for gambling for mainland civil servants and ordinary gamblers. Due to the influx of a large number of domestic gamblers, pharmacies, clinics, telephone booths, shoe stalls, fruit stalls, and barbecue stalls have gradually appeared in Maizayang, and life has become more and more convenient. The population of Maizayang has increased dramatically from thousands to nearly 50,000, with many shops, bright lights, and lively nights.

However, the extremes of things must be reversed, and the country decided to ban gambling in the Maizayang area.

On February 5, Dehong Prefecture held a conference on the prohibition of gambling, coordinated the Dehong Border Detachment of the Armed Police, the Longchuan Police, and the border defense forces to intensify border inspections, block the convenient roads for illegal immigrants to participate in gambling, and suspend exit procedures. At the same time, the departments of communications, electricity, water supply and other departments coordinated the implementation of "three breaks and one stop" on Maizayang to cut off the basic conditions for the survival of all casinos.

On February 6, 70 casino workers in Maizayang were repatriated.

In the early morning of February 7, more than 6,000 people returned to the country, and Maizayang became an empty city.

But Maizayan has become the economic and cultural center of the Kachin-controlled region. Some analysts believe that in order to appease the anger of the people of Huaxia and respect the face of Huaxia, the Kachin organization had no choice but to abandon Maizhayang. But the Kachin forces are reluctant to give up gambling until they have other safeguards.

Three years later, a group of young Chinese tourists came here. Mai Zayang's main street is a 14-metre-wide concrete road with one- and two-storey concrete houses on both sides, the streets are empty and closed, only one hotel is open, and the cell phone signal has been reopened, but only a few shops are supporting it, looking forward to the return to its former glory.

"Brother Biao, it turns out that this place is very prosperous." The local tour guide, Xiao Ma, said proudly.

At the peak of Maizayang, you can see Mercedes-Benz, BMWs and big domestic bosses who come to gamble on the street a few steps away, and the comings and goings of gamblers bring rolling money to Maizayang.

Even within a year or two of the crackdown, there were still a few gambling halls here. At that time, most of the few gamblers in the gambling hall wore headphones and bet on the phone. These customers are gambling online, and due to the scarcity of gamblers, all casinos have introduced this remote-controlled gambling program. Gamblers can observe the situation in the casino through video, and the people who place bets are casino employees and big bosses.

Some loan sharks began to develop informants in the country, luring people to gambling in casinos to extract commissions. As a result, another emerging "industry", the "water release company", developed rapidly in Maizayang. Despite the depression of the casinos, the informants scattered by the water release company to the country have brought a lot of income to some "companies". The so-called "informant" is the "outreach" developed by the company in various parts of the country, that is, the person who pulls people to the casino to gamble. After the gamblers are pulled, the casino will withdraw a commission from the company according to the gambler's gambling money, usually about 2%.

However, since the domestic measures such as cutting off financial services, communication services, and power supply, and stopping the application of permits for traveling to other places at the border, Maizayang has been completely abolished, and has lost the soil and space for survival.

"Which army is in charge of the military force here now?" Xiao Xie asked.

"It's the 46th Kachin Battalion, and the Burmese Army also calls him the 46th Frontier Battalion." The pony replied.

"Got in touch?"

"You're making a big deal, and they said they'll meet you at noon at the Maizayang Hotel."

At noon, in the only hotel in Maizayang, which is open.

"I want to buy this place in Mount Mary, or rent this place, and you've read the plan. Arms and your much-needed food in exchange for your useless land. Ah Biao's tone was a little condescending.

"Ninety-seven kilometers of Mount Maili and the surrounding area are under internal self-administration for a period of 150 years, do you really think that we will sign such a contract? You're not buying land, you're trying to turn it into a concession. A dark and thin lieutenant colonel said, he was the battalion commander of the 46th Battalion, Wu Jilin.

The most important feature of the concession is its internal self-management, and it is not led and supervised by personnel sent by the leasing country, and the host country has lost its administrative, legislative, judicial, police, and military powers, so the concession has become a "state within a state" of the host country.

"After the Kokang region was recaptured by the Burmese political axe army in August last year, the Burmese political axe army is ready to start a war against your second special region. At the beginning of this year, the Tatmadaw reached an agreement to purchase 60 K-8 trainer/light attack aircraft jointly produced by China and Pakistan. The K-8s, which were likely to be used for ground air strikes, were equipped with 23 mm cannons, PL-7 missile pylons, and two 57.7 mm rocket launchers (each containing 12 rockets), as well as 50-250 kg bombs. In December, the Tatmadaw purchased an additional 50 Mi-24 attack helicopters and 12 Mi-2 transport helicopters from Russia. Now, eight Mi-24s have appeared at the air base in Myitkyina, where the Northern Command of the Political Axe Army is located. Xiao Xie is very close to these foreigners who speak Mandarin and look like himself, but it does not prevent him from suppressing the other party's confidence, "There is a problem with your American aid this year, and the arms and various supplies that should have arrived at the beginning of the year have been delayed, if the Burmese army attacks you at this time, on the one hand, it is the political axe army that has been strengthened by new weapons, and on the other hand, it is a coalition army that is unprepared and lacks medical treatment and ammunition. If you get our weapons aid, everything will change, all you have to do is rent out the house that no one lives in, it's as simple as that. ”

"The area of Maili Mountain plus your request is 97 square kilometers, with 1 administrative district, 6 natural villages, 347 households, and a population of 1,773 people. Maizayang has become the economic and cultural center of our Kachin-controlled area, and Maili Mountain is very close to it and has great development prospects. The cash or arms equivalent you pay at one time is 50 million dollars, which is also disproportionate. Guo Kaidong, deputy commander of the 46th Battalion, said, "And you also demand the implementation of internal self-management, which is not acceptable to the people when it is publicized, and it is very unfavorable to our Kachin side." ”

Ah Biao said very easily, "Your headquarters is not here, Maizayang is okay a few years ago, Maili Mountain is a barren mountain, and there is no mine to mine, we publicize and engage in tourism development and construction to the outside world, you can give us the right to security, your chairman and commander are not such indecisive people, bring back our goodwill, we are waiting for your good news here." ”

Three days later, Ah Biao and Xiao Xie signed a secret agreement with the Kachin Reading Force to exchange $70 million in arms for 97 square kilometers of land in the Maili Mountains area, which will be administered internally for a period of 99 years.

Ah Biao and Xiao Xie stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the tree-lined Maili Mountain

Before this military operation, Lei Dongdong, Ah Biao and Xiao Xie had repeatedly studied that this was a bold military adventure, even a gamble. The thunderbolt before the departure proposed three possibilities for this operation: first, the team could not stand after reaching Maili Mountain; Second, the team could not stand on a steady footing after reaching Maili Mountain; Third, the team is rooted in Maili Mountain. He went on to propose that we should resolutely avoid the first and second outcomes and strive to achieve the third. Because the result of the first is that the team is wiped out; The second result is to fight guerrillas there like guerrillas, and then completely collapse the army after a certain operation; To achieve the third result, you need to build a strong defensive line, Maili Mountain does not need to defend in depth, what you have to do is to rebuild the fortress-like three-dimensional fortifications that I built in World War II as quickly as possible, and we Wyverns need to train our team in Burma. It's easy to buy Mylisham, but it's up to you to get a foothold in Mylissan.

A week later, all 6 natural villages, 347 households, and 1,773 people in the area were notified, and after a month, they all went down the mountain and moved to a village near Maizayang, more than 40 kilometers below Maili Mountain.

The small natural village originally called Zhatanpu is now renamed Yinglong City. The whole city of Yinglong is under vigorous construction, and the original residents will get free housing according to the proportion of the population, and of course their land and houses on the mountain will belong to the municipal management authority, and the authorities will pay the residents compensation according to the proportion. Cash in housing compensation is not the main factor that makes the aborigines leave their homes, and one of the news that has decided to relocate their families after a long journey is that Yinglong City wants to recruit a large number of workers among them, and if the family does not cooperate, they will lose their political axe jobs with a salary of 1,000 yuan a month. The scope of recruitment is very wide, and there is basically no restriction on age and surname, but don't complain if you come late.

"Xiao Xie, this trick has worked, the next step is for you to build here and attract the attention of others, and I will take people to the mountains." Ah Biao looked at the construction site where the machines roared and said that these machines and employees were all hired at high salaries in China, and a batch of new machinery would be made into the mountains by his own people, and now there are nearly 400 Flying Dragon Club personnel in Myanmar.

Xiao Xie Jue's time is not enough, "You take everyone away, tomorrow the little bald head will arrive with the last group of people, that is more than three hundred elites." ”

In addition to the last batch of supplies for the Kachin Reading Army, the little bald head also had his own heavy weapons, including multiple rocket launchers with 240 mm truck chassis, as well as Russian-made 107 mm Type 63 and 122 mm Type 90 multiple launch rocket systems, SA-16 anti-aircraft missiles, and "Hound Dog" MKII (Bloodhound) surface-to-air missiles, as well as early warning radar Type 2L117 from Russia.

"The boss's gold is only doing business with the Russians, but it can't last long if it only goes in and can't go out, Xiao Xie, see if you can expand this place a little more, and turn it into a casino or something in the future, so as to increase some income for the club." When Ah Biao was in Maizayang, he had an idea about whether to open up a financial source to reduce the burden on the club.

"I think so too, you see that in the east, I arrange for the aborigines, in the north, the highest terrain here is our camp, in the south is designed to be schools, hospitals, political axe departments and other supporting facilities, and in the west, I want to make a big consumption area." Xiao Xie wanted to wait for Ah Biao to come back from the survey task and talk to him in detail.

"I think it's bigger, the sewers should be high, like in American movies, our city is 100,000 people, it's too small to turn around." Ah Biao likes to get his surname good once, and when the boss comes here, he is digging holes and filling holes, and he is not the domestic foodie who does the project, and he will be reimbursed if he doesn't dig or fill in the place.

"Okay, I'll make it bigger, according to the standards of big cities, we will design our own city, and when you come back, I will show you the model." Xiao Xie said ambitiously. (To be continued.) )
