Chapter 62: Missing My Homeland
According to the recollections of some Americans who participated in the "Lancang Secret War," Wang Bao and his officers used opium to pay special forces salaries in large quantities, and the Miao special forces also trafficked opium through the planes of the M National Airlines, and the opium trade made him very wealthy.
If the people of country M keep it a secret, it will always be a secret.
But the people of country M are not monolithic, and it is the people of country M themselves who disclose this secret. After the war, historians of country M, officials of the United States Agency for International Development, and CIA officials who participated in the secret war in the Lancang have all disclosed this secret story. Among them, the historian Alfred McCoy interviewed Miao farmers who were growing baby millet in Lancang at the end of the war. In fact, this disclosure shows only the tip of the iceberg.
Since the 19th century, Western colonialists have imported opium to countries around the world, including China, on a large scale, which has led to two opium wars with China. During the period of colonial rule, the French colonizers have always been the vanguard of the opium trade, and the income from the opium trade is also one of the important sources of funds for maintaining their colonial rule.
This drug factory at the foot of the Prey Mountain is probably the first opium processing plant secretly built by the French. During the war between country M and Annan, it became a drug processing plant controlled by the CIA of country M and actually operated by Wang Bao. After the defeat of the people of country M and Wang Bao in 1975, it became a secret underground stronghold of the CIA of country M and Wang Baotianwang's party.
"Bring Miao Lao over again!" Yu Songyuan ordered.
Hu Shibing and the witch together, and the Miao guy was escorted up, this thing thought that he was going to kill his head, and while walking, he whimpered and cried, and turned back from time to time along the way to plead with the witch walking behind.
"Anyway, you're carrying a gun, you have a bit of grace, don't you just kill your head? What are the words of those who weep and cry? Yes?! ”
The witch couldn't stand it, kicked the captive hard, and began to go berserk. The captive fell, got up, and followed him up to the bamboo building. Yu Songyuan and Lin Zhumin finally couldn't hold back their laughter, the dead girl was super funny. You're going to kill someone's family, and you won't let people beg for a few words?
"Whether you kill you or not, depends on whether you are honest or not. How is this underground base connected to the outside world, and how many exits are there? The captives knelt down on the bamboo tower, kept kowtowing and begging, and Lin Zhumin continued to interrogate.
"I say, I say it all! The gate is in the valley below, to ...... In the past, for a few months a year, boats from the Nam Kham River directly entered the Mekong River to connect with the outside world...... Nowadays this kind of shipping is extremely secret, usually at night. The big cave is ingenious, with only two hidden doors that lead to all parts of the mountain......"
"Who knows about this underground base? Does Wang Bao know? ”
"Wang Bao will ...... The army did not know that several officers of the Miao special forces who were responsible for the production and transportation of drugs were all killed in the battle, and some people said that they were exterminated by the people of country M. Now the specific location of this place, the details of the base, etc., I am afraid that only these white people know. The Siamese and Annamite people have quietly sent people to look for them, as well as some unknown international armed forces, and even European explorers, have also come to look for them, but we have all been wiped out. ”
"Why did the Siamese, the Annamite, the explorers come to find this base?"
"I don't know. I heard that the French smuggled a large number of rare treasures from China and hid them in this cave. However, after we arrived, we searched the cave carefully, and never found the treasure hidden by the legendary Frenchman. Maybe it's a legend, maybe it's ...... There is no ...... at all."
"What are these seven people doing in the cave now?"
"Some time ago, we fought several battles with Siamese, unknown forces, and Annamite, and killed many of them. It's been relatively quiet lately, and at this time, the seven of them should be in the barracks inside the cave. I usually sleep until noon before I come out to eat! ”
"What do the Miao people who were caught in the cave by you eat?"
"There is a lot of canned food in the cave, there is a river, there is a lot of rice, meat and canned food that has been dropped in the air, and there will be no hunger. Even if thousands of people live in it, they can support it for a few months, and they will never go hungry. ”
"There is so much food in the cave, why do you come out to rob other Miao people of the food to eat?"
"We eat those all day...... It's all canned, and I want to vomit when I look at it. We went out hunting regularly to get fresh food and to bask in the sun. In the cave, it is like night, and people who do not come out for a long time have no energy. I came out today, mainly because I wanted to eat the fresh prey of the Miao family hunters. Other than that...... It's also a female ...... who want to play with them People ......"
"Phew!"
Hu Shixiong's daughter, who was standing on the side, took a bite of him when she heard the words. The witch gave her a complicated look and twisted her head to the side. Although they are both women, the witch is clear and jade. The scene she saw when she first entered the bamboo building, the girl's indulgent, misty eyes and wild, devoted cry made the witch not feel good about her at all.
Miao Nu saw the witch's disdainful gaze and lowered her head in shame. This scene made the witch and Yu Songyuan look at each other in a daze. The eyes of the two of them jumped away in panic like a fawn, and their faces quietly turned red.
"How big is the hole?" Lin Zhumin is still interrogating and training the prisoners.
"You may not believe it, but this cave is a large karst cave formed over thousands or tens of thousands of years, and it is very big...... The main cave is several kilometers long and two or three kilometers wide, and the whole Pre mountain is empty......"
Lin Zhumin asked Hu Shixiong to bring in a wild goatskin hanging outside the bamboo building, turn it over and spread it on the ground. He took out a piece of charcoal that had cooled from the embers, and let go of Miao Lao's hand, "Draw all the terrain and structure in the cave!" ”
The captive lay on the sheepskin and painted for a long time, "This is this import, a machine-gun bunker." This is a small river, several kilometers long. This is the living area, this is the warehouse area, and these are permanent fire points...... There are five external observation posts, all manned......" he drew as he told the crowd.
Listening to his story, although everyone didn't believe it, everyone was still shocked. If this is the case, this cave can hide tens of thousands of soldiers. If it weren't for the chance to eliminate their core personnel, if it weren't for their carelessness in defense, it would have been impossible to defeat this hidden underground world with only a team of five people......
The witch waved her hand, and Hu Shibing escorted Miao Lao down again.
At this time, a hunter walked up to the bamboo building, whispered a few words to Hu Shixiong, and walked down again. Hu Shixiong bowed first, and then said in Chinese, "The people in the village have gathered, please give a lecture to the chief!" ”
"Do you know Chinese?"
"The people in our village came to Lancang from Dian Province and Qian Province in China around 1949 to avoid the scourge of war, and we can speak both Chinese and Lancang. We're all mature seedlings.,It's not a raw seedling that hasn't been sinicized.。 Chinese and Lancang are our main languages, and we can learn Chinese from an early age, and children will learn from an early age. ”
"An important reason for the Miao people to move south was to fight against the central government of the previous dynasties. Did your ancestors also follow the defeated army of the Kuomintang and flee to the primeval jungle of Lancang? The witch asked.
Hu Shixiong said, "No. Our ancestors were civilians, and the whole clan fled into the primeval jungle of Lancang to escape the war, not to fight against government forces. In 1951, China was resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, and we wanted to go back, but the border would not allow us to cross. A few years ago, Wang Bao was helping the people of M, and the Chinese army supported Lancang to resist M and helped Lancang build roads, and we sent people to contact us, but no one trusted us......"
"You think we are Chinese?" Yu Songyuan didn't want to dwell on these old accounts, so he changed the topic.
"I heard you just speaking Chinese. Besides, we are people who have been outcast by society, the Lancang official army, the Annan army, the local armed forces, and everyone bullies us. No one will be so nice to us except the Chinese. ”
Yu Songyuan made him shocked, could it be that the dignified brother team was so easy to expose?
"There are many people who can speak Chinese, not all of them are Chinese!"
Lin Zhumin couldn't help but interject, and said it a little more heavily. When Hu Shixiong and Hu Shibing heard this, they quickly knelt down, "Sir, don't be angry, we just guessed!" Back then, our ancestors left China spontaneously in the midst of war and chaos. If you don't let us go back now, we don't blame ...... at all."
"Alright, old Hu, I don't want to say these things again. Whether you are Chinese or not, we cannot confirm. But you are a jungle Miao, you can be sure. This stockade is temporarily managed by your brother, and the guns of these captives are used by you for hunting and protection. We're going to go into the cave at once and help you get the captors out. Yu Songyuan waved his hand and interrupted Hu Shixiong's words.
"Thank you, sir, the Miao family listens to you!"
Yu Song glanced at the witch from afar, and the witch made a gesture of power at the captive, her face was not white, and her anger was gone. In particular, when she saw that Hu Shixiong's daughter didn't take it seriously for being humiliated in front of her parents, she didn't feel a little bored. At this moment, she sat on a simple bamboo and rattan chair, staggering, closing her eyes and resting.
But as soon as Yu Songyuan glanced at her, she actually opened her eyes and asked, "Do you want to attack the ground cave now?" ”
This movement made Yu Songyuan's heart tremble, could it be that this evil girl still has a third eye on her head?
"Judging from the fact that the six men came out of the cave unprepared in the morning, there is a certain credibility in what the captives say. We should take it by surprise and attack the caves! ”
"From now on, military operations, everything is up to you! Without further ado, act fast! ”
After the witch finished speaking, she got up and stood up, and together with Yu Songyuan and Lin Zhumin, went downstairs to the center of the camp. At this time, the two captives had been smashed by women and children with small stones, and their heads were bleeding......
