When Canno rose to prominence in the Golden Triangle, almost no one knew where he came from, so no one cared much about him.

But by this time, Canno was already in his infancy. After years of painstaking management, Kanno built up an army of more than 1,000 men in the Thai-Burmese border area, making a strip of Burma bordering Thailand the center of his operations, and Kanno controlled more than a dozen villages, and chose one of them to expand into a market town.

This market town is in a valley, surrounded by mountains, densely forested, with difficult terrain and abundant water.

It is home to members of the Canno Group and their families. There are hundreds of houses in the town, all of which are bungalows with reinforced concrete pillars and brick walls.

There are electric lights, liquefied petroleum gas, running water, and a television. The town has bazaars, hospitals and schools, squares and temples, and even a football field.

The town also has an arsenal and a military training ground. Canno used the huge profits from selling drugs to build a well-trained and sturdy army.

Because Canno knows that in a territory as complex as the Golden Triangle, there is nothing without a gun. Kanno's army, which is mainly composed of young people from Myanmar's mountainous ethnic minorities, has become increasingly combat-ready under the training of professional military instructors.

Cannaught's army is equally important. He is usually easy-going, and although he sells countless drugs, he does not take drugs, and his subordinates are not allowed to take drugs.

Anyone who finds his subordinates taking drugs can be executed on the spot. Canno's army was on a supply system, with each soldier paid a monthly stipend.

Middle-level and above officials hold shares in other operations of heroin refineries according to the size of their positions, and dividends are distributed according to shares.

Therefore, Canno's men are very financially well-off, so most of them are desperate to work for Canno.

Of course, Canno has also been surrounded and suppressed by government forces, but they have many eyes and ears and are well-informed. When the Burmese army attacked from the Burmese side, they slipped into Thailand; When the Thai-Burmese army joined forces to encircle and suppress him, they infiltrated Laos, and the governments of various countries did not pay much attention to him, so Kanno had nothing to lose.

Another important reason for Canno's rise in the Golden Triangle is that he skillfully exploited the long-standing national problems and contradictions in the Golden Triangle.

As he grew his wings, Canno followed the advice of his right-hand man Pinner and entered the political arena, naming the armed forces the National Revolutionary Army.

At the same time, it declared: struggle for the freedom and independence of the compatriots of the mountain ethnic minorities. They manufacture and traffic drugs only to finance the independent revolutionary movement of the hill ethnic minorities.

In this way, Canno turned from a drug addict into a national hero, and transformed the manufacturing and trafficking activities he engaged in into a sacred process of struggle for national independence.

As a result, although Kanno was surrounded and suppressed by the Burmese army, he won the support of the hill ethnic minorities and anti-government figures.

It cannot be denied that this speculative behavior of Canno is indeed a rather clever and successful political breakthrough.

His political speculation won the admiration and recognition of some people abroad. It is said that, in accordance with the principle of protecting human rights, the United States sent an unofficial delegation to the Golden Triangle to investigate the relationship between the revolutionary movement for national independence and drug trafficking in Kannor.

Later, the report of the American delegation's visit was full of sympathy for Canno. At this time, Canno's business was getting bigger and bigger, and his influence began to enter Thailand.

After Canno's business entered Thailand, the Golden Triangle of drugs developed faster and production increased dramatically.

Kanno also took advantage of Thailand's convenient transportation, opening up to the outside world, and close relations with Western countries to divert drug exports from Bangkok.

As a result, the drug problem in Thailand has become increasingly serious, and criticism of the Thai Government has poured in both inside and outside Thailand.

Canno's business has caused great concern and unease in the Thai government. The former Prime Minister of Thailand pointed out: We have ignored this situation for a long time, and we have always believed that Kanno is just a small group and does not see any harm.

It's like a sarcoma in a human body, which at first thought it was an ordinary meat particle, but now it has finally become cancerous.

This is very dangerous for our country. In order to expel Canno's business from Thailand, the Thai government has taken a number of measures.

In 1978, hundreds of Thai and Burmese troops carried out a large-scale sweep of Kanno's base in Thailand by helicopters provided by the United States; Later, the Thai government offered a bounty for Kanno's head; The Thai Military Police (TMC) contingent went deep into Kanno's base in Thailand but was unsuccessful in capturing Kanno.

Later, the Thai military police searched Kanno's home in Bangkok, but could not find any trace of him.

Later, at the strong request of the U.S. government, the Thai army dispatched heavy troops to occupy Kanno's base in Thailand in one fell swoop, driving Kanno's main force into Burma.

However, Kanno was not devastated, and after a period of resistance under his command, he sent a small force to fight the Thai military and police.

He first sent troops across the river from the Burma-Thai border to attack the police stations and the Thai Farmers Bank in Yesai County and Lizhan City, killing many policemen and civilians and burning many cars. Later, troops were sent to burn cars on the highway and break into villages to loot farmers, causing residents to close their doors and tourists disappear.

Kanno also threatened to send troops to attack Chiang Rai province and sack the city of Chiang Mai. Several attacks and intimidation by Kanno have caused a stir in northern Thailand's towns and towns, with residents fleeing south.

Even the UN anti-drug organization Chiang Mai office and the U.S. consulate in Chiang Mai were frightened, evacuating family members and general staff to Bangkok and demanding greater protection from the Thai military and police for their institutions in Chiang Mai.

After that, Canno did not take any action, but calmed down and was not heard from for more than a year. It wasn't until two years later that his name appeared in a Thai newspaper.

In order to establish his image and promote his ideas to the outside world, Canno met with the newspaper's reporters.

Kanno claimed: "For many years, we have embarked on a revolutionary movement for national independence, and we have called for independence from Burma and hope that Burma will recognize us.

But instead of being liberated, we were arrested and imprisoned, and forced to take up arms.

Initially there were only a few dozen of us. Today, we are a regular army. Burma wants to conquer us, because they know that our land is very rich, with forests, gold, copper, uranium and other minerals, jade, rubies, and agriculture.

We want to export to them, and we need assistance, because we lack everything. There are no doctors, no medicines, no teachers, and no schools.

I wrote to the Yangon government to negotiate business with them, but they sent a large army to surround me.

Since they don't give us peace, then fight! I wish my people happiness. We produce opium and sell opium to support our wars and win our wars.

。 Our hearts are brave and fearless.?
