I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: Dragon Country Reporter Liu Xiao

At the regular press conference of Long State, a reporter from Myanmar Daily asked a question.

“Recently, war has resumed in the Golden Triangle. An armed group called Legion has occupied most of the eastern Shan State. It is reported that this armed group has Chinese as its backbone and is equipped with various advanced equipment. What do you think of the Long Kingdom? ?”

Facing the reporter’s question, the Longguo News spokesperson pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: “We have noticed that countries in Southeast Asia, especially those in the Golden Triangle region, are very concerned about the new armed groups that have recently emerged in the Golden Triangle.”

“Longguo is also concerned about the situation in the Golden Triangle and calls on all parties to rationally view the historical issues left by the Golden Triangle and effectively crack down on criminal activities such as drug trade, poppy cultivation, telecommunications fraud, and the black market of human organs.”

“Regarding the turbulent situation in Myanmar, Dragon State does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and hopes that Myanmar can peacefully resolve internal disputes.”

“And kindly remind the Chinese in Myanmar to pay attention to their personal safety and if they encounter difficulties, they can seek help from the local consulate or the embassy in Myanmar.”

After saying a lot of words, the Longguo News Spokesperson motioned for the next reporter to ask questions.

For a national-level press conference like this, the questions asked are all prepared.

Generally speaking, it is a topic of concern in the current international situation. Longguo expresses its attitude through press conferences.

Naturally, there won’t be any blind reporters who directly come up to ask whether the new military group in the Golden Triangle is supported by the Dragon Kingdom. This kind of question will not be answered and will be permanently disqualified from participating in the press conference.

However, everyone here is a journalist. They speculated on the meaning of the Longguo news spokesperson’s words, and then edited it in their own language and prepared to send it back to the country.

Among the reporters below, a young man wearing a blue T-shirt and with a strong figure can be seen typing simultaneously on a laptop to record the news.

When the press conference was over and he was packing up his equipment and preparing to leave, a diplomat stopped him.

“Liu Xiao, come here for a moment.”

As a reporter for Longguo News, his experience of conducting interviews in dangerous areas abroad many times told Liu Xiao that something big was going on.

So I followed him silently.

The diplomat took Liu Xiao to a side hall, where some people had already gathered.

Liu Xiao saw a senior foreign affairs director talking to a middle-aged man.

“Oh, Liu Xiao is here.” The senior foreign affairs director called Liu Xiao’s name cordially.

“Director!” Liu Xiao said respectfully.

“Sit down.” The Director of Foreign Affairs motioned for Liu Xiao to sit down.

Then he introduced: “This is Zhang Shaoqian, the general manager of the Southwest Region of Overseas United Bank.”

“Hello, Manager Zhang.” Liu Xiao and Zhang Shaoqian greeted each other with smiles.

Overseas Union Bank is an overseas Chinese bank on the surface, but the shareholders behind it are several official banks of Longguo. It can be said to be an external channel of Longguo overseas.

That night, Liu Xiao and Zhang Shaoqian got on a direct flight from the capital to Yunnan Province.

On the plane, the two began to communicate for the first time.

“Reporter Liu is well-known in the journalism world. I have also read the reports about him going into the slums of Rio to interview drug lords. I can only say that I am in awe of him!” Zhang Shaoqian praised.

Liu Xiao replied: “Manager Zhang, thank you. You have been active in Southeast Asia for a long time. You must be very familiar with the situation in the Golden Triangle. I would like to ask you to give me some advice.”

A regional general manager of a banking group and a reporter from Longguo News. This combination is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

“Reporter Liu should know that several warlords in the Golden Triangle, such as the Mongla Army, the Kokang Army, and the Wa State Army, were all splintered from the United Army of Myanmar. They have a high proportion of Chinese and a high degree of Chineseization, although we did not export them to the outside world later. , but we still maintain certain non-governmental commercial cooperation with them.” Zhang Shaoqian said slowly.

Following Zhang Shaoqian’s introduction, Liu Xiao gradually understood some of the conditions of the Golden Triangle.

Warlords in northern Myanmar often cooperate with the Long people. Among them, the Hualian Group has commercial investments in Mongla County on the border, Jingdong City in the hinterland of the Golden Triangle, and Bangkang, the capital of the Wa State Army.

“I would like to ask, are those warlords in the Golden Triangle like the Wa State Army and the Mongla Army also drug lords?” Liu Xiao asked with a solemn face.

He also checked some basic information before setting off, and knew that the Wei Tianze brothers from the Wa State Southern Special Administrative Region were wanted drug lords, and that Bao Jiaxiang also had a wanted reward internationally.

Zhang Shaoqian said with a wry smile: “Those warlords in northern Myanmar are openly advocating the elimination of drugs, actively introducing other cash crops and developing tourism, gambling and pornographic industries.”

“Now those poppy plantations have moved deep into the mountains. They cut down valuable trees on the hillsides and river valleys and sell them to timber merchants, and then the cleared areas became new poppy plantations.”

“In urban areas like Mongla County, it is almost impossible to see opium poppy cultivation, and the drug trade is also left to the people below. If it causes trouble, the relationship will be thrown away.”

Liu Xiao nodded slowly.

This method is not as arrogant as the drug lords in Rio and Western Mexico. Unless they carry out massacres like Nuokang, which arouses international public opinion and allows various countries to jointly arrest them, under normal circumstances these warlords are rarely suppressed all the time.

“｀.How much information do you have about the newly emerged armed force called Legion in the Golden Triangle area?” Liu Xiao asked again about the goal of their mission.

As the representative of Hualian Group, Zhang Shaoqian went to Jingdong to discuss private business transactions. Liu Xiao, as an investigative reporter, may have to go deeper and investigate the Chinese Longguo people who were previously kidnapped to the Southern Wa State Special Administrative Region, as well as those who were deceived. Chinese people from the Long Kingdom who came to northern Myanmar to do a special report on Kyrgyzstan.

This is the mission of the two people on the surface. Secretly, the two of them want to observe various intelligence in the legion’s area and report back after returning home.

Hearing Liu Xiao’s question, Zhang Shaoqian shook his head and frowned: “To be honest, I have been to Mengla County before, and my staff (Hao De Zhao) also went deep into Jingdong, but I have never heard of it. There has never been such an armed force.”

“It was as if they appeared out of nowhere and suddenly defeated several major warlords in the Golden Triangle. If our superiors hadn’t ordered us to conduct an in-depth investigation, I would have given up on the investment project there.”

“No information at all?” Liu Xiao felt surprised.

In the past, when I interviewed drug lords in Rio, I was able to find more or less information on how those drug lords came into being.

But this time, Liu Xiao conducted various inquiries on the Internet, and the furthest news was only a dozen days ago. A group of Chinese from the Long Kingdom were deceived into traveling to Siam and then kidnapped to the South Wa Special Zone in the Golden Triangle.

Then, the Southern Wa Special Administrative Region fell into war.

With questions in mind, Liu Xiao and Zhang Shaoqian quickly arrived at the provincial airport in Yunnan Province. After joining the others, a convoy began to head towards Bianluo Town on the southern border.
