I have a magical world.

With doubts in his heart, Chen Xuan remained quiet and continued to listen patiently.

Soon, I heard words like Myawaddy, Government of Myanmar, invite and so on in fragments.

As soon as the word Myawaddy appeared, Chen Xuan knew what these guys were planning to shoot.

He opened Little Blue Bird and Facebook and searched for related keywords.

After a while, I found a tweet posted by a shooting team of NOVA, a subsidiary of PBS in the United States.

He said that he had been jointly invited by the Myanmar government and the Buddhist Army and would go to the Myawaddy area to shoot a documentary on related geographical themes in the near future.

Since the Buddhist army defected from the Karen ethnic armed forces and officially took control of Myawaddy.

The Myanmar government has publicly announced internationally that it will control the local black ash industry.

Hope to seek economic assistance from ASEAN and the United Nations.

This move is mainly to wink at the United States.

You must know that so far, Myanmar is still subject to sanctions by the United States.

It includes six major categories of sanctions, six federal sanctions, and five executive orders issued by the president.

In fact, since the end of World War II, the United States' attitude towards Myanmar has been hovering between assistance and sanctions.

From 1950 to 1953, the United States assisted Britain in providing aid.

Imposing military "aid" with conditions such as economic "aid" to influence Burmese politics.

Myanmar has refused relevant assistance three times, and subsequently relations between the two countries reached a freezing point.

From 54 to 55, the United States continued to put pressure on Burma through international organizations. After the Chiang Kai-shek troops stationed in Burma withdrew from Taiwan, assistance was restored again, which lasted for 61 years.

During the subsequent military government period, aid became intermittent. Burma was deliberately blocked and excluded by Western countries for a long time, and was outside the mainstream international society.

In 1988, the Myanmar military regime came to power, and relations between the United States and Myanmar deteriorated overall. Bald Eagle began to arbitrarily announce and strengthen sanctions against Myanmar.

In the 99 Myanmar general election, the military refused to hand over power to the National League for Democracy, which won the election, and faced tougher pressure from the United States.

It was not until the spring of 03 that the anti-government forces in Myanmar were attacked and the Burma Freedom and Democracy Act (BFDA) was passed in the same year that the Bush administration took major actions against Myanmar.

In 07, the domestic situation in Myanmar escalated, conflicts between ethnic armed forces and the government military and police intensified, and the United States once again launched a new round of global sanctions.

The following year, the military government showed a tendency towards democratic reforms, and the Agency for International Development resumed its assistance activities to Myanmar.

Expanded to full restoration in '12.

The United States did not lift the state of emergency against Myanmar until 16.

Summarizing the above-mentioned national history, the reason why Myanmar does not breed mold is that, in addition to the lack of abundant oil in the country, the main reason is that the local ZQ (power) tendency has repeatedly jumped, coupled with the separatist rule of ethnic armed forces.

After the political transformation in 2011, Myanmar's political situation suddenly changed on February 2021, 2, and the military overthrew the NLD government.

Similar situations have played out many times over the past century.

Even the core government cannot carry the banner, let alone comprehensively resolve the jurisdictional issues in minority areas.

Moreover, Myanmar is also one of the few countries in the world where the United States cannot effectively replicate the "Guatemala" routine.

At that time, the CIA implemented a textbook-level ZQ replacement plan in Guatemala, and turned it into the back garden and banana plantation of the United States.

This planning template was later used by the United States in many countries and successfully led to civil strife.

But in Myanmar, this plan is difficult to put to use.

Its domestic warlord forces are deeply entangled, and the government changes very frequently without any special guidance.

This leads to an interesting phenomenon.

Whether it is the government or local ethnic armed forces, when they are short of money, they will immediately show their goodwill to the United States and ask for a few aids.

There are 135 ethnic minorities in this damn place, and at its peak there were more than 29 ethnic armed forces.

The bald eagle looked at it and shook its head.

And when they have money in their pockets and their backs become stronger, they will kick the United States away.

It is one of the few countries in the world that can steal the wool of the United States.

In order to maintain its international influence, the United States, a big dog player, often throws away money.

Chen Xuan, who had already researched and was familiar with this period of history, basically understood that this was another "begging" operation by the Burmese authorities after knowing the origins of these reporters.

Make a documentary and show the tendency of cooking, and the bald eagle will send a lot of help.

After receiving the aid, he made another change and told the United States: "We have replaced people, and we will no longer serve."

As for why the film crew chose to enter Myanmar from Siam.

This is because Myawaddy is also an "enclave".

Except for a few important towns in the Karen State where it is located, all other areas are under the control of the Karen ethnic armed forces.

In fact, the strength of the Myanmar military and police is not weak, and is stronger than any civilian armed force.

But they were unable to launch a thunderous blow to completely rectify the situation and establish a joint government.

Fundamentally, this is a chaotic country.

This means that it is difficult for documentary film crews to safely travel from Yangon or Naypyitaw to Myawaddy.

In comparison, it is safer to take another route to Siam Tak Hing.

After figuring out the whole story, Chen Xuan's expression became strange.

He knew exactly what kind of place Myawaddy was.

It is known as the last stop of the human trade, a paradise for smugglers, and a home for fraudsters.

It is possible to see floating suitcases in the River Moy and any of the local ponds.

Most of them were corpses with their organs removed.

If you want to change such a magical cave into a place suitable for being featured in a documentary, it will definitely take a lot of effort to cover it up.

"Fancy."

Chen Xuan raised his head slightly and then closed his eyes.

……

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the tour bus stopped in Dafu City.

The journey that originally took just over four hours to complete ended up taking seven hours.

We made some detours to some scenic spots along the way, and also made several shopping stops at the “rest area” selected by the bus owner.

Those "chirping" aunts exerted their due spending power and got on the bus carrying large and small bags.

Only Chen Xuan and a few American documentary reporters rarely got out of the car, and they did not engage in consumption.

These reporters also often request temporary parking so they can record footage.

Americans all have bodyguards, so they don’t seem to be easy to deal with.

So the manager of the car turned his dissatisfied eyes on Mr. Chen.

He turned a blind eye to this. Siam's tourism industry has been relatively sensitive recently, and these guys didn't dare to do anything to him.

Moreover, as a border area, Dafu often has unknown foreigners coming and going.

If you are unlucky, you will encounter desperadoes from neighboring countries.

Therefore, that guy only dared to vent his anger with his eyes.

While in the car, Chen Xuan had already thought about how to solve the next part of the journey.

After getting off the bus, the American reporter and the bodyguard got into an old Toyota Hiace van that they had been waiting for for a long time.
