Chapter 393, Entering the Golden Triangle Region

The Commonwealth Republic of Myanmar is a country located in Southeast Asia, bordering the Andaman Sea in the southwest, India and Bangladesh in the northwest, the People's Republic of China in the northeast, and Thailand and Laos in the southeast. It is one of the member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

There are about 52 million citizens in Myanmar, 68% of which are Burmese. The main legal minorities are Shan (9%), Karen (7%), Meng (2%), Kachin, Karen (1%), Chin (2%), Rakhine and Indians, Bengals, and Chinese (3%). However, the official Burmese currently does not recognize Indians, Bengals, and Chinese as legal minorities. The official language is Burmese, and a large number of people understand English and Chinese. 89% of Burmese believe in Buddhism, while others believe in Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Islam and fetishism in primitive tribes.

Myanmar is now a presidential country.

Xiao Shaolong and Ye Fei and the others came to the border of Yunnan.

Stop the car and pass directly from the border.

"Shaolong, I heard that this Burmese girl can marry one or betray her if she doesn't spend much money." Ye Fei thought of the beauty, and his eyes immediately shone.

Hu Zi said on the side: "Brother Fei, why are you so lustful! You think about women everywhere. If you go to Thailand and have sex with a shemale, haha, you will be tragic."

"Tsk! I'm different from you. You are incompetent, I'm not." Ye Fei said angrily: "I won't go to Thailand."

"Haha..." Canglang laughed aside.

Xiao Shaolong said: "Let's go over and find a car."

"Yeah!" The four nodded. They were all carrying bags, as if they were here to travel.

Therefore, people here basically don’t think they are alternative, because it is not a rare thing for Chinese people like them to come here to play. They have long been used to it and have become accustomed to it.

They found a car, negotiated the price, and drove towards the Golden Triangle area.

The Golden Triangle is where Xiao Shaolong is going. It is a place that everyone is familiar with but mysterious.

In the deep mountains and old forests, I don’t know how many tigers and heroes are hidden!

How many heroes in the world have scared and buried many lives? It is a place full of gloomy and terrifying. Every day, life is in that area, quietly disappearing.

The Golden Triangle refers to a triangle area located in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia. Because this area has long been rich in opium and other drugs, it is the world's main drug production area, making the "Golden Triangle" famous all over the world. The scope of the "Golden Triangle" roughly includes Shan State in northern Myanmar, Kachin State, Chiang Rai Prefecture in Thailand, northern Chiang Mai Prefecture, and Luang Namta Province in Laos, Fengshari, Udomsey Province, and western Luang Prabang Province. There are more than 3,000 villages and towns in total.

The Golden Triangle is rich in poppy and is famous for making opium, sea, Luo and other drugs through local warlords, drug lords, etc. The Golden Triangle region is known as the world's three major drugs,,,,,, and other drugs.

Under the strong anti-drug offensive by the Thai government, most of the drug-producing products are transferred to Myanmar. The Golden Triangle is the largest opium, sea, and Luo, in the world, and the planting area is more than 1 million mu. It produces 2,650 tons to 2,800 tons of opium annually, and the annual output of sea, Luo, is about 200 tons. A relatively recognized statement is that the Golden Triangle is the source of 20% of the world's opium supply, while the Hai, Luo, which is trafficked by the Golden Triangle region every year, accounts for 60%-70% of the world's total, and the Hai, Luo, in the region, can meet the global Hai, Luo, in two years' consumption.

In the 20th century, many well-known drug lords appeared in the area. For a long time, many anti-government armed forces and other drug armed forces have been active here, so they are also called "the paradise for adventurers". For example, Khun Sa, Luo Xinghan, Peng Jiasheng, etc. In order to produce and sell drugs, these drug lords organized a group of well-equipped local armed forces to openly compete with central governments such as Myanmar and Thailand.

The several local forces that produced the most drugs in Myanmar were: the First Special Zone Kokang, the Second Special Zone Wa State, etc. These places were actually controlled by local warlords, but they still surrendered to the Myanmar Central Military Government, had great autonomy and provided convenience for their own supply and trafficking of drugs.

From the late 1970s to the first few years of the 1980s, due to the Burmese and Thailand's armies intensified their attacks on the Kunsa Group and destroyed a number of poppy plantings. At the same time, the United Nations Foundation for Controlling Drug Abuse allocated special funds to implement the policy of grain replacement and coffee replacement poppy cultivation in the "Golden Triangle" region. It has achieved results for a period of time, and poppy production has dropped significantly, making the "Golden Crescent" in Central Asia once replaced the Golden Triangle and became the world's largest opium production base.

However, since 1986, the poppy production in the "Golden Triangle" has recovered and developed rapidly, with a sharp increase in output, which has greatly exceeded the historical record, and has once again become the world's number one opium production base.

The Hailuo, which is trafficked in the "Golden Triangle" region every year, accounts for 60% to 70% of the world's total, and the Hailuo in this region can meet the needs of global Hailuo for two years due to its annual production capacity. In January 1996, the armed forces led by Kunsa surrendered to the government. However, drug production in this region did not stop and is still the second largest opium-producing region in the world after the "Golden Crescent".

It was not until 2005 that relevant parties in the "Golden Triangle" announced that they would stop poppy cultivation and transform the production of rice, vegetables and sugarcane on a large scale. In 2006, the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Anti-Drug Department used satellite remote sensing monitoring and other means to measure that the area of ​​poppy planted in the "Golden Triangle" area was about 200,000 mu. The area of ​​poppy planting in the "Golden Triangle" area has dropped to the lowest point in 100 years.

Regarding the information about the Golden Triangle, Xiao Shaolong was on the way to make up for Ye Fei and the others.

"Kunsha, Luo Xinghan and the others don't mention it. Now there is a more famous drug lord, the guy with the code name Marshal, which has become the most resounding name in recent years. It is said that his armed forces have reached 100,000. It can be said that in this area, they are like crabs, walking sideways, especially the masters around him, there are even more like cow hairs. They are simply like emperors." Xiao Shaolong said lightly: "Of course, I'm not saying this to scare you, but just telling you to actually treat you."

"Marson, haha! I, Hu Zi, are not afraid of them." Hu Zi looked at Xiao Shaolong and smiled: "Can their marshal compare to our Tyrannosaurus myth?"

Indeed, when it comes to Xiao Shaolong, except for Zhou Laowu, Ye Fei and the others worshipped them as gods. In their eyes, even if they were beasts in the prehistoric world, they would not be afraid at all, because the leader in front of them was not someone else, but a mythical figure of a generation, "Xiao Shaolong".

"By the way, Shaolong, the golden triangle is so big, which area we are going to?" Ye Fei scratched his head and asked.

Xiao Shaolong took out his cell phone and looked at the text message from Hu Song, confirmed it, and said, "Kachin State x City x Land."

Kachin State is a Kachin Autonomous State in the northeast of the Federation of Myanmar. The capital is in Myitkyina. It borders the Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture and Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province, China, and the northern borders the Changdu region of Tibet Autonomous Region.

"Oh!" Everyone nodded.

In this way, when it was almost evening, they finally arrived at the x-city of Kachin State.

After getting off the car, Xiao Shaolong paid the money and looked at the city. Although it was not as prosperous as the big cities in China, it was not as good as New York in the United States, and naturally it was not as good as Tokyo in Japan. It can be said that this is a countryside, and it looks very backward.

However, this is not the most important thing for Xiao Shaolong. The most important thing is that the purpose of this trip is to wait until the day after tomorrow, go to the secret underground auction, find Solo, and obtain information about the so-called top ten killers.

Here, Xiao Shaolong first found a clean hotel and stayed in.

"Brother Fei, I know you have been here to perform missions before. I want you to find out where the auction house is located here before dark tomorrow." Xiao Shaolong ordered Ye Fei.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Brother Fei! Is it necessary to check this? Take some money and ask someone for a while and you can find it. As long as you look like a gangster, that's fine."

"Most of the underground auction houses here are from bad sources, but the government here does not seem to have much control over these, and these underworld forces are complicated. As long as they do not cause a big mess, the government army will definitely hold their wives and coax their children at home. Therefore, the underground auction house here will definitely not be too secret. As long as they are a gangster, they may know where they are." Ye Fei analyzed.

When Xiao Shaolong heard this, he nodded and said, "Yeah, it makes sense, then you go and ask!" He took a Burmese kyat and gave it to Ye Fei.

This is what Xiao Shaolong exchanged when he came, and the ratio of RMB to Burma Kyrie was "100:13500".

In other words, one hundred yuan can be exchanged for Burmese kyats of 13,500 yuan.

After getting the money, Ye Fei went out carelessly.

Half an hour later, Ye Fei returned.

"How is it?" Xiao Shaolong asked.

"It's done." Ye Fei patted the Burmese kyat in his hand and said, "It's done after spending less than 100,000 Burmese kyats."

One hundred thousand Burmese Kylies is equivalent to less than one thousand yuan. For Xiao Shaolong’s wealth, it is really not too much. It’s more than that little money to buy a pair of shoes. This Burmese people are really easy to pass!

Next, Ye Fei told Xiao Shaolong about the situation.

The one who hosted the auction was the local gangster, the Camel Gang, and their gangs, which were of different nature from the Chinese gangs. Their gang armed forces were no different from the army. They carried guns and blatantly said that if they were in China's territory, they would have been submerged by a harmonious army and could not have left one Mao.

The things that participated in the auction this time were the largest in recent years, so there would be a strong guard against that day. Anyone who didn’t know how to make trouble would be beaten into a sieve by their bullets.
