Chapter 188: Bargaining chip

After all, Zhang Shuquan was old in the arena. Although there was something in his heart, after the initial shock, he quickly stabilized his mind.
He seemed to fold up the report casually, stuffed it into his pocket, then cleared his throat and said, "Headmaster Bao really gave birth to a clever mouth. It's no wonder that your brother can send you here at ease, but what, you just said There is also a bit of truth. Our two families originally did not have any deep-seated hatred, but we have a common enemy. Therefore, it is not impossible to discuss this matter.
But there is one thing, how do you prove your sincerity to stop the war? What good is it for us to stop the war? After all, we have the upper hand now, don’t we? "
Seeing Zhang Shuquan’s sudden change in style, Bao Qixiang knew that the document he had just read was weird. Could it be that that happened? Wouldn't it happen so soon? The news came just when I arrived at Man Xing Dian? If so, then God helped me!
However, the best response at the moment is to respond to all changes with the same and continue to play according to the script.
So he opened his mouth and said: "The chief of staff is a sensible person. Of course, he can see the benefits of our two strikes. Our sincerity is real money. When I came, Master Bao explained that if General Kunza agreed to strike, In order to show our sincerity," he said slowly one by one: "We-we-can-take-take-oath-from-this-no-touch-opium-piece!"
"What?" Kunza and Zhang Shuquan exclaimed at the same time, and then both found their gaffes and looked at each other.
The Golden Triangle area is located at the junction of the three countries, with high mountains and dense forests, ravines and ravines. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. The surrounding Dai, Burmese, and Laos are not military powers, and there is no effective management and control here. And due to historical reasons, guns and weapons are flooded here, and the various armed forces entrenched are numerous. Even with Kunza's tyranny, he can't dominate the rivers and lakes. He is just the biggest force here.
Since the middle of the 19th century, Britain has introduced opium poppies to this region to balance its trade deficit and make it easier to earn black money. It opened the door of the ancient eastern empire through two wars and successfully legalized the opium trade. The most important economic pillar here.
The hot climate, abundant rainfall and fertile soil here are suitable for growing poppies, and the cultivation of poppies does not require intensive cultivation like other cash crops, and does not require pesticides and fertilizers. It is a real lazy crop. The benefits of planting one acre of opium poppy are equivalent to planting ten acres of other crops; the harvested opium is very storage-resistant and does not even require anti-corrosion measures. Therefore, people in this area quickly regarded it as a means of survival, even The currency of the transaction has been passed down for several generations, and many aborigines in the region can no longer plant other than poppies.
The addictive nature of opium smoking makes a large number of drug addicts unable to extricate themselves from it. It also brings endless financial resources to drug traffickers like Kunza. It can be said that in the Golden Triangle, opium is the development of their own armed forces. It can even be said that it is the only means of obtaining funds.
Now Bao Qixia's team vowed not to touch opium. Isn't that self-destructive?
Still Zhang Shuquan asked suspiciously: "If you don't touch opium, where does your money come from? How can you get supplies if you don't have money? Do you have any other ways to make money?"
Bao Qixiang said sternly: "Opium is the source of all evil. We didn't want to touch it. We just lost our heads some time ago. Our team has lofty ideals and ambitions. We will never give up righteousness for petty profits.
Moreover, we know that opium is your main source of income, and it was also the focus of friction between the two sides some time ago, so as long as we don’t touch, the two have a basis for a strike. As for other ways to make money, although we haven’t thought of it yet, However, there is always a road to heaven, there will always be a way, and the big deal is that we can grow food. "
Zhang Shuquan sneered in his heart. Just now I heard this Bao Qixiang talk loudly and scorchingly, and thought it was really a personal thing. Unfortunately, now it seems that he is just a Zhao Kuo who is full of justice and can only talk empty talk. Not only he is, but also he. That elder brother is also, what righteousness, don't you hear that "people die for money, and birds die for food." For the so-called righteousness, they bound their hands and feet and cut off their own foundations. Isn't that just what they want?
"Tianyu doesn't take the blame", that's it!
However, since the other party came to the door by himself, then the more benefits can be more important, and it is always right to take advantage!
Thinking of this, he pretended to admire and said: "Brigadier Bao can make such a sacrifice for justice. Zhang admires him. It seems that he is sincere in the strike of our two families. But, having said that, although you vowed not to touch opium , But after all, there are so many people and horses standing behind me, forcing us to mobilize our strength in case of an emergency, so if we really want to strike, then you must have a greater expression."
Bao Qixiang asked, "What do you want us to do according to Chief of Staff Zhang's intention?"
Zhang Shuquan said: Let’s take the actual control area as the boundary. Both sides will withdraw 20 miles back to establish a buffer zone. In the buffer zone, there should be no armed personnel and military facilities except the normal patrol teams of both sides. The patrol teams of both sides are arranged. You need to inform the other party in advance. At the same time, you promise that you will no longer recruit new recruits on a large scale, or transfer new troops from the old district, based on your existing armed forces, which is about 4000. How about? "
Bao Qixiang thought for a while, and said: "Then do it!"
Both parties were born recklessly and didn't pay much attention to it. They simply drafted an agreement in this room and signed it even if they reached a strike agreement. Of course, both parties knew the binding force of the agreement. There is no special care.
When the agreement was reached, Bao Qixiang did not need to delay and turned and left. He breathed a sigh of relief only after he walked far away. Only he knew it, but he was already sweaty.
Just talking in the house just now, it seems that the wind is calm, but in fact, he is also very nervous in his heart, for fear of saying the wrong thing, causing unpredictable results.
However, that manuscript is really useful, and it is worthwhile to memorize the lines for several days. When was the last time I endorsed it? Should I sit in Huaxia's quiet class by myself? Well, but his performance on the spot is also quite good. In other words, if there is no war in the future, do you want to try to be an actor?
With these messy thoughts in his mind, they joined together, and the two soldiers who were waiting outside the camp left together.
It wasn't until he walked away that Kunza asked Zhang Shuquan doubtfully: "Lao Zhang, what's the matter with you? It was you who started shouting, and now you are the one who promised to be so refreshing. Why did you suddenly change your mind? Really because of them. Moved by the proposed conditions?"
Zhang Shuquan solemnly took out the report handed by the staff and gave it to Kunza: "Look at it, this is the real reason I promised them. Today is just an opportunity, and it forced them to sign the alliance under the city. A few days later, when they got the news, I'm afraid they won't make such a condition.
Although the Dais did not really treat us in similar situations in the past few times, after all, it is a regular army of a country, and we have to deal with it with all our strength, otherwise, if the other party suddenly starts trouble, we will suffer. If Bao Qixia's team is not stable, we may be confronted by the enemy, and the pressure will be too great. "
Kunza took a look at the document, and only one line was written on it: Chasong Jibao, the Dai government has decided to launch a spring offensive, the target: Man Xing Dian.
After reading the document, Kunza's face faded and her expression became serious.
Cha Song is a Dai government official he bought. Although he is only a small Chiang Mai councillor, there are some military relations in his family. The information is quite well informed. Since he is so anxious to send information, he must have heard something.
Although Kunsa is strong and well-equipped, he has fought against Dai's troops several times. The two sides have not distinguished a victory or defeat. They often retired when they were half-fought, obviously not doing their best. But every time before filming with the Dai government, he inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart. It was the regular army.
However, it is said that I have always had a tacit understanding with the Dai government, and I am entrenched here, helping Dai blocking the route of the Communist Party of Burma’s eastward movement. Dai acquiescing in smuggling weapons and trafficking in opium. Come attack?
In the past, although playing was pretending to be, what if someone came here for real? Could it be that the attitude of the Dai government towards its own armed forces has undergone a fundamental change?
He looked at Zhang Shuquan, the military advisor and think tank he had always relied on.
Zhang Shuquan knew what Kunza was thinking, and sighed: "Actually, I knew that there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Since the Myanmar Communist Party fought several battles with the Burmese army in the past few years and failed to go south, it has gradually lost. I heard that Huaxia also cut off the aid to them. They have a very difficult life now, and they barely guard the original site to protect themselves. You can see the number and equipment they sent to the Golden Triangle team. .
Since the enemy has lost the ability to attack, what does the guard dog do? Besides, we have made a lot of noise in recent years. They are a country after all, and their face is still important. "
Kunza heard this silently, yes, the reason why the Dai country tacitly approves or even indulges himself, isn't it because he wants him to help them guard the western gate? Now that the threat is basically lifted, the sly rabbits are stubborn, the birds do their best to hide, and if they don't take the opportunity to eradicate themselves, are they still keeping them and let the whole world poke their backbones?
However, my own bargaining chip has never been a Dai government!
He sneered, "Hehe", since they are so unkind, don't blame yourself for turning your face and ruthless, let the old soldiers taste the power of my general Kunza, just as my "Shan Gang Republic" The first battle for the founding of the country is over.
Thinking of this, he rose up and pulled Zhang Shuquan, "Lao Zhang, let's go, go to the war room and make a total of them, and see how the battle is going to be fought. Besides, let me give you a message over there, saying that I want to order urgently. A batch of weapons and ammunition, I’d like to see how the gang of weak chickens from the Dai country can give us thousands of miles away!"
Zhang Shuquan Yinyin smiled and said: "It's time to teach them a lesson, don't hurt them, he really thinks that we are soft persimmons who are bullied!"
After that, the two of them laughed and went out with their arms.
It is a pity that neither Kunsa nor Zhang Shuquan would dream that their true opponent was not the Dai government, but a young man thousands of miles away.
Tan Zhenhua was thinking that day in Wenzhou. He was not only proposing the "Five Measures for Burmese", and not only helping Xie Li to sort out the military system, but also not only about weapons and equipment. Before he left, he gave Xie The stack of papers is full of possible situations and countermeasures.
Therefore, there was Bao Qixiang's endless talk and also this sudden action by Dai.
They didn’t even know who their opponents were. Of course, Kunsa and Zhang Shuquan were doomed to fail. Of course, they might get away with it this time, but a big net that they didn’t have any perception had already quietly covered their heads. What he can do is to struggle for a few more days in this network.
