Chapter 193: entanglement

When Zhang Shuquan arrived at the stronghold, he found that Kunza was already here. After asking, he knew that Kunza had always been upset recently, so after attending his birthday banquet, he did not go home, but went straight there. Here, he heard the gun body and also found the fire in the town of Man Xing Die. He was about to send someone to check it out, and Zhang Shuquan had already arrived.
After listening to Zhang Shuquan’s description of the scene, he immediately came to the exact same conclusion as Zhang Shuquan: The U.S. must have sold them!
Because, the Dai army has no helicopters that can be deployed at night!
Throughout the entire Indochina Peninsula, only the U.S. military base in Subic Bay, Philippines can have this kind of helicopters. Fortunately, they asked the U.S. citizens for help the day before to buy weapons and ammunition. But the gun was pointed at them!
The entanglement between the Miguo and Kunza has a long history, and its origin can be traced back to 1959.
At that time, Kunza was still a little-known stunned young man who was still an opium-seller under his father-in-law. At that time, the big chieftain of the Shan Gang was named Zhao Ruitai. This person played a key role in advancing the "Panglong Agreement". It was also the leader who signed the "Panglong Agreement" on behalf of the Shan people. However, it was this year that he was detained by the Burmese Jade Government and placed under house arrest.
Zhao Ruitai’s imprisonment aroused the anger of the Shan people. They quickly gathered more than 4,000 people under the call of another chieftain, Podwen, and took up their weapons again, and in one fell swoop they captured the weak defense of the Burmese army in Dangyang City. , Began a vigorous resistance movement, and this is also the beginning of the entire Burmese jade civilians and local military movement.
Due to the backwardness of equipment and the lack of basic military skills, this movement was finally annihilated by the Burmese jade government. However, the tenacious fighting will shown by the Shan armed forces in this struggle still moved everyone.
The failure of the Burmese jade government before, and the suppression of the latter’s actions also made all the Burmese jade ethnic minorities recognize their true colors. As a result, the various ethnic groups of Burmese jade began a wave of vigorous national independence movements. Torn apart, armed forces of all ethnic groups came together, and finally formed the current situation of hilltops.
Zhao Ruitai died of illness shortly after being put under house arrest by the Burmese jade government. His son went into exile in the U.S. and established an organization known as the "Shan history". In fact, he was engaged in buying U.S. politicians and gaining international support for the Shan armed forces.
The U.S. government at that time lost confidence in the dictatorship of Burmese Jade on the one hand, and on the other hand, it had to face the unfavorable situation of the Communist Party of Burma's vigorous expansion. In addition, it was in the quagmire of the Annan War.
And the Kunza team that has grown up, after the son of Zhao Ruitai hooked up with the US government, the two sides can be said to hit it off.
The CIA immediately started cooperation with Kunza, and a large number of advanced weapons and ammunition flowed into the hands of Kunza and his father-in-law, which strengthened his strength. Of course, these were not free.
With this, Kunza used this to conquer the South and the North, against the big and small forces entrenched in the Golden Triangle, either conquered or wiped out, or coerced and lured. In a short time, he rose strongly, and successively defeated several remnants of the fruit party and the former Golden Triangle After the boss Luo Xinghan finally occupied the top spot here.
At this time, he was very ambitious, and he was not only satisfied with the king of the Golden Triangle, he wanted to be the founding president of the "Shan Gang Republic"!
To this end, he needs more troops and more advanced weapons, and all these require more money to support. Therefore, in addition to opium, he also opened up a second source of financial resources—purifying opium to produce "No. 4". .
In just a few years, he built more than a dozen "No. 4" processing plants around Man Xing Die, with an annual output of 13 tons. He is quite managerial, even for the production of "No. 4". The number uses the unified packaging and trademark of
Double Lion Stepping on the Earth
. On the packaging, there are two lions stepping on the earth majesticly, and clearly marked in red traditional Chinese characters:
100% pure, smooth sailing, beware Counterfeit."
Unlike opium, it is easier to carry and smoke "No. 4", the effect is more violent, and at the same time, it is more difficult to quit. The "No. 4" produced by Kunsa has been shipped out of the Golden Triangle endlessly, and spread to all over the world via Daibei. The United States has become the largest market of course, with an annual inflow of 4.5 tons!
This move finally attracted the attention of the U.S. government and decided to re-examine the relationship with the armed forces of Kunza. In 1977, a delegation of congressmen led by former New York City Councilman Wolff was sent as an informal representative of the government. , Went to the Dai and Burma regions for investigation. The focus is to investigate the relationship between the "national independence movement" of the Kunsa Group and drug trafficking.
Of course, Kunza gave this delegation a warm hospitality and expressed his confidence and determination to establish a "Shan Gang Republic" to its members. At the same time, he also made it clear that once the "Republic" can be established and recognized by the United States , He will resolutely implement drug control and prevent one gram of drugs from flowing to the international community. His performance received the sympathy and support of Mr. Wolfe, and he reported to Mr. Carter, the then U.S. leader.
However, there are still sober people after all. Dr. Bonda, the anti-drug adviser to the commander, expressed strong opposition. He pointed out that if an agreement with Kunza is reached, it is equivalent to acknowledging the legitimacy of his organization. For Myanmar jade, a sovereign country, openly acknowledging the legitimacy of its domestic separatist forces will inevitably cause the United States to become passive in the international community, and it may cause a chain reaction in the already bad situation in the Indochina Peninsula, not to mention drug dealers. Oaths have always been impossible to believe even a single punctuation mark.
The Carter leader finally rejected Wolf's proposal and declared Kunza as a drug dealer at the official level, and issued a global arrest warrant.
However, all of this did not prevent the CIA from continuing to provide weapons to Kunsa so that it could continue to engage in operations against the Republic of Myanmar and the army against the Burmese Jade government.
Strange? Not surprising at all.
For the United States, as long as it is not the core ally, it must create a few blood-retaining ulcers in the opponent's body. This will not only affect the pace of the opponent's development, but also create any time when it is needed in the future. An excuse to intervene.
This trick is used by the CIA and has been tried and tested repeatedly, such as the origin of the dispute between China and the Diaoyu Islands.
Of course, the CIA also has a time when they are playing with fire. Now they don't know how much disaster an international fighter from Haosha and a bearded uncle who is fighting with them in Afkhan will cause them someday in the future.
After the U.S. government announced that Kunsa was a drug dealer and wanted, the U.S. government ostensibly continued to pressure the Dai country and stationed a special drug counter official, Mr. Mike Bauworth, at the U.S. Consulate in Chiang Mai. The original intention was to cut off Kunza's route of transporting drugs to the U.S. mainland through the northern area of ​​Daibei, so as to force Kunza to borrow China and lead to disaster.
As for Dai's use of troops to send troops, this is what everyone shows off. Every time the Dai government vigorously swears to march out, there is a strong momentum that will not break Loulan and will not return, but the other side is always ready to fight. Both sides find a position for you. Come and I will attack and kill, and then leave a few corpses to retreat. To say it was an encirclement and suppression, it would be better to say that it was a military exercise involving both sides with real swords and guns. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.
This Mr. Mike is very clear about his role. He came to Dai to perform this task with a holiday mood. The beaches of Dai are so famous, so he also brought his beloved newlyweds.
But how did he know that there is an old Chinese saying that goes well, called "the sky is unpredictable."
