Chapter 587 Entering the Golden 3 Corners

Chapter 587 Entering the Golden Triangle

(Chapter 580 VI was blocked, and repeated applications for lifting the ban were rejected. I didn’t know what to change, so I had to give up. The brief introduction is as follows:
Gao Jiu spent 900 million oceans to import and store a large amount of grain from abroad in preparation for the severe drought in the southern part of Henan in the coming year.Provided information related to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to relevant personnel such as the Soviet Union and big shots. )
After introducing the b-24 Liberator bomber, Xiao Yatong wrote in the telegram: "Dear Ah Jiu, take good care of yourself, and look forward to your coming to the United States and becoming my driver again. Love you big Miss!"

After reading Xiao Yatong's telegram, Gao Jiu had a smile on his face, and Xiao Yatong's voice and smile appeared before his eyes.He was very nostalgic for the experience of working as a driver next to Xiao Yatong. Life at that time was very simple and warm.

Chongqing, Aviation Committee.

Madam received a telegram from Gao Jiu and said to Ouyang Xue: "Mr. Gao has provided the Aviation Committee with 50 of the latest b-24 Liberator heavy bombers, and the price is only 70% of the price purchased by the U.S. Air Force Kai. These heavy bombers And related ground maintenance personnel, will fly to China together with the U.S. China Aid Air Force.

This is really great news and you would like to thank Mr. Gao on behalf of the Aeronautical Committee and me. "

Ouyang Xue said: "Cousin, my ninth brother said that the US Department of Defense is under too much pressure on the order of the b-24 heavy bomber. He will find an opportunity to continue to provide this kind of heavy bomber for the Aviation Committee. The price is The discount is actually out of his own pocket. Because the American Airlines Consolidated-Voltee Company that produced this heavy bomber has his shares in it, and even the blueprint of this bomber was provided by him."

"So that's how it is! Gao Jiu is truly a legendary figure, and his level of excellence is unimaginable. Cousin, the big man told me that as long as Mr. Gao returns to Chongqing, I will personally arrange the wedding for you."

A blush flew over Ouyang Xue's face, and she said with some expectation and some worry: "He might not agree to this matter."

Madam said seriously: "No, our family's Ruoxue is so excellent, she is a perfect match for him, he will not refuse. If he dares to refuse, I will never end with him."

Having said that, Madam couldn't help but giggled.

On December 12, Japanese troops invaded Thailand.

On December 12, Gao Jiu's long-awaited news came. The British Governor in Myanmar invited Gao Jiu and the Kokang Regional Self-Government Committee to Yangon for talks to discuss matters related to jointly resisting the Japanese invasion.

On December 12, Gao Jiu and Wang Guisheng, director of the Kokang Regional Self-Government Committee, flew to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, and had talks with the British Governor in Myanmar. The direction of the Japanese attack.

It is also important that the British Governor-General in Burma agree to the permanent self-government of the Kokang Self-Government Committee.Although the British will soon be beaten away by the Japanese, with the recognition of the British Governor in Burma, the future Burmese government will not be able to entangle in this.

The Kokang Autonomous Region agreed to serve as Myanmar's strategic rear area, providing food and other supplies to the British troops in Burma. When necessary, the British troops could retreat into the Kokang region.

On December 12, Gao Jiufei returned to Ruili.

October 10.Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Tian Chuan, Li Chengwu, and Zheng Sanpao led 25 members of the Taohuashan Special Forces, 720 members of the construction company's self-defense force, and 1200 grassroots cadres in the Golden Triangle area, and officially entered the Golden Triangle.

“金三角”总面积约15~20万平方公里,这个面积相当大,比欧洲大部分国家都大的多。英国本土不过24万平方公里、此时的德国本土不过26万平方公里、日本是37万平方公里。

"Golden Triangle" refers to a triangular area located in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia. Because this area has long been rich in drugs such as opium and is the main drug producing area in the world, the "Golden Triangle" is famous all over the world. The scope of the "Golden Triangle" roughly includes Shan State, Kachin State in northern Myanmar, Chiang Rai Province in Thailand, northern Chiang Mai Province, and Luang Namtha, Phongsali, Oudomxai Provinces, and Luang Prabang Provinces in Laos. In the west, there are more than 3000 villages and towns.

Located at the junction of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand in Southeast Asia, the Thai government erected an archway engraved with the words "Golden Triangle" at the junction of these three countries, so this area is called the "Golden Triangle".

The "Golden Triangle" is blocked by traffic and the folk customs are tough. It is a three-way area. The official forces of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar cannot survive here.

There are dozens of warlord forces, large and small, in the "Golden Triangle", just like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in ancient China.

The reason why Gao Jiu strongly supports the Kokang Autonomous Committee is that apart from the fact that this area is dominated by Han people, there is another important reason, that is, a part of Kokang is located in the Jinshanjiao area, and the main part of Kokang is in the Shan State of Myanmar. , the Golden Triangle includes part of Shan State.

Gao Jiu can rely on the Kokang area and communicate with the mainland of China through them, so that he has a very reliable strategic rear.

At the beginning, when Gao Jiu was considering the future development prospects, the Golden Triangle area was not a good choice if he only considered it from the perspective of economic development.The traffic here is blocked, the infrastructure is very weak, and the industrial base is basically zero, which will seriously restrict economic development.

He once considered Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, countries with a relatively large number of Chinese. After all, the Chinese in these countries are still a minority. Due to the convenient sea transportation and lack of strategic depth, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the face of powerful sea and air forces. .

The strength of the three countries around the Golden Triangle is relatively weak. Gao Jiu can easily open up the situation here, and there is a good channel between the Kokang area and the interior of China. As long as the transportation infrastructure is strengthened, the channel for connecting the Golden Triangle area to the outside world will be opened. .

The Golden Triangle is not far from the Mekong River. In the future, if we occupy or lease an outlet of the river, the road on the water will be opened.

The reason why Gao Jiu chose the Golden Triangle, apart from personal considerations, if he had to set a great goal, was to contribute to eradicating the harm of drugs in the world.

The Golden Triangle has a humid climate, fertile soil, and plenty of sunshine, which is very conducive to the growth of poppies. Local drug lords and local warlords are famous all over the world for producing opium, heroin and other drugs.The Golden Triangle area and the Golden Crescent area on the borders of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, and the Silver Triangle area on the borders of Colombia and Venezuela are also known as the world's three major drug sources.

In order to eradicate drugs, there must be a strong and unified organizational structure in this area, which can exercise comprehensive control in all aspects of politics, economy, culture, and education with an iron fist.

You must be famous for everything you do. Gao Jiu marched into the Golden Triangle, first of all under the banner of anti-Japanese, and then to eliminate the dangers of drugs.

With the help of the Kokang Area Setting Committee, Gao Jiu established a logistics supply station in the southern area of ​​Kokang. On January 1, he officially entered the Golden Triangle area.

Gao Jiu and others first entered the Wenshan area of ​​Shan State, which is a small basin with 52 villages and towns, controlled by the local warlord Wen Likun.

Wen Likun is a local drug lord, with more than 300 people under his command, occupying Mawan Town, the largest town in the area.

Wen Likun is the local emperor. He has a violent temper and is extremely cruel. He set up a water prison in his home and threw people who he disliked into it at will. He bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil. The local people hated him .

In Shangshui Village by the Mawan River, accompanied by Miao Lun, a member of the grassroots cadre training class in the Golden Triangle area and a native of the village, Gao Jiu met the village head, Ma La Nian.

Mara is 53 years old this year. She has a clear face and a long beard. She looks like an elder.When he was young, he studied in a school run by the British in Manila. After returning to his hometown, he served as the mayor of Mawan Town and enjoyed high prestige in the local area.

After Wen Likun occupied Mawan Town, Malanian resigned from the position of mayor and returned to Shangshui Village as the village head.

Mara Nian likes to read and can speak English, Chinese and Burmese. When the villagers go out, they will bring him newspapers in English and Burmese. There is also a radio in his home, so he knows more about the outside world .Some people from this village also went to mainland China to do business. He had heard about Gao Jiu.

Miao Lun is Maranian's nephew. When the trading company recruited students for the training class, he asked his uncle for advice, and Maranian supported him to go out and see the world.After Miao Lun participated in the training class, he admired Gao Jiu so much that he wrote a letter to his uncle about what he had seen and heard, which deepened Malanian's understanding of Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu also learned about Mara Nian's situation in advance, knowing that he likes to read and his right leg joint is a bit rheumatic, so he specially brought him a high-power radio, some English books, and tiger bone for treating rheumatoid arthritis Ointment and other medicines.

After seeing Mara Nian, Gao Jiu followed the local etiquette and saluted him as a junior.

Seeing that Gao Jiu respected him so much, Malanian had a good impression of him, and treated Gao Jiu warmly with the etiquette of locals receiving distinguished guests.

Gao Jiu spent the whole day gaining an in-depth understanding of the local politics, economy, customs and customs.

On January 1, Gao Jiu launched a campaign to encircle and wipe out Wen Likun. In order to get rid of the evil and avoid future troubles, Gao Jiu immediately dispatched Wang Zhankui and Guo Hengming's two special operations squadrons, as well as the construction company self-defense team led by Tian Chuan. Taking advantage of the darkness, the troops, under the leadership of Miao Lun and other locals, completely surrounded Mawan Town.

At two o'clock in the morning, under the command of Wang Zhankui, the troops belonging to Taohuashan launched an attack on Mawan Town. After half an hour of fighting, Wen Likun's gang was wiped out and Wen Likun was captured alive.

Next, Gao Jiu divided the [-] grassroots cadre training students into dozens of groups. Under the protection of the construction company's self-defense team, he formed a grassroots working group, entered all the villages and towns in Wenshan area, and wiped out Wen Li. The grassroots personnel appointed by Kun completely eliminated his influence.

The grassroots working group sent 30 catties of rice, one catty of salt and two catties of sugar to each family. For the sick villagers, they applied to the medical team of the Taohuashan Special Forces to send people to treat them. These measures won the favor of the local people.

With the help of Mara Nian, influential people in the Wenshan area were convened and a symposium was held.

After three days of full discussion and negotiation, a consensus was reached:

Under the leadership of the Taohuashan guerrillas, the Wenshan District Administrative Committee was established. The committee has a total of 12 members, Han and other nationalities, each accounting for 50%, and the director of the committee, Mara Nian.

On January 1, the inaugural meeting of the Wenshan District Administrative Committee was held in Mawan Township.

Before the meeting started, a public trial meeting was held for Wen Likun and 11 of his subordinates, and they were executed on the spot.

The people in the Wenshan area have been oppressed by the Wen Likun gang for a long time. This result is very satisfying, and the people applaud.This move deepened the local people's support for the Taohuashan guerrillas.

After the establishment of the Wenshan District Administrative Committee, a series of policies were announced one after another.

Gao Jiu first implemented democratic elections in 52 villages and towns in the Wenshan area.

Accompanied by Mala Nian and others, they first took Shangshui Village as a pilot, and carried out the election of the village committee with the participation of all villagers.

在上水村16岁以上872名村民,其中18岁以上的村民593人,男性304人、女性289人。

Before this election, women did not have the right to vote. Gao Jiu resisted all opinions and announced that women also had the right to vote.This alone has won the support of most women.

When the election started, Malanian and others didn't know what to do because most of the people in the village were illiterate.

Gao Jiu told them a method, and everyone thought it was feasible.

The underground party has made many pioneering works. When conducting democratic elections, they invented a bean election method.

The method is that the villagers nominate several candidates first, and then let these candidates stand with their backs to the villagers, with a table behind them and a large bowl on the table.The staff will distribute a bean to every villager who participates in the election, and whichever candidate the villagers support, they will put a bean in the bowl behind him.Finally, count the beans in the bowl, whoever has more beans in the bowl will be elected.

When Mara Nian announced this election method, the villagers liked it very much, and everyone voted enthusiastically, and finally elected the village chief, deputy village chief and other members of the village administrative committee.

Then, following the same method, members of the Shangshui Village Women's Federation were selected as the site.

The reason why Gao Jiu attaches so much importance to improving the status of women is because in the Golden Triangle area, because most men smoke opium, are weak and lazy, the real labor force is those women.

Women not only take care of the elderly and children, serve men, and do housework, but also raise livestock, work in the fields, and pick poppies for processing.They are overworked and take on most of the responsibilities of the family, but they have no social status.Gao Jiu wants to reverse this unhealthy social atmosphere and is determined to improve women's social status.

The election in Shangshui Village was a pilot project. Representatives from 52 villages and towns in the Wenshan area were sent to observe. After returning, they followed the method of Shangshui Village and successfully held a democratic election.

The organizational structure of the Wenshan District Administrative Committee was quickly perfected.

Gao Jiu controlled the Wenshan area, and was not in a hurry to enter other areas of the Golden Triangle. With Gao Jiu's military strength, it would be very easy to eliminate any warlord forces in the Golden Triangle.But how to manage the Golden Triangle area needs to be explored.

Gao Jiu planned to stay in the Wenshan area for three months to thoroughly explore a way to manage the Golden Triangle.

The most troublesome thing in the Golden Triangle area is the drug problem, and it is also the biggest problem Gao Jiu faces.
