Chapter 127 Goal
He looks a lot different now than he did a few weeks ago.

The skin tone is visibly darker, even darker than bronze.Only people who live in tropical or subtropical regions all year round have this kind of skin that is difficult to wash off like dirty cloth.

Living in the tropics for a long time, in order to avoid excessive temperature damage to internal organs and maintain normal functions, the skin system will undergo adaptive changes, producing a large amount of melanin to help the body dissipate heat, and reduce the damage of the sub-shape to the human body.Regardless of Asian or fair skin, skin darkening will occur after long-term sun exposure.If you live in the equatorial region of Africa, get married and have children for more than three generations, your skin will undergo genetic changes and become darker and darker.

Just like myopia, it will be inherited.

Hu Pingtao's skin color was not dark before, but it was far from the level of the local people who lived in Lada all the year round.Yunnan Province is located on a plateau, and the police training base has set up a special ultraviolet irradiation room.During the special training period, Hu Pingtao had to stay there naked for more than half an hour every day. This lasted for a week, and his whole body became dark.In the words of the instructor jokingly: "If you continue to post it, you can apply for the citizenship of Equatorial Guinea."

This thing is not a high-tech thing, to a large extent, it is to satisfy the kind of people who have a special preference for sunbathing.There is a simple home version, and a special version for indescribable island country action movies.

It is not enough for the skin to become darker, the skin must be roughened to match the basic appearance of the local residents of Lada.

Regardless of physical fitness or theoretical training, Hu Pingtao can only wear army green boxer shorts and a pair of flip-flops on his feet.During the special training period, all activities are carried out indoors, and the heating is turned on to ensure that the room temperature is kept at about [-] degrees.

It is strictly forbidden to use body soap in the bath, not even soap and soap.Showers can only use normal temperature tap water to wash away the residual and dried sweat on the body.

Myanmar, Annan, Siam, Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines... Most civilians in all tropical countries in Southeast Asia follow this way of bathing and cleaning.

Take the local people in Lada as an example, soap and soap are mainly used for washing clothes, and body soap is a luxury, which is rarely provided by ordinary hotels and hotels (unless a separate request is made).They are used to showering in this way. As for whether the cleanliness of the body is up to standard, it doesn't really matter.

After a long time, the unwashed dirt adheres to the body surface and mixes with the constantly secreted oil and sweat to form a thin layer of covering, which makes the skin rough and feels like sliding over the surface of rough pottery .

The "Silver Chip" casino is a six-story building with a large area and separate staff quarters.The living environment here is average, four people share a room, bunk beds.The humid and hot environment is uncomfortable. Although there is a fan, it can't cool down. The only comfort is the shower.

Even if you wake up in the morning, you have to take a shower.Hu Pingtao, with his slippers on and his upper body bare, staggered to the food stall on the first floor, sat down on a fairly clean plastic stool, and ordered a bowl of rice noodles with fish soup.

This is the national dish of Myanmar, and it is also a must-eat breakfast for locals. Its status in the food industry is equivalent to rice noodles in Yunnan Province.

There are many fish in Myanmar, and the fish soup rice noodles are made of fresh catfish soup, added with curry, and topped with rice noodles boiled in hot water.The side dishes include pre-fried minced meat, coriander, bean sprouts, fried bean curd and fried dough sticks, sprinkled with chili powder, and seasoned with lime juice or lemon juice.

There is no vinegar here, and most of the sour seasonings use lemon.When making rice noodles, you can also ask the store to add boiled eggs, which is a very stingy way: peel the boiled eggs, cut them into four to six pieces with thin wires, and put them gently on the rice noodles.

An egg is 220 kyats, and one yuan is equivalent to [-] kyats.

After eating this bowl of breakfast worth [-] kyats, Hu Pingtao greeted the stall owner in proficient local dialect, then turned and walked into the dormitory area, and changed into work clothes.

The content of the special training includes a crash course in the Myanmar language.Hu Pingtao showed surprisingly strong learning ability, mastered the basic Burmese language in just two weeks, and had no problems in daily communication.

The casino is open 24 hours a day, and the croupiers on duty are divided into two shifts.Depending on the number of customers, the supervisor will arrange for the croupiers to take a proper rest, which is equivalent to three shifts, and sometimes even four shifts.

On the surface, the laws of Myanmar prohibit gambling, but in fact underground casinos are rampant.Since Lada was designated as an economic development zone, the number of large and small casinos here has tripled in just half a year.

Most of them are small family-oriented casinos. The famous "Northern Street" is about two kilometers long. In addition to selling handicrafts and various local specialties, there are mahjong parlors, video game halls, and various other activities on both sides of the street. Casino.Here you can find any kind of gambling in the world: baccarat, Zhajinhua, blackjack, Texas hold'em, Russian roulette...

Gamblers are mostly foreigners, especially those from powerful neighboring countries.

Last year, Myanmar dispatched the military and police to carry out a comprehensive clean-up of the underground casinos in Lata.Home-style casinos have basically been eliminated, and all kinds of gambling houses, large and small, on the "Northern Street" have also closed their doors for self-inspection.On the surface, this is to jointly create a clean and clean business environment at the request of powerful neighbors.In fact, this is a private deal between the Burmese military and the major casino licensees.

Eliminate small casinos, leaving only large casinos.In this way, the business and profits are concentrated, and the military occupies a certain proportion of it, which also gives the casino a cloak of legitimacy.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a middle-aged man wearing a sarong walked into the casino and sat down at table 21.

The sarong is a traditional garment in Myanmar, similar to the tube skirt worn by the Dai people in China.Both men and women are allowed, the men's style is called "longji", and the women's style is called "temin".

Hu Pingtao, who was dealing cards at table 21, smiled and greeted each other in Burmese: "Good morning, Mr. Ruan."

His name is Ruan Chengdong, from Annan, and he is also the target of Hu Pingtao's mission.

Annan and Cambodia have always had constant disputes, and a full-scale war broke out in the last century.The Annan people have great ambitions, especially after Le Duan came to power, they expanded in all directions by force.The main chosen targets at the time were Cambodia, and its powerful neighbor to the north.Cambodia is small and weak, and has been defeated one after another. If it hadn't been for a powerful neighboring country that suddenly sent troops and fought a beautiful self-defense counterattack, it might have been annexed by Annan long ago.

In recent years, the international situation has been stable. Annan did not send troops on a large scale. It seems that he is majoring in internal skills and shifting his energy to economic construction.In fact, the small-scale armed conflicts between Annan and Cambodia continued, but they were all limited to the range acceptable to both sides, and few outsiders knew about them.

Ruan Chengdong was previously the captain commander of the field forces in the western Annan area.He retired after being wounded in battle, and because he was dissatisfied with the resettlement policy at that time, he responded to the call of his old superior and defected to Myanmar.

That was a regiment-level commander of the Annan Army named Wu Qingcheng.In the last century, Annan fought on the border with its northern neighbors. Wu Qingcheng made a mistake in his command. The troops he led at that time suffered a devastating blow, and an infantry regiment was almost killed.In order to avoid accountability in a military court, he led the remnant army to break through and lay a territory at the border between Siam and Myanmar.

Wu Qingcheng is very good at management. He obtained a large amount of arms from the former Annan army by various means, forcibly gathered the nearby mountain people, and forcibly created an "independent area" with a population of about [-], and called himself a general.

The combat effectiveness of the Burmese army in the last century was extremely weak, and it was no match for these Annan professional soldiers.Coupled with the high mountains and dense forests in this area, as long as a few militants guard the dangerous terrain, even if the number of personnel is superior, it will be difficult to break into it.The Burmese military cleared the payment many times, but the result was heavy casualties.The rulers at the time simply left it alone and only blocked it from the periphery.In this way, Wu Qingcheng was given time to breathe and develop.

There is no business that makes money faster than growing poppies.

Tropical areas can achieve three crops a year, and food supply is not a problem.Wu Qingcheng has designated a large area of ​​land in the area under his jurisdiction, which is specially used for growing opium poppies.Every year when the harvest season comes, the fruit is picked, opium is sun-dried, made into heroin, and passed through the mountains in the north and east, trafficked and sold for profit.

Among them, the route with the shortest trafficking distance and the greatest profit is to pass through the border checkpoints of neighboring countries in the north and flow into the market.

The Ministry of Public Security has long wanted to get rid of this cancer. The problem is that the Wuqingcheng Group is located outside the country, which is a blank area for our law enforcement.As for the army raid, it is even more impossible.That involves multinational diplomacy, and a little carelessness will trigger more negative public opinion.

Siamese also have a deep aversion to drugs.They are very willing to cooperate and destroy the Wuqingcheng Group together.With the support from China, the Siamese spent more than ten years infiltrating the Wuqingcheng Group and mastered a lot of information.

Myanmar is also unhappy with the armed group that has long occupied the border.Because the country's overall economic level is extremely low, Myanmar has been applying for financial assistance from the World Bank.Previous rulers spent a lot of effort to communicate with Western countries, and finally got support and approval of the project, but there is an important problem-Myanmar must eradicate the Wuqingcheng drug trafficking group occupying the north. Only in this way can we get more aid money .

The Chinese side also proposed cooperation between the two countries to reduce the area of ​​opium poppy cultivation in Myanmar by replacing planting.Increase propaganda efforts to induce residents in Wuqingcheng area to transfer to the area actually controlled by the Myanmar government to weaken it.

The task Hu Pingtao accepted was an important part of the entire grand plan.

Ruan Chengdong is Wu Qingcheng's confidant.

First approach him, and then approach Wu Qingcheng.

According to the information provided by the Siamese, although the Wu Qingcheng Group has an advantage in terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a fatal weakness in the group——Wu Qingcheng has no fertility, so he cannot appoint and train blood-related heirs.

He injured his genitals in the battles in his early years. Although he was healed and his health was fine, he was unable to bear children.

In this independent kingdom, the allure of power is enough to drive people crazy.

The battalion commanders and company commanders who followed Wu Qingcheng to conquer the world are now division commanders and brigade commanders.Here, military-civilian integration.Relying on the money from drug trafficking, he bought a large amount of arms from the outside world for arming.Of course, there are no such weapons as 150mm heavy artillery, but the Wuqingcheng Group is equipped with a large number of light weapons and even a mortar battery.

As long as Wu Qingcheng is killed, his power kingdom will be torn apart.The people under him have their own thoughts, and they can't be monolithic at all.The Siamese and the Burmese made their own bids and made certain promises, and this trouble could be solved forever.

The border between Siam and Myanmar has always been blurred, which is caused by historical reasons.The reason why the Siamese are particularly enthusiastic about solving the problem of the Wuqingcheng Group is that they want to take advantage of the trend to occupy the area and permanently incorporate it into the national border.If you take the initiative in the matter of assassinating Wu Qingcheng, you will have a heavyweight bargaining chip in the negotiations with Myanmar after the 1st day.

In order to achieve the goal, Siam successively dispatched several capable special forces to sneak into the area and conduct infiltration operations.

It is a pity that the intelligence leaked and the battle failed. Hundreds of people were killed in battle several times before and after, and the military intelligence chief was also replaced because of this.

In view of the extremely low combat effectiveness of Siam and Myanmar, and the intelligence loopholes in the military and police that are no different from sieves, China decided to carry out the plan on its own, while keeping Siam and Myanmar secret, and acting alone.

Ruan Chengdong is Wu Qingcheng's confidant, and also the group's diplomat and external sales director.He wandered around Myanmar, Siam, Annan and other places all the year round. In addition to selling drugs, he was also responsible for purchasing daily necessities and arms.

Ruan Chengdong likes to play blackjack. After careful screening by the Chinese side, he made it the first target. The whole plan gradually started from the "silver chip" casino in Lada.

The croupier is a very good point of intervention.

The original task executor was a police superintendent from Donghu Province.He stayed in Lada for half a year, and finally got the opportunity to work in the Silver Chip Casino.However, the local law and order in Lada was chaotic. Three weeks ago, a few guests had an argument in the casino, which soon turned into a large-scale fight between two local underworld forces.He was involved and died instantly.

Under normal circumstances, such important tasks have second, third, or even higher-order substitutes.Unfortunately, the Donghu provincial police, who were leading the plan, dispatched three substitute personnel overnight, but they encountered an earthquake, and all three suffered injuries of varying degrees, making them unable to attend work.

After receiving the news from East Lake, Yunnan Province immediately launched an emergency plan and selected Hu Pingtao as a substitute.In addition to language and skill reasons, there is another important factor, that is, he is "clean" enough.

There is a big difference between veterans and young people.Just like the ancient generals, Guan Zhang, Zhao Mahuang, he was very good at fighting, and he looked like a warrior who came down to earth, and he could scare the enemy away only by his reputation.

Ordinary soldiers are different. They are unfamiliar and have never seen it before. If you clamor and claim that the force value is 99, only ghosts will believe you.
