Tiger Police

Chapter 140 The Status Quo in the Mountains

Military barracks, ammunition depots, oil depots, substations, factories, mines, roads, railways, bridges, culverts... All facilities that can be dismantled will be demolished, and those that cannot be dismantled will be blown up. The cement poles will be blown off at a position one meter above the ground. .

Chen Ying remembers very clearly that after the northern neighbors withdrew their troops, as a guard, he followed the inspection team to Liangshan and saw that there were all ruins there.

According to Annan's internal statistics: In that war, a total of four large cities, more than 300 counties and towns, and more than 60 buildings were destroyed. 42 square meters of buildings were razed to the ground, and 41 forest farms and [-] farms were destroyed.In addition, as many as hundreds of thousands of pigs and cattle were lost.

The entire primary industry in Annan completely collapsed, and economic development fell back for at least 20 years.

If it weren't for being too poor to stay in the country, no one would follow Wu Qingcheng here.

"Poor" and "money" are closely related.It's not that Chen Ying looks down on the Siamese, but he also has his own sources of information.He has always believed that there is a problem with the social system of the Siamese: the ruling party's proposal, the opposition party will definitely tear it down.If it is helpful to people's livelihood, that's fine, but it is far away in this mountainous area on the northern border of Siam. Even if the road is built, it will not help the overall income of Siam, let alone the construction of water conservancy and networking. power ups.

These are all worthless things to spend money on.

Hearing Chen Ying's question, Wu Yanhui smiled and turned sideways, pointing to Hu Pingtao who was sitting next to him: "About this matter, let A Ming talk about it!"

This was discussed before.

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "This is part of the joint collaboration between the Siamese and their northern neighbors. They proposed a plan for "alternative cultivation", as long as we no longer grow poppies."

Chen Ying stared at him and asked suspiciously, "Alternative planting?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "It is to replace poppies with other crops. At present, the commercial crops proposed by the other party include corn, rice, tea, coffee and some tropical fruits. They promise to contract production and sales, whether it is a group contract or an individual contract."

"Growing corn? How is this possible?" A battalion commander frowned: "The income of poppies in one acre of land is much higher than that of corn in one acre of land. Contracting production and marketing is simply putting money into the water." Throw it, it's impossible!"

The colleague next to him also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, let's talk about tea and coffee! No one has grown them before. Even if the seedlings are brought from outside, the farmers in the mountains don't know how to grow them. I used to grow them in Annan I have grown land in my hometown, so I dare not grow such unfamiliar things. On the one hand, it is difficult to guarantee the yield, and on the other hand, even if the quality is not good, no one wants it.”

Hu Pingtao smiled lightly: "They promised to provide technical support. At that time, someone will come over and teach the mountain people here the cultivation techniques."

Hearing this, the battalion commander who raised the question before couldn't help but gasped: "How is this possible? He helped us connect water and electricity, and even sent someone to guide... How is this different from the emperor's recruitment in "Water Margin"? The conditions are too generous. gone."

People in Annan also like to watch "Water Margin".

The others also nodded.

"Yeah, according to this method, they can't make any money at all, and they have to pay back."

"I don't think this is possible. Who wants to do something that is not beneficial? Shovel out poppies and plant corn, what will we eat in the future?"

"It must be a conspiracy between the Siamese and that country to the north."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Wu Yanhui quickly stood up and said seriously: "Everyone, I know that this matter sounds unreliable to you, but I still want to say: all of this is true."

Hu Pingtao showed no fear, and continued: "Since you mentioned the value difference between poppies and corn, let me ask: Everyone, do you know the drug connection between the United States and Moses?"

Although most of the officers of the "Northern Security Force" were peasants, some were quite knowledgeable.A battalion commander immediately replied: "It's very simple, the relationship between production and sales."

Hu Pingtao smiled and nodded: "Drug control is a big problem in the United States. They spend a lot of money every year on the ban on drugs from Moses. This kind of work is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and the results are slow, but it must Keep going. Let me give you the simplest example: spending [-] million dollars and investing a lot of manpower and material resources, it is impossible to stop Moses' drugs from flowing into the US market from the source. But if the situation permits, spend this [-] million dollars on poppy cultivation The peasants of Moses, let them grow corn, tea, coffee... In short, they can grow anything, but they cannot grow poppies."

The battalion commander who spoke asked, "Is it like this every year?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "This is a long-term behavior."

"That will definitely work!" The other party showed a clear expression on his face: "According to this calculation, the total value of various resources invested in drug control has already exceeded [-] million, and it is still uncertain whether it will be effective. This kind of alternative planting is different. Now, farmers need money, give them enough benefits, growing poppies and growing corn are the same to them.”

Hu Pingtao strikes while the iron is hot: "This method will not work in Moses, because the local drug trafficking group has already formed a large scale and even manipulated the state affairs. But here, as long as we are willing, we can win enough benefits during the negotiation."

He said these words from the standpoint of Annan people.After all, Hu Pingtao's current identity is "Chen Junming".

Chen Ying has not spoken.

As a scheming man, he already understood that on the surface it was drinking, but in fact it was Wu Yanhui and Chen Junming singing and acting together.

If the time went back a few years, Chen Ying would not let them talk so much at all, and directly asked the guards to come in to arrest them, tie them up and send them to Wu Qingcheng's headquarters.

However, as people get older, they have more ideas.

More importantly, I have stayed here for too long, life is inconvenient and not easy, and I feel homesick.

Looking at the young face of "Chen Junming", Chen Ying asked with a vague feeling: "Amin, what do you think we can get if this thing really happens?"

He was cunning, and instead of directly asking "what can I get", he pulled everyone in the room.

Facing the gazes looking at him one after another, Hu Pingtao didn't care, he smiled calmly: "These people in the mountains can actually be used. Since they are against planting poppies, let them grow other things. Siam The Luo people and the people from neighboring countries in the north are responsible for receiving the goods, and at least half of the money will be handed over... Hehe, of course, it is not unbelievable to ask for more, and the specific amount is up to you, the leader."

Hu Pingtao thinks that there is great harmony in the world and that everyone is fair.

People like Chen Ying are already in control of power, and they are out-and-out warlords.It would be nice to be able to get them to switch crops as an alternative to growing.If you want to impose "the rights and interests of the working people", you will be doing your best. Not only will you not be able to complete the task, but you will also involve yourself in it.

Anyway, this is not my country, and they are not my compatriots.

Chen Ying's eyes lit up: "Can these people in the mountains stay still?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and nodded: "Anyway, that's what they mean. As long as the "alternative planting" project can be recognized and implemented, all issues can be discussed."

He didn't specifically say who "they" were referring to, but none of the people here are fools, and this kind of thing is obvious.

For more than a year in the mountains, Hu Pingtao spent most of his time observing secretly, and finally chose Wu Yanhui as the breakthrough point.

His status is high enough, and under Wu Qingcheng, he can be ranked in the top ten.

When leaving Lada for the mountains, someone from China secretly contacted Hu Pingtao and handed him a document.In addition to the new codes and emergency contact methods, it also includes detailed information on a total of 24 important people under Wu Qingcheng.

According to the intelligence team's analysis, Wu Yanhui is the easiest person to contact and the easiest person to instigate rebellion.

There are many ways to fight drugs.To some extent, this is the same as the police catching thieves.

If there were no thieves in this world, there would naturally be no profession of police.

If there were no poppies in this world, there would be no heroin.

The Wuqingcheng Group produces more than ten tons of heroin every year, and it can even reach fifteen tons in a good year.The area he occupies happens to be on the border of many countries, and the drug trade is nothing more than four directions.

The customers in the south are mainly Siam and Jianpuzhai.These two countries also have the problem of armed separatism. Even if there are occasional transactions, the amount of drugs needed is not much, which adds up to less than two tons per year.

Most of the customers in the east are from overseas, such as Sun Country.However, there are not many goods sold in this direction.Transportation is the biggest problem, not to mention that the Wuqingcheng Group has been wanted by the Annan government from the very beginning, and the two sides are in dire straits. 1
The customers in the west are very mixed and chaotic.For example, the Khalifa country that has been wiped out has implemented terrorism in an all-round way, claiming that all the people are soldiers.In order to keep the army fighting, the country sent people to buy drugs from Wu Qingcheng many times, and once became the largest annual buyer.

With Harry France in ashes, the trade from the west was also interrupted.

The powerful countries in the north have been vigorously prohibiting drugs, but the largest drug buyers over the years have also come from that direction. The saying "people die for money" is not in vain. For money, drug dealers are like moths to a flame, frantically going back and forth between luck and death.

If people in this mountain area no longer grow poppies, the pressure from this direction will be greatly reduced.No matter whether the Wuqingcheng Group is legal or not, as long as he is willing to accept the alternative planting plan, even if he buys local agricultural products at a price [-]% higher than the market price, in the eyes of the big northern country, it is very cost-effective and can bring benefits to all parties.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, it would be hard for Hu Pingtao to imagine that a modern person could live in such an environment without water and electricity for a long time.

There is no power plant in the mountains, people here do not use mobile phones, and the communication between the various units is by radio. In addition, there are dozens of short-distance telephone systems purchased from outside the mountain, and information is transmitted through old-fashioned handsets.

The water source comes from the river below the mountain. There is no better way to get water than carrying it on the shoulder.

In addition to diesel power generation, Shanli has also purchased several sets of solar power generation systems.The power is not large, but the frequency of use is high.The electricity produced can only maintain the daily consumption of the headquarters, which is the core area where Wu Qingcheng lives.

He just celebrated his 63rd birthday last month.

When people get old, they have more ideas.

When first contacting Wu Yanhui, Hu Pingtao was very careful, for fear of arousing suspicion, he only dared to talk about those things in the army.

Perhaps it was because he was not wary of young people, or because Hu Pingtao's military rank was too low, plus Li Wendong's recommendation... In short, Wu Yanhui did not have any doubts about him.He drank a few more glasses that day, so he poured bitter water on Hu Pingtao.

Back then, when he defected with Wu Qingcheng and came here all the way, he wanted to live a better life and return to his hometown one day.

Now it seems that returning home is impossible.

The only thing to count on is the previous wish.

But is life right now?

The mountain is located in the tropics, even in the coldest season of the year, the temperature is still as high as 28 degrees Celsius.This temperature can only be maintained for four months, and then it becomes hotter day by day, and the highest temperature throughout the year can reach more than [-] degrees Celsius.

Wu Qingcheng bought a cold drink machine to make ice cream.That thing consumes a lot of power, and it is impossible to promote it in the mountains.Although Wu Qingcheng often invited middle and senior military officers to his place for gatherings and shared ice cream with everyone, many people, including Wu Yanhui, did not buy it.

The so-called invitation is just twice a month.

Why can you enjoy the convenience brought by this machine alone?
Yes, there is no power plant in the mountains, and diesel must be purchased from outside the mountains.Did we follow you to abandon the country and come here just to make you pamper yourself?

Wu Yanhui was also very dissatisfied with the attack on nearby towns and the kidnapping of women.He is a very orthodox soldier. It would be fine if Wu Qingcheng did things fairly and justly, but every time he captured women from outside, he had to give priority to selection, and then distribute the remaining women.

Wu Qingcheng had 22 wives.

If you add those who were killed before, the total exceeds 50 people.

People age quickly in a hot environment.Older women are always inferior to younger women, and Wu Qingcheng is not willing to distribute the women he abandoned.In his words: Doing that is no different from wearing a cuckold.

Since you don't like them and you don't want to let them go, the best way to deal with them is to kill them.

Wu Yanhui shuddered at this.

You can do this to the women closest to you, let alone us outsiders?
If I am old and can no longer fight, will Wu Qingcheng throw me into the "Valley of Corpses" like he treats old women?
The use of funds and related accounts after drug trafficking in the mountains every year is also one of the unresolved contradictions and disputes.

Wu Qingcheng has appointed several sales teams outside the mountain.He built a printing factory in the mountains, mainly for printing money.

"Northern Security Force" military ticket, which is a special currency in the mountains.
