Bai Hu was anxious after hearing this, but did not dare to interrupt Ye Qing.
The guru is a teacher of Buddhism and the most authoritative, wisest and most direct supreme teacher in the monastery.
Because of his noble compassion and unparalleled wisdom, the mental Dharma he imparted to Buddhist disciples was also the most supreme, most complete, and highest level of education. Therefore, he was called a guru.
The great master is the leader of Buddhist masters.
Equivalent to the Chief of Staff of the General Staff.
If a staff officer is not a leader, he will not fart loudly.
The great master Luozhu is equivalent to the chief of staff of the Shan State Border Guard Army.
Most importantly, he is the uncle of Shan State general Ngo Swee.
Because of this, he accepted the three Cunning Tiger brothers as his disciples. The entire family trusted the three brothers and sisters as if they were their own family members.
Wu Rui regarded Cunning Hu as a confidant and handed over the port city of Muse to him for guarding.
But what Ye Qing meant was that my grandfather is my grandfather and I am me.
Now I am meeting you in my capacity. Although I am a junior, my status is the same as yours.
Grand Master Luozhu smiled and nodded: "The tiger in the gate will swallow the bullfight in anger."
Ye Qing quickly smiled and said: "Although this junior is from the Ye family, he is not in the military and political affairs. He is a white man. He came to northern Myanmar just to seek wealth."
Grand Master Luozhu saw him looking up at him with firm and clear eyes, and believed his words: "Old monk, on behalf of Wu Rui, thank you for your gift to the Cunning Tiger Department."
He turned and glanced at Bai Hu: "Wu Rui really wants to purchase a batch of Chinese weapons, but you should also know that Myanmar's military system is different from China's. Military expenses are not allocated by the state, but earned by oneself." .”
Ye Qing knew in his heart that Wu Rui was different from old Sangji.
Old Sangji can't get first-hand goods except doing business with himself.
Therefore, the firearms he spent a huge sum of money to purchase were all old junk that had been eliminated by the government forces. Therefore, he must reach cooperation with himself no matter what.
But Wu Rui didn't have this need.
He is a general of Burma, and the troops under his command are also part of the border defense force of Burma, although they cannot purchase arms independently. However, every year the military government would give him a certain share.
In other words, the military government is a huge arms dealer, purchasing weapons from the international arms market and then selling them to various private armies, making huge profits from it.
Therefore, Wu Rui is not short of weapons but money.
The entire Shan State was under the jurisdiction of General Wu Rui.
But the entire Shan State is either high in mountains or hilly and mountainous.
In these mountainous areas, there are a large number of rare teak, rosewood, red rosewood, and various metal mineral deposits. However, these areas are almost all the territories of various ethnic groups in northern Myanmar.
Although Wu Rui is a Shan State general, he does not get a penny of benefits from various ethnic groups.
To impose taxes is to go to war;
But Shan State is different from Kachin State. Kachin State has raw stone mines and sells them for money after digging them out.
Therefore, what the Kachin generals like most is fighting and just robbery.
Every time a war starts, it's a gluttonous feast.
But Shan State does not have this condition. Although there are mineral deposits in the territories of various ethnic groups, refining these mineral deposits requires technology, equipment, electricity, oil...
But these basic conditions are not available to all ethnic groups.
Take Lao Cai Market as an example. There is only one hydropower station with an installed capacity of 6,000 kilowatts, which can barely supply Lao Cai Market with electricity, not to mention nearby villages and towns.
For villages built in deep mountains and old forests, providing electricity is an impossible task.
The only income is from logging.
Teak, rosewood, rosewood, etc., these rare trees are valuable in China.
But it is a pity that armed forces of various ethnic groups directly blew up the road in order to prevent government troops from attacking from the road.
The only way to enter the territories of each ethnic group is through the Salween River.
Therefore, although Wu Rui was a Shan State general with an area of 150,000 square kilometers, he did not benefit from it but suffered from it.
The cities in his hands are heavily stationed with troops to fight against the armed forces of various ethnic groups, which consumes huge military expenditures every year.
The real source of wealth is Muse, although the annual tariffs collected are astronomical. But 70% will be handed over to the military government.
The remaining 30%, apart from the family income share, is allocated to the army, less than 10%.
And if this 10% of the military expenditure is distributed to the armies stationed in 24 cities, it is already a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, the border guards in Shan State use all means to raise military expenses.
The three Cunning Tiger brothers opened a casino and bathing center in Muse, making huge profits from pornographic gambling.
Border guards who do not have this condition directly transform themselves into organized and disciplined bandits, setting up checkpoints along the way to collect toll taxes.
Those who are more particular only seek wealth rather than life. Those who are careless will kill people and leave their bodies in the wilderness.
It can be said that in order to make money, everyone from the military government to a small soldier is shameless and uses any means.
Ye Qing looked at Grand Master Luo Zhu with a bright red face and a friendly smile, and secretly exclaimed that the old monk was awesome.
It's not impossible to buy arms from you, but we don't have the money.
Otherwise, you should continue to carry forward the spirit of internationalism and provide some assistance.
"There is a popular saying in China that landlords don't even have enough food to spare!" Ye Qing laughed and said, "Besides, I help cunning tigers and greedy wolves to protect my own interests.
I bought a large piece of land outside the Jiegao Trade Zone and planned to build a villa integrating folk customs, tourism, food, and stone gambling. Traveling to Muse was the last stop, thus forming a perfect closed business loop.
My other company, however, focuses on logistics, transporting some Shan State local products from Lashio and along the way, such as gambling stones from Kachin State, rare wood, rice, sugar, mountain products, etc. "
Grand Master Luozhu was shocked. There are logistics companies in Shan State, and there are more than one.
But the credibility of these logistics companies has big problems.
Especially when transporting some valuable gambling stones, gems, and rare woods, loss is a normal phenomenon. It would be abnormal if it is not lost, and the logistics company will not compensate.
Therefore, some special commodities appeared, and the cargo owners hired troops to escort them.
The three Cunning Tiger siblings often do this kind of thing.
The Tiger Battalion was dispatched to escort the goods from Lashio to Muse, charging a large fee.
Now, Ye Qing wanted to do this kind of business openly.
No wonder this guy is willing to invest huge sums of money to help Cunning Tiger improve weapons and equipment.
Master Luozhu said slowly: "I know that several logistics companies have military backgrounds, and it is not easy to steal business from them."
Ye Qing smiled: "From Lashio to Muse, the Tiger Camp is in charge, but I am in charge of reaching Gaoruili in Muse. We encourage fair competition, but we are not afraid of unfair competition.
If some despicable means are used, then the arms I sponsor for the Tiger Camp will not be vegetarian. If it's the worst case, let's just fight. Anyway, the sound of artillery and gunshots in northern Myanmar are deafening all day long. "
When Grand Master Luo Zhu heard this, his face twitched.
This boy took into account the cunningness of the cunning tiger, the greed of the greedy wolf, and the viciousness of the white fox.
In a land of tigers and wolves like northern Myanmar, the upper-level people still rely on worldliness, but the lower-level people rely on strength.
The Tiger Battalion continued to expand, and all weapons and equipment came from Ye Qing's sponsorship.
Unless planes, tanks, and artillery are deployed, no army can be a match for Cunning Tiger.
