Ye Qing nodded and turned to look at Wu An. In this rainy weather, even hunters who have been walking in the jungle all year round are in danger of getting lost.
Wu An and Tang Niu squinted their eyes and observed for a long time before leading everyone onto an extremely secret path.
The group followed silently.
After a full hour, everyone's eyes suddenly became clear.
After walking out of the jungle, there were patches of bare mountains, and the mountain roads along the mountains had turned into swamps.
Regardless of whether they are Eagle Country people or locals, as long as they open mines, they only plunder and do not build.
Therefore, after the mining was completed, all that was left in the area was ruins, and now water has begun to accumulate at the bottom of these pits...
Everyone stared blankly at the scene as tragic as a comet hitting the earth, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in their hearts.
Wu'an didn't care. They had long been accustomed to only mining without construction, but he didn't like this place either: "In the mythology of the Benglong tribe, Meidang is a sinful place burned by heavenly fire. No grass grows, nothing grows, and humans It’s simply impossible to survive here.”
The corner of Ye Qing's mouth trembled, but he didn't dare to say anything, because the soil here is red because it contains nickel. Because it contains nickel, the vegetation here is not lush, and it has nothing to do with sin. The place is what it is because of disorderly, reckless mining: "How big is the Maydown Nickel Mine!"
Wu An gloated: "No one knows how big it is, but it is roughly five or six hills. As long as the soil is red, it falls within the scope of the Meidang Nickel Mine."
Ye Qing suddenly had a headache. There were five or six hills with a radius of about thirty kilometers. Because the mining was not scientifically designed, the mining was done in places that were easy to dig and easy to drive out.
After problems of this kind arise in this place, dig the hole again in another place. Therefore, the Meidang Nickel Mine is full of pits.
Tang Niu held the grass root in his mouth and said nonchalantly: "This is no different from the site where we dig out jadeite rough. You'll get used to it after seeing it too much.
However, it is not easy to continue mining here. All the pits that have been abandoned are because cars cannot transport them. If you want to open a mine here, the first priority is to build roads. "
Ye Qing frowned: "Is the Dagong Mountain Nickel Mine like this too?"
"You ask me, I ask who is going." Tang Niu pointed to his nose: "Do you think it is possible for me to come back alive after I go to Dagon Mountain?"
Ye Qing said honestly: "I think they will cut you into pieces."
Wu An gave him a funny look: "However, I think Dagong Mountain was mined relatively early, so you shouldn't have a chance. Moreover, for you, this place is safer. Mogok is in the northeast, and Benglong is stationed there. The third brigade of the army, to the northwest is Ma Bin, which is the territory of the Kachin Army, and to the south is Tanlang's territory.
Our three armies will protect you, so you don’t have to worry about mutiny or other accidents during the mining process. Besides, when you arm the Dao Village, aren't you just asking them to show you the mines? "
He pointed to the hilltop in the distance that seemed to have been burned by fire: "If you find it ugly, just buy a few bulldozers and fill in these holes."
Ye Qing rolled his eyes and didn't bother to argue with him. This guy looked loyal and honest, but he didn't expect that he was not a good person either.
How to fill a large hole with a radius of dozens of acres and a depth of hundreds of meters... Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this!
“Isn’t there anyone here looking at the mine?”
"Before the rainy season comes, all the machinery and equipment will be driven away. At most, there will be a few tin houses left. What can you steal?" Wu An pointed to the swamp-like mountain road at the foot of the mountain: "Drive in and walk out. You may not encounter any problems." From mudslides to landslides, even your life is at stake here.”
"So, I guess there is a reason why the nest is hidden here." Tang Niu sighed: "From the beginning of the rainy season in April to October, this place becomes a no man's land.
Only the horse caravans can transport some supplies along the jungle ridge. By hiding contraband here, you don't have to worry about being hunted down by government troops and local troops.
Once the nickel ore is mined, the contraband will follow the transport vehicle, be put on the ship and then travel across the ocean..."
The corner of Ye Qing's mouth trembled. These local snakes knew the truth that he had worked so hard to find out.
Tang Niu seemed to have guessed what Ye Qing was thinking: "I don't know, it was Old Sanji who said it. Moreover, the Kachin people are not allowed to plant, refine, or smoke prohibited substances within their own jurisdiction. As for the Meidang Nickel Mine, with What do we have to do with each other!?"
"Old Sangji..." Ye Qing looked at him hesitantly...
"What we can tell you, we have already told you." Tang Niu sighed: "This has violated the agreement between our national coalition forces."
Ye Qing suddenly understood: "Do you have a share of the supplies Mu Yuanfang shipped from Rayleigh?"
"Otherwise, how will the Mu family make money!"
Song Youqing and Du Yu were shocked when they heard this. Only then did they understand how dangerous what Ye Qing was doing in northern Myanmar was.
It seemed that they only offended the Mu family, Zhu Yongbang and his son, but the chain reaction involved the Kachin Independence Army and the Collapse Dragon Army.
It would be difficult for anyone who has offended so many ethnic armed forces in northern Myanmar to survive.
Ye Qing smiled: "I will inform An Mengxi to increase the supply of materials to the Kachin Independence Army and the Benglong Army. Greedy Wolf will also be lenient."
Wu An glanced at Tang Niu, and both of them showed relieved smiles at the same time.
When Ye Qing decided to clean up the speculation, the Kachin Independence Army and the Benglong Army faced the problem of sides.
Should we continue to obtain supplies from interest groups, or completely fall to the Red Star Group?
But no matter which side you lean towards, there are great dangers.
They are really pests, but two evils are in harmony. Not only can Ye Qing provide arms, but he is also the party that demands the least from the Kachin Independence Army and the Collapse Dragon Army.
Moreover, it can also help the Kachin Independence Army and the Benglong Army to open up another source of income.
It’s not that they look down on this kind of mineral with huge reserves, it’s just that non-ferrous metal mines cannot be traded for gold and gambling stones. Like gemstones, the military government restricts them, so I smuggle them...
There is no way to smuggle this kind of non-ferrous metal ore, which is exchanged for money.
Ye Qing smiled and said: "I feel that our cooperation has reached a new level. Is there anything else I don't know that you can tell me?"
"It is up to Old Sangji to judge how far we have cooperated with you." Wu An said leisurely: "However, Old Sangji said that it is enough to stop after getting these stones. If you continue to pursue it, you will definitely regret it. .”
Ye Qing said quietly: "There should be no melons from the Ye family here."
Wu An nodded and did not continue. Old Sangji only allowed himself to give Ye Qing a heads up, but did not allow himself to stop his next move.
