Hong Tao stared at Ye Qing. He had many years of life experience and knew how to observe a person in detail to infer that person's temperament and methods of doing things.
But he guessed the beginning, but not the end.
Ye Qing is a very smart person and knows how to use Princess Jinsha to intercept Mu Jiaqi's caravan. At the same time, he went to the beast cage to fight to the death and prove to everyone that he had evidence of alibi.
So he asked Duma to pick him up and he would come.
But what I never expected was that he would come with murderous intent.
In him, there is no Chinese humility at all, only a domineering attitude.
He only saw four words in his eyes, you are a barbarian.
Moreover, he also discovered a very scary problem. Ye Qing could turn around and leave. What would happen to the Dragon Collapse Army?
Now that the caravan is gone, even if Mu Jiajun can transport some supplies to northern Myanmar through the Kachin Regional Army, it will be extremely limited and cannot meet the needs of all ethnic groups.
Especially the Collapse Dragon Clan.
Among the various ethnic groups in northern Myanmar, the Kachin Independence Army fights on the frontal battlefield.
The Benglong Army attacked the flanks.
The various units of the Kokang Army, the Northern Shan State Army, and even the Wa State Army have all aligned themselves with the military government.
Although they are still suppressed and restricted by the military government in various ways, they do not need to confront the government forces head-on.
In northern Myanmar, if a nation wants to become stronger, it must bow to the military government, be willing to become a dog-leg army, and be willing to let its people become mining slaves and be enslaved by the Bamar people forever.
Or pick up a gun and carry out the resistance to the end.
Use force to fight for the rights and interests that a nation should have.
But what about the gun!
This is no longer the age of cold weapons. With a big sword and a piece of rattan armor, you can conquer all directions.
What is needed now are more advanced thermal weapons, Bayi bars, bullets and rockets.
None of these three options can be created by the Benglong Clan.
The Benglong Army does not have aircraft, tanks, or armored vehicles. Therefore, whether it is to seize commanding heights, conquer difficult terrain, or defend mining areas, infantry combat is required.
The most important weapon in the hands of infantry is the gun.
But a gun alone is not enough. What makes a gun powerful is the bullet.
Bullets are a consumable, and every battle consumes tons of them.
The Bayi guns and bullets manufactured by Huaguo Military Industry are the best choice for the Benglong Army in terms of quantity, quality and price.
Especially bullets.
Although bullets are the most common, the production process of a qualified bullet is far beyond people's imagination.
Cartridge, primer, charge, warhead, this is the original concept of the bullet.
However, when manufacturing, we have to take into account the expertise of multiple disciplines such as physics, chemistry, materials science, aerodynamics, etc.
Good bullets can overcome air resistance and improve range and accuracy.
When choosing the material for making bullets, the texture should not be too soft, otherwise, the bullet may fragment in the barrel, increasing the risk of exploding the chamber.
The texture should not be too hard, otherwise it will increase the friction when exiting the barrel, which will not only reduce the lethality, but also shorten the life of the barrel.
The Wa State Army can also manufacture guns and ammunition, but due to the lack of craftsmanship, the Type 56 submachine guns copied by the Wa State Military Industry not only fail to absorb the advantages of the AK-47, but instead infinitely magnify its shortcomings.
The most speechless thing is that the bullets produced by the Wa State Military Industry explode, jam, and fail to fire. There are serious problems.
This is also the same as old Sangji, who immediately abandoned the Wa military industry once he was sure that Ye Qing could really provide guns and ammunition manufactured by the Chinese military industry.
Although China's policy towards the various ethnic groups in northern Myanmar is very uncertain, it may change at any time due to the attitude of the military government.
But the Bayi gun is available, but what is missing is bullets.
While the Red Star Group's energy source is continuously supplied, just stock up in large quantities.
At the same time, we must also step up cooperation with the Red Star Group, especially in non-ferrous metal minerals.
These minerals, which are useless to the national armies, are in urgent need of China.
As long as the Red Star Group stays in northern Myanmar to mine, the Benglong tribe will not only be able to make money from these useless minerals, but also obtain sufficient weapons.
This is also the consensus reached by Hong Tao and the elders.
Hong Tao looked at Ye Qing: "We are just doing a routine investigation. After all, we have to give an explanation to all the businessmen who come to Mogok to do business, but young man, you are rude."
Ye Qing smiled slightly: "On the premise of mutual respect, I am a very polite person. If I am rude, then please ask the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff to look in the mirror."
Tulong said solemnly: "You are really not afraid of death."
"Death is mutual. If you are not afraid, what should I be afraid of?"
Tulong said with a gloomy face: "But you should understand that the Mu family left Mogok and caused huge losses to the Benglong clan."
Ye Qing smiled and said: "But my arrival has also brought hope to the Benglong Clan."
Tulan looked at him suspiciously: "I hope..."
Ye Qing nodded affirmatively: "The so-called independence of the Benglong clan is actually a very narrow independence. To put it bluntly, it is like a toad sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
Although he can dominate himself in the well, he loses the opportunity to contact the outside world. In a country, it is the diplomatic power. Only with independent diplomatic rights and import and export trade rights can a nation have a bright future.
Moreover, minerals are your best commodity to replace prohibited goods. Although they are not as profitable as prohibited goods, they are found all over the mountains and plains. Just the Libodong copper mine and Pagan limonite will allow you to mine them for hundreds of years.
The Red Star Group will purchase the ore you mine at a price slightly lower than the international market price. "
"Why is the price lower than the international market price?"
"Mining is your ability, but transporting ore back to the country is my ability." Ye Qing smiled and said: "Without enough profit, I will not come to northern Myanmar to pan for gold.
But I can guarantee that even if the price I offer is lower than the international market, it is still much higher than the price offered to you by those big international companies. "
Hong Tao and Tu Long's hearts beat loudly. The long-term benefits of mining attract them.
The four major industries used by the Benglong Army to raise military expenses are gambling, jadeite, gemstones and contraband.
For the Benglong tribe, the contraband business is the easiest and simplest. They don't care about planting or refining, they just provide a trading market in Mogok, from which they can draw high commissions every year.
However, this commission accounted for more than 50% of the total military expenditure of the Collapse Dragon Army.
No one is willing to give up such huge benefits.
Tulong stared at him: "The pie you painted for the Benglong tribe is very fragrant and beautiful, but everything is based on money.
Only if you have money, you will sell us guns and bullets, so at the beginning, we need huge funds. We Benglong people don’t know how to gamble on stones, and we don’t like jade. However, we have been dealing with jade all our lives.
Gambling stones and jade are commodities for huge profits, and they are also our most important source of military expenditure. "
"That's what Elder Tulong means."
Tulong said matter-of-factly: "We have a lot of jadeite in our warehouse, and you are a disciple of General Jade. As long as you can get a valuable jadeite from the warehouse to prove your ability. From now on, we will follow you Betting on stones together to win funds to buy arms.”
