Chapter 290 Arms

"Kor, in our operations in Myanmar, three people have died in the past four years! They are all people I sent!" Mike Aller's first words shocked Yang Jing.

Yang Jing knew that Myanmar was in chaos at this time. In fact, Myanmar has never been calm since the end of World War II. Strictly speaking, the civil strife in Myanmar is even comparable to the intensity of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Myanmar has not been truly unified in the past few decades and even until the 21st century.

But Yang Jing really didn't expect that the political situation in Myanmar in the early 1980s was relatively stable, so Yang Jing dared to let Mike Al-Ar arrange people to go to the jade mining area in northern Myanmar to start mining. According to Yang Jing's idea, in the early 1980s, Americans were also very fed in Myanmar. As long as Mike Al-Ar sent people to the past to death and not let the big drug lord of Kunsha encounter it, there was basically no problem with personal safety.

But three people died in the past four years. What's going on?

Seeing Yang Jing's face darkened, Mike Aller explained with a wry smile: "Actually, I blamed me for this. When I was selecting people, I did not consider their experiences. As a result, the five people sent over to do something that should not be done there, which aroused the anger of the people in power in Kachin State. Only two of the five people escaped, and the other three died there."

Sighing, Mike Aller said helplessly: "There is so chaos over there. The degree of chaos is something I never thought of. Those five people are retired members of the Navy SEALs."

"What the hell is going on?" Yang Jin asked in a deep voice.

"The five guys did a good job at the beginning. They used the US dollar to open up some ways in Kachin State, but those five guys were not settled. There were several local women there, which caused serious chaos and three were killed by local armed forces on the spot..."

"How can you hire such a scum..." Yang Jing wanted to hold Mike Aller accountable, but seeing that he looked guilty, Yang Jing endured it and then endured it.

"How are the remaining two people?" Yang Jing took a long breath, suppressed the flame in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, those two guys were sent to Canada by my people, and they all died in a car accident." Mike Aller said sinisterly, "It was not my move, but those two guys who drank too much and drove the car into a lake on the side of the road. It was the winter of the previous year..."

Yang Jing nodded slightly.

"Later I realized that I could not send Americans blatantly in that chaotic place, so I found an Asian immigrant from Myanmar in the United States and asked him to take charge of the matter there. This guy did a good job. In less than a year, he contacted Peng Jiasheng, who had been silent for several years, and used the arms I had smuggled for him to make Peng Jiasheng stronger again, and then the matter for us there became much easier."

"Peng Jiasheng?" Yang Jing was also shocked when he heard this name. Peng Jiasheng's prestige in Myanmar in the last century was no less than that in Khon Sa, especially in Kachin State in northern Myanmar. Peng Jiasheng at his heyday can be said to be the king of Kachin State.

However, in the 1970s, Peng Jiasheng encountered a series of blows and gradually fell into silence. It was not until the late 1980s and early 1990s that he rose again and dominated Kachin State again.

However, although Peng Jiasheng fell into silence at this time, the four kings under his command controlled the military power of Kachin State, and Peng Jiasheng was still the king of Kachin State hidden in the darkness.

"Mike, did the guy you were looking for impressing Peng Jiasheng with arms?"

"Well." Mike Aller nodded with a smile, "I didn't expect that this warlord with the nickname "Ko Kang King" would be so easily impressed. I just contacted an arms broker active in the Middle East through a friend, and then got a thousand AK47s and one hundred RPG7 individual rocket launchers from that guy, plus some corresponding ammunition. It cost less than 700,000 US dollars in total, and I directly dealt with Peng Jiasheng."

Hearing this number, Yang Jing couldn't help but smile and asked with a smile: "Are they all second-hand arms?"

"Haha, what kind of soldiers do you think the so-called Kokang Allied Army can be? The Kokang Allied Army soldiers are actually a group of young and strong young farmers. Give them second-hand AK47 and RPG7, which is already very high-end weapon for them. According to Wu Qinmao, oh, this person is the Burmese Asian I was looking for. Many soldiers there are still holding weapons from World War II. So, even the second-hand AK47 is excellent for the soldiers there. As for RPG7, it is equivalent to high-end weapon for them."

Yang Jing also smiled helplessly and shook his head. Isn’t that the case? It’s the 1980s and not the 21st century. Even if the conflict broke out in northern Myanmar again in 2015, the weapons taken by local soldiers in northern Myanmar were only AK47.

Mike Aller said: "The second-hand AK47,280 USD per RPG7,300 USD per . Including ammunition, it cost less than 700,000 USD. It is very cheap, and it is really cheap. You should know that the three people who died, I just gave them the pensions of up to 500,000 USD per person! Alas, if I had known that those indigenous soldiers were so easily impressed, I would have used this method long ago."

Yang Jing also found it a little ridiculous, "Forget it, just pay a little, that's three lives after all."

"Wu Qinmao did a good job in Kachin State. He is a Burmese himself. I asked him to go there as a jade merchant. In addition to the arms he provided to Peng Jiasheng, Wu Qinmao's status in Kachin State is now quite high."

Yang Jing smiled and nodded and said, "Haha, with the protection of the King of Kokang Peng Jiasheng, no one in Kachin State dared to touch Wu Qinmao."

"That's right, after Peng Jiasheng got the batch of arms we provided, he, who had been living in seclusion, returned again and quickly controlled the situation in Kachin State. Wu Qinmao, as the person who provided him with arms, naturally received Peng Jiasheng's protection, so we were able to successfully open a mining area in the area you mentioned last year."

After a pause, Mike Aller continued: "But, I should have traveled to China in August last year, taking advantage of the good relationship between Pitt Wu and the government there to secretly open up the transportation route from the Pagan mining area to China, and then transport the ores to China. As a result, you are here..."

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "This doesn't matter. Compared to that mining area, this investment is more important. It doesn't matter if you are a year or two later."

Myanmar jade will not rise wildly until the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is now 1986, and Myanmar jade is still half-dead. Although the price of jade in Southeast Asia is very high, it lacks the huge market of China. The price of jadeite is actually not high in Myanmar, even on the public market.

The current Myanmar jadeite publication is not as crazy as the 21st century. Now, the jadeite mining rights in Myanmar are nominally in the hands of the Myanmar government, but the real jadeite mining areas are now controlled by the army of Kachin State. With the confrontation between the Kachin State and the Myanmar government, the number of jadeites on the Myanmar jadeite publication can be imagined.

Those jade ores cannot even be transported out of Kachin State. How many more jade can there be on the public market?

Yang Jing wanted to take advantage of the confrontation between the north and south of Myanmar during this period to quietly open a mining area from there, and then dig up enough jadeite raw stones to transport them back to the country to store. After peace there, it would not be so easy to dig jadeite ore from there.

Yang Jing asked, "Mike, how is that Wu Qin? I mean, can it be reliable?"

Mike Aller shook his head slightly and said, "BOSS, I can't say this. On the surface, Wu Qinmao should be fine. After all, his family is still in the United States, and I offered him an annual salary of up to one million US dollars. He has no reason to betray us. But you also know that it is also impossible for me to ask Wu Qinmao to take charge of the work there. After all, he is not a person who knows me well, so..."

Yang Jing nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Can you still contact him that arms dealer?"

“This is no problem.”

"Okay, then you can contact that guy again and ask him to prepare ten 'Sthorn' individual air defense missiles, thirty M2HB heavy machine guns, one hundred M60 general-purpose machine guns, and at least four base ammunition. I need him to transport these things to Myitkyina within a month. The price can be increased, but I must deliver them to Myitkyina on time."

When Mike Aller heard this, he took a breath, "BOSS, what are you doing?"

In this era, the M60 general-purpose machine gun was already an absolute killer. As for the M2HB heavy machine gun with a 50-caliber caliber M2HB can be used as a cannon in northern Myanmar, and the "Sthorn" individual air defense missile was only produced in small quantities in 1983. Now, even among the US military, it is a high-end weapon.

Yang Jing smiled and said, "There is nothing else. I plan to visit the Kokang Wang Peng Jiasheng in a month. Of course, the necessary gifts must not be missing."

"BOSS, but Wu Qinmao has done a good job over there. There is no need to take risks on your own. It's too messy over there."

"Haha, don't worry, since I want to go there, I'm sure I can escape unstoppable. And I'll be able to pass this time, and I can open up the ore transportation route from the mining area to China. You can notify Wu Qinmao and Pitt Wu and let them cooperate with me in a month. What should I do in detail? Let me talk about it after I'm over."
