Chapter 295 Dangerous area!

The night is as deep as water.

Pingshi seemed particularly quiet under the night. In a bedroom in Villa No. 2, Zhao's Mansion, under the white light, the figure who had been sitting in front of the bed suddenly closed the book, then stretched out his big waist, grabbed the boiling water on the desk in front and took a nice sip.

“The food at the dinner was pretty good, I had a lot of food.”

After drinking a sip of water and touching his bloated belly, there was still a smile on Tang Tianyou's face.

Tonight, Mr. Zhao's 70th birthday party was going smoothly, without too many accidents, a harmonious and lively atmosphere, and there was not much to say. During the whole banquet, Tang Tianyou was accompanied by Zhao Feng and sat in the corner of the birthday party with Zhao Manni and Yan Liya and had a meal.

Perhaps because of Zhao Chongping's advice, Zhao Feng was even more enthusiastic about the landlord during the birthday party, and treated Tang Tianyou very comfortably and introduced him to many friends. Unfortunately, he was not interested in these things, just nodded, shook his hand, and even thought it was over.

"However, Brother Zhao's birthday party has passed. There is nothing else to do here. It's time to set off tomorrow." Tang Tianyou murmured as he looked at the scenery outside the window.

The next moment, Tang Tianyou turned off the light and fell into a deep sleep.

…………………

At noon the next day, in the restaurant of Villa No. 2.

"Brother Tianyou, are you really going to leave?" Zhao Feng looked at Tang Tianyou anxiously and tried his best to dissuade him, "Would you be fine to stay here and play for a few more days? Last night, the old man specifically told me to take good care of you. But you are leaving suddenly now. Wouldn't the old man think that I was not taking good care of you and would make you angry?"

"Brother Zhao, don't worry." Tang Tianyou smiled slightly, "I will tell him personally about the aspect of Mr. Zhao, and I believe he can forgive me."

"Oh, brother Tianyou, since you have decided to leave, I won't say more." Zhao Feng sighed. After several days of contact, he knew that Tang Tianyou was a very strong-minded person. Once such a person is determined, even ten cows cannot be pulled back.

"Brother Zhao, thank you for your understanding." Tang Tianyou smiled, "It's not that I don't want to stay here for a long time. I really can't wait. I want to see the place where you found Bai Yaosian."

"It's not a problem to go to that place. Now the military's martial law on the border has been lax, but..." Zhao Feng stopped talking, "There is one thing I have to tell you first."

"What's the matter?" Tang Tianyou looked at Zhao Feng.

"That's right, the place you are going to now may be a bit dangerous." Zhao Feng explained.

"Danger?"

"Yes, it's dangerous!" Zhao Feng's face became a little serious, "I'm afraid you know that although this is a plain city, it's still a peaceful and safe city, but in the past, it's a famous Golden Triangle region in the world!"

After hearing this, Tang Tianyou nodded, and of course he knew about the Golden Triangle area.

The "Golden Triangle" refers to a triangle area located in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia. Because this area has long been rich in opium and other drugs, it is the main drug production in the world, making the "Golden Triangle" famous all over the world!

The traffic here is blocked, with mountains piled up, with a total area of ​​about 150,000 to 200,000 square kilometers. The undulating mountains have formed a three-dimensional climate, and it is difficult for people at the foot of the mountain to be hot. At that time, people at the top of the mountain may have to surround the fire pit to resist the cold. Relatively speaking, the natural conditions in high-altitude areas are relatively poor, and people's lives are more difficult.

Because of the poor living conditions here, the Golden Triangle is rich in poppy, which allows the people to survive. They also produce opium, heroin and other drugs through local warlords, drug lords, etc., and sell them to the world.

The Golden Triangle region is the largest production area of ​​opium and heroin-like drugs in the world. It has a planting area of ​​more than 1 million mu. It produces 2,650 to 2,800 tons of opium annually and about 200 tons of heroin annually.

Some people who are familiar with the matter believe that the Golden Triangle is the source of 20% of the world's opium supply, and heroin trafficked through the Golden Triangle region each year accounts for 60% and 70% of the world's total. The annual production capacity of heroin in the region can meet the global consumption of heroin in two years!

Until today, the Golden Triangle region is known as the three major drug sources in the world, along with the Golden Crescent region on the border between Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Colombia and Venezuela!

It is conceivable how chaotic this place, known as the "source of sin" in the world, is!

In the 20th century, many famous drug lords appeared in the area. For a long time, many armed forces and other drug weapons have been active here, so it is also called "the paradise for adventurers".

For example, Khun Sa, Luo Xinghan, Peng Jiasheng and others, in order to produce and sell drugs, these drug lords organized a group of well-equipped local armed forces, and even... dared to openly compete with central governments such as Myanmar and Thailand!

Of course, the chaotic Golden Triangle region is not only these private drug lord forces, but the several local forces that once produced the most drugs in Myanmar were: the First Special Zone Kokang, the Second Special Zone Wa State, etc.

These places are actually controlled by local warlord forces. Although they surrender to the central military government of Myanmar, they still have great autonomy and provide considerable convenience for their own supply and trafficking of drugs.

"The Golden Triangle is indeed chaotic." Tang Tianyou said.

"Why is it so chaotic there? There is actually a reason." Zhao Feng smiled. "The Mekong River is an important geographical reason for the formation of the "Golden Triangle". It flows straight south from Qinghai in northwest China, passing through six countries: China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia."

"The 4,009-kilometer river channel cuts off the mountains and ridges of Southeast Asia in half. Coupled with the numerous deep valleys and turbulent tributaries between the mountains, it has created countless canyons and cliffs, forming large traffic dead ends."

"Due to the above special geographical reasons, the Golden Triangle region has fewer economic and cultural connections with developed regions, and it is difficult for the central government of relevant countries to carry out in-depth or effective control of the Golden Triangle period for a long time."

Tang Tianyou agreed very much that the government will definitely be difficult to manage in places with complex geographical environment. The local power is strong, the central government is weak and the management is not effective, so how can it not be confused?!

The Golden Triangle has good climatic conditions for crop production, coupled with the particularity and complexity of the terrain, landform and geographical climate, which has created an excellent place for survival and marching for the survival and reproduction of many ethnic groups in this region, as well as various separatist forces, regional forces or ethnic armed forces.

"It's hard to imagine." Zhao Feng sighed, "It's obviously a backward and narrow dead corner, but it constantly exudes the energy that corrodes civilized society, and stubbornly announces its existence to the world."
