"Hey, old man, long time no see, are you okay?"
As soon as they met, Nicholas gave Yang Jing a big hug, which was so affectionate that Austin and his bodyguards were a little dumbfounded.Austin didn't know that their big boss and the black and thin guy in front of them had an irreversible relationship, although the two hadn't seen each other for two years, but the two of them were also "comrades-in-arms" who had "carried guns" and fought the Burmese government army.Yang Jing patted Nicholas Ballmer's junior vigorously, feeling that although this guy looked thin, the muscles on his body were still very strong, and let go of Ballmer with a smile, Yang Jing looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two years, you are still the same."
How's it going, how are you staying in Myanmar?
”Hearing this, Ballmer was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly and bitterly, "Let's go back and talk about it, it's not convenient to talk here." ”Yang Jing nodded, waved at Austin, and the group walked out of the waiting hall.Outside the waiting hall, the old man was waiting outside with three cars.Yang Jing and Nicholas got into a car, Austin immediately sat in the passenger seat, and then the three cars immediately drove out of the airport and headed for Yanjing.At this time, although the construction of the airport highway has not yet begun, and you can only take National Highway 101, there are far fewer vehicles in Yanjing at this time than there will be 30 years later, so the speed of running is not slow."
Nick, if you have anything to say now, I see you're full of worries right now."
Nicholas pouted and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, the Kokang King in the south doesn't know what to think, but he has a faint attitude of compromising with the government army, and as a result, I don't know what to do over there." ”Hearing Nicholas's words, Yang Jing couldn't help but secretly sigh at the strength of historical inertia.Although because of his own intervention, the Kokang King rose two years ahead of schedule, and the current situation in Kachin State is far better than in the previous life, but the Kokang King is the Kokang King, and in order to ban drugs, he would rather give up the current good situation and negotiate peace with the government army, and this alone is enough to be respected.It's just that if you really look at the trajectory of history, the time point for King Kokang to really negotiate peace with the government army should be next year, but since King Kokang is willing to talk with the government army, then he must make a gesture now.In the past two years, the Kokang King has led the Kachin army to beat the government army not lightly, and the strength that the Kokang King needs to show has been shown, so the Kokang King, who has beaten the government army with a stick, will inevitably give the government army another date to eat, so that the best way to ensure the special status of Kachin State is to fight and pull.The most important thing is that Yang Jing knew that this Kokang King was really about anti-drugs, and in this era of the original time and space, when the Kokang King was in power, the entire Golden Triangle region had the best anti-drug situation in Kachin State.Nicholas was an arms dealer, and the best conditions for their life were during the war between the two sides, but now that both sides were going to hold peace talks, the first arms dealers like them to have no room to survive.Nicholas is also a tragic figure, originally he had reached the middle level of Lockheed, but because of some accident, he was assassinated three times, and as a result, he could not even go back to the United States.However, this guy is a tough man, and in such a difficult situation, he was able to open up the situation in the Middle East, and finally became a well-known arms dealer in the Middle East.However, a few years ago, Mike Ale contacted him and asked him to provide arms to the king of Kokang, and later Yang Jing went directly to Myanmar, and the arms dealer took a car directly from Mandalay to Myitkyina, although Nicholas did not follow Yang Jing to the Hpakant mining area, but that night when Yang Jing was attacked by the government army, the arms dealer in Myitkyina directly provided two Hind helicopter gunships to help Yang Jing and those mine owners defeat the government army.After this friendship, Yang Jing successfully entered Kachin State and obtained another site in the Damakan mining area through that sudden battle, so that Yang Jing had two sites in the Damakan mining area, and because of the relationship of arms sales, the Kokang King also promised to pay a protection fee of 2 million US dollars a year to ensure that Yang Jing's transport vehicles were unimpeded in northern Myanmar.However, Yang Jing also knew that the King of Kokang was really ruthless, and in order to prevent him from becoming completely bigger, Yang Jing also specially told Nicholas to hang the King of Kokang with arms.Nicholas has done well in the past two years, but the King of Kokang wants to negotiate peace with the government army, which is not something that Yang Jing and Nicholas can control.Although King Kokang did not unilaterally tear up the verbal agreement with Yang Jing, what he is now going to talk about with the government army is actually causing a de facto tearing up of the agreement.Now there is a lot less jadeite ore from Damakan to Ruili, and it is estimated that after the Kachin army and the government army really reach an agreement next year, they will no longer be able to swagger to transport jadeite ore from the mining area to Huaxia.But Yang Jing and Nicholas can't do anything about this bold king, they can't kill him, right?
This guy is an authentic hero, as long as it is beneficial to him, let alone a verbal agreement, even if there is a real contract?
As the saying goes, a tree will die without bark, and a man will be invincible in the world.Don't talk about the cheekiness of this Kokang king, everyone is the master who puts his head and melon seeds on the waistband of his pants, and you still expect to talk about cheekiness with this kind of person, it's just a joke."
And what are you going to do?"
Yang Jing asked.Nicholas shook his head and said, "I'm not sure right now."
Now there are a lot of lists here in Huaxia, and if it doesn't work, I'll go back to Africa, anyway, I've opened up a lot of ways over there in the past two years.It's just to watch that Kokang King ruin the agreement between us like this, and I'm really a little unwilling.Cole, do you want me to give that guy" Nicholas made a throat-wiping motion.Yang Jing shook his head and vetoed: "No, you can't do this."
Although the Kokang King wants to break the agreement between us, we cannot kill him because of this matter.The prestige of this old guy in Kachin State is still very high, and if he dies, some things will be very difficult.So, he can't die yet. ”"That's right, Nick, you said that you went back to Africa, in fact, it's not impossible, you can continue to expand your business in Africa in the past two years, and at the same time pay more attention to the Middle East, I don't think it will take a few years, and the Middle East will have to be chaotic again.""
Really?"
Nicholas's eyes lit up when he heard this.To be honest, Nicholas really coveted the markets in the Middle East, especially during the Iran-Iraq war, which was definitely a haven for arms dealers.It's a pity that an arms dealer like him, who doesn't have a deep enough background, can't make any waves in the deep waters of the Middle East.He could only watch with greed as those arms dealers with deep backgrounds were like fish in water in the Middle East, and then do some business that others would eat the rest of.It's like the Iran-Iraq war, which lasted for eight years, and it was a feast for all arms dealers in the world.But most of the arms deals at that level have a national background, and a purely personal arms dealer like Nicholas has no right to share in this gluttonous feast.So, Nicholas is very greedy!
Now that I heard that Yang Jing asked him to pay more attention to the Middle East, can Nicholas not be excited.Yang Jing nodded and said: "Not yet, but with the end of the Iran-Iraq war, some of the things that have been accumulated in the Middle East in the past ten years will break out sooner or later. ”"What?
You say the Iran-Iraq war is coming to an end?
”"Well, if my estimate is correct, in four months at most, this eight-year-long war will be over.Neither Iran nor Iraq can afford such an endless war.Moreover, the pressure from the international community will also push for the end of this war as soon as possible. ”"Well, Cole, I actually agree with your judgment, but I judge that this war may end next year."
Nicholas lit a cigar, took a puff and continued: "But since the Iran-Iraq war is coming to an end this year, what else do I pay attention to the market over there?"
Without war, the Middle East has entered a period of peace, hello, hello, everyone, and for those who do what we do, it is equivalent to unemployment. ”Yang Jing smiled, "Who said that when the Iran-Iraq war is over, the Middle East will enter a period of peace?"
Iran has the support of a woolly bear behind it, and maybe it won't stir up trouble after the war, but is that guy you a docile cat?
”Nicholas hesitated for a moment before asking, "You mean Sadamu?"
”"Well, it's because of the presence of Sadam that the Middle East will continue to be chaotic next."
After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "This guy is a very arrogant guy, especially the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, which has raised his arrogance to a peak.The most important thing is that the current Iraq is already heavily indebted after eight years of war, and under such circumstances, how can the arrogant Saddam allow his country to decay?
Therefore, he will definitely try his best to raise oil prices to pay off his debts.Of course, if something happens that displeases Saddam, this arrogant guy may use this excuse to get some debts off his debts, such as those of countries that are weaker than Iraq.Once such a thing happens, the Middle East will fall into chaos again" Although Yang Jing's explanation was a bit vague, Nicholas's eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
