Volume 6 [The tiger is also strong when it goes to sea] NO.205 Lashio Copper Mine
In early March, a geological and mineral expedition team from Japan's Sumitomo Copper Co., Ltd. returned to Yangon. After returning to Japan for further mineral analysis, it was determined that the mountainous area they visited should be a shallow red copper ore. Iron tetroxide
The ingredients are extremely high, and there are no armed forces involved in this mountainous area.
It was a deserted land.
It is about thirty kilometers away from Lashio and about fifteen kilometers away from China-Myanmar Highway No. 2.
This is an intersection.
Abe Aikawa, the current president of Sumitomo Copper Co., Ltd. and chairman of Sumitomo Energy Investment Company, submitted an analysis report to Sumitomo Group, SoftBank Investment Bank, Mitsui Heavy Industries, and Mitsubishi Manufacturing at a "White Water Meeting" meeting, and explained this in detail
The reserves of flake copper ore.
Because of the current civil war in Myanmar, it would be very cost-effective if the Wa State and Myanmar military governments were offered to buy out the mining period at this time, and they might only need to use five thousandths of the price to make a profit.
This also reflects the high copper content of this copper mine, which is indeed very rare.
However, there was a slight hiccup in mid-March, because Zhang Bi's Nam Dinh Army was fighting against the Karen Democratic Army near the Nam Dinh River. During the four-day battle, Phelps's troops
After three defeats in three battles, they retreated continuously and were finally annihilated outside Lashio City. This also resulted in the largest annihilation battle in the second civil war of the Union of Myanmar.
The main force of the Karen Democratic Army was completely wiped out, and the remaining large forces were also defeated. Now the remaining stragglers can only fight guerrillas in the lower reaches of the Nam Dinh River and dare not go north.
At this time, the Nanding Army was far more powerful than ordinary people imagined.
The worst thing is that the Western media still have no detailed first-hand information about the Nam Dinh Army in Nam Dinh City. They only learned from the Myanmar military government that a mysterious force suddenly appeared and not only occupied a good position.
Due to its geographical location, it seems that its combat effectiveness is very strong.
In fact, the coincidence is that this copper mine is too close to the China-Myanmar Highway No. 2. In order to protect the construction site from harassment by other armed forces, Zhang Bi dispersed the patrol team far away and opened a special road.
Some hidden mountain roads allow combatants to quickly pass through.
Among the blasting experts who accompanied him, one was transferred from the Wolong Copper Mine in the Chengdu Military Region. He was originally just a blasting expert conducting detonator experiments in the mining area, but he accidentally appeared in Myanmar.
During the four-month expedition, as a blasting expert in a copper mining area, he still had a basic understanding of mineral deposits. After discovering the mineral deposits in that uninhabited land, the blasting expert was not sure about it.
, so I suggested that Zhang Bi ask some domestic copper mining experts to come over.
Finally, after the ore experts came over, they determined that this place was a rich ore. Shallow copper mines, and even open-pit red copper veins were found in two valleys, with scattered ores everywhere.
If there was an external highway here, it would be an unimaginable wealth.
And it was also in mid-March, the afternoon after the Battle of Nanding River, that Chen Mingliang launched an empty city strategy. He arrogantly arranged dozens of troops on the front line, followed by more than a dozen simple bunkers, all filled with weapons.
Hay helmets and paint masks.
At first glance, there were hundreds of large guns resting on sandbags, as well as six or seven machine guns. Several of Wei Xuebing's scouts were killed by Chen Mingliang's six snipers.
This sudden display of power shocked Wei Xuebing and Wei Xuegang.
"**...that bitch Zhang Bi, didn't he go to beat Phelps? What's going on?"
Wei Xuegang slammed the cover of the jeep, and Wei Xuebing asked thoughtfully: "Does that guy still have troops? Impossible, Phelps has thousands of fast guns, mortars and howitzers, well-equipped, and two mercenaries
Zhang Bi, a well-known ruthless character in the military brigade, is so confident that he can deal with Phelps?"
"Do you think... could it be that Chen Mingliang is such a stupid liar?"
Wei Xuegang rolled his eyes and asked suddenly.
Wei Xuebing gritted his teeth and said in a ferocious voice: "Why don't you go forward and test it out?"
“Whether you have the confidence or not, you will know once you try it.”
Wei Xuegang nodded and agreed with Wei Xuebing's suggestion.
The two of them calculated it together and sent an envoy to go forward to negotiate.
"Boss Chen, they are here."
At this time, Chen Mingliang's heart was almost in his throat. This move was really brilliant. The empty city plan and the trick were really not made by humans.
If those few soldiers were not all elite and strong generals who had fought with militants at the border in the early years, who the hell would dare to entrust such a large number of dozens of people to confront thousands of people?
But Chen Mingliang was sure that Wei Xuegang and Wei Xuebing brothers did not dare to take risks. Even if there were only hundreds of guns in Nanding City, if it was really a bloody battle, Wei Xuebing and Wei Xuegang should know that they really couldn't afford it.
If they die here in Nanding City, Lin Feihu will be able to raid their nest tomorrow.
Right now, in the two cities over there, it was said that Wei Xuegang didn't leave any seven or eight hundred men. Who could tell him? Lin Feihu was watching eagerly from the side, and after defrauding Bao Youxiang from the east of the Salween River, he
It occupies some of the original land.
It can be considered that he has put up a good posture.
But Lin Feihu also knew that he could not be the same as before.
If you grow opium on the border, in the end, in addition to being disgusted by the Chinese government, you may end up being tripped up by someone else, and many people will be hacked to death on the China-Myanmar border.
Lin Feihu is not stupid.
Therefore, opium must not be touched.
All I can say is that we must find another way.
Zhang Bi was able to build roads and get the right of way because he had a strong foundation, what was his domestic background in China, and what treasure he had on hand, which made the Chinese government seem to be quite biased. Lin Feihu knew this, Wei Xuebing Wei Xuegang
I understand. But why did the two brothers Wei Xuebing and Wei Xuegang dare to take action?
That's because these two people have made up their mind. If they capture Zhang Bi, won't they also gain the right of way? Can't they act as agents for once? If Zhang Bi can do it, why can't they?
Do?
There are many people who become dizzy when their brains get hot.
"Are we friends from Nading City in front of you?"
A man with a Yunnan dialect was sent here. He was tall, lean and strong. He could not be said to be a good man who had weathered the storm. It was a pity that he was buried with Wei Xuebing and Wei Xuegang.
Chen Mingliang used a color, and the person under his hand waved a flag with the word "Chen" on it.
The person opposite knew that it was him who was driving someone, but he still did this. He must be testing the truth.
Chen Mingliang was not afraid. He sneered and used another color. The seven or eight tweeters suddenly sounded. They were recorded early in the morning.
In this situation, just let it go.
"Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. You have entered the attack range of the Nam Dinh Army. I give you three minutes."
The sound was very loud, it was Chen Mingliang's own voice, followed by the roars of hundreds of men. The sound was like a wave of air coming roaring over.
The man who came with a Yunnan dialect was stunned for a moment, only to think that the number of people hiding in front was probably not a thousand people.
Don't talk about him. When Wei Xuebing Wei Xuegang looked through the telescope later, he saw rows of hats, helmets and rifles. His face turned green.
Wei Xuebing turned around and said: "**, Chen Mingliang's grandson is quite shady. Looking at only a hundred people, I'm afraid there are hundreds of people hiding on the slope. Look, the trees are swaying, which is obviously different from the direction of the wind. What a fool!"
He wants to trick us."
On that mountain, there were ropes entwined between the trees.
Several strong men were pulling, and the way the trees swayed was completely different from the way the wind blew.
This surprise made Wei Xuegang a little angry, and shouted: "**, I don't believe that two thousand of us can't defeat them, I use armored vehicles to drive the road, these stinky *bastards raised me, I don't believe this evil!"
Gulu gulu gulu...
When the armored vehicle drove out, it really shocked people.
Chen Mingliang also had cold sweat on his forehead. An iron brother next to him asked: "Boss Chen, what should we do? These bastards have armored vehicles."
There were two machine guns mounted on it, and dozens of infantrymen followed on the left and right, holding akms. It looked like they had been operating in this situation for a long time, and they were very skilled.
Chen Mingliang took a deep breath and suddenly ran to a sniper point. At this time, a voice came from the loudspeaker: "Attention the armored vehicles in front before continuing to move forward. We are about to fire. Warning, continue to move forward. We are about to fire."
The armored vehicle gurgled forward, and the heads of both sides were nervous. Wei Xuegang didn't know why he wanted to continue testing, because he felt that the people in front seemed too pretentious.
Another one, he wanted to take a gamble and bet that Zhang Bi wouldn't have so many troops to spread out.
He knew how capable Zhang Bi was and how many men and horses Nanding City could command? He didn't believe it. How could those local bumpkins who didn't distinguish between left and right become elite soldiers?
Of course not.
But it was more than enough to fool the two brothers.
The car advanced twenty-five meters. During this distance, everything seemed very exciting.
The atmosphere was tense, and both sides were still exercising restraint. Although there had been several confrontations between the scouts before, the scouts of the two brothers Wei Xuebing and Wei Xuegang were basically all killed, and they were completely defeated.
Chen Mingliang is lying on the ground. This is a large-caliber rifle, which is also the legendary anti-material sniper rifle of Americans. This is a 2006 Bartley.
The test gun was tested by Hu University, and it is a good gun. More than a dozen snipers in Nanding City love it. It is really a very sharp weapon.
If you shoot out, everything will be destroyed.
"Fucking son of a bitch...the success or failure depends on this shot. I'm going to fight my ass off."
He is wearing headphones.
In the scope, it was really clear and the trigger was pulled.
a loud bang
The world was shaken.
…
Two days later, three happy events came to Nanding City.
First, the annihilation of Phelps scared off the Wei brothers; second, the commercial tax in Mangshi increased by another 5%; and third, it was confirmed that both domestic high-level officials and Huang Silang's Sihai Industrial in that mining area had the ability to cooperate with
Interest investment.
The even more shocking news was that at the end of March, a railway planning plan for this mountainous area, which had been named the Lashio Copper Mine in China, was suddenly put on the agenda.
In fact, it is difficult to build the China-Myanmar Railway. In addition to the mountainous area, there are also many rivers running north and south, and the water flows are fast. It is very difficult to build a steel railway bridge.
Furthermore, the geographical location of the Lashio Copper Mine is too delicate. If it is too intrusive, it is unknown whether it will arouse Bao Youxiang's dissatisfaction and trigger complaints within the Wa State.
However, what is admirable is that Zhang Bi, who had just fought a few battles and had not yet completed his corrections, actually sent out a brigade and a squadron with great fanfare to occupy this unclaimed land, claiming to the outside world that he wanted to safeguard the Second World War between China and Myanmar.
Highway 1 project advances safety.
**, the nearest hilltop they occupy is 22 kilometers away from the China-Myanmar Highway, and the farthest one is almost to Lashio City, which is 35 kilometers away.
Bao Youxiang almost thought that Zhang Bi and the government troops were joining forces.
It's so subtle that it makes people really laugh.
The most furious ones are probably Abe Aokawa, the president of Sumitomo Copper Co., Ltd., and Masayoshi Son, the president of SoftBank Group.
Masayoshi Son was actually not interested in industry at first. He was mainly interested in high-tech investments in IT and the tertiary industry, and he always had a long-term perspective. He was known as the "Three Hundred Years of SoftBank Empire", but unfortunately, regardless of
No matter how powerful Son is, he has to bow to an organization.
It's not the Japanese government.
But... American Capital Group.
The U.S. government, controlled by American capital groups, is quite skillful and natural in collecting protection fees from shearing sheep from Japan and South Korea.
Although Masayoshi Son is praised in Japan as a genius who emerges only in fifty years and as a shining star after four hundred years of plutocrats, in the past few decades, Son has felt more than once how sad Japan is after being castrated by the United States.
Protection fee, protection fee, protection fee...
No matter how powerful the SoftBank empire is, it cannot compete with the US aircraft carrier fleet-based system.
Therefore, after the transformation from 2001 to 2003, Son carried out the second transformation in 2006.
The inducement for that transformation actually originated from China.
The foundation of the rise of a country is industry. Only a huge industrial power can make a truly powerful country. If finance is all about making money, and software is all about software because of its transcendent status, then the world's great powers should be India and Singapore.
Rather than the United States and the former Soviet Union.
Masayoshi Son can feel that China's national power is undergoing earth-shaking changes, so among the more than 200 investment companies he invested in after 2006, 86 of them were linked to industry. This is somewhat puzzling, but
Only those who understand know.
Son Zhengyi is beginning to prepare to strengthen himself from the source and get rid of the embarrassment of starting from the middle.
As for this "White Water Meeting" meeting, he was very ambitious. If this rare rich mine is operated properly, he will have no worries in the next few decades.
But now, the situation has been disrupted by the Chinese tiger, making Son Zhengyi very angry.
