(Chapter 586 was blocked, and many times he applied for the lifting of the ban were rejected. I didn’t know where to change, so I had to give up. The content introduction is as follows:

Gao Jiu spent 9 million oceans to import and store a large amount of grain from abroad to prepare for the severe drought in the south of Henan. He provided relevant information to Su Lian and Daren and other relevant personnel on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.)

After introducing the relevant matters about the B-24 Liberator Bomber, Xiao Yatong wrote in the telegram: "Dear Ajiu, take good care of yourself, and hope that you will come to the United States and be a driver for me again. Love your eldest lady!"

After reading Xiao Yatong's telegram, Gao Jiu smiled, and Xiao Yatong's voice and smile suddenly appeared in front of him. He was very nostalgic about the experience of being a driver with Xiao Yatong. At that time, life was very simple and warm.

Chongqing, Aviation Commission.

The wife received a telegram from Gao Jiu and said to Ouyang Xue: "Mr. Gao provided the Aviation Commission with 50 latest B-24 Liberator Heavy Bombers, the price is only 70% of the price purchased by the US Air Force. These heavy bombers and related ground maintenance personnel will fly to China with the US Air Force aid team.

This is really great news, you are on behalf of the Aviation Commission and express your gratitude to Mr. Gao on my behalf.”

Ouyang Xue said: "Cousin, my ninth brother said that the US Ministry of Defense now has too much pressure on the orders placed by the B-24 heavy bomber. He will look for opportunities to continue to provide the aviation committee with the price discount for this heavy bomber. In fact, he paid for his personal expenses. Because the American Airlines Comprehensive Volti Company, which produces this heavy bomber, contains his shares, and even the drawings of this bomber are provided by him."

"So that's it! Gao Jiu is really a legendary figure, and his excellence is unimaginable. My cousin, the big guy told me that as long as Mr. Gao returns to Chongqing, I will personally organize the wedding for you."

A red glow flew on Ouyang Xue's face. She was somewhat expectant and worried, saying, "He may not agree with this matter."

The lady said seriously: "No, our family Ruoxue is so outstanding and very compatible with him. He will not refuse. If he dares to refuse, I will not finish it with him."

Speaking of this, the lady couldn't help laughing.

On December 9, the Japanese army invaded Thailand.

On December 18, Gao Jiu had been looking forward to the news. The British Governor to Myanmar invited Gao Jiu and the Kokang Regional Autonomous Committee to go to Yangon for talks and discuss matters related to jointly resisting the Japanese invasion.

On December 20, Gao Jiu and Wang Guisheng, director of the Kokang Regional Autonomous Committee, flew to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, to hold talks with the British Governor to Myanmar. After discussion, the British Governor to Myanmar agreed that Gao Jiu led the Taohuashan Special Forces into the Golden Triangle to resist the attack of the Japanese army from the southeast.

It is also important that the British Governor to Myanmar agree to the permanent autonomy of the Kokang Autonomous Commission. Although the British will soon be beaten away by the Japanese, with the recognition of the British Governor to Myanmar, the future Myanmar government will not be able to entangle in this.

The Kokang Autonomous Region agreed to serve as the strategic rear of Myanmar to provide Myanmar's British army with food and other supplies. When necessary, the British army can retreat into the Kokang area.

On December 21, Gao Jiu flew back to Ruili.

On October 25, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Tian Chuan, Li Chengwu and Zheng Sanpao led 720 Taohuashan Special Forces, 1,200 Self-Defense Forces of the Construction Company, and 200 grassroots cadres in the Golden Triangle area to officially enter the Golden Triangle.

The total area of ​​the "Golden Triangle" is about 150,000 to 200,000 square kilometers, which is quite large, much larger than most European countries. The UK is only 240,000 square kilometers, the Germany is only 260,000 square kilometers, and Japan is only 370,000 square kilometers.

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 world's main drug production area, making the "Golden Triangle" famous all over the world. The scope of the "Golden Triangle" roughly includes Shan State in northern Myanmar, Kachin State, Chiang Rai Province in Thailand, Chiang Mai Prefecture in northern Chiang Mai Prefecture, and Luang Namta Province in Laos, Fengshari, Udomsey Province, and western Luang Prabang Province. There are more than 3,000 villages and towns in total.

Located in the border area of ​​Myanmar, Laos and Thailand in Southeast Asia, the Thai government erected a archway engraved with the word "Golden Triangle" at the junction of the three countries, so this area is called "Golden Triangle".

The "Golden Triangle" has a closed traffic and a strong folk custom. It is a region that does not care about. Official forces from Thailand, Laos and Myanmar cannot survive here.

There are dozens of warlord forces of all sizes in the "Golden Triangle", just like the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period in ancient China, where they fought against each other and the people were living in poverty.

In addition to the fact that Gao Jiu strongly supported the Kokang Autonomous Committee, there is another important reason why this area is dominated by Han people, that is, part of Kokang is in the Jinshanjiao area, and the main part of Kokang is in the Shan State in Myanmar, and the Golden Triangle includes part of Shan State.

Gao Jiu can back to the Kokang area and connect with the inland China through them, thus having a very reliable strategic rear.

When Gao Jiu was considering his future development prospects, if we only consider it from the perspective of economic development, the Golden Triangle region was not a good choice. The transportation here is blocked, the infrastructure is very weak, and the industrial foundation is basically zero, which will seriously restrict economic development.

He once considered that Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, countries with a large number of Chinese people are still the minority of Chinese in these countries. Due to the convenience of maritime delivery and lack of strategic depth, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the face of all forces with strong sea and air forces.

The three countries around the Golden Triangle are relatively weak, so Gao Jiu can easily open up the situation here, and there are good passages between the Kokang region and the inland China. As long as the transportation infrastructure is strengthened, the passages connecting the Golden Triangle region to the outside will be opened.

The Golden Triangle is not far from the Mekong River, so in the future, occupy or rent an estuary, the water road will be opened.

In addition to personal considerations, Gao Jiu chose the Golden Triangle because if he wanted to install a great goal, it was to contribute to the world's elimination of the harm of drugs.

The Golden Triangle has a humid climate, fertile soil and sufficient sunshine, which is very conducive to the growth of poppy. Local drug lords, local warlords, etc. are famous all over the world. The Golden Triangle region is known as the Golden Crescent region on the border between Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, and the Silver Triangle region on the border between Colombia and Venezuela, are known as the world's three major drug sources.

To eradicate drugs, we must have a strong and unified organizational structure in this area, and use iron-fisted means to carry out comprehensive control from all aspects of politics, economy, culture and education.

You must be famous for everything you do. Gao Jiu entered the Golden Triangle, first of all, under the banner of anti-Japanese war, and then to eliminate the harm of drugs.

With the help of the Kokang Regional Setting Committee, Gao Jiu established a logistics supply troop station in the southern part of Kokang, and officially entered the Golden Triangle area on January 18.

Gao Jiu and others first entered the Wenshan area of ​​Shan State, which was a small basin with 52 villages and towns controlled by local warlord Wen Li Kun.

Wen Likun is a local drug lord with more than 300 guns under his command, occupying Mawan Town, the largest town in the local area.

Wen Likun is the local emperor. He is irritable and extremely cruel. He set up a water prison in his home and casually throws those who he doesn't like, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil. The local people hate him to the core.

In Shangshui Village on the banks of the Mawan River, Gao Jiu met the village chief Malainian accompanied by Miao Lun, a student in the Golden Triangle Region’s grassroots cadre training class.

Mara is 53 years old this year, with a clean face, long beard and has a very elderly demeanor. When he was young, he studied in a school run by the British in Manila. After returning to his hometown, he served as the mayor of Mawan Town and enjoyed a high prestige in the local area.

After Wen Likun occupied Mawan Town, Malainian resigned from the position of town mayor and returned to Shangshui Village to serve as village chief.

Mara Nian likes to read, knows English, Chinese and Burmese. When the villagers go out, they will bring him English and Burmese newspapers. There is also a radio at his home and he knows a lot about external things. Some people in this village also go to mainland China to do business, and he has heard about Gao Jiu.

Miaolun is Mara Nian's nephew. When the training class of the trading company was recruiting students, he sought his uncle's opinions. Mara Nian supported him to go out to see the world. After Miaolun participated in the training class, he was impressed by Gao Jiu and wrote a letter to his uncle about what he saw and heard, deepening Mara Nian's understanding of Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu also learned about Mala Nian's situation in advance. He knew that he liked reading and his right leg joint was a little rheumatoid. He specially brought him a high-power radio, some English books, and tiger bone cream for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other drugs.

After seeing Mara Nian, Gao Jiu saluted him as a junior in accordance with local etiquette.

Seeing that Gao Jiu was so respectful to him, Mala Nian felt good about him, and enthusiastically treated Gao Jiu with the etiquette of receiving the VIPs by the locals.

Gao Jiu spent a whole day to gain an in-depth understanding of local politics, economy, customs and peoples, and all aspects.

On January 21, Gao Jiu launched a battle to encircle and annihilate Wen and Li Kun. In order to eliminate all evil and avoid leaving any troubles, Gao Jiu dispatched all the troops of Wang Zhankui and Guo Hengming, as well as the construction company Self-Defense Force led by Tian Chuan. Taking advantage of the night, under the leadership of Miao Lun and other locals, he surrounded Mawan Town in an all-round way.

At two o'clock in the morning, under the command of Wang Zhankui, the troops belonging to Taohua Mountain launched an attack on Mawan Town. After half an hour of fighting, they wiped out the Wen Likun bandit gang and captured Wen Likun alive.

Next, Gao Jiu divided the 200 students from the training class of grassroots cadres into dozens of groups. Under the protection of the self-defense team of the construction company, he formed a grassroots working group and entered all villages and towns in Wenshan area, cleared the grassroots personnel appointed by Wen Li Kun, and completely eliminated his influence.

The grassroots working group sent 30 kilograms of rice, one kilogram of salt and two kilograms of sugar to each household. For the villagers who were sick, they applied to the medical team of the Taohuashan Special Forces to send people to treat them. These measures won the favor of the local people.

With the help of Mara Nian, people from influence in Wenshan area were convened and a symposium was held.

After three days of full discussion and negotiation, a consensus reached:

Under the leadership of the Taohuashan guerrillas, the Wenshan Regional Administrative Committee was established. The committee had a total of 12 members, including Han people and other ethnic groups, each accounting for 50%. The committee director Mala Nian.

On January 30, the establishment meeting of the Wenshan Regional Administrative Committee was held in Mawan Town.

Before the conference began, a public trial meeting was held for Wen Li Kun and his 11 backbone members, and they were executed on the spot.

The people in Wenshan area have been oppressed by the bandits of Wen Likun for a long time. This result is so satisfying that the people applauded. This move deepened the support of the local people for the Taohuashan guerrillas.

After the establishment of the Wenshan Regional Administrative Committee, a series of policies have been announced one after another.

Gao Jiu first implemented democratic elections in 52 villages and towns in Wenshan area.

Accompanied by Mara Nian and others, the village committee elections participated in by all villagers were first carried out as a pilot in Shangshui Village.

There are 872 villagers over 16 years old in Shangshui Village, including 593 villagers over 18 years old, 304 men and 289 women.

Before this election, the original women had no right to vote. Gao Jiu disagreed with the public and announced that women also had the right to vote. This alone won the support of most women.

At the beginning of the election, since most of the people in the village were illiterate, Maranian and others didn't know what to do.

Gao Jiu told them a solution, and everyone thought it was feasible.

The underground party has made many innovations. When conducting democratic elections, they invented a bean election law.

The method is to first elect several candidates by the villagers, and then let the candidates stand with their backs to the villagers, and put a table behind them, and a large bowl on the table. The staff gave each villager who participated in the election a bean. Which candidate the villagers supported should be placed in the bowl behind him. Finally, count the beans in the bowl, whoever has more beans in the bowl will be elected.

When Mara Nian announced this election method, the villagers liked it very much, and everyone voted enthusiastically, and finally elected the village chief, deputy village chief and other members of the village administrative committee.

Then, in accordance with the same method, members of the Shangshui Village Women's Federation were selected.

The reason why Gao Jiu attaches so much importance to improving women's status is that in the Golden Triangle region, most of the men smoke opium, are weak and lazy, and the real labor force is those women.

Women not only have to take care of the elderly, children, serve men, do housework, but also raise livestock, go to the fields to farm, pick poppy for processing. They are very tired and bear most of the responsibilities of the family, but have no social status. Gao Jiu wants to reverse this bad social atmosphere and make up his mind to improve women's social status.

This election in Shangshui Village was a pilot project. Representatives were sent to observe in 52 villages and towns in Wenshan area. After returning, they also held democratic elections smoothly according to the methods of Shangshui Village.

The organizational structure of the Wenshan Regional Administrative Committee was quickly improved.

Gao Jiu controlled the Wenshan area and did not rush to enter other areas of the Golden Triangle. It was very easy to eliminate any warlord force in the Golden Triangle with the military strength controlled by Gao Jiu. However, how to manage the Golden Triangle area well requires exploration.

Gao Jiu plans to stay in Wenshan area for three months and thoroughly find out a set of ways to manage the golden triangle.
