When Tunqin and other security guards rushed to the warehouse area, there were already more than 500 security guards in the entire warehouse area. All of these security guards came from the surrounding areas.

The bosses of the six venues, including Yang Jing, all rushed over.

In fact, at this time, intensive gunfire had been heard in the distance. Judging from the sound, it should be the location of another accommodation area located at the foot of the mountain, downstream of the Wulu River.

"What's going on? How come we didn't discover it until we were at our doorstep?" A fat man with tattered clothes, a big belly, and breathing heavily shouted at the security guards in front of him. It was obvious that this pampered venue owner was very dissatisfied with the fact that the enemy had sneaked up on his doorstep without making any noise.

Wu Qinmao whispered the translation into Yang Jing's ear.

The other few people who were obviously the mine owners were also anxiously asking their subordinates.

Yang Jing clapped his hands, attracted the attention of the mine owners, and then said in English: "Let's not worry about these things now, let's think about how to beat these guys back first? According to my analysis, this should be a premeditated attack. Perhaps the government army is not making good progress in Maohan and Bhamo, so they plan to change the direction of attack. Unfortunately, we are now on the route of the government army's attack."

"Government troops?" asked the fat mine owner with a bad look on his face.

Another tall mine owner nodded and said, "What this foreign friend said should be correct. Apart from the government forces in the south, I really can't think of anyone else who has the ability to launch such a large-scale attack at this time. Khun Sa's forces are not in that direction."

At present, the largest warlord forces in Myanmar are Peng Jiasheng, the Kokang King of Kachin State, and Khun Sa, the drug lord in Shan State in the east. Although Khun Sa does not get along well with Peng Jiasheng, under the pressure of government forces, it is impossible for Khun Sa to turn against Peng Jiasheng at this time.

The status of the fat mine owner is obviously very high. Except for Yang Jing, the other four mine owners all subtly revolve around him.

The fat man hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we send a representative to talk to those people? We can guarantee that the government troops can pass through the Damukan mining area smoothly, but they can't attack us. If you agree, I think those greedy guys can agree."

Wu Qinmao whispered in Yang Jing's ear: "This fat man is called Wu Deqin. He is the most powerful mine owner in the jade mining area in northern Myanmar. He has mines in Laopakan, Huika and Houjiang mining areas. He came to the Mukan mining area some time ago and has lived here for a while. It is said that Wu Deqin has a deep relationship with the Burmese government in the south, so it makes sense for him to say that."

Yang Jing thought for a while, shook his head slowly and said loudly: "Guys, I think we should not put all our hopes on the government army, but should be prepared for both situations. Mr. Deqin can send representatives to negotiate with the government army, but we should be more fully prepared in case the government army turns its back on us. After all, we are now mining on the territory of the King of Kokang, and we have been mining for quite some time. Who knows how the government army will view us?"

The other mine owners nodded slightly when they heard this, and even the fat man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Well, I'll send a representative over now to take a look, and we'll continue to make preparations."

Yang Jing pulled out a huge satellite phone from his bag and made a call in front of all the mine owners. Soon, Nicholas Ballmer's sleepy voice came through the phone.

"Nick, I'm in the Damukan mining area now. We were attacked by government forces just now. We need support here! You'd better transfer those two big guys to me from the nearest place! Don't tell me you are not prepared in Imphal, India!"

Yang Jing did not say anything polite to Nicholas, and asked for heavy firepower support. When Mandela met Nicholas, Nicholas told Yang Jing clearly that the second batch of arms to support Kokang King Peng Jiasheng were all transported from the Indian city of Imphal on the India-Myanmar border.

The AK47s that Nicholas provided to U Khin Maung last year were shipped from Chittagong, the second largest city in Bangladesh, to Mandalay. The straight-line distance from Chittagong to Mandalay is only more than 400 kilometers, much closer than the nearly 600 kilometers to northern Myanmar.

However, when Yang Jing asked for the second batch of arms, Nicholas immediately realized that this new big money sponsor was going to openly support the Kachin Army in northern Myanmar, so Nicholas used Imphal, which was closer to northern Myanmar, as an arms transit station.

His arms smuggling ship docked in Chittagong, and then used helicopters to cross the India-Bangladesh border at night and transport the arms directly to Imphal, 350 kilometers away. After all, the straight-line distance from Imphal to Myitkyina is only 350 kilometers.

The most important thing is that, given the range of Nicholas's helicopter, if the distance is too far, the two Mi-24 Hind armed helicopters he just got from the Soviets in Afghanistan will not be able to fly to Myitkyina at all. The distance from Imphal to Myitkyina is just enough for the helicopter to carry the munitions to Myitkyina in one go.

Especially after Yang Jing met with Nicholas in Mandalay, he clearly told Nicholas that he would send weapons to northern Myanmar in the future. So Nicholas asked his men to transport a batch of arms to Imphal before leaving Myitkyina...

The straight-line distance from Imphal to the Damukan mining area is only 230 kilometers. Yang Jing remembered Nicholas's layout in Imphal, so he directly asked the arms dealer for help.
