"Hey, old buddy, long time no see, how are you?" As soon as they met, Nicholas gave Yang Jing a big hug. His intimacy made Austin and other bodyguards a little dumbfounded.
Austin and his men didn't know that their boss and the dark and thin guy in front of them had a close relationship. Although the two hadn't seen each other for two years, they were "comrades-in-arms" who had fought against the Myanmar government army together. Strictly speaking, they had a "life-long friendship" between them.
Yang Jing patted Nicholas Ballmer's junior hard. He felt that although this guy looked thin, his muscles were still very strong. He 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, but you are still the same. How are you? How are you doing in Myanmar?"
Hearing this, Ballmer was stunned for a moment, then he smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go back and talk about it. It's not convenient to talk here."
Yang Jing nodded, waved to Austin and the others, and they walked out of the terminal. Outside the terminal, Lao Na was waiting with three cars.
Yang Jing and Nicholas got into a car, and Austin immediately sat in the passenger seat. Then the three cars immediately drove out of the airport and headed towards Yanjing.
Although the airport expressway had not yet been built at that time and the only way to get there was National Highway 101, the number of vehicles in Yanjing was far less than that of thirty years later, so the speed was not slow.
"Nick, if you have anything to say, just say it now. I see you have a lot on your mind right now."
Nicholas pouted and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yeah, I don't know what the King of Kokang in the south is thinking. He actually has an attitude of compromising with the government army. As a result, I don't know what to do over there."
Hearing Nicholas' words, Yang Jing couldn't help but secretly sigh at the power of historical inertia. Although his intervention had allowed the King of Kokang to rise two years earlier and the current situation in Kachin State was much better than in his previous life, the King of Kokang was still the King of Kokang. In order to ban drugs, he would rather give up the current good situation and negotiate with the government army. This alone was enough to be respected.
However, if we really follow the trajectory of historical development, the time when the King of Kokang actually holds peace talks with the government forces should be next year. However, since the King of Kokang is willing to negotiate with the government forces, he must make a gesture now.
In the past two years, the Kokang King has led the Kachin Army to severely defeat the government army. The strength that the Kokang King needs to show has been demonstrated. So the Kokang King who has hit the government army with a stick will inevitably give the government army another sweet date. This kind of fighting and pulling is the best way to ensure the special status of Kachin State.
The most important thing is that Yang Jing knows that the Kokang King is really serious about banning drugs. In the original time and space, when the Kokang King was in power, Kachin State had the best drug control situation in the entire Golden Triangle region.
Nicholas is an arms dealer. The best conditions for their survival are during the period of war between the two sides. But now both sides are going to have peace talks, and the first ones to lose their living space are arms dealers like them.
Nicholas is a rather tragic character. He had been a middle-level manager in Lockheed Corporation, but due to some accidents, he was assassinated three times and ended up not being able to return to the United States.
However, this guy is a tenacious person. Under such difficult circumstances, he was able to open up the situation in the Middle East and eventually became a well-known arms dealer in the Middle East.
However, a few years ago, Mike Aller contacted him and asked him to provide arms to the King of Kokang. Later, Yang Jing went directly to Myanmar and took a car from Mandalay to Myitkyina with the arms dealer. Although Nicholas did not follow Yang Jing to the Hpakant mining area, when Yang Jing was attacked by government forces that night, the arms dealer based in Myitkyina directly provided two Gazelle armed helicopters to help Yang Jing and the mine owners defeat the government forces.
With this friendship, Yang Jing successfully entered Kachin State and gained another mining site in the Damakhan Mining Area through that sudden battle. In this way, Yang Jing now owned two mining sites in the Damakhan Mining Area. Moreover, because of the arms sales, the King of Kokang also agreed to pay US$2 million per year as protection fee to ensure that Yang Jing's transport vehicles could move smoothly in northern Myanmar.
However, Yang Jing also knew that the King of Kokang was really ruthless. In order to prevent him from becoming too powerful, Yang Jing also specifically told Nicholas to use arms to hang the King of Kokang. Nicholas has done well in the past two years, but the King of Kokang wants to negotiate with the government army, which is not something Yang Jing and Nicholas can control.
Although the King of Kokang did not unilaterally tear up the verbal agreement with Yang Jing, he is now ready to negotiate with the government army, which has actually caused the actual tearing up of the agreement. Now the jade ore shipped from Damakan to Ruili has decreased a lot. 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 and transport jade ore from the mining area to Huaxia.
But Yang Jing and Nicholas couldn't do anything about this courageous king. They couldn't just kill him, could they? This guy was a real tyrant. As long as it was beneficial to him, let alone a verbal agreement, even if there was a real contract, what would it matter?
As the saying goes, a tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame will be invincible. Forget about the face of this Kokang King, he is a man who doesn't care about his head. It's a joke to expect him to have face.
