Chapter 419 Mandalay (1)
Myanmar News: [On August 21, General Lai Min met with Jiang Ningyue, Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in Mandalay. Jiang Ningyue presented the General with his consular appointment letter. The two sides then held cordial talks on the new landscape of China-Myanmar relations and exchanged views on the construction of the China-Myanmar Railway and Kyaukpyu Port. Regarding the issue of "electronic fraud parks," which China is closely concerned about, the General stated that Myanmar firmly opposes illegal electronic fraud parks in the country and that all foreign investment must strictly abide by domestic laws and regulations.]
After this news was released, it immediately attracted attention from many parties.
The focus in China is on how Jiang Ningyue ended up in Myanmar.
At this moment, Myanmar's electronic fraud park is in an uproar. After Jiang Ningyue arrived in Myanmar, will there be any new developments in this matter?
When news about online fraud first began to appear, there was a strange atmosphere on the Chinese Internet.
That means you will be knocked unconscious when you land in Siam, and when you wake up you will find yourself in the cyber fraud park.
There are also outrageous rumors that the plane stopped in Siam and someone was knocked unconscious at the airport.
But in fact, 99% of the people who go to the cyber fraud park go there on their own initiative, or even go there secretly by smuggling.
They knew they were going to cheat people and commit fraud.
But what I didn't expect was that I was also a "piglet".
I originally wanted to sit at the table and eat the food, but I didn't expect that I would be the one being eaten.
By the time you regret, it's too late.
In Wolong Villa in the Kokang electronic fraud park, a group of electronic fraudsters are gathered together chatting.
"I saw the news today and heard that Jiang Ningyue came to Mandalay and became Consul General. Do you think there's any chance we can be rescued?"
The fraudster nearby sneered, "Why go back to China? You'll go to jail anyway."
"That's better than getting beaten here!"
"Only those who endure the most hardships can achieve success! As long as my orders are big enough, I will definitely be able to gain my freedom and return home in glory!"
Just as everyone was discussing this, a man in the corner heard the news and a glimmer of light appeared in his originally dull eyes.
His name is Duan Yuhang, and he's one of the few people who isn't here to commit fraud. His girlfriend came to Kokang to work and then disappeared. He ended up in the park looking for her.
Then, there was no way out.
As for the girlfriend, some people say that person is dead.
Some people said that he was not dead, but was sold to another park.
Duan Yuhang didn't believe that she would die, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
The people from the four major families in Kokang naturally also received this news, but they were dismissive of it.
If the Myanmar military really had that strength, it would have eliminated domestic opposition forces long ago. Would it still need to brag on TV?
As for why the four major families in Kokang are so confident, in addition to the fact that they have certain military strength, another point is that the residents of Kokang are actually not opposed to these four major families.
Kokang's Old Street is full of tall buildings and vibrant lights, with a population of over 100,000 and 20,000 cars. The locals have a fairly good standard of living. While not comparable to Yangon, it's still considered upper-middle class in Myanmar.
What does this represent?
Simply put, most of the residents of Kokang are also vested interests, and the "industrial chain" of the e-fraud park has enriched the entire Kokang.
At the same time, Lai Min is now surrounded by enemies, so he will not take action against Kokang, who is nominally his own.
On August 22, Jiang Ningyue paid a visit to the Governor of Mandalay Province.
On August 25, Jiang Ningyue attended a welcome reception held by overseas Chinese in Mandalay to celebrate the appointment of Consul General Jiang Ningyue.
Many people have relaxed their vigilance after seeing these news reports.
Just talk.
However, an uninvited guest appeared at the reception. To call him an uninvited guest would be an exaggeration, but he was certainly not from overseas Chinese, nor from Mandera Province. He was a "Pashan" from the neighboring Northern Shan Army.
Pashan is 45 years old, about 1.9 meters tall, with a strong build, dark skin, and a thick cigar in his hand.
From a distance, it looks like a brown bear wearing a suit.
Tang Lu, Zhou Yan and others became alert when they saw him, and their hands involuntarily reached for their pistols.
To be honest, this guy doesn't seem like a good person.
"Consul General, I have long heard of your name."
Pashan looked at Jiang Ningyue with a smile, "We in Northern Shan very much hope to deepen cooperation with China, and we also very much hope that the China-Myanmar Railway can be completed as soon as possible."
Jiang Ningyue fanned herself and said, "The cigar is too pungent."
"Oh, sorry."
Pashan still smiled as he put out his cigar.
"We also hope to deepen cooperation."
Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "However, the cyber fraud situation in Kokang, Northern Shan, is far too serious. As far as I know, there are at least tens of thousands of Chinese cyber fraudsters gathered here, posing a serious threat to the lives and property of our people. Some time ago, I held talks with your country's General Lai Min, who expressed his approval and support for the crackdown on the cyber fraud park."
Pashan pursed his lips and nodded. "I support it, but unfortunately, we have the will but not the means."
"Mr. Pashan."
Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "We have received news that the allied forces are preparing to launch an attack on Kokang. After taking Kokang, they will attack Northern Shan."
"Don't worry, those guys come down every now and then to rob. They're just like monkeys in the mountains, they come down every once in a while to steal things and then hide back up there."
Pashan smiled, seemingly not taking it seriously, but upon seeing Jiang Ningyue's serious expression, he immediately put away his smile. "Consul General, what on earth is going on? Have you received any concrete information?"
"Literally."
Jiang Ningyue said, "The 'three brothers' alliance of the MNDAA, the Ta'ang National Army, and the Arakan Army is preparing to attack Kokang and Northern Shan State under the pretext of 'fighting telecom fraud.' The remaining thirteen anti-government armed forces will either remain neutral and wait and see, or seize the opportunity to attack. At that point, Myanmar will ignite war once again."
Although the allied forces claim to be "Han" and "pro-China", Jiang Ningyue cannot legally interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
No matter what, Pashan is an autonomous state force and belongs to the government army both legally and nominally.
The most important thing is that the Allied Forces can be pro-China, and Pashan can also be pro-China!
The chaotic situation in northern Myanmar would seriously slow down Dongda's China-Myanmar railway project. Choosing the larger Pashan is always better than those smaller forces.
Therefore, Jiang Ningyue would not give the initiative to these people.
After all, Pashan is a candidate for the "connection card", at least he is a little more trustworthy than those guys.
