Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 406 The New Opium War

The main currency that is popular in the "Golden Triangle" is not the banknotes of any country, but gold and grain. Unless it is the transaction of those big drug lords, the currency of a certain country will be used.

Qin Haoran wanted to win over the five hundred strong soldiers, so he decided to use gold.In fact, Qin Haoran doesn't need to do much to pull them to his side, because the military has already done ideological work for these people. As long as Qin Haoran himself does not do anything that endangers China's interests, these soldiers will They will all be loyal to Qin Haoran.

In today's China, the leftist trend of thought is still relatively strong, especially when Taizu is still in power, his great achievements have made most of the soldiers in the army worship him, and it also makes the soldiers very obedient to the orders of their superiors.Now, since their superiors ordered them to obey Qin Haoran, they would obey unconditionally.

According to this kind of thinking, they should not accept Qin Haoran's gold, because the Chinese people are still proud of socialism and ashamed of capitalism and hedonism.To put it bluntly, under the deliberate influence of Taizu and the central government, most people today are proud of being poor and ashamed of being rich.The children who study in school are the children of the poor and lower-middle peasants who are the most proud, while the children of the richer families are the most excluded, which is completely opposite to the situation in the future.

Because of this, if Qin Haoran was still in the country, it would definitely be counterproductive for Qin Haoran to use gold to win over these soldiers.But now, these soldiers have been told that they will no longer belong to the Chinese military, but will always follow Qin Haoran.This means that Qin Haoran will be their reliance in future life.

In addition, Qin Haoran also learned from He Nanxu that these [-] soldiers are all orphans and widows who have no relatives in the country, and they can be regarded as having nothing to do with Qin Haoran. This is also specially selected by the military. It is also the sincerity shown by the military to Qin Haoran.

Because if they still have relatives in the country, they will inevitably have concerns, which will also make Qin Haoran fear that the country will recall all these 500 people back when necessary.

All in all, the concept of these five hundred soldiers has changed slightly, not to say that they have changed from a pious believer in socialism to a person who enjoys pleasure, but that the object of allegiance and obedience has changed from the military to the military. Qin Haoran.In their view, to obey Qin Haoran is to obey the country, and it is also in line with the principles of soldiers.

Since it was something given to them by the chief Qin Haoran, they had no reason to refuse it.

It was precisely because of this that Qin Haoran decided to give them gold. Qin Haoran needed to change them so that they would obey his orders in the future, although it would take a long time.However, today they are willing to accept the gold, which is a good start.

"Mr. Qin, this..." Fang Jintang held the yellow-orange gold in his hand, and looked at Qin Haoran in surprise.

Qin Haoran smiled at him and said: "Now you know the situation of the country, they don't have enough funds to support us to carry out missions abroad, so we have to raise the expenses for this operation, including everyone's salaries, The state is no longer responsible. And I have already prepared these funds, and this gold is my first salary for everyone, so please don’t be polite.”

What he said was to tell Fang Jintang and the others that he, Qin Haoran, would be the one to pay them in the future.

When Fang Jintang heard Qin Haoran's words, he felt a burst of emotion in his heart.Before serving as a soldier in the country, apart from taking care of food, he only had a symbolic salary every month, which is far from Qin Haoran's one piece of gold.But Fang Jintang also knew that he was going to work with Qin Haoran in the future, because including himself, these 500 people were already retired soldiers in the national military files, so they couldn't turn back.

From then on, Qin Haoran was their leader.

Thinking of this, Fang Jintang nodded, and said to Qin Haoran: "Then, on behalf of everyone, I would like to thank you, Mr. Qin."

After finishing speaking, he carefully put the gold back into the bag, and put the bag into his trouser pocket.Seeing that Fang Jintang also accepted it, the others shouted to Qin Haoran in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Haoran smiled and said: "Everyone is camping here tonight, I want to discuss the next plan first." Then he said to Fang Jintang and the five company commanders: "Come with me, let's discuss, As for the people here, let the deputy company commander command first."

The six of Fang Jintang nodded, and followed Qin Haoran back to Xika's farmhouse in Goutou Village.

Since Fang Jintang and the others were all dressed in the costumes of the Golden Triangle area, their arrival did not attract the attention of other villagers.

After arriving at Xika's farmhouse, Fang Jintang immediately saluted Qin Haoran, and then said: "Mr. Qin, according to the order of the superior, you will be the commander of our 'South Camp' from now on, and each of us will be directly subordinate to you." jurisdiction."

Qin Haoran smiled and said: "I see, after entering the hall, you don't need to be so cautious in front of me from now on. Alright, let's talk about the situation of 'Nanying' first."

Fang Jintang shook his head slightly, and then said: "The establishment of our 'Southern Battalion', plus one battalion commander and five company commanders, has a total of 500 people. These [-] people are all selected by the Military Commission from various military regions. Elite soldiers with rich experience and excellent skills. We came to the "Golden Triangle" this time, but the personnel came, and the corresponding weapons and equipment could not be delivered until later. However, for safety reasons, each of us is equipped with a pistol and a magazine. There are eleven bullets in total."

Qin Haoran nodded. He knew that the personnel who came to the Golden Triangle from China could arrive in batches, so that the forces here would not be aware of it, and those weapons and equipment had to be cautious. That's why the Chinese military put personnel and equipment in this way. Ship separately.

"Jintang, the 500 of you have already retired from the military according to the records of the domestic military commission. Do you know this?" Qin Haoran asked.

Fang Jintang nodded immediately, and a trace of sadness flashed across his expression: "We all know that the political commissar has already told us. Our records in the Military Commission's files are all retired personnel, so we will not be able to go back to the army in the future. Moreover, the political commissar and We said we might not be able to return home either."

"Did you do it voluntarily?" Qin Haoran asked.

Fang Jintang nodded slowly: "That's right, because I know that the country needs us, and we are soldiers. As long as the country needs it, we must contribute our strength to the country! This is our bounden duty!"

The five company commanders in the back also looked determined, obviously holding the same attitude as Fang Jintang.

Hearing Fang Jintang's resonant words, Qin Haoran was also very moved.Qin Haoran has always felt that Chinese soldiers are the strongest and most loyal soldiers in the world.Fang Jintang and the others knew that they would leave the army and even leave their hometowns, but they were still so determined to dedicate themselves to the country, which made Qin Haoran very admired.

I only heard Qin Haoran say: "Jintang, in fact, even if you leave the motherland, you can still contribute to the motherland. Because what I am doing now is something that is beneficial to the motherland. If we succeed, it will be good for the motherland. The benefits will be enormous, and it is for this reason that the country will arrange for you to follow me."

For Qin Haoran's words, Fang Jintang took it very seriously. It is not easy for the country to train its own [-] strong soldiers, but the country is willing to give them all to Qin Haoran's command. This shows what Qin Haoran has done. It is indeed beneficial to the country.

Seeing that Fang Jintang and the five company commanders deeply agreed with his words, Qin Haoran said again: "Besides, after this matter is successful, most of you may stay here for a long time. I would like to ask you now, you Would you like to?"

"Yes!" The six people in Fang Jintang said in unison.

Qin Haoran nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Let's fix it here in the past two days, and wait until the weapons and equipment are delivered. By the way, do you all understand the mission this time?"

The six people in Fang Jintang shook their heads. The order they got was to obey Qin Haoran. As long as Qin Haoran did not do anything harmful to the country, they had to obey any order of Qin Haoran unconditionally.

Qin Haoran took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "This time we have two goals, the first is to find a stable source of goods, and the second is to find out the culprit who smuggled drugs into our country, if the situation allows If so, kill this guy."

Fang Jintang and others can easily understand Qin Haoran's second goal.But the first one, Fang Jintang didn't understand, he frowned and asked: "Mr. Qin, what source of goods are you talking about?"

"It's opium." Qin Haoran answered straight to the point.

Fang Jintang and the other six people were all taken aback when they heard the words. They didn't expect that the source of goods Qin Haoran was looking for was opium, so what did Qin Haoran want to do?
Seeing their reaction, Qin Haoran smiled and said, "Don't be so surprised. I want to find a stable source of goods, not to sell them to China, but to sell them to the United States."

Only then did Fang Jintang and the others breathe a sigh of relief, and then Qin Haoran said: "I have made some preparations in the United States. As long as there is enough and stable supply, I will be able to enter the American drug market in a very short period of time. Hmph Hehehe In this way, we can not only earn money from the American devils, but also launch an 'Opium War' against them."

Hearing that Qin Haoran said that he would launch an "Opium War" against the Americans, the eyes of Fang Jintang and others lit up.In their view, as long as Qin Haoran is not selling drugs to the country or harming his compatriots, they will not stop him, not to mention that Qin Haoran is going to harm the Americans.

No matter from which point of view, this is something that is beneficial and harmless to China.
