1941.
Southeast Asia.
A modern city cluster rose from the forest.
He looked around.
High-rise buildings were erected.
The spacious roads became the passageways connecting the various urban agglomerations.
In addition, there were also railroads, airfields, docks, ports, and so on.
The entire city cluster was scattered in the jungle, which was incompatible with the entire jungle. It formed a sharp contrast with the nearby cities.
Perhaps no one knew that four years ago, this was the Golden Triangle, the terrifying drug den.
The Golden Triangle was located at the junction of Myanmar, Laos, and Siam in Southeast Asia. Because it was located at the border of the three countries, it was called the Golden Triangle.
The entire Golden Triangle roughly included Shan State, Kachin State in the north of Myanmar, Siam's Qing Rai Province, the northern part of the Qing Mai Province, and the provinces of Luang Namtha, Phongsali, and Udomsay in Laos, as well as the western part of Luang Prabang Province. There were more than 3000 villages and towns of various sizes.
The traffic here was blocked and the mountains were stacked. The undulating mountains with a total area of about 200,000 square kilometers formed a three-dimensional climate. When the people at the foot of the mountain were hot, the people at the top of the mountain might have to surround the fire pit to resist the cold. Relatively speaking, the natural conditions at high altitudes were worse, and people's lives were more difficult.
It was worth mentioning that the average altitude of this area was 1,500 - 3,000 meters above sea level. The land was fertile, and the climate was warm and humid. The prolonged sunshine in the subtropics provided enough sunlight to promote the growth of various plants. The change of the Southeast Asian monsoonal belt formed two dry and wet seasons here. In summer, the southwest monsoons brought a large amount of moist and hot water from the sea, forming the wet season when there was abundant rainfall. In winter, the dry and cold monsoonal belt in the north formed the dry season. This periodic change regulated the rhythm of the local creatures.
The main river in the Golden Triangle was the Mekong River.
The Mekong River was another important geographical reason for the formation of the "Golden Triangle." It flowed straight south from Qing Province in the northwest, passing through six countries, including the Republic of China, Laos, Myanmar, and Siam. The 4009-kilometer river cut off the mountains of Southeast Asia. In addition, there were many deep valleys and rapid tributaries between the mountains, creating countless canyons and cliffs, forming a large traffic dead end.
Due to the above special geographical reasons, the Golden Triangle region had little economic and cultural contact with the outside world. It was difficult for the relevant countries to have deep or effective control over the Golden Triangle region for a long time.
However, the favorable climate conditions for crop production, coupled with the uniqueness and complexity of the terrain, geomorphology, and geographical climate, created an excellent place for the survival and reproduction of many ethnic groups in this area, as well as various independent forces, regional forces, or ethnic armed forces.
It was precisely because of this that this place was very suitable for planting poisonous crops such as poppies. The Golden Triangle naturally became a drug production area.
The complicated geography, the numerous ethnic groups, and the abnormal power created an excellent stage for all kinds of mysterious stories to be played here.
In the 20th century, there were many famous drug lords in the area. For a long time, there had been many anti-government armed forces and other drug armed forces, so it was also known as the " paradise of adventurers." In order to produce and sell drugs, these drug lords organized a group of well-equipped local armed forces to openly compete with the central governments of Myanmar, Siam, and other countries.
The warlords of the Republic of China were in a chaotic war, and the people were in dire straits. Many ordinary people were suffering from the flames of war.
Because the Golden Triangle was close to the Republic of China's Dian Province, many Chinese people flocked to the Golden Triangle.
In just ten or twenty years, the Golden Triangle had developed to a permanent population of more than one million, of which 90% were Chinese. The number was quite terrifying.
With the ability and wisdom of the Chinese, the Chinese had completely established a foothold in the Golden Triangle. They had also developed several major drug lords and warlords to dominate the Golden Triangle.
However, due to the favorable climate and the high profits of the poppies and the drugs, the area had been dominated by the cultivation of the drug for decades. It was the source of the world's poison and the source of the drug, and the warlords of the Golden Triangle were also fighting for territory.
It could be said that the Golden Triangle was very chaotic.
The commoners here did not live well either.
However, four years ago, in 1937, a man named Su Ji appeared…
[PS: Does anyone know which country Siam is?] Hahaha.
