Northern Myanmar: Bloodshed in the Golden Triangle, Have I Become a General? - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Zhao Hu’s Dark Past and Zhao Ning’s Advantage!

Since Zhao Renzhou had said so,

Zhao Bao had no objections:

“Okay, no problem.”

“I’ll contact the people in Mexico later.”

Although less money was made from the original materials,

The New Kingdom had eighteen towns.

Zhao Renzhou did this.

He first merged Xiong Wang’s territory.

In these two days, Zhao Hu led his people.

Planting flags everywhere.

The original Xiong Wang’s territory.

Has been mostly taken over.

And over at Suo and their side,

They are currently in the midst of internal strife.

The main reason is when Suo died,

He brought a large group of elites with him.

They were all wiped out.

The remaining subordinates, those of the third or fourth tier,

Who would be loyal? Everyone wants to be the boss.

On that very night, they began to vie for power and profit.

It wasn’t until they heard that Zhao Renzhou’s people had occupied Xiong Wang’s territory,

That things finally quieted down.

Actively preparing for battle.

Afraid that Zhao Renzhou would come to attack.

Meanwhile, Zhao Renzhou, was waiting for Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning, the siblings, to return.

The reason why he hasn’t cleaned up that side yet is because he’s short on manpower.

The original organization members followed Chen Jinlong and died in a wave.

Afterward, another group went to attack Xiong Wang’s side.

Although they’ve also recruited people over there,

The core group still needs to be their own.

They have been sending equipment and dispatching personnel gradually.

So right now, Zhao Renzhou can’t spare any forces.

He just needs to wait for Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning to come back with the goods.

When they left, they also took some people with them.

Although not many, just over ten.

But they’re considered the core.

Each person can command seven or eight others, which is decent.

Their combat strength has increased instantly.

Combined with the hundreds of AKs they have on hand, as well as those light machine guns and mortars,

Attacking Suo and their base is more than manageable.

As a result, after occupying three towns,

Although they’re making less money from selling raw materials,

Those are the total output of three towns.

It has tripled.

Overall, they’re still making a profit.

Zhao Renzhou nodded:

“Let’s go with this for now.”

“Let’s take it slow with the rest.”

“After we’ve recruited everyone, we can proceed with further planning.”

“Oh, by the way.”

“What’s the average wage in Northern Myanmar?”

Zhao Bao thought for a moment:

“It’s not much.”

“The few maids at Chen Jinlong’s villa.”

“20,000 Burmese kyats per month should suffice.”

“That’s considered high.”

“It’s about 700 Dragon Nation coins when converted.”

Zhao Renzhou was somewhat surprised:

“So little?”

Zhao Renzhou thought for a moment:

“Here’s the deal.”

“We’ll organise the recruitment of combat personnel.”

“Offer them 150,000 Burmese kyats per month (about 500 Dragon Nation coins).”

“For each mission, reward them based on the mission’s circumstances.”

“The maximum reward will be 150,000 Burmese kyats.”

“For those who die on a mission.”

“Provide their families with 1.5 million Burmese kyats (about 5,000 Dragon Nation coins).”

Is it too harsh?

That’s really tough.

A human life is only worth 5,000.

It’s not even as valuable as an AKM rifle.

But in Northern Myanmar, Zhao Renzhou is truly a fair employer.

With the government’s decline,

The most direct consequence is that human lives become cheap.

Many armed factions or major drug lords,

Apart from a few core members most of the grassroots are controlled by force, and if they die, they die.

They just grab a bunch to fill in.

It’s not like this…

Zhao Renzhou continued:

“Establish strict rules and regulations.”

“Manage the entire organization in a military manner.”

“In the future, recruit a group of retired special forces from Free Nation, Maoguo, and Dragon Nation.”

“Train the members in three tiers.”

“By then, you, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Zhan will each oversee one.”

“Otherwise, it’ll be too loose.”

“Dominating this border is no problem.”

“But when facing regular armies,”

“They won’t be up to the task for sure.”

Previously, he had noticed that these people below,

Were solely relying on their fierceness in battle

.

They had no tactics, plans, nothing.

Fortunately, Xiong Wang’s equipment was subpar.

They relied on better equipment to prevail.

If it weren’t for those RPGs,

They wouldn’t have been able to take Yabeizhen, indeed.

Not to mention that in the future, they’re destined to confront the three countries’ governments.

Without organizational cohesion,

They’re bound to fall apart at the first touch.

So Zhao Renzhou plans to implement strict military management from the outset.

A warlord with his own military factories,

Versus drug lords who rely on selling rock sugar.

Can they be compared?

How many divisions of rock sugar sellers are there?

Zhao Renzhou stretched his neck a bit:

“This matter isn’t urgent.”

“Let’s register the company first.”

“As for the militarization restructuring,”

“Wait until Ah Zhan and Ah Ning come back.”

“Once we’ve recruited another batch of mercenaries, we’ll discuss it together.”

“This isn’t something one or two people can accomplish.”

“Two heads are better than one.”

Zhao Bao nodded:

“Yes, Big Brother.”

Zhao Renzhou gave a faint “Hmm”:

“Alright, you can go ahead.”

Then, Zhao Bao went to register the company.

In the future,

It would be an armed group capable of influencing national conflicts.

In a small town in Northern Myanmar,

Something was being born.

Meanwhile,

In the Indian Ocean,

On the open sea,

An old and somewhat decrepit ship sailed on the water.

In the largest room on board,

Over a dozen people gathered, playing cards.

Cigarette butts were scattered all around.

Little did this group know that their good days were about to come to an end…

Once they returned, they would face militarized management…

Among them, a man with a square face and a sturdy build,

Relatively young, with an air of righteousness about him,

Seemed a bit tired as he stood up and made way.

He moved out of the room.

On the ship’s second deck,

A slightly more dignified man walked up.

He approached a sister who was gazing out at the sea.

The man’s sister.

Short-haired and somewhat fierce-looking,

She wore a camo T-shirt and denim shorts.

On her long, slender legs, there were two leg holsters,

Each strapped to one thigh,

With several daggers secured in them.

At a glance, she seemed quite formidable.

The slightly more dignified man lit a cigarette and asked, “What’s bothering you these past few days? Big Brother’s side is fine, right? He called yesterday.”

The short-haired beauty furrowed her brows and replied, “Big Brother is fine, but that woman didn’t die, did she? And I asked Zhao Bao, and he said Big Brother has been sleeping there for several days…”

In her words,

A distinct hint of jealousy could be felt.

Who would have thought that their home was invaded by Chi Yunmeng?

Before, these two didn’t even have any contact!

How could things change so quickly?!

She hadn’t even had a chance to react!

The slightly more upright man’s mouth twitched.

It seemed there was nothing he could do.

With Chi Yunmeng’s appearance,

How many men could resist her charms?

But he couldn’t say that to his sister.

He couldn’t dampen her enthusiasm…

The siblings in question were Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning, who had been sent out by Zhao Renzhou to deliver goods.

Unlike the ferocity of Zhao Hu or the coldness of Zhao Bao, they were different.The siblings both had upright and heroic faces.

At the beginning, because of this, they were often bullied by Zhao Hu.

But Zhao Zhan, despite his upright appearance, was quite ruthless.

As they gradually grew up, their bouts with Zhao Hu became more evenly matched.

Zhao Hu didn’t gain any advantages.

Until one day, nobody knows when exactly,

Zhao Ning developed feelings for Zhao Renzhou.

Zhao Hu became obedient then.

After all…

Who knows if she might actually become the big sister-in-law…

Even though they were all from the same village and shared the same surname Zhao,

If you trace back eight generations,

The ancestors of these people in their hometown,

Had all received great kindness from a certain Zhao surnamed benefactor.

They all changed their surnames to Zhao in gratitude.

There was no actual blood relation between them.

If Zhao Ning suddenly became the big sister-in-law,

Zhao Hu would be in an awkward position.

So he decided to be obedient right away.

He used to call Zhao Zhan “brother” and act like a brother,

But when he saw Zhao Ning with a troubled expression,

Zhao Zhan said, “Don’t think too much about it. We’ll be there tomorrow.”

“Let’s talk about it when we see Big Brother again,” Zhao Zhan said. “Big Brother and Chi Yunmeng… it’s just a fling. You still have the upper hand…”

Looking at his sister, Zhao Zhan couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander.

In terms of age,

He’s younger than Chi Yunmeng.

In terms of appearance,

He’s younger than Chi Yunmeng.

In terms of physique.

He’s younger than Chi Yunmeng.

In terms of assets..

Alright.

He’s younger than Chi Yunmeng.

That’s the advantage, after all!
