Devil Fruit of the City

Night, as deep as water.

Pingshi at night looked exceptionally quiet. In the bedroom of Villa No. 2 in Zhao's mansion, under the white light, the figure who had been sitting in front of the bed suddenly closed the book, and then stretched out. He grabbed the boiling water on the desk in front of him and took a sip.

"The food at the banquet tonight is not bad, and I'm quite full."

After taking a sip of water and touching his swollen stomach, Tang Tianyou still had a smile on his face.

Mr. Zhao's 70th birthday banquet tonight has been going smoothly, without too many accidents, a harmonious and lively atmosphere, and there is not much to say. During the entire banquet, Tang Tianyou was accompanied by Zhao Feng, and Zhao Manni And Yan Liya sat in the corner of the birthday banquet and had a meal.  Urban Devil Fruit 295

Perhaps because of Zhao Chongping's instructions, during the birthday banquet, Zhao Feng showed great hospitality, treated Tang Tianyou very comfortably, and introduced many friends to him. It's a pity that he didn't have much interest in these things, so he just nodded , Shake hands, the meaning is over.

"However, Brother Zhao's birthday banquet has also passed, and there is nothing else to do here, and it's time to leave tomorrow." Tang Tianyou murmured while looking at the scenery outside the window.

The next moment, Tang Tianyou turned off the light and fell into a deep sleep.

……………

At noon the next day, in the dining room of Villa No. 2.

"Brother Tianyou, do you really want to leave?" Zhao Feng looked at Tang Tianyou anxiously, and tried his best to dissuade him, "Can you stay here for a few more days? The old man told me to take good care of you last night. If you are leaving suddenly now, wouldn't the old man think that I didn't take good care of you and drive you away?"

"Brother Zhao, you don't have to worry." Tang Tianyou smiled slightly, "I will talk to Mr. Zhao personally, I believe he can understand."

"Hey, brother Tianyou, since you've made up your mind to go, then I won't say any more." Zhao Feng sighed, after these few days of contact, he knew that Tang Tianyou was a person with an extremely strong mind. Once such a person has made up his mind, even ten cows cannot pull him back.

"Brother Zhao, thank you for your understanding." Tang Tianyou said with a smile, "It's not that I don't want to stay here longer, but I really can't wait. I want to visit the place where you found the obsidian."

"It's not a problem to go to that place. Now the military's martial law on the border has been relaxed a lot, but..." Zhao Feng hesitated to speak, "There is one thing, I have to tell you first."

"What's the matter?" Tang Tianyou looked at Zhao Feng.

"That's right, the place you're going to now may be a bit dangerous." Zhao Feng explained.

"Danger?"

"Yes, it's dangerous!" Zhao Feng's face became a little serious, "I'm afraid you also know that although this is Ping City, it is still a peaceful and safe city, but just a little further away is the famous Golden Triangle area all over the world. !"

After listening, Tang Tianyou nodded, of course he knew about the Golden Triangle area.

"Golden Triangle" refers to a triangular area located in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia. Because this area has long been rich in drugs such as opium and is the main drug producing area in the world, the "Golden Triangle" is famous all over the world!

The traffic here is blocked and the mountains are overlapping, with a total area of ​​about 150,000 to 200,000 square kilometers. The undulating mountains form a three-dimensional climate. People at the foot of the mountain are extremely hot. At that time, people at the top of the mountain may have to gather around the firepit to resist the cold. Relatively speaking, the natural conditions in high-altitude areas are relatively poor, and people's lives are more difficult. difficulty.

It is also because of the harsh living conditions here that the Golden Triangle is rich in opium poppies, so that the people can survive, and through local warlords, drug lords, etc. to manufacture opium, heroin and other drugs, and sell them to the world.

The Golden Triangle area is the world's largest producer of opium and heroin, with a planting area of ​​more than 1 million mu, with an annual output of 2,650 to 2,800 tons of opium and about 200 tons of heroin.  Urban Devil Fruit 295

Some people in the know believe that the Golden Triangle is the source of 20% of the world’s opium supply, but the heroin trafficked through the Golden Triangle region accounts for 60% to 70% of the world’s total, and the annual production capacity of heroin in this region can meet the global consumption of heroin for two years !

To this day, the Golden Triangle area and the Golden Crescent area on the borders of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, and the Silver Triangle area at the border of Colombia and Venezuela are known as the world's three major drug sources!

It is conceivable how chaotic this place known as the "source of evil" in the world is!

Many famous drug lords appeared in this area in the 20th century. For a long time, there have been many drug armed forces and other drug armed forces operating here, so it is also called "Adventurer's Paradise".

For example, Kun Sha, Luo Xinghan, Peng Jiasheng, etc. These drug lords have organized a group of well-equipped local armed forces in order to produce and sell drugs, and even... dare to openly confront the central "governments" such as Myanmar and Thailand!

Of course, these private drug lord forces are not the only ones in the chaotic Golden Triangle region, but the local forces that once produced the most drugs in Myanmar were: Kokang in the first special zone, Wa State in the second special zone, etc.

These places are actually controlled by local warlords. Although they submit to the central military "government" of Myanmar, they still have a lot of autonomy and provide considerable convenience for their own supply and trafficking of drugs.

"The Golden Triangle is indeed chaotic." Tang Tianyou said.

"Why is it so 'chaotic' there? Actually, there is a reason." Zhao Feng smiled, "The Mekong River is an important geographical reason for the formation of the "Golden Triangle". It flows straight south from Qinghai in the northwest of China, passing through China. , Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.”

"The 4,009-kilometer-long river cuts off the high mountains in Southeast Asia. Together with the many deep valleys and turbulent tributaries between the mountains, countless canyons and cliffs have formed, forming a large traffic dead-end."

"Due to the above-mentioned special geographical reasons, the Golden Triangle region is less connected with developed regions in terms of economy and culture, and it is difficult for the central government of the relevant countries to exercise in-depth or effective control over the Golden Triangle for a long time."

Tang Tianyou agreed very much. Wherever the geographical environment is complicated, the government must be difficult to manage. The local government is strong, the central government is weak, and the management is weak. How can it not be chaotic? !

The place in the Golden Triangle has good climatic conditions for crop production, coupled with the particularity and complexity of terrain, landforms, and geographical climate, it has given the survival and reproduction of many ethnic groups in this area, and there are various separatist regimes. Powers, regional forces, or ethnic militias create excellent places to live and maneuver.

"It's hard to imagine." Zhao Feng said with emotion, "It's obviously a backward and narrow corner, but it continuously exudes energy that corrupts civilized society, stubbornly announcing its existence to the world."
