Chapter 14 self reap

The Hmong and Li chiefs who were loyal to France were also loyal to the United States.Their lives are simple, they are hard-working and brave and good at fighting. The "Christian Truth Magazine" praised them as Spartan soldiers in the 20th century. They have indeed become important assistants to the US military and important nemesis of the Viet Cong. The ending may be greatly improved.However, they cannot fight with bare hands. Their nation must survive. Due to the efforts of the French government, opium cultivation has spread to the border areas of Myanmar and Thailand-this is how the "Golden Triangle" was formed.The mountain ethnic minorities there are mainly hunting and hunting, and they don't know the meaning of the national borders created by the modern international society?After they discovered that opium could make money, they planted opium.It's that simple, simple disappointment.

——They don't even know what the "Golden Triangle" and "Poison Triangle" are, and what is an international anti-drug organization?At the beginning, I only knew that the white people in the West taught them how to grow opium and buy opium.Now I only know that the same white people in the West turned their faces and ruthlessly accused them of not planting, especially not selling.The civilized world is too complicated for them to understand. The U.S. troops stationed in South Vietnam had no choice but to buy their opium. Apart from opium, they had no other major crops. I can't even afford table salt.However, after the Americans bought opium, they did not sell it in their own homes like the French did.After the Americans bought it, they kept it for their own country to refine narcotic drugs.However, the United States soon became unable to digest it, so it had to cooperate with drug lords and allow them to transport opium and opium products such as heroin to Southeast Asian countries.

——The Americans can no longer control the sales route after they are shipped to Southeast Asian countries.It is not the policy of the United States, but the policy of North Vietnam that Saigon has become a drug world, and large numbers of US troops are trapped in drug traps.As a result of the export of opium from the West to the East, American soldiers were the first to taste the feedback. In 1960, the "Golden Triangle" was truly full of feathers. Like a huge monster, it suddenly rose out of the sea and shocked the world.But few people know that this monster was bred and raised by Western civilization.Soon, the "Golden Triangle" became the world's largest heroin production and drug trafficking center.In this long North-South Vietnam War, the vast majority of corrupt officials (American, Thai, Lao, and Vietnamese) relied on the Golden Triangle to get rich, which constituted the main reason for the corruption and collapse of the "Republic of Vietnam" one.Because of the involvement of a large number of senior officials (from assistance, cover, to partnership), the heroes of the Golden Triangle emerged in large numbers. Among them, Mr. Luo Xinghan is the most famous. He has a good reputation in the Golden Triangle that Mr. Kun Sha does not have. Many people miss him. It is said that he Use most of the proceeds from drug trafficking to take care of the poor.Is it so? We don’t know. We only know that he is locked in a prison cell in Yangon. I’m afraid he can’t figure out how the line of work he has been doing was legal, honorable, and respected a while ago, but Suddenly illegal, harmful, criminal?International politics, ups and downs, who dares to predict tomorrow?

The U.S. military’s involvement in the Vietnam War and acceptance of drug trafficking brought terrible consequences to the U.S., that is, the golden triangle drugs were concentrated in Saigon through the hands of North Vietnam and corrupt officials. Heroin, morphine, and opium were all cheap. Normal people will have the idea of ​​trying, thinking that it doesn't matter to take a sip or inject a needle.The traffic between Saigon and the United States is as dense as a cobweb. It is the most ideal drug trafficking channel in the world. The number of drugs flowing into the United States is increasing exponentially every year. Because the danger is small and the quantity is large, it is easy for young people in the United States to Get addicted to drugs.

On the other hand, the U.S. troops fighting in Vietnam, because of their depression, hesitation, fear and fear, could only use drugs to balance themselves—this is a hidden massacre.During the Vietnam War, young American soldiers, they were so young and so handsome, curled up on the streets of Saigon, begging passers-by for a few pennies in exchange for a pack of heroin.That scene is shocking, is this an excellent American soldier?Fortunately, they returned to China and brought their drug addiction back. The problems created in the United States became more complicated and serious.We still remember the movie "The Man with the Golden Arm". The hero is not a direct victim of drug use, but enough is enough.

These reasons prompted the establishment of the International Anti-drug Organization, and also prompted them to pay attention to the Golden Triangle—the opium-growing area they cultivated with painstaking efforts.It further contributed to the launch of the Second Opium War in January of this year (1982) with the help of Thailand.
