The earnings of this unit are truly legendary! When old Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan in defeat and let them fend for themselves in Burma, they did something big enough to shock the world, and even Old Chiang kai-shek was directly dumbfounded when he saw it, and immediately sent Li Mi to reinstate them under his command, intending to harass the mainland border and vainly try to bring the nationalist army back to the country. So, what exactly did this force do in Burma? Why was Old Jiang willing to abandon them in the first place, and they had such combat strength? And will Li Mi be able to successfully take them under his command in the end? This video will take you to reveal the story of the Kuomintang remnants of the "meritorious service" in the Golden Triangle!
Speaking of this unit, it is necessary to mention a key person - Li Mi. In fact, most of the people in this unit were li mi's old subordinates, so after they went into exile in Burma, they re-formed a force composed of many forces, also known as Li Mi's troops. However, Li Mi, who is not very strong enough to escape the first place, why would he abandon this powerful team? That has to start with the war of liberation that has begun in our country. In fact, Li Mi has been a smart person since he was a child, adhering to the principle of running if he can't fight, after the People's Liberation Army entered Yunnan in 1950, Li Mi saw that the menacing People's Liberation Army could not fight, so he directly fled the scene at the speed of light, and even the tens of thousands of national troops in front of him did not want it. After experiencing this war, some of those nationalist troops were prisoners of war, some were killed on the spot, and some of the remnants of the army who still had hope for old Chiang Kai-shek and refused to surrender for a long time fled to the border of Yunnan in order to avoid the pursuit of the People's Liberation Army, and then hid in Burma in a hurry.
It's just that people in a foreign country for a long time will inevitably feel homesick and frantically want to find a sense of belonging. As a result, a Li Mi unit consisting of more than 700 Nationalist troops, more than 800 expeditionary troops, and more than 700 Kuomintang demobilized troops was born. More than two thousand of them were living outside together, and their leader, Li Guohui, also asked Lao Jiang for help, but at that time, Old Jiang, who was already unable to take care of himself, was unable to take care of him at all, so he told them to fend for themselves. Disheartened, Li Mi's troops began to try their best to survive in Burma. However, Li Guohui was a very decent person, and even his men, who had been hungry for three days, secretly dug up a sweet potato from a villager, and were shot on the spot after Li Guohui knew about it. Therefore, the figure of Li Guohui has successfully attracted the attention of local toastmasters who focus on drug trafficking. They admired this young man with good leadership skills and high military value, so they took him to start this business together.
However, just as their lives began to get on the right track, the Burmese military was unhappy. Originally, their country had just become independent, and at this time the interior was in chaos, and now suddenly a group of remnants of the Kuomintang army had suddenly emerged, camping here, and in order to avoid the long night and dreams, they immediately sent troops to encircle and suppress Li Guohui and others. Although the nationalist army is often beaten to death in front of the People's Liberation Army, compared with a group of newly formed Burmese troops, the disparity between them is not small. Because many of the Nationalists were from military academies, and Lee had finally developed his military command skills, which had been buried in the Kuomintang army, even though the Burmese military had used heavy weapons against them, it still had not been able to defeat them. The incident was later reported in the media in Thailand and Singapore, and Lee's troops were truly famous in World War I.
However, the old Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan could not sit still immediately after seeing the newspaper. All along, he didn't know that Li Mi had such a brave team under him, but he abandoned them in the war and became a deserter. In this way, after old Chiang scolded Li Mi, he asked him to rush to Burma in a hurry, trying to reassemble Li Guohui's troops and then use them to harass the mainland border in an attempt to bring the nationalist forces back. After receiving the instructions from his superiors, Li Mi did not dare to slacken off at all, and immediately went with 100,000 US dollars. After Li Guohui saw Li Mi, the old leader, he also followed the nature of the soldiers to obey the command and immediately gave way to him.
However, Li Guohui's men were very dissatisfied, thinking that in the most difficult time, it was General Xiao Li who shared their hardships with them, but li Mi wanted their hero to abdicate as soon as he came, which was not unreasonable, right? But is it really unreasonable for Li Mi to do this? When he opened all the suitcases in the car, the soldiers knew whether it was right or not. After the soldiers who had been poor for a long time saw the hundred thousand dollars, their eyes lit up, and some even drooled. And when they thought that this money could help them improve their lives, everyone reluctantly shouted the real incense.
Don't look at this Li Mi when he was on an errand in the Kuomintang, he did not make any contributions, but when he came to Burma, he made a lot of achievements! Because Li Guohui was favored by the local toastmasters, he reluctantly mixed with his brothers to eat by helping them transport goods, so he also encouraged his subordinates to marry and have children with the locals, and he also had a home in a foreign country. So at the beginning of Li Mi's arrival in Burma, Li Guohui's troops had been raised from more than 2,000 people to nearly 10,000 people, not counting the wives and children of those people, and 100,000 US dollars was not enough to feed them. Therefore, in order to seek a long-term job, Li Mi did not seek help from the old Jiang who was difficult to protect himself, after all, only relying on his help from cutting the rope, everyone could not support it for long. It was in this situation that Li Mi came up with a brilliant idea, but it was precisely because of his idea that the business of the Golden Triangle became completely famous, so that when someone mentioned these three words later, everyone could immediately remember what kind of trading place it was.
Because at that time, all the forces were gathered in the three regardless areas of the Golden Triangle, staring at the market trends, and the various forces were tit-for-tat and conquest each other, so after Li Mi witnessed this situation, a meeting was immediately convened, not only calling all the toasts together, but also frantically performing a flower fist embroidery leg in front of them, scaring everyone into a stunned, calling Li Mi mighty, and then accepting the new regulations on drug trafficking formulated by him. That is, the toasts should be peaceful and friendly, seek common development, cultivate and trade in strict accordance with the regulations of the national army, and all income must be taxed to the national army, so that the national army can provide protection for everyone. Since then, this business in the Golden Triangle has moved to a new model of militarization and collectivization, and Li Mi's new business model has also been promoted to the world, and the Golden Triangle region has later become the world's largest drug production base. At this time, however, the Burmese army once again encircled and suppressed Li Mi's forces, and this time they also concentrated the strength of three brigades, plus 4,000 Indian mercenaries.
The battle lasted for three months, and by the end, only about 300 of India's 4,000 mercenaries had escaped, and it was reported that most of them were elite infantry! So if even they can't defeat those national troops, will the Burmese army still expect their own people to have a play to sing? So since then, the Burmese army, in addition to cursing Old Chiang Kai-shek behind their backs, has not dared to provoke them head-on. Through this campaign, Li Mi's troops also completely gained a foothold in the Golden Triangle. However, with the expansion of his power, the United States on the other side of the ocean was not idle, and they began to constantly put pressure on the old Chiang Kai-shek, trying to use this force he cultivated in Burma to kill back at home and fight our army by surprise! But who is Li Mi? Cunning as he would never sacrifice himself to be someone else's wedding dress. Therefore, after receiving a call from old Chiang Kai-shek, Li Mi ostensibly agreed to send troops, but in fact he only dared to harass the mainland border, and once he attracted the attention of our army, he immediately withdrew his troops at full speed.
At that time, it was just in time for the mainland to resist US aggression and aid Korea, so our Chairman Mao did not have time to pay attention to him. So Li Mi's troops took a lot of Lao Mei's equipment in vain under such an unharmed situation. However, the old Chiang Kai-shek was suspicious by nature, and after hearing that Li Mi had met with the US military privately, he was worried that his influence in Burma was getting bigger and bigger, and it was more likely to develop to the point where he could not control it in the future, so he ordered Li Mi to rush back to Taiwan in 1953 and report to the relevant departments. Although before leaving, some of his subordinates constantly reminded Li Mi and advised him not to follow in Zhang Xiaoliu's footsteps. However, Li Mi, who was convinced of Chiang Kai-shek, was sure that he would not attack himself. So after flying back to Taiwan, he was placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek for life until he died at the age of seventy-two, and he never took another half step out of Taiwan. It can be seen that Old Jiang really values him so much that he doesn't want him to leave him for half a step. It's a touching story. So after Li Mi is gone, what should he do with the business he left in the Golden Triangle? Don't worry, let's move on.
In fact, after Li Mi established a foothold in Burma, he once founded a school there. On the day of the school, among the villagers who came to see the liveliness, there was such a stupid-looking child. However, no one would have thought that more than ten years later, he would become the first drug lord in the Golden Triangle! Rohingham was born into a famous family, but after falling out with his family, he became addicted to drugs and owed a bunch of foreign debts. However, because of his strong ability and good skills, he was favored by the local rich lady and engaged in drug trafficking together. Because he was very familiar with the Nationalist Army and later joined the Nationalist Party, his drug trafficking business has always been very smooth. In this way, Luo Xinghan successfully transformed into a generation of fallen masters, borrowed opium from the peasants to sell, sold money and then made the middle price difference, and the business model was very avant-garde.
Later, in 1961, because his relationship with the Kuomintang had been unclear, he was taken away by Burma. However, because the remnants of the Nationalist army quickly withdrew from Taiwan, the Burmese military, seeing that he was very skilled, left Rohinghan to establish an armed force that would specifically set up a banner of opposition. Rohinghan also established the Self-Defense Force in 1965, although the number is small, but he has a lot of strategies, not only appreciated by Burma, but also the team has grown to more than a thousand people, and also obtained a number of advanced weapons in the war. However, no matter how smooth his life was after that, Luo Xinghan could never forget the style of the National Army, so he returned to his old business, used the resources left by the National Army in the local area, began to produce drugs, and also covered all the links in the Golden Triangle to achieve the docking of the whole industrial chain.
In addition, he ushered in a new era of drug purification and sold the goods he produced directly to Europe. As a result, the drug trafficking industry in the Golden Triangle, with the unremitting efforts of Luo Xinghan, has entered a heyday. But later Luo Xinghan was bold enough to take state funds to engage in the industry, which seriously violated the dignity of the country. So the Burmese army sent troops to wipe out his institutional factories and sentenced him to death. But then, without knowing what the reason was, Myanmar not only let him go, but also lost a huge amount of two million yuan.
After the destruction of the Golden Triangle Empire created by Rohinghan, this trade also began to appear in the world, but this gap was soon filled with the emergence of Kunsha. He was also a cadet of the Li Mi Military Academy, who had witnessed the high cost of protection charged by the Nationalist army for toastmasters, and could not help but be deeply infected by them, planning that if he could not make a name for himself in the army, he would go home to be a toastmaster. However, after most of the Nationalist army withdrew to Taiwan in 1954, Kun Sha felt that he would not have any success even if he continued to stay here, so he decisively tore off the rank on his shoulder and returned home to be a toastmaster. And at that time, Kunsha formed his own private army.
Later, relying on the period when the Burmese army and Rohinghan were fighting fiercely, they quietly developed their own forces in secret. Because he himself was from Li Mi's military academy, coupled with the fact that Luo Xinghan's power had begun to decline, he naturally attracted many remnants of the Nationalist army to defect, and also successfully recruited Zhang Suquan, the former commander of the 18th regiment of the Nationalist Army, as his staff officer. As a result, the team's strength value has increased a lot, and it has also stood out from a large number of miscellaneous armies. Due to the various armed struggles in the Golden Triangle in the 1960s, Kun Sha was remembered by the Burmese army at that time, and his arrest began in 1969. However, Kun Sha was not honest after his arrest, and Zhang Suquan also helped him behind his back, which led to his successful escape from the law and the rise of criminal and evil activities.
With the heartfelt assistance of Zhang Suquan, the drug trafficking syndicate established by Kunsha is growing day by day. And Kun Sha is also very smart, he is not greedy like Luo Xinghan to grasp everything, but only focus on controlling the two most profitable links in the industrial chain. So in just a few years, he became the first poison king of the Golden Triangle. And Kunsha has once again brought this dark industry in the Golden Triangle to another peak. However, during this time, Kunsha also made one of the most fatal mistakes. That is to associate drug trafficking with national revolution. Because he claimed that drug trafficking was to finance the revolution and encouraged some ethnic groups in Burma to become independent, he naturally angered the Burmese army.
After the basic peace in Burma, the Burmese army finally freed up its hands to clean him up, so from 91 to 93 years, the Burmese army launched three large-scale attacks on Khun Sha, and directly attacked Khun Sha's lair, causing him to be greatly reduced in strength, and finally the momentum has gone and surrendered to Burma. However, the decline of Luo Xinghan and Kun Sha does not represent the decline of the entire drug trafficking industry, just to say that under this beautiful and peaceful world, there are still some snakes and rats lurking, trying to endanger the safety of the people with their own means, and in the face of such phenomena, the mainland is also actively taking some governance measures, I believe that the future of the mainland people will be safer, here the author also reminds everyone, never relax in the waves around you, maybe around you, there is a pair of eyes full of malice!
