Chapter 482 Devil's Mountain (Part 1)
Whether it is the Myanmar military government or the Shan State Coalition Army, there are certain interest groups behind it, otherwise the simple Shan State family will not be able to support it for so many years anyway.
Dechinba was only the most ordinary farmer in Shan State, and due to the remote geography of the mountain village, he had not been disturbed by war, but even so, when Naoki Beimiya found the leaders of Shan State and sent a batch of supplies they urgently needed, Dechinba became a link between Shan State and the Japanese.
Beigong Yanjun looked at the time and said: "Naoki, go over early, it's not too late now!"
To be honest, Beigong Yanjun was not optimistic that the head of the family would find gold this time, that was more than half a century ago, and there were people in China who escaped at that time, maybe they had already taken the gold away.
And Beigong Yanjun also doesn't understand one thing, the total amount of gold is only 20 tons, according to the price of one gram of gold in '98 is equal to about 20 US dollars, 20 tons of gold is only 3 to 400 million US dollars.
However, in order to search for this batch of gold, over the decades, the manpower and material resources invested by the Beigong family for this, plus this five-star hotel built in Myanmar, I am afraid that this number is almost the same, which is also the main reason why many Beigong family members are dissatisfied.
Taking Dechenba to the top, Beigong Yanjun and others returned to the presidential suite on the eighteenth floor, and the Beigong hero who was sitting on the tatami mat to recuperate opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Dechinba to the top, and said: "Naoki, let him tell me what happened, I can understand Burmese!"
"Hey!"
After agreeing, he gently patted Dechin Baden's shoulder and said, "Tell the head of the family everything you know, and we can send you back!"
The cloudy old Dechen Baden did not see that when Naoki Kitomiya said this, several people in the room showed a sarcastic smile on their faces at the same time, and said happily: "Okay, I will definitely tell you everything, but it has been too long, and there are some things I can't remember."
"It's okay, you can think slowly." Beigong Hero waved his hand and did not urge Deqinba to reach the top.
"That was in 1950, when I was only eighteen years old, my family was very poor, and I could only go up the mountain to pick wild fruits every day to eat ......." Dechinba's eyes showed a look of remembrance as he climbed to the top, recalling the story that happened nearly half a century ago.
Since Myanmar became one of the main battlefields for the Sino-US-British coalition to fight against Japan's power in Southeast Asia during World War II, the war damage suffered by them was far higher than that of neighboring countries such as Laos and Thailand.
Although the war ended in 1950 for five years, Myanmar, which had many mountains and forests and unsmooth roads, did not develop its economy at all, but became poorer because domestic supplies were plundered by the Japanese during the war.
At that time, Dechenba climbed to the top of the mountains and lived in the mountainous area of Shan State on the border of Myanmar, Laos and China, which was not involved in the war, but people's lives were also very difficult.
At the age of eighteen, he looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the family relied on picking some medicinal materials from the mountains and forests to sell them in exchange for some daily necessities.
Dechin Baden clearly remembers that the arrival of a team of more than 20 people made their small village of only more than 100 people boil, because these Chinese actually brought a lot of salt and other materials that they lacked the most.
The conditions for those people to return were a bit strange, they needed to borrow more than forty mules and horses from the village, and it only took one day and could be returned the next day.
The border between Shan State and China's Yunnan/Nan is not very clearly divided, people from the two countries can move around casually, trade is frequent, and the residents of both places are very simple, and there is no word profiteer in their minds.
So the deal was reached smoothly, and in the evening of the next day, the Chinese really sent back the mules and horses as promised, but three mules and horses were thrown to death in the mountains, and they compensated some money.
It stands to reason that this is just an ordinary transaction, and there is nothing unusual about it, but as for Dechin Baden, who drove mules and horses to the Chinese at that time, what he saw was not so simple.
After sending the mules and horses to the place designated by the Chinese, Dechin Baden did not go far at the time, but climbed to another hill and observed the actions of these Chinese from there.
He found that those Chinese people hung dozens of wooden boxes on mule horses and entered a forbidden area in their mountainous area, that is, Devil's Mountain, which the locals smelled of.
In the hearts of Burmese people, there are two places that must not be set foot in, one is the "Savage Mountain" located in Myitkyina in northern Myanmar, where the mountains are large and densely forested, miasma is rampant, it is said that there were savages in the past, so the area within a radius of 100 kilometers has become a no-man's land.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, only 3,000 or 4,000 people were left in India after 1.5 thousand people crossed the Savage Mountain and arrived in India, not even a fraction, and among the total 10 troops of the entire Chinese Expeditionary Force entering Burma to participate in the war, more than 1 Chinese soldiers died in the battle at that time, but 5 people died in the Savage Mountain.
Although scholars from all over the world entered it after the war, it was only in vain that the geographical environment was too harsh.
Another forbidden place in Myanmar is Devil's Mountain in the Shan State region, where the mountains also overlap, the forests are as dense as the sea, the swamps in the woods are endless, the river valleys are densely forested, jackals and beasts are rampant, and miasma and malaria are spreading.
And the dreaded thing about Devil Mountain is more than that, there are many caves in the mountains, and the openings of many caves are like canyons, and you don't feel anything when you go in, but when you go deep inside, you will suddenly find that you are already in the cave.
These caves crisscrossed, like a maze, and there were also a large number of shade-loving pythons living inside, the eyes of these pythons were almost completely degenerated and blind, but their sense of smell and hearing were extremely sensitive, and once there was any movement, it was very likely to attract a large number of pythons to encircle and suppress them.
For those Shan State locals, entering Devil's Mountain may be able to come out alive, but if they accidentally enter these caves, there is only one way out.
Shan people born near Devil's Mountain have been warned by their elders since they were young not to enter the mountains, and never dared to set foot in the mountains until Dechinba was eighteen years old.
So when he saw the Chinese driving mules and horses into the mountains, his first reaction was that there would be no more animals in the village that could be cultivated in the future, because in his impression, no one or livestock could come out alive after entering the Devil's Mountain.
Out of curiosity, Dechinba had been waiting at the top where he could see the entrance of Devil Mountain, and a day later, something shocking happened to him, those Chinese actually drove mules and horses out of the mountain again.
The careful Dechenba climbed to the top and found that there were originally a total of fifty-six mules and horses and twenty-eight people who went in, but when they came out, only fifty mules and horses and twenty-five people were left, which means that their losses on this trip were only six mules and horses and three people.
After the Chinese returned the mules and horses to compensate for the losses and left, the young heart of Deqin Badeng suddenly became agitated, what did the Chinese do in the Devil's Mountain? Why he came out safely, these mysteries have always puzzled him.
Two years later, the Myanmar civil war broke out, and the small mountain villages, which were already very difficult to make a living, were also affected.
But Dechinba did not leave, he told the secret he had hidden in his heart for two years to his three partners who grew up together.
Based on the situation observed at the top of Dechinba, they quickly came to the conclusion that there must be a huge wealth hidden in the wooden box brought by those Chinba, and that wealth was hidden in Devil Mountain at the moment.
As the saying goes, wealth is moving, if they can get that wealth, they can leave poor Myanmar and go to live in other countries.
Even for the next forty years, he was always in a state of extremely abnormal spirit, until he met Naoki Kitamiya, and after some drug treatment, Dechen Badeng gradually recalled the past that had been sealed by him for more than half a century.
When he said this, Dechin Baden's cloudy eyes showed a look of horror again, his mouth suddenly closed tightly, his hands waved randomly in the air, and shouted loudly: "Get away from me, devil, get out of me quickly!"
"Baga? What's going on?" At this juncture, Deqinba suddenly fell silent, and the hero of Beigong was suddenly furious, stood up, and wanted to stretch out his hands to strangle Deqinba's neck.
You know, this is the most valuable news that Beigong Hero has heard in the nearly fifty years of searching for that gold.
