I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: The remnants of the Wa State Army

There is no way, more than 80% of the iron ore in Dragon Kingdom is poor ore, and the quality is only more than 30%.

It is far lower than 43% of the world’s average iron ore quality.

Every year, Dragon State imports 1.1 billion tons of iron ore from overseas. The main importing countries are southern hemisphere countries such as Australia and South America. The import price is as high as 164 US dollars per ton, and it also has to bear the freight.

And because of the control of the four major international mining groups, prices rise at every turn, which is disgusting to Longguo.

Longguo’s steel industry has suffered enough from the four major international mining groups.

Now there are high-quality rich iron ore raw stones so close to Longguo, and the output is so large that major steel groups have come to buy it.

Especially Dian Iron and Steel, although its size is not among the top ten in Longguo, it is still one of the top 500 companies in the world, with an annual output of 8 million tons of steel.

Moreover, Dian Iron and Steel is the largest steel group closest to the Legion.

So when Zhang Shaoqian introduced representatives of Longguo Iron and Steel Group to Wang Yao, he was most interested in Dian Iron and Steel and Panzhihua Iron and Steel.

“You said you want to take over the transportation of iron ore raw stones?” In a 330 hall of Jingdong City Government, Wang Yao was sitting on a chair, with Chen Lin and Duan Tianming beside him, and opposite Zhang Shaoqian and representatives of various steel groups in Longguo. them.

Although the representatives of Longguo Steel Group heard Zhang Shaoqian say that Commander Wang of the Legion was very young on the way here, they never expected him to be so young.

After Wang Yao raised this issue, the representative of Diupangang Group said: “Yes, because we have personally seen that your transportation capacity is limited and the road conditions are complicated, so we, Panzhihua Iron and Steel…”

“Um… and other steel group colleagues.” The representative of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group looked at everyone, and after being threatened by the eyes, he changed his words and said: “Let’s gather hundreds of heavy-duty trucks to transport from the mining area to the Mongla border port. transportation tasks.”

“The subsequent transportation sections will be contracted by our group.”

Before coming to meet the leader of the legion, these dozen representatives from various steel groups in the Dragon Kingdom had discussions.

Dian Iron and Steel Group, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group, and Liuzhou Iron and Steel Group, the three steel groups in the southwestern region of Longguo that are closest to the Legion, take over the Legion’s 2 million tons of iron ore and 800,000 tons of refined iron ore every month.

In exchange, the three steel groups will share a portion of their overseas iron ore imports (abcf) with other steel groups.

Wang Yao thought for a while and said: “The mining area is relatively sensitive, and we also have to support some of our own transportation companies and truck drivers. We can only give you a 60-kilometer transportation task from Jingdong to Mengla. How about it?”

After hearing what the other person said, several representatives of the Steel Group made a simple calculation and found that this was pretty good.

For a 60-kilometer journey, a heavy truck loaded with 50 tons of raw iron ore only takes about four hours to travel back and forth. Moreover, when returning from the Mengla Port, it can also haul some supplies purchased by the legion from the Dragon Kingdom without emptying the load.

Assuming that a heavy truck can make six round trips a day, it can transport 300 tons of raw iron ore a day without taking a break. It only requires 313 heavy trucks and less than 1,000 heavy truck drivers working in three shifts. transportation.

Wang Yao continued: “In this way, your three steel groups will provide 320 heavy trucks to set up a transportation company to be responsible for the transportation of raw iron ore from Jingdong to Mengla, as well as the transportation of materials purchased by the legion from the Dragon Kingdom, and by the way, help. How about we train some truck drivers.”

“I have no requirements for these heavy-duty trucks. It’s no problem if you can dispatch some old vehicles from Dragon Kingdom. My only requirement is to help us train heavy-duty truck drivers. How about giving these trucks to us when they reach retirement age?”

Representatives of the three steel groups discussed quietly.

The conditions given by Wang Yao are indeed good, and there is no age requirement for trucks, and no new vehicles are needed. There are thousands of heavy-duty trucks for trade on the long border between Yunnan Province and the neighboring Guangxi Province, so just randomly select a batch and it will be fine.

So after a brief discussion, the representative of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group extended his hand and said: “Then, happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation.” Wang Yao also smiled and shook hands with the other party.

Representatives of Longguo Iron and Steel Group are happy that they can obtain 2 million tons of rich iron ore and 800,000 tons of refined iron ore per month at the lowest price. Those transportation costs are more than 1.1 billion purchased from overseas at high prices every year. For Longguo Steel Group, the amount of iron ore per ton is just drizzle.

Wang Yao was also very happy.

Jingdong will serve as a large-scale material concentration point for trade with the Dragon Kingdom. Trade goods from all parts of Eastern Shan State will be concentrated in Jingdong and then sold to the Dragon Kingdom in the north.

The materials purchased from Longguo will also be transported to Jingdong and then distributed or sold, thus driving local economic development.

And with so many truck drivers, they need to add water from rivers and rivers on the road to consume and eat.

In addition, Wang Yao recruited ordinary truck driver apprentices from the local area, at least 1,500 to 2,000 people. They have been running in this transportation county from Jingdong to Mengla for a long time, and the economic benefits they have brought are also very considerable. of.

While Wang Yao was developing the construction of the ruling area.

Northern Wa State, Mengmao County.

A group of defeated soldiers withdrew from the city, followed by legionnaires pursuing them. There were drones and armed helicopters circling in the sky. Most of the entire small Mengmao County area had been occupied by the legion.

There are only a few remaining Wa State Army soldiers who are still resisting.

However, as the legion invested more and more troops and launched more and more fierce offensives, the remnant Wa State Army soldiers hiding in various places in Mengmao County, which was not large in the first place, were identified one by one.

Some remaining Wa State Army soldiers who could not withstand the pressure began to withdraw from the city and retreated into the dense virgin forest.

“Commander! Meng Mao is missing…” Deep in the mountains to the west of Meng Mao County, on a mountain with dense jungle, a group of soldiers wearing Wa State Army uniforms surrounded a young man, looking at Meng Mao more than ten kilometers away. The thick smoke rising from Maoxian County and the armed helicopters entrenched in the sky made the atmosphere very solemn.

“Uncle Qiang, how many more of us are there?” The young man wore a red scarf on his chest, and the four English letters of UWSA were printed on the armband on his shoulder.

He is Bao Jiaxiang’s eldest son, the commander of the 629th Regiment of the United Wa State Army, and was elected as the new commander of the Wa State Army, Bao Chunlai.

“There are still more than a thousand people in the 629 regiment, there are still a thousand people in the independent regiment, there are more than a thousand people in the militia of Meng Mao and Meng Bo, and there are more than 3,000 broken troops who have been withdrawn from the front line. In total, we have all the troops we can mobilize. There are only more than 6,000 people left.” Bao Jiaqiang said in a deep voice.

In the past, the United Wa State Army had 40,000 to 50,000 regular troops and tens of thousands of militia troops, but only these 6,000 people remained. Bao Chunlai was deeply aware of the enemy’s strength and worried about the future of the Wa State Army.

“Commander! Commander!” At this time, a soldier ran up and said, “Chief of General Staff Zhao is back!”

“Uncle Zhao?” Bao Chunlai suddenly turned around and saw a dirty man walking towards him with the support of a soldier.
