Cheng Jiaji and others did not stay in Hong Kong for long. On the third day of arrival, they followed the advance team at the forefront station and embarked on a journey from Hong Kong to Bangkok by boat, and then from Bangkok to Yangon by land. The journey was very long, and the transportation conditions along the way were not so satisfactory. By the time they arrived in Yangon, it was already mid-August. It took more than twenty days to start from Chongqing. This discovery made Cheng Jiaji realize that the two-month inspection period was not enough, and he also mourned his own wallet.

Yangon, the capital of Lower Myanmar Province under the jurisdiction of the British Indian Governor, is also known as the City of Peace. This city, which means "the enemy has been eliminated" in Burmese, was named after a decisive victory of the Gongbang Dynasty during the Myanmar Unification War two hundred years ago. Located in the eastern part of the Irrawaddy River Delta, Yangon, where the Yangon River and the Bogu River confluence are not only beautiful, but also evergreen in all seasons, but also has the largest deep-water marine port in Myanmar. The Yangon Port in 1852 was built. What the British are most proud of is that now

Even the giants and ocean-going ships on the sea can also reach the city of Yangon through many river ports and docks that are opposite to Yangon Port. It can be seen that the British, who launched two wars and finally conquered this country with the residents, mainly Hinayana Buddhism, attached great importance to it. In fact, during the eighty or ninety years of the British occupation of Myanmar, many grand projects similar to Yangon Port were built. In the heart, the Saxons indeed regarded the rich land of Myanmar as his.

At the same time, in order to constantly starve those foolish natives (Myanmars) to death, the "merciful" God's people "generously" hired them as slaves and housekeepers at a much lower cost than feeding their pets. The provincial council must have the British Empire regime, and the "mindful" local councillors who have returned from studying abroad in the United Kingdom symbolically incorporated the "mindful and honest" "peaceful" British people still have "educated" British people. What's more, in order to make the

The facade is more glamorous, and London politicians also gave "sacred human rights" to the election of women in Myanmar and the elected place where food and clothing cannot be guaranteed. They did not hesitate to use the "take-by-time" female MP to expand the influence of this "moral politics". Although the British think that they have "treated equally" to "seamless", as long as you observe as a bystander and immediately find that these tricks of British play are full of flaws.

Whether to recruit soldiers in the local area is an important identification standard for whether the colony is stable. However, the British who lacked military strength would rather transfer Sikh soldiers from India to maintain the "order" of Myanmar than give local men wearing "cage-based" tumblers to think of the "honor" of the British Empire. Not only that, even the pistol of the Burmese police, which is the most "trusted" by the British colonial authorities, is forced to have only two bullets in the gun chamber. In this regard, the British official public statement is that this is to reduce the possibility of undertrained police officers accidentally injuring civilians. Compared with this excuse that even ghosts cannot coax. The British director of the Yangon Police Department once

A thoughtful statement made in private is undoubtedly true and credible. "Give two bullets to those "Myanmar pigs" more. When catching criminals, can they use one to fire a gun to warn, and one to knock down the target? Don't cheat them, don't look at how gentle and tame these people are usually, but as long as you give them five bullets each, Myanmar Province will soon become India in 1857 (that year, a major uprising broke out in India with one-tenth of Indians participating, and the uprising lasted for two years). "With these, you will understand how "popular and solid" the British rule in Myanmar is.

The fact that the British Empire's control over Myanmar has been reduced from a long time ago to below the danger line, Mr. Winston Straw, a pragmatic and diligent intermediate official in the British colonial authority's guest system, is well aware of it. It is precisely because of the knowledge that Straw feels a sincere fear. What deepens this fear is that he has recently discovered that the situation is deteriorating rapidly with the changes in the international situation. What's worse, Mr. Straw, who was born in a small noble family with conscientious duties as the family precepts, had neither experience in serving in the army nor a person with a strong personality. Therefore, he was overly worried and naturally seriously hurt his health. Fortunately, there are still several medical techniques in Yangon.

A good British doctor, after staying in the hospital for three weeks, was diagnosed with mild depression. The middle-aged technician who usually likes to hear others call him Mr. Winston (the same name as the first British in the same period) was told by the doctor that he had basically recovered his health. Upon hearing this news, Mr. Straw, who was tortured by the pungent formalin smell everywhere in the hospital, immediately jumped off the hospital bed. After refusing the doctor to let him stay in the hospital for a period of time, he ran home excitedly in a zebra suit. At this time, Straw would not think that in just a few dozen hours, he would regret not accepting the doctor's advice, and this regret would inexplicably accompany him throughout the second half of his life.

The Davis Golf Course, which is close to the 2,500-year-old Radar Everbright King Tower, belongs to the Cromwell Club. In addition to this golf course, there are casinos, nightclubs, etc. In short, he operates everything he plays, and also implements two systems of membership and non-membership. It is precisely because of the flexible management techniques and supporting actions that it now occupies half of the Yangon entertainment industry. The "decent people" in Yangon are actually very limited. The rapid rise of the Cromwell Club cannot have an impact on the old entertainment merchants. These British merchants whose interests have been damaged have joined forces to attack Cromwell Club.

A major reason for their request to the government to ban this club is that although the chairman of the club is British, several of its directors are people of color with "unknown origin and suspected criminals". Generally speaking, in Yangon, which is considered to be "conservative", this malicious attack mixed with racist sentiment is the easiest to make up for it. British merchants don't know how many competitors have been destroyed by this method. But at this moment, these entertainment merchants failed to get what they wanted. Under the strong protection of the mayor's mayor, the Cromwell Club escaped. Afterwards, from the mayor's mistress's "rumor" that the Cromwell Club had given 20% of its shares to the mayor.

These alone certainly do not constitute a reason for Mr. Straw to remain obsessed with Davis Golf Course until the last moment of his life.

All this can only be something that happened here on August 15th. It made him unforgettable.

That day, the second day of Lawrence's discharge, several friends invited him to go to Davis Golf Course to relax in order to celebrate his "restored freedom". Perhaps because of the happy events, or because his friends were "comforting" Straw, his bad skills actually performed well, and he repeatedly refreshed his best results. He also won a lot of lottery. He played until noon. He was tired and hungry, and wanted to go to the golf course's very Scottish country-style restaurant to eat first, and then come back to fight. This time, Mr. Straw, who always performed very well, did not walk with his friends. A piece of his backpack that he usually wanted to use. The custom-made high-end club in Liverpool disappeared.

When Straw was deeply grateful for his ability to see the beloved club on the turf, the "blessing" of neurasthenia and his extreme sensitivity made him find that he fell into a trap. The basis for prompting Lawrence to make this judgment was very sufficient. Meeting a person on the golf course, two strangers were met by chance, but if they were surrounded by seven or eight people, I am afraid that no matter how naive a person is, he would not think things are so beautiful. Not to mention, among the uninvited guests that suddenly appeared, two of them had yellow skins. Every Yangon person knows that as the only golf course in the city that allows people other than white people to enter, "Davis" will only be open to people of color every Wednesday, and today is the week.

Straw's reaction was not slow. He quickly picked up the valuable club. Unfortunately, his opponent's strength that was too much beyond his expectations made the British gentleman's attempt to defend himself become a bubble in a blink of an eye.

The next moment, Mr. Straw, who was determined to be disproportionate to his strength, was pressed on the grass by several strong and strong arms, and he looked like a chicken about to be raped.

"Mr. Straw, we have no malice, just want to talk to you. If you cooperate, I think our conversation can become something that everyone will accept."

Straw didn't feel much surprise that the kidnappers would sing like this, which made him incredible, but instead, the language used by the short yellow man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who asked him was French, not only French, but also a pure Paris accent. You should know that English has become a comprehensive internationally popular language, which was actually something that happened after World War II and was promoted as American. Before that, although English was also one of the most widely spread languages ​​in the world, it was far from what people in later generations thought.

How popular? Especially in the hometown of English, Europe, when communicating in high-level social occasions in Europe before World War II, gentlemen and ladies were still proud of being fluent in the noble French in the European language family. A few earlier, British diplomats talked to people in formal occasions, and they all used French, because English was not solemn enough. But now, the noblest language in the white world comes from the mouths of the lowest race in the eyes of white people, and it is still so fluent and pure, how can you not shock Straw?

After a while of panic, he realized that the other party's purpose would never be for the dozens of pounds in his purse. He calmed down a little, and he also replied in French: "Sir, is this the way you seek partners?"

"Sorry, Mr. Lawrence, this is just a way for us to show sincerity, and it was learned from your country's musket team. As for negotiations, there will naturally be another way to match it." After mocking the prey in a condescending tone, the short man in glasses made people let go of the sweaty Welshman.

After standing up, Lawrence understood what the other party said about the equivalent way of negotiations represented. In 1898, red wine, delicious calf boards, tables and chairs made of twelve strips, large white parasols, and the waiter with a low eyebrows and pleasing eyes transformed from the thug who had just been exposed. This magical change, while the atmosphere on the scene changed by 180 degrees, also allowed many people who had gone through the wind and rain to improve the level of the negotiating opponents who were about to negotiate with him in an unequal manner.

"Mr. Lawrence. You must be very reluctant to be disturbed by your friends at this moment. Please rest assured that this is the case. My friends and I will not let that disappointing situation happen. I promise! We will have plenty of time to have a negotiation that is good for everyone." After the short man wearing glasses broke the last trace of luck in his opponent's heart, another medium-sized person with skin of the same color as the former, put a few small objects on the table.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, these only three well-made and beautifully shaped ornaments, but in the heart of poor Lawrence, it was everything to him. He recognized them at a glance. These three jewelry were made with his wife and two daughters, one of which was worn by his wife before going out this morning.

"You don't have to worry, your wife, your two lovely daughters are in a safe situation. Of course, whether they can continue to be safe depends on your attitude!" As soon as the short man with glasses finished speaking, the medium-sized man pushed a black leather bag made of thorns to Lawrence, who was already in a petrochemical state.

At this time, Laurenqi, who had suffered severe psychological damage, just came back to his senses. He stuttered and asked, "What do you want."

"I have a friend who is a geography fanatic. He is fascinated by the situation in the whole world, oh, of course, including Myanmar's geology and hydrology. I would like to ask for help! I think this is for you, the highest commander of the National Geographic Administration of the British Empire, in Yangon. He just gave a simple task and took the initiative to agree to you." The short man wearing glasses' tone was so casual, as if he was borrowing money from his close relatives and friends.

No matter how graceful it is, the creepy real meaning it contains will make the threatened person shudder. At this point, Lawrence's thinking is that no matter how chi Chun is, he can imagine it. The other party is asking himself to use Myanmar's geographical information to exchange his wife and daughter's lives.

"Are you Japanese?" Hell! After being forced into a desperate situation, Lawrence became smarter.

The short man wearing glasses replied word by word, "Don't worry about who we are. In a word, before dark, you just need to take the information my friend wants and throw it into your oral email address, and you can see your beautiful wife and lovely daughter at dawn tomorrow. Otherwise, they will disappear from the world cleanly, just like they have never appeared. By the way, the list of information and cameras, offset printing and mailing addresses are all here." The short man wearing glasses pointed at the black leather bag and said.

After initially confirming that these people had nothing to do with the country that threatened the most to the interests of Britain in the Far East, Lawrence, whose guilt was greatly reduced, asked in a deep voice: "Please allow me to ask in the name of a father, how can I trust you?"

"We are not thugs, it's just work. We can only achieve our goals. No one of my colleagues and I will be willing to get unnecessary blood, especially women and children. Besides, that kind of unnecessary violence can only mess up things. Of course, if you want to do this, we will do what you want. Remember that you and your family have no choice!"

Although he is emotionally disgusted or even hated those who have really disturbed his life. But from a rational perspective, Lawrence did not admit that what the other party said was at least logically impeccable. Just imagine, if the other party suddenly disappears after the other party achieves his goal, the subsequent pressure from the police will make these people with special missions a headache!

Next, after the coercion left, the anxious Lawrence rushed back to the office. After locking the door, he opened his bag and pulled out the list and opened it. He couldn't help but breathe a breath of air. Those people were simply Myanmar drawn on the drawings. But for his wife and daughter, he picked up the phone on the desk and found the director of the information room. On the grounds that the National Geographic General Administration of London was coming to visit people in recent days to review the information, he urged him to send some documents to him quickly so that he could review it first.

When Lawrence, forced to efficiently and quickly "betray" the interests of the British Empire, several "murderers" who pulled the gentleman into the water had already stood in front of Cheng Jiaji, the main messenger behind the matter.
