Regarding Huang Mang's doubts about whether Jiang Wanhua would collaborate with him, Xin Yi confidently stated, "This alone is certainly not enough to make him work with us; this is just the first step. However, in the end, he will have no choice but to cooperate with us."
Huang Mang had never doubted Xin Yi's words. He had always been confident in his young Third Brother. Since Xin Yi took charge of Three Tiger Hall, he not only saved the already precarious Three Tiger Hall from danger but also established the Three Tiger Group in a short period. This allowed the once bloodthirsty Brothers to live normal lives and cleared the entire Binhai area of threats, bringing all of Binhai's resources into the Three Tiger Group's fold. How many could match such strategic and tactical prowess? Therefore, no matter what decision Xin Yi made, Huang Mang would undoubtedly support and execute it unconditionally. "So what should we do next?" Huang Mang asked.
"Next, you should continue enjoying your luxurious life in Taiwan," Xin Yi chuckled. "Second Brother, you've spent half your life fighting and haven't truly enjoyed yourself. Consider this a vacation; enjoy life as Chairman Huang. I will handle the rest and will notify you when I need you to step in."
"Alright then, I shall comply. But I'm afraid that if I get used to this luxurious lifestyle, returning to my old ways might be a shock," Huang Mang laughed. "You know, this kind of extreme luxury is really hard to adapt to. I can't quite get used to that exquisite vintage wine either. To be honest, tonight I'm just being my true self."
"Hahaha..." Xin Yi laughed as well. "Then are you saying your lifestyle has no issues? Is that also part of your true self?"
"Hahaha... I knew you would say that! It's fine for us brothers to talk like this, but please don't tell your sister-in-law. By the way, that girl tonight was quite something; she nearly wore me out."
Hahaha... The two brothers shared a hearty laugh...
At the end of each month, Limin Group prepares to ship finished products, which is an agreement reached with its largest distributor, Lusang Nation's Black K Party. At the end of every month, Limin Group sends two containers filled with various drugs to a seaside dock over three hundred kilometers away from Abayir. These containers are loaded onto ships bound for Lusang Nation. The vessels belong to Y Country Moha Group, which makes several trips to Taiwan each month to deliver large quantities of food, arms, and daily necessities before taking Taiwan's drug products back to Lusang Nation on its final trip at the end of each month. As for how they evade customs inspections in Lusang Nation, that's unknown; after years of cooperation, there has never been a slip-up. The various drugs produced in Taiwan are distributed worldwide through this method. Thus, some jokingly refer to Y Country Moha Group's shipping route as the golden route; the value generated by this route each year even exceeds the GDP of some developing countries.
Tomorrow is the scheduled delivery date. Jiang Wanhua stayed in his office until dark and personally inspected the Finished Goods Warehouse, instructing warehouse managers and security personnel to remain vigilant at night. Jiang Wanhua is a very cautious person; he handles internal management matters personally and feels particularly tense during these days leading up to deliveries. He knows what the finished drugs in the Finished Goods Warehouse mean for Limin Group and all of Taiwan: they represent food supplies, medicines, weapons, and daily necessities for Taiwan. Without these drugs, Taiwan could quickly fall into turmoil.
As President Jiang Jiwen's uncle, Jiang Wanhua understands how heavy his responsibilities are. He once suggested that Congress change agricultural policies so that Taiwanese farmers could grow poppies for foreign exchange while also cultivating some food crops. This way, in case of emergencies, Taiwan could become self-sufficient quickly instead of being entirely dependent on others. However, this proposal was met with opposition from most members of Congress who believed Jiang Wanhua was being overly cautious by abandoning high-value poppy cultivation for low-value food crops—an idea they deemed foolish. Not only did Congress oppose it, but even Jiang Jiwen himself disagreed with his uncle's proposal. Later on, Jiang Wanhua realized that his nephew was aware of the potential dangers associated with poppy cultivation but felt there were no other viable options given Taiwan's circumstances at that time.
When the Mingguo Party established its regime in Taiwan, much of the land was dense jungle where indigenous people lived a semi-primitive lifestyle based on slash-and-burn agriculture and hunting. Establishing a new regime on such land solely through food cultivation would be an extremely lengthy process. At that time, Heavenly Pride Nation had its eyes on Taiwan; once their internal regime stabilized, they were likely to invade. The Mingguo Party's military remnants were barely equipped with weapons left from their hasty retreat and couldn't even meet basic living standards. To rapidly enhance their overall national strength within a short time frame required finding a shortcut to accumulate wealth quickly; thus, the proposal for poppy cultivation and drug refinement gained approval from most military leaders at that time—including President Jiang Zhongzheng himself. Jiang Zhongzheng's term lasted only six years; during this time, while drugs helped solve issues related to arms supply and soldiers' rations for Taiwan’s military forces, the refining technology was too primitive—poppies could only be processed into low-quality products like black opium—which then had to be further refined by Black K Party in Lusang Nation into other end products like heroin or methamphetamine; hence their added value was not very high.
Jiang Zhongzheng, during his early years in the Heavenly Pride Nation, suffered from numerous injuries and ailments due to years of warfare. Now, having been driven to this desolate land, he saw no hope of returning to Heavenly Pride in his lifetime. Consequently, he spent his days in a state of melancholy and discontent, ultimately passing away six years into his rule with many regrets.
Jiang Jiwen, though still young, came from a military background and inherited much of his father's cunning and intellect. He was even bolder and more innovative than Jiang Zhongzheng. After taking control of Taiwan's government, he focused primarily on economic development. He appointed his uncle, Jiang Wanhua, to manage the production and manufacturing of opium and mobilized the entire military to clear land for expanding opium cultivation. This led to a nationwide surge in opium planting in Taiwan, increasing the cultivation area fivefold in just three years. As a result, Taiwan became the world's largest opium production base, surpassing the Golden Triangle region.
Jiang Wanhua did not disappoint Jiang Jiwen. After taking over the management of opium production and processing, he quickly established Limin Group under the military's name. He imported advanced production equipment and techniques from abroad, transforming what were once small workshops producing low-end products like opium into modern chemical plants with advanced production processes. This significantly increased both production capacity and product quality, leading to exponential profit growth that provided a continuous revenue stream for Taiwan. The advanced weaponry imports and food supplies for Taiwan relied heavily on the enormous profits generated by Limin Group. Consequently, not only Jiang Wanhua but also the entire Taiwan Military worked around the normal operations and security of Limin Group. The 114th Division stationed near Limin Group was essentially a military unit dedicated to serving it, equipped with top-notch imported weaponry.
Two container trucks loaded with finished drugs were parked outside the Finished Goods Warehouse of Limin Group, waiting to begin loading at dawn. It was expected that they would be ready to depart by sunrise. The journey from the warehouse to the seaside dock spanned over three hundred kilometers, protected by local stationed troops along the way. Additionally, the 114th Division would dispatch a company of soldiers to escort the shipment throughout its route, making it virtually foolproof. However, Jiang Wanhua felt something was off that night; an uneasy premonition lingered in his mind that something might go wrong. Unable to pinpoint what was amiss, he instructed the warehouse manager and security personnel before calling the commander of the 114th Division to request an additional company for escorting the shipment to the dock.
Not far from Limin Group, on top of a building, two figures were observing everything inside with infrared night vision binoculars. The woman among them asked, "Xin Yi, are you sure this rocket launcher can hit the target? As far as I know, rocket launchers usually have a short effective range; we are about 800 meters away from our target."
"Don't worry," Xin Yi replied. "This labor-80 model 94mm rocket launcher produced by Y Country has an effective range of 1000 meters. Plus, our shooting position is significantly higher than the target; it will be fine." The two on the rooftop were Xin Yi and Roxy, lying in wait for the two container trucks filled with drugs set to leave early tomorrow morning.
It was still before midnight as they took turns observing Limin Group's activities through their binoculars while snacking on cookies and water. Xin Yi had discovered this high-rise while surveying Limin Group's surroundings; from its rooftop, he could clearly see everything happening at the Finished Goods Warehouse within Limin Group's facility. His knowledge of its location came from having infiltrated Limin Group several times over consecutive nights. He accessed the facility through a concealed sewage drainage pipe and had requested diving gear and related equipment from Garon for that purpose. He submerged himself in a hidden area along that sewage river until he reached near the drainage pipe entrance before surfacing and entering through it. The source of the sewage was a large wastewater pool built in one corner of the facility; Xin Yi used his tools to unscrew bolts at an iron grate submerged beneath the wastewater and slipped into it unnoticed, successfully infiltrating the heavily guarded premises of Limin Group—only he knew what he had done inside.
