: Military Attention

Naypyitaw is located in the central region of Myanmar, on the valley plain washed out between the Bago Mountains and the Nongben Mountains.

This is the capital of Myanmar and a strategic location of Myanmar. During the Myanmar War of Independence, it was the base camp of the Myanmar Independence Army. During the civilian rule, the capital of Myanmar was moved to the more prosperous city of Yangon in the south.

Until a few years ago, the Myanmar military launched a coup and before it completely took power, it announced during the transitional government that it would move the capital to Naypyitaw and transfer tens of thousands of public officials.

As the base camp of the military, Naypyitaw is not as prosperous as Yangon City. Although many wide roads have been built, it is surrounded by more woods and buildings are concentrated in some residential areas.

However, a large number of troops have been stationed here for a long time, and it serves as the logistics and command center for military operations against the rebels in northern and eastern Myanmar.

Inside the General Staff Headquarters of the Myanmar National Defense Force.

“Commander-in-Chief!” As soon as Min Donglai walked out of a conference room, a staff officer stepped forward and handed over the latest diplomatic note.

“The Kingdom of Siam responded that they have not taken military action in the Golden Triangle area.” The staff officer said simply.

Min Donglai opened the document and took a look at it, then frowned and handed the document to Wen Jun, the deputy commander at the rear.

“There is no need for the Kingdom of Siam to lie to us.” Wen Jun just said this.

“Follow me.” Mindonglai greeted several cronies and entered Mindonglai’s office together.

A few days ago, the Wa State Special Administrative Region sent a telegram stating that the southern Wa State was attacked by unknown armed forces. The opponent was well-equipped and well-trained, and also equipped with a large number of armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters and other heavy equipment. It was suspected that the Kingdom of Siam was crossing the border. provoke armed conflict.

If the warlords from two counties were just attacking each other, they wouldn’t have reported to Mindong so quickly.

Mindong Lai said that the other side was well-equipped and well-trained, but Mindong Lai still believed it. He said that the other side had tanks and helicopters, but Mindong Lai felt that the Wa Special Administrative Region was exaggerating.

However, the Wa State Special Administrative Region suspects that the Kingdom of Siam has crossed the border, which involves a territorial conflict.

A few years ago, Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar National Defense Forces, Mindon Lai, led the military to launch a coup and took over state power, temporarily acting as the commander-in-chief of the caretaker government.

Since taking office, in order to consolidate his rule and power, Mindonglai launched a crusade against local separatist armed forces. The first one to bear the brunt was the Kokang Army.

After occupying the Kokang area, the Myanmar National Defense Force invested a large number of troops to maintain stability in the area and began to attack the Kachin Army in northern Myanmar.

However, the Kokang Army has not solved all the problems, and some Kokang troops are still fighting guerrillas in the mountains and forests. Until now, the defense forces’ battle losses in the Kokang area have exceeded 1,500 people.

You must know that the Kokang Army has less than 2,000 people.

The Kachin Army in northern Myanmar is also constantly attacking the military strongholds of the National Defense Forces. The fighting between the two sides in northern Myanmar has been going on for more than a year.

At this time, news suddenly came from the Wa State that the Kingdom of Siam was crossing the border in large numbers, and Min Donglai was still very worried.

However, according to diplomatic notes and intelligence collection from all parties in Siam, there is no sign of large-scale mobilization of Siamese troops.

Mindong Lai has also fought against local separatist warlords and knows what kind of troops are needed to defeat them in the mountainous areas. Therefore, he now suspects that the Wa State is passing on false information.

The purpose is to allow the National Defense Forces to deploy troops to defend the Kingdom of Siam, so that military operations in northern Myanmar can only be suspended, and the Kachin Army can get a chance to breathe. The Kachin Army can even take the opportunity to launch a counterattack with the Kokang Army.

And local warlords like the Wa State are also happy to see the National Defense Forces overwhelmed, otherwise when the Kokang Army and the Kachin Army fall, they will be next.

Intelligence Minister Mo Thong said: “According to the report from Wu Mengtai of the Eastern Shan State Autonomous Region, fighting did occur in the South Wa State Special Administrative Region a few days ago, and some refugees fled into Jingdong. At the same time, Wei Tianze also contacted him and provided Some information.”

“But the intelligence is limited. Wu Mengtai only knows that one army occupied two counties in the Southern Wa State Special Administrative Region. The Wei Tianze brothers withdrew into the Mengjiu area after losing one division of troops and are still resisting.”

“In addition, intelligence came from our consulates in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai provinces in Siam that gunfire was indeed heard in the border areas, and some refugees who escaped from the South Wa State Army also confirmed the fact that fighting is ongoing in the South Wa State Special Administrative Region. ”

Following Mo Tong’s report, Min Donglai gradually frowned, and his eyes under the lenses fell into deep thought.

The Kingdom of Siam is currently holding general elections. The Siamese military is competing for power with the Democratic Party. There is no possibility of provoking a conflict because once it enters a wartime state, the current government will automatically continue to be in power unless the military prepares to launch a coup.

Even if the Siamese military wants to cross the border, it is best to use external force to divert internal conflicts after winning the election or launching a military coup to take power.

Just like launching a military coup and then attacking local warlords to divert internal conflicts.

As for Laos… Min Donglai didn’t think Laos had such capabilities.

There is even less reason for the Dragon Kingdom in the north.

So, who is beating the bastard Wei Tianze?

Mindonglai served as the commander of the 44th Infantry Division back then, led his troops to participate in the battle of the Mongolian and Thai troops against Kunsha, and had brief contact with the Wei Tianze brothers.

He also knew the terrain of the Golden Triangle area. He was definitely not an ordinary warlord who could defeat the Southern Wa Army, which was good at jungle warfare, so badly.

“Is it possible that there is internal strife in the Southern Wa State Army?” At this time, Chief of General Staff Mrauk U put forward a guess.
