Chapter 425 Chaos (7)
Lai Min was silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "I don't trust Pashan, but I trust you. Consul General, can you tell me what Pashan really wants?"
"The Northern Shan Army must be Northern Shan!"
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "General, you are asking even though you already know the answer."
"He has such a big appetite, he's not afraid of indigestion."
Lai Min said calmly, "The route from Mujie to Naoqiu is an important national route. I won't hand it over to him easily."
Jiang Ningyue sighed and said, "General, this is your country's internal affairs, and I shouldn't say too much. But your problem now is to suppress the rebellion. As long as the rebellion is successful, everything can be discussed later!"
"I'll think about it."
Lai Min hung up the phone.
After seeing Jiang Ningyue hang up the phone, Zhao Jing came over and said, "Leader, the bureau committee is calling."
Jiang Ningyue immediately picked up the phone. The secretary of the bureau committee member was on the other end of the line. After waiting for a few seconds, the bureau committee member took the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Jiang. What's the situation in northern Myanmar right now?"
"The bureau committee is still under control."
"Um."
Commissioner Qian continued, "The rebels' attack on Muse has severely impacted the lives of residents along the border. Someone suggested bringing all parties together and declaring that fighting on the border is prohibited."
Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment. If Dongda mediated now, her plan would definitely fail.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s just a few months early or late.
"I will follow the leader's arrangements." Jiang Ningyue replied.
Commissioner Qian asked, "What's your opinion?"
"My opinion?"
Jiang Ningyue said slowly, "The Burmese army is now showing signs of decline in its multi-front operations. While the country won't be destroyed, the successive loss of important cities will surely cause them great anxiety. Currently, it seems that Pashan is very willing to take over the Northern Shan region. Compared to Lai Min, Pashan is more willing to deepen cooperation with us. Therefore, I am still inclined to let Pashan take over the Northern Shan region, so that Lai Min can free up his energy to deal with other forces."
"Would Lai Min be willing to do that?" Commissioner Qian questioned. "Northern Shan is an important passage between China and Myanmar. Would he allow this passage to be handed over to someone else?"
“I think all of this is negotiable.”
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "He's unwilling now because he feels he still has everything under control. However, if Lashio, Muse, or even Jiaomei and Nauqiu fall one after another... then he'll have to accept it even if he doesn't want to."
"Peace talks are still necessary."
Commissioner Qian thought for a moment and said, "The Lunar New Year is coming soon. Let's wait until after the Spring Festival to discuss everything so as not to affect the people living in the border areas."
"yes."
Jiang Ningyue had no objection.
On January 13, under the mediation of the Eastern University, the Myanmar Army and the Three Brothers Alliance temporarily ceased fire, and the Myanmar Army finally had the energy to withdraw troops to fight the remaining rebels.
On March 11, the day when the dragon raises its head, the three brothers' alliance tore up the truce agreement and launched another fierce attack on Lashio, Muse, Kyaukme, Naukcho and other places.
This time the Three Brothers Alliance's offensive was fierce, and the bombs dropped by drones made it impossible for the Myanmar army to resist.
In just half a month, the entire northern Myanmar collapsed.
70% of Lashio fell, and Nawchu and Kyaukme fell! Although the troops attacking Muse have shown some restraint, the situation in Muse remains grim, and its fall is only a matter of time.
On March 27, the Northeast Command of Lashio had decided to break out.
The situation in East Shan is not optimistic either. The Wa State and East Shan Allied Forces have begun to send troops to occupy part of the territory in East Shan.
In this situation, Lai Min finally couldn't help it and called again.
"Consul General, I agree to your terms."
"It's not my condition, it's Prashan's condition."
Jiang Ningyue still refused to admit that she had any relationship with him. "If the general is interested, you can discuss it with Pashan in detail."
"I don't want to talk to him."
Lai Min said calmly, "Please ask the Consul General to tell Pashan that I agree with his opinion. Northern Shan is completely his. However, the ownership of the area from Muse to Naochu will be discussed again after the war. Consul General, you need to help guarantee this matter."
"Yes, General."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and replied, "I will tell General Pashan now."
As for the idea of "talking about it later," Jiang Ningyue didn't take it seriously at all. Once territory falls into someone else's hands, it's hard to get it back.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ningyue called Pashan.
Despite the chaos in northern Myanmar, Pashan spent his days gambling and drinking, completely bored. He imagined a certain faction suddenly declaring war on him and attacking him, and that he, in a righteous position, would directly launch an attack and take over all of their territory.
Unfortunately, everyone avoided Beishan's territory.
"Oh, so boring!"
Pashan yawned and pushed his chips forward. "All in!"
At this time, the subordinate brought the phone, "General, it's the Consul General's call."
"You guys play."
Pashan said this casually, stood up and answered the phone, "Your Excellency the Consul General, do you have any instructions?"
"Lai Min just spoke to me."
Jiang Ningyue said slowly, "He agreed to your request."
"real?"
Pashan asked in disbelief, "Does he recognize my rule over all areas of Northern Shan?"
"Yes." Jiang Ningyue said calmly.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Consul General, I know what to do."
Pashan hung up the phone and immediately laughed excitedly. Then he shouted outside, "Notify all mid-level and senior generals to assemble! Prepare for war!"
On March 28, the Northern Shan Freedom News website reported: [On the morning of October 13, 2024, there were updates on the attack on Consul General Jiang Ningyue of the Mandalay Consulate General! This incident was actually directed by the Ta'ang National Army (TNNA) at the direction of the CIA! (Video)]
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation internationally.
The Deang Army immediately denied the allegations, saying they were slander and fabricated evidence.
However, the evidence in the video is conclusive and the Deang Army cannot deny it at all.
However, this information seems to indicate that the Northern Shan Army is ready to use this as an excuse to join the war.
really.
On March 29, Pashan publicly announced through the Northern Shan Freedom News platform,
"The Ta'ang Liberation Army is a CIA-backed anti-government armed force. They are not seeking independence. They simply want to disrupt Myanmar! This can be seen from their attempt to murder the Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in Mandalay! I am deeply saddened by this incident in Northern Shan! Therefore, I officially declare that for the sake of justice, to drive the US-controlled forces out of Northern Shan, and to counter the allied forces' attack last year, our Northern Shan Army has decided to unite with the government forces and declare war on the Three Brothers Alliance!"
On the day the news was released, the Northern Shan Army split into two groups.
The army of Wanhai Base Camp began to march towards Lashio, and the army of Kokang Autonomous Region began to march towards Pengxian and Menggu.
