Chapter 426: The Consulate Bombed (8)
The Northern Shan Army was not idle during the ceasefire period. Through intensified training, its combat effectiveness soared.
At the same time, the five combat brigades were expanded to seven within the past six months. In addition, 100,000 militiamen were recruited.
Among them, there are two brigades in the Kokang Autonomous Region and five combat brigades in the mainland.
The Kokang Autonomous Region dispatched one combat brigade, led by Siwa, while the Wanhai Headquarters dispatched three combat brigades, led by Dakai.
Since these four combat brigades joined the battle, the situation began to turn around.
In just 7 days, the four areas of "Pengxian", "Menggu", "Jiugu" and "Manghui" were recovered.
After 15 days, with the help of internal and external forces, the siege of Lashio was lifted and the three brother armies that besieged the city were forced to leave.
The remaining Burmese troops also withdrew completely after a month of rest, and the Northern Shan Army announced in a high-profile manner that it would take over Lashio.
On May 10, 24, the three brother armies completely withdrew their troops from the northeastern part of North Shan.
The actual area occupied by the Shan State Army-North has almost doubled.
However, the three allied forces did not give up. Some of them retreated to the occupied Nawchu and Kyaukme, while others joined forces with the People's Defense Forces to attack Mandalay Province.
“Boom—”
A huge explosion sounded, and Zhao Jing screamed in fear. She crawled to Jiang Ningyue and said, "Leader, there are shells coming. Let's go to the basement and hide."
At this moment, Jiang Ningyue was lying on a recliner reading a book. The huge impact of the explosion caused a large amount of dust to fall on the walls of the consulate general.
Jiang Ningyue remained calm, dusting herself off and grumbling, "This Burmese army is such a loser! They even let their artillery shells fall on Mandalay."
"Leader." Zhao Jing stood in front of Jiang Ningyue, and the fear in her eyes gradually faded away.
Jiang Ningyue frowned and glanced around. "Have someone sweep this room later. Oh, and have Chen Xuan contact the People's Defense Army and the De'ang Army and ask them if they want to go to war with us? If so, we can satisfy them!"
"yes!"
Zhao Jing went downstairs immediately.
Not long after, Lai Min called. "Consul General, are you okay? I heard the Mandalay Consulate General was bombed."
"It wasn't bombed."
Jiang Ningyue said matter-of-factly, "A shell landed near our consulate, and we were affected."
"Are the consulate staff all right? Are there any casualties?"
"No."
Hearing Jiang Ningyue's words, Lai Min couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiang Ningyue jokingly said with a slight smile, "General, the Northern Shan Army has helped you share some of the pressure. But it seems that the Burmese Army is still in a very passive situation."
"hehe."
Lai Min laughed after hearing this. "Don't worry, Consul General. I have a solution. It's just a small problem."
"Oh? What's the solution?"
Jiang Ningyue was a little curious as to why Lai Min was still so proud in this situation.
You know, Mandalay is the second largest city in Myanmar. If Mandalay falls, Lai Min will most likely become the head of the exiled government.
Could it be that Lai Min bought some top-notch weapons, like thousands of missiles or something like that?
"I have invited your country's Qian Ju Committee to mediate."
There was a hint of pride in Lai Min's tone.
Jiang Ningyue was at a loss for words. If you can’t beat them, just call for help, right? Okay, okay.
"Okay, did Commissioner Qian accept it?"
"We are in communication."
"Well, good luck to you."
What else could Jiang Ningyue say?
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ningyue went downstairs, followed closely by Zhou Yan and Tang Lu. At this time, a large number of troops had arrived near the consulate general and were setting up barbed wire.
Seeing Jiang Ningyue coming out, the consulate security personnel immediately became alert.
A staff member of the consulate came over and said, "Consulate General, it's not a shell, it's a bomb thrown by someone."
"Did you throw a bomb?"
Jiang Ningyue was a little confused. What was the purpose of throwing a bomb at the Mandalay Consulate General at this time?
What’s the point?
Could it be the CIA?
It's all boring.
Major General Mok of the Mandalay Military Region immediately walked up to Jiang Ningyue and saluted.
"Your Excellency the Consul General, are you okay?"
"fine."
Jiang Ningyue looked around and saw that a street-facing shop near the consulate general had been bombed. Since it was less than 10 meters away from the consulate general, there was no doubt that the consulate general was also affected.
At this moment, government officials are organizing disaster relief efforts.
"What on earth is going on?"
"We don't know yet, we're still investigating."
Mok said awkwardly, "But don't worry, this will never happen again. We are installing barbed wire around the consulate general, and from now on, we will also station a battalion of troops near you to protect your safety."
"There's no need for a garrison."
Jiang Ningyue refused, "With this much manpower, you should focus on how to repel the enemy."
Mok: “Yes.”
At this time, Shen Xuan from the Consulate General came over and whispered, "Consulate General, the People's Defense Army and the Deang Army said it was not them who did it."
Mok sneered, "If they didn't do it, then did we do it?"
Shen Xuan smiled and said, "General Moke, they just said that this was directed and acted by you."
"What nonsense!"
Mok was so angry that his face turned red.
"never mind."
Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "I'll have someone investigate this matter. General Moke, please do as you please."
"Yes, I'm leaving." Mok waved his hand and left with the army.
On the same day, the People's Defense Force and the Deang Army publicly stated in a Chinese notice that the incident had nothing to do with them.
After learning about this, Pashan loudly declared that it was the Deang Army that did it. After all, the Deang Army has a history of crimes.
The angry Deang Army posted several messages online just to curse Pashan.
Pashan is much more powerful now. In the past, he was undoubtedly the last in Shan State in terms of military strength in Northern Shan.
But now, the Northern Shan Army has become the undisputed number one warlord in Shan State.
Even Southern Shan State came forward to ease relations with Pasan, hoping to rely on Pasan to resolve security issues within Southern Shan State.
However, Pashan did not have the energy to take care of southern Shan State. After learning that Dongda was about to mediate, he wanted to take advantage of this last opportunity to occupy more territory.
On May 17, northeastern Shan State completely returned to the situation before the war.
However, all the territories that originally belonged to the Myanmar Army were transferred to Northern Shan State.
After taking over such a large territory in one go, Pashan immediately announced that he would stop expanding and start stabilizing the situation.
Follow the rules and crack down on gangsters and evil.
Except for the necessary troops at the border, the remaining militia and army began to arrest criminals.
Those who traffic in drugs and people will be shot to death.
The leader of the cyber fraud was also shot dead.
The rest of the people went to work in the prison, and during the war, the arsenal was so busy that it could not cope with the workload.
Even if the Northern Shan Army cannot use it all, they can still sell it.
What? Can't work?
Then sell blood!
