Chapter 429 Mediation (11)
The Qian Bureau Committee stayed in Naypyidaw for two and a half days before heading to Bangkok, Siam.
Lai Min did not get a satisfactory result from the Qian Bureau Committee, so he had no choice but to decide to visit China.
After hearing that the University of Tokyo was coming to mediate, all sides intensified their attacks.
They want to fight for more territory before the University of Tokyo mediates, so that there will be more negotiations and mediation.
Before leaving, Jiang Ningyue went to see General Lai Min.
There were no outsiders in the huge office, only Lai Min, Jiang Ningyue and several security personnel.
Lai Min looked at Jiang Ningyue helplessly, his eyes filled with fatigue. "Consul General, the situation in Mandalay is not optimistic right now. Although these rebels can't occupy it even if they attack, if the rebels really attack Mandalay, it will be a disaster for this second largest city in Myanmar!"
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "General, I'm here to bring you good news. How about a joint military operation between the Burmese Army and the Northern Shan Army? Let's strike a heavy blow against the arrogance of the rebels!"
Lai Min narrowed his eyes, "Really?"
"certainly."
Jiang Ningyue nodded and said, "Please inform someone and communicate with Pashan about the specific situation."
"good."
After Jiang Ningyue left, she called Pashan and asked, "Pashan, how are your preparations going?"
"no problem."
During this period of rest, Pashan purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment, and was fully capable of sustaining a war.
"Then let's get started."
June 20th.
The Burmese Army and the Northern Shan Army launched a joint operation, attacking the joint forces from both sides.
At this moment, Jiang Ningyue took leave and flew back to China. The reason was simple - Zhao Rao graduated from university.
On the 23rd, after flying back to Haizhou, Jiang Ningyue did not tell Zhao Rao in advance, but instead took Li Chunyan's special car to Haizhou University. The guard at Haizhou University saw the words "official vehicle" and the level of the car and immediately let her pass.
When we arrived at the auditorium, the graduation ceremony had already begun.
Jiang Ningyue casually asked a parent, "Which department are you in now?"
"Chinese Department."
"Oh. Soon."
Jiang Ningyue murmured.
The parent looked at Jiang Ningyue suspiciously, "Your voice sounds familiar. Are you the host?"
"Haha, that's what everyone says."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and fooled around.
The parent looked at this weirdo who wore sunglasses even indoors with confusion, but then her child came on stage and she quickly said:
"That's my child."
"Wow, it's beautiful."
Jiang Ningyue praised with a smile, but Jiang Ningyue also noticed that Zhao Rao was in this row.
On the stage, Zhao Rao had a bright smile on her face as the tassels were turned and degree certificates and graduation certificates were awarded.
When she was leaving the stage, her classmates excitedly pulled Zhao Rao and said, "Look, that's my mother."
"Yeah." Zhao Rao looked in the direction with some envy, only to find a familiar figure.
Zhao Rao rubbed her eyes, unable to believe it.
Zhao Rao didn't tell Jiang Ningyue about the graduation ceremony because she knew that Jiang Ningyue was busy with national affairs. How could she have time to attend her small graduation ceremony?
Zhao Rao simply didn't tell Jiang Ningyue about this matter, so as not to cause her any unnecessary trouble.
"Stupid?"
Jiang Ningyue walked up to Zhao Rao with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"
"Sister~it's really you."
Zhao Rao was so excited that she wanted to cry. Although she was very happy, her eyes were wet and she hugged Jiang Ningyue.
"Hey, is this your sister?"
The classmates looked at Zhao Rao curiously, and were somewhat confused about her behavior.
Isn't it just seeing your sister? Is it necessary to be so excited?
As Zhao Rao's roommate and best friend, she also knew that Zhao Rao's parents were both dead and it was her sister who gave her money to go to college.
However, she didn't know more.
Although Zhao Rao was usually frugal, she wasn't living to the point of not being able to make ends meet. Her cell phones, computers, and other electronic gadgets were all high-end.
Occasionally, she would take some photos of traveling in the capital, so no one thought Zhao Rao was any different.
"Wang Xuan, this is my sister."
Zhao Rao wiped her tears and came to her roommate and best friend, "Sister, this is my best friend Wang Xuan."
"Hello."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and nodded at Wang Yao.
Wang Xuan asked curiously, "Sister, why do you wear sunglasses even in the gym?"
"You can pick it off, but it will be very troublesome."
Jiang Ningyue took off her sunglasses with a smile. Wang Xuan was stunned for three seconds and let out a scream like a kettle boiling.
Everyone around looked over, Zhao Rao immediately covered Wang Xuan's mouth, and Jiang Ningyue put on her sunglasses again as expected.
"Jiang Ningyue (indistinct)?!" Wang Xuan couldn't believe her eyes. She pulled Zhao Rao's hand away and shook her sister's shoulders frantically, "You didn't say your sister was Jiang Ningyue!"
"Keep your voice down!"
Zhao Rao glanced around and saw that many people were already paying attention to the place. Zhao Rao immediately pulled Wang Xuan away from the gymnasium. It took a while for Wang Xuan to calm down.
However, after calming down, he just held Jiang Ningyue's hand and refused to let go. "You are Zhao Rao's sister, so if you round it up, you are also my biological sister. Sister, can we take a photo together? I'll post it on WeChat Moments."
"Let's all go together."
Jiang Ningyue neither refused nor agreed.
"Okay~"
Wang Xuan's mother took out her cell phone and took a photo of Jiang Ningyue and the other two.
Wang Xuan took a look at it on her phone and sighed, "This beauty is completely unedited. How terrifying!"
After Zhao Rao's joy faded, she looked at Jiang Ningyue with some embarrassment, "Sister, won't this affect your work?"
"fine."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "I'm not that important."
"Who said that? People have said it online..."
"Okay, let's read less marketing accounts."
Jiang Ningyue interrupted Zhao Rao with a smile, "By the way, when will you enroll in the graduate school you mentioned?"
"September."
Zhao Rao said, "When the time comes, you can just go directly to Capital University."
In October last year, Zhao Rao passed the application for guaranteed admission to Capital University and could become classmates with Fu Wenyi (Li Chunyan's daughter).
"Oh, so are you going home this summer or living in the capital?"
"Sister, can I go to Myanmar with you?"
Zhao Rao asked, blinking her big eyes.
"Don't even think about it."
Jiang Ningyue decisively refused.
Family members of diplomats were allowed to live and visit relatives according to regulations, but Myanmar was an unsafe place. There was no point in keeping Zhao Rao confined to the consulate every day, so Jiang Ningyue wouldn't agree.
"Sister~ I want to live with you~" Zhao Rao tried to act coquettishly.
"No means no."
Jiang Ningyue refused very firmly.
"All right."
Zhao Rao gave up and said, "Then I'll go home and live for a month, and then go to the capital."
"Well, if you have any questions in the capital, you can call me or talk to your sister Gu Meng."
"Gu Meng?"
Wang Xuan came closer again, "Xiao Rao, can I meet Gu Meng? I've been her fan for ten years."
Zhao Rao nodded helplessly, "Okay, but Sister Meng may not be free."
"It's okay, I'm always on call."
Jiang Ningyue watched all this with a smile, and then everyone had a meal together. Jiang Ningyue stayed with Zhao Rao in Haining for another night. The next day, she sent Zhao Rao to the airport, and she also flew back to Mandalay.
On July 1, Jiaomei and Nauqiu were recaptured by the Northern Shan Army.
The Northern Shan Army's fierce military style and fearless fighting spirit deeply shocked the People's Defense Army, which had just been established for three years.
In order to curb the arrogance of the Northern Shan Army, the People's Defense Army specially organized a force of more than 10,000 people to encircle the Northern Shan Army.
A force of over 10,000 people could be considered a "large-scale operation" in Myanmar. After all, Myanmar's warlords often have only a few thousand active troops, and the 30,000 troops in Wa State are considered a major force.
However, within just a few days, these 10,000 people were divided into two groups and surrounded by the Northern Shan Army.
In most wars in the world where the few defeat the many, the enemy is divided into small pieces and devoured separately.
The commander-in-chief of this military operation, 'Dakai', was an expert in this field. His sophisticated tactics made it impossible for the People's Defense Army to raise their heads.
The defending army, which originally wanted to encircle and suppress the Northern Shan Army, could only passively defend and fight positional warfare in order to slightly slow down the progress of the Northern Shan Army.
On July 16, the anti-government forces were defeated by the Northern Shan Army, and the passage between Lashio and Mandalay was reopened after many months.
Against this backdrop, on July 20, the Myanmar general came to Min to visit China.
On July 23, the East University invited representatives of the Myanmar Army, the People's Defense Forces, the Northern Shan Army, the Arakan Army, the Kokang Alliance Army, the Wa State and other forces to Kunming, Yunnan Province, for peace talks.
Jiang Ningyue was also invited to attend the peace talks.
However, she did not participate in the peace talks, but instead spent some time wandering around Kunming.
I've been stuck in Mandalay for too long, I must go out and have a good time when I get back home.
First, Jiang Ningyue, Chen Xuan, Zhao Jing and others came to a Chongqing hotpot restaurant in Kunming.
After entering the private room, everyone was very enthusiastic and ordered dishes one after another.
It’s not that there’s no Chongqing hotpot in Mandalay, but Mandalay is really not very safe. Although Jiang Ningyue dared, the people in the consulate general didn’t dare let her go out for hotpot.
Whenever I want to eat, I eat in the cafeteria of the consulate general, but eating this thing at home and eating it outside are two completely different feelings.
So, after arriving in Kunming, they first had a spicy meal to satisfy their cravings.
"tasty!"
Jiang Ningyue also gave a thumbs up, "I have to go back to China to eat this. It doesn't feel this way when I eat it there."
Everyone laughed.
Chen Xuan looked at Jiang Ningyue and said, "Leader, after this peace talk, you can take a vacation. During the Chinese New Year, you didn't stay long before you came back."
"Look."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "Both sides are willing to negotiate, but the specific method of negotiation will definitely require further discussion."
"If the rebels have the support of the Shan Army (North), they won't be able to gain any advantage in northern Myanmar."
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
Jiang Ningyue raised her glass, "Come on, cheers~"
"Cheers~"
After dinner, the group strolled around Kunming.
Once the China-Myanmar railway is fully connected, this city will surely become more prosperous.
Jiang Ningyue was wearing a baseball cap and casual clothes as she walked down the street with the others. When passersby saw Jiang Ningyue, they didn't even react at first.
After all, even when the Mandalay Consulate General was bombed last time, Jiang Ningyue did not come forward for an interview.
The most recent time he appeared on the big screen was probably when Commissioner Qian visited Myanmar, and he sat near Commissioner Qian as a background board.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ningyue showed up again.
But most people didn't come over.
After all, there were many plainclothes officers following Jiang Ningyue, and anyone who wanted to get close was stopped by the plainclothes officers.
After walking around, Jiang Ningyue felt bored and returned to the hotel.
However, after returning to the hotel, Jiang Ningyue put on a little disguise. Amidst the astonished looks of Shen Xuan, Zhao Jing, and the others, she walked out of the hotel again.
This time, no one actually 'saluted'.
"How does this work?"
Zhou Yan was confused.
Jiang Ningyue explained with a smile, "You're not someone I know, so how could I recognize you at first sight even though you're in disguise?"
"That makes sense."
Since you don’t understand, then what the leader says must be right.
While Jiang Ningyue and others were happily shopping, various forces were either watching coldly, or slamming the table and glaring, or pointing at their noses and cursing.
If it weren't for the Todai representatives maintaining order, a fight might have broken out.
A 'gunfight' took place on the scene.
After returning to the hotel, Jiang Ningyue learned the news and curiously asked the staff who attended the peace talks,
"Who caused the quarrel?"
The staff member pondered for a moment, a headache in his heart. "Both. The YPG demands the military government release imprisoned politicians and hold new elections. The military government demands the YPG disband."
"puff--"
Jiang Ningyue couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this.
"These two sides are really asking for too much."
"yes."
The staff member nodded helplessly, "I guess this peace talk has ended in failure."
"It's hard to say."
Jiang Ningyue commented, "Neither the Myanmar Army nor the People's Defense Forces want to continue fighting for the time being. Of Myanmar's 330 towns, the Myanmar Army controls only 110. Why would they fight? They definitely want to negotiate, but they're just asking for an exorbitant price and then paying it back."
The Burmese army cannot be defeated for the time being, as he still has more than 300,000 troops in his hands.
However, the Myanmar Army cannot win either. Their combat effectiveness is too weak. Moreover, Myanmar is mountainous, making it difficult for the Myanmar Army to exchange troops with the rebels on a one-for-one basis.
