Chapter 1404: Final choice

Than Shwe was recognized as the first Titan in the Burmese army. He was promoted from a small platoon leader to general and the highest commander of the military region. He did not rely on nepotism and battalion, but actual combat achievements. The merits established in the wars with countless "civil-district martial arts", and the "back-basket army" under his command have made the "civil-district martial arts" change their colors.
However, the defeat of the Taigong in the 1983 battle and the tragic defeat outside the war town gave him a strong presence in the face of the "Myanmar Liberation Army" armed forces, strange tactics, and fierce fighting force. Psychological shadows.
This is a very difficult opponent to deal with, and has far superior tactical implementation capabilities and much more sophisticated weapons and equipment than ordinary "civil warriors" organizations.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to face it.
Now, this team blatantly put the gun to his throat, how can this not make him anxious and depressed?
For a commander, the most difficult thing is to judge the true tactical intention through the fog scattered by the opponent; because this is the basic starting point for formulating his own response strategy, but now, the opponent has adopted it very cunningly. The tactics of attracting but not sending made Than Shwe have no way of judging whether Xie Li's step was just showing off his force in order to gain a bargaining chip for the next negotiation, or really intending to attack Mandalay.
But the Burmese Jade Ministry of Defense, which received the same information, has already made a judgment and decision.
Judgments and decisions are very realistic, and no one can fault it—regardless of whether the "Myanmar Liberation Army" really wants to attack Mandalay, given the importance of the second largest city in Myanmar, the army must do it. A thorough preparation must be "fighting the enemy from the outside", and must not allow this possible war to interfere with the normal production and living order of Mandalay. Such losses are absolutely unbearable!
And this time, the Burmese jade government must take a tough stance, and must not show any weakness. If necessary, it must fully demonstrate its strength, get rid of the arrogance of its opponents, and promote peace through war!
This is a judgment and decision that occupies all the truth, and it is also in line with the tradition of the Burmese Jade Army. Than Shwe has no opinion on this judgment and decision itself, but there is another thing, which is sent along with the judgment and decision of the Ministry of National Defense. The other sentence of the article is embarrassing-Wu Qin Niu called and said that if the Central Military Region wants to preserve its strength and does not want to fight the "Myanmar Liberation Army", if this is the case, then please ask General Than Shwe to order , Get out of the way, let his Southern Military Region go north, let him fight this battle!
And it’s absolutely unambiguous. The Central Military Region has assembled 4 divisions with more than 30,000 troops, threatened to go north to reinforce Mandalay, and start with a mechanized division equipped with "59" tanks. , The striker has arrived near the control boundary of the southern and central military regions, less than 150 kilometers away from Mandalay!
To be honest, Than Shwe never believes that Wu Qin Nyunt will meet with the "Myanmar Liberation Army". In Myanmar jade politics, who doesn't know, whether it was during the former President U Nai Win or the current "NLD" cabinet. , The one in Yangon that has the deepest collusion with the various "mindi martial arts" is you, Wu Qin Nyunt. Your eldest son, Wu Jue Wen, has explicit or secret interests in Tai Gong Dang nickel mine and Mogok uranium mine. Say you It is not surprising that he will join forces with the "Myanmar Jiefang" to deal with him...
Damn, I finally know what's going on!
Suddenly, Dan Rui slammed a punch on the military map in front of him, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Wu Qin Niu, you are so cruel!"
By now, Than Shwe finally saw through everything-it was a conspiracy!
The "rupture" of the Yangon negotiations was only to lay the groundwork, and the friction created by other "civilian military" armed forces was to contain the power of other major military regions so that they did not dare to rashly adjust the power to reinforce his Central Military Region, The change of Xie Li's department is to make an excuse for Wu Qin Niu's troops to go north!
And his Than Shwe is now caught in the attack of the enemy on both sides!
An anger from the heart immediately filled Dan Rui's chest, making him even have the urge to let go of a fight without any consideration!
However, after all these years, the declining strengths made him know very clearly that he has no chance of winning this battle.
The benefits of monopolizing Taigong's nickel ore transportation and the easy life it brought about subtly eroded his fighting spirit.
He immediately sank weakly back into the chair.
The battlefield and the shroud of horse leather are the fate and glory of the warrior, but he is no longer just a warrior, and all his efforts are not in exchange for the glory that belongs only to the bravest warrior.
Not knowing why, he suddenly wanted to look in the mirror.
In the mirror was a dark and old face. Although he was less than 60 years old, his brows were sunken and his sideburns were white. Dan Rui knew that these were caused by his overexhaustion of energy and excessive thinking. On the way to chasing the highest power, he has exhausted his youth, Qingsi has turned his head, and his time is running out.
He stretched out his hand, touched his cheek, and tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly, sighing inwardly about the ruthlessness of the years, and an idea flashed through his mind involuntarily: perhaps, letting go of everything is also a good choice.
Than Shwe shut himself in the huge command room of the Central Military Region, quietly thinking about the battle sand table all night, and finally made his final decision.
He called the correspondent and issued an order in a low and hoarse voice: "Call the Ministry of National Defense and say that I need to talk to the three "seniors" about the current situation."
After a pause, he added with difficulty: "Tell them I will go to Yangon."
...
On September 12, 1990, Burmese Jade National Television released a brief message: Burmese Jade established the highest command body of the national armed forces-the Joint Committee of Chiefs of Staff. The first Chief of Staff of the Joint Council was General Su Maung. Admiral Su Maung resigned from the position of "counselor" at the same time; the former commander of the Central Military Region, General Dan Rui assumed the post of Deputy Chief of Staff of the "Joint Joint Council", and General Dan Rui resigned as the commander of the Central Military Region. The Supreme Commander of the Military Region, Admiral Wu Qin Niu, acted temporarily.
With the release of this news, the military and political circles in Burma suddenly became turbulent, especially the current leaders of the three military regions of the North, West, and East were plunged into deep hesitation - but they were very clear about one thing. Yes, it is time for them to make the final choice.
