Chapter 213: Split

Xie Li was shocked when he heard the person say his name, and asked quickly: "Which Bomia, is it the Bomia in the "Karen National League"?
The man took a deep look at Xie Li, and replied, "Yes, I am Bomi."
Others don't know that Xie Li is one of the core members in the team. How can I know that this Bomiya is the current chairman of the "Karen National League"!
Xie Li didn't dare to neglect when he heard the man admitting his identity, and he quickly separated the crowd, mixed up the man's arm, and said repeatedly: "This is not a place to talk, Bomia, come to my cabin and talk." Then Loudly instructed everyone: "Strengthen vigilance and pay special attention to the movement on the watching river."
Seeing that their head was so solemn, everyone knew that something extraordinary had happened, so they broke up and returned to their posts. Lin Shuangxi arranged for two fighters to follow Xie Li and wait for them. After entering the hatch, they stood at the door one by one.
The two entered the cabin and sat down separately, and Xie Li asked, "Chairman Bomia, what happened, why did you make it like this?"
Chief Bomiya did not answer first, but asked, "Little brother, who are you? How do you know my name and identity?"
Xie Li hurriedly explained: "Chairman Bomiya, I do not hide it from you. We are a team of the Communist Party of Burma. We came here to perform a special task. I heard of your name when I was in the base area before, so As soon as you said it, I remembered it, let’s not talk about us, let’s talk about your situation first."
I heard that it was the team of the Communist Party of Burma. Bomiya put down half of his worries. Although the Karen National League and the Communist Party of Burma did not have many contacts and signed any offensive and defensive alliances, after all, everyone was fighting the government forces in Burma. At least they have common enemies, and they don’t want to betray themselves easily, so they sighed: "This is our internal insecurity, which makes people laugh." So he told Xie Li the whole story. .
After listening to Xie Li, he realized that feelings, the "Karen National Union" had split.
Different from other civilian weapons in Myanmar, the "Karen National Alliance" and its affiliated Karen National Liberation Army originated from the 19th century British colonists’ national checks and balances in Myanmar. They cultivated and reused Karen armed forces. Not only did it have its own armed regime, it also became the main force of its army. During the Japanese occupation of Burmese jade, the Karen armed forces also became an important force for the British army to resist the Japanese.
After Myanmar Jade became independent in 1948, the Karen Union took up arms to fight for national autonomy and equality from the Myanmar Jade government, but repeatedly rejected and suppressed it. Because of its special relationship with Britain, the alliance and its armed forces have always carried traces of Western supporters in their words and deeds.
For example, at the Panglong Conference in 1947, the Karen tribe did not send representatives to attend at all, because they considered themselves a member of Britain, and in the mobile schools run by the Karen tribe, English has always been regarded as a non-native language. In addition, the most important teaching subject, of course, some senior leaders are proficient in Chinese. After all, Chinese is also one of the common languages ​​in Burmese.
However, the internal division is also due to this.
The Karen tribe originally originated in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. Their beliefs belonged to a branch of Buddhism. The armed forces established were also called the "Karen Buddhist Army". However, in the process of attaching themselves to Britain, many elites chose to become Christians. In addition, an armed force called the "Karen Christian Army" was established. When the Burmese army exerted great military pressure on the Karen tribe, these people could work together in harmony and unite outward under the banner of the "Karen National Liberation Army." The army recently adopted the practice of pulling one faction against one faction, and the Karen armed forces suddenly fell into division.
Among them, the faction belonging to the "Buddhist Army" advocates cooperating with government forces in exchange for political gains, while the faction belonging to the "Christian Army" advocates resolute resistance. As the chairman of the party, Bomi Ya originally belonged to the "Christian Army." This faction, however, out of consideration for the future of the nation as a whole, he tried to recombine the forces of the two factions into one. For this reason, he took a risk and took only a few guards to go north with the leader of the "Buddhist Army" faction. Surabey started negotiations, hoping to reach a consensus.
However, what he never expected was that he encountered the ambush of the Burmese army before he reached his destination. The two sides fought a lot, but the other side was obviously well prepared and brought a lot of heavy weapons, and the number of people was also dominant. They resisted and retreated all the way to the river, finally grabbing a boat and preparing to go down the river to their base. Unexpectedly, a Burmese army patrol was also arranged on the river. Their boat was also sunk, and all the members were already Sacrifice, if it weren't for Bomiya's chance to be saved by Xie Li, he would have been wiped out.
After listening to Bomiya's story, Xie Li immediately came to the same conclusion as Bomiya's.
There is no doubt that Bomiya’s encounter with the Burmese army this time must be a trap. It was the result of Surabey and the Burmese army betraying Bomiya. Otherwise, it cannot be explained that the Burmese army dared to send people across the Salween River in the east. The shore is ambush, and there is no way to explain that the traditionally lazy Burmese army actually patrols on the Salween River. They only hide in the fortification bunker on the west bank.
So he asked Bomia: "Mr. Chairman, I know you must be anxious to return to your team, but I also have a special mission, and it is impossible to go back downstream. Or, you may follow us until we Go back to the base area and contact your comrades to pick you up, or go to Wansala and disembark yourself. There is a village in Mengdong in Wansala. You can hire a papaya boat downstream there. The leader of that village is not Will take care of your identity, as long as you have money."
Bomia nodded and said, "I still hope I can disembark in Wansala so that I can go back quickly. My people must be very worried now, but I have no money right now?"
Xie Li smiled and said, "Mr. Chairman, didn't you say that just now?"
Bomia said sharply: "What I said is right. If you can really send me to Hpa-an, my team will naturally pay you when they receive me, but I am now alone in Wansala, this, this... "
Xie Li smiled and said, "It's not difficult. I'll pay for your ship when that happens."
Bomia said gratefully: "Thank you so much, by the way, I don't know your identity yet."
Xie Li smiled and said: "My name is Xie Li, I am the captain of this small team." He kept his heart, only said his name without explaining all his identities, even though Bomiya told him the truth. , But facing such a person, there is always no harm in being careful.
Bomiya once again expressed his gratitude to Xie Li, and then said with concern: "Captain Xie, I am worried that you may not be safe on the way up the river. Since the "Buddhist Army" and the Burmese Army have openly colluded. Together, the east and west sides of the Salween River will not be safe. Your ship is so big and the goal is too obvious. I am afraid that there will be trouble then."
Xie Li touched his chin and sank for a while and said: "What you said makes sense, but my ship is heavy-loaded and cannot be unloaded without a suitable dock. Moreover, even if there is a place for us to unload, it depends on the few people on our ship. , There is no way to move so many things away. This is troublesome."
While the two were talking, when someone knocked on the cabin door, Xie Li replied, "Come in."
The hatch opened, and Lin Shuangxi came in.
He first glanced at Bomia who was sitting on the side, then walked next to Xie Li, leaned down and muttered a few words in his ear, Xie Li frowned and raised his eyes to Bomia.
Bomi Ya didn't want to inquire about other people's team, but Xie Li looked at him with weird eyes. It was obvious that the person who came in and reported the situation was related to him. He couldn't help asking: "Captain Xie, what happened? Is it related to me?"
Xie Li took a deep look at him and slowly replied: "There are a few small boats blocking the road ahead, claiming to be a team of the "Karen National Liberation Army", claiming that they are chasing a traitor who surrendered to the Burmese army and want to board our ship. search."
Hearing this, Bomia's face changed drastically.
