Now, in addition to northern Myanmar and Kayin State, their Great Han Empire has gained three more provinces. With this one battle alone, they have directly taken control of half of Myanmar's territory.
This speed is unprecedented, and the fruits of war are also very tempting.
That's half of Myanmar!
Their Great Han Empire is finally about to become truly powerful, both in terms of economic and military strength, and in terms of territorial expansion.
095. The British Prime Minister's outrageous talk of sending troops to northern Burma—does he really think they're the Qing Dynasty? (Please subscribe)
Even in Southeast Asia, the Han Empire now has a certain degree of influence.
Although Myanmar still exists, no one knows how long their kingdom will last.
"That's right, Your Majesty."
Su Qidu seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly said to Qi Tongwei with a respectful expression.
“We captured quite a few Burmese military officers this time, including a major general. I had them all brought back and presented them to Your Majesty.”
Major General!
Qi Tongwei was slightly surprised.
A major general in the Burmese army holds a high position, and the fact that one of them was captured at the very beginning of the war would be a huge blow to the Burmese army if word got out.
Qi Tongwei decided to make a big deal out of this matter.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Su Qidu and said in a deep voice.
"You hand them over to Lu Bingkun, and I will tell Lu Bingkun what to do."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
Soon, the news that the Great Han Empire and the Burmese army had officially gone to war, and that the Great Han Empire had captured three Burmese territories and completely occupied three Burmese provinces in a very short time, spread throughout the world!
This incident caused a huge sensation and shock worldwide!
Naypyidaw, Presidential Palace.
This place is now in complete chaos.
Because a terrifying message quickly spread throughout Myanmar.
The Great Han Empire launched a full-scale offensive against the Burmese army. Relying on the surprise attacks of several airborne divisions, it quickly captured the military camps of the Burmese army in three provinces in a very short period of time, and directly brought the three provinces under its control.
This is absolutely terrifying!
5. In the office.
(vii) Aung San looked at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.
6. In the newspaper.
(vi) Qi Tongwei stood proudly, exuding an aura of majesty and domineering power. Coupled with his dragon robe, he gave people the feeling of being the supreme ruler.
3. In front of Qi Tongwei, a figure knelt on the ground, looking like a stray dog, forming a stark contrast with Qi Tongwei.
Aung San naturally recognized this person; it was none other than Major General Long Lin, on whom he had placed high hopes!
Si Longlin is quite capable, and what's most commendable is that the other party is a pro-war faction and stands on his side.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Han Empire from invading, he specially sent Longlin to the front line to guard it, so as not to let the Han Empire's army invade their territory in the slightest.
The three provinces where Xiao Longlin was stationed were very close to the territory of the Great Han Empire. In order to defend the country, Aung San specially arranged for 100,000 troops to be under Longlin's command.
In his view, with such a force guarding the area, Qi Tongwei would have to think twice before attacking.
Q But he never expected that his seemingly foolproof plan would be so vulnerable in the face of the Great Han Empire!
Even their commander-in-chief was captured, which shows how incompetent the Burmese army is!
What angered Aung San most was that in this newspaper, Qi Tongwei, in his capacity as Emperor of the Great Han Empire, openly addressed him, demanding that he submit to the emperor.
This is a blatant insult!
Qi Tongwei's rise to power was illegitimate; Aung San Suu Kyi is the rightful ruler, and Myanmar is the official government!
Qi Tongwei's tone was extremely arrogant!
Judging from what he said in the newspaper, he doesn't take Myanmar seriously at all.
Stab it!
Aung San Suu Kyi angrily tore the newspaper in his hand into shreds, scattering the scraps all over the ground.
He still seemed a little angry, and stomped hard on the scraps of paper scattered on the ground a few more times!
"Qi Tongwei!"
"You have occupied my land, and I, Aung San Suu Kyi, will never let you get away with this!"
Although he was venting his anger, if you looked closely, you could see that in addition to anger, there was also a hint of unconcealed fear in his eyes!
The strength of the Han Empire's army far exceeded his imagination.
One hundred thousand soldiers were reduced to ashes!
Moreover, they lost more than half of their territory in this battle. If they cannot reverse the decline, they may continue to lose territory until they are destroyed!
The thought of destroying his country sent a chill down Aung San's spine!
Decades ago, they were colonized by Britain, which was the darkest moment in their national history. All their people lost their human rights and suffered endless misery.
They struggled and fought for decades to escape their colonial status. Is the wheel of history about to turn again?
Are they going to be colonized by the Han Empire?
"No! Absolutely not!"
Aung San's face turned deathly pale at the thought of the consequences.
He decided to convene a presidential meeting immediately.
"Someone, call a meeting! Anyone who dares not to come will be shot on sight!"
……
In the conference room.
Aung San sat in the main seat, looking at the others with a gloomy expression, and let out a heavy snort.
"You should all know what happened in the three provinces of Irrawaddy, right?"
"Tell me, what should we do now?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had long been terrified by the power of the Han Empire, and now any normal person understands this.
They had no chance of winning against such a powerful Han Empire!
even.
As early as half a month ago, they had already lost the right to challenge the Great Han Empire!
Now, they don't know what else to do but remain silent!
Seeing that no one spoke, just like before, Aung San was furious!
And this time, the anger that had been building up in his heart finally erupted completely!
"If the public were to see your true colors now, think carefully about how they would react?"
"Our Myanmar is about to perish, and you all act like nothing's wrong, like it's none of your business? Is this Myanmar that belongs to me alone?"
"Hmph, once the country is destroyed, our entire Myanmar will become a colony of the Great Han Empire. Do you think you high-ranking officials will have a good life then?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone's expression finally changed.
Yes!
The president is right. If the country were to truly perish, the Great Han Empire would certainly not treat them well!
This is beyond doubt!
Before this, they could confidently say that they owned most of Myanmar, could contend with the Han, and could rest easy and continue to live in peace with the other side.
But now, with the surprise attack launched by the Han Empire, they have lost three provinces, and now half of their territory is in the hands of the Han Empire.
If they don't wake up now, they're probably not far from the destruction of their country!
After all, they had already lost 100,000 troops, and now their army numbered only about 300,000.
In terms of sheer numbers of troops, the Han Empire was already nearly as large as them.
hiss!
Everyone realized their current predicament, and they all secretly gasped!
So the situation has gotten this bad?
Prime Minister Min Aung looked at Aung San and said in a deep voice.
"President, the situation is indeed not optimistic for us. The strength of the Han Empire has exceeded our imagination. If we rely solely on military force, we are afraid we will no longer be able to suppress the Han Empire."
"Therefore, I think we need to find other ways to sanction Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire."
Upon hearing this, Aung San sneered and gave the other party a very dissatisfied look.
"Ming'ang, as the Prime Minister, you've been vague about this matter before, but now you've finally decided to speak out. That's really something!"
Although he is the president and wields considerable power, Prime Minister Min Ang also wields significant power.
He had wanted to wage war against the Han Empire several times before, but the anti-war faction led by Ming Ang stopped him, which allowed the Han Empire to continue to grow stronger.
Although he understood that even if they had sent troops earlier, it might not have changed anything, he still harbored resentment towards Ming Ang.
"Cough cough."
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Aung San's tone, Min Aung coughed a few times, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Mr. President, you are right. Our country has reached a critical moment. At this time, we should unite. We can talk about the unpleasant things that happened in the past later. Now, the most important thing is to discuss a feasible solution."
"Qi Tongwei has gone too far this time. We can no longer tolerate it. Otherwise, Myanmar will really lose face in the international community, and national extinction may be just around the corner."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else present nodded, clearly agreeing with him.
Seeing that Min Aung was sincere, Aung San understood that now was not the time to assign blame, but rather to unite and fight against the Great Han Empire.
Therefore, he stopped dwelling on the past.
"Prime Minister, do you have any good ideas?"
Aung San Suu Kyi asked in a deep voice.
Ming Ang pondered for a moment, a wise glint in his eyes, and slowly spoke.
"The Han Empire's invasion of our territory is a matter for our Myanmar, but it also concerns the entire Southeast Asian landscape. It is undeniable that the Han Empire has great potential. If we allow it to develop further, it will definitely affect the Southeast Asian landscape."
“We all know that those Western countries have a very strong desire to control Southeast Asia, and they have deep interests here. The rise of the Great Han Empire will certainly make them feel uneasy.”
"So I think we can use this to our advantage and make a big fuss internationally to seek support and help from Western countries. As things stand, this is the only way we can go."
⑨ Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Those Western countries are many times stronger than Myanmar, especially the United States and the United Kingdom, which have a lot of business dealings with Myanmar.
The Han Empire's invasion of their territory and its war of aggression have certainly damaged the interests of these countries.
If they exaggerate and emphasize the seriousness of the matter, these Western powers might actually get involved.
(iv) With the intervention of these foreign powers, they believed that Qi Tongwei would definitely restrain himself.
Third, it is not impossible that the occupied territories may even be returned.
After thinking about it for a while, San Angshan also felt that Ming Ang's suggestion was very feasible.
He pondered for a moment and then had an idea.
"Alright, since Prime Minister Min Ang has said so, then let's give it a try. Prime Minister Min Ang, since this suggestion was made by you, then I'll leave it to you to take charge of. Is that alright?"
So Aung San said in a deep voice.
Somingang's expression froze.
Q Aung San's words suddenly made him feel like he had shot himself in the foot.
