It now seems that the military might of their Great Han Empire has been thoroughly established, and no one dares to easily provoke their slaves.
091. Qi Tongwei launches a general offensive plan to completely unify and occupy Myanmar! (Please subscribe)
However, for Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire, this is far from enough!
Because they need to expand!
The negotiations with China went much more smoothly than expected. With very few exceptions, China was willing to sell them most of the weapons they needed, and even delivered them to their doorstep.
Qi Tongwei estimated that with this batch of weapons, once fully equipped, the Burmese army, those useless pieces of trash, would be nothing but paper in front of the army of their Great Han Empire, and could be wiped out at will.
Of course, he was not complacent because of this, but was even more eager to improve the overall strength of the country.
Because those Western countries are not to be trifled with.
If their Han Empire were to attract the attention of those Western powers and they were to send troops to attack it, it would be a very troublesome situation.
After all, those countries are very powerful in terms of both economic and military strength, which is incomparable to a weak country like Myanmar!
However, he wasn't particularly worried.
After all, he is currently only operating in northern Myanmar and has not yet touched the interests of those Western powers.
The current Great Han Empire has a land area that is only a quarter the size of Myanmar. In the eyes of those real big shots, it is nothing more than a small Karami.
That's good, the later those Western countries realize it, the better.
In this way, he could confidently free up his resources to gradually conquer Southeast Asia and strengthen the Han Empire.
By the time the Western powers realized what was happening, their Great Han Empire had already grown powerful, and it wouldn't be so easy for them to devour them.
Qi Tongwei summoned Lu Bingkun and Su Qidu.
"Lu Qing, Su Qing."
"This time we have reached a multi-faceted cooperation agreement with China. You must follow up as soon as possible and implement the specific details as quickly as possible."
"Especially in the military field, once the weapons that the Dragon Kingdom promised to sell us arrive, we will immediately equip them to the army. I need to maximize the strength of the army in the shortest possible time."
"What our Great Han Empire lacks most right now is time. We must seize every minute and second to expand, understand?"
Upon hearing this, both Lu Bingkun and Su Qidu nodded respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
……
With Qi Tongwei concluding his trip to China and returning to Myawaddy, the situation throughout Myanmar has become tense.
Although people don't know exactly what Qi Tongwei did in China or what kind of cooperation he reached with China, one thing is clear to them: Qi Tongwei's trip to China this time was undoubtedly to obtain weapons from them.
China's military strength ranks among the top three in the world!
Their weapons are very advanced. If the other side were to sell Qi Tongwei just a few weapons, the military strength of the Great Han Empire would be greatly enhanced.
With this shift in power, other forces within Myanmar will tremble in fear.
If the Great Han Empire truly received weapon aid from the Dragon Kingdom in 297, then all the major and minor factions in Myanmar would be in trouble.
The Han Empire's belligerence has become deeply apparent to many through these recent wars.
Moreover, almost everyone understood that with Qi Tongwei's great talent and ambition, and the Han Empire's army's combat capabilities being so strong, they would definitely not be content with the status quo and remain in a corner of the world.
Now let's see who the Great Han Empire's Yu Han will target next!
It was only a matter of time!
Naypyitaw.
At the Presidential Palace, Aung San sat at his desk, his face full of worry.
He looked very unwell, with sunken eyes and a pale face, appearing malnourished.
But actually, he wasn't malnourished; he just hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days.
Since the Great Han Empire was invited by the Dragon Kingdom for a state visit a few days ago, Aung San has been actively contacting and negotiating with the Dragon Kingdom. He is willing to sacrifice some interests to persuade the Dragon Kingdom to withdraw its invitation to the Great Han Empire for a state visit.
Unfortunately, he failed!
Faced with his unreasonable demands, the Dragon Kingdom directly rejected him!
This made Aung San feel very embarrassed!
Because no matter what, Myanmar is the legitimate country. If your country, the Dragon Kingdom, hosts the Great Han Empire, how is the legitimate president supposed to behave?
But now that it has happened, there's no point in him having any objections.
They are not like the United States, which is powerful enough to make China wary.
He was already prepared to give up entirely, and since he couldn't stop it, he simply stopped caring.
But now, after hearing the news that Qi Tongwei had returned, he panicked again!
Qi Tongwei stayed in China for several days this time, and according to the news, he was received by Zhong Zhenguo, a core elder of the Chinese cabinet!
This is a privilege that even some Western powers cannot enjoy!
This shows how much the Dragon Kingdom values the Han Empire!
China's military development has made even the United States wary. Qi Tongwei's trip to China this time is very likely to result in a weapons deal!
The Burmese army is already no match for the Han Empire's army. If they were to receive another batch of advanced weapons from the Dragon Kingdom, they might as well just surrender!
Aung San grew increasingly disheartened!
He could even foresee the moment when the nation would perish and the Han Empire would unify the entire country of Burma.
Do not!
I, Aung San Suu Kyi, will never be the president of a country that has perished!
Aung San felt a jolt, startled by his own thought.
If Myanmar were to fall under his rule, he would be forever infamous!
He absolutely will not allow this to happen!
"Qi Tongwei!"
(beeb) "I will never let you have your way!"
Aung San Suu Kyi gritted his teeth and said something, then took out his phone and called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.
He's going to demand an explanation!
Aung San made the call.
Zhao Jian, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, answered the phone.
"President Aung San Suu Kyi, is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhao Jian's tone was very flat, not expressing much enthusiasm.
Aung San could naturally sense the distance in the other person's tone, but he had no choice but to endure it.
After all, weak nations have no diplomacy!
Since he was not well received, he was tactful and, without saying much nonsense, directly stated his requirements.
"Minister Zhao, our Myanmar has always maintained friendly relations with China, but your country has actually invited Qi Tongwei of our arch-enemy, the Great Han Empire, to make a state visit to you. Moreover, I have heard that you have reached many cooperation agreements. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"You should understand that the Great Han Empire's international standing is not recognized, and Emperor Qi Tongwei is even more perverse, causing widespread resentment in northern Myanmar. I'm afraid..."
He had barely finished speaking when Zhao Jian interrupted him.
"President Aung San Suu Kyi, I'm sorry, but regarding this matter, I can now give you a very clear answer: in the eyes of our Dragon Kingdom, every country should be respected, including the Great Han Empire."
"Whether their identities are recognized or not, it does not affect the friendly exchanges between our two countries. As for the cooperation you mentioned, I am not clear about that and have no way to answer you."
"Alright, I have other things to take care of. If you just wanted to ask about this, then that's it."
Zhao Jian said a few words indifferently, and then hung up the phone without giving Aung San a chance to speak.
Are you kidding me?
The emperor of the Great Han Empire was originally from their Dragon Kingdom, so it's perfectly normal for the two countries to cooperate.
Myanmar is just a weak country. Why should the Chinese government explain itself to the weak?
Naypyidaw, Presidential Palace.
boom!
Aung San angrily threw down the phone.
Although it wasn't the first time he'd been ignored, he was still very upset.
He himself is the president of a country, yet he doesn't even respect the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is a terrible president!
"Damn it!"
He cursed angrily.
"Qi Tongwei! It's Qi Tongwei again!"
"Do you all think that Qi Tongwei is more capable than me, Aung San Suu Kyi?"
"You all have high hopes for the Great Han Empire, but I don't believe they can really overthrow our Myanmar!"
"We'll see!"
What he didn't know was that the reason why the Dragon Kingdom ignored him was partly because the Great Han Empire and the Dragon Kingdom had countless connections, especially Qi Tongwei, who was himself a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom.
Moreover, the strength of the Great Han Empire far surpasses that of the Burmese army. Any intelligent person would know which choice to make.
Besides that, there is one more crucial reason.
That is, in recent years, fraud and various crimes have been rampant in Myanmar, but the official authorities have been inactive, condoning and protecting these illegal activities. This behavior has greatly displeased China!
Myanmar has defrauded China of so much money, and instead of doing its proper work, it has colluded with fraud and criminal groups to commit numerous heinous acts. Although China doesn't outwardly express its dissatisfaction due to international relations, it has long been deeply resentful. (iv)
Now that the Great Han Empire is rapidly rising in power and has comprehensively banned fraud and all kinds of criminal activities, it is most suitable for the Great Han Empire to replace Myanmar in governing this land.
Considering these factors, it's understandable that Myanmar has been neglected and abandoned by China.
Aung San felt extremely uneasy whenever he thought about Qi Tongwei's trip to China.
They're definitely going there to get weapons! (v)
Now that Qi Tongwei is back, it's likely that war will break out again soon, and once the fighting starts, the Burmese side will once again be on the defensive. 6.
They can't win a fight, and they don't have the guts to declare war. For now, they can only adopt a passive defensive posture. ④
Even so, they still had absolutely no confidence.
Because the Han Empire is now vastly different from what it used to be, once it upgrades its military capabilities, its military strength will rise to a new level.
Their Burmese army's weaponry is also very outdated; in comparison, the outcome is obvious.
"No, this can't go on!"
After calming down, Aung San began to worry again.
The Han Empire is now a huge threat to them, and he can't sleep well for a single day unless this danger is resolved.
He summoned his new secretary.
"Immediately issue a notice that we will convene a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Great Han Empire."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The secretary responded cautiously, and before Aung San could speak, she turned and slunk away.
Upon seeing this, Aung San's lips twitched violently a few times.
Now even a lowly secretary acts like a mouse before a cat when he sees him, and high-ranking officials often avoid him altogether, which makes him both angry and somewhat helpless.
The country can't be supported by him alone; it needs these people.
But now, looking at the whole of Myanmar, there are very few people he can truly rely on.
In contrast, the Great Han Empire is powerful and full of talented people, and now it has gained the favor and assistance of the Dragon Kingdom.
How does this compare?
Aung San Suu Kyi has fallen into a new round of helplessness.
