Chapter 129: The End of Maung Aye
Huang Bingzhong was able to say this, but in the final analysis, he didn't know enough about the true connotation of "**", and because he didn't have confidence in "**".
He represents the views of many old people, and may even include Pang Wenlan, but Pang Wenlan has not spoken, but silently watched everyone discuss.
Pang Jindong has been talking about related issues for a long time, and now Huang Bingzhong has turned the topic back with one sentence, which really makes Pang Jindong a little crying and laughing: "I have already said that in any country in the world, the first few leaders after the founding of the country are all founding merits, including country M, which is not contradictory to the implementation of government in the future, and government rarely gives birth to stupid and incompetent leaders." Moreover, it is still in the future for us to implement this form of government. β
"Although it is in the future, the problems that may occur need to be solved in advance. "The person who spoke this time was Shen Peifu, in fact, he was the most reluctant person to practice ** politics.
Although he, as chairman of the SAR government, could directly assume the position of the first leader of the new country, he wanted to serve for life, and even wanted the position to be hereditary by the Pang family.
But he couldn't make it too obvious, so he didn't talk much.
Pang Jindong knew Shen Peifu's mind very well, looked at this cousin and said meaningfully: "We want to do a career, not to seek our own interests, to be a soil emperor who occupies the mountains and is the king." If you look at the history of the development of this world, you can know that if you want to maintain the long-term prosperity and prosperity of the country, you must implement it. I don't think we want this country to be buried in the dustbin of history when we die. β
Pang Tianzhong deeply agrees with Pang Jindong's concept: "Jindong is right, an example in front of us is the MD junta, why is this country completely isolated in the international community? And it has been torn apart? I hope everyone will think about the root cause!"
Shen Peifu wanted to continue to refute, but he didn't know what to say, because Pang Jindong had already explained all the questions clearly just now.
After a while, he suddenly thought of a question, and thought that it would be fatal to Pang Jindong: "If you implement ** government, I don't know how my cousin plans to arrange himself?"
Pang Tianyi didn't want to express his opinion, but when he heard his nephew's words, he was worried that the scene would be stalemate, so he hurriedly came out and said: "Jindong has already said that the government is in the future, which means that how we arrange it now will not be affected at all!"
"Uncle, I mean, if you implement ** government now!" Shen Peifu immediately corrected Pang Tianyi's words, and then looked at Pang Jindong with a smile.
Pang Jindong understood Shen Peifu's intentions, smiled slightly, and replied almost without hesitation: "Regardless of whether the government is implemented or not, after the country officially becomes independent, I will resign from all positions." Even if the people were elected to hold a certain position, I would not agree. β
"This ......" Shen Peifu didn't expect Pang Jindong to have such a mind, he almost couldn't believe his ears, and after being stunned for a moment, he asked strangely: "Why are you doing this?"
Pang Jindong smiled slightly, and said with a pun: "Because I am not a person who is greedy for power, and because I respect the choice of the people." β
In fact, Pang Jindong's real intention in doing this is simply because he wants to restore the lives of ordinary people.
This is a wish that Pang Jindong has always had since he became a mercenary, but even after returning to the motherland, this wish has never been fulfilled for one reason or another.
Now that the ideals of Uncle Zu and the Kokang people are about to be realized, Pang Jindong thinks that it is time for him to retire.
When answering Shen Peifu, the reason why Pang Jindong changed another statement was to hint at some truth to Shen Peifu, and at the same time to set an example.
Shen Peifu took a deep breath, and his eyes and tone became very complicated: "Do you want to abandon the country for which you have paid so much?"
"This is definitely not abandonment, I will always do my best to help the development of the country! If one day in the future, the country needs it, I will resolutely take on my own responsibilities again, but I hope that this day will not come." Pang Jindong looked at Shen Peifu and felt very uncomfortable. If it weren't for avoiding his suspicion, Pang Jindong would not have been able to return to Kokang for a long time, until this time it was really because there was no way, so he came back to plan together.
Pang Jindong's words are intriguing, and he did not clearly say that he had any plans, but only summarized them in general terms as the so-called "responsibility that belongs to him".
This "responsibility" is difficult to explain clearly, but it can be big or small, Pang Jindong wants to show that he is not willing to fight for power and profit, but he will not be at the mercy of others, and he can replace Shen Peifu.
Shen Peifu had nothing to say anymore, and it was at this time, perhaps moved by Pang Jindong's words, Pang Wenlan suddenly made a final decision: "As soon as you do what Jindong says!"
In this way, the Declaration of Independence was finally issued in accordance with Pang Jindong's intentions, and the constitution began to be formulated according to the principles set forth in it.
The declaration has elicited a good response from the international community and has been highly praised by major powers.
However, Pang Jindong also made certain concessions to the elders on some of the less important issues, such as the fact that the army still retains the name "Kokang Republican Army".
In addition, the Declaration defines the territorial scope and flag of the State.
The territory covers the former Shan State and some surrounding areas, with a total area of more than 180,000 square kilometers, and on the basis of the government and boundary demarcation of the original special regions of Shan State, the administrative divisions of seven provinces and related government agencies and organizations have been established.
Yang Jiawei originally wanted to incorporate Kachin State, but because the unification of Kachin State would take a long time, and the Chinese could not yet have a demographic advantage, this would make the ethnic issue more complicated, so Pang Jindong did not agree.
But because of Yang Jiawei's role, Kachin State can maintain a special relationship with the Republic of Mubang.
The national flag was redesigned under the auspices of Mya Heng, in fact, Shan State originally had a flag, but it was actually abandoned to signify a complete break with the past.
The new national flag is divided into two equal parts, the lower one is green, which symbolizes the country's thousands of miles of fertile fields, and the upper one is red, which symbolizes that the land is sprinkled with the blood of martyrs.
In the center is a ring of five five-pointed stars of the same size, symbolizing the unity of the various ethnic groups in this land.
The day after the Declaration of Independence was issued, countries Z and M announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Republic of Mubang at the ambassadorial level, almost as if they had made an agreement.
Since the outbreak of the Cold War and to the present day, the East and the West have never been so in lockstep on any matter.
Since the two great powers have made this gesture, other countries have followed suit, recognizing the Republic of Mubang and expressing their willingness to establish formal intergovernmental diplomacy with it.
In less than three days, the world's major countries have basically made similar statements, and while Southeast Asian countries remain silent, their attitudes don't matter at all.
As for the peace conference, since this result was achieved, Senior General Maung Aye knew that he would not be able to escape.
He came up with the idea of staying abroad. Or apply for political asylum in other countries, or go away incognito, in short, never return to MD.
However, when General Maung Ae found out that Madam was a good player, he expected him to have such a plan, and installed many cronies around him.
At the end of the meeting, the men revealed their true colors and "escorted" him back to the MD almost half coercively.
Faced with this situation, General Maung Ae decided to make amends and held meetings with his subordinates day and night to study countermeasures, but the more he studied, the more he felt that the shape was not optimistic.
Overall, the strength of the Kokang Republican Army (IRA) has grown at an almost geometric rate, and at the beginning of the Kokang War, its strength was much weaker than that of the Kokang Special Administrative Region, but it succeeded in controlling the Kokang government, and then annexed the Fourth Special Region.
On this basis, the Kokang Republican Army made a leap forward in power, and almost bloodlessly annexed the Third Special Region and the most powerful Second Special Region.
In addition to these four special regions, Shan State also has the Fifth Special Region of the Kachin Defense Army, the Sixth Special Region of the Bo'o National Organization and the Liberation Army of Banglong State, which are controlled by the South and the North respectively, as well as a number of other large and small armed forces.
However, after another leap in the overall strength of the Kokang Republican Army, they have become insignificant.
And they themselves knew this very well, and did not wait for the Kokang Republican Army to attack, and took the initiative to disarm and surrender.
Many of these forces have been annexed by the MD government forces, which have taken a wait-and-see attitude since the government forces took action around the Kokang SAR until now they have completely fallen to the Kokang Republican Army.
General Maung Ah let out a long sigh, as if talking to himself, and as if discussing with the people around him: "Is there really no way at all?"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and before General Maung Ae could figure out what was happening, the door of the office was forcibly pushed open.
General Maung Aye's guards staggered in, they had obviously blocked them, but the other side was too numerous to have any effect.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of soldiers poured in, and the soldiers led by them stood up to Senior General Maung Ae and announced in a cold tone: "Senior General Maung Ae, I am now officially arresting you on the orders of Senior General Yu Dan, Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council!"
General Maung Ai slapped the table, stood up and asked excitedly, "Why!"
"You are guilty of treason!" After a pause, the leading soldier added: "You first launched a military operation without authorization, led to the secession of Shan State, and then betrayed the interests of the country at the Geneva Peace Conference!"
"Nonsense!" General Maung Ah slapped the table harder, becoming more excited, and his voice trembled: "I haven't done anything like this, I... I want to see General Matama!"
The soldier at the head sneered, and suddenly shouted: "General Maung Ae resisted arrest and was killed on the spot!"
These soldiers had been prepared for a long time, and when they heard this order, they drew their guns almost at the same time and fired wildly at everyone in the room.
Before General Maung Ae and his men could fight back, they fell in a pool of blood.
When the last man fell, the leading soldier put away his gun and ordered, "Let's see if there is any room alive!" Some of the more fortunate people did not die, but were seriously wounded, but they were immediately shot in the temple by these soldiers, and they reluctantly passed away.
After making sure that everyone was dead, the soldiers led by him immediately ordered the scene to be cleaned up, and he went to the office of General Matama to resume his life.
In fact, even if the officer did not come to report, the gunfire that sounded intensively and ended quickly in the general of Yutan knew that things were going smoothly.
After the officer went out after reporting the situation, Lieutenant General Ava came out of the suite and said lightly: "Congratulations to the general......
General Mata Dan looked at it and found that Lieutenant General Ava's expression was a little heavy, knowing that he was a little guilty of his own actions.
However, for the person he trusted the most, General Mata Dan didn't mind very much, and told Lieutenant General SΓΉ Ava: "Without the obstacle of Maung Ae, we can do whatever we want in the future." β
"I hope so......"
"By the way, yesterday we received news from the special channel of Z Guotong GuΓ², as long as we are willing to agree to the puppet Mubang Republic, a large amount of economic assistance will be given to us. β
"This is the temptation, is there still coercion?" said Lieutenant General Ava in a low voice, like a mosquito humming in the air looking for a blood donor.
"With the current diplomatic strategy of country Z, at most, it is doing some small moves in secret, and there will be no moves on the surface. However......" General Yu Dan smiled helplessly, and shook his head slightly: "Country M also conveyed the same message through guΓ² informal channels. β
"Haha......" Hearing this, Lieutenant General Ava actually laughed, but his laughter was full of bitterness and helplessness: "I didn't expect that these two big countries, which have always been opposites, would reach an agreement on this matter!"
"Ava ......" General Maratan suddenly became very stern, and his tone was almost that of an elder teaching: "Our country has always been very isolated in the international community, although we can try not to care about it and fully express our integrity, but in the final analysis, this is very detrimental to the development of the country. β
As long as the leaders of the country are still in their right minds, even if they are in the government, they all hope that the country can develop.
However, some develop for the sake of development, some for the sake of consolidating dominance, and some for the sake of maximizing the interests of the ruling class.
MD governments belong to third parties, and one thing in common is that when development conflicts with the interests of the ruling class, they will not hesitate to sacrifice development to safeguard the interests of the ruling class.
