General Mata Dan replied noncommittally: "This matter has nothing to do with you at all, I just sue you out of trust, and you have to act as if you don't know at all!

Lieutenant General Ava was silent, and it was only at this moment that he really understood that the whole thing was actually a conspiracy of General Matatan.

Admiral Mata Dan had anticipated from the beginning that the situation would turn to the point where it was now, and at the same time realized that this was a good opportunity to take back power from Admiral Maung Ae.

As a result, General Mata Dan watched the development of things, and when the division of the Kokang region became a foregone conclusion, it would become a crime for General Maung Ae to undermine the stability of the country, and General Matsuta Dan could get rid of him logically.

On the surface, Admiral Matama does not seem to be greedy for power because of his advanced age, but in fact, there is no one who is as unwilling to give up power as he is.

In order to be able to keep his rights, he even did not hesitate to divide the country.

Despite the fact that he is very old, even the brain has become unresponsive, and it is impossible to continue working efficiently and make the right decisions.

Admiral Mata knew very well that as long as the power was still in his hands, even if he died, his children and grandchildren could take his place, so that the power would still revolve around his soul that refused to follow the body and died.

The reason why General Mata Dan is like this is because as the leader of a totalitarian ** government, he fully enjoys the benefits of power, but does not bear the responsibilities that come with power at all.

Looking at the sanctimonious face of General Matama, Lieutenant General Ava suddenly wanted to denounce: "Traitor!"

But in the face of his benefactor, Lieutenant General Ava finally failed to say this sentence, and just dragged his heavy steps and left.

Geneva Peace Conference.

Facing the representatives of various countries, Pang Jindong said in a sonorous and forceful voice: "No matter what kind of attitude the countries of the world hold, the determination of the Kokang people to fight for freedom and independence will never change!"

After Anderson's inauguration, Pang Jindong came to Geneva to attend the peace conference, and Pang Jindong represented the Kokang Republican Army with Shen Peifu and Miao Heng.

Pang Tianzhong was unable to come because he needed to preside over the daily affairs of the Kokang Republican Army and had many other tasks to be responsible for.

After the dusty Pang Jindong got off the plane, he joined Shen Peifu and Miao Heng and entered the venue with his head held high.

Pang Jindong was dressed in a formal suit, his right hand was in his trouser pocket, and he looked ahead with pride and confidence in his eyes, showing a kind of bearing that looked down on the world and looked at the wind and clouds.

This kind of bearing comes from the heart, and it has enough confidence, and it is definitely not deliberately artificial.

Because at this moment, behind Pang Jindong, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Kokang Republican Army are waiting for the day, ready to fight to the death with the enemy.

I don't know why, at that time, Shen Peifu and Miao Heng were following behind Pang Jindong, which made Pang Jindong even more prominent.

The moment Pang Jindong just stepped into the venue, he was photographed by reporters, published on the covers of many media, and spread all over the world in a moment.

Since the capture of the whole of Shan State, the two sides have not reached a ceasefire agreement, but it is in a de facto state of ceasefire.

The MD government forces did not launch another large-scale offensive, and the Kokang Republican Army did not take the initiative.

Of course, this peace is short-lived and fragile, and both sides are waiting for the outcome of the peace talks.

As for what will happen between the two sides after this result is achieved, no one can speculate.

On the Z side, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was present, and on the M side, the new secretary of state, the two warring parties were naturally sent by real power figures.

In contrast, the officials of country Z seem to be a little lower-level, and they do not attach much importance to the issue of Kokang.

However, the attitude of country Z is the same as that of country M, that is, in the early stage of the talks, it will not make any statement on the future of the Kokang region, but will repeatedly reiterate that the two sides should cease fire comprehensively and restore peace and stability in the region.

Senior General Maung Aye, who attended the meeting, knew that he had made an unlucky deal this time, that the purpose of the meeting was only to mediate rather than resolve the dispute, and that the agreement reached was not binding or coercive on both sides.

But General Matama wants to get rid of him, so it's enough to make a fuss about this agreement, and as long as the meeting reaches any resolution that is unfavorable to MD, it will inevitably be the head of the people when he returns home.

Admiral Maung Ae didn't want to come, but Admiral Maung Dan rarely used his authority and gave an irrefutable order to Admiral Maung Ae.

Since the current situation is inextricably linked to Senior General Maung Ae, many people in the military junta hate him because of his military failures, and they want to see how he solves all his problems, or they want to see him make a fool of himself, so they also exert great political pressure on him.

It was under such circumstances that Senior General Maung Ae set foot on the soil of Geneva.

He glanced at the expressions of the participants from various countries at the meeting and expressed the attitude of the MD government with trepidation, that is, the country cannot be divided and sovereignty cannot be destroyed.

It was after General Maung Ae made this statement that Pang Jindong said the above sentence, and then looked at General Maung Ae with firm eyes.

Under Pang Jindong's direct gaze, General Maung Ai felt a panic and lowered his head.

He should have been full of confidence, but in the following speech, he stumbled and looked left and right, as if he was a person who had done something wrong to justify himself.

In fact, the so-called mediation does not have any technical content, it is nothing more than finding common ground between the respective positions of the two parties, and then expanding this common ground.

It was clear to all parties that the positions of the MD junta and the Kokang Republican Army were 108,000 miles apart, and there was little in common at all.

As expected, the talks eventually broke down, but after the meeting, countries Z and M issued a statement with similar content, both expressing their support for the Kokang people to fight for their freedom and power.

Things have developed to this point, and formal independence is already on the way.

The day after the talks, Pang Jindong immediately went to Kokang to discuss the independence plan.

A few days later, the Kokang IRA issued a declaration of independence, publicly proclaiming the establishment of the Republic of Mubang.

Although independence is the goal that the Kokang Republican Army has been pursuing, after all, this is the first time that it has been officially put forward to the public, and more importantly, after the declaration is issued, the Kokang region will truly emerge as a sovereign and independent state.

The manifesto begins with the words: "The most precious thing in the world is freedom, and only those who have freedom can defend their dignity and rights." ”

Next, the manifesto enumerated the darkness of the totalitarian and ** rule of the MD junta, highlighted the miserable lives of the people of all ethnic groups under this rule, and finally proposed that the only solution to this qiē was to create a new state independent of the MD.

With the ultimate goal of pursuing the universal happiness of the people of all ethnic groups, the country has implemented a government system that gradually implements universal suffrage in stages, and establishes a parliament and government on the basis of universal suffrage.

Those who are familiar with the Kokang IRA find many intriguing things in this declaration, some of which are very different from the positions of the Kokang IRA in the past.

For example, the Declaration is not just from the position of the Kokang, at least on the surface, and the most used term is "peoples".

What is even more strange is that instead of using the word "Kokang Republic" in the name of the country, as many expected, it has come up with a "Mubang Republic".

What the outside world doesn't know is that this declaration was completely concocted by Pang Jindong, and since the declaration is in fact the governing program of the new country, it cannot be sloppy at all.

After Pang Jindong formed the first draft, he and Pang Tianzhong and others repeatedly scrutinized it word by word several times, and after a lot of revisions, it was finally determined.

What the outside world doesn't know is that for these wording and writing methods, Pang Jindong even had a fierce argument with Shen Peifu and others.

The reason why Pang Jindong tried his best to dilute the color of the Kokang people in the new country was because Shan State was a multi-ethnic area, and the Kokang people were only ethnic minorities among them, and the main ethnic group was the Shan people.

Therefore, Pang Jindong believes that it must be emphasized that the new country is a multi-ethnic country, and if too much emphasis is placed on the Kokang people, it will inevitably cause the unhappiness of other nationalities, especially the Juche nation.

In addition, the Kokang people are, after all, a foreign nation, which is more likely to cause unfriendly speculation from the outside world, although such speculation is in line with the facts.

In this way, it may make the new country fall into internal strife while the external is still unstable, although the Kokang people control the army and can be quickly pacified, but this kind of national unrest will ruin Pang Jindong's carefully packaged national image.

Also in order to dilute the color of the Kokang people, the name of the country was adopted as "Mubang Republic", which is inherited from the historical Mubang Propaganda Envoy.

The Mubang Xuanwei Envoy was one of the three Xuanwei and six consolations established in the southwest ethnic minority areas in the Ming Dynasty, and the Shan State was under the jurisdiction of the Mubang Xuanwei Envoy, which was originally the territory of China, but was later taken away and became part of the MD.

Pang Jindong tried his best to determine the name of the country despite public opinion, one is because the other ethnic groups in the local area are all transnational ethnic groups, and there are a large number of people of the same nationality in country Z, and they are all indigenous people who have lived in the local area for a long time, so it is easy for them to have a sense of identity with the new country;

second, it can fully explain the historical heritage of this country;

The third also hints at where the country's sense of belonging and identity lies.

However, Pang Jindong left a foreshadowing in the Declaration of Independence, using many excuses, such as the general low level of education for the people, and the failure to immediately implement universal suffrage.

Due to the small number of Kokang people, once universal suffrage is introduced, the power will inevitably fall into the hands of foreign races.

Pang Jindong's plan is to first maintain the status quo in the country, that is, to let the Kokang people hold power firmly in their hands, and then use the promise of universal suffrage in the future to calm other ethnic groups.

After the arrival of a large number of immigrants from country Z, the ethnic composition of the new country will naturally change, and when the time comes, the assimilation of other local ethnic groups on the one hand, and the implementation of universal suffrage on the other, will still be in the hands of the Chinese.

Shen Peifu and others' opinions on Pang Jindong are here, one is that they think that never mentioning the Kokang people is tantamount to betraying all the efforts of the Kokang Republican Army in the past decades;

Second, they resolutely oppose the implementation of universal suffrage, because these people's concepts are still very conservative and outdated, and they stubbornly believe that whoever fights the world should sit in the world.

For the former article is easier to do, as long as you know the reason and explain the future development plan, everyone can accept it.

The latter is very difficult to do, and it is really difficult to let these people who have not been baptized by modern ideology accept the political system of universal suffrage, not to mention that it involves the distribution of rights.

Pang Jindong distinguished Shen Peifu and others, and finally said that his mouth was dry, but he still couldn't convince the other party.

Pang Jindong was helpless, and asked simply: "Do you want the whole world to support us?"

Shen Peifu looked at Pang Jindong, and then nodded: "Of course!"

"Then I can tell you that if we don't implement the government, the Western society will definitely not support us, and may even use us as an outpost to blockade country Z, what this will mean, I believe everyone knows very well. ”

Shen Peifu pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "I don't believe that just by not letting those indigenous monkeys have the right to vote, the whole world will come together against us!"

"Of course this will not happen, at least country Z and a few countries will still support us, but in the face of the larger international environment, we can't get mixed up!" After a pause, Pang Jindong said meaningfully: "I don't doubt that Congress Z will take this opportunity to sell their political ideas to us, I don't know if you can accept it?"

Compared with the political concept of Westerners, many people here are even more unacceptable to the political concept of country Z, especially the older generation such as Pang Wenlan. Therefore, hearing Pang Jindong's words, everyone present couldn't help but shake their heads.

"That's right!" Pang Jindong looked around at everyone present, and said slowly: "Why should we hang ourselves on a tree, instead of being between the two camps of the East and the West, and seek the greatest interests for ourselves!"

This time Shen Peifu didn't speak, but Huang Bingzhong shook his head slightly, and said in a tone full of doubts: "What you said is very reasonable, but I still don't understand, why do we people have to rely on voting to decide who will be the leader in the end?

As soon as Huang Bingzhong's words fell, another patriarch immediately continued: "What do the common people know? They are the easiest to be fooled, and whoever says something nice, they will vote for whomever they want!"

Perhaps worried that Pang Jindong would misunderstand his words, Huang Bingzhong added what he just said: "It hasn't been long since my old bones were put into the coffin, so you can rest assured that I will never let go of my authority, old man." It's just that I really can't figure this out, and I'm worried that our country will be ruined on this in the future!"
