Chapter 414 Trade-offs

The federal central government did not levy a penny on the middle and lower classes in the country, and the local government was ordered to drastically reduce the proportion of taxes because they did not need to contribute to the construction of the armed forces, and naturally the lives of the people improved dramatically.

It is easy to move from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift, and for the current federal people, no one wants to return to the precarious and difficult days of the past.

Long Zheng's military success reassured them, and even the Burmese people in the territory felt a deep sense of belonging to the Federal Republic of Salween and were reluctant to return to the turbulent Republic of the Union of Burma. Rather be a peace dog, don't be chaotic and leave people. The Union of Burma, which was engaged in the Great Patriotic War, was like a bottomless devil's cave, and they felt deep fear.

Faced with the catastrophic situation of the total destruction of the navy and the loss of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Indian government did not choose to withdraw its troops from Burma, but increased its troops by 200,000 troops and entered the Indo-Burmese battlefield.

It can be seen that India has chosen to break the kettle. The Indian government and military leaders know that their political or military careers will be completely ended if they do not achieve a final victory in the Indo-Burmese war and successfully annex Rakhine and Chin states in Burma to quell the discontent and anger of the people at home.

With an increase of 200,000 troops, plus the previous 300,000, the Indian military sent a terrifying 500,000 troops to the Indo-Burmese battlefield. On the battlefield, the daily consumption of 500,000 troops is an astronomical amount. The reason why the Indian military has made such a crazy move is to end the war in India and Myanmar as soon as possible.

Faced with 500,000 Indian troops, the Burmese army was overwhelmed and had to seek help from the Seven-Nation Alliance again.

April 30, Bangkok, Thailand.

In the huge conference room, the top heads of state of the Seven Nations Alliance gathered.

President of the Salween Federation, King Bhumibol of Thailand, President of Indonesia......

At this moment, their eyes are firmly fixed on a middle-aged woman at the end of the table -- Aung San Suu Kyi, president of the democratic government of Burma, and the nominal head of state of Burma.

Seeing the seven people sitting at the table, Aung San Suu Kyi felt powerless. Aung San Suu Kyi has said everything that should be said, but the heads of state of the seven countries have not relented at all about sending troops to aid Burma.

Could it be that Rakhine State and Chin State were thus occupied by India? Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's heart was desperate.

"President Aung San!" In the dead conference room, Long Zheng's voice suddenly sounded.

Following the voice and looking forward, everyone saw Long Zheng continue: "It is absolutely impossible for the Seven Nations Alliance to send an army or air force into Burma to help Burma resist Indian aggression. With the exception of Thailand and Indonesia, the other five countries of the G7 have a border with India. In South Asia and Southeast Asia, India's army and air force do not have a single enemy, and even if our seven-nation alliance is packaged together, it is definitely not India's opponent on land. ā€

"President Long Zheng, do you have a solution?" Aung San Suu Kyi seemed to grasp the lifeline and hurriedly asked.

"The army or the air force, our seven-nation alliance will never send it out, after all, our seven-nation alliance has not officially declared war with India. However, we can help Burma resist Indian aggression on the naval side. ā€

Standing up, Long Zheng walked quickly to the map, pointed to the location of Rakhine State, and said in a condensed voice: "Everyone, please see, Rakhine State runs along the coast of the Rakhine Mountains and the Bay of Bengal, extending from northwest to southeast, with a narrow outline. The coast is winding, with numerous islands lining the coast. It can be seen that this place is not suitable for the deployment and operation of large-scale corps. With India's 500,000-strong army and hundreds of aircraft ready to provide air support, it is impossible for Myanmar to hold both Rakhine and Chin states. So now Myanmar must learn to make trade-offs. ā€

"Trade-offs?" Aung San Suu Kyi seemed to have an understanding: "President Long Zheng, you are saying that Myanmar needs to abandon Chin State and make every effort to keep Rakhine State. ā€

"Hmm!" Nodding his head, he gave Aung San Suu Kyi an affirmative answer.

Looking at everyone, Long Zheng continued: "I propose that the Burmese army withdraw from Chin State and the whole army be stationed in Rakhine State to ensure that Rakhine State is not lost, but the Indian military cannot support the attrition of the war and has to withdraw from Rakhine State. The seven-nation alliance, with destroyers and missile boats as the mainstay, once again formed a joint fleet to cruise along the coast of Rakhine State, giving the Burmese army sufficient firepower support. ā€

"I think President Long Zheng's proposal is very necessary." After Long Zheng finished speaking, King Bhumibol of Thailand said: "India's aggression against Burma has undermined the stability and stability of the Asian region, and put everyone in South and Southeast Asia at risk, so now everyone must show their attitude." There must be no foolishness in sweeping the snow on our doorstep and allowing Burmese territory to be occupied by Indian troops. Of course, President Long Zheng's words are to the point, India's army strength and air force are the highest in South Asia, and we have no ability and absolutely cannot send an army or air force to collide with it head-on. Now that the Indian Navy is completely destroyed, the best and only option for the Seven-Nation Alliance is to form a combined fleet again to help the Burmese army hold on to Rakhine State until the Indian military withdraws from Rakhine State. ā€

After King Bhumibol of Thailand made his statement, the Indonesian president also nodded in agreement.

The Salween Federation, Thailand, Indonesia, and the troika led by the Seven-Nation Alliance all agreed, and the Seven-Nation Alliance naturally agreed to Long Zheng's proposal.

In the face of the cruel reality, Aung San Suu Kyi thought for a long time and agreed to Long Zheng's proposal.

Aung San Suu Kyi said that after returning to Burma, she immediately began to persuade the Burmese military to abandon Chin State and instead station the whole army in Rakhine State, trying to ensure that Rakhine State was not lost, but the Indian military could not support the huge attrition of maintaining the war and had to withdraw from Rakhine State. As soon as the Burmese military agreed to Long Zheng's proposal, Aung San Suu Kyi immediately sent the news back to the Seven-Nation Alliance, at which point the combined fleet of the Seven-Nation Alliance would sail into the coastal area of Rakhine State to provide sufficient firepower to support the Burmese army.

After everyone left, Long Zheng quietly found King Bhumibol of Thailand, and the two got together secretly.

Raising the red wine glass in his hand, the two of them touched each other's wine glasses.

"President Long Zheng, the goal of containing India with Myanmar has been achieved. The Indian threat has subsided for the time being, but the Indonesian threat must be taken seriously. According to what I have learned, Indonesia has decided to withdraw from the Seven Nations Alliance. Looking at Long Zheng, King Bhumibol of Thailand said something unexpectedly. (To be continued.) )
