On the other hand, the U.S. military has repatriated the Delta Special Forces B Brigade to zero and fully integrated it into the Salwehr Bundeswehr. Also departed was the South China Sword Special Forces who came to Myanmar with Long Zheng.
Of course, before the departure of the two special forces, the two special forces under Long Zheng's banner -- the Chinese Special Operations Brigade and the Special Aviation Assault Brigade -- had already completed their training and were incorporated into the combat sequence of the First Division of the Army after reorganization and reorganization. The special operations aviation brigade has also completed its training and, after being reorganized and reorganized, has been incorporated into the Air Force combat sequence.
Through this series of actions, Ryuzheng took full control of all armed forces in the Federal Republic of Salween, including both the army and the police.
In the process of reorganizing the armed forces, countless vested interests stood up against the reform of the dragon government.
Ci is not in charge of the army, and he is not responsible for financial management, and Long Zheng is not merciless to these opponents, and mobilizes the first division of the army and the second division of the army to arrest them all. Instead of killing them, Long Zheng seized these opponents, confiscated all the property in his name, and put them under house arrest. Guarded by the armed forces of the 2nd Division of the Army, once these opponents are not caught, it will be difficult for them to fly.
Inevitably, skirmishes continued in the Federal Republic of Salween during the reorganization of the armed forces of the Dragons. However, because Ryuzheng only has control over the armed forces, but does not interfere in the governance of the local government, and the people have great expectations and support for the ruling Ryuzheng, there is only a small part of the armed forces that oppose Ryuzheng.
Soon, Long Zheng arrested all the opponents who came to the fore, confiscated their property and put them under house arrest, and completely controlled all the armed forces in the Federal Republic of Salween.
-----
While Long Zheng was busy integrating the armed forces in the Salween Federal Republic, fierce fighting broke out on the Burmese side of the India-Burma border.
When the rebels in Chin State, Rakhine State and Sagaing Province were almost wiped out by the Burmese army, they banded together to keep warm. In the beginning, they looked to Ryuzheng for help and support. Fearing that the remnants of the rebels would regain strength with the support of Long Zheng, the Rangoon Military Government, the Mandalay Military Government, the Magway Military Government, and the Bosheng Democratic Government, the four political forces in Myanmar proper, joined forces to put pressure on Long Zheng. In order to repair the bad relations with Myanmar and avoid the unpredictable and serious consequences of angering the Burmese political forces, Long Zheng rejected the rebels' requests for support.
Running into a wall at Longzheng, the rebels soon switched to the Indian government and received support from the Indian military.
On 10 February 1996, the rebels announced that Rakhine and Chin States would secede from Myanmar and join the Federal Republic of India. On 11 February, 150,000 troops of India's Eastern Military Region crossed the Indian-Burmese border and brazenly invaded and occupied western Burma -- Rakhine State and Chin State -- with lightning speed.
The Indian Government and its heinous acts of aggression have aroused unanimous condemnation from all countries in the world, and the United Nations has convened an emergency meeting to adopt a resolution inviting Indian troops to withdraw immediately from Myanmar and stop their illegal acts of aggression against the territory of other countries.
The Indian military ignored the UN resolution and quickly built war fortifications in Rakhine and Chin states. On 15 February, the four major political forces in Burma, who could not bear it anymore, used their funds to form a 200,000-strong Burmese coalition army and entered Rakhine State and Chin State to confront India's 150,000-strong army.
On 17 February, the two sides formally exchanged fire, and the fighting escalated rapidly. The 150,000 troops of the Indian military and the 200,000 troops of the Burmese coalition army fought fiercely in Rakhine State and Chin State.
On the one hand, it is an unjust army that invades other countries, and on the other hand, it is a national defender who defends the country. In the early days of the war, the high-morale Burmese coalition forces turned their eyes on the Indian army and defeated the Indian army.
On 28 February, the Indian army, which was in an unfavorable situation, increased its strength to Burma by 100,000 troops, relying on its numerical superiority to gradually regain its battlefield disadvantage. After that, the Indian army was similar to the Burmese coalition force, and the war became more anxious.
------
The reason why the Indian army made a crazy move to invade a neighboring country was because of their considerations.
First of all, Myanmar is now at its lowest point of strength.
On the military side, not only did the 400,000-strong army drop to 200,000, but it also lost two-thirds of its naval strength; On the economic and political front, the fragmentation of the regime has brought its existing administrative system to a near collapse, and the war potential has inevitably fallen to an all-time low.
Second, the vast and sparsely populated western part of Myanmar has long been a source of salivation for India, and the local independence movements in Rakhine and Chin States have given them an excuse to wage war.
Rakhine State covers an area of 36,777.83 square kilometers and has a population of only 2.05 million, while Chin State covers an area of 36,000 square kilometers and has a population of only 479,690 people. Such a vast and sparsely populated land does not exist in India. The most important thing is that the people in the two places have no sense of belonging to Myanmar, and even extremely disgusted, and after India occupies Rakhine State and Chin State, it will soon be able to establish a stable local government in the local area, and completely integrate Rakhine State and Chin State into the Indian territory.
