: 30% winning rate?
“Will there be military operations in Kachin State in the north?” Mo Aung asked.
Now the Burmese military government has been destroyed by the Legion. Even Yangon and Mandalay Provinces have been lost. More than 300,000 troops have also disappeared. The Legion is at its peak and is conducting military occupation of cities in Myanmar, and Claiming to establish a new government and country.
Therefore, Thulawasi and Wen Junkai of the former civilian government of Myanmar also announced that the United Government of Myanmar is the legal government of Myanmar, and the Army is just a local armed force. The United Government of Myanmar will take over the power of the military government of Myanmar. exercise power over all parts of Myanmar.
And called on people across Myanmar to resist the dictatorship and military occupation of the Legion.
Dulawasi also specially ordered Lakeby to send a telegram to Mo Aung, hoping that Mo Aung could lead the naval fleet to join the Myanmar coalition government and make a contribution to the peace of Myanmar.
Moang is not that noble of character. He accepted the invitation to come here just because Duravathy promised that his naval fleet could gain a lot of power.
It also promised that after the war, the southernmost province of Tanintharyi could be used as a ‘fiefdom’ of the Mo family, and the Myanmar coalition government would never interfere with the appointment of officials in Tanintharyi Province.
This attracted Mo Ang to come to Mawlamyine to take a look.
“Of course,” said Lakeby.
“The Kachin State Defense Force has integrated the Myanmar Army troops on the northern front to further expand its strength. While we launch a counterattack against the regiment, they will also attack from Kachin State to Sagaing and Mandalay Provinces. , launched an offensive in northern Shan State.”
“In addition, ethnic minority armed forces in the northern and western regions such as the Kachin Independence Army, Ta’ang Army, Northern Shan State Army, Kaplan Army, and Arakan Army will also engage in continuous guerrilla warfare with the Corps.”
“Let the legion sink into the sea of people!”
Mo Aang was not moved by Lakeby’s impassioned speech.
Because he knew that the United Government Defense Force in the northern part of the United States did not have many troops. Originally, there were only about 20,000 troops in the northern theater, plus the troops that were recruited one after another and the troops that had been taken over by the Burmese military and the troops left behind on the northern front. , no more than 50,000 to 60,000 people at best.
Moreover, these troops still lack various weapons and equipment. The heavy weapons were basically destroyed by the legions in several battles. They only have some combatants and light weapons and equipment. It would be good to be able to fight guerrilla warfare.
The Kachin Independence Army has about 15,000 people. It often fights guerrilla warfare with the Myanmar military in Kachin State, so it is very experienced.
But the other minority tribal armed forces are very weak. The De’ang Army and the Northern Shan State Army were all cleaned up by the legion, leaving only the remnants of one or two thousand people.
The Kaplan Army and the ethnic minority armed forces active in the western border areas of the Arakan Army are not so much cooperating with the United Government Defense Forces as they are themselves opposed to the rule of the Myanmar government. Now they only continue to oppose the Army. Just rule.
Dulawasi and Wen Junkai must have promised something in order to win over these minority armed forces.
After thinking for a while, Mo Ang said: “Our navy will send two escorts and several patrol ships to protect your landing fleet.”
Since the legion has rejected its surrender conditions, let the legion see the strength of the navy!
Mo Aung knew that although the army and air force of the legion were strong, the legion from the inland area did not have a navy, not even a small boat.
Even if the legion occupied the naval shipyard in Yangon Province, they would not be able to complete the construction of the 4,500-ton frigate without skilled workers. Even if they captured some inland river patrol boats, they would not have enough manpower to operate them. Boat.
It’s a pity that the 4,500-ton frigate will be launched in a few months.
After attending the meeting, Lakeby invited Mo Aung to dinner, but Mo Aung refused.
Mo Aang’s reason was that the legion had ballistic missiles capable of long-range strikes. It was inconvenient for his naval fleet to dock at the port of Mawlamyine all the time, so it needed to continue moving, but he promised to send warships to escort the landing operations of the coalition government defense forces.
After Mo Ang left, Waylon stepped forward and stood next to Lakeby and said, “Do you believe him?”
Lakeby smiled bitterly and shook his head: “This man has always been a wallflower, and now that he can come to our meeting, it only shows that the conditions given to him by the legion are not good, or in other words, the legion has no intention of giving him a rest. ”

Lakeby was the commander of the southeastern theater of the former Burmese military government, and Waylon was the commander of the southern theater. Both of them had naval bases in their jurisdictions, and they often dealt with the navy. They also knew that Mo Aung was arrogant and arrogant at the same time. .
Relying on his father’s reputation in the party, he can get along well in both the military and the civilian government.
So when the civilian government was strong, he was friendly with the civilian government. After the military coup came to power, he was friendly with the military again, but he also managed to avoid offending both sides.
Because he controls the Myanmar Navy, which has always been a special force, both the Myanmar military and the civilian government have attracted him.
…. . 0
“How confident are you in this battle?” Waylon asked again.
“What do you think?” Lakeby looked at Waylon: “Only a few of my troops have fought against the Legion on the front line, but your troops have fought against them in Taungoo. When it comes to grasping this kind of thing, you are more capable. say.”
Waylon lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, “Thirty percent.”
“Only 30%?” Lakeby frowned, glanced at the commander of the Karen Army and the commanders of several other minority armed forces not far away, and said: “We have 70,000 people, and the legions going south can reach 30,000 at most. People, and we have to divide our troops to garrison Yangon, Ayeyarwady and Bago provinces, with a maximum of 20,000 people on the front line!”
Our side has three times as many troops, but the winning rate is only 30%?
Waylon just said silently: “Mo Aang did not break his promise for the 30%, sending a naval fleet to escort our landing force to launch landing operations from the coasts of Yangon Province and Ayeyarwady Province, and the Karen Army crossed the Nong Ben Mountains, in the context of launching guerrilla operations against regiments in Bago Province and Kayah State.”
Now it was Lakeby’s turn to be shocked.
He and Waylon are both lieutenant generals in the Myanmar military and are very aware of the combat effectiveness of the Myanmar army.
Having exhausted all the resources in hand, the victory rate is only 30%. This battle is worse than fighting a guerrilla war in the jungle armed by a few tribes.
Waylon glanced at Lakeby and whispered: “Have the support materials from the Kingdom of Siam arrived?” Qian.
