Chapter 299
: The imperial army mobilizes! The clouds before the rainstorm!
With the order of the Emperor of Qin, Yuri took a special plane and took off from the Air Force Airport at the Imperial Capital Military Base and directly arrived at the Red Police Sub-base Airport in Yangon City.
“Minister Yuri, this is our first meeting.” Xu Qian, who had been promoted to the commander of the Empire’s Southern Military Region, met with Yuri in the branch base.
“Hello, General Xu Qian, I have long admired your name!” Yuri smiled and extended his hand to Xu Qian.
After the two shook hands, Xu Qian asked directly: “How many troops do you need?”
Xu Qian’s Imperial Southern Military Region has three combined brigades and three guard brigades, with more than 75,000 regular soldiers. In addition, the Southern Military Region also has 15 reserve regiments, each with 2,300 troops. people, a total of more than 34,000 reserve soldiers.
These reserve troops belong to the southern reserve base, and Xu Qian also needs the emperor’s permission to mobilize the reserves.
“It doesn’t take too much. It’s enough to dispatch some police and guard troops. After all, the arrests are mainly in urban areas.” Yuri calculated in his mind and said to Xu Qian: “General Xu prepares the strength of three guard regiments. Just let the police in cities in Yangon and Mon provinces be on alert at any time to obey orders and cooperate with the crackdown.”
Xu Qian nodded: “In this case, I will mobilize an armed helicopter brigade and a transport helicopter squadron to be on standby at any time.”
The three guard regiments have about 7,000 troops, and the police forces in the two southern coastal provinces have about 30,000 people, which is enough to deal with some resistance organizations without heavy firepower.
Moreover, they are paramilitary forces and violent organizations. This operation does not require them to conduct intelligence investigations. They only need to cooperate with the repressive operations of the Third Intelligence Department.
In other words, they only need to know the coordinates and targets, and directly send heavily armed military and police forces to arrest them, and kill any rebels they encounter.
The police forces of the Qin Empire are equipped with individual light weapons and bulletproof vests, making them quasi-violent institutions. The armed police forces are equipped with various light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and even small drones.
“By the way, there are rivers crisscrossing the two southern provinces. I will prepare two more inland river patrol teams and follow your orders.” Xu Qian took into account the complex situation of the southern water network and ordered others to prepare several small patrol boats. Patrols on standby.
“Then I’ll bother General Xu.” Yuri nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, it was pouring rain outside.
————————
In Yangon City, in the villa area by the Royal Lake, Dechen Aung Yue, who is in his seventies, stood on the balcony, looking at the heavy rain and gloomy sky outside, always feeling uneasy and feeling bad. something is about to happen.
“Father.” Just as he was frowning, a call came from downstairs.
Under the umbrella of a servant, Dechen Badu trotted up the stairs and came to the balcony.
“There is news from Mr. Harlan that the Imperial Ministry of Education has sent many, many teachers directly from the central government to various schools. Each school has one to five people parachuted in, ranging from elementary schools to universities and even kindergartens!” Deqin Badu anxiously brought a piece of news.
Hearing this, Deqin Angyue’s frown tightened even more.
Harun is a Burman who works in the Yangon City Education Bureau. He was a classmate of Dechen Badu and is considered one of the officials supported by the Dechen family in the government.
Although he does not have much power, the revelation of some information that this kind of small public servant occasionally comes into contact with is crucial.
For example, what happened with Harun this time.
As a large Burmese family, the Deqin family has lasted for more than two hundred years. It was engaged in trade in the city of Yangon during the last dynasty of Burma, whether it was the colonial period of the British Empire or the occupation period of the Little Japanese Empire. Or the later civilian government and military government periods of Burma’s independence.
Relying on various political investments, the Deqin family has always been the richest man in Yangon. It has a high reputation in southern Myanmar and even the entire Bamar ethnic group.
Moreover, the Deqin family is also one of the few Bamar families with a fixed surname.
The Burmese and some other Southeast Asian ethnic groups do not have a tradition of surnames. For example, the emperors of the dynasties in the history of Burma also had no concept of surnames and used names directly.
The first-generation patriarch of the Deqin family grew up around the Chinese ethnic group and was exposed to Han culture. After he became successful, in order to continue the family, he followed the example of the Chinese in Burma and passed on his name as a surname. .
It has been more than two hundred years since then, and the Deqin family has become a prominent family in Myanmar, with many connections in the military and civilian government.
Members of the Deqin family have served as deputy speakers of the National Assembly of Myanmar’s civilian government.
Even though the Deqin family has not produced any top officials, their relationships are spread throughout the Myanmar military and civilian factions. Whether the civilian government comes to power or the military government comes to power, the Deqin family will not be affected.
This is also one of the reasons why the Deqin family has been able to survive for more than two hundred years. It does not want to stand out or get involved in power struggles.
It can also be said to be a wallflower.
But now, with the rise of Qin, everything has changed.
The Chinese ethnic group, which was previously not recognized in Myanmar, has become the country’s ruling class, while the Bamar ethnic group, the most populous, has fallen and become a second-class citizen.
From the initial rise of the Qin Empire to its current occupation of the country, no Burmese family was involved. It even began to vigorously promote Chinese cultural education and replaced Burmese textbooks with Chinese textbooks.
This made the Deqin family and other big Burmese families who survived the civil war aware of an unprecedented crisis!
Of course, Dechen Aung Yue also tried to cling to senior officials of the Qin State. For example, when the Qin army entered Yangon City, Dechen Aung Yue joined several other big Burmese families to persuade Yangon officials to open the city and surrender. In order to leave a good impression in front of the Qin army generals and pave the way for the family.
But……
After the Qin army occupied Yangon, they did not clean up the big Burmese families and officials who had surrendered in Kaicheng like they did the Burmese military government, but they did not (Li’s) use them.
As a result, the Deqin family and other big Burmese families saw that the new empire could not accommodate their Burmese families, so they began to secretly contact other resistance groups.
Because most of these resistance organizations are composed of remnants of Myanmar’s former civilian government and military government, these big families have also been able to contact each other smoothly.
They even used the empire’s teaching material reform to provide money and effort to encourage the Burman people to resist the teaching material reform in order to achieve their own goals!
Deqin Angyue had thought that the empire would use various methods to target them, but he did not expect that the empire would directly send a large number of Chinese teachers to various schools, even kindergartens.
The Bamar teachers who were originally willing to follow them in resisting the reform of teaching materials did not dare to speak nonsense. The empire also attacked the underground printing factory of the resistance organization and arrested many people.
But it did not appease them, the Bamar people.
It seems that the dark clouds before the rainstorm are so gloomy and scary… so much.
