Min Aung Hlaing ordered the arrest of 9 officers who had surrendered, what did he want to do?
Recently, more than 3,000 Burmese troops stationed in Lao Cai, Mixiangou and Nam Tian Mun were collectively raised white flags and surrendered under the leadership of the commander, Brigadier General Thon Thon Myint, including six brigadier generals and three colonels. Because after they were blockaded by the Kokang Allied forces for many days, many people did not eat for three days, and it was also a helpless move to choose to surrender.
After the Burmese army led by Brigadier General Thontun Min surrendered, the Kokang Allied Army gave them good food and drink, and also released them all, they just walked out of Lao Cai, 9 commanders with the highest rank were arrested, and there was news from the Burmese side that the Burmese army ** recently arrested 6 brigadier generals and 3 colonels who surrendered after the loss of Kokang. The purpose of the Burmese army** is to make an example of each other and prevent generals from other regions from surrendering before fighting, after all, Myanmar is now full of battlefields, and many local armed forces have risen one after another. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing was worried about affecting the morale of the army, so he arrested them. To demonstrate the Myanmar military's zero-tolerance attitude towards defeated generals. This is to ensure that the Kokang surrender will not be repeated in other regions.
However, a person familiar with the matter revealed that Brigadier General Tun Min will be fine, and the military ** is just doing it. The Burmese army is now under a lot of pressure. The Kokang Allied Army is attacking Lashio. Lashio is the largest Chinese-populated area in northern Myanmar, and the Kokang Allied Forces have already taken the second largest Chinese-populated area, Kokang, and the third-largest Chinese-populated area, Damengyi, as long as the Kokang Allied Forces take Lashio. It is possible to form a Huabang ruled by the Han people.
This is something that the Burmese army absolutely does not want to see. Therefore, the army ** may give these 9 officers the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, let them defend Lashio, and once again deal with the Kokang Allied Army.
Now the Kokang Alliance has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of them. Aung San Suu Kyi's People's Defence Forces (YPF) also began to fight the Burmese Army. The Kokang Allied Army took Lashio as soon as possible, and then established Huabang under the Han people's own administration. Otherwise, once Aung San Suu Kyi comes to power, she will not have this opportunity, because behind her is the United States and the West.
