C1543 Expected
1I looked at Qin: "What's wrong? "Qin."
Qin looked at me and smiled bitterly for a long time before saying, "Regarding the situation of the Self-Defense Forces, there are some situations that are just as we expected. However, just like one of the possibilities that we did not accurately foresee before, this is the only possibility. What does it mean now? Even if there were other results, they would also be within our expectations. "
I didn't know what to say, so I looked at Qin.
Including the development up until now, including Wu De's self-guard team sending him out of the country, I'm thinking, maybe this is also what Wu De had already predicted, maybe Wu De already predicted something like this to happen, or maybe this is not one of the possibilities that Wu De had foreseen. Even if he didn't achieve his goal on his side, he still has some tricks up his sleeve. Qin continued.
I said, "You think so much. "So far away."
"It's not that I want to think too much, it's that Wu will think too much and think too much into the distance," Liu said. I'm not thinking about these things, I'm thinking about Wu De. After all, Wu De is not Bai Laosan. His scheming and shrewdness are far from what Bai Laosan can compare with.
We don't want to overestimate our opponents and don't want to exaggerate their enemy's ambition, but we need to have a clear mind. We need to objectively view our opponents and not look down on Wu De. I even suspect that Wu De's recent actions were to make us underestimate him and relax our guard against him.
When we feel that his conspiracy seems to have gone bankrupt, maybe this so-called bankruptcy conspiracy is part of the plan he's implementing right now, and he will use this bankruptcy conspiracy to implement even more ruthless methods and schemes. I have a feeling that Wu De has left more than one backup this time, and a seemingly unsuccessful attempt may mean that he is gradually moving towards success, or is gradually implementing his most lethal move. "
Qin's words made me start to ponder. I felt that I could understand what Qin meant, but I was also a little confused.
Very quickly, Lee Shun replied. As expected, he had already reached Tengchong.
Lee Shun's reply was divided into two parts.
The first part is for the Taipei people's self-guard general command, we forward it. The contents are as follows: Thank you for your sincerity in looking forward to peace and cherishing friendship. I am aware that your Deputy Commander has come to convey to us all the intentions of your Commander and would like to express some of my thoughts to the Commander:
Firstly, the ideas and opinions expressed by our Vice Commander-in-chief to your vice commander are fully representative of me and completely express my basic wishes and opinions, which I fully agree with.
Second, just as my Vice Commander-in-chief had said, we are all Chinese, although your people are Thai citizens, they can't change the fact that you are Chinese, but it can't be changed, it can't be changed, it can't be changed either. Since we are Chinese, then, we should work together, not oppose each other.
Thirdly, it goes without saying that there are many reasons why we were previously at loggerheads with you and lacked communication and understanding. Perhaps you have always regarded us as bandits, bullies, scum of society and enemies of mankind. I do not wish to explain this point further, but I hope that the commander in chief will listen to the opinions of others in the Chinese circle before coming to a conclusion.
For our part, due to our own values and world view, we have a good opinion of some of the things you have done in your history, mainly on the matter of collective Thai citizenship and assistance to the Thai Government Army in the extermination of the Thai guerrillas.
On this issue, perhaps we also lack communication and exchange, perhaps you have the necessary difficulties. I think that when it comes to history, we should look forward to it and deal with it in a peaceful and friendly way. Let's not talk about the past anymore.
Fourthly, since the tension between the two sides of the border may be due to the lack of necessary communication and communication between the two sides, which led to the close confrontation between the two sides under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives and led to unnecessary bloodshed, I strongly endorse your proposal to maintain the necessary contact between the two sides in the future, and I am very pleased with the invitation extended to me by the commander in chief, and I accept it happily. When the time comes, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible.
At the same time, on behalf of the Military Committee of the Revolutionary Army and the Shan People's Autonomous Committee, I also extend a sincere invitation to the commander in chief. When it is convenient for him to come visit us and see what kind of organization we are. This will also help to increase mutual understanding and eliminate prejudice.
At the same time, I hope that, when the time is ripe, the parties can sign a package of peace agreements that will guarantee the long-term well-being of their populations and ensure the maintenance of a lasting peace on both sides. I even hope that both sides can develop comprehensive military exchanges and economic cooperation on the basis of peaceful coexistence and non-aggression, mutually beneficial and joint development.
Fifth, your offer to withdraw the position shows the great value and sincere desire for peace, and we deeply appreciate it. In response to your offer, we will immediately withdraw 2 km from the existing position. In this way, in addition to a river, there is a 4 km wide buffer zone between us and you, the demilitarized zone, which will undoubtedly play a positive role in easing the current tension between us.
This is the first part of the message that Lee Shun sent over. I will arrange for someone to forward the full text to the Self-Defense Forces.
In this message, Wu did not mention anything about the Self-Defence Forces sending Wu Deli out of the country, nor did he mention anything about delivering a letter to the other party.
I immediately arranged for the message to be sent to the Self-Defense Forces on the other side.
The second part of the message was sent to Qin and me. The content of the message was as follows: Vice Commander-in-chief, Chief of Staff, upon receiving your call, I would like to make a few comments:
First, at the moment, it seems that the situation is developing in our favor. At least on the side of the Self-Defense Forces, it seems that the threat is about to be lifted. When the Self-Defense Forces sent the man out of the country, it seemed their own will on one side. They felt that they were being used, and they finally thought of it. On the other hand, it also seems to be showing us a friendly gesture, an expression of the fundamental will not to engage in conflict.
As far as we are concerned, regardless of whether their wishes are true or false, regardless of their motives, the enthusiasm of this course of action must be affirmed. Although I did not explicitly mention the matter in my message to them, I also implicitly expressed my appreciation.
Secondly, the other party took the initiative to pull back two kilometers. Then, we need to have a response as well. They will pull back two kilometers, and we will also pull back two kilometers.
Both sides were wary of each other and did not dare to make a move first. However, they were both afraid that the other side would make the first move first, because they were afraid that the other side would make the first move first and then attack the other side first. In such a tense situation, it was easy for them to miss.
Fighting is of no benefit to anyone, especially to us. Our current situation is grim, and the threat from the western front has not been lifted, so we do not want to establish another opponent on the southern side. That way, we will easily fall into a situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Now that the other side has taken the initiative to retreat, that's good.
Third, despite a series of well-intentioned and seemingly sincere moves by the other side, including the removal of the troops, including the proposal to sign the peace agreement, and the invitation to me, we must remain clear-headed and not let our guard down. Our lack of understanding and trust in each other has always been one of the best things in the world, and it's never unusual for people to go back on their word.
Therefore, even though the troops had retreated two kilometers, they could not relax in the slightest. After retreating, they had to immediately set up a new defensive position and completely destroy the previous defensive position to prevent it from being used by others. Also, the buffer zone after the retreat is currently off-limits to any civilians.
Fourthly, based on the current situation in the south, I think we can, on the basis of retaining sufficient defensive strength, deploy the troops and heavy weapons that we originally deployed to counterattack, and deploy them to the west to strengthen the defenses at the west border. Do this right now, and finish it by the evening.
You clearly understand why we are doing this. Although the threat from the south cannot be said to have been completely eliminated, the possibility of it happening has been greatly reduced. Even if there is a real danger, it can last us at least one day.
At present, our threat comes mainly from the western and northwestern borders, and the biggest threat at this time is, I think, New Year's Eve, which means tonight. New Year's Eve was our biggest holiday. The other party must have known that we would celebrate New Year's Eve. They would have guessed that we would relax at this time. If the enemy wanted to attack, they would definitely choose to do it at this time.
Therefore, they had to pay extra attention to the west and northwest, in case the enemy made use of the New Year's Eve to launch surprise attacks. Although the current intelligence reports indicated that the western region was completely calm, they could not afford to be careless. From now until tomorrow morning, this was the most important moment. They had to maintain sufficient vigilance.
Fifth, even though something bad might happen on New Year's Eve, I still decided to stay in Tengchong to accompany my parents for one year. The affairs of the base camp will be decided by the and the chief of staff, so in case of an emergency, you don't have to ask me to decide on your own tactics and countermeasures. Of course, if there was an emergency, I would be able to return very quickly.
Sixth, tell the brothers that this New Year's Eve is going to be passed in a state of war readiness and tension. Everyone should contribute more. No one is allowed to drink alcohol on New Year's Eve. After this emergency has passed, if there's nothing else, I will make it up to everyone. I have already arranged for some people to contact the filming crew of Chiang Mai.
After reading Lee Shun's message, Qin and I fell silent. Both of us were thinking about something.
Indeed, tonight is a long night, New Year's Eve is the easiest time for others to seize the opportunity to attack. Lee Shun realized it, so did I and Qin.
Lee Shun still maintained a clear mind towards the actions of the self-guard army on the other side. Although the retreating troops and weapons were transferred to other places, he didn't let down his guard and still maintained enough defensive power.
