Chapter 223
: Myanmar Navy Fleet
On June 5, the Corps had completely taken over the city of Mandalay and annihilated the 100,000 Burmese troops entrenched in Mandalay.
This marked the complete dissipation of the last batch of Burmese army troops that could engage in head-on combat with the Legion.
The remaining Burmese troops in various places either rely on the high mountains and long roads and the complex terrain to support their own troops; or they merge with the armed forces of ethnic minority separatists to form new resistance forces; of course, many Burmese troops choose to surrender to the legions.
The Myanmar National Defense Forces, which numbered 380,000 more than a month ago, now only has tens of thousands of people entrenched in the Mawlamyine area of the Southeast Military Region.
Under the leadership of Myanmar’s former southern theater commander Wei Lun, these Burmese defense forces merged with the rebels in the southeast theater to form a new resistance force.
It is known to the outside world as the “Southern Independence Group Army of the Myanmar United Government Defense Force”, with a total strength of about 60,000.
After the surrender of Yangon Province and the Legion’s troops invaded the Irrawaddy Province, Myanmar’s Navy 01 fleet also lost its base camp and shipyard. They sent personnel into Yangon to try to negotiate a surrender price with the Legion.
The Myanmar Navy relies on its special status to try to gain certain power in the new government. In fact, it is trying to become a military leader in disguise.
The Myanmar Navy has eight frigates, two submarines, 124 various patrol boats and auxiliary vessels, with a strength of more than 20,000 people.
The birthplace of the Legion is the Golden Triangle region, the most inland part of Southeast Asia. Although the army and air force are strong, there is no navy. Therefore, Commander of the Myanmar Navy, Mo Aung, believed that if the Legion wanted to consolidate and develop the coastal areas, it could not do without the navy. He If you take the initiative to negotiate, you should be able to get a good price.
But he obviously misjudged Wang Yao’s will.
“Tell Mo Aung that the naval fleet has entered Yangon Military Port to accept surrender, and I can give them conditions for leaving Myanmar.” Wang Yao snorted lightly in the face of Xu Qian’s report at the video conference at the Jingdong Red Police Sub-base .
Navy Admiral Mo Aung was born into a military family. His father was not only a military general in Myanmar, but also served as the leader of a certain political party in the previous government.
His family is also very powerful in Myanmar. His two brothers are engaged in international trade and have millions of assets. Mo Aung is a naval admiral, which must have provided a lot of convenience to his family.
When the Corps attacked Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar, Mo Aung was not in Naypyitaw. Instead, he sat at the naval base in Yangon and led the naval fleet to participate in the operation to pacify the rebels in the southeast theater, so he escaped.
However, many of his relatives were in Naypyitaw and were arrested by the legion, including his sons.
“The strength of the Myanmar Navy is indeed much weaker than that of other surrounding countries.” Chief of Staff Chen Lin said: “The Myanmar Navy has six frigates, including two 3,000-ton class, one 2,500-ton class, and two frigates. There are 1,700-ton class ships and three 1,100-ton class ships; in addition, there is a 16,000-ton comprehensive landing ship and two 2,300-ton class submarines.”
The only assets of the Myanmar Navy that can be seen are these few warships. The rest are small ships of several hundred or even dozens of tons.
Xu Qian added at this time: “By the way, when we occupied Yangon City, we also discovered a warship that was at the end of construction at the Yangon Naval Shipyard. According to the workers at the shipyard, this ship The warship is a frigate built by Myanmar with the technical support of the Dragon Kingdom, Tianzhu Kingdom, and the Tsarist Russian Empire, with a displacement of about 4,500 tons.”
After the Hehe 1st Brigade led by Xu Qian went south from Magway Province to occupy Ayeyarwaddy Province, it concentrated its main force on Yangon, ready to launch an attack on Mawlamyine in the southeast region at any time.
For this meeting, he was in Yangon.
“Four thousand five hundred tons?” Wang Yao was still a little surprised. Myanmar, a country with an ongoing civil war, could actually build a frigate of more than four thousand tons.
Although most of the equipment, radars, missiles, etc. should be purchased outsourced, it is quite good that this shipyard can integrate equipment from three countries and create a warship of more than 4,000 tons.
“It’s a bit basic, but not much.” Wang Yao said.
The Yangon Naval Shipyard is affiliated to the Myanmar Defense Industry Agency, a department under the military general staff. It not only allows the Myanmar army to produce its own bullets, but also produces its own rifles and some artillery pieces below 100 mm. As well as armored vehicles and warships currently in the shipyard.
You must know that there are only more than 30 countries in the world that can produce their own bullets.
If it were not for the civil war that lasted for more than seventy years, the strength of the Burmese army might be comparable to that of the Kingdom of Siam and the Kingdom of South Vietnam.
“I will truthfully tell the commander what he means.” Xu Qian said while sitting upright.
For Wang Yao, letting Mo Ang and his family leave this country is already the greatest gift.
As for their assets in Myanmar, don’t even think about taking them away.
A lot of the property they seized by using their status as a military family must have been transferred out, and there is no way to recover the money.
Considering that the Myanmar Navy fleet is at sea and the legion currently has no surface ships, Wang Yao added: “I will transfer another V3 missile battalion to you. If Mo Aang chooses to continue to resist, use ballistic missiles to destroy their largest surface ships.” Sink it for me! 410″
“After the red police sub-base vehicles are deployed, priority will be given to developing the navy.” Wang Yao instructed.
After the Corps occupied Yangon Province and Yangon City, it nationalized all the land around the seaport where the Myanmar Navy Shipyard is located. After cleaning it up, it was built as the Red Alert Yangon sub-base group.
Now the red police sub-base vehicle has been stationed here and is being deployed.
The next step is to build a shipyard and then produce various warships in the Red Alert system.
This is one of the reasons why Wang Yao looks down upon the thousands-ton ships of the Myanmar Navy.
With the Red Alert Base as his backing, as long as the shipyard is completed, he can quickly build a naval fleet that is only loyal to himself!
Excluding the integrated landing ship, the largest active warship in the Myanmar Navy fleet is only 3,000 tons. Even if the 4,500-ton frigate at the naval shipyard is included, the total tonnage of the warships is only 30,000 to 40,000 tons.
After Wang Yao’s Red Alert Base Shipyard is completed, it will be able to directly manufacture frigates with a displacement of seven to eight thousand tons, large destroyers with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, and even guided missile cruisers with a displacement of 20,000 to 30,000 tons and large aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons.
“Okay, the reports from various places are almost complete, let’s discuss the issue of establishing the capital.” Wang Yao looked at everyone participating in the meeting and said slowly.
