After the military coup led by Min Aung Hlaing in 2021, the tycoon generals had disagreements with each other. The high-ranking generals removed, expelled, the most cases of imprisonment. Now, Myanmar army faces losing whole country including norther Shan state. The Military Council announced on January 8 that the Chief of (Navy) General Moe Aung gave retired and Lt. Gen. Zaw Win Myint has been appointed as a replacement.
That the Chief of the Navy replaced case was obvious how Min Aung Hlaing worried was lost for his power and it is also obvious that the generals around him have also lost trust on them.
There is already an example of the military council in the northern Shan region where the entire Regional Command Headquarters (Laukkai) surrendered their weapons. Brigadier generals from other armies, including Laukkai (Regional Command Headquarters). More than 2,400 troops and 1,600 family members surrendered. More than 4,000 small arms; Tin, armor cannon the army also had to give up the cluster munitions. Such a large number of soldiers and weapons was one of the biggest losses for the Military Council.
On the other hand, in order to prevent the same thing from happening again, senior positions have been changed over time and lower rank soldiers have been attracted by increasing their salaries. This increase in salary has not more than to comfort to soldiers not to escape from army.
Lower rank soldiers in army, the salary increase of 100,000 won’t cover their life. They reached in the front line and they don’t know whether it’s day or night. His wife had to hold a gun in the back of the battalion and do army security. If it is not appropriate, the children of the soldier family will have to give their lives.
In this situation, Min Aung Hlaing, the military leader, has no confidence in his subordinate generals. Because the number of soldiers who will be killed at the lower ranks are also less, it is seen that wherever they go, security is being taken care of more and more. Most notably, after the 1027 operation, On December 10, military leader Min Aung Hlaing’s trip to Lashio began. More security than before, A pistol was found attached to his waist.
These are the rifts between the ranks of generals within the military council. In addition to the surrender of the comrades at the bottom, it shows that the military leader himself is no longer safe, It was just one big crack that appeared to cause the collapse of the military council. These are the biggest blows to the military council of the revolutionary forces in the 3 years of the Spring Revolution. With the increasing speed of the offensive, I have reported that the end of the military dictatorship is near.
Yours sincerely,
