There is no harm without comparison!
As time goes by, anyone with access to information can glean some clues.

The Northwest Branch, an important part of the alliance, is performing increasingly well, while the Mandalay branch pales in comparison.

The situation in northern Myanmar is clear to anyone who takes a look.

Apart from being located on a major transportation route, the few so-called prosperous towns are actually barren lands with an appallingly low level of development.

Under Wu Aiguo's leadership, the Northwest Branch has undergone tremendous changes in just a few years.

Putting aside everything else, the hundreds of Red Flag Farms belonging to the Northwest Branch are definitely the most eye-catching scenery on this barren land.

The Northwest Branch is also receiving increasingly higher praise domestically.

With the establishment and operation of the five small industrial-related factories and mines supported by the company, the region under the Northwest Branch has begun its industrial development.

With the most basic industry, a self-sufficient model can be gradually established.

This is how a promising alliance should behave.

Putting aside other factors, with the secretive bullet factory capable of continuously producing qualified bullets, the Northwest Branch no longer needs to rely on domestic support for ammunition.

Currently, the Northwest Branch is applying to domestic companies to purchase production lines for mortars and artillery shells.

If this can be implemented, it will be of great significance to the Northwest Branch.

At least, for small-scale, low-intensity battles, the Northwest Branch's mobile forces can fight whenever they want.

The Mandalay authorities are unaware of any of this!

If they knew, they would most likely break through the defenses!
Even so, they felt immense pressure.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be locked in a fierce and protracted battle with the so-called orthodox Myanmar government, causing continuous warfare in Myanmar's most vital regions.

They have no shortage of supplies or weapons, and they don't even lack combat troops. They can easily muster more than 50,000 men.

Ahem, the existence of the Northwest Branch has severely compressed the living space of many tribal militias in this region.

Some of their high-ranking members hold significant positions within the league's core teams.

Some leaders who couldn't stand the strict control of the Northwest Branch, along with their confidants and misled underlings, defected to Mandalay in waves, where they lived a life of luxury.

The Northwest Branch also helped Mandalay promote the company, and the results were quite good.

Mandalay is, after all, Myanmar's former stronghold, and it still has a great reputation.

Coupled with broadcasts and private rumors, the main forces of the alliance in Mandalay were being touted as if they could sweep across the entire country at any moment and that a great victory was just around the corner.

In any case, the publicity was absolutely effective, with almost no negative information about Mandalay. Local tyrants who wanted to gain some "merit from the emperor" would naturally have to actively and proactively join the "royal army."

In this way, combined with the previous armed cleanup operation, the Northwest Branch was spared a lot of trouble.

However, Mandalay cannot do without domestic ammunition support.

It gives people the feeling that it is quite 'empty'!
Of course, the Northwest Branch's publicity strategy is divided into internal and external approaches; we can't afford to mislead our own people.

Internal propaganda, on the other hand, was much more "realistic".

Coupled with some discordant comments and critical articles, anyone with a sound mind wouldn't have high expectations for Mandalay.

Unless, the Mandalay side achieves a major victory!
Wu Aiguo certainly wouldn't explain these things so clearly to Huo Daheng, nor was it necessary.

To put it bluntly, Huo Daheng was a business ally that Wu Aiguo valued.

That's all, no need to ask for too much! In short, when tycoon Fok and the Hong Kong businessmen left, they were in a pretty good mood, feeling that the trip was worthwhile.

The delegation sent from China naturally saw everything that happened at the Northwest Branch, and since Wu Aiguo didn't try to hide it, he reported it to the Chinese side immediately.

This surprised many people in China.

I have gained even more recognition for Wu Aiguo's abilities.

With this ability to make money, you can live a life of luxury no matter where you are.

At the same time, the domestic authorities readily agreed to sell some of the production lines needed by the Northwest Branch, and also provided a one-stop service including subsequent installation, commissioning, and employee training.

In fact, dealing with the Northwest Branch in China is much easier and more pleasant than dealing with the Mandalay branch.

They all requested domestic support, but Mandalay offered no response whatsoever, just kept trying to get something for nothing.

Despite continued domestic support, the staff of the relevant units responsible for specific tasks were not entirely satisfied.

Conversely, the Northwest Branch submitted a more proactive request for support than the Mandalay branch.

But here at the Northwest branch, tickets aren't free.

Besides employee welfare subsidies, all other machinery, equipment, and assembly lines were paid for.

Moreover, what they paid for were knives that were in urgent need in China!
Of course, the Northwest Branch's actions made it easy for certain entities in the country to perceive Wu Aiguo's ambitious aspirations.

However, this did not cause resentment among domestic entities; on the contrary, it made them value Wu Aiguo and the Northwest Branch even more.

Having ambition is fine, the key is being able to realize that ambition.

At present, Wu Aiguo and the Northwest Branch seem to be performing much more reliably than the Mandalay side.

This isn't the Republic of China era anymore!
Domestic support for Mandalay is also limited.

To date, China has not provided any support for a cannon or shell with a caliber of 75mm or larger.

There are some things you must keep in mind!

Honestly, the behavior of the Mandalay side makes it hard to trust them easily.

If they really take over the whole of Myanmar, will they become the next Annan? Nobody knows for sure.

In fact, it was obvious to anyone with eyes to see that the war in Annam was nearing its end, and it was just a matter of how the United States would leave in a 'graceful' manner.

However, Annam clearly sided with Mao.

This is what it's like in China. I feel really bad. All the support we've received over the years has been wasted.

If Myanmar were to join the fray, it would be a real disgrace.

As a reborn individual, Wu Aiguo had a keen understanding of the current international situation and remained calm and composed.

They focused all their efforts on accumulating sufficient strength.

The Northwest Branch has no shortage of basic weapons and ammunition.

What's lacking are heavy weapons with the ability to cause mass destruction.

While the country is unwilling to open up, there are other ways to operate. For example, at this time, Annan has no shortage of advanced weapons.
