The military council’s forced recruitment of porters in many parts of the country has become very frightening. At present, there are about 80 cities that have been captured by the revolutionary forces. There are tens of thousands of people in the city where the two armies are engaged and the battle is fierce. In the meantime, the battle was not intense, but there were many cities that were under siege. The army is under simultaneous attack on many military bases throughout the country every day. Therefore, it can be said that the Military Council needs tens of thousands of troops.
Why is what the military council is doing so scary? According to the news these days, the military council is increasing its military strength to a surprising extent. Thousands of forces are filling up to fight back in North Shan. Hundreds of reinforcements are being sent to Taungkham. There is also a regrouping of forces in South Shan and an increase in military strength in Karenni. They also sent reinforcements by air to Rakihne. They also have sent reinforcements to Karen, and have troops in Baguio. In Taninthari, have increased forces and are preparing to attack. Many cities, including Pin Le Bu and Htee Chaing, where the town capture battle is raging in Sagaing Division, are sending reinforcements.
The fact that the army, which is being cut to pieces every day, is able to send reinforcements everywhere, and is able to reinforce in some places and make a counterattack, these are the people in the area under the control of the military council. In order for the army to have such a large number of troops, it does not have a manpower machine, it has to recruit people from the region it controls and draw porters. The military council is saying that the call-up of military personnel is almost four thousand or five thousand per month, but it is not the military call-up, but the manpower collected by porter will be in the tens of thousands. There are quite a few people who joined the army against their will and died on the front line. To overcome these, I see no other option but to believe in the military at high speed. There is nothing good about the revolution because it takes so long.
