Eternity RPC Board
Tay Lanh province | Dein, 1599
Since the end of the Tieguonese political crisis months ago, hostilities only increased in eastern Hôinôm, while the political situation became even more tense than the other side of the border, after so many months of impasse. At the same time the activity in the Hôinôm-Tieugonese border decreased considerably.
Although supplies to the so-called "Democratic Republic of Hôinôm" had not stopped, the presence of "volunteers" and communication through the border had considerably declined. Tieguonese government has highly concerned about the fact that Tieguonese soldiers that had been active in Hôinôm had participated in recent protests in Tieguo, and that the provinces closer to the Hoinomese border had experienced a higher turnoil and violence by protestors than the national average -although this could also be explained because they were considerably poorer and the existence of ethnic tensions. The restoration of the social order at home took preference regarding Tieguonese goals on the region.
Fighting became most intense between Quang Cai and Tay Lanh, as well as Hoinomese forces considerably increased their artillery attacks from the north, this time without Tieguonese opposition or threatening a reprisal. After months and months of a deadly stalemate, things seemed to move forward faster and faster.
In the last three weeks, Tay Lanh forces unexpectedly started to collapse. In Tay Lanh, the Democratic Republic of Hôinôm felt intact and willing to resist the coming siege of the city, the largest controlled by Lâ Vân Quân's forces. However, along the province, closer to the front, their own soldiers started to abandon, surrender, or simply changing sides as soon as they could. When the Tay Lahn realized, it was too late. President Lâ Vân Quân called to resist, but as soon his government ordered moving the de facto capital to Hanh Minh, a smaller town 20 km from Tay Lanh, the Democratic Republic of Hôinôm collapsed as a house of cards.
Lâ Vân Quân himself was not able to reach their destination. Their convoy was attacked, which forced them to a more chaotic withdrawal. Their cars were forced to cross a nearby village, which they believed safe and still under the control. However, the Democratic Republic of Hôinôm had pretty much faded at this point.
They were ordered to leave their vehicles by a group of young armed men. They were wearing revolutionary uniforms, although several of the soldiers didn't seem to wear the green ribbons that Tay Lahn forces used. Cao Dùc Trai, deputy chairman of Tay Lanh People's Assembly since 1595, identified himself and praised the "authentic fervor of the revolutionary youth" and "brave spirit of [Tay Lanh] soldiers".
However, his speech was interrupted when a smiling young soldier shot him on the stomach. Despite the unexpected attack, the rest of the group did not seem surprised. The other members were forced to leave their cars, including Lâ Vân Quân.
Quân were protests were silenced when another soldiers hit him on the face with the butt of his rifle. He was then kicked, bayoneted and stabbed to death by a group of soldiers. One soldiers ordered them to stop, so they did and started to dragged his body toward a nearby road. His spilled through the way. But Quân was already dead anyway, and the Democratic Republic of Hôinôm died with him.
