It's just bizzare when you force historical events into the game. The Japanese almost never reach Burma in the game and have an event stating that Tai An-lan died in Burma while he was actually fighting in Northern China would be kind of weird. Also he might not have suffered the same fate if he was fighting another region other than Burma.
After all, this game is about how you can change history.

Ah, right. I forget that sometimes. Sorry-I got kind of excited.
