Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Chapter 221: Japan Garrison Arrives (First Update)

Hearing Dallas's words, Su Jie paused in his movements, looking quite surprised at him.

Seeing this expression on Su Jie's face, Dallas smiled and said, “Our Microsoft Company does have some clout in political circles. With a minor share of benefits allocated, we are largely confident in persuading those high-level politicians to forgo initiating military action in East Qin State.”

Dallas appeared very confident–Microsoft's main products nowadays are cloud computing and smart devices, mainly targeting corporate clients, and they have a massive number of enterprise customers all over the world.

And for these customers, naturally, interacting with government levels is unavoidable; the profits from government projects are extremely lucrative.

In this process, Microsoft had accumulated a substantial amount of network resources.

Not to mention, a tech giant like Microsoft would have its respective interest appeals and government spokespersons.

The essence of capitalism: politicians also need to serve capital.

The influence of Microsoft in the politics of the Beautiful Country is undeniably strong.

Hearing the firm promise from him, Su Jie finally shook his head and declined, “It's not that I don't trust President Dallas's promises, but regarding the cooperation on smart glasses, they truly are our non-sale items; there's no room for negotiation on this matter.”

Dallas frowned, Su Jie's stance was too firm; there were no discussions about shares distribution, no talks about capital input, clearly showing he did not want to cooperate with the outside world.

Although previously he had heard of Jieke Group's reputation for acting alone, it was only upon direct confrontation that Dallas realized the truth of those claims.

“Mr. Su, to be honest, your current situation is extremely perilous. If you cannot seek external mediation to resolve this crisis, I fear a total disaster is imminent,” Dallas said earnestly, re-emphasizing his company's influence.

“Now, the only one with the capability and desire to help you is our Microsoft Company. Mutual benefit and cooperation is the normal state of development in modern society. Your problem only needs some of the benefits from Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid to be distributed, and we at Microsoft guarantee that we will make the Beautiful Country's government call off their targeting of you.”

“Should I take this as a threat?”

Su Jie's smile slowly faded. If he wanted to allocate some benefits of the Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, he definitely didn't need the Microsoft Group to play the mediator.

“No, no, no, I don't mean that at all. Our Microsoft Company conducts legitimate business. We are not a military complex; we do not need to provoke wars everywhere to reap benefits,” Dallas hurried to clarify.

Dallas felt a chill in his heart. The intelligence he had gathered mentioned not only the various conflicts between Jieke Company and the Beautiful Country but also the man's character–absolutely ruthless. If he offended him here, Dallas feared he might not leave Mande City alive.

Maintaining composure, Su Jie picked up a cup of tea and said lightly, “In that case, President Dallas, please return. This is a dispute between me, Asder Pharmaceutical, and the Beautiful Country.”

Dallas, well-versed in Hua Country customs, understood this meant it was time to leave, so he regretfully stood up.

“Mr. Su, I hope there's a chance for cooperation in the future,” Dallas expressed his hope.

“I hope so,” Su Jie replied.

After walking out of Jieke Group, Dallas's tightly drawn face gradually darkened.

Coming here full of confidence, he did not expect to be directly rejected. After Microsoft Group became a multinational giant, very few companies dared to disrespect Microsoft like this.

Looking at the bustling streets of Mande City, Dallas felt somewhat regretful, “What a pity, you had the opportunity but couldn't seize it yourself. Soon, we'll only be able to obtain what we want from the remains of Jieke Group.”

Once Jieke Company is dissected by the Beautiful Country, the items that couldn't be bought today, with their influence, Microsoft could also purchase from the military of the Beautiful Country. However, by then, they would have to face competition from other tech giants.

“Better start preparing early, I'll contact Congressman James when I get back to ensure we get the juiciest piece of meat after the war.”

Dallas muttered to himself, thinking about how to secure the distribution of benefits after the war, mostly requiring Microsoft Group to make some contributions during the war to ensure they aren't excluded.

Throughout, Dallas was fully convinced that the Jieke Group possessed advanced smart glasses technology, not knowing it was all a misunderstanding.

In the office, Liu Yingying gently massaged Su Jie's shoulders and whispered, “Su Jie, the proposal from Microsoft Company…”

“Don't trust the words of capital. Even if we agreed to cooperate with them, they could turn on us at any moment, not to mention, we're challenging their hegemony, having offended the Beautiful Country so many times; they won't let go easily.”

Su Jie lay back on the couch and rested with his eyes closed, entirely unaffected by the olive branch thrown by Microsoft Group.

To truly believe a wolf would turn vegetarian was to be truly foolish.

Capital chases profits; if betraying Jieke Group could bring greater benefits, they would do so ruthlessly.

Besides, it wasn't as if Su Jie actually possessed any smart glasses technology and even if he did, he would never cooperate with Microsoft Group.

“Recently, the first batch of stationed troops from Japan has arrived near Yang City in Chan Country. These soldiers mainly come from the 13th Brigade and 1st Airborne Regiment. Currently, 2,000 personnel have arrived ahead via air transport, with the heavy equipment still being transferred, including an Aviation Mixed Group they're preparing to mobilize that is also undergoing transit and readiness checks at an airport controlled by the Chan Country Government Army.”

Additionally, our reconnaissance intelligence has found these soldiers undergoing mountain and jungle combat integration training, adapting to the local climate and environment.”

Liu Yingying mentioned another matter, regarding intelligence about the enemy's defenses.

Su Jie raised his eyebrows and sneered, “So eager to fight on their master's behalf, deploying their elite forces already. Then we must give them a surprise.”

The main mobile combat forces of Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force consist of nine divisions and eight brigades, including logistics troops, with a total active duty force of nearly two hundred thousand.

These eight brigates are joint operation units formed by Japan Self-Defense Force, modeled after the organizational structure of Hua Country and the Beautiful Country, possessing strong independent operation and special operation capabilities. The transferred 13th Brigade has a force of about 3,600 personnel.

The 1st Airborne Regiment, the only airborne unit of Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force, was established in 1955. Together with the 1st Water and Land Mobile Corps, they form the core of Japan's special operations, with a total force of about 1,900 personnel, under the Japan Army Central Mobile Command.

As for the Aviation Mixed Group, it primarily comprises aviation regiments, air early warning control units, and high-altitude artillery groups, and includes several squadrons of fighter jets like F-15J and F-15DJ, as well as transport and armed helicopters such as Chinooks, Cobras, and Apaches, having around 1,500 personnel.

With several naval ships deployed from Sakura Garden and accompanying the Beautiful Country's oceanic escort fleets patrolling in Bangladesh, the operations involve sea, land, and air forces.

“No wonder that guy from Microsoft in Dallas was so confident. It seems he had received a tip-off beforehand.”

Su Jie opened his eyes, and this war, in contrast to the last one where the Beautiful Country was careless and underestimated the enemy, the other side will definitely be more cautious.

Perhaps for the Eight Nation Group, as long as they advance step by step, they can squeeze Jieke Group.

After all, in terms of war potential, how could Jieke Group possibly be a match for the Eight Nation Group.”

“Not only has Japan deployed its military, but they've also offered to train soldiers for Chan Country and provided the Chan Country Government with a twenty billion US Dollar loan.”

Liu Yingying clenched her fist, deeply dissatisfied with Japan.”

“They want to make their presence felt here in Southeast Asia! They don't realize their own strength, wanting to bite off more than they can chew, risking breaking their own teeth.”

Su Jie chuckled. Japan is over four thousand kilometers away from Chan Country by a direct route, and even farther if traveling by sea.

The opponent has come a long way; just a simple cut-off in their logistics, and their soldiers would be at a loss.”

“Does the Beautiful Country have plans for their logistics?”

Su Jie asked, knowing that logistics are crucial in modern warfare, a fact understood by anyone who has been educated.”

“Yes, the Beautiful Country has already announced in the news that they will mobilize various overseas military bases and coordinate with other members of the Eight Nation Group, to provide logistics support to Japan, which will then be handed over to the Chan Country Government Army,” Liu Yingying reported, confident in the Beautiful Country's extensive global bases and powerful fleet to ensure a robust logistics supply.”

“Are other countries taking any action?”

Su Jie pulled Liu Yingying into his arms, his hands beginning to wander.”

With a faint blush on her face, Liu Yingying continued, “The Beautiful Country has announced an increase in counter-terrorism patrols and training in the AsiPacific region. Besides the Beautiful Country and Japan, the other six countries of the Eight Nation Group have not deployed troops to Chan Country, merely sending small escort ships to flaunt their presence alongside the Beautiful Country's escort fleet.”

The countries in Chan Country are mostly small and militarily weak. Although they would accommodate the Beautiful Country, they are entirely different from countries like Japan, which are deeply controlled by the Beautiful Country.

They possess considerable autonomy and would not wade into muddy waters unless the Beautiful Country offers substantial benefits.

“Even the Beautiful Country isn't stepping directly into the fray, yet Japan is active, truly a loyal dog.”

Su Jie didn't know what the Beautiful Country had promised Japan to make it lead the charge, but he had to admire the Beautiful Country's skills in handling their 'dogs.'

Without entering the fray themselves, they still had such a loyal dog baring its teeth and challenging Jieke Group.”

“These guys who live comfortably might still think they're the 'big boss' in Asia.”

Su Jie thought about it, his face speechless.

Japan once briefly assumed the lead in Asia, but then the 'big boss' position caught fire, grilling them severely and nearly costing them their lives.”

But having been powerful in the past, Japan most likely still aspires to be the leading power in Asia, seeking to flaunt its strength in the AsiPacific region through military conflicts with the Jieke Group.”

The Beautiful Country, leading this dog, may also fear the dog biting back, so by pitting it against Jieke Group, they can both sharpen and wear out the dog's teeth and energy.”

“In that case, we too should upgrade our military capabilities in response, even though the new equipment, needing training and integration, might not be used in this war,” Su Jie said as he stroked Liu Yingying's smooth long hair.”

“I remember that Russia will soon be hosting an international air show. Yingying, take a team there to discuss new arms trade deals.”

Liu Yingying nodded obediently and then felt Su Jie's playful hand, her face growing even more flushed, “Wait, wait, this is an office.”

“Doesn't that make it more thrilling!”

In the midst of Liu Yingying's mild protest and coy reprimand, the office was filled with an intimate atmosphere.
