Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Chapter 273: Prelude to War (Two updates, 8000 words!)_2

Su Jie took the document and read it carefully. After finishing, he said, “That's enough. We can't compete with the Eight Nation Group in terms of firepower and logistics. We must engage in guerrilla warfare in this battle–it's our advantage.”

Su Jie picked up a pen and jabbed it on the map, landing on a range of mountains.

“The core of this confrontation lies at the Ruo Kai Mountains, the gateway to Ji State and the dividing line between us and the Chan Country Government.

“Once they occupy this area, they can pierce into the plains of Ji State. Ha, I would actually be disappointed if they didn't come. We need to spill some blood of the Eight Nation Group here and drain the living force of both the Chan Country Government Army and the Japanese Soldiers.”

A cold light flashed in Su Jie's eyes as Liu Yingying followed his gaze.

Chan Country spans about 678,500 square kilometers, with its terrain high in the north and low in the south.

The north is mountainous, the east is plateau. Between the west and south lie the Ruo Kai Mountains, separating Jieke Group's territory on the west and the alluvial plains in the south, which is the essence of Chan Country and the core of the Chan Country Government's control.

This Ruo Kai mountain range separates Jieke Group and Chan Country Government and is also the real focus of this war for both sides.

“This war will probably be very brutal.”

Liu Yingying took a deep breath, having this premonition.

Su Jie touched Liu Yingying's cheek with a smile, “Heh, the ones that will be entering the fray this time are just the dogs raised by the Beautiful Country. No matter how ferocious the guard dogs are, once they enter our forest territory, they're merely snacks when they encounter jackals, tigers, and leopards. If we don't break a leg of this vicious dog, I won't let them return.”

“Yes, we will certainly win.”

Influenced by Su Jie's confidence, Liu Yingying nodded firmly.

Just as Su Jie had anticipated, it didn't take a week.

On January 23rd, the President of the Beautiful Country made a public television speech, “In view of the rampant illegal forces in the Chan Country region, with immediate effect, we will dispatch two amphibious landing group combat formations, deployed in the southeastern sea area, to maintain the navigational lanes and safety of the region.”

This move by the Beautiful Country wasn't anything new, as the fleet of the Blue Star Dominator was often on the move. However, when paired with some actions of the Eight Nation Group, this behavior became quite suggestive.

The Prime Minister of Japan spoke at a press conference the following day, saying, “Together with our ally, the Chan Country Government, we are working to contain the extreme radical organization Jieke Group in the northwest of Chan Country, and in order to prevent the people of Chan Country from suffering under Jieke Group, we are fully prepared to go to war if necessary.”

In addition, the other six countries of the Eight Nation Group announced one after another that to strengthen military cooperation within the group, they would each send a task force to conduct a joint military exercise near the border of Chan Country within Siam.

Shortly after these announcements were made, early warning planes, electronic reconnaissance planes, electronic signal planes, and battlefield surveillance aircraft started taking off in large numbers daily around the Japanese base within Chan Country, performing high-intensity reconnaissance and surveillance over East Qin State and Ji State areas.

Also, over a hundred fighter jets were deployed to the prime area of Southern Chan Country, patrolling the edge of the war zone with live ammunition every day.

At the same time, in terms of public opinion, the Eight Nation Group also began to exert their influence. The European and American media, which hold the words of the mainstream world, repeatedly accused Jieke Group, slinging mud at them.

“Listing ten heinous crimes of Jieke Group: human biochemical experiments, oppression of freedom, wartime atrocities, economic dictatorship…”

“The people of East Qin State and Ji State are suffocating under the occupation of Jieke Group, this region is becoming Blue Star's largest concentration camp.”

“A Demon Cave that acts in the name of a company but actually commits devilish acts. The children of East Qin State cry, the girls of Ji State weep–this place needs to be redeemed with freedom and democracy.”

“The oppression and blockade by Jieke Group in their territories have led to an extremely severe humanitarian crisis. It is necessary to disband Jieke Group.”

These news stories were disseminated through newspapers, radio, television, the internet, spreading all kinds of information, relying on a strong network to smear Jieke Group.

Even in the absence of evidence, they deliberately staged photos and produced ambiguous videos of Jieke Group persecuting the population.

The Western mainstream media unreservedly splashed dirt on Jieke Group, while keeping silent about the atrocities of the Chan Country troops. Western online platforms censored and blocked voices against the Eight Nation Group.

However, with the rise of internet as a media platform, the truth still spread through various channels. Truth can't be contained, and people around the world still maintained neutrality.

With such a series of dangerous statements and military movements from the Eight Nation Group, countries and military experts also sensed a strong whiff of gunpowder. It seemed like Chan Country might be on the brink of war once again.

Faced with the suddenly tense situation, Jieke Group also responded.

Many ordinary people in East Qin State and Ji State received educational materials such as air defense warning instructions.

Air defense constructions were opened one after another, and related air defense drills took place every week.

Near the Jieke Group's border with the Chan Country Government, the nearby cities started to enter a secondary emergency state, while the cities on the front line entered a primary emergency state.

Ordinary citizens near these cities began to distribute some emergency supplies and conducted a certain degree of evacuation.

Meanwhile, in the Jibang Region, all the factories were converted to a wartime system, no longer producing ordinary civilian goods, but entirely military products.

To protect this important industrial base, Jieke Security deployed several sets of air defense missile systems purchased from Mao Bear.

To cope with the future logistical pressures, the railway, highway, and air transportation systems were all under control, and the reserves of materials such as steel, cement, and grain increased gathering speed.

At this time, the stand-off between Jieke Group and the Eight Nation Group made it clear to the entire world that a war was inevitably going to break out here.

The previous ceasefire was due to a high-tech war, which brought great logistical pressure due to enormous consumption.

During the ceasefire, both sides were replenishing logistics, and now that they were replenished, the war was naturally going to sweep through again.

In the Northern Territory of Chan Country, Neibi City, Xinhui Park.

CIA senior commissioner Lloyd Alv entered the park escorted by a team of warlord soldiers.

“Don't hit me, please don't hit me anymore.”

“Help, I really don't know anything, it really has nothing to do with me.”

“I was just a little bit away from completing my performance, please spare me this once.”

Cries and screams were heard, and as Lloyd looked over, he saw many men and women locked in water cells.

Some warlord soldiers were holding iron sticks with sharp tips, continuously striking the water.

On the ground, some warlord soldiers, brandishing machetes, forcibly stretched out others' fingers and swung down.

There were also warlord soldiers with electric batons, shocking people to the point of screaming terribly, and soiling themselves.

“Tsk tsk, such a barbaric style,” Lloyd murmured with a light chuckle. The Northern Territory of Chan Country was always a paradise for various warlords due to its underdeveloped industry and location amidst continuous high mountains and virgin forests.

The place was filled with the stench of sin and death, gambling, fraud, extortion, blackmail… All the darkness you can imagine existed here, almost on a daily basis.

Men and women were bought and sold like livestock, and any laws were mere empty talk here.

Passing through the chaos of the park, Lloyd was led to a conference room in a tall building, where people were already waiting.

Six men sat there, some dressed in local Chan Country ethnic attire, some in suits and leather shoes, and some in military uniforms adorned with a string of medals.

“Hehe, all six families have arrived; it seems I'm the late one!” Lloyd said with a smile. These six men were the largest of the six warlord factions in the Northern Territory of Chan Country, deeply rooted and ruling like families for many years.

They were the Wa Xin Defense Army, the Kegan Alliance Army, the Beichan Independent Army, the Delun State Army, the Myanmar Border Guard, and the Shan State Liberation Front.

The sizes of the military forces of these six warlords varied, with the Kegan Alliance Army having an army of 100,000 soldiers, and the other warlord militias numbering above 50,000.

Of course, if you remove the fluff, that number should be about half, because these warlords often included military dependents, patrol militias, and even police in their count, making the actual number very questionable.

“Lloyd, if you want us to help you fight against Jieke Group, you must agree to our conditions. No matter how strong your Beautiful Country is, it won't work here,” said Wu Anglay, the leader of the Kegan Alliance Army, with a very arrogant tone, seizing the desperation of the Beautiful Country now in urgent need of strength.
