Chapter 310: Provoking a War (Second Update)
Zen State, Eastern Qin State.
In a village near Ji Bang.
Su Jie is visiting some displaced victims here.
"Fellow, don't worry, our Jieke Group will definitely make the decision for you. If you still have any difficulties now, just tell me and I will solve it for you right away."
Su Jie stood in front of an old farmer, holding his rough, calloused palms in his hands.
"Mr. Su, thank you, thank you very much. Jieke Group has been very good to us. The tents and food have been arranged in place. We have no difficulties now."
The old farmer shook Su Jie's hand excitedly and nervously. It was the first time he shook hands with such a big shot. He was so nervous that he trembled when he spoke.
Behind the old farmer, there was a house that was knocked down. It was blown up by artillery shells from Sakura Country.
The shell exploded dozens of meters away, causing serious injuries to several of his family members, who are still receiving treatment in the hospital.
"Jieke Group must not let those scum go."
"That's right! Someone came to me a few days ago to persuade me to move to Jibang in the south. Damn, what kind of life did I live in the past? Only the arrival of the Jieke Group made my life better. I'm crazy. Will run over and be exploited by them.”
"If the Jieco Group wants to recruit soldiers, my second and third sons are over 18 years old. They can become soldiers at any time and fight for the Jieco Group."
"Down with Sakura Country, long live the Jieko Group."
There were many villagers watching nearby, all filled with indignation at this time.
They originally lived in poverty under the rule of other warlords in East Chin State. Not only were their jobs insecure, but their monthly wages were barely enough to survive. They were often exploited and taxed with various clever excuses, and they cried and complained when they were wronged. Door.
After the arrival of Jieke Group, just the initiative of raising wages has gained countless fans.
The wages of the local people have doubled, and even tripled or even tripled or even tripled the wages of the local people. Not only have they reduced taxes, but they have also supported many helpless families and orphans.
Coupled with Jieke Group's investment in various livelihood infrastructure industries, it has built schools to allow children to go to school for free, built hospitals, significantly reduced medical expenses and even helped poor families receive medical treatment for free, smoothed roads, and made it no longer difficult for everyone to travel.
The biggest move is that the Jieke Group distributes the land owned by corrupt officials and warlords to the people, allowing many landless and extremely poor people to have their own land.
In addition, Jieke Group has recruited employees on a large scale, provides high benefits and remuneration, and distributes the income from insect farming. These are all visible to everyone.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. People who have experienced the management of Jieke Group never want to go back to the past life.
Now there are people who want to force Jieko Company to evacuate East Chin State and eliminate Jieko Company. Doesn't that mean they want them to go back to the poverty-stricken life?
This naturally led to a lot of opposition and extreme disgust towards the Zen government and Sakura country.
Su Jie turned around and faced the angry villagers. He raised his fist and said, "I understand everyone's demands. I promise you once again that we will never tolerate the enemies who harm our Jieke Group and will definitely fight for everyone." Give me justice, justice, and an explanation.”
Bang bang bang!
There was a burst of applause, and the villagers shouted the name of Jieke Group.
The accompanying official cameramen and reporters clicked the shutter to record this precious material.
After leaving the village, Su Jie got into the car and smiled at Liu Yingying beside him: "See, people's support can be used!"
Liu Yingying hugged Su Jie's arm and nodded: "With the support of these people, our winning rate is even higher."
"How is the preparation of the army now?"
Su Jie rolled down the window and looked at the green fields outside. His eyes seemed to see Jinlao Mountain in the distance, and he saw the solemn atmosphere there.
"At present, we have formed a total of eight brigades, including a heavy-duty composite brigade, which is mainly equipped with various armored vehicles and tanks. There are a total of 88 tanks, 112 infantry fighting vehicles, 12 40-barrel 122mm rocket launchers, and 18 122mm self-propelled howitzers. , as well as corresponding air defense battalions and engineering battalions, etc., with a total of 9,800 people in a brigade
The other seven brigades are two mechanized brigades and five mountain brigades. These brigades are mainly light armor and infantry and are also our main combat forces.
There are eight brigades with a total of more than 60,000 people. Among these eight brigades, there are also second- and third-class super soldiers who serve as scouts and battlefield vanguards, totaling 320 people.
In addition, we have also established an artillery regiment and an army aviation brigade, with 68 helicopters, including transport helicopters, general support helicopters, medical rescue helicopters, armed helicopters, and drone companies.
Finally, there is the Steel Battalion, which is directly under your control and is only responsible for you. There are 92 people in total, all of whom are first-class super soldiers, the ace of Jieko's security.
In addition to these regular soldiers, we also have reserve militiamen as reserves, who are deployed for training in their free time on weekdays. Of course, their combat effectiveness is certainly incomparable to that of regular soldiers, and they can also be deployed on the battlefield when necessary. ”
Liu Yingying told the data and the situation of the army without hesitation and without looking at the information at all. In order to manage the Jieke Group well, she worked very hard.
Su Jie touched his chin. The population of Eastern Chin State is now three million. It was originally only 27.8 million. People in other parts of the Zen Kingdom heard about life here and chose to migrate here, making the population reach three million. .
With a population of 3 million and 60,000 soldiers, the recruitment ratio of 50 to 100 soldiers set by Su Jie was still implemented. This ratio is just right. It will not affect the production and life under the rule of Jieke Group, and it can also ensure strong combat effectiveness.
It's not that we can't recruit more soldiers. The security conditions of Jieke are very favorable, and anyone who wants to get in must be admitted on a merit-based basis.
But there is no need for that. If 60,000 regular soldiers cannot handle the current situation, it will be useless to recruit new soldiers and throw them on the battlefield to fill the lines.
"What about the Zen government's military deployment, and the Sakura Kingdom, are all their garrisoned soldiers in place?"
Su Jie asked again. He had also been preparing for war in the past few days. Thousand-handed centipedes were constantly digging holes underground, and they were even more diligent than gophers.
"After accepting the qualifications of the Group of Eight, the Zen Kingdom has also been recruiting soldiers frantically during this period to refill the quota of soldiers who were left without pay. At the same time, many heavy weapons have been strengthened by the Group of Eight.
According to the information we currently have, the Zen Kingdom's navy, land and air force have a total strength of 350,000, mainly equipped with 600 main battle tanks of various types, more than 1,000 armored vehicles, 150 self-propelled artillery, and more than 800 towed artillery. There are 300 aircraft of various types, including 100 fighter jets, more than 120 helicopters, 25 transport aircraft, and more than 90 trainer aircraft.
Although these heavy firepower are relatively old and backward models, in such a large number, they are still an extremely terrifying force.
At present, all the soldiers of the Sakura Kingdom have arrived in the Zen Kingdom, and they are all in Ji Bang, with a total of about 8,000 soldiers.
Including the soldiers of the Zen Kingdom stationed at Jinlao Mountain in Jibang, the number of soldiers confronting us on the front line of Jinlao Mountain now reaches as many as 80,000. ”
Liu Yingying knew the enemy's situation very well, many of which were revealed by the external media themselves. It was not clear whether there was any bragging.
Judging from the paper's strength, the state of Zen's military preparedness is much stronger than that of the Jieke Group.
Especially in terms of heavy weapons, it is almost ten times that of the Jieco Group, and its air superiority even crushes the Jieco Group.
If it weren't for the fact that the Zen government had a lot of troops to defend against warlords from other directions, it would be impossible to recruit them all. Even if the quality of these soldiers was worrying, it would still put a lot of pressure on the Jieke Group.
"There's a lot of heavy firepower! We need to destroy some of it first."
Su Jie narrowed his eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. These things were a huge threat to Jieke Group.
"Ah! Do we want to fire the first shot first?"
Liu Yingying was shocked, hearing this idea from Su Jie's tone, which meant taking action first.
"Instead of letting the enemy prepare well and draw the war into Eastern Chin State, I prefer to take the initiative."
Su Jie touched Liu Yingying's pretty face and said calmly: "Please inform me, from now on, the entire territory will gradually enter a wartime state, close the domestic airspace, mobilize all regular military forces and special forces, activate first-level combat readiness, air-raid shelters and strategic logistics Warehouses are all enabled.”
"We. We are going to directly invade. In the international community, I'm afraid."
Liu Yingying's heart was pounding. Even though she had expected it, her little face tensed up nervously when she heard Su Jie's war order.
Su Jie knocked on Liu Yingying's head and corrected her wrong statement: "What is invasion? We call it liberation, liberating the oppressed people. You must stick to this statement externally."
Liu Yingying covered her head and looked at Su Jie with great admiration. This change of words made people feel taller.
"Then, the reason for the war"
"Leave this to me. Let the Steel Battalion prepare. First, give a grand meeting gift to those Sakura Kingdom soldiers who have come all the way to Zen Kingdom and have been provoking us recently with their funny faces."
Su Jie looked at the map spread out in front of him, with a cold smile on his lips.
Three days later, October 16th.
On this day, the Jieko Group announced that it would hold an anti-riot drill near Jinlao Mountain to increase its response measures and experience in dealing with rioters.
To this end, the only heavy-duty combined brigade of the Jieko Group, an aviation brigade, and three mountain brigades participated in the exercise. There were more than a hundred tanks, countless light and heavy weapons, and 30,000 soldiers entered the exercise area.
When this news came out, the outside world immediately judged that the Jieke Group's move was a forced response to the threats from Zen Kingdom and Sakura.
Many professional military commentators even swore: "The Jieke Group's high-profile exercises are just pretentious, warning Zen and Sakura not to mess with him. They actually exposed their own weakness. Otherwise, why would they go to war in such a big way? If it is enough, Powerful, can completely ignore provocation.”
But on the 17th of the next day, Jieke Group suddenly issued an official announcement.
"At 11 o'clock this morning, one of our exercise soldiers, Lu Qiufei, disappeared. After our close investigation, we found that the soldier disappeared near the Wuhe military camp where Sakura soldiers were stationed. We requested that we immediately search the camp. Sakura soldiers must Cooperate with our work. 》
The emergence of this statement immediately caused an uproar around the world, especially in East Asia, and it awakened long-standing memories.
