I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.
Chapter 307 Clearing the Obstacles
“Mr. Yang, South Vietnam has increased its troops and transported weapons to the border. They really want to attack us!” Hong Kun said anxiously.
Yang Chen adjusted his posture and switched hands to answer the phone.
"Then congratulations on proving your abilities," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Hong Kun laughed heartily and said, "I'm actually a little nervous. We've always been bullied by them. This time, we must avenge our defeat and reaffirm our country's position in South Asia in one battle!"
Yang Chen encouraged them, "It's good that you have such confidence. Anyway, we've already made arrangements in advance. Just follow our tactics."
Hong Kun quickly replied, "Okay! Then I'll go all out and get to work! Just wait and see what the news says!"
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Okay! I'll be waiting to see the news. I wish you all the best in your first battle and hope you establish your reputation in the martial arts world!"
Upon learning that South Vietnam was reinforcing its troops on the border in preparation for an attack on Jianpu Village, journalists from authoritative media outlets around the world rushed there, hoping to obtain firsthand news material.
Jianpu Village issued an announcement.
"As a sovereign state, Jianpu Village has the right to decide on any form of economic construction on its own territory. This is a fundamental right of us as a sovereign state, and no other country has the right to interfere. If South Vietnam does not withdraw its personnel and equipment from the border within three days, we will consider it a declaration of war by South Vietnam. At that time, we will launch indiscriminate attacks on South Vietnamese military personnel, equipment, and facilities on the border to ensure the security of our border."
The announcement from Jianpuzhai quickly spread around the world, attracting netizens from all over the world to watch the drama unfold.
A netizen from Japan commented: "Is Jianpuzhai really this tough? Is this still the Jianpuzhai we know?"
A South Korean netizen commented: "Who gave Jianpu Village such courage? That's South Vietnam, the South Vietnam that has always bullied and oppressed them! Where did they get the courage to issue such a statement?"
A South Vietnamese netizen commented: "How dare this tiny, simple village be so arrogant? It seems they really need to be taught a lesson. You lost this time; we'll directly occupy Phnom Penh and Kep Port. Let's see how you'll build the canal then. Going against us, you're destined for a bad end."
A netizen from Jianpuzhai commented: "The South Vietnamese are no longer arrogant. Times have changed. You could bully us before, but that's absolutely impossible now. We have acquired the most advanced unmanned combat equipment. Your WWII-era junk is just there to consume our unmanned equipment; it can't cause us any harm. In this war, we will reshape the international order in South Asia and the Indochina Peninsula!"
A netizen named "White-headed Eagle" commented: "Jianpuzhai netizens are so confident! The Blackwater Group also had the most advanced unmanned equipment before, but so what? They were still utterly defeated by Yang Chen. Can you even understand how to use such high-tech equipment? We have already supplied South Vietnam with electromagnetic pulse weapons; your high-tech stuff is nothing but scrap metal."
……
Subsequently, South Vietnam also issued a statement.
The gist is that the canal alters the Mekong River's water volume, which will have a significant negative impact on their agricultural production.
In order to protect their agricultural production, they had to do everything they could to prevent the canal from opening.
They also gave Jianpuzhai three days. If Jianpuzhai did not announce the cessation of the canal project within three days, they would launch a full-scale attack on Jianpuzhai.
Hong Kun comes from a military family; five generations of his ancestors were soldiers. From a young age, he was instilled with the idea of making meritorious contributions and gaining great power.
Young soldiers yearn for military achievements, and Hong Kun is one of them.
If he wins this battle, he can rightfully take over the command of the three armies from his father.
Since South Vietnam has also issued such an announcement, there's no room for negotiation.
That evening, Hong Kun ordered a full-scale attack on weapons, equipment, and military installations along the South Vietnamese border.
Due to its geographical location, it's normal for the Indochina Peninsula to have various insects, such as mosquitoes and rodents.
Moreover, it was too late at night to tell whether those things were real or fake, so the soldiers of Jianpu Village successfully sent those small bionic robots to the military base in South Vietnam and locked onto the attack targets.
At 3:30 a.m., when the men were at their most tired, Hong Kun ordered the attack to begin.
Subsequently, a series of explosions were heard along the South Vietnamese border.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Chen arrived at the company to watch the morning news. All the major news platforms were pushing news about Jianpu Zhan's surprise attack on South Vietnam.
According to foreign media reports, Jianpu Village destroyed more than 150 military facilities along the South Vietnamese border, including countless howitzers, tanks, and ammunition depots.
Jianpu Village exercised great restraint, refraining from deliberately attacking its personnel and focusing all its efforts on destroying the enemy's weapons, equipment, and military facilities.
Even the electromagnetic pulse weapons that the Bald Eagles sent to support South Vietnam were destroyed immediately, without any chance to be used.
Immediately afterwards, Hong Kun held a press conference to announce their results to the world.
I don't know if his data is accurate, but according to him, all military equipment and facilities along the South Vietnamese border were destroyed, including South Vietnamese missile depots, launch sites, and launch vehicles. It would be impossible to rebuild these equipment and facilities in less than 30 years.
Jianpuzhai lost approximately 300 drones, over 500 various robotic beasts, and more than 10 small bionic robots, such as ants, spiders, mosquitoes, and flies.
However, Hong Kun emphasized that the reason these pieces of equipment were lost was because they were used for suicide attack missions, and very few were actually destroyed by the enemy.
This battle directly woke up the Indochina Peninsula and even the entire South Asia region.
We've truly entered the high-tech era. Those outdated equipment from the past are all show and no substance; once we're outmaneuvered, they're just scrap metal, only good for depleting the enemy's unmanned equipment.
Unfortunately, the weapons and equipment of South Asian countries are generally very outdated, mostly from World War II, with the more advanced ones dating back to before the 90s.
According to the old combat mode, these things are a bit old, but they can definitely be used. Didn't Da Mao and Er Mao use a lot of these outdated equipment when they fought?
Unfortunately, Yang Chen has changed the current combat mode. As long as the opponent cannot block signals around the clock, there is basically no chance of victory.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if the other side has nuclear weapons, these unmanned vehicles could infiltrate in advance and destroy their launch equipment, thus preventing them from launching nuclear weapons.
Just as the world was praising Jianpu Village's victory, South Vietnam also held a press conference.
According to them, they successfully destroyed more than 300 drones, more than 500 various robotic beasts, and more than 10 small bionic robots such as ants, spiders, mosquitoes, and flies from Jianpu Village. They claimed a great victory in this battle.
This whole thing left people all bewildered.
How can a win-win situation be achieved when both sides claim victory?
Either one side wins and the other loses, or it's a draw. How can there be a win-win situation? Who loses then?
South Vietnam had no choice; they had indeed suffered a great loss, but they absolutely could not admit it, otherwise they would not be able to explain it to their people.
As one of the five permanent members of the YouTube network, South Vietnamese netizens are particularly active on international platforms. As long as they promote the idea that South Vietnam won, there will always be uninformed people who believe it to be true.
Hong Kun angrily called Yang Chen, complaining, "They're so shameless! They actually have the nerve to declare themselves the winner. I already said those were equipment losses from a suicide attack, but they actually claimed they destroyed them."
Yang Chen smiled and said, "That's not important at all. What's important is that you won, and that's enough. They need to explain to their people; they can't do without this propaganda. But officials from all over the world know the result. You've got the result you wanted." Hong Kun laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Yang, what you say seems to make sense. Anyway, we've achieved the result we wanted. My father said he'll immediately announce a three-day national holiday starting tomorrow to celebrate, and then a cabinet meeting will be held three days later to formally hand over military power to me. Mr. Yang, thank you for your help; I will always remember your kindness."
"Congratulations, congratulations. You don't need to remember any favors I've done for you, just don't be like some people who kick you after you've served your purpose," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Hong Kun immediately said, “Mr. Yang, please rest assured. I dare not say anything else, but I will never betray you in my lifetime. I will also do my best to educate my descendants to be on good terms with Mr. Yang’s descendants. I am not one of those ungrateful wretches who do not know how to be grateful for favors. I also know my own strength very well. Without Mr. Yang’s help, I could not have won, let alone taken over the army so early.”
There is no doubt about this, because when Yang Chen met Hong Kun, he had already tested him with his mind-reading ability and confirmed that he was indeed a grateful person who had a clear understanding of himself, which is why Yang Chen helped him in this way.
"Haha... Alright! I hope we can be good friends for generations to come. Now there are basically no obstacles, and we need to speed up our canal construction so that we can start trial navigation before the end of the year," Yang Chen said with a smile.
With eight construction teams working simultaneously, the 8-kilometer canal can be completed in a maximum of two months, and it will be officially open to navigation before the end of the year.
Hong Kun quickly replied, "No problem, we'll fully cooperate! Also, I've noticed that Mr. Yang's equipment is incredibly powerful. We need to replenish what we lost to maintain all four unmanned combat battalions at full strength. We don't have the money to buy more, but we can exchange it using our own mineral resources. Is that alright?"
Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Alright! You talk to Guo Hu, he can make the decision. If you can't reach an agreement, then come talk to me. Okay?"
Hong Kun immediately replied, "No problem! Then I won't bother Mr. Yang any longer, bye."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, then hung up the phone.
It's good to be broke. If you're broke, you can exchange resources for them. Yang Chen got the resources and then offered them to his compatriots at a low price. He was very happy.
On the other side, at the bald eagle's home.
The bigwigs from the military and the Ministry of National Defense gathered together for another meeting.
"Fuck! What's going on in South Vietnam? Why didn't they use the electromagnetic pulse weapons we urgently provided them with?" Hania roared.
CIA Director Statham said, "Our intelligence indicated that Jianpu Village launched a night raid. They had infiltrated the village beforehand with that damned equipment and launched a sudden attack. The South Vietnamese equipment was destroyed before it even had a chance to be activated. Basically, only the soldiers' personal weapons and ammunition were putting up a fight; the other heavy weapons were destroyed before they even had a chance to be activated."
Defense Ministry representative Chris said, "The battle at Jianpuzhai was fought so brilliantly that it can be used as a model for modern warfare to study. This battle directly enhanced their status and prestige. No one in the Indochina Peninsula, or even South Asia, will dare to provoke them in the future. And since they are on good terms with Yang Chen, it is basically equivalent to Yang Chen indirectly controlling the entire Indochina Peninsula."
NSA chief Richardson said, "So that means we've basically lost that area. From now on, they'll only listen to Yang Chen's orders and won't take us seriously. Fuck! Why can't our weapons experts develop these advanced equipment?"
FBI Director Parker said, "The equipment isn't difficult to produce; we can manufacture it, it's just a bit expensive, but money isn't the real issue. The problem now is that we can't replicate Yang Chen's tactics. How he connected various pieces of equipment to work together is what we need to study. If we can figure this out, we can also build such a technologically advanced unmanned combat force. But that's a story for later. Right now, we should be discussing whether or not to continue supplying South Vietnam with weapons and encouraging them to continue their operations."
Everyone was silent.
Anyone familiar with the international situation knows that the US loves to stir up trouble everywhere. The US and Russia are already enough to give them trouble. If they were to support South Vietnam and launch a large-scale war against Jianpu Village, they would be overwhelmed.
Moreover, the Southern Yue might not necessarily be willing to heed their instigation and launch a large-scale attack on Jianpu Village.
Just as they were discussing this, Haniah's secretary came in to report that the South Vietnamese were going to send a delegation to the Bald Eagles' home to hold a victory speech and propaganda campaign, and they hoped that the Bald Eagle military could cooperate.
When these words were spoken, all the bigwigs present were dumbfounded.
"Fuck! How can they be so abstract? It's one thing to fool their own people, but why do they want to fool us too? They actually expect us to cooperate, what are they thinking?" Hania said angrily.
Chris said, "They think it'll be more convincing if we cooperate in their victory propaganda, so their people and other unsuspecting countries will believe they really won. Fuck! I could never have come up with this kind of crazy tactic!"
Hania said, "I'll call their military officials later, they're such freaks!"
……
At this time, the Thai military was holding a meeting.
Su Mingcha said, “Everyone saw how easy the victory at Jianpu Village was, and we also have Mr. Yang’s unmanned combat battalion. If we don’t take this opportunity to completely eliminate the Malay threat, how will future generations judge us? Will they judge us as cowardly and weak, or as complacent and lazy?”
Su Mingcha's father, Su Ercan, said, "That's right, my son is right. The opportunity has come. If we don't seize it, future generations will only judge us as a bunch of good-for-nothings who, despite possessing powerful weapons, have accomplished nothing and opened up no territory. If we don't resolve the issue on the Malay Peninsula today, our descendants will face great trouble sooner or later, and they will have to stand up and fight to the death to solve it. But we can't predict the strength of the opposing forces at that time. We are sure to win now, but the future is uncertain. Let's fight the battles we need to fight so that future generations can live in peace."
To put it bluntly, the Su family saw that the Hong family next door had successfully taken this opportunity to smoothly transfer military power, and they also wanted to follow the model of the father and son next door to give Su Mingcha a great military achievement, so that Su Ercan could naturally transfer military power to his son, so that even if others had complaints, they would have no reason to stop it.
People are selfish; who wouldn't want to pass on their power to their son?
People are power-hungry and ambitious; who wouldn't want to take the power from their father's hands and put it into their own?
The others naturally understood the thoughts of the Su family father and son, but their reasons were so sound that no one could voice their objections.
Su Ercan said, "Since everyone agrees, then we've decided on this. Now we'll formulate a battle plan that addresses the hidden dangers in the southern region without making the situation too serious. We must strike the right balance."
Su Mingcha said with a smile, "There's no need to be so nervous. The Malays are much weaker than the South Vietnamese. After an attack, they will definitely take the initiative to seek peace and hand over those traitors who intend to divide our southern region."
Everyone immediately shared their opinions and formulated a battle plan. Once they finalized the battle plan, Su Mingcha immediately sent a copy to Yang Chen and called Yang Chen to explain it clearly.
After reviewing the battle plan and listening to Su Mingcha's explanation, Yang Chen chuckled and said, "Are you two using the equipment I provided to show off?"
Su Mingcha laughed heartily, "Even if that's true! We want the whole world to know that we are Mr. Yang's friends. Anyone who dares to oppose us will definitely come to a bad end. Anyone who dares to make things difficult for Mr. Yang will also be dealt with severely!"
Yang Chen said with a smile, "Now that the supplies have been provided, it's up to you how you use them. I have two requests that you must fulfill."
“Mr. Yang, please speak. I accept any of your conditions without hesitation,” Su Mingcha said.
"First, you are not allowed to invade others; you can only solve your internal problems. Second, if you cause trouble, don't drag me into it," Yang Chen said.
Su Mingcha quickly replied, "No problem, I accept Mr. Yang's terms."
Yang Chen said, "Yeah. You didn't call me, so I didn't know what you were up to. Understand?"
Su Mingcha laughed heartily and said, "Understood! In short, I will not leave Mr. Yang with any legal grounds for trouble under international law. I understand the basic principles of being a decent human being, so Mr. Yang can rest assured."
Yang Chen smiled and then hung up the phone.
Su Mingcha immediately got to work with confidence. To ensure all the credit went to him, Su Ercan ordered that he be solely in charge of the operation. This way, all the credit would be his, and he could rightfully take over the reins just like Hong Kun. (End of Chapter)
