What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 636 What a Good Thing!
Jakarta is, after all, a major international city, especially with a large immigrant population.

Nearly 10,000 people witnessed Sharp boarding the warship, and local reporters desperately tried to go up and take pictures, but were not allowed.

When sharp-eyed reporters spotted Shart being evacuated under protection, they immediately crowded around him, eager to interview him.

However, as they got closer, they discovered that not only Shart and Serginho, but also Zhang Shan and Kimura Susumu, both dressed in uniforms, had come down.

The four stood in a row, and with the help of bodyguards outside, they were quickly surrounded by reporters from all walks of life.

Sharp first apologized again to the camera, and then shook hands with Zhang Shan once more:

"All disputes and misunderstandings concerning Gaijin that occurred on or before April 5th will now be resolved and an agreement reached!"

Before the surprised media could react, Shart immediately turned and walked toward the car, ignoring the shouts behind her.

As for Zhang Shan...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the King Kong has docked in Jakarta at the invitation of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Jakarta. We will be organizing open days for Chinese visitors over the next three days!"

"Okay, okay!"

As soon as his voice reached the crowd, Chinese people shouted and desperately pushed forward, recreating the scene from Wan Yap Harbour.

Especially since many of those present at Jakarta were members of large families, who had been living in constant fear of being slaughtered like pigs and sheep, they were overjoyed to hear that the King Kong would stay behind as a refuge.

Sergio, standing to the side, found the situation rather troublesome. According to the agreement, the second squad would retreat to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and the first squad, except for the Yorktown and Kongo which would stay behind to gather their personnel, would also retreat.

However, the Fusang and Friendship ships will continue their friendly visit to Jakarta...

This was clearly an attempt to urge him on, but with only two ships, he couldn't say much more.

But... looking at the excited crowd, Serginho knew that from today onwards, Zawa would undergo a dramatic change.

He had to hurry back to clean up the mess, and before leaving, he bid farewell to the two men with a complicated expression out of courtesy:
"Captain Zhang, from now on we can all relax a little."

"no, you can not."

Kimura Susumu (Tang Wen) looked south as he spoke, then smiled, raised an eyebrow, and turned back to look at Sergio's puzzled expression. He only spoke when Sergio, still confused, was about to leave:
"We did help persuade those two C130Hs to leave Sulawesi and not deploy personnel there, but they went to East Diwen."

"what!"

Tang Wen thoroughly enjoyed the astonishment and panic on his face. After learning about the story between Java and Kangaroo, he took the initiative to help the other party drive away Kangaroo's C130H under the guise of showing goodwill, causing Java's plane to return to its origin.

The latter expressed his gratitude after hearing that Gekin had reached a settlement with Jataka, since the planes from the Chuawa were not in good condition due to the hasty action, and it would be dangerous to fly for any longer.

The two transport planes of the kangaroo were furious that the A4 was blocking them, because the C130H's range was not long, and it would be enough to return after arriving, so it couldn't be delayed any longer.

Vincent also took over communications, preparing to berate Tang Wen. After A4 followed for a while, he directly ordered them to fly southwest. Then Lei Zhan claimed that several employees of Gaijin Company had been abducted to Dongdiwen six months ago and hoped to help find and rescue them.

The names of these "employees" are none other than the amnesty recipients of the second cohort of Hong Kong trainees.

After arriving in Bitung County by helicopter, Chen Quanrong, with the help of Lek, quickly found those who had aided and abetted the evildoers and learned that more than a dozen people had gone to Dongdiwen.

Here's the reason!

What are the kangaroos doing here? They're here to help with a humanitarian crisis.

Although the humanitarian crisis in Sulawesi has passed, the situation in East Devon still exists. Gekin Company can use attendance records to prove that those employees were abducted and their fate is unknown, which of course falls under the category of humanitarian aid.

After all, when they were released, all they had was a verbal statement, so if they said they were abducted, then they were abducted!

Upon hearing this, General Vincent immediately realized that Tang Wen was also a remarkable person, and promptly changed his orders, sending Bernard to East Devon to rescue the trapped Gagkin employees!

East Devon is only 600 kilometers from Davin, which is right on the return route. With a short wait, the warships can dock directly. It is also within the combat range of the F-18 and F-16, making it a target for the Kangaroo.

The kangaroo had originally planned to find an opportunity to control the area, and now that Geigin had given them an excuse, they immediately pounced on it.

Now... the time has come.

Serginho and Sharp had hoped to stop the Allied forces by making peace with Gekin, but this news was enough to ruin their plans.

Originally, they only needed to choose one of two options, but Tang Wen helped them make it a multiple-choice question where they could choose both.

"You demons..."

Sergio wanted to retort angrily but found himself speechless; his mind was completely blank. If Kimura Susumu was telling the truth, then this agreement wouldn't even need to be signed; the Allied forces would absolutely not allow it once they intervened.

But it's too late to say anything now. Sharp not only signed, but also admitted it in front of countless cameras...

Sergio felt like he was suffocating, while Tang Wen watched the whole thing unfold:

Cut your losses in time? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Sharp has hundreds of thousands of lives on his hands.

……

6 PM on April 5th

Before any news from Jakarta could even emerge, Tang Wen posted on a BBS, stating that all issues with Chuawa had been resolved, and simultaneously announcing the results of his investigation into the ruins of the auditorium in Bitung County: -
After the helicopter arrived at the location, people on the coast near Bitong County saw signs indicating that they were our company's detained employees. Except for a certain employee surnamed Ma, also known as "Little Ma," who is missing, the rest are temporarily safe.

According to the description, when the rioters set fire to the auditorium, an employee discovered a hole in the back wall and led everyone to escape successfully. During the escape, many people took off their clothes to squeeze through the hole. As for "Little Ma's" identification, it was taken away by Lec and then discarded, and its whereabouts are still unknown.
-
Numerous bodies were found inside the auditorium; most were identified as local residents, suggesting an accident while they were carrying explosives. The auditorium's collapse, likely due to years of disrepair, is still under investigation.
They hope the joint forces can help find Little Ma's whereabouts and are offering a reward of $20.

The announcement also stated that Gekin and Jadaga had reached an agreement on the previous issues, stipulating a compensation amount in the form of oil resources, and signed a Natuna lease development agreement. Several photos, described as being of cosplay quality, were also attached.
The first picture was taken from an angle. Zhang Shan, standing upright with a straight posture, is on the left, while Sharp, who is short, is bowing on the right. In the background are rows of angry sailors and the setting sun in the sky.

The following photos are from other angles, and one of them was even taken from the harbor, showing the Fusang ship filling the entire frame.

The message was still pinned to the top and pushed via a pop-up window, and was immediately pushed to the screens of hundreds of thousands of online users through the BBS.

When thousands of users clicked on the pop-up window and saw... holy crap.

At this time, the netizens were of a very high quality and had a good level of knowledge. After seeing that picture, I almost thought it was a hallucination:
Isn't this the USS Missouri of my Imperial Navy? How did it turn into my own battleship?
That illegally constructed bridge, that gray-black paint job... there's no mistake!
Given the Missouri precedent, wouldn't signing a document on the foredeck of a battleship be tantamount to surrender? Could it be...?

Japanese netizens, especially those browsing the internet at that moment, couldn't believe their eyes when they saw this scene and almost thought it was some kind of prank.

What does it mean that Zhuawa signed a surrender agreement on the Fusang?
Monsters! The Allied Fleet is really back!

Thanks to Tang Wen's post during the day that stirred up public opinion, staff at Prism Building were also monitoring the BBS activity via a dedicated line. Just as they were considering whether to launch a DDoS attack to cause some trouble, they saw the photos and were even more shocked after seeing the content.

It was 6 a.m. in Manhattan when the UN General Assembly, convened in the middle of the night, passed a resolution to intervene in the conflict. Kazimirz was outside dealing with reporters.
"...The Empire firmly opposes this inhumane behavior, but at the same time, the actions of the naval defense force are also unacceptable, as they encourage... are detrimental... are a recurrence... never before seen... and are not mature enough..."

After a long string of questions, the reporter asked:

"Do you think the joint maritime defense team has a chance of success?"

Kazimirz immediately shook his head and mocked:

"There are fewer than 50 people in the maritime joint defense team who have received formal training. As Tang said, it is indeed a 'cruise ship fleet.' Anyone who knows anything about military affairs knows that this fleet had no combat capability even 50 years ago. It was just performing a costly and incomprehensible performance art."

I am absolutely certain that Gaijin will not achieve their goals, and no one in the world will be intimidated by such a ridiculous and pointless farce.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a servant rushed over and whispered something in his ear.

"Seriously? Are you serious?"

Kazimirz's offhand remark immediately alerted the astute reporters to something unusual.

The former immediately realized what was happening and tried his best to hide his expression, but the phones of the reporters present kept ringing, and they soon learned the astonishing news.

“Mr. Kazimirz, you surrender! Do you have anything to say?”

A voice broke the silence, and Kazimirz's face flushed red. His years of self-control almost gave way, and he barely managed to suppress the urge to curse as he replied:

"Everyone, this is just unconfirmed rumor. Please refer to official announcements for the most accurate information."

However, a commotion arose from the crowd, and the reporter who had just spoken continued:
"Tang has already released the photos, and Sharp himself has admitted it!"

escape!
Kazimirz turned and left without hesitation, and his entourage immediately stepped forward to block the reporters who were trying to refute him on the spot.

Because the setting and structure of the photo uploaded by Tang Wen were so similar to a scene from more than 50 years ago, the picture spread around the world at an astonishing speed.

Many unscrupulous small media outlets glanced at it and immediately started to use their brains to fabricate news.

In less than half an hour, the statements released by Jadaga and the Empire were ignored, and the most popular news became:

Jataka surrendered unconditionally, and the Combined Fleet returned to Southeast Asia!
