"It's inevitable, the interests we represent are so significant, and with the nature of the Beautiful Country, how could they not want a piece of the action, or even to eliminate us and take the cake for themselves."
As Su Jie stroked Liu Yingying's smooth black hair, he said with a deep gaze, "I've heard that the Beautiful Country has been quite restless lately?"
"They're the sa as ever, imposing economic sanctions on us on one hand, while signing a military aid agreent with Siam on the other, arming the Siase army to a large extent.
At the sa ti, with the Beautiful Country itself entering the fray, each mber of the Eight Nation Group has dispatched uneven forces into Siam, under the pretext of containing the military expansion of extremist organizations, but it's clear they are guarding against us."
Liu Yingying snorted, used to the Beautiful Country's maneuvers, bringing a bunch of lackeys to trouble the Jieke Group.
Previously it was the Beautiful Country threatening the Jieke Group, but this ti it seed more like a warning to the Jieke Group not to beat up their little brother Siam.
"What specifically?"
"Everything from fighter jets and armored units to rifles and helts, a lot of weapons were provided as aid, and they're also heavily fortifying the border, digging out many permanent military fortresses and trenches."
Liu Yingying took out a docunt listing the publicly disclosed aid weapons from the Beautiful Country.
From the F-35 stealth fighter, V-22 Osprey transport plane, M1A2 main battle tank, M1283 armored personnel carrier, Hamas rocket artillery, Apache ard helicopter, and so on, to heavy equipnt.
To rifles, bulletproof vests, drones, landmines, rocket launchers, military tents, military rations, and construction materials for military use, and so on.
Including countless large and small projects, there were at least two hundred military items covering all aspects.
"Siam must have been scared by us, willing to spend a huge cost to borrow money from the Beautiful Country to purchase a large amount of military hardware, and also frantically expanding its own army, using wealth to wield military power.
In just half a year's ti, they increased their army from three hundred thousand to six hundred thousand, doubling in number, and allowed the Eight Nation Group to station troops on their land.
Their king says our Jieke Group is a terrorist organization, and has called for the entire country to confront our threat.
However, most of the other countries' stationed troops are just going through the motions. The least have only a few hundred people, and the most only a few thousand.
The Beautiful Country and Japan have more stationed troops, the forr has three thousand people staying in Siam, while the latter has a force of five thousand in Siam."
As Liu Yingying spoke, she took out a tablet and opened a saved video.
It showed news of the Siam King and the pri minister's speech, targeting the Jieke Group.
"This is their news TV speech from three days ago, portraying our Jieke Group as if we're the bad guys."
Liu Yingying pursed her lips, placing the tablet in front of Su Jie.
"The Jieke Group, an evil and extre organization disguising itself as a nation, at its core is violence, expansion, dictatorship, and a terror force against humanity, constantly threatening global stability and security.
As a Southeast Asian nation that loves peace, Siam urges all mbers of the United Nations Security Council to stay vigilant against the Jieke Group, to contain and strike against this new type of extremist organization.
As king, I personally call upon all the people of Siam to awaken and resist the military expansion and intimidation of the Jieke Group, and to reinforce the alert status of our national army garrisons and bases..."
After watching the speech, Su Jie was sowhat speechless.
"Six hundred thousand troops, have they gone mad in Siam? Why muster so many soldiers to deal with our threat, and when have we ever threatened them?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yingying gave Su Jie a sidelong glance and said, "You've forgotten about the Jiang Xitu Frigate incident. That ti we deployed troops on the Siam border caused a huge commotion within the higher echelons of Siam.
Although in the end Siam returned our frigate and compensated us with a billion US dollars, the dostic dia in Siam later massively publicized this incident, claiming our Jieke Group militarily extorted Siam and they would never allow such a thing to happen again.
At the ti, many cities within Siam saw public demonstrations, which even led to the pri minister stepping down and being replaced, and then the new governnt labeled our Jieke Group as the primary enemy."
Su Jie thought back carefully, and it indeed seed like such an incident had occurred.
"Most likely, the Beautiful Country had a hand in it again. They need a neighboring country hostile to us."
Su Jie scratched his head, but didn't think he had done anything wrong. After pondering, he ca to a conclusion.
Siam's authorities would surely want to cover up such an embarrassing incident as much as possible.
The result was a dostic uproar, with possible involvent from the Beautiful Country behind the scenes, wishing to increase dostic hostility towards the Jieke Group in Siam.
Including the change of leadership, the Beautiful Country would love to see a leadership that is even more hostile towards the Jieke Group.
Although Su Jie had no evidence of Beautiful Country's interference, based on his understanding of their integrity, they definitely were pri suspects.
In the realm of stirring up trouble, as the prodigal sons of the Great British Empire, the Beautiful Country had inherited this fine tradition and had continued to carry it forward splendidly.
"Anyway, now Siam is always accusing us of threatening them militarily, claiming we're going to deploy five hundred Tiger Main Battle chas and launch a lightning war against them. That's why they're strenuously developing their military, treating us like bandits, as if we might barge into their ho to rob them at any mont,"
Liu Yingying complained a couple of tis, and Su Jie couldn't help but chuckle, amused by her remarks.
"No, really, do they believe that? There is no such thing as a Tiger Main Battle cha."
Su Jie grinned, the so-called Tiger Main Battle cha was nothing but the Thousand-Handed Centipede in disguise during a military parade.
Catching shadows and chasing the wind, Siam took sothing that didn't even have a shadow and treated it as real.
But then again, the published data of the hypothetical Tiger Main Battle cha was rather terrifying: 38.9 ters in height, weighing 1635 tons, fitted with a multi-weapon system for both ground and aerial combat, capable of all-weather operations.
At first glance, one would think that the Jieke Group had developed so sort of super-advanced black technology.
With the precedent of Super Soldiers, Genetic Warriors, Biological Armors, it's not surprising that they believed it might be true.
"Ah! Isn't that the large cha we're currently researching and planning to equip?"
Liu Yingying blinked, looking bewildered.
"We don't have that thing."
Su Jie turned his head and just caught Liu Yingying's dazed gaze.
"Really, we don't?"
Liu Yingying was shocked; she really thought Su Jie had developed the Tiger Main Battle cha, but now he was telling her they hadn't.
Within the Jieke Group, Su Jie focused on the military aspect, which she wasn't very familiar with.
Plus, Su Jie often pulled off mysterious black tech, and even as a high-level executive of the Jieke Group, she'd been fooled.
Or rather, because the Thousand-Handed Centipede's performance during the parade was so convincing, both Chan Country and many others around the world believed in the existence of the Tiger Main Battle cha.
After that parade, how many headlines did the Tiger Main Battle cha make, with military experts on TV debates tearing apart the theories of cha uselessness and cha dominance, causing a cha craze worldwide, with nurous countries investing heavily into cha research eagerly.
Chan Country people traveling abroad would look down on others when this matter was ntioned.
The world's first military large-scale cha – have you seen it, are you scared?
Even the Beautiful Country, number one in global military, didn't have chas, but we in Chan Country were the first to equip them, leading the world, a true case of asymtric warfare!
"Really, we don't."
Su Jie couldn't help but laugh and cry; he pinched Liu Yingying's cheek. If even their own were fooled, it proved that his military deception had been quite successful.
Liu Yingying was speechless, so it was a hoax!
"Anyway, it seems that we might have gone a bit too far before, we've kind of scared Siam."
Su Jie stroked his chin, thinking back on the civil war period within Chan Country, how the Jieke Group had displayed its combat power, crushing all the warlords and Chan Country Governnt Army, and even the Japan Self Defense Force. In the end, even the airborne corps of the Beautiful Country at Yang City Airport lacked the courage to engage with the Jieke Group and fled in a sorry state.
All signs indicated the Jieke Group was indeed full of martial virtue.
And Siam, despite its great wealth, boasting a GDP of over five hundred billion US Dollars annually, had a pitifully weak military capability. Yet it bordered Chan Country, with only one-tenth of its GDP.
It was like a well-jeweled lady living next door to a vicious villain who couldn't even afford a full al; no wonder Siam was afraid!
Anyway, that's how Siam saw it; from the multiple acts of war by the Jieke Group, it was clear they were viewed as warmongers. The upper echelons of Siam were scared to death, and of course they had to desperately increase their military strength!
