The various bold maneuvers of the Jieke Group in Jawa Country have left other nations around the world stunned.

By this method, the Jieke Group directly divided a country with a population of over 200 million, turning it into one of the territories under the influence of the Jieke Group.

The promotion of the Dragon Coin will naturally no longer encounter any obstacles, successfully increasing the number of users within its circle by over 200 million people at once.

While the Jieke Group wantonly ravaged Jawa, reshaping the country to its own likeness.

The Beautiful Country, which always prides itself as the world police, remained indifferent, watching with open eyes as the Jieke Group’s strategy allowed their influence to expand significantly once again.

Of course, the Beautiful Country did not take completely no action, but their actions were limited to issuing statements condemning the Jieke Group, without any actual military deployment.

To maintain its own hegemony, the Beautiful Country is reluctant to enter lightly.

If they enter and win the battle, it would be good and they can preserve their hegemonic status.

But if the war is lost, it would shake their position as the world’s dominant power.

The Beautiful Country has been able to dominate the world for so many years due to its strong military might, especially its navy, which is the unblemished golden body of the Beautiful Country.

The Jieke Group possesses the Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruiser, and of course, the Beautiful Country is unwilling to rashly enter the fray, fearing that war might shake their dominant status, indulging the Jieke Group in swallowing Jawa Country.

Externally, the Beautiful Country President Jesmin made an appeal: “Any war, whether won or lost, will destroy the prosperous lives and beautiful places of the people, causing beloved ones to endure separation and death. The world now needs peace at all costs, not the creation of more war fires.”

The Beautiful Country President personally called for peace with attractive wording, maintaining the stability of their hegemonic status, claiming they did not send troops to Jawa for the sake of world peace, not due to fear of the Jieke Group.

For the Beautiful Country, which often stirs trouble in wars, to say the word peace, shows they absolutely do not want to engage in a direct confrontation with the Jieke Group.

In the minds of the Beautiful Country’s high-level officials, with their annihilation fleet cruising in the Indian Ocean, as long as enough pressure is applied to Jieke, after swallowing Jawa Country, they will also be complacent for a while.

This time, it is enough for them to develop countermeasures against the Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruiser.

However, at the cost of sacrificing Jawa Country, the Beautiful Country tried to use appeasement policies to hope the Jieke Group would show restraint.

But they didn’t expect the appetite of the Jieke Group to be much larger than the Beautiful Country imagined.

After devouring Jawa Country, the Jieke Group’s aggressive momentum did not actually cease.

After months of digestion, stabilizing the situation in Jawa Country, the Jieke Group once again made a move.

On September 25, the Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruiser of the Jieke Group appeared in the sea area around Luzon, discovered by fishermen.

As this news spread, the global situation once again changed dramatically.

Nations worldwide were shocked, realizing the Jieke Group intends to thoroughly conquer Southeast Asia, as even a single Jawa Country can’t satisfy the Jieke Group’s mighty appetite.

……

Black Palace!

Judith quickly walked into the President’s office, where President Jesmin and the Beautiful Country’s Minister of Defense Selim Hamon were already waiting.

“Mr. President, this is the intelligence we’ve gathered in Johor, indicating the Jieke Group indeed has the potential to launch another war. According to our investigation, troop movements within Johor are frequent, and those transport warships have gathered here, which is a sign of a cross-sea landing.”

Judith placed the investigation report before President Jesmin, the seriousness of the situation weighing heavily in Judith’s tone.

Jesmin flipped through the intelligence, which was corroborated by the CIA’s multi-source investigations.

Most of the information was collected through public, open observation and study, combined for analysis, with very high accuracy that sometimes could even predict the precise timing of enemy military actions.

After reading, Jesmin pinched his forehead in annoyance.

“What on earth is Su Jie up to? Is he so certain that we wouldn’t dare take action, acting more and more recklessly?”

The more Jesmin spoke, the angrier he became; Jawa Country was just gone not long ago, and the Jieke Group couldn’t wait to move towards Luzon.

It’s essential to know that Luzon is a part of their traditional sphere of influence, as it was once a colony of the Beautiful Country, with many military bases still there, compared to Jawa; Luzon is the Beautiful Country’s staunch ally.

But now the Jieke Group seems poised with knives against Luzon, such conduct entirely disregards the Beautiful Country.

“The current situation is whether we should confront the Jieke Group directly for Luzon.”

Judith noticed Jesmin’s tone seemed off and quietly reminded him.

“Does the military have confidence in winning?”

Jesmin did not answer but first asked Minister of Defense Selim Hamon a question.

Selim was silent for a few seconds and then opened his mouth: “Our military has conducted many war games, one side playing our fleet, the other the Jieke Group. Based on multiple simulations, considering the possibility of the Jieke Group having a hidden cruiser arsenal ship, if we engage their main fleet at sea, the victory ratio would be approximately 7:3, us being the 7. However, even if we secure a victory, our losses would be significant.”
