In downtown City M, the protesters were still clashing with Moro soldiers, but the morale of the protesters was not as strong as it was two days ago. Their banner was to resist the "invaders" and the slogan they shouted was to support the leadership of President Aquino IV.
However, the video released by Celestial Trade made all the protesters taste the taste of betrayal.
The leader they had always believed in and supported was the culprit who pressed the "nuclear button" in Tacloban?
Suspicion bred in the hearts of every citizen of Country F. Once these young people began to doubt the legitimacy of the former regime, then all resistance forces would become paper tigers, vulnerable.
The armored vehicles of Moro's First Armored Brigade, accompanied by infantry, stepped on every main road in City M.
Attached to the back of the armored vehicle was a high-powered radio. Every day, the streets of City M repeated the confession of Aquino IV and Marshal Stark about the nuclear bomb incident in Tacloban.
The sound that echoed in the streets and alleys was like a curse, torturing every patriot with illusions and hopes for this country.
They had already suffered the pain of defeat, and now they had to be tortured by lies and betrayal, tasting this humiliation and pain.
It really made the spectators sigh.
Serves you right! '
Because the EMP paralyzed almost all electronic equipment in City M, the entire city's water and electricity supply came to a standstill. Affected by this, living supplies in the city also fell into a state of extreme scarcity.
At present, international relief organizations sent a total of 21,000 tons of relief supplies to Country F, including food, tablets, and various daily necessities. Because the Country F government was paralyzed, this batch of relief supplies was distributed by the military checkpoints set up by Moro in City M.
However, these living supplies only kept these people from starving.
Eighty percent of companies faced bankruptcy protection, and shops and supermarkets were closed. People couldn't buy the daily necessities they needed and could only rely on the relief food distributed by the military checkpoints set up by Moro on the city's traffic arteries.
But even if the stores were open at this moment, they couldn't buy anything.
With the defeat of Country F, the Country F peso became worthless overnight, and a banknote with the largest denomination couldn't even be exchanged for a roll of toilet paper. In contrast, the US dollar and RMB became the hard currency of the occupied areas. In addition, cigarettes and sanitary napkins were also quite popular in the black market.
Ten dollars, even a few Dove chocolates, or a pack of self-heating rations, could be exchanged for a girl's first night. A bag of milk powder or a box of cold medicine could buy the dignity of a chaste woman.
Even with Celestial Trade's strict military discipline, the commanding officer basically turned a blind eye to what the soldiers did in their private time. As long as it didn't affect the sentry duty, and as long as it wasn't a robbery, no one would interfere with a voluntary transaction.
Moreover, from another perspective, this could be considered as doing a good deed.
…
After occupying City M, Jiang Chen immediately summoned the opposition parties in Country F, elected obedient parliamentarians and politicians, and formed a transitional government before the United Nations meeting. He threw all the administrative affairs of the occupied areas into the hands of the transitional government.
The United Nations, led by the Western countries, would certainly not recognize the legitimacy of the transitional government.
But it was useless. Jiang Chen immediately ordered the newly established transitional government to do two things.
The first thing was to permanently abandon the improper sovereignty claims of the previous government on the South China Sea. The Scarborough Shoal was removed from the jurisdiction of the Western Military Region, and it was renamed Huangyan Island on the official map, which was the name given by Hua.
The second thing was to reduce the army by 40,000. The army retained a small number of light weapons and light vehicles, and reorganize into the Military Police Corps, the military police force. It would replace the disbanded police agency to exercise law enforcement in the occupied areas and maintain the interim constitution established by the transitional government.
As soon as the news of giving up the sovereignty claim came out, it was immediately protested by the people of Country F. On the other hand, they were warmly welcomed by the Chinese side.
On the second day after the news was announced, the transitional government of Country F received a sum of 500 million US dollars from Hua. At the same time, Hua also highly recognized the transitional government of Country F and its positive contribution to restoring regional stability.
Immediately afterward, Russia also expressed its recognition of the transitional government of Country F and urged the transitional government to stabilize the domestic situation as soon as possible, re-hold elections, and restore peace and stability …
Before the United Nations held a meeting on the establishment of the transitional government of Country F, Jiang Chen not only completed the establishment of the transitional government, but he also roped in the "two permanent members" of the "five permanent members" to his side. Next, even if the Western countries tried to use the United Nations to demand the re-establishment of the transitional government of Country F, Jiang Chen had at least two opposing votes.
As for the protests from Country F …
To be honest, Jiang Chen didn't care how the monkeys protested. Even if they complained in front of the international media and portrayed themselves as the victims, it wouldn't change the fact that they were the aggressors.
What's more, the monkeys didn't stop protesting since the day they lost the war. At the moment, the entire Country F was under the military control of Moro. No matter how intense the protest was, it wouldn't make any difference.
As for the second thing, the establishment of the Military Police Corps to take over the security of Country F was mainly to clean up the mess in Country F. Moro couldn't maintain such a large garrison in Country F. The UA wouldn't agree, and Moro's finances couldn't afford it.
It would cost a lot of money for these troops to stay in a foreign country for a second longer. Celestial Trade already began to withdraw its troops, leaving only two military bases in City M and a brigade of troops.
…
The Hilton Hotel near the Malacanan Palace was purchased by Jiang Chen from the Hilton Group that sold off its assets in Country F at a floor price of 20 million US Dollar and transformed into Celestial Trade's office in Country F.
In addition to more than a dozen diplomats, there were also two hundred heavily armed soldiers stationed here, as well as special commissioners sent by Moro. Jiang Chen still had some things to take care of in City M, so he could temporarily stay here.
Two days ago, he lived in the Malacanan Palace, but now the Sea Lions Special Forces had returned it to the transitional government.
"… The peacekeeping force has arrived at Leyte Island. At noon today, our people have withdrawn from the suburbs of Tacloban." Standing on the holographic screen, Ivan reported to him the recent situation of military affairs.
"Very good, the United Nations has finally taken over the mess on Leyte Island." Jiang Chen leaned back in the chair, took a sip of the coffee Ayesha made, and smiled. "How many of them came?"
"One thousand."
Jiang Chen nodded. Considering the population of Tacloban's survivors, this number was similar to what he expected.
Ivan looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he made up his mind.
"Is it really good to completely entrust Leyte Island to the United Nations?"
"Why not?" Jiang Chen laughed. "Now Leyte Island is a mess. If we don't throw it to the United Nations, we have to let our own people repair the power grid for Country F at the risk of radiation. One City M is enough, and we can't eat any more. "
"No, I mean, if the investigation is completely handed over to the United Nations, will the Freemasonry use their influence in the International Court of Justice to make an unfair ruling on the results of the investigation …"
Jiang Chen shook his head. "If we follow the procedure, from the investigation to the trial, when do you think this ruling will come out?"
Jiang Chen put the coffee cup back on the table and raised three fingers.
"Three years, it will take at least three years. The more important the matter, the more complicated the investigation and evidence collection will be. We have already taken the lead in public opinion, and the international community already has a preconceived notion of this incident. If they intend to tamper with the verdict, then they must delay the investigation and evidence collection as long as possible to add more variables! "
"Then —" Ivan opened his mouth, but he was quickly interrupted by Jiang Chen.
"So, here's the problem." Jiang Chen looked at his subordinate with a smile, crossed his fingers in front of the table, and said confidently, "Do they still have that long to live?"
