I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 585: Playing with fire

Views:

Zombies are indeed a problem, whether it is for the Philippine government forces, the Moro Kingdom, or Star Ring Trading. You can't expect a group of guerrillas to learn vaccine prevention and control, even if they just took over the American equipment of the 21st Division.

Because we are living in this world, we cannot use the apocalyptic methods to deal with problems. What is the most direct way to solve the crisis in Cagayan City? The most efficient way is of course to throw tens of thousands of incendiary bombs at them, burning them all, no matter what virus or pathogen they are. Moreover, the other party was the Philippines, so Jiang Chen didn't have any psychological burden when he gave the order.

Anyway, what was finally presented to him was just a number.

But if he really does this, there is no need to think about it. Countries around the world will never let him go butcher.

Cagayan City was captured, and the war situation in Mindanao was decided.

Therefore, on the way to the safe zone, the Moro 5th Division without armor protection really suffered a lot of casualties. The guerrillas fared much better than government forces when it came to shooting their former compatriots, but not much better.

However, in the end, with the support of the Star Ring Marine Corps, the Moro 5th Division still withstood the pressure of zombies and disintegrated the last mechanized brigade of the Philippine 14th Division at the entrance to the safe zone. The only two remaining M113A2 armored vehicles raised the white flag and chose to surrender.

The war is over. Except for some Philippine government troops in the northern theater, the Moro Kingdom has established actual control over Mindanao. Just as Jiang Chen said, Xinghuan Trading had successfully knocked down its opponents with one punch, and then grabbed their necks and pushed them onto the negotiation table to sign.

It is no exaggeration to say that in modern warfare, the importance of negotiation is even greater than all previous efforts.

The latter only determines how many people die, while the former directly determines how many people will die.

Before Star Ring Trading soldiers entered the Cagayan City Safety Zone, the survivors in the safety zone had already rioted and robbed the liquidators of their shotguns and flamethrowers. At least a dozen liquidators were killed. The crowd, which had long held grievances, was beaten to death. The survivors who occupied the safe zone had a brief confrontation with the Moro guerrillas across the barbed wire fence. However, when they saw the captured armored vehicles and tanks approaching, everyone put down their weapons and squatted against the wall with their heads in their hands.

When Jiang Chen saw the miserable condition of these people with sallow faces and thin muscles from the battle video, he felt sympathy and suddenly had a plan in mind. He called Ivan, who had arrived at the safe zone, and told him to put these people in a safe place.

Then, Jiang Chen ordered Xia Shiyu, who was promoted to CEO of Future People Group, to use her to mobilize 1,000 tons of rice, vegetables, biscuits, milk and other food materials from the food processing plants owned by Future People Group, and transport them to Cagayan City Airport by air. Distributed to local survivors.

The good deeds of Star Ring Trade immediately won the favor of these survivors. So when people from Starring Trading asked them to cooperate with media reporters in filming videos to help Starring Trading gain favor from the international community, almost no one refused.

In the bargaining chip of public opinion, Jiang Chen scored a point.

While the ground troops were stationed in Cagayan City, the navy's actions did not stop.

A Guardian-class frigate, accompanied by a Kilo-class submarine, crossed into the Sulu Sea from the strait between Zamboanga City and Isabela Island, facing Palawan Island to the west. The Type 50 J-type electromagnetic gun was pointed in the distance. Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

This move by Star Ring Trading. But Aquino was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair. Only then did he realize the fear faced by frontline soldiers.

The fear of this giant ship and cannon entering the country.

Members of the Philippine Congress are in chaos. Some time ago, they were still discussing how to forge sovereignty documents and turn the Panu Islands into islands and reefs that the Philippines has owned since ancient times. However, now they quickly tore up the pieces of paper and discussed with sad faces how to negotiate an "unconditional surrender".

Another frigate and submarine moved eastward along the New Philippines border and parked in the waters near Yap Island in Micronesia, guarding the USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group deployed in South Asian waters, and calmly The Guam military base was included in the strike radius, but no action was taken.

All 10 Aurora-20s are on 24-hour standby at the Crescent Island military base, and 20 pilots sit in the cockpit of the aircraft on a rotational basis. Be prepared at any time for possible war.

On the other hand, the G013 missile silo deployed in the Western Pacific Ocean opened the gate, slowly filled the interior of the missile silo with seawater, and completed launch preparations. Deployed in the G013 missile silo is naturally the Dolphin-10 intercontinental ballistic missile. However, the combat components loaded are not nuclear warheads, but conventional explosives.

If the United States makes a dangerous move, Halo Trade will prove its long-range missile strike capabilities in a few hours.

It's not a nuclear weapon, so it has no deterrent effect

Not always!

Don’t forget who controls Cagayan City now! Since missiles can deliver explosives, they can also deliver viruses. I believe that the U.S. Congress and the White House will carefully consider which one is more deterrent, nuclear weapons or biological and chemical weapons.

By now, Jiang Chen had put all his chips on the gambling table.

After all, it is desperately launching an Asian version of the "Gulf War." Punish the Halo Trade the same way you punish "Iraq for invading Kuwait". Or in the face of the fait accompli caused by the Star Ring Trade Blitz, just like Britain and France compromised with Germany, let go of the Philippines, an ally that cannot be supported by mud, to maintain the balance of the regional situation.

It is worth noting that the Philippines does not have as rich oil resources as Kuwait.

What if none of the above options work

Then the only final option is the nuclear button.

He didn't want to take this last step unless he had to.

"You're playing with fire."

On the night when the Star Ring Marine Corps captured Cagayan City, Natasha rang the doorbell of Jiang Chen's villa. Originally, Jiang Chen didn't want to open the door, but this girl was determined not to leave until she pressed the doorbell button. She stuck her finger on the doorbell and wouldn't let go.

Helpless to Natasha's determination, Jiang Chen opened the door.

Anyway, after being missing for so long, it's time for him to return to the public eye.

However, what he didn't expect was that Natasha was not surprised when she saw him for the first time, "You're not hurt!" Instead, she said this.

"Are you playing with fire? It seems that our President Zhang once said this to Aquino." Jiang Chen made an invitation gesture towards the sofa, "Please sit down, I have prepared vodka this time."

"I'm not here to drink." Natasha squinted her eyes and looked Jiang Chen up and down, her bright red lips curled up in amusement, "Sure enough, I knew nothing could happen to you, an old fox."

"I'm still very young, okay? Ms. Polar Bear." Jiang Chen joked.

"This joke is not gentlemanly at all," Natasha glared at Jiang Chen, walked past him and sat next to the sofa, but this time she unusually did not touch the wine on the table.

Crossing her well-proportioned legs, she crossed her arms and looked at Jiang Chen, then said, "So, what are you going to do? How to solve this mess?"

"Let the Philippines return to the negotiating table." Jiang Chen walked to sit across from Natasha and placed his fingers on his knees.

"What if the United States disagrees?" Natasha raised her eyebrows.

"Then be prepared to die together."

When these words were spoken, Jiang Chen was not joking at all. (.)
