I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 836: Pre-emptive strike

Views:

In downtown Manila, protesting crowds are still clashing with Moro soldiers, but the morale of the protesters is not as strong as it was two days ago. The slogan they used was to resist the "invaders" and the slogan they shouted was to support the leadership of President Aquino IV.

However, the video released by Starring Trading gave all the protesters a taste of betrayal.

They have always believed that the leader they have always supported is actually the culprit who pushed the "nuclear button" in Tacloban City

Doubt breeds in the hearts of every Filipino citizen. Once these young people have doubts about the legitimacy of the previous regime, all resistance forces will become paper tigers and vulnerable to attack.

Armored vehicles of the Moro First Armored Brigade, accompanied by infantrymen with their heads held high, passed through every main road in Manila.

A high-power radio was tied to the back of the armored vehicle, and the confessions of Aquino IV and Marshal Stark about the nuclear bomb incident in Tacloban City were repeatedly played every day on the streets of Manila.

The voice echoing in the streets is like a curse, torturing every patriot who has illusions and hopes for this country.

They have already endured the pain of defeat, and now they have to be tortured by lies and betrayal, tasting the humiliation and pain.

It really makes the viewer unable to help but sigh -

You really deserve it!

As EM paralyzed almost all electronic equipment in Manila, the entire city's water and electricity supply came to a standstill. Affected by this, daily necessities in the city have also fallen into a state of extreme scarcity.

Currently, international relief organizations have delivered a total of 21,000 tons of relief materials to the Philippines, including food, pills, and various daily necessities. Since the Philippine government has been paralyzed, this batch of relief supplies was distributed on behalf of the Moro military checkpoint set up in Manila.

However, these daily necessities only keep these people from going hungry.

Eighty percent of companies are facing filing for bankruptcy protection, and shops and supermarkets are closing. People are unable to buy the daily necessities they need and can only survive by relying on relief food distributed by the Moro military checkpoints set up on the main traffic roads in the city.

But even if the store is open right now, they won't be able to buy anything.

With the defeat of the Philippines, the Philippine peso was reduced to useless paper overnight, and a banknote of the highest denomination could not even be exchanged for a roll of toilet paper. In contrast, the U.S. dollar and soft currency became the hard currency in the occupied territories. In addition, cigarettes and sanitary napkins are also quite popular on the black market.

Ten dollars, even a few pieces of Dove chocolate, or a pack of self-heating military rations can be exchanged for a girl's first night. A bag of milk powder or a box of cold medicine can buy the dignity of a chaste, pure and fierce woman.

Even though the military discipline of Star Ring Trade is strict, the officers basically turn a blind eye to what the soldiers do in their private time. As long as there is no delay in standing guard, as long as the gun is not used to rob, no one will interfere with the transaction between you and me.

What's more, from another perspective, this may not be "doing good things".

After occupying Manila, Jiang Chen immediately convened the opposition parties in the Philippines, elected obedient congressmen and politicians, and formed the Philippine transitional government before the United Nations meeting, leaving all administrative affairs in the occupied areas to the transitional government. hands.

It is certainly impossible for the United Nations, headed by Western countries, to recognize the legitimacy of the transitional government.

But this was of no use. Jiang Chen immediately ordered the newly established transitional government to do two things.

The first thing is to permanently abandon the former government’s unjustified sovereignty claims over the South China Sea. Scarborough Shoal was removed from the jurisdiction of the Western Military District and renamed Huangyan Island on the official map, which is the Chinese name.

The second thing is to reduce the number of troops by 40,000. The army retains a small number of light weapons and light vehicles and is reorganized into a gendarmerie regiment, that is, a military police force. Replace the disbanded police agencies in exercising law enforcement powers in the occupied areas and safeguard the interim constitution established by the transitional government.

As soon as the news of the relinquishment of the declaration of sovereignty came out, it was immediately protested by the people in the Philippines. On the contrary, it was welcomed by China.

The day after the news was announced, the Philippine transitional government received a US$500 million aid from China. At the same time, China also highly recognized the positive contributions made by the Philippine transitional government in restoring stability in the region.

Immediately afterwards, Russia also stated that it recognized the Philippine transitional government and urged the transitional government to stabilize the domestic situation as soon as possible, hold a new election, and restore peace and stability...

Before the United Nations held a meeting on the establishment of the Philippine transitional government, Jiang Chen not only completed the formation of the transitional government first, but also won over the "two permanent members" of the "five permanent members" to his side. Next, even if Western countries try to make a fuss through the United Nations and demand the re-formation of a transitional government in the Philippines, Jiang Chen will have at least two votes against it.

As for the protests from within the Philippines...

To be honest, Jiang Chen didn't care how these monkeys protested. Even if they complain in front of the international media and portray themselves as victims, it will not change the fact that they are the aggressors.

What's more, those monkeys have not stopped protesting and demonstrating since the day they were defeated. At this moment, the entire Philippines is under the military control of the Moro Kingdom, and no matter how fierce the protest is, it will not make any waves.

As for the second thing, the establishment of the Military Police Corps to take over the security of the Philippines is mainly to clean up the mess in the Philippines. It is impossible for the Moro State to maintain such a large-scale military garrison in the Philippines. Not to mention that the United States will not agree, the Moro State's finances cannot afford it.

It costs a lot of money for these troops to stay in a foreign country for a second longer. Star Ring Trade has begun to withdraw its troops one after another, leaving only two military bases and one brigade in Manila.

The Hilton Hotel adjacent to Malacañang Palace has been purchased by Jiang Chen from the Hilton Group, which sold off its assets in the Philippines, for a floor price of US$20 million, and transformed into the office of Xinghuan Trading in the Philippines.

In addition to a dozen diplomats, there are also two hundred fully armed soldiers stationed here, as well as special commissioners sent by the Moro Kingdom. Jiang Chen still has some things to deal with in Manila, so he can stay here temporarily.

Two days ago he was staying in the Malacañang Palace, the presidential palace of the Philippines, but now the Sea Lion Special Forces have returned it to the transitional government.

"... The peacekeeping force has arrived in Leyte Island. At 12 noon today, our people have withdrawn from the suburbs of Tacloban City." Standing on the holographic screen, Ivan reported to him the current status of military affairs.

"Very good, the United Nations has finally taken over this mess of Leyte Island." Jiang Chen leaned on his chair, took a sip of the coffee that Aisha had made, and said with a smile, "How many people did they come?"

"A thousand people."

Jiang Chen nodded. Considering the population of survivors in Tacloban City, this number was similar to what he expected.

Ivan's expression was hesitant to speak, but he finally made up his mind and asked.

“Is it really a good idea to give Leyte a full trusteeship to the United Nations?”

"Why is it bad?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "The current Leyte Island is a mess. If we don't throw it to the United Nations, we will have to let our own people brave radiation to help the Philippines repair the power grid. One Manila is enough, and then We can’t eat any more.”

"No, what I mean is, if the investigation is completely handed over to the United Nations, will the Freemasons use their influence in the international court to make an unfair ruling on the investigation results..."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "If we follow the procedure, from investigation and evidence collection to court hearing, when do you think the verdict will come out?"

Having said this, Jiang Chen put the coffee cup back on the table and raised three fingers.

"Three years, three years at the earliest. The more serious 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 preconceived notions about this incident. If they plan to investigate If the verdict is manipulated, the investigation and evidence collection must be delayed as long as possible and more variables added!”

"So -" Ivan opened his mouth, but was quickly interrupted by Jiang Chen.

"Then, here's the question." Looking at his subordinates with a smile, Jiang Chen crossed his fingers on the table and said quite confidently, "Do they still have that long life span?" (.)
