Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 217: Chapter 133: Intervening in the War (Part Five)

On the international front,

after another fierce exchange of fire in Chan Country, there was significant reaction in public opinion.

Since Chan Country often had internal conflicts, sometimes with warlords clashing among themselves and sometimes with the warlords fighting the government army, it was difficult to make big news.

But this war initiated by the Mande Region was different; soldiers who were clearly of superior standard appeared on the battlefield.

Especially the appearance of First-class Super Soldiers, captured and uploaded to the internet by the soldiers from the warlord’s side, attracted quite a crowd online.

‘Oh my God, is that a Mecha? Are there already Single Soldier Mechas? Which country is so advanced?’

‘Looks fake at first glance. Must be a movie trailer, right? Rather than employ such marketing gimmicks, they should focus on making good movies with convincing quality.’

‘7.62 caliber bullets can’t even pierce through; a human wearing this kind of Heavy Armor Mecha can barely move, what’s the difference from a metal coffin? Current human technology can’t provide the power for such all-covering Single Soldier Mechas.’

‘What place is Chan Country? They can’t even produce their own artillery or aircraft; how could they have such advanced Single Soldier Mechas? Only fools would believe that.’

‘Although I also know it’s fake, these Mecha warriors do look really cool. The portrayal of the battlefield is so bloody and realistic. I look forward to the release of this movie, I will definitely go to support it at the cinema.’

‘Doesn’t seem right, I don’t see any traces of editing in the video, it seems like actual footage. Could those Mechas be real?’

……

While the internet was abuzz, the vast majority of people did not believe in the existence of such Single Soldier Mechas.

However, in the command center of Guo Mindeng’s warlord camp in East Qin State, his expression was extremely solemn.

Because he knew that the batch of Super Soldiers, including those terrifying soldiers clad in Heavy Armor, truly existed.

At this moment, sitting beside him were Ang Yulun and Suomin Tun, the best evidence of their existence.

These two warlords, whose territories were completely annexed and occupied by Jieke Company, had come to his territory seeking refuge via helicopter when the battle turned against them; they had no determination to fight the enemy to the last moment.

“General, Jieke Security soldiers are currently active around Puling Mountain and Old Fortress Pass, they could launch a two-pronged attack on our forces at any moment,”

the Chief of Staff reported the adverse battle situation to Guo Mindeng, looking at the map.

“You can’t hold on even for a week, what kind of soldiers are you training?”

Guo Mindeng’s expression darkened as he vented his anger on Ang Yulun and Suomin Tun.

“Hmph, when I asked you to send reinforcements, you dallied and took ages; no wonder we lost, it’s all your fault,”

Ang Yulun slammed the table, spitting as he spoke to Guo Mindeng. Having lost the grounds vital for their survival, he believed the fault lay entirely with Guo Mindeng.

Guo Mindeng had eighteen thousand soldiers; if he had been willing to send troops to their aid, they wouldn’t have failed.

“You haven’t encountered those Super Soldiers; if you had, your soldiers wouldn’t have performed much better than ours,”

Suomin Tun was also filled with grievance. In his view, his soldiers were definitely tough, often engaging in guerrilla warfare with the government army in the woods and repelling many government encirclements.

That’s why he was confident enough to deploy his forces into the deep forests to confront Jieke Security, instead of positioning them in the cities.

As one might expect, his confidence was shattered into pieces in front of the Super Soldiers.

Realizing the terror of the Super Soldiers was by then too late to recall his troops.

He sent soldiers to conduct guerrilla warfare in the forest, but they went like meat buns thrown to dogs—gone without a return; they were either killed or surrendered, suffering a miserable defeat.

“Hmph, I have nearly twenty thousand soldiers, plus aircraft, tanks, and artillery. How could I be like you?”

Guo Mindeng sneered coldly. He was about to say something else when a call from the military intelligence suddenly rang.

The staff officer immediately went to answer it, but his expression grew increasingly grim.

“General, Jieke Security has launched an attack on us. They’ve divided their forces into two groups; one is approaching from Qigang Mountain, having breached several of our outposts, and captured Hongshang City within an hour. The other advanced from Minshui River and was engaged in a fierce battle at Yipo City two hours ago; now, I fear Yipo City is likely in grave danger…”

The staff officer, having studied at military academies in Europe and America, spoke these words not to alarm but to attest to the power of Jieke Security.

“Where are our armored units, our aircraft? Why haven’t they taken action against them?”

Guo Mindeng looked incredulous, questioning whether the elite troops he had trained were really so easily defeated.

“Before the invasion by Jieke Security, our Houxun Air Force Base and Zolunping Air Force Base were infiltrated by armed personnel. Those were Super Soldiers from Jieke Security. More than a dozen military aircraft, purchased from overseas, were destroyed, and several hired pilots were also shot dead.”

“As for the armored units, now in the spring rainy season, the roads are mired in mud. Many of our armored units are stuck in the muddy terrain, lacking sufficient logistical support with maintenance troops and engineering vehicles, making it difficult for our armored units to be present on the battlefield.”

The staff officer’s tone became increasingly despondent as he spoke, indicating the disadvantageous position they were in.

Although Guo Mindeng’s army had received substantial military support from abroad, they were previously only light infantry. To efficiently operate armored units required more than just theoretical data on paper; comprehensive logistics were essential for these units to be effective in combat. @@novelbin@@

“General, Mr. Lawrence has arrived.”

A soldier entered the command center with the message, bringing a moment of jubilation to Guo Mindeng, who was worried about how to counter Jieke Security’s invasion.

This Lawrence was a representative sent by Asder Pharmaceutical, and the arms he brought were procured by this pharmaceutical company contacting arms dealers.

Soon, the door opened, and two Caucasians entered.

To Guo Mindeng’s surprise, the formerly haughty Mr. Lawrence was now standing behind the other Caucasian man, seemingly indicating that the other man was the real authority.

“Mr. Lawrence, this is…”

“A senior special agent with the CIA, you can call me Moritz.”

After Moritz disclosed his identity, everyone present was shocked, and it became clear why Mr. Lawrence was so humble.

Guo Mindeng immediately became excited and asked, “The CIA? Is the United States going to intervene in this war?”

Moritz smiled and said, “Jieke Company has committed many evils, and we in the United States have decided to eradicate this tumor in Chan Country. However, we will not declare war openly but will instead send a covert force to support you.”

“We have also contacted the Chan Country Government Army, and they too will deploy troops to combat Jieke Company, breaking this Chinese warlord’s rule over the Mande Region.”

Guo Mindeng and the other warlords were overjoyed at the involvement of the United States, putting an end to any suspense over the outcome of the war.

No matter how formidable the Super Soldiers from Jieke Security were, how could mere flesh and blood withstand aircraft missiles?

Without any hesitation, Guo Mindeng announced his agreement to the CIA’s assistance.

Even though the CIA offered a stringent agreement demanding various concessions after the war, he signed his name without hesitation.

After all, he could be defeated by Jieke Security at any moment; once his life was gone, worrying about territory and money would be pointless!
