Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don’t Call Me a Demon! - Chapter 804 - 450: destroying a country in 2 days (6k)

The outcome of the Battle of Temasek was full of twists and turns, leaving onlookers worldwide stunned.

Originally, Johor’s successful surprise attack had them poised to sweep through Temasek.

However, in just a few days, the tide of the battle dramatically reversed.

Johor, which had aggressively invaded Temasek, was beaten and fled, abandoning its gains, which Temasek then recaptured.

The Western society wouldn’t miss the chance to mock this situation.

“The arrogant Johorans paid the price for their hubris; this is the cost of invading a nation of freedom and justice.”

“Johor’s neglected military preparedness had long sowed the seeds of its downfall.”

“The Beautiful Country announced sanctions against Johor. Their spokesperson declared that they would not permit a brutal country to invade others recklessly and cause such devastation. The sanctions would not be lifted as long as the Johor continues the war.”

As Johor fully fell under the sway of the Jieke Group, becoming its subordinate, Western media began to despise Johor as well, with mocking news reports being overwhelmingly abundant.

Not long ago, these same Western media had depicted Johor as a country upholding world order, justice, and friendliness, serving as a frontline ally against the evil axis forces.

With Johor’s successive defeats, a flurry of pleas for help reached the Jieke Group like snowflakes.

Datu, the President, personally flew to the Chan Country, both tearfully lamenting and enumerating the ties between the two sides.

In the end, after Johor promised some compensation and conditions, the Jieke Group took action to respond to Johor’s plea for help.

“Temasek brazenly annexed Johor’s White Reef Island. According to the security provisions signed between the Jieke Group and Johor, the Jieke Group now declares war on Temasek.”

A brief announcement issued blandly by the Jieke Group, without much fanfare or escalation.

Yet, as soon as this announcement was made, it caused a major upheaval among the world’s leading nations.

This is because the Jieke Group was still engaged in a war with India to the west, and now, they opened a new front to the south, engaging in two-front warfare.

Two-front warfare has always been a military taboo. Although Temasek is indeed a small country, it is nonetheless a Southeast Asian military force. Could the Jieke Group really be so unbothered?

More countries immediately began to observe the Beautiful Country’s response.

Journalists, like a swarm of mad bees, rushed toward the Black Palace.

It was well known that Johor had now completely turned to the Jieke Group, acting as their pawn, while Temasek was a subordinate to the Beautiful Country.

Now, with the Jieke Group standing up for its subordinate, would the Beautiful Country also stand up for Temasek?

If the Beautiful Country chose to intervene, they would surely collide with the Jieke Group, and if war broke out, it would be a major news story of the century.

However, to the outside world’s disappointment, when faced with the media’s pressing questions, the Beautiful Country’s spokesperson merely evaded, sometimes saying ‘Congress and the military are studying a combat plan,’ then ‘our commitment to Temasek’s security is unwavering,’ but under current conditions it is inappropriate,’ and then ‘if the Jieke Group further escalates its aggression against other nations, it will face our country’s devastating attacks.’

Although they talked tough, there were no public declarations of war, nor any sign of deploying forces or reinforcing Temasek.

Now, the whole world understood the Beautiful Country’s stance.

Evidently, the Beautiful Country had no intention of sending troops into the quagmire of Temasek, to vie with the Jieke Group on land and sea.

Temasek, as a pawn, was abandoned by the Beautiful Country.

……..

The Jieke Group moved with thunderous force once it decided to act.

Magic Bird Fighters took to the sky, flying over the Johor Strait, to engage with Temasek’s air force.

It was unsurprising that the Jieke Group’s air force, with its superior numbers and performance, quickly gained the upper hand in air combat, gradually seizing air superiority from Temasek.

On land, forces including the Jieke Group’s 5th Heavy Armored Synthetic Brigade, 42nd Infantry Division, 59th Mountain Brigade, 1st Mechanized Battle Brigade, along with independent regiment-level technical units such as engineers, artillery, and aviation, totaling over 30,000 troops, boldly crossed the Xin Ruo Causeway into Temasek without any concealment.

The vanguard was the 1st Mechanized Battle Brigade, the Jieke Group’s armored ace responsible for breaching enemy lines, becoming the first Jieke Group troops to enter Temasek.

“Commander Su’s task for us is to end the battle within three days,” said Hao Guang, the commander of the First Mecha Combat Brigade, as he looked over the two long lines of troops on the Xin Ruo Causeway.

One line was the Jieke Group’s army marching into Temasek, their uniforms crisp and morale strong.

The other was the Johor soldiers withdrawing from Temasek, faces grim and bandaged, retreating in defeat.

The two forces crossed on the Xin Ruo Causeway, one exuding high morale and the other dejected, perfectly illustrating the difference between a strong army and a weak one.

Seeing the soldiers of the Jieke Group, the Johor soldiers looked on with envy; this was what an army should be.

Standing next to Hao Guang was Hao Guyu, the battalion commander of the First Mecha Brigade and also the ace pilot of the Mechanical Combat Brigade.

Just as fighter jets have ace pilots, so do tanks with ace crews. Hao Guyu had the best combat record in the First Mecha Combat Brigade.

“Commander, isn’t three days a bit too long?”
