Chapter 337: Declaration of War_3
Even if the Jieke Group could win once, twice, three times, showing off their formidable military might, it would only increase the fear among the Southeast Region countries, leading them to join the coalition against Jieke Group, either willingly or by coercion. This would mire the adversary in a war of attrition, continuously draining their national strength. This was the essence of the Snipe-Clam Plan.
It was similar to the Anti-France Alliance, where, to counter Napoleon's rule under the First French Empire, several nations formed the Anti-France Alliance under the leadership of Great Britain, waging war against Napoleon's First French Empire for over twenty years.
The first five coalitions against France all ended in failure, and Napoleon's rule of the First French Empire thus became the supreme ruler of the European Continent, its power reaching a pinnacle.
Given the fragmented national borders of Southeast Asian countries and their lack of cultural unity, they did not have the foundation for unification. The more brutal and terrifying the Jieke Group appeared, the more it would stir up a rebellious spirit among the various nations, ultimately undermining Jieke Group's rule and depleting a lot of Jieke Group's human, material, and financial resources.
However wealthy the Jieke Group was, it was still just a corporation combined with poor countries, and it could not withstand such wartime consumptions.
Using other countries to fight their battles for them was exactly Beautiful Country's strategy.
Just like the once-dominant First French Empire in Europe, which was despised by too many countries, ultimately went from peak to decline, leading to the victory of the Sixth Anti-France Alliance which overthrew the First French Empire.
Napoleon was then exiled to Elba Island, leading to the restoration of the Bourbon Dynasty in France, which had already perished in French history, and the Seventh Anti-France Alliance thoroughly defeated the resurrected Napoleon.
There is nothing new under the sun, and in this aspect of disruption, Beautiful Country certainly did not yield in the slightest to its "Old Father," Great Britain.
Facing the faint mockery from Smith, Pupeng's complexion turned somewhat dark, but despite being the King of Siam, he was powerless against Shawang and Smith, two CIA agents.
They represented not just individuals, moreover, they stood with the backing of the most powerful nation in Blue Star.
The Beautiful Country didn't even have to act themselves; his father's example was still vivid in his memory. Moreover, they held a large amount of his incriminating evidence, which, if disclosed, would end him completely.
"So now if you follow the route we've planned, we will not treat you unfairly,"
Shawang sipped his coffee; the first move was already made. Pupeng's personal desires didn't matter, from the moment he participated in the assassination plot to ascend to power, he was branded with Beautiful Country, never to be freed.
What they needed was for Siam to start a war with Jieke Group. If it could defeat Jieke Group, better, if not, they would malign Jieke Group's malfeasance and greed from the sidelines, forming a Southeast Asian Anti-Su Jie Alliance—this was their forte.
Both parties discussed the details of cooperation in countering Jieke Group, and the meeting swiftly concluded with a CIA victory.
Unbeknownst to the proudly departing Shawang and Smith, outside Da Palace, a peculiar pedestrian wearing a cap was jotting in a notebook as if sketching from life.
But unbeknownst to outsiders, under the cap of this pedestrian, a pair of special Fox Bat Ears hid, intermittently twitching, recording the secrets they picked up.
He also had another identity, belonging to the Jieke Group Intelligence Department, a specially modified Genetic Warrior.
