Remember【Pen♂Fun÷Ge】in a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!
In downtown Manila, protesting crowds are still clashing with Moroccan soldiers, but the morale of the protesters is not as strong as it was two days ago. Their banner was to resist the "aggressors" and their slogan was to support the leadership of President Aquino IV.
However, the video released by Xinghuan Trading gave all the protesters a taste of betrayal.
They have always believed that the leader they have been supporting is the culprit who pressed the "nuclear button" in Tacloban City?
Doubt breeds in the heart of every Filipino citizen. And once these young people have doubts about the legitimacy of the former regime, all resistance forces will become paper tigers, vulnerable to a single blow.
The armored vehicles of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Moro Kingdom, accompanied by the infantry with their heads held high, stepped on every main road in Manila.
A high-power radio is tied to the back of the armored vehicle, and the confession of Aquino IV and Marshal Stark about the Tacloban nuclear bomb incident is repeatedly played on the streets of Manila every day.
The voice echoing in the streets and alleys is like a curse, tormenting 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, and taste the humiliation and pain.
It really makes the viewers can't help but sigh——
He deserves it so much!
As the EMP crippled almost all electrical equipment in Manila, the city's water and electricity supplies came to a standstill. Affected by this, the living materials in the city have also fallen into a state of extreme scarcity.
At present, international rescue organizations have sent a total of 21,000 tons of relief materials to the Philippines, including food, pills, and various daily necessities. As the Philippine government has been paralyzed, the relief supplies were distributed by the military checkpoint set up by the Moro State in Manila.
However, these daily necessities are only to keep these people from starving.
Eighty percent of companies are facing bankruptcy filings, and stores and supermarkets are closing. People cannot buy the daily necessities they need, so they can only rely on the relief food distributed by the military checkpoints set up by the Moro State on the main traffic roads in the city to make ends meet.
But even if the stores were open at this moment, they wouldn't be able to buy anything.
With the defeat of the Philippines, the Philippine peso was reduced to waste paper overnight, and a banknote with the largest denomination could not even be exchanged for a roll of toilet paper. In contrast, the U.S. dollar and soft sister coins have become the hard currency in the occupied areas.
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 take away a girl's first night. A bag of milk powder or a box of cold medicine can buy the dignity of a virgin.
Even though the military discipline of Xinghuan Trade is strict, the chief basically turns a blind eye to what the soldiers do in their private time. As long as you don't delay standing guard, as long as you don't use guns to rob, no one will interfere with the business you want.
What's more, from another perspective, this might not be "doing good".
...
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 UN meeting, and threw all the administrative affairs of the occupied area to the transitional government hands.
Of course, the United Nations headed by Western countries cannot recognize the legitimacy of the transitional government.
But this was useless, Jiang Chen immediately ordered the newly established transitional government to do two things.
The first thing is to permanently abandon the previous government's improper sovereignty claims over the South China Sea. And the Scarborough Shoal was removed from the jurisdiction of the Western Military Region, and it was renamed Huangyan Island on the official map, which is the name of the Chinese side.
The second thing is to disarm the army by 40,000. The Army retains a small amount of light weapons and light vehicles, and reorganizes it into the Gendarmerie, the military police. Instead of the disbanded police agencies, they exercise law enforcement powers in the occupied areas and maintain the interim constitution formulated by the transitional government.
As soon as the news of abandoning the declaration of sovereignty came out, it was immediately protested by the people in the Philippines. On the contrary, it has been welcomed by Hua Guo.
The day after the news was announced, the Philippine Transitional Government received a sum of US$500 million in aid from Hua Guo. At the same time, Hua Guo also highly affirmed the positive contribution made by the Philippine transitional government in restoring the stability of the regional situation.
Immediately afterwards, Russia also stated that it recognized the transitional government of the Philippines, and urged the transitional government to complete the stabilization of the domestic situation as soon as possible, hold a new general election, and restore peace and stability...
Before the United Nations meeting on the establishment of the Philippine transitional government, Jiang Chen not only completed the formation of the transitional government first, but also recruited the "second permanent member" of the "five permanent members" to his side. Next, even if the Western countries try to make a fuss through the United Nations and demand the reorganization of the transitional government of the Philippines, Jiang Chen will have at least two negative votes in his hands.
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 been protesting and demonstrating since the day Zhan was defeated. At this moment, the entire Philippine country is under the military control of the Moro country, and no matter how fierce the protest is, it will not cause any waves.
As for the second matter, the establishment of the Gendarmerie 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 country to maintain such a large-scale garrison in the Philippines, not to mention that the United States will not agree, and the Moro country cannot afford it financially.
It will cost a lot of money for these troops to stay in a foreign country for a second. The star ring trade has begun to withdraw its troops one after another. It only retains two military bases and a brigade in Manila.
...
The Hilton Hotel adjacent to the Malacañang Palace has been bought by Jiang Chen from the Hilton Group, which sold off its assets in the Philippines, at a floor price of 20 million US dollars, and has been transformed into the office of Xinghuan Trading in the Philippines.
In addition to a dozen diplomats, there are also 200 heavily 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 live here temporarily.
He was living in Malacanang Palace, the presidential palace of the Philippines two days ago, but now the Sea Lion special forces have returned it to the transitional government.
"...The peacekeeping force has arrived on Wright Island. At twelve o'clock today, our people have withdrawn from the outskirts of Tacloban City." Standing on the holographic screen, Ivan reported to him the latest military affairs.
"Very good, the United Nations has finally taken over the mess of Wright Island." Jiang Chen leaned back on the chair, took a sip of the coffee Aisha made himself, and smiled, "How many people are they here?"
"A thousand people."
Jiang Chen nodded. Considering the population of survivors in Tacloban City, this number is about the same as he expected.
Ivan's expression was hesitant to speak, but he finally made up his mind to ask.
"Is it really good to give Wright Island full trust to the United Nations?"
"Why not?" Jiang Chen laughed, "The entire Wright Island is a mess now. If we don't throw it to the United Nations, we have to let our own people risk radiation to help the Philippines repair the power grid. One Manila is enough, and then We can't eat too much."
"No, what I mean is, if the investigation is completely handed over to the United Nations, will the Freemasonry use its influence in the international court to make an unfair ruling on the investigation result..."
Jiang Chen shook his head, "If the procedures are followed, from investigation and evidence collection to trial, when do you think the verdict will come out?"
Having said that, Jiang Chen put the coffee cup back on the table and raised three fingers.
"Three years, three years at the earliest. The more important the matter, the more complicated the investigation and evidence collection. We have already gained the upper hand in public opinion, and the international community has already had preconceived ideas about this incident. If they plan to If the verdict is tampered with, then the time for investigation and evidence collection must be delayed as long as possible, and more variables will be added!"
"Then—" Ivan opened his mouth, but was soon interrupted by Jiang Chen.
"Then, here comes the problem." Looking at his subordinates with a smile, Jiang Chen crossed his fingers at the table and said confidently, "Is their lifespan still that long?" (To be continued.)
