Chapter 533: Temasek Rebellion

Early in the morning, at the Johor border.

The heavy sound of tracks rang out on the border. When the soldiers stationed at the border post in Johor heard the noise and went out to check, they saw a scene that almost made them drop their jaws.

Thousands of armored vehicles gathered into a huge steel torrent. Tanks rolled over the land, rolling weeds with morning dew into the steel tracks and crushing them into pieces.

The machine guns and anti-tank missiles on those wheeled and tracked armored vehicles were clearly visible, reflecting the sunlight.

There were more heavy trucks in the rear, either carrying fully armed soldiers or loaded with a large amount of baggage and supplies.

The most conspicuous of them were the twelve-meter-high Spider main battle mechas, which were much taller than all armored vehicles and extremely eye-catching in the steel torrent.

The black 203mm muzzles on them were densely covered with machine guns and cannons like hedgehogs. When people took a look at them, they would involuntarily feel a sense of panic and palpitations in their hearts.

The huge steel torrent in front of them has a total number of more than 100,000 people, consisting of infantry divisions, armored divisions, mechanized combined brigades, and mechanized combat brigades.

What they saw was just the vanguard. The entire steel torrent spread out for dozens of kilometers, which was spectacular.

It is no exaggeration to say that just such a force can sweep across most countries in the world.

Johor's military strength is also within the scope of this steel torrent.

So much so that when seeing such a terrifying steel torrent, the soldiers stationed at the Johor border post were shocked.

"The Jejeko Group is calling."

"Go and notify the rear, no, no, no, let's run first, it's too late."

"Why are you still standing there, run!"

The Johor soldiers turned around with horror, like a cat whose tail was stepped on and its fur stood up, and rushed to the cars parked in the post, and were about to retreat and escape.

As for resistance?

They are dozens of soldiers, and they are going to stop the army of the Jeko Group with their heads!

They had no spirit of devoting themselves to the country, and running away became their first choice.

"Wait, stop, why are you running? The Jeko Group is not coming to fight us."

At this moment, the sentry officer rushed out after receiving a call and stopped the soldiers.

"Just now, I received news that the military leaders have ordered us to open the border passage to allow these Jeko Group soldiers to enter. Now we have a strategic alliance with the Jeko Group in Johor, and the other party is coming to our country to help us rectify the situation."

The officer quickly explained the matter, because if he didn't say it, his soldiers would all run away, and he would be embarrassed at that time.

"Ah!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier."

"I said it, the other party was so mobilizing so many troops, it turned out that they had obtained approval!"

The Johor soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and the tension on their faces dissipated.

After reacting, under the arrangement of the officers, the Johor soldiers stood by the road one by one, lined up on both sides, holding rifles, like standard bearers, to welcome the arrival of the Jeko Group's army.

After a while, a steel vehicle whizzed past them, and the fine sand rolled up by the tracks splashed on them, but they had no opinion, just looked at the steel vehicles passing by them in awe.

When the Spider main battle mecha passed by, the gene warrior sitting on the back of the spider mecha, wearing a biological spider, glanced over. Just one glance made these Johor soldiers shiver, feeling like they had walked through the gates of hell.

At this time, they were very glad that they didn't have to go to war with the Jeko Group, otherwise their country's national strength would not be able to fight against such a powerful iron army.

The steel torrent of the Jeko Group crossed the border and entered Johor on March 22.

In response, the Johor State did not make any obstruction or resistance, allowing the Jeko Group's army to rampage in its own country.

When public opinion in the outside world and in Johor was rising, Johor President Datuk Hou took the initiative to stand up and explain to the outside world: "We Johor has reached a strategic alliance with the Jeco Group. We will have a highly close relationship in economic, trade, military and political fields. Therefore, the Jeco Group's entry this time was invited by our country. In the future, the Jeco Group will station troops in our country to better guide and assist our country's military development."

Datuk Hou's remarks, as expected, caused an uproar at home and abroad.

Because his statement fully showed that Johor officially turned to the Jeco Group.

And this is not the kind of ambiguous swing. This is inviting others to station troops on a large scale in the country, which represents a completely different meaning. This is equivalent to Johor's full surrender to the Jeco Group.

There is a lot of discussion outside, and there are more voices of opposition in Johor. After hearing about this, people in many places held demonstrations and protests one after another.

Clearly, they were an independent country before, and they were suddenly taken over by the Jeco Group. What's the matter with the large army stationed there?

Faced with these waves of protests, Johor took decisive countermeasures and sent military and police to disperse and suppress the protesters.

The Johor army could not fight against the Jeko Group, but it was still able to suppress the protests and easily suppressed the protests.

While Johor was suppressing the protests, President Datuk Hou also kept explaining to the outside world that "the Jeko Group is here to help us, not to interfere with us. We are still dominated by Johor people, and the Jeko Group will not interfere. '

Of course, such words were sneered at by the outside world.

Given the geographical environment of Johor bordering the Jeco Group and the fact that there are still troops stationed there, Johor has to look to the Jeco Group for everything.

If the Jeco Group really wants to intervene, will Johor dare to say "no"?

Datu Hou knew that his explanation was pale and powerless, but he had no choice. This was the best treatment he got in exchange for his compromise.

Johor is just a small country with a territory of 330,000 square kilometers, a population of 30 million, and a total force of just over 100,000.

Such a small country, in front of the Jeco Group, the hegemon of the Indochina Peninsula, what else can it do except tremble?

Without the support and backing of the United States, if Johor cannot kneel down and sing "conquer" as soon as possible in the face of the Jeco Group, what awaits them will only be the harsh and ruthless blow of the Jeco Group like a cold winter.

By then, Johor will also be conquered, and those senior executives who choose to resist may be purged and replaced, and they will also sign more stringent cooperation terms with the Jeco Group.

Considering these, especially the position under his buttocks, it is not surprising that Johor senior officials such as Datu Hou would choose to actively move closer to the Jeco Group.

It’s just that most people don’t understand Datu Hou’s approach, because before this, the propaganda about the Jeco Group in Johor was all demonized. Now it is difficult to accept the entry of the Jeco Group.

However, for the Jeco Group, what the people of Johor think is not important.

Just like the United States does not care about what the people of Sakura Country and South Korea think, if it really cares, the United States will not allow the garrisons in these two countries to do so many dirty things.

The Jeco Group entered Johor on the hegemonic route, not to operate Johor as a local business.

What the Jeco Group needs is Johor’s own mining resources and industry, as well as more important geopolitical locations.

Because Johor is not far below the Kra Canal, and it is also a coastal country of the Strait of Malacca. If it is controlled, the eastern gate of the Kra Canal will be safe and sound, and the golden waterway of the Strait of Malacca can be taken into its hands.

At that time, even if the mutant kelp is removed, the Jeko Group can block the strait in the name of Johor at any time, maintain the status of the Kra Canal, and bring itself endless wealth and geopolitical advantages.

In addition, there is a more important point. If Johor is controlled, plus the five countries in Indochina controlled by the Jeko Group, a huge territory will be formed.

From Cape Caou in Annan to Johor in the south, the large sea area between them will become the sphere of influence of the Jeko Group and become an inland sea that the Jeko Group can pass through unimpeded.

Therefore, the army of the Jeko Group did not stop because of the voices raised in Johor, and completed the march and the construction of the base barracks in turn.

Those protesting people in Johor were also wise and did not dare to collide with the army of the Jeko Group.

This is also thanks to Johor's long-term propaganda, which portrays the Jeko Group as a heinous and murderous person. The people of Johor believe that if they go to the Jeko Group's army to protest and block the road, the Jeko Group will choose to shoot cruelly.

It must be said that these Johor people are right about this point, because the Jeko Group will really shoot.

In this way, the Jeko Group easily completed the occupation of the entire Johor.

Of course, the Jeko Group's statement to the outside world is not called occupation, but a friendly security treaty.

The Jeko Group's army is to protect Johor, its neighbor, from the threat of evil neighbors, so they have come all the way to protect their lives and property.

What? You want to ask who this evil neighbor is? Of course it is Temasek, can it be my Jeko Group?

The relationship between Johor and Temasek is very special, because Temasek is independent from Johor, and the two countries are close neighbors.

How close the two countries are. There is a Johor Strait between Johor and Temasek, through which the Johor-Singapore Causeway runs, connecting the two countries.

This land passage that crosses the Johor Strait and connects Temasek and Johor was built in 1923. It is 1,056 meters long and 25.3 meters wide. It is built entirely of granite. The southern section of 608 meters belongs to Temasek, and the northern section of 448 meters belongs to Johor. There is a railway in the middle of the levee, a highway on the west side, and a water pipe on the east side. Water is diverted from Johor to Temasek.

People from both countries often travel on this Johor-Singapore Causeway. They can go to other countries by strolling a thousand meters.

However, on the night of April 12.

The sound of artillery broke the tranquility between Johor and Temasek.

The raid was launched by Johor's most elite unit, the 10th Parachute Brigade.

This is Johor's elite trump card, which includes three parachute battalions, an artillery battalion, a Royal Armored Squadron and several support troops.

Although the number of people is not large, the number of troops on the Temasek side of the Causeway is even smaller.

"Charge, charge, take back our land."

"Bomb them hard, blow them to death."

"For Johor, for the JEC Group."

Soldiers of the 10th Parachute Brigade of Johor, under the cover of night, led the way with artillery, and the soldiers took helicopters and quickly landed on the other side of the Causeway.

Many Temasek soldiers who were sleeping were stunned by the bombing. When they reacted, the armed helicopters had already flown close to them. The rocket launchers and machine guns below continuously implemented fire suppression. The powerful firepower caused heavy casualties among Temasek soldiers. Many soldiers were smashed by machine guns or covered by 70mm rockets, and their bodies were blown to pieces.

After the armed helicopter formation completed the fire suppression, the transport helicopters also landed in various safe areas. The soldiers of the 10th Paratrooper Brigade slid down to the roofs and commanding heights one by one, and then cleared out the remaining enemies.

When the Alvis Scorpion armored vehicles of the Johor Royal Armored Squadron drove over the Causeway and rushed to the other side for support, the battle was completely over. The Causeway was successfully occupied by Johor, and the Temasek soldiers either surrendered or turned around and fled.

After occupying the Causeway, the large-scale army in Johor began to mobilize, crossing the Causeway all the way and entering the territory of Temasek.

The news of the war spread to the outside world at the first time, and Temasek was shocked throughout the country.

The main land of Temasek is 50 kilometers from east to west and about 26 kilometers from north to south. The land area is 735.2 square kilometers and the population is more than 5 million. It is about the size of a city. In such a small place, the news spread all at once.

The citizens of Temasek were furious when they heard about the invasion of Johor. They didn't expect Johor to dare to attack them. You know, most people in Temasek have always looked down on this poor relative in the north.

After occupying the Johor-Singapore Causeway, Dato' Hou quickly made a televised speech to explain to the reporters from all over the world who flocked to explain why he took action against Temasek.

"Temasek has been provoking our country for many years. This time it is even more excessive. It actually wants to occupy our land, Pedra Branca. We can't stand it anymore, so we have to fight back justly."

Dato' Hou's voice was loud, but what he said made the reporters roll their eyes.

Because the so-called Pedra Branca is just a small reef island located at the intersection of the two countries. It is only the size of a football field and will be completely submerged by the sea at high tide.

Such a small place is used by Dato' Hou as an excuse to go to war with Temasek. This is so hypocritical.

Obviously, the protests in your own country have not been completely resolved. It's crazy to go to war with the outside world at this time.

More people have figured out the truth of the matter.

The one who really wanted to attack Temasek was not Johor, but the Jeco Group, a giant in Indochina, standing behind Johor.

Jeco Group did not explain anything to the outside world and continued to build bases in Johor step by step, as if it was completely unaware of Johor's invasion of Temasek. (End of this chapter)
