As the invisible confrontation between the Jieke Group and the Beautiful Country intensifies, the Southeast Asia situation continues to heat up.
The Beautiful Country, leading with its Indo-Pacific Command, has mobilized warships on a large scale, looking as if it intends to encircle and annihilate the Jieke Group.
The so-called Indo-Pacific Command refers to the abbreviation for the Indian Ocean-Pacific Command, the largest theater command of the Beautiful Country, centered around Japan's Okinawa, Guam, and Hawaii, stretching north to Japan and south to the Jawa Country. The Beautiful Country has set up numerous military bases and troops in this region.
The Seventh Fleet is stationed at Yokosuka Port, possessing roughly 350 aircraft, more than seventy warships, with the flagship Ronald Reagan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The fleet is fully staffed with 60,000 personnel.
Additionally, the Indo-Pacific Command can also command the Fifth Fleet and the Third Fleet, totaling four Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, possessing a combat force of over 200 ships, not including the Beautiful Country's allies and sidekicks, purely the Beautiful Country's military power.
As time reaches May, the Beautiful Country aims to further showcase its strength and intimidate Jieke Group.
To the west, the Beautiful Country's dual carrier battle group, along with the Great British Empire's Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, enters the Arabian Sea from the Red Sea.
To the east, the Beautiful Country's Reagan-class aircraft carrier, accompanied by Japan and South Korea's warships, grandly entered Jieke Group's eastern sea area, cruising near Australia.
Located on the Beautiful Country's mainland, two Nimitz-class aircraft carrier battle groups from the San Diego Loma Point Naval Base also set sail, heading towards the Southeast Asia Sea Area.
The Beautiful Country's mobilization capabilities are extraordinarily strong, with five Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, the Great British Empire's Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, four helicopter carriers from Japan, and two amphibious assault ships from South Korea.
Even the maritime air strike power alone is enough to inspire fear.
The total scale of mobilized warships exceeds 150, both large and small, a truly nation-destroying fleet, far beyond what the Indian Navy can match.
Yet, the Beautiful Country is still actively allied with more countries, urging NATO member states, non-NATO member states, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and other nations and forces to invite them to send warships and troops.
The aggressive stance of the Beautiful Country also sets the entire Southeast Asia region abuzz, with nerves twitching, attracting the global gaze.
The current situation resembles the Gulf War, with the Beautiful Country preparing to genuinely act, readying to summon a large number of allies and sidekicks to gang up on the Jieke Group.
Faced with such actions by the Beautiful Country, a normal response would either be to lower one's profile and comply or to concede a portion of benefits and seek to mend relations with the Beautiful Country.
However, the Jieke Group's approach is completely different.
On May 1, International Labor Day.
The Jieke Group formally launched its meticulously prepared currency system.
This currency is named South Coin, signifying the ambition to dominate Southeast Asia, also known as Dragon Coin, as the Jieke Group's issued currency bears the image of a soaring giant dragon.
On one side of the currency is Su Jie's portrait, and on the other side is a simplified miniature map of the Southeast Asia terrain.
A giant dragon traverses the miniature map, passing through the Kra Isthmus Canal and the Malacca Strait, eventually with its head probing into the Indian Ocean direction, its tail unseen, solidifying the saying, the dragon appearing head not tail.
Dragon Coin employs multiple anti-counterfeiting technologies, most amusingly, if you look at Dragon Coin in sunlight or shine it under ultraviolet light, the soaring dragon on the banknote transforms, its scaled dragon head turns into segments and rounded head antennae, resembling a giant Flying Centipede.
Outsiders did not understand what this meant, often thinking it was the Jieke Group's dark humor, many people called it Insect Coin.
After all, it is widely known that the Jieke Group is a major insect breeder, which aligns with their emblem.
The Jieke Group announced Dragon Coin officially on May 1, and Dragon Coin immediately began its official issuance.
In the sphere of influence of the Jieke Group, in countries like Chan Country, Siam, An Nan, Lancang, and Zhenla, Dragon Coin flowed freely.
The Jieke Group's years of operation had long quietly shaped these regions into its own likeness.
Including Johor, Temasek, and Assam, these newly occupied or supported countries were forced by the Jieke Group to implement Dragon Coin.
The Jieke Group mandated that the basic value of Dragon Coin be determined by the group's credibility, no one is allowed to reject or deface it.
Also, the wages paid by the Jieke Group are uniformly changed to Dragon Coin.
The Jieke Group currently employs over ten million people, counting the farmers breeding insects, in areas under the Jieke Group's authority, one in thirty people works for the Jieke Group.
Employees' wages are extremely generous, dispersing a substantial amount of funds in this manner.
Coupled with companies and enterprises controlled by the Jieke Group, its influence has long penetrated various industries, quickly completing the replacement and value confirmation of Dragon Coin.
The Jieke Group further announced that in the future, products under the Jieke Group, such as Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, Near-sighted Pill, slimming pills, Whitening Liquid, including food and blood, will all settle in Dragon Coin.
The impact of this news is undeniably enormous.
It should be noted that the Jieke Group's products are sold worldwide, raking in a fortune daily, countless people rely on this towering tree of the Jieke Group to live and prosper.
