Chapter 556: Chapter 349: Cession_3 Chapter 556: Chapter 349: Cession_3 “To halt the war, the Jieke Group must fully withdraw from Siam, and compensate for the losses incurred by this war, including our military expenses, personnel casualties, building damages, civilian deaths, and others, totaling 87.123 billion US Dollars.”

The sudden statement from the Siamese representative caught everyone at the venue off guard.

Those unaware might think that you are the ones with the upper hand on the battlefield, such audacity to make such sweeping demands!

Even the Hua Country representative, who just spoke, showed displeasure in their eyes, knowing such excessive demands would most likely be rejected by the Jieke Group.

The Siamese representative, of course, also knew that the demands were too much, as the compensation amount exceeded the military budget of Siam for ten years.

But he was merely following King Pupeng’s instructions and had no choice but to boldly make this request.

“Our An Nan also demands that the Jieke Group compensate us for our losses, which totals 21.3 billion US Dollars.”

“Our Zhenla Airport was bombed, and the Jieke Group must compensate us 9.4 billion US Dollars as our indemnity.”

“We in Lancang are also victims of this war; the Jieke Group’s air strikes have severely damaged our national interests, and we demand that the Jieke Group compensate us 12.7 billion US Dollars.”

Seeing this, An Nan, Zhenla, and Lancang could no longer sit still and each brought forth their demands.

It’s as if they believe that the Jieke Group will actually capitulate and agree to their demands as they wish.

Hearing these countries’ requests, Liu Yingying’s gaze swept coldly across the representatives of the four countries, causing the representatives of Lancang and Zhenla to feel especially uneasy.

Only the two major Southeast Asian countries, An Nan and Siam, dared to meet Liu Yingying’s gaze head-on.

“Very well, I’ve heard your ceasefire requests, and now I will state our demands,”
Liu Yingying casually pulled out a map and pointed to areas marked with red circles, saying, “This war was deliberately initiated by Siam, and now An Nan, Zhenla, and Lancang have also joined the war.

In response to this, according to Commander Su’s instructions, Siam is required to cede to our country Phuket Island and its subsidiary islands, along with Chumphon Province, Yefengsong Prefecture, Chiang Mai Prefecture, Beibi Prefecture, Da Prefecture, Chunfeng Prefecture… including areas within the red circles marked on the map.

At the same time, Siam, An Nan, Zhenla, and Lancang must grant our country economic and commodity trade freedoms, allowing our country to freely operate within your territories industries such as energy, transportation, communications, finance, and military manufacturing.

You are required to implement unilateral most-favored-nation treatment, offering our country preferential treatment in commerce, navigation, tariffs, and imports and exports.

Within the territories of the four countries, our country has extraterritorial jurisdiction, including extraterritorial judicial authority, extraterritorial law enforcement jurisdiction, and the right to conduct transnational law enforcement inspections.

Construct a railway arterial that connects the five countries and exempt certain products from taxes.

Provide no less than five military stations, including a naval base.

Compensate our country a total of 641.2 billion US Dollars for war damages, to be paid within twenty years, with interest at…”

Liu Yingying stated many demands, many of which were actually modeled after the Beautiful Country.

For instance, the Beautiful Country’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, investing in and controlling the economic lifelines of other nations, and stationing troops abroad, among others.

The most typical of these privileges is the Beautiful Country Soldiers’ right to combat in South Korea and the extraterritorial judicial authority in Japan, where even the airspace above the Capital Tokyo is managed by the Beautiful Country, and their own planes can’t fly without applying to the Beautiful Country–a situation that has lasted more than seventy years and continues to this day.

The Jieke Group has also learned from the example of Eagle, as they say, question the Beautiful Country, understand the Beautiful Country, become the Beautiful Country.

With each demand articulated by Liu Yingying, the representatives of various countries opened their mouths one by one in astonishment.

Particularly the representatives from Europe and America, who suddenly felt as though they were transported back to the last century, reminded of the various treaties they forced upon their colonies–treaties that involved ceding territory, paying indemnities, and suffering national humiliation.

The representatives from Siam, An Nan, Zhenla, and Lancang were even more stunned, all of them staring at Liu Yingying with a look of utter disbelief, wondering what this madwoman was talking about and how she dared to make such claims!

“Bastard, what are you talking about?”

“In such a civilized era, you dare to make such outrageous demands; the Jieke Group is indeed an extremist organization, a Nazi empire.”

“You dream if you think we would cede our land.”

“Who do you think you are? You haven’t won this war yet.”

After coming to their senses, each of the Siamese countries was furious.

The demands made by the Jieke Group were much more outrageous than their own.

Siam, the most affected, would have to cede over a quarter of its territory if they were to comply with the terms set out by the Jieke Group.

“The territories I just mentioned have been the inherent lands of Chan Country since ancient times. During the era of the Dongxu Dynasty, these territories were under Dongxu’s rule. Hence, Chan Country has always held sovereignty over them, and it’s time for them to be returned,” Yingying declared righteously, invoking the ancestors of Chan Country.

The Dongxu Dynasty was a powerful feudal dynasty in the history of Chan Country, which had launched several eastern campaigns against Siam. At the height of its power, it had annexed and occupied large parts of Southeast Asia, including Zhenla, the entire territory of Siam, and nearly half of Lancang’s land. It had threatened An Nan, almost unifying the Southeast Asia peninsula, with all the Southeast Asian countries cowering under Dongxu’s tyranny.

Now that Yingying invoked the name of the Dongxu Dynasty, the representatives of the Siamese Four Countries immediately felt humiliated, and their faces turned extremely sour.

“Nonsense. The Dongxu Dynasty is a thing of the past. How can you attribute it to the Jieke Group? Have you no shame?”

The Siam representative stamped his foot, cursing in fury.

“How long ago it was doesn’t matter; the fact is, at some point in history, Chan Country did rule over your country,” Yingying said scornfully, underlining the old saying that the poor shelve disputes while the rich claim ‘since ancient times’.”

The Jieke Group now had the power, and certainly, it was time to recall the glory of their ancestors.

“You assassinate our king and brazenly invade our country, and now you have the audacity to make such an outrageous demand. The whole world is watching. After today, as the news spreads, your Jieke Group will surely be scorned by the entire world, a greedy, despicable organization that will only be jointly boycotted by all the nations and peoples of the world,” the Siam representative fumed, positioning himself on the moral high ground.

Upon hearing this, several representatives nodded slightly, feeling that the Jieke Group was indeed going too far.

“Assassinate your king? Don’t pin your dirty laundry on us.”

Yingying’s smile faded, and her expression turned cold.

“Throwing mud, daring to do but not admit? Those Super Soldiers who attempted the assassination were trained by your Jieke Group,” the Siam representative accused.

“Heh, if that’s the case, I’d like to ask the representatives of all countries to bear witness together. Let’s watch a video, and after that, you’ll see who the real culprit is,” Yingying said with a cold laugh, pulling out a USB drive from her pocket and handing it over.

The faces of representatives from various countries were perplexed, with only the delegate from the Beautiful Country feeling a bad premonition, yet unable to intervene.

As the USB was plugged into the computer and connected to the big screen in the conference room, a series of videos and photos appeared on the screen.

‘I’ll provide intelligence on my father, and in return, your CIA must support my ascension.’
‘Against the Jieke Group? Sure, but I need a full support promise from the Beautiful Country.’
‘Super Soldiers? If your CIA has Super Soldiers, it would be great; then there is no way the Jieke Group can deny the assassination of my father.’
‘Our CIA has captured some Strengthening Pills on the battlefield; disguising them as ordinary second-class and third-class Super Soldiers wouldn’t be hard.’
‘As exchange… allow the Beautiful Country to set up in our nation’s energy and mining industries, but a share of the stock must go to our Royal Family.’
One after another, videos and photos revealed the current Siamese King Pupeng conferring with members of the Central Intelligence Agency, CIA. The disclosure of these secret meeting videos shocked everyone present.

Whoosh!

A myriad of eyes turned simultaneously towards the Siamese and Beautiful Country representatives, whose faces broke into a cold sweat immediately.
