Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 440 - 297 Military Intimidation (First Update)
Chapter 440: Chapter 297: Military Intimidation (First Update) Chapter 440: Chapter 297: Military Intimidation (First Update) The Jieke Group and the Beautiful Country hurt each other, and seeing how shameless the Jieke Group was, the Beautiful Country made another move.
Chan Country did have a navy, with 15,000 personnel, mainly operating in the coastal waters of Mengjia Bay and the Andaman Sea.
The entire Chan Country Navy had 2 Jianghu 2 Type Frigates, 3 Anulvuo-class Light Frigates, 1 Yong Jiyu-class Frigate, 2 Jiang Xitu Class Frigates, 1 amphibious dock landing ship, 1 Kilo-class submarine and 1 035B conventional submarine, as well as around twenty smaller patrol boats, missile boats, river gunboats, and other equipment, each weighing several hundred tons.
The most powerful of these naval ships had a displacement of just over 2000 tons.
This was entirely insignificant in the world of naval powers; the whole Chan Country Navy was very unremarkable.
When the Jieke Group fully occupied Chan Country, this naval force naturally surrendered to them as well.
On their own, they could not possibly confront the Jieke Group, and their vessels couldn’t travel on land.
However, at this moment, the Beautiful Country intervened.
Previously due to the Beautiful Country uniting the members of the Eight Nation Group to conduct distant-water escort operations near Mengjia Bay, they had fought pirates and maintained the safety of the shipping lanes.
In reality, this was aimed at blockading the maritime trade routes of the Jieke Group.
At that time, Chan Country also participated in the distant-water escort operation, including two indigenously built Jiang Xitu Frigates, each with a displacement of 2500 tons.
These frigates were equipped with a 30mm close-in weapon system, Huoqiang-type air defense missiles, a 76mm rapid-firing gun, two quad C802 anti-ship missile launchers, a triple 324mm torpedo launcher, a five-barrel anti-submarine rocket launcher, 14.5mm multi-barrel machine guns, and they could carry an anti-submarine helicopter.
It could be said that although the Jiang Xitu Frigates had no reputation in the world and were considered nondescript, small ships, they were nonetheless the most powerful warships of Chan Country.
While the Chan Country Navy was surrendering to the Jieke Group, these two Jiang Xitu Frigates, initially sailing with the Eight Nation Group’s distant-water escort fleet, were supposed to return to Chan Country’s military ports and accept arrangements from the Jieke Group.
However, before these two Jiang Xitu Frigates could leave the distant-water escort fleet, they were surrounded by the fleet of the Eight Nation Group.
All of the naval soldiers on board the two frigates were detained, and the ships were seized.

“Recently, the two Jiang Xitu Frigates opened fire accidentally during escort operations, causing damage to our fleet.
Until the truth is confirmed, these ships will be temporarily detained by the Eight Nation Group and sent to Siam for investigation, and will only be returned after the investigation is clear.”
This was the statement from the spokesperson for the Eight Nation Group headquarters.
Anyone with clear eyesight could tell that the Beautiful Country was playing tricks again.
“Our side will complete the investigation of the incident as soon as possible, and we will not wrongly accuse any good person.”
This was the response from Siam, following the lead of the Beautiful Country and deploying a large naval force to complete the handover of the escort of the Jiang Xitu Frigates on the high seas.
The move was primarily to deter any interference from the Chan Country Navy, just in case.
In terms of naval power, the Siam Navy had a total force of 66,000 personnel, including 20,000 Marine Corps members, 8,000 Air and Coast Defense Command Soldiers, and 1,150 Navy Aviation troops.
In terms of warships, the Siam Navy had 1 light aircraft carrier with a full-load displacement of 11.5 thousand tons, 1 Siriraj-class Integrated Supply Ship with a full-load displacement of 20 thousand tons, 1 071E Type dock landing ship of 20 thousand tons class, 2 Resilient-class Tank Landing Ships of 8,500 tons full-load displacement, 2 3000-ton class F25T Narai Song Suban Frigates, 4 2000-ton class 053H2 improved Chao Phraya Frigates.
The overall strength of the Siam Navy was much stronger than that of the Chan Country Navy.
With such a large deployment of the navy, they naturally did not fear any trouble from the Chan Country Navy.
When the news of the detention of the Jiang Xitu Frigates reached Chan Country, it caused a huge uproar.
Although the Chan Country Government had already been overthrown, these two Jiang Xitu Frigates, as the strongest warships built independently by Chan Country, held a very important place in the hearts of Chan Country’s citizens.
When they were launched, many people felt a deep pride.
Now hearing that the two Jiang Xitu Frigates had been detained by the Beautiful Country, countless Chan Country citizens were filled with righteous indignation and spontaneously took to the streets to protest against the actions of the Eight Nation Group.
The Jieke Group responded immediately, but not regarding the Jiang Xitu Frigates.
Facing numerous media cameras, Liu Yingying did not verbally protest against the Eight Nation Group’s detention of the Jiang Xitu Frigates, because the Beautiful Country’s thick skin would no longer care about such mere verbal criticisms.
“To cope with the recent tension in the international situation, our side will carry out a new round of military expansion, planning to expand the army to five hundred thousand, and at the same time, build a larger navy and air force, independently researching and producing our naval ships and air force fighters.”
Liu Yingying spoke of a seemingly unrelated matter, but immediately after, the whole Jieke Group began a furious military expansion while one military unit after another began to mobilize.
On April 3, Jieke Group’s 1st Heavy Combined Brigade was deployed to the border with Siam at Sangmo City.
On April 5, Jieke Group’s 6th Mechanized Infantry Division, 23rd Mountain Infantry Division, and 2nd Aviation Battalion successively entered the border between Chan Country and Siam.
On April 9, Jieke Group’s 3rd Artillery Brigade, and 3rd, 9th, 11th, 17th, and 37th Mountain Divisions, once again stationed themselves in Songgu Mountain Forest.
Troops from the Jieke Group commenced their mobilization and carried out large-scale exercises ostentatiously at the border.
At the same time, there were astonished discoveries that the Steel Camp, which had just established outstanding military achievements and received grand decorations, did not return to the barracks but headed straight for the border with Siam.
