Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!
Chapter 793 - 445: The Sliding Kneeling of Various Countries_3

Of course, to give an explanation to their domestic audience and allies, Beautiful Country proactively took on the role of peace maker, under the guise of mediating the war between the Jieke Group and India, actively sending diplomats to the Jieke Group, repeatedly negotiating with them, focusing on being the peace maker, as if they had totally forgotten the layers of conflicts they had themselves with the Jieke Group.

Seeing that Beautiful Country as a backing was unreliable, many countries in the Thousand Island Alliance were quite fed up with Beautiful Country.

At the time of the originally scheduled Mengjia Bay sea exercises, no country sent warships for the military drill anymore.

More Southeast Asian countries began to express goodwill towards the Jieke Group.

Among them, Johor, which shares a land border with the Jieke Group, made statements externally, changing their previous tone, they addressed the media: "The Jieke Group is a significant pillar for maintaining the Mengjia Bay and Indian Ocean sea areas, and also an important participant in international order. We support the Jieke Group in maintaining free navigation and security in this sea area."

Be aware that before the end of the Mengjia Bay naval battle, their propaganda described the Jieke Group as being the terror axis of the world.

Then when the Jieke Group declared war on India and destroyed the Andaman Islands in a night raid, they called the Jieke Group a war butcher.

When the Jieke Group annexed the East District Six States and supported the independence of Assam Country, they changed their tone to say the Jieke Group was a destabilizing factor in the region.

Later, when the Mengjia Bay naval battle happened, and India's naval main force was completely annihilated, their propaganda line shifted to saying the Jieke Group was an important force for maintaining regional stability.

It can be predicted in the future, if the Jieke Group's strength further increases, and they manage to form seven or eight cruiser arsenal ship battle groups, the Jieke Group will become the cornerstone of global peace and stability.

Johor's capitulation to the Jieke Group was unimaginably swift, after being let down by Beautiful Country, sharing a land border with the Jieke Group, they were most fearful that the Jieke Group would turn their guns, and use them as an example to show their might.

This effect seen with Johor, tends to like jumping between major countries repeatedly.

Seeing Beautiful Country shrink back, they couldn't withstand the pressure from the Jieke Group, timely and clever, made the wise choice to immediately submit to the Jieke Group. Not only did they change their external rhetoric, but they also actively sent high-level officials to visit the Jieke Group, aiming to reach a series of important cooperation agreements, the entire country started to lean towards the Jieke Group.

Moreover, to show loyalty, Johor audited and purged some of Beautiful Country's representatives and influence within their own country, then cut water and food supplies to Temasek, stopping short of grabbing Temasek by the neck, dragging this prodigal to kneel before the Jieke Group, and say 'Big brother, we are one of you!'

Temasek's country is very very small, they have been relying on external resources, even water and food couldn't be self-sufficient.

When the Malacca Strait was blocked by genetically mutated seaweed, if it wasn't for Johor, only a channel of water away, extending a helping hand to Temasek, providing them with fresh water and food, people in Temasek would have starved by now.

And now Johor, in order to curry favor with the Jieke Group, directly used Temasek as a bargaining chip offered to the Jieke Group first.

Not only did they stop the water and food aid to Temasek, they also deployed their troops, stationed them at Temasek's border, waiting for a command, they could occupy the entire Temasek territory, even without a fight, the mere lack of water and food could bring Temasek to its knees.

It's not just Johor, other Southeast Asian countries also to various extents showed goodwill to the Jieke Group, just their changing attitudes were not as exaggerated as Johor.

In conclusion, with the Jieke Group's great victory at the Mengjia Bay naval battle, and completely crushing India's naval main force, the image of Jieke Group full of martial virtue further spread, those Southeast Asian countries are shivering, feeling intensely anxious, most are choosing to actively align with the Jieke Group, not asking for the Jieke Group to treat them well, at least hoping they do not send troops to attack them.
