Chapter 1611 Do I need a reason to hit you? (First update, please subscribe)
While Sun Qiyun and others were conducting interviews here as businessmen, the world was still changing.

"We need an excuse now."

In the defense building, in the enemy situation analysis center, several officers were discussing the final plan.

“We need a suitable excuse to implement the stormwater plan.”

Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Xu Du said.

"When do we ever need a reason to hit someone? We just hit them hard."

A colleague at the side said bluntly. As soon as he finished speaking, he was opposed by others.

"Look at what you said. When have we ever beaten someone without a reason?"

“Whenever we take action, we do so for good reason.”

A Marine officer, smoking a cigarette, said:

"It is very important to have a legitimate reason for doing so."

“The humanitarian crisis is a ready-made excuse.”

"Yes, in order to suppress the local opposition, Jakarta has been killing people everywhere, bombing and shelling cities. It has even used chemical weapons. This is a humanitarian crisis in itself, and it is perfectly appropriate for us to use this as a reason and excuse."

All reasons and excuses are actually made up. The same goes for the so-called humanitarian crisis. If you just take a magnifying glass, you will find such crises in many countries.

While they were discussing this, the director suddenly interrupted them and said:
"Well, let's stop sitting here and worrying about nothing. This action plan doesn't need any reason."

"What? No reason required?"

"Yes, this action is to tell the world, to tell everyone, where is the bottom line of human beings? We don't need any reasons, we don't need any cover-ups, we just want to tell everyone directly that when others violate our bottom line, we will strike hard.

So the argument is that Jakarta threatens our security, so we have to make Jakarta a thing of the past.”

What is domineering?

What is hegemony?

This is tyranny, this is hegemony.

There is no disguise for tyranny, and hegemony is not necessarily like this, because those who enjoy hegemony are not necessarily so domineering.

Even the United States has never been so domineering. At least, in many cases it still needs a layer of disguise.

Like what they called "defending the interests of the free world" in Vietnam.

Even if they want to take action, they need a reason and an excuse.

In fact, reasons and excuses are still needed after all. After all, some things must be done with a legitimate reason.

Finally, that day in the enemy situation analysis room, they found a very suitable reason - missiles.

But in May of that year, when the world was undergoing turbulent changes, Li Yian delivered a televised speech in the study of his official residence.

“Citizens watching TV, I am speaking to you today not in an official capacity, but as a private citizen.

I need to inform the public of the situation we are facing.

Twenty-one years after the end of World War II, we faced our first real threat.

Not long ago, military reconnaissance satellites discovered that missile launchers were being loaded onto cargo ships in a Soviet Black Sea port.

Those cargo ships are now transporting missiles that could threaten our homeland to Jakarta.

As neighbors, we want to coexist peacefully with all our neighbors, including Jakarta.

But the Jakarta authorities have always been hostile to us, and with their support, terrorists have launched attacks on us, even though they said they would ban the spread of hostile ideas.

But all this time, the Jakarta authorities have never given up spreading hostile ideas - to this day, they still claim that we occupy their land. To this day, they still regard us as enemies.

According to intelligence analysis, once the U.S. government acquires ballistic missiles, they will inevitably equip them with chemical weapons warheads, thus posing a direct threat to our country. Our cities will be directly exposed to chemical weapons attacks.”

Facing the TV camera, Li Yian described everything in the calmest possible tone. His expression was serious and his tone was solemn.

“No country will put its security under the promise of another country, especially an untrustworthy neighbor!

Therefore, in order to ensure our own safety and to ensure lasting peace in the region, I have signed an order - ordering the SEA armed forces to cooperate with the armed forces in Sumatra, Java and other places to take all measures to fundamentally eliminate the threat posed by Jakarta to regional peace..."

The televised speech was broadcast throughout the sea via television and radio.

At Kuching Railway Station, like many others, Sun Qiyun was standing in front of the TV watching the speech.

Following the content of the speech on TV, Sun Qiyun and others were all shocked and their mouths were wide open.

"What are they doing? Are they going to start a war?"

"They are going to invade Jakarta, invade ... our friends."

"How can they be so overbearing? Jakarta is an independent country."

As soon as Sun Qiyun finished speaking, someone next to him said:

"So what?" The man holding the suitcase looked at Sun Qiyun and said:
"Your Excellency has already said that Jakarta has missiles, and they will definitely bomb us with missiles. That's why we have the preemptive strike."

"Yes, we just want to strike first and defeat the enemy."

The people in the waiting hall were all excited, but the sound from the TV made the entire waiting hall fall into silence.

“…Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth progress of military operations, we take all necessary measures and mobilize all forces that can be mobilized to win the final victory of the war.

Therefore, the military will mobilize 50 reservists to participate in this operation..."

As the TV speech was on, the waiting hall fell into silence. Witnessing such a change, Sun Qiyun sneered:

"This is human nature. Just now they were cheering for the war, but now when they are about to be drafted, you see... they have all become mute."

Just as Sun Qiyun was whispering to his colleagues in a sarcastic tone, suddenly, a young man said to his colleague next to him:

"I'm sorry, but the job is up to you. I'm from the first batch of reservists, and I'm about to return to the army."

Not just one person, but many people. Many young men in the waiting room were saying goodbye to the people around them, including colleagues and lovers.

There were also many people heading towards the ticket office to buy return tickets.

They are all soldiers who just retired this year and are part of the first wave of mobilization forces.

Faced with military mobilization, no one retreated and they returned to the barracks without hesitation.

Facing all this, Sun Qiyun was a little uncomfortable, especially when he saw a dozen young people gathered together in the waiting room, humming songs.
Listening to their singing, Sun Qiyun said with a frown.

"Really? How can this be? This is clearly invading other countries and bullying the weak. How can you..."

What can it be like?

They can face all this with such excitement and calmness. Don’t they have any sense of justice in their hearts?

Obviously Sun Qiyun didn't know the answer, but on that day, the whole world was shocked.

No country in the world expected Chang'an to make such a decision and to state so openly that they were going to invade a country.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to break the agreement with us?"

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, Maximnovich, the Soviet representative in Chang'an looked at Li Guoren and shouted loudly in an excited tone.

"We had an agreement that you cannot invade Jakarta!"

"Mr. Representative, we did have an agreement with you, but since you started arming the Jakarta authorities, all the agreements have been torn up. You took the initiative to tear them up.

What have the Jakarta authorities done in the past few years?
They used weapons provided by the Soviet Union to create humanitarian disasters and brutally kill their own people.

They supported the terrorists who attacked us.

You are also providing them with ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction, which has crossed our bottom line."

Li Guoren looked at the somewhat excited Soviet representative in front of him and asked in an even more excited tone.

"Do you really think that when you do all this, we will remain indifferent and that we will do things and put our own safety at risk?"

Faced with questioning, Maksimovich explained.

"Director, you know very well that the ballistic missiles we provided them have a range of only 300km and cannot reach your homeland at all.

How could it possibly threaten you?
One of the fundamental reasons why we provided them with ballistic missiles is because you provided anti-aircraft missiles to the opposition.

In order to reduce the losses of the Air Force, they were provided with ballistic missiles to attack the opposition.

Those ballistic missiles pose absolutely no threat to you.

I promise! "

In the face of Maksimovich's assurance, Li Guoren replied coldly.

"Mr. Representative, as you said, no country will put its security on the empty promises given by other countries."

"Director General, you must understand that what you are doing will inevitably be condemned by countries all over the world. You are invading a sovereign and independent country, and you will pay the price for this behavior."

Maksimovich directly brought up the so-called righteousness and said:
"We will initiate a proposal at the United Nations and we will ask the United Nations to stop your actions."

It seemed that the UN proposal was useful, and it seemed that the other party would be cautious as long as he said this, but he obviously forgot one thing.

"Mr. Representative, you should know that we never care what the United Nations does?"

Li Guoren said in a calm tone.

"Compared to the so-called international reputation, we care more about our own safety. If the United Nations tries to stop us, I think... it makes no sense."

Then he looked at the Soviet representative in front of him and spoke in a warning tone.

"It's not just the United Nations, but also other relevant countries. We have issued a blockade order. We have implemented a comprehensive embargo on the waters around the Jakarta authorities. Any ship that attempts to enter Jakarta by air or sea will be within our strike. I need to remind you that..."

Li Guoren said:
"As long as those merchant ships and aircraft enter the blockade area, we will regard their actions as acts of war and strike them without warning."
