834 First Strike Advantage (1/2)
Inside City M, the protesting crowd was still in heated conflict with Moro soldiers, but the protesters' morale had not been as high as it was two days ago. Their goal was to fight against the ”invaders,” and the chanting slogan was to support the leadership of President Aquino IV.
However, the video released by Celestial Trade made all protesters taste the feeling of betrayal.
The leader they trusted and supported was a culprit who pressed the ”nuclear button” in Tacloban?
Suspicion sprouted in the hearts of every Country F citizen. Once the young people became suspicious of the legitimacy of the former regime, all the resistance forces turned vulnerable.
The armored vehicle of Moro's First Armored Brigade, accompanied by its proud infantry, stepped on each main road in City M.
Behind the armored vehicles was a high-powered broadcast. Every day, Aquino IV and Marshal Stark's confession repeatedly played in the streets of M City about the nuclear incident in Tacloban.
The voice echoing in the streets and lanes was like a curse, afflicting every patriot who still possessed illusions and hopes for the country.
They had already endured the pain of defeat, now they must be tortured by lies and betrayals and taste the humiliation and pain.
It was really despairing to witness-
They totally deserved it!
The EMP rendered almost all electronic equipment in City M useless. The entire city's supply of water and electricity collapsed. Necessities in the city had also fallen into a state of extreme deprivation as a direct consequence.
At present, international aid organizations had sent a total of 21,000 tons of relief supplies to Country F, including food, tablets, and various household items. As the Country F government was already paralyzed, the relief supplies were issued on behalf of Moro at military checkpoints in City M.
However, these necessities only prevented people from starving.
Eighty percent of corporate companies requested bankruptcy protection. Shops and supermarkets all closed their doors. People unable to buy necessities could only rely on relief supplies.
But even if the shops opened, they wouldn't be able to buy anything.
With the defeat of Country F, the currency devalued into waste paper overnight. A banknote with the largest denomination could not even purchase a roll of toilet paper. In contrast, the US Dollar and Chinese Yuan became the stable currencies in the occupied territories. In addition, cigarettes and tampons were also quite highly sought-after on the black market.
Ten dollars, or even a few Dove chocolates, or a pack of self-heating rations, could be exchanged for a girl's virginity. A bag of powdered milk or a box of cold medicine could buy the chastity of a dignified female.
Even with the strict military discipline of Celestial Trade, the commanders turned a blind eye to the soldiers' actions during their private times. As long it didn't happen during the post, as long as it was not by force, no one intervened.
What's more, from another perspective, there were ”good deeds” after all.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

After occupying City M, Jiang Chen convened the opposition party in Country F for the first time, elected obedient members and politicians, and formed the transitional government prior to the UN meeting, and threw all the administrative affairs of the occupied area to the transitional government.
The United Nations, led by Western countries, certainly did not recognize the legitimacy of the transitional government.
But it didn't mean anything. Jiang Chen immediately ordered the newly established transitional government to do one thing.
Disarmament of 40,000. The Army would retain a small number of light weapons and light vehicles. The Army would be reorganized into a gendarmerie, or also known as military police. It would enforce the law in place of the disbanded police system in the occupied territories and maintain the provisional constitution of the transitional government.
