495 He Is A God (1/2)
The City of Naypyitaw.
Although it is the capital of Myanmar, it has a population of less than a million, less than most Chinese third tier cities. The city just incorporated cell phone signal in 2009 and before that, the local residents had to rely on landlines to talk to each other.
The state of relative underdevelopment was mostly due to Myanmar's economy.
Myanmar's GDP was less than that of a Chinese province, if not a Chinese city. Its state of economic development was at least thirty years behind that of China. Only one in two hundred people have a landline and a cellphone was considered a luxury, a status symbol for the rich and the powerful.
Meanwhile, inside Myanmar's National Defense Department…
Military officers fumbled to answer many phones that rang at the same time.
\”Enemy had breached the ninth defense line. The Fourth Infantry Division was defeated, General Yuke was killed.\”
\”Enemy breached the twentieth defense line. He is only thirty kilometers away from the capital.\”
\”Enemy is approaching the capital.\”
The National Defense Department was flooded by one bad news after another which soured the officer's face. It had only been a few hours since they got the report that Chen Fan had entered the border.
Yet, Chen Fan had already defeated tens of thousands of soldiers, crushed three Infantry Divisions and struck down the only few fighter jets in the national arsenal. The only option left for the military was to summon as many soldiers to the capital as possible, hoping to win the battle with a sheer number of people.
\”Damn it! Who is that man? Is he a super-soldier from China?\”
\”Not likely. We are on good terms with the Chinese military.\”
\”Mr. President, do you have any news?\”
A tall and stately looking man walked into the room and his presence arrested many people's attention. He was U Than Sein, the president of Myanmar.
The letter U was not part of his real name, it was an honorary title, therefore, his real name is Than Sein.
Despite the calm expression on Than Sein's face, there was fear flickering in his eyes.
In Than Sein Chen's sixty years of life, he had never seen anyone as powerful as Chen Fan. Even the sage in Dark Mountain would pale in comparison with the Chinese young man.
He was fighting against a nation all by himself!
This was unheard of!
\”His name is Chen Beixuan, the number one fighter on the Heaven Roll and the only super overlord on the Divine Roll. He defeated the Infantry Division 116 in Russia and the Fourteenth Brigade of Japan all by himself.\”
A black-robed man standing behind Than Sein said slowly.
\”He is Chen Beixuan?\”
The revelation shocked everyone.
Decades of living in a nation so secluded from the rest of the world such as Myanmar had given the military officers a very narrowed vision and made them arrogant. So much so that when they first heard of Chen Beixuan's unimaginable deeds in Russia and China, they simply brushed it off as rumors
\”Our military is miles behind the Infantry Division 116 of Russia. One Division from Russia is probably enough to annihilate our entire military.\”
\”Just so. Even a superpower such as Russia had capitulated to Chen Beixuan, what could we do to stop him?\”
\”Should we inform the Chinese government and ask them for help?\”
Many generals put in. The military officers' cowardice didn't sit well with Than Sein.
\”My lord! Where can we go from here? Our capital is right behind us. If we lose the city, what do you think those rebels up north would think of us? How are we going to command the rest of the warlords in this country?\”
Than Sein slammed on the table and shouted at the officers.
\”Order the 5th, 6th, and the 7th Divisions out to stop Chen Beixuan. I don't care what they do, just stop him outside of Naypyitaw.\”
\”Yes, sir!\”
Many military generals rose to their feet and answered.
It wasn't until these generals were finally gone, that Than Sein allowed fear to surface on his face. He turned around and pleaded to the man in a black robe.\” Lord Hu, I don't think the military can stop him. We might need help from the sage.\”
\”Please be rest assured, Mr. President. Myanmar is under our sect's protection. Chen Beixuan might be powerful, but so is Grand Magus God\”
Lord Hu said lightly.
\”Thank you! Thank you!\”
Than Sein finally heaved a sigh of relief.
His heart had caught in his throat even since Chen Fan barged into his country.
Meanwhile, on a hill outside of the capital city, Chen Fan was ready to press on.
Chen Fan charged out, he covered ten meters with each step, as if measuring the land. Before him was a swarm of soldiers that gathered from all over Myanmar.
\”Halt! You are challenging Myanmar's National Guard. If you come any closer, we will open fire.\” A voice came up through a loudspeaker somewhere within the deep ranks of soldiers.
The soldiers on the front line trained their guns at Chen Fan and looked at him nervously.
They have heard many things about their enemy: that he was a demon reincarnate, that he had defeated an army of ten thousand strong… Myanmar was a religious nation and therefore most of its soldiers were very superstitious.
\”Pa!\”
Chen Fan didn't stop and took another step forward with his hands linked behind his back
\”Fire!\”
Suddenly, a shower of bullets came at Chen Fan like a metal storm.
The bullets converged around Chen Fan, and some bullets even bumped into each other, creating sparks.
