He never expected that Li Jun's army would be so powerful, and so bloody...
The Papua Liberation Front (PLF) harbored deep hatred for the Javanese, so after capturing Javanese soldiers, they would torture them. If they couldn't exchange them for their PLF prisoners from the Javanese, they would kill the Javanese soldiers.
However, they were not as 'efficient' at killing people as Li Jun's army. Li Jun's army slaughtered Javanese soldiers like pigs, driving them row by row to the slaughterhouse and then executing them by firing squad.
Most importantly, these people's expressions remained completely unchanged, as if they were really killing pigs.
The bottom of the pit was quickly filled with blood and corpses, and the air throughout the port of Nabile was filled with a strong stench of blood, making Jean-Bruno want to vomit.
After watching the footage of Javanese soldiers being executed for a few minutes, Bruno did not get the pleasure he had imagined and could only leave dejectedly. He planned to find Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi to ask them about their next plans.
Ten minutes later.
Bruno found Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi in a coastal fort, where they were directing the "elite veterans" to renovate the fort.
“Mr. Luo, Mr. Xu, the Javanese commander in Nabile Port, Schwak, has run away. I believe he must be going to find the Javanese commander-in-chief on New Guinea Island, Palani.”
"Although you killed nearly 10,000 Javanese soldiers last night, Palani still has more than 40,000 soldiers under his command, and his elite force is a fully reinforced regiment equipped with American weapons. We have suffered a lot of losses at the hands of this reinforced regiment."
"This all-American-equipped cash brigade is also Parani's trump card, the foundation of his position in the Indonesian government."
Bruno revealed all his intelligence.
Indonesia today is ruled by a military government formed by Sutoha and a large group of warlords.
The actual rulers of each region were not the local governments, but the warlords who occupied the area.
Sutoha, as the most powerful warlord, made a fortune on Java and Sumatra, and the warlords on both islands had to pay him a small price.
However, on islands like Sulawesi, Borneo, and New Guinea, the local warlords didn't care much for Sutoha; they were all local tyrants.
Like Parani on the island of New Guinea, although his army, apart from his own tutelage, was provided by the Indonesian government, he relied on these troops to dominate New Guinea. Sutoha had to appease him to get things done.
This is precisely why the Papua Liberation Front has never been completely eradicated. After all, if the Papua Liberation Front had been wiped out, Parani would have had no reason to stay in New Guinea and would have had to return to Sumatra or Java to become an ordinary warlord.
If forced to choose between a local tyrant and an ordinary warlord, even a fool would know which one to choose.
For this reason, Bruno was well aware that now that Li Jun's men had entered New Guinea, Palani would definitely concentrate all his forces to eliminate all of Li Jun's men and maintain his rule on New Guinea.
“Mr. Bruno, we are now preparing fortifications in preparation for Palani’s arrival.”
Xu Xi looked at Bruno, who had a worried expression, and said with a smile.
"Are you prepared to confront Palani head-on at the port of Nabile, and face off against his 4-strong army?"
Bruno's eyes were filled with shock after hearing Xu Xi's words, and his tone was full of disbelief.
1 against 4, this...
Bruno really wanted to ask Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi if they had lost their minds.
"Otherwise, why do you think that Javanese commander in Nabile Port was able to escape?"
Luo Sanpao looked at Bruno and said calmly.
From the very beginning, Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi's plan was to lure Java's main force to one place and engage them in a head-on battle.
Since New Guinea is a large island, instead of spending a lot of energy and time dealing with one Javanese force after another, it would be better to let those Javanese monkeys gather on their own and come to us.
Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi had a very clear understanding of the fighting capabilities of these Southeast Asian monkeys. They were confident that they could fight 100,000 Javanese soldiers head-on, let alone 40,000.
The nearly 10,000 Javanese soldiers at Port Nabile last night also proved that Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi's assessment of them was entirely correct.
Moreover, the Javanese people gave Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi a big gift last night.
The Javanese left behind all the weapons and food they had stockpiled in Nabile port intact.
This raised Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi's estimate of the success rate of this war from 99.99% to 100%. Even if all the Java monkeys went into overdrive, they wouldn't be able to win.
the other side.
After a nearly five-hour drive in a jeep, Schwak finally arrived at the Javanese army headquarters in Mimika County, New Guinea, with his adjutant and two bodyguards.
The reason for placing the army here is quite simple: Mount Jaya, the highest mountain on New Guinea, is located near Mimika County, and the Papua Liberation Front is mainly active on Mount Jaya.
"Lead the way quickly, I need to find General Palani!"
Once inside the military camp, Schwak disregarded his previous formalities and immediately grabbed the soldiers who came to greet him, shouting something.
Ten minutes later.
"Major General Schwaker, you mean the enemy captured Port Nabile in just one hour, and you don't even know who the enemy is?"
Lieutenant General Palani, the commander-in-chief of the Javanese army on New Guinea, looked at Schwak in front of him and said calmly.
"General Palani, you're right, but there are some details..."
Upon hearing Palani's question, Schwak's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly defended himself.
Unfortunately, before Schwak could finish speaking, Palani interrupted him: "Major General Schwak, as the commander of Nabile, you have cowardly fled the front lines. As the wartime commander-in-chief, I now sentence you to death. Do you have any objections?"
"I……"
When Schwak heard that Palani was going to sentence him to death, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately tried to speak up to demand 'justice' for himself.
However, just as Schwak opened his mouth, two figures standing not far from him moved and each delivered a whip kick, knocking Schwak and his adjutant unconscious.
Then, several Javanese soldiers dragged Schwak and his adjutant out of the room where Palani was, like dead dogs.
A few minutes later.
'Bang bang bang bang~'
A burst of gunfire rang out, reaching Palani's ears in the room and bringing a bloodthirsty smile to his lips.
If Schvak's soldiers were still around, Palani would never have dared to attack Schvak. It's all because this guy was too stupid; he gave away all his forces in one night.
There are no reclusive gentlemen in Java. Warlords who lose their armies basically all have only one fate: death!
"Sontina, notify all troops on New Guinea Island to assemble in Mimika by midnight tonight."
After the gunshots rang out, Palani glanced at his secretary, Sontina, standing beside him and said calmly.
"Understood, General Palani."
Songtina immediately nodded in agreement.
Just as Luo Sanpao and Xu Xi had predicted, Palani summoned all the Javanese soldiers on the entire island of New Guinea, preparing to wipe out all the 'uninvited guests' in Nabile Port in one fell swoop.
This is why Palani wants to kill Schwak now.
Chinese people like to perform a flag-raising ceremony before their troops set out on a campaign. Javanese monkeys have obviously learned this trick as well. Palani also wants to use Schwak's head as a flag-raising ceremony, while telling his other commanders that this is the fate of those who are afraid of the enemy and desert in the face of battle. It is a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
"Reinforcements brought in by the Papuan Liberation Front?"
Watching his secretary, Sontina, leave, Palani murmured to himself.
Then, he shook his head and continued to mutter to himself, "No matter who you are, you're all dead this time!"
At this moment, Palani's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, most people on the island of New Guinea are unaware that a great battle that will determine the future of the island is about to begin...
Also on that morning.
Central, Hong Kong Island, is a financial and securities center.
As in the previous days, Swire Group's shares were traded extensively, with trading volume far exceeding that of the entire Hang Seng Index.
It was only because Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxing, and Guo Desheng bought Swire Group shares regardless of cost that Swire Bank's stock not only did not fall, but even rose slightly.
Because of the aggressive acquisitions by Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxing, and Guo Desheng, they respectively hold 4.7%, 3.3%, and 3.1%, totaling approximately 11% of the shares.
·· ······ 0
If we add the 7.6% stake held by Li Bancheng.
The four major real estate tycoons hold nearly 19 percent of Swire Group's shares, making them the third largest shareholder of Swire Group.
The largest shareholder is the Swire family, the ruling family of Swire Group, who own 37% of Swire Group's shares.
The second largest shareholder is HSBC, which holds 19 percent of Swire Group's shares.
With this 55% stake, the foreigner would have been able to control Swire Properties, but a transaction during the Hong Kong stock market crash in 73 changed everything.
In order to combat the stock market crash, the four major trading companies joined forces to conduct a share swap.
Some of the Swire Group shares were swapped for Wheelock shares.
Wheelock & Co. could exchange some of its Wharf Holdings shares for Swire Group shares at any time, and conversely, Swire Group could also exchange its Wharf Holdings shares for Wharf Holdings shares.
Because of this agreement, Bao Yugang was severely outmaneuvered by the foreigners when he was acquiring Wharf Holdings, and was eventually forced to cede a large amount of profits to Li Bancheng in order to successfully take over Wharf Holdings.
The only difference is that the shares that Swire Properties used for the exchange ended up in Bao Yugang's name after he took over Wharf Holdings.
These shares, no more and no less, represent exactly 5 percent of Swire Group's equity.
...... ......... .......
In other words, if this 5% equity is removed, the foreigner will only control 50% of the equity. This is a very delicate number, and it is also a number that will cause the foreigner to suffer heavy losses in the near future.
Just when everyone thought that today would be like any other day, with the various forces continuing their struggle over the Swire Group, an unexpected change occurred.
"Huang Shitong, Mr. Li's intention is for you to act according to his plan!"
In an office building in Central, Ah Wah looked at Huang Shitong and the others in front of him and said with a smile.
"it is good!"
