Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! -
Chapter 794 - 446: Beside the bedside, how can others be allowed to sleep peacefully?
With the Beautiful Country's dual carrier battle group suddenly changing course, the Thousand Island Strategic Alliance military exercise originally scheduled was canceled.
The whole world watched as a joke and spectacle was made of the Beautiful Country.
Originally, the opening of the Kra Isthmus Canal touched and disrupted the Beautiful Country's control over the Malacca, a global gold waterway.
The Beautiful Country, ready to support several Thousand Island Alliance member countries, sent a menacing dual carrier battle group.
However, after a series of conflicts initiated by Jieke Group and India, the dual carrier battle group started to slow down and watch.
When the sea battle in the Bay of Bengal ended and the Devourer-class Arsenal Ship made its debut, the Beautiful Country noticed the unfavorable situation and immediately withdrew the dual carrier battle group, claiming to visit Saudi Arabia for a week-long stay, completely forgetting the Bay of Bengal naval exercise, prioritizing saving its own skin.
It's clear to any discerning eye that the Beautiful Country was backing down, not daring to easily provoke Jieke Group in the Bay of Bengal, especially against the Arsenal Ship.
With the Beautiful Country's retreat, India's plans fell through, leaving countries like Temasek within the Thousand Island Strategic Alliance in disarray.
Previously, to coordinate with the Beautiful Country's large-scale naval exercise, countering Jieke Group's domineering actions, they made various bold statements.
Now their only support has quickly slipped away, leaving them in a state of confusion.
The navy, ready to participate in the exercise, neither acts nor refrains, as they couldn't hope to intimidate Jieke Group with their own fleet alone.
Not to mention India's navy is battered into a pulp, with their main battleships sunk in the deep waters of the Bay of Bengal.
Perhaps to save face, on March 15, the Beautiful Country responded publicly, demanding Jieke Group's navy show restraint and not interfere with the maritime interests of all coastal countries in the Bay of Bengal, or else the dual carrier battle group would sanction them.
As for why they didn't participate in the Bay of Bengal exercise, it was because of a sudden malfunction in the dual carrier battle group, requiring repair, and they'd return to the Bay of Bengal once completed.
Upon checking the location of the dual carrier battle group, well, it was still in the vicinity of the Arabian Sea, thousands of kilometers away from the Bay of Bengal.
Responding to Jieke Group's threat from thousands of kilometers away made it laughable to the outside onlookers and left Thousand Island Strategic Alliance member countries full of complaints.
However, when Jieke Group's six Devourer-class cruisers set off on their return journey, heading back to Bangkok Port.
In response, the Beautiful Country's navy acted reflexively, taking only a week to deploy the dual carrier battle group out of the Red Sea, rushing back to the Indian Ocean.
During this journey, they repeatedly issued high-profile statements, claiming, "The dual carrier battle group is the largest frontline deployment of the Beautiful Country's navy, and will work with allies to maintain maritime security and protect the free and open Indo-Pacific region."
India was dumbfounded by the Beautiful Country's brazenness.
Evidently, when the dual carrier battle group was docked at Kolon Port, it was only a step away from the Bay of Bengal, but when the Bay of Bengal sea battle ended, the group dashed away to the Red Sea, ignoring the region.
Now that the Bay of Bengal has temporarily calmed down, the Beautiful Country's navy loudly proclaimed their presence, fearing no one would know they had returned to the Indian Ocean.
Whether this comical about-face intimidated Jieke Group is unknown, but the Beautiful Country's allies were certainly thrown into chaos by their unpredictable actions.
The Beautiful Country didn't advance further; the dual carrier battle group continued patrolling the Indian Ocean. If Jieke Group ignored them, they'd act under the guise of protecting India's coastal cities.
Should Jieke Group take action and India request urgent aid from the Beautiful Country, the latter would quickly adopt a "not my business" attitude, withdrawing the dual carrier battle group to the Arabian Sea, treating India like a toy.
Of course, to account to both domestic and allied parties, the Beautiful Country took on the role of mediator, ostensibly to mediate between Jieke Group and India, actively sending representatives to Jieke Group, repeatedly urging both parties to sit down and talk, as if oblivious to their own intense disputes with Jieke Group.
Seeing the Beautiful Country as an unreliable backer, many Thousand Island Alliance countries grew weary of their entanglement.
When the originally scheduled Bay of Bengal sea exercise arrived, no country sent warships to participate.
More Thousand Island Strategic Alliance members began showing goodwill towards Jieke Group.
Among them, Johor, which shares a land border with Jieke Group, changed its tone, telling the media: "Jieke Group is an important pillar for maintaining the freedom and security of navigation in the Bay of Bengal and surrounding sea areas, and a significant participant in the international order. We support Jieke Group's maintenance of free passage and security in these waters."
Before the Bay of Bengal sea battle ended, they propagandized that Jieke Group was the world's evil axis.
After Jieke Group declared war on India, launched a night raid to destroy the Andaman Islands, they labeled Jieke Group as a war demon.
When Jieke Group annexed the East District Six States and supported Assam Country's independence, they called Jieke Group a regional destabilizing factor.
Later, when the Bay of Bengal sea battle concluded and India's main naval force was completely defeated, their narrative on Jieke Group shifted to a force maintaining regional stability, an important participant in the international order.
