The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Laos.

In the open square, night had just fallen.

Soldiers of the Lao People's Army, dressed in military uniforms, sat cross-legged on the ground.

On the big screen, the light of the projector shone on the big screen.

It was the mob setting fire to the store and besieging the community.

The soldiers were filled with indignation.

Half an hour later, the commander said in a loud voice: "Everyone, stand at attention!"

800 officers and soldiers stood up immediately, their bodies straight.

"Comrades, this is not a TV series or a movie, it is a real thing. We are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and our compatriots are being killed by bandits, and the bandits want to take our compatriots' property for themselves." The commander said: "Do you agree or not!?"

"No!" 800 officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

"Now I am ordered by the superiors to use our 'Wild Wolf' mountain combat battalion as a volunteer army to help our compatriots. Are you willing?" The commander's eyes were sharp. He had personally experienced it when he was a child. The Annan people took away all the property in his family and drove them away. At this time, he felt the same.

"Yes!" 800 officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

"Give everyone an hour to write a letter to your family. We will set off in an hour!" The commander said in a loud voice.

Laos now has a population of 9 million. The economy mainly relies on agriculture, logging, furniture processing, mining, gem mining and processing, power generation, etc. Hardworking and brave people rely on their own hands to make a fortune. The people here live a pretty good life.

Laos has no financial market, so it is naturally not affected by the Southeast Asian economic crisis.

Laos' products are mainly transported north to sell to China, and some are transported east to Longyuan Port, where they are loaded and shipped by sea.

The Lao People's Army has a total of 60,000 people in the army, navy and air force, including 50,000 in the army. The main force is organized into 5 mountain divisions, more than 2,000 in the air force, more than 1,000 in the navy (inland patrol force), and 5,000 in the military agencies and schools.

This time, the Lao People's Army dispatched 50,000 army troops as volunteers and urgently mobilized 100,000 reserve troops for training.

This mountain combat battalion is the first batch to enter Thailand for combat.

The Laotian volunteers will enter from the north and east of Thailand.

An hour later, the troops gathered urgently, broke camp overnight, and set off.

The boats are ready at the Mekong River wharf.

At the same time, the Cambodian People's Army is also mobilizing and organizing volunteers.

Cambodia now has a population of 16 million. Its economy is mainly based on agriculture, fisheries, planting, animal husbandry, forestry and industry. The industry mainly involves textiles and clothing, food, beverages, tobacco, wood processing, rubber, plastics and mineral processing. Last year alone, Cambodia exported 1.5 million tons of rice throughout the year, making it a major rice exporter.

Last year, the total number of tourists to Cambodia reached 4 million, mainly from China, Laos, Thailand and Malaysia.

Cambodia has a total of 100,000 soldiers in the army, navy and air force, including 90,000 in the army, 7,000 in the navy and 3,000 in the air force. In addition, there are 150,000 reserve troops.

In the past ten years, Cambodia and Laos have been constantly clearing mines, and have already cleared all the mines on the land of Cambodia and Laos. The price paid is also very high. In addition to investing billions of RMB, hundreds of people have also sacrificed their lives for mine clearance.

In the past, the most respected people in Cambodia and Laos were mine clearance heroes.

The Cambodian People's Army mobilized 80,000 ground forces as volunteers, urgently mobilized reserves, and dispatched the navy at the same time. Cambodia's navy is not strong. The most powerful warships are two Type 054 frigates, and the others are ten Type 022 missile boats and twenty Type 022A torpedo boats.

Cambodian volunteers entered Thailand from the east to fight.

More volunteers went south from the north, but their goal was not to enter Thailand, but to enter Malaysia and India.

The sky was full of gunfire and smoke was everywhere.

The Philippines was hit hard by the financial crisis at this time.

The mobs lost their minds and attacked shops, shopping malls, banks, and foreign companies.

At this time, they didn't care what country these foreigners were from, whether they were Japanese or European and American, they didn't care, they just wanted to vent.

Especially European and American people, the rumors have been spreading that this financial crisis was launched by Americans, and Soros's "Quantum Fund" led the defeat of the Philippine financial market.

The situation here was reported by the media, causing an uproar in the world.

European and American countries have condemned and threatened the Philippine government that if they do not take action to stop the behavior of the mob, they will stop economic assistance to the Philippines.

But at this time, the Philippines is powerless.

The Philippines is a country composed of archipelagos. There are more than 7,000 islands of all sizes in the whole country. Even the 11 major islands such as Luzon, Mindanao, and Samar are separated by straits in the middle, and it is not so easy to mobilize troops.

After all, the Philippine Navy, Army and Air Force have a total of only 110,000 people, and even the army is out of control here.

The Philippines is mainly Malay, accounting for more than 70% of the country's population. The main ethnic groups include Tagalog, Ilocos, Pampanga, Visayas and Bicol.

In terms of division, the Philippines has never stopped.

This time, these major ethnic groups want to fish in troubled waters. Of course, they also hate the current government's pro-American stance, which has led to the collapse of the financial market and caused huge losses.

Once the gunshots were heard, the situation was out of control.

They can decide when the gunshots will be heard, but they cannot decide when the gunshots will stop.

Now the whole Philippines has a total of 79 million people. You should know that when the first census was conducted in 1960, the Philippines had only 2,700 people. You can imagine how Filipinos are fertile and the population is growing very fast.

The natives are lazy and always want to do something sneaky.

They earn a day's money and don't want to continue working until they spend it all.

This time they were instigated, and their goal was to rob foreigners of their wealth and get something for nothing.

It would be even better if they could take this opportunity to taste the taste of the big horses in Europe and America.

At this time, the situation in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines was out of control, which made people stunned. Although communications and television stations were controlled, there were still news coming out.

The countries caught in the middle were trembling.

In this financial crisis, they were also hit hard. Unlike other places where racial conflicts broke out, people were very dissatisfied with the present and believed that it was wrong to be pro-European and American.

Feeling a very threatening atmosphere, they severely protested against the Americans for indulging Soros's "Quantum Fund" and demanded that the Americans leave immediately.

This stunned the Americans, who have always attached great importance to it because it is a strategic location.

But it is the most important maritime transportation hub in the world, and it can even be said that there is no other.

The Americans are full of confidence in renewing the treaty.

But who could have thought that such a big change would happen.
