In the following week, the government and the army of the Thousand Island Nation didn't make any movements, as if nothing had happened. However, Li Jiulong knew that this was just a facade.
The government of the Thousand-island Nation had also suppressed this matter. They did not want the impact of this matter to spread. At the same time, they were also actively mobilizing troops to seal off the entire Pontenak City from all sides, especially at sea.
Recently, the frigates of the Thousand-island Nation's navy had begun to appear frequently in Pontenak. Fortunately, they were afraid of the Red Alert's air force and did not dare to get too close. Their air force was even more so. They had lost so many fighter planes in one go, and they were unable to send more air forces over.
The reason was simple. The size of their air force was small, and they needed to defend a large area. It was impossible for them to fight with the Red Alert Air Force. Otherwise, there would be problems in their homeland.
Therefore, the Thousand Island Country's Air Force had not made any moves recently. They were already powerless. However, the Thousand Island Country's Air Force had recently contacted the Bald Eagle Country, hoping that they could sell them some retired fighter jets, such as the F-4 Phantom Fighter. As for the third-generation fighter jets, they could not afford them at all.
Although they were an oil export country, they did not have any industry at all. At present, the government of the Thousand Island Country was investing a lot of money to build domestic industries, so they could only choose to buy second-generation aircraft that had been retired because they were cheap enough.
Considering the current situation of the Thousand-island Country, the Bald Eagle Country agreed to sell them a batch of fighter jets. However, it was unlikely to have too much of an impact on the current situation. After buying the fighter jets, they still had to train their pilots and so on. It would take a few months for them to form combat effectiveness.
However, as time went on, the patience of the government of the Thousand Island Nation grew shorter and shorter. A few days later, the number of troops in the surrounding areas began to increase. It was obvious that the government of the Thousand Island Nation thought that they had figured out their situation and planned to take action.
The situation was indeed as Li Jiulong had imagined. After more than a week of investigation, the government of the Qiandao Country found that although the anti-government armed forces were strong this month, they had a big and fatal weakness, which was that they had too few troops.
They had no more than 2500 people. Now that they had occupied the entire city, they could easily control their forces by creating chaos in the city. Then, they could work together from the inside and take over the city.
However, the most troublesome aspect was the air force. The Red Alert Regiment had shown their extraordinary air force strength in the last war, which was also what they were most worried about.
Therefore, they had recently taken over a batch of retired F-5 fighter jets from the Malay and Lion countries. There were about 24 of them. This was a lot of money, and it had even affected their industries.
However, in order to eliminate this anti-government armed force, they had also invested a lot of money. On the surface, they did not seem to attach much importance to it, but in fact, they attached great importance to it.
Pontiac was very close to Ba City, as could be seen from the air defense forces that had been under martial law recently. They had even mobilized many air defense forces from other places and deployed them near Ba City.
[Side Mission: Road to Expansion]
[Mission tips: You only have a small territory now. You need a larger territory to expand your power and take down the Luo Kingdom (Thousand Islands Country).]
[Mission time limit: 3 months/2 months and 17 days remaining.]
[Mission Reward: Reduce the recruitment time of the barracks further. Reward: A random superweapon or superhero.]
[Failure penalty: No more side quests will be issued after failure.]
He had to complete this side quest. Just the reward of reducing the recruitment time of the barracks was worth it.
However, the problem was that he did not have enough soldiers. As more equipment was unlocked, the number of people he could use would decrease. This was a difficult problem for him to solve.
However, according to this rate of development, his total military strength should be able to break through 10,000 in a month's time, and he should be able to have 16,000 or 17,000 in two months. It should not be a big problem to take down Luo Country.
Now that he could produce seven to eight thousand soldiers in a month, it was actually not a small amount.
Moreover, in these ten days, his development was also very smooth. He did not release these troops, and they were stationed near the base. This was his trump card.
The government of the Thousand-island Country thought that they only had two to three thousand soldiers. In fact, they had more than five thousand soldiers, and they had formed two armored brigades with incomplete equipment. They basically added one brigade every ten days.
When the Thousand-island Kingdom was ready to recover Pontenak, the appearance of such a powerful army would be a great surprise.
