Chapter 228: Chapter 144: Steel Camp (Third Update)

Three days later!

Su Jie sat in a car heading to the military camp, with Liu Yingying seated in the back, reporting to Su Jie on the negotiation outcomes with the Beautiful Country from the past few days.

“According to your wishes, we have settled most of the terms. We will release the prisoners, and the Beautiful Country will withdraw troops from Chan Country. It’s just Asder Pharmaceutical—they refuse to compromise,” Yingying reported.

“Hmm, what did they say?”

Su Jie turned his head. Asder Pharmaceutical had been the spark that ignited this war. If it hadn’t been for their blockade and ban, there wouldn’t have been smuggling or the Beautiful Country’s subsequent war.

Besides, they supported the warlords against him, and Su Jie never forgot—that was one thing he held a grudge over.

Therefore, during negotiations, Su Jie demanded that Asder Pharmaceutical compensate Jieke Group for its losses.

“They say that Asder Pharmaceutical’s actions are commercial decisions, independent of their government.”

“They managed to convince the Department of Commerce to delist Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, yet claim it has nothing to do with them? That’s utterly hypocritical.”

Su Jie let out a cold laugh, though he understood why the Beautiful Country wouldn’t agree.

As a highly developed capitalist country, the Beautiful Country is, to some extent, dominated by capitalists.

Losing a war is one thing, taking responsibility for the loss is quite another.

Even though it was they who had started the situation, the capitalists preferred that the nation pay reparations rather than taking money from their own pockets. After all, it wasn’t their money being spent, but the taxpayers’—why would they pay for the damages themselves?

“Then let’s keep pressing on. We still have the prisoners. They will eventually compromise, right?”

“Not necessarily. The Beautiful Country may consider that complying with our demands would cause dissatisfaction among other capitalists and capital flight.”

Su Jie shook his head, glancing out the car window at the military camp coming into view and made another decision: “If Asder Pharmaceutical is unwilling to compensate and claims it’s a commercial activity, then I’ll just repay them with a commercial move and play the high-end business war game with them.”

If others provoked him time and again and didn’t face consequences, they’d really believe he was powerless against them.

…

In the Mande Region military camp, an awards ceremony was taking place.

Su Jie personally attended the event, with the Jieke Security Soldiers standing below.

This war had resulted in over a thousand casualties for Jieke Security. In addition to compensating the wounded and dead, it was necessary to reward those who had distinguished themselves in action. Clear rewards and punishments were the hallmark of the Righteous sect.

“Ge Yin, a First-class Super Soldier at the time, killed 201 enemies, was at the forefront of his troops in numerous battles including the Hunei City siege and the Fengpo Mountain campaign, bravely fighting the enemy.

Situang, a Second-class Super Soldier, killed 86 enemies, undaunted by danger, and survived more than ten battles.

Miao Lun, a First-class Super Soldier, killed 340 enemies, was courageous and fearless in battle, once stormed into the enemy’s command post alone and killed enemy generals. Throughout several battles, he destroyed three armed helicopters, eight armored vehicles, and demolished artillery positions…

To severely acknowledge these 25 combat heroes, Jieke Group has decided to bestow the First-class Combat Pioneer Medal.

I hope everyone will remember their initial mission and purpose, remain loyal to their duties, and continue to play a pioneering and exemplary role, as well as the role of a combat fortress.”

One by one, the called Jieke Security Soldiers stepped forward, all standing tall and proud.

“Do a good job.”

Standing on the stage, Su Jie personally adorned each with the gold medal and offered encouragement.

After all the medals had been awarded, Su Jie looked at each soldier below and slowly began to speak:

“We’ve won this war, but the sacrifices were substantial, and I’ve seen everyone’s contributions,”

“So for those who participated in the battle, for soldiers who died or became disabled, in addition to the Jieke Group’s compensation, if they have parents, our Jieke Group will take care of them for the rest of their lives. If they have children, we will ensure their education and raise them into capable individuals.”

“Furthermore, the rewards for killing enemies on the battlefield will be distributed by our Jieke Group immediately.”

Besides medals, these soldiers were also given numerous financial and material rewards. The Jieke Group now had money, and Su Jie was not stingy with his meritorious soldiers who fought for him.

“Long live Chief Su.”

The soldiers below showed joyful expressions and couldn’t help but shout in unison at Su Jie’s words.

Aside from not wanting the Jieke Group to fall, they also sought to improve their impoverished living conditions, and these rewards hit the spot.

Even for those who died in battle, with this promise from Jieke Security, they would fight without worries in the future and be even more fearless in death.

Seeing the soldiers’ fervor, Su Jie announced a new decision.

“Considering the existence of Super Soldiers, we will create a new unit to manage them. I’ve heard that many enemies on the battlefield call our First-class Super Soldiers ‘Steel Monsters’, so we’ll name this new unit ‘Steel Camp’. The first commander will be Miao Lun. From now on, all First-class Super Soldiers will automatically join this unit.”

Su Jie’s decision was well-considered; these First-class Super Soldiers were the strongest special forces, their bodies transformed and adapted by the Symbiotic Gu. Ordinary military training was no longer suitable for them unless there was a war. Otherwise, assigning them to ordinary units would be a waste.

Since other countries have their specialized forces, Jieke Security must also have its own Steel Camp to match.

“Chief, I will lead the team well.”

Miao Lun, who had been informed in advance, stood out among his envious comrades and received this special position.

And once everything settled down, Su Jie summoned Miao Lun in private.

“Chief.”

Standing at attention, the newly appointed Miao Lun was not yet aware of why Su Jie summoned him.

“Don’t be nervous, have a seat first.”

With a friendly smile, Su Jie chatted casually with Miao Lun to ease the atmosphere, and after a few minutes, he changed the subject.

“Miao Lun, I have a mission for you, and this one is very dangerous.”

“Chief, I’m not afraid of danger.”

Miao Lun, who had just sat down, sprang to his feet resolutely at the statement.

“This man in the photo, I need you to lead a team to execute him. Don’t be fooled by his appearance as an old man; he is the mastermind behind this war, supporting several warlords.”

Su Jie took out a photo and slid it across to Miao Lun. The person in the photo was none other than the mastermind behind Asder Pharmaceutical, the contemporary patriarch of the Avelson Family, Jose Avelson.

“This is the first mission I’m giving you since establishing Steel Camp. He is currently in the Beautiful Country, and once there, I will arrange your movements and exfiltration. What you need to do is kill him within a limited timeframe. Are you confident you can do it?”

“Confident.”

Without hesitation, Miao Lun believed that a soldier’s duty was to die for a worthy cause. No matter how difficult the mission, he would not frown.

“Very well, pick a few teammates, and you will depart the day after tomorrow, early in the morning.”

Su Jie was satisfied with Miao Lun’s response. With the Steel Camp special forces unit, he wouldn’t need to handle everything personally anymore.
