Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Siam had always been under the control of the King, who could promote generals at will, elevate those he liked to higher ranks, and even appoint the royal dog as the Grand Marshal of the Air Force, though most ranks were just for show.

However, the former Old King Raha Jigonglong, although he liked to confer titles, had always trusted Narong's capabilities, relying on him to reorganize the national military. He knew who the real soldiers were and that he could not dismiss those who were genuinely effective, because without them, the military would be nothing but a crew of incompetents.

Pupeng clearly didn't care about this, as he dismissed Narong with a wave of his hand.

Narong's expression slightly froze, and he slowly closed his eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he took off his military cap, removed the insignia from his uniform, and saluted Pupeng: "Narong, respectfully obeys the King's decree."

Having said that, he turned and left the command center, his figure looking especially forlorn and desolate.

The other officers watched, filled with a sense of tragic foreboding.

"What are you looking at? Continue discussing how to deal with the Jieke Group. Don't go back until we have a strategy."

Pupeng snorted coldly, causing the officers to refocus their attention.

The military meeting continued for over five hours, after which a staff officer burst in, reporting new developments to Pupeng.

"Your Majesty, the Chan Country Army is making large-scale movements at the border. Twenty thousand enemy troops are launching a major military campaign against our country in Beibi Prefecture, Da Prefecture, Phongsong Prefecture, and Chumphon Province. Our forward positions have been subjected to heavy artillery bombardments and aerial bombings.

After the bombardment, the Chan Country Soldiers dispatched tanks and infantry to attack, including a large number of Super Soldiers as the Sharp Knife Company, and also deployed Spider Mecha into battle.

Our soldiers, having survived the bombardment, are unable to hold back the advance of the Chan Country Army. As of now, they have breached our first line of defense at the border, and have advanced an average of twenty kilometers into our territory. Our forces are now holding the second and third lines of defense, with multiple frontline units requesting reinforcements."

"What!"

Pupeng's face turned pale with fear, trying to stand up but accidentally hitting the chair, he clumsily fell to the floor but didn't bother to stand up, frantically looking up and shouting: "Hurry, ask for help from Beautiful Country, Siam is at a critical juncture of life and death, we need their assistance."

.....

"Shocking! Jieke Group deploys a mysterious new large Human-shaped Mecha into battle, which looks strikingly like a giant spider, a never-before-seen creation in Mecha design."

"The first large Human-shaped Mecha used in actual combat, Jieke Group is leading the global Mecha industry by twenty years."

"Siam suffers the greatest defeat in its history, with twelve hundred Combat Vehicles destroyed and over 30,000 soldiers killed. The combat strength of Mechas is unmatched worldwide, heralding the dawn of the Mecha era."

"A renowned military analyst from the Great British Empire declared that with the appearance of the Spider Main Battle Mecha, overnight, every tank in the world, whether operational or under development, has become obsolete and belonged to the dustbin of history."

The next day, news of this great battle surged to the top of global trends, dominating news rankings in countries worldwide and sparking intense global discussion.

Several videos released by Jieke Group themselves were shared tens of millions of times in just one day.

In the video, the scene captured by Jieke Group's First Mecha Combat Brigade on the Siamese Plain depicted the Spider Main Battle Mecha in action, fully engaged in combat, destroying all types of armored vehicles in its path.

Tanks were shattered by its 203-mm main cannon, armored vehicles were pierced into honeycombs by machine gunfire, and soldiers were overwhelmed by dense 12.7-mm gunfire, littering the ground with corpses.

The combat videos were filmed very clearly, and the cruel and violent scenes allowed viewers to fully appreciate the strength of the Spider Mecha.

The cold body could withstand multiple cannon strikes, fierce firepower blasted in all directions from the mech, and its eight long legs agilely dashed and dodged, capable of arming against airborne helicopters and destroying armored vehicles—squashing infantry was as simple as stepping on ants.

Every viewer who saw the video gaped in astonishment, stunned by the grand armored conflict and the terrifying capabilities of the Spider Mecha.

As expected, the sudden emergence of the Spider Mecha ignited global curiosity instantly, leading to a surge in related discussions on social platforms such as Twitter, Douyin, Bihu, and Facebook.

'God, Jieke Group actually has this kind of real battle large mecha. I thought they were just bluffing before.'

"A 203 mm cannon as the main weapon of the mecha, how dare Jieke Group! Isn't this bullying? They even brought naval artillery on land to bully the army, can they consider the feelings of the infantry being bombarded?"

"One 203 mm main gun, two 30 mm machine guns, four 20 mm machine guns, 8 12.7 mm heavy machine guns-this firepower configuration, coupled with such strong defensive capabilities, is simply an armored bunker. I'm really curious, how Jieke Group managed it, enabling such a huge thing to move."

'According to the latest battle report, Jieke Group only lost 18 large Spider Mechas, but they wiped out two armored divisions and twelve hundred combat vehicles. The combat power is absurdly off the charts.'

'Human armored vehicles are too outdated now, including the seemingly advanced Beautiful Country M1A2 main battle tank, which was also easily destroyed by Jieke Group's Spider Mecha on the Siamese Plain. In future ground battles, large Main Battle Mechas will become the new kings of land warfare; tanks are outdated.'

'Incredible mecha, great Jieke Group, the light of humanity, Su Jie, has ushered in the human mecha era.'

'As the second largest superpower in the world, we India must also possess large mechas to maintain world peace and order.'

'This mecha is so cool, I really want to buy one to play with. How much would Jieke Group sell one for?'

'Real-life movies have entered reality. I never thought I would see a mecha in my lifetime, but Jieke Group has really got this thing figured out from movies! I suspect they have alien technology.'

The discussion online exploded, and after seeing the mechas appear, many people were ecstatic, raising posters from movies and games like Transformers, Pacific Rim, and StarCraft, hoping their own countries would quickly follow in mecha development.

Many others began further denouncing Jieke Group's malpractices, accusing them of assassinating the Siam King and brazenly invading Siam, akin to a resurgence of modern Nazism.

Of course, more people were still amazed by the Spider Mecha created by Jieke Group. Although it's not the most hoped-for Human-shaped Mecha, its rugged and ferocious appearance, powerful combat capabilities, and fierce firepower still captured a large fan base.

Not just the casual onlookers, military experts from various countries were more surprised that large mechas were actually built and used in real combat.

Even though Jieke Group possessed Biological Armored Mechas, many military experts believed that once mechas were enlarged, they would become easy targets with no practical combat utility.

Even Jieke Group's previously debuted Tiger Main Battle Mecha was belittled by many experts from various countries as being utterly useless.

Now, with the Spider Mecha's debut, countless military experts had their faces figuratively swollen.

In front of the Spider Mecha's astonishing track record, pulling off an exchange ratio of one to several dozens against an armored torrent, anyone who dares to spout nonsense saying large mechas are useless must be drowned in the spit of the populace.

As a result, global military budgets surged, and an arms race for mechas kicked off by Jieke rapidly swept across the world, with hundreds of billions of US Dollars continually invested into the research field.

Including the five permanent members, they stepped up funding for mecha research, hoping to quickly keep pace with this global military transformation and join the mecha club.

Various military forces actively responded to mecha development, enthusiastically pursuing their own country's mecha projects, inadvertently forming a mecha race.
