Chapter 580 The Wisdom of the Prince of Fu
An armed uprising instantly turned the people of three states in the country of Holland into refugees.
Countless people were displaced and fled to neighboring countries.
No one could have predicted that this lowland country, known for its windmills, tulips, and lithography machines, would become so special.
It burst into the world's view with such a violent manner.
Before the riots broke out, the name "Freeland" only appeared in the scraps of far-right forums.
But when the first batch of armored vehicles led by Prince Fu's mercenaries rolled over the checkpoint on the outskirts of Saang State.
When heavily armed men occupied the Saang State Parliament building, all the contempt turned into shock.
What is even more astonishing is the intensity and speed of the riots.
The Freeland Freeland militants wore uniform modular tactical vests and carried spotless HK416 rifles.
Videos circulating on social media show these armed men speeding forward in modified civilian trucks.
When they encountered roadblocks, they used explosives to precisely clear them; when they encountered sporadic resistance, they used heavy machine guns to suppress it. Their actions were so decisive, as if they had practiced them a thousand times.
From any perspective, this is a well-trained and well-equipped armed force.
In contrast, the performance of the Dutch Defence Forces was extremely poor.
This also reveals that these EU countries have been at peace for too long.
The weaknesses include being too unfamiliar with bomb disposal drills and being too lax in the sense of crisis regarding war.
The mechanized brigade deployed in Saon province lost three ammunition depots in the first engagement.
The brigade commander screamed into the radio, "Requesting air support!"
However, the Dutch Air Force's F-35s did not take off until two hours later—by which time the Freeland flag had already been planted on the state government building.
The local gendarmerie in Saang State is even more outrageous.
The video shows the commander seeing the muzzles of the armed men's guns flashing in the darkness.
The first reaction was to order "not to escalate the conflict," but when the entire team was disarmed, many of them hadn't even pulled the bolts back.
"Unstoppable momentum" has become a frequently used phrase in news reports from various countries.
Within three days, Freeland had taken control of transportation hubs in three states.
They cut off the natural gas pipeline and even erected a temporary floating bridge over Lake IJssel.
Satellite images show that the convoy of armed rioters formed a long line along the highway, clearly indicating a large-scale, organized operation.
CNN's military commentator analyzes tactical maps with a magnifying glass:
“Look at their infiltration route; they completely avoided the pre-set positions of the Helan Army. And look at their control of the power grid—it’s incredibly precise. This is something a rabble could never do.”
The eyes of the world are fixed on this lowland.
The UN Security Council convened an emergency meeting, and the EU activated its border control plan.
Even the media in India, which has never paid much attention to European affairs, invited "experts" during prime time to analyze the impact of the rise of "Freeland" on the global security situation.
On Twitter, the topic of the Holland coup d'état garnered over 50 billion views in three days.
Military forums are full of analyses of the "Freeland" tactics:
Some say their combined arms tactics resemble the German Blitzkrieg.
Someone discovered that the encrypted radio they used was the same model used by a certain Middle Eastern armed group.
Some people even dug up a manifesto from a far-right party ten years ago, exclaiming in surprise, "So it was premeditated all along."
Jane's Defence Weekly published a headline: "Holan's defense system faces collapse."
The U.S. State Department spokesperson stated that "this is the biggest crisis Holland has faced since World War II."
However, on the morning of the fourth day, the wind direction suddenly changed.
The first to notice something amiss were Reuters reporters.
While he was stationed on the border of Saon State, he discovered that the Freeland militants who used to patrol the area were nowhere to be seen.
Instead, civilians carrying their belongings fled towards Belgium.
The Holland government hastily assembled a counter-insurgency force—a temporary unit composed of reservists and police.
When they arrived in Saon State in armored vehicles painted with the words "Uphold the Constitution".
The anticipated street fighting did not occur.
The black flag in front of the state government building had long been torn down, and only a few armed henchmen were left at the entrance, bewildered by the tens of thousands of He Lanping's rebel troops surrounding them.
"We...we received orders to lay down our weapons and go home."
The voice of the armed henchman being interrogated trembled.
What fell out of the tactical vest wasn't a grenade, but a half-eaten box of chocolates.
The counter-insurgency troops practically marched into the capital of Saang province while singing.
This bizarrely smooth progress made the commander uneasy.
He sent a reconnaissance company deep into the heart of the territory, and the report he received was:
“All the resistance strongholds in the entire Saon state were empty, with only some discarded weapons and canned goods found.”
But the most bizarre thing was yet to come.
When the counterinsurgency forces split into two groups and advanced toward the two occupied northern states, they encountered no resistance.
Then the pacification army marched north.
The two states that were first occupied by Freeland were almost completely deserted.
This civil war, which military experts around the world predicted would last "at least three months," was quelled in just seven days from its outbreak.
When the last group of Freeland militants were disarmed.
The casualty figures for He Lanping's rebel army remain at 3 people with minor injuries.
One person was grazed by a stray bullet, and the other two were injured when they tripped over foreign objects during a forced march.
What truly ignited global public opinion was a temporary command post of "Freeland".
When the counter-insurgency troops kicked open the door, the spiritual leader of Freeland—the man who, just three days earlier, had been called "the Holand version of Castro" by the media—was already slumped over his desk.
He was holding an old-fashioned revolver in his hand.
In front of him was a handwritten note, the handwriting messy.
The recordings carried by the counterinsurgency troops revealed these to be the last words of the spiritual leader of Freeland:
"This is a filthy world. The weak-willed rulers of Ho Lan, by unconditionally following the United States, will only drag themselves into the abyss of hell. Asma's sanctions against China are the most shameful proof—we are using our own technology as pawns for others. I want to destroy Asma and let my compatriots see that a regime without backbone will only become a puppet. But now I understand that awakening is never achieved through violence. May God forgive this world that has been hijacked by capital."
The Dutch government initially tried to suppress the news, but the contents of the note were leaked anyway.
When Reuters published the full text of that last message, the whole world fell silent.
The meaning of these last words is very straightforward.
That is, Freeland's original intention in launching the coup was not to seize power.
Instead, they wanted to destroy ASML, otherwise Holland would become a tool in the hands of the United States.
Meanwhile, the spiritual leader of Freeland committed suicide by shooting himself, hoping to awaken the people of the nation and even the world with his death, so that they would not become puppets of the United States.
It was only at this point that many people realized this.
It wasn't that He Lanping's rebel army was particularly brave.
Rather, the spiritual leader of "Free Freeland" has committed suicide.
For a time, people all over Freeland and even the world regarded the spiritual leader of "Freeland" as a hero.
This also sparked a global wave of opposition to US hegemony.
People in many countries held large-scale demonstrations.
However, what no one knew was...
The death of the spiritual leader of Freeland was not a suicide.
His "suicide" was more valuable than his "living," and it attracted more global attention.
Therefore, Prince Fu personally arranged a "suicide" scene for him that shocked the world.
The purpose was to incite anti-American sentiment worldwide.
It has also attracted worldwide attention.
As for Prince Fu, he has already fled to the Middle East with most of Asmai's core engineers.
The core components of the dismantled lithography machines were also transported to the Middle East.
Because the Middle East is relatively chaotic.
Furthermore, the EU and other countries have relatively weaker regulations in these areas.
