These three days are extremely unusual for the people living in the Panu Islands.

Originally, they thought that the government army would be overthrown by the rebels, but the rebels were beaten to the ground. Just when they gave up hope in the rebels, the mercenaries they paid for raised the white flag of the government army.

Such a dramatic change has left many people unable to react.

But in any case, the revolution was a victory.

After the occupation of the barracks, the insurgents regained confidence in victory, and those who did not die in the civil war reunited under the new flag, retrieved equipment from the occupied arsenal, and captured the presidential residence, which was modeled after the White House.

He grabbed President Edward, who had not yet woken up, from his bed and shoved him into prison. An insurgent, who climbed onto the roof of the presidential palace, cut the yellow sun flag with a logging axe and replaced it with a new flag painted with nine stars and two palm leaves.

The nine stars symbolize the nine islands of the Panu Islands, and the palm fronds symbolize victory.

At the same time, surrounded by insurgents, Zhang Yaping, who had been elected leader of the Civil Liberties Party, took the presidency and read out the founding proclamation in front of a group of sleepy-eyed foreign journalists.

The old regime was abolished, and the government of the Panu Islands was changed from a presidential dictatorship to a presidential republic. At the same time, the state was changed to a federal system. The name of the country is the New Panu Federation, referred to as the New Country.

The first president will be Zhang Yaping, who will serve a five-year term, and universal suffrage will be held after five years. The Legislature is composed of nine members elected by voters in their respective constituencies on the islands.

With the exception of minor changes to the powers of the President in the Constitution, the remaining laws follow those of the previous regime.

The federation of only nine islands is undoubtedly a bit comical in the eyes of various media. So much so that many Western media are hesitating. Should this news be placed in the current affairs section or in the entertainment section?

Immediately after, a BBC reporter asked. Why is the name of the country named in Chinese? Zhang Yaping's explanation for this is that 36% of the island's residents are of Chinese descent. Chinese is listed alongside English and Dutch as the common language spoken on the island, and this decision was made with language habits in mind, so don't over-interpret it.

At this time, another reporter asked a very pointed question, President Edward dictatorship with the army, and how can you guarantee that you will not follow the same path as him?

In response to this question, Zhang Yaping felt a little bitter in his heart, but he did not show any expression on his face, and lightly announced a word that shocked all reporters -- "defense contracting system"

The defense of the Panu Islands will be fully contracted by Transwarp Trading. Transwarp Trading Company has the right to recruit mercenaries in or outside the territory of Panu and undertake the protection of Panu territory. Transwarp Trading is directly accountable to the Constitution. There is no need to obey the president, and the cost of employment is offset by customs duties and land rent.

After hearing Zhang Yaping's explanation, a thought flashed through the minds of all the reporters.

It's insane.

In this way, it is tantamount to completely handing over the military power of the state to private individuals, and running the army in the mode of running enterprises.

Will such an army be combative? Can such an army guarantee national security? Is such an army itself safe?

But after calming down, these reporters thought about it again, and this kind of thing is not unprecedented in the world.

The U.S. military is currently the most reliant on private contractors in the world. More than 60 percent of the U.S. Department of Defense's annual funding is paid to contractors. In addition to performing the most basic military duties, the current US soldiers have outsourced all the big and small affairs in the military. From the development and manufacture of weapons to the logistics of eating, drinking, and lazing, private contractors are everywhere.

Government-owned. Private contracting can not only save a lot of costs, but also throw the trouble of bereavement of fallen soldiers to private enterprises.

Such a system is not entirely undesirable, given precedent.

It's just that the entire "Ministry of Defense" has been so completely thrown into private contracting. This is the first time these reporters have heard of it.

I have to say that in terms of laziness, this small country with a big sesame seed is at the forefront of the world.

Time. This small country, with a population of less than 20,000, has rarely been on the homepage of international news several times. Meanwhile. The Transwarp Trading Company has also been featured in many well-known newspapers.

All sorts of irresponsible speculations have popped up about this company that the public has never heard of.

Some say there may be oil underneath the Panu Islands. And this Transwarp trading company is just a subsidiary of a large oil conglomerate, and the capital is likely to come from the United States. Some people speculate that this may be the handiwork of Huaguo, paving the way for meddling in overseas affairs

Of course, no one guessed the relationship between Transwarp Trading Company and Future People International, after all, the two have nothing to do. Before the ship left West Africa, Jiang Chen cancelled the future security company registered in Niger and transferred the equipment and remaining personnel of the military base to the other two ships. As for the infrastructure that could not be transferred, he gave it to the Government of Niger at cost price.

The two ships were to take the Cape of Good Hope route and make a long detour to the Panu Islands

On the other side, after the insurgents took President Edward and his family to prison, they angrily surrounded Johnny's villa.

This time they were careful, learning from the failure of the last assault on Johnny's villa, and this time they mobilized the only armored vehicle that had survived the civil war. With the cover of armored vehicles, they undoubtedly have a lot of confidence.

However, when they feel Johnny's villa, they find that someone has already been here.

The iron gate of the courtyard wall lay on the lawn a few meters away, as if it had been hit by a car. The walls seemed to be swept by large-caliber bullets, and in some places they were broken into several pieces. In particular, the machine gun position on the roof, which was surrounded by sandbags, was also swept into sand by bullets. Many walls were shattered, and it was unknown what weapon was so powerful.

The bodies in the villa have not yet been cleaned, and all the dead have been shot through the left chest. The murderer's marksmanship was so terrifying that even the mercenaries hiding behind the wall were pierced through the heart by bullets.

Eventually, the insurgents found Johnny's body in the basement, along with four women he had imprisoned in the basement.

Three of the women are locals, one is even married, and one is even in junior high school. Originally, he was registered as dead because of a car accident, but he didn't expect to be imprisoned in his villa by this villain.

The other woman, a journalist from Australia, was captured during an unannounced visit to Johnny's villa. After this incident was exposed, it caused an uproar in Australian public opinion, but Johnny is dead, and there is no point in denouncing the crime of a corpse, not to mention that the old regime has been overthrown, and the matter has subsided after a period of boiling.

All four victims later received a generous amount of compensation under the name of the new government. It is said that the money was donated by an anonymous wealthy businessman, and it can be regarded as a small compensation for the unfortunate person.

Of course, that's all for later. (To be continued.) )
