But when the opponent changed to the Jieke Group, it was completely different. The powerful military strength and brutal assaults of the Jieke Group immediately brought these Indian soldiers back to their original form, awakening their fear.

As a result, in the subsequent battle for Guahati City, only a few areas saw skirmishes. Most of the time, wherever the Jieke Group went, a large number of Indian soldiers proactively surrendered.

This also changed the nature of the siege battle. Rather than a siege, it was more like a parade for the Jieke Group.

Under the name and military might of the Jieke Group, the Indian defenders inside the city wisely chose the most beneficial option for themselves, which was to raise their hands in surrender.

By the time the last gunshot in the city ceased, the flag of the Jieke Group was raised atop the highest building in Guahati, and it was only noon.

It took just four hours for the Jieke Group to successfully recapture Guahati City and bring it under their control.

The Guahati City, which the Saxu Armed with its hundred thousand soldiers couldn't take down in three days, was settled by the Jieke Group's army in four hours.

When Dai Ah Hong witnessed the scene outside the city, watching Indian soldiers being escorted out one by one by the Jieke Group soldiers, with captured weapons piled into small mountains, he finally understood the immense power of the force he had allied with. They had subdued the South Asian hegemon India, and the numerous prisoners in front of him were a testament to that.

This also solidified Dai Ah Hong's resolve to cling tightly to the Jieke Group, believing it to be the key to the survival of the future Assam Country.

With the fall of Guahati City, the influence of the Jieke Group continued to spread towards the East District Six States. With the internal cooperation of Saxu Armed, cities were being occupied one after another.

Five days later, the entire East District Six States had completely submitted to the Jieke Group. Cities there were either occupied or had voluntarily changed their banners, declaring subjugation to the Jieke Group.

Immediately, before the smoke of war had fully dissipated, the Jieke Group held a so-called public referendum conference.

The referendum had only two options: one was for the East District Six States to secede from India and establish an independent country for the Assamese.

The other was to remain dependent on India, becoming the most underdeveloped economic region of India.

Despite India's furious protests and anger, the Jieke Group expedited the referendum process.

The Jieke Group originally thought they might need to manipulate the votes, but the results showed that the East District Six States' hostility towards India made such measures unnecessary.

The result of the referendum showed an astounding eighty-five percent approval for independence, which spoke volumes about India's unpopularity in the East District Six States.

As soon as the referendum ended, the Jieke Group announced the results and, respecting the will of the local people, allowed them to establish their own country, free from India's evil control.

Subsequently, in the East District Six States, a new country named Assam was established, with Dai Ah Hong as its first president.

On the day Assam was founded, the Jieke Group immediately issued a statement recognizing Assam's independence and establishing friendly diplomatic relations and an embassy.

Assam simultaneously established diplomatic relations with the Jieke Group. The day after Dai Ah Hong became the president of Assam, he personally visited the Jieke Group to meet with Su Jie, pledging allegiance and signing a package of diplomatic and cooperative agreements, making it clear to everyone who controlled Assam.

Through this series of maneuvers, India directly lost nearly two hundred thousand square kilometers of territory and over fifty million citizens.

At the same time, Assam became a bridgehead and buffer zone for the Jieke Group against India, driving the entire nation into a furious rage.
