Just as Hu Jun hadn't recovered from the missile attack, a middle-aged man with a white cloth wrapped around his head, a white long skirt, and a full beard rushed in through the door, looking anxious.
Upon seeing Hu Jun standing by the window, lost in thought, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
After all, the three commanders of their Houthi armed forces had been killed in battle.
Although Hu Jun had an Eastern face, his bloodline was that of the Houthi family.
Moreover, through their thorough investigation, they had confirmed that Hu Jun was the last direct descendant of the Houthi family.
If he were to be killed, their Houthi organization would inevitably fall into chaos.
"Leader, you're fine! That's great!"
This man was...
Looking at the unfamiliar middle-aged man, memories flooded back into Hu Jun's mind.
Soon, he recognized the man's identity.
He was the deputy commander of the Houthi armed forces, having served two previous commanders.
He was considered an elder of the Houthi forces.
"Musa, what happened outside just now?"
"Why were there rockets attacking here?"
Hu Jun, regaining his composure, immediately asked.
"Reporting to the leader, the attack just now was carried out by the Arab Coalition forces."
"Since we have just taken over this city, everything is still in disarray."
"This allowed the Arab Coalition forces to launch a successful sneak attack."
"This is my negligence, please punish me, leader."
"But please rest assured, leader, those Arab Coalition forces who launched the rockets have been discovered by our people."
"They are currently going after them, and we'll soon wipe them all out."
Musa answered with some self-reproach.
After all, he was responsible for the leader's safety.
Those rockets were clearly aimed at their new leader.
If those rockets hadn't deviated slightly, the newly appointed leader would have been blown to pieces.
He would have been the organization's biggest sinner.
Arab Coalition?
Hu Jun's mind raced at the sound of these words.
Although this parallel world had some deviations from the original world, the general situation was still similar.
Since it was now 2015, according to the timeline of the original world, the Houthi armed forces were at a turning point in their fate.
At this time, the Houthi armed forces had just defeated the Yemeni government forces and occupied Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, shortly before.
In the original world, this was the time when Saudi Arabia, along with ten Arab countries, assembled an army of 150,000 troops and over a hundred fighter jets.
They launched a military operation codenamed "Operation Decisive Storm" against the Houthi armed forces.
However, despite their grand scale, the outcome was that the Houthi forces became stronger.
The military operation lasted for seven years.
The Arab Coalition not only failed to eliminate the Houthi armed forces completely, but also led to Yemen falling into a three-way split.
The Houthi armed forces in Yemen controlled Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, and a large area in the north, with a large population.
The government forces controlled some southern provinces and a small part of the northern region.
Another force, the "Southern Transitional Council", controlled the temporary capital, Aden, and some southern regions.
Moreover, throughout these seven years of war, the Arab coalition, composed of rich kids, had been continuously supplying the Houthi armed forces with advanced equipment from the Free World.
The Houthi armed forces had not only completely escaped their previous predicament of lacking even standard uniforms, but their weapons strength had also grown to a terrifying level.
They had become one of the new small tyrants of the Middle East.
This was absolutely good news for Hu Jun's current situation.
However, seven years was a long time.
But Hu Jun couldn't wait. He couldn't let the Houthi armed forces develop naturally.
He needed to accelerate the development of this force.
To become the Blue Star Empire, he had to at least quickly stabilize the situation in Yemen and unify the country.
Thinking about this, Hu Jun opened the system interface again.
He then clicked on his personal panel.
He wanted to see his current strength.
Then, a virtual panel appeared.
【Player Name: Kang Sheng】
【Affiliated Force: Houthi Armed Organization】
【Total Funds: $80 billion】
【Territory: 160,000 square kilometers】
【Population: 15 million】
【National Level: 0】
【Personal Reputation: 0】
【Military Strength: 75,000 armed personnel, 50,000 civilian loyalists, 50,000+ AK-47 rifles, 30,000+ RPG-7 rocket launchers, 15 tanks, 10+ P21 and P22 missiles...】
Looking at his attribute panel, Hu Jun felt a headache coming on.
The Houthi forces were still too poor. No wonder they were called the "Flip-Flop Army" by the outside world.
Although he currently had 80 billion dollars at his disposal, it was the total income of the 15 million people under his control, plus the profits of the armed organization's industries.
And a significant portion of that was support from his big brother behind the scenes, the wolf.
Otherwise, he would have even less money at his disposal.
In terms of military strength, there was no doubt that this armed organization, having fought for years and skilled in guerrilla warfare, was incredibly powerful.
If they had sufficiently advanced military equipment, they could easily pacify Yemen.
But right now, their weapons were just too trashy.
They mostly had light weapons like RPG-7 rocket launchers and AK-47 rifles.
The only few tanks they had were World War II vintage tanks captured during previous battles with the Yemeni government forces.
Even the ten-plus missiles were outdated products from the old Soviet Union.
But this was all thanks to the wolf, who gave them this equipment after they had won a few battles recently.
They were just so poor!
Seeing his force's pathetic state, Hu Jun felt a chill go down his spine.
Was he really going to have to wait seven years, let the Houthi forces grow on their own, and then act?
Right, I still have the game to help me!
Thinking about this, Hu Jun felt a glimmer of hope again.
He immediately exited the personal panel and clicked on the "Production and Construction" button at the top of the interface.
Suddenly, an abundance of goods appeared before him.
This included not only military facilities like armories, combat laboratories, and shipyards, but also power plants, ore refineries, repair shops, and other facilities needed for economic and social development.
However, all of these production and construction units were currently black and unable to be clicked.
There was also a red reminder below.
【Basic Production Construction requires a designated main city to be unlocked.】
【Items can be exchanged using personal reputation points. The current player's personal reputation points are 0.】
Seeing this prompt, Hu Jun finally understood.
To continue developing, the first priority was to determine the location of the main city.
Moreover, he had to gain personal reputation points as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to exchange anything from the game interface.
With these thoughts in mind, Hu Jun had a plan.
