Chapter 114

The Middle East, Asia, Africa—the Ugly Nation's military power spans the globe,

but in recent years, following its two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Ugly Nation achieved victory without results, instead sinking deep into a quagmire of war and squandering military funds.

With great difficulty, after President Xiao Ao took office and contracted the Ugly Nation's military presence in the Middle East,

the Ugly Nation discovered at that very moment that it was already so deeply entrenched it could not extricate itself.

Meanwhile, the people of the Middle East had already found a practical and effective method to deal with the Ugly Nation....

From the sinking of this aircraft carrier, one can see that although the Ugly Nation remains militarily powerful, it is by no means invincible...."

"Then, Professor Zhang, in your personal opinion, will the Ugly Nation use the 'Aircraft Carrier Incident' as a pretext to launch a war against the Middle East...!"

the host asked.

"The probability is low; there are several aspects to consider.... On one hand, the environment in the Middle East is extremely complex,

and if the Ugly Nation truly acts stubbornly and launches a war, it will absolutely not be as easy to fight as the Iraq War was,

for the Middle East has known perpetual war and its people are fierce; if the Ugly Nation really attacks, the losses will be far greater than just a single aircraft carrier!"

Director Zhang began to elaborate.

Lin Yi was at his company, watching the CCTV broadcast on his computer.

To be honest, he had not expected Syria and the Houthi armed forces of Yemen to be so formidable,

actually using the Yingji-18 missiles he recommended to sink a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the Ugly Nation.

In fact, he had originally thought the other side would at most use those missiles to destroy a few of the Ugly Nation's ships.

After all, aircraft carriers are usually protected at the center of a carrier battle group.

To sink an aircraft carrier requires either an air strike or a saturation attack.

But clearly, with the fifty Yingji-18 missiles Syria had purchased, achieving such a feat was impossible.

He believed they could sink a few ordinary cruisers or Type 054A frigates.

But an aircraft carrier? That would be a miracle,

yet this miracle had come to pass.

He had no choice but to believe it; two days ago, when Wang Kai had woken him up by phone in the middle of the night,

he too had been utterly stunned upon hearing the news.

Although he had once hoped for it, one need not speak of how difficult it was in reality.

Lin Yi could only say in his heart,

"Syria, you are awesome! You actually pulled this off."

In fact, at the time, the Syrian side was also completely bewildered upon hearing the news.

That group from the Houthi armed forces of Yemen had actually sunk the Ugly Nation's aircraft carrier.

How did you do it?

However, even if they did not know how it was done, so what?

As long as they could strike the Ugly Nation, they were all extremely happy.

Let alone taking down the symbol of the Ugly Nation's military power.

Ironically, the President of Syria directly designated the day the Ugly Nation's aircraft carrier was sunk as the future National Day of Syria.

Immediately afterward, he received congratulations from Commander Suman of the Holy City Brigade of Iran, representing the Supreme Leader.

Hezbollah of Lebanon, the Taliban of Afghanistan, and others successively sent congratulatory telegrams.

Just as the Ugly Country was forming a joint investigation team.

Al Jazeera broadcast a video.

A group of armed militants, holding AK-47s, with faces covered and wearing camouflage uniforms, announced in the video that they were responsible for

the recent sinking of the Ugly Country's aircraft carrier.

At the same time, they displayed a Yingji-18 missile (casing).

It turned out that although the Hu Sai militants had already fired all 50 missiles during the attack two days prior,

they had subsequently manufactured a replica Yingji-18 missile casing themselves to display.

This missile featured gray paint with the black characters "YJ-18" printed on it.

From its appearance, it looked like an aircraft with short wings.

However, as this video was broadcast.

The Dragon Country side could no longer remain calm; Yingji-18.

Wasn't this exactly the same as the new anti-ship missile they were about to equip?

Both in appearance and name, they were identical.

Who had leaked this secret?

Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary nation to produce such an advanced anti-ship missile.

Investigate! We must investigate!

The high command of the military immediately launched a strict investigation.

They soon uncovered some foreign spies hidden within.

But that is a story for later.

In the video broadcast on Al Jazeera announcing responsibility for the incident,

they also expressed great gratitude to the DWS platform for supporting the Middle Eastern resistance against the Ugly Country's atrocities.

Simultaneously, the militants declared they would continue their war against the Ugly Country,

until not a single soldier or trooper of the Ugly Country remained in the Middle East.

Additionally, these militants announced they would behead the captured Ugly Country pilots.

Essentially, this was equivalent to declaring war on the Ugly Country.

It was clear that this group was truly brave.

Meanwhile, on the Ugly Country's side, after a simple investigation,

and particularly after analyzing the missile in the video, it was easy to conclude that it was a latest-model missile from the Dragon Country.

The press secretary of the Little White House announced the preliminary investigation results.

At the same time, the Dragon Country's Yingji-18 missile suddenly became famous worldwide.

After all, this was the missile that had directly destroyed a Ugly Country aircraft carrier.

Many nations flocked to log into their DWS platform accounts, eager to purchase this weapon.

Unfortunately, the listing for the Yingji-18 missile on the shop was already marked (Sold Out).

Obviously, they would definitely not be able to buy this kind of missile.

After all, although Lin Yi was busy making money, he was not foolish.

He would never massively sell off the Dragon Country's active-duty equipment.

Seeing this scene, the Dragon Country military finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, they would have truly worried that their trump card would become a cheap street vendor's item.

However, regarding the DWS weapons trading platform, the Dragon Country remained, as always, both loving and hating it, deeply conflicted.

And following this aircraft carrier sinking incident.

The Dragon Country's weapons achieved instant fame, with many customers around the globe beginning to order Dragon Country weapons on the DWS platform.

Orders for Dragon Country weapons even surpassed those of Mao Xiong for a time.

Unfortunately, facing such a hot weapons market.

The Dragon Country itself could only look on helplessly; unless the transaction served a political purpose,

otherwise, any normal person would choose a cheaper weapons supplier.

Lin Yi's original vision was gradually taking shape at this moment.

When people thought of weapons, they thought of the DWS platform, not the nations that created these weapons.

Unknowingly, people's dependence on the DWS weapons trading platform grew stronger and stronger.

However, as the video from Al Jazeera was broadcast.

The Northern Yue nations, led by the Ugly Country, began to point their fingers directly at the Dragon Country.

They demanded that the Dragon Country shut down the DWS weapons trading platform.
