Chapter 123

President Lin and Secretary Li share a most extraordinary relationship.

Of course, all this is a story for later.

"How was it? Did it feel good?"

Li Li Xueying asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"Mm, not bad; that feeling from earlier is gone now!"

Inhaling the unique feminine fragrance on her body,

Lin Yi wasted no words, pulling her directly into his embrace and seating her on his lap.

"Ah!"

Li Li Xueying immediately let out a startled cry.

Clearly, she had been frightened by Lin Yi's action.

However, the next moment her alluring lips were sealed.

After instinctively struggling for a bit, it did not take long before she gradually lost herself in it.

Roughly ten-plus minutes passed.

Then came a knock on the office door.

The two hastily separated in panic.

Li Li Xueying, her face flushed with red clouds, quickly straightened her black work uniform.

Yet the enchanting charm on her face could not be erased so easily.

She shot Lin Yi a reproachful glance.

Only then did the little secretary hurriedly depart.

When the newcomer entered the office, they saw Lin Yi seated at the desk, while Li Li Xueying stood beside him, her face flushed with red clouds.

Only the wrinkles on her skirt seemed somewhat abnormal.

Upon seeing this situation, especially Li Li Xueying's flushed face,

the newcomer immediately seemed to realize something and thought to herself:

"Sure enough, this beautiful Secretary Li and the boss have something going on... I must be careful from now on!"

"Is there something you need?"

Lin Yi asked while wiping his hands with a tissue.

"President Lin, President Yang is not in the company; here is a document that urgently requires a signature!"

"President Yang has gone to inspect the new factory. Mm, bring it over," Lin Yi said.

Thus, after taking the document, he glanced at it briefly before signing his name.

Meanwhile, the little secretary looked at the slightly damp paper on the desk.

Her cheeks turned as red as an apple, wishing she could burrow into a crack in the earth.

Her entire person exuded an indescribable enchanting allure!

(PS: For the new book, we seek flowers, tips, and rating tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)

After that employee left, Li Li Xueying fled, breaking into a light jog as she ran out.

Watching this scene, Lin Yi broke into a smile.

Judging by the little secretary's expression, she did not seem to oppose the intimacy that had just occurred.

And Lin Yi was enjoying the peace.

In the distant Red Sea region, the entire sea surface could be said to be filled with an aura of grim killing intent.

A large number of Ugly Nation warships had gathered here.

Although land operations would still require some time,

naval operations had already begun after President Xiao Ao signed the war order.

A massive fleet of the Ugly Nation was assembling in the Red Sea.

Since the Yingji-18 missiles on the DWS platform had sold out completely,

the Ugly Nation was not worried about the other side launching another attack like that.

However, even so, the Ugly Nation Navy still deployed a specific defensive formation,

gathering the aircraft carriers in the center of the fleet.

All active radars were operating twenty-four hours a day, and nuclear-powered submarines stood ready at all times

to prevent any possible attack.

Meanwhile, neither Syria nor Yemen would sit idly by.

To deal with the opponent's missiles, Syria, in addition to ordering large quantities of air defense missiles,

also purchased many drones from the DWS platform.

This was to cope with the upcoming asymmetric warfare,

including ten Ugly Nation MQ-9 Reaper drones,

with a unit price of five million USD, a system purchase price of five hundred thousand USD, and a total order value of fifty million USD.

The MQ-9 Reaper drone is a medium-altitude military unmanned aerial vehicle developed by the Ugly Nation's General Atomics company.

It is a multi-purpose drone capable of executing reconnaissance, surveillance, and target strike missions.

Equipped with high-resolution sensors and precision-guided weapons, it possesses long-endurance flight and long-range strike capabilities.

There were also ten Ugly Nation MQ-1 Predator armed reconnaissance drones,

with a unit price of four million USD, a system purchase price of four hundred thousand USD, and a total order value of forty million USD.

The MQ-1 Predator is an armed reconnaissance drone developed by the Ugly Nation's General Atomics company.

Widely used for reconnaissance and strike missions, it is equipped with electro-optical sensors and missile weapon systems.

MQ-1 Predator drones carried out numerous successful strike operations in places like Iraq and Afghanistan,

providing crucial intelligence support to the Ugly military.

Then there were ten MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones,

with a unit price of five million USD, a system purchase price of five hundred thousand USD, and a total order value of fifty million USD.

Entering service in 2009, this aircraft can fly continuously for about thirty hours at a speed of 280 kilometers per hour; it is a medium-altitude, long-endurance reconnaissance-strike integrated drone possessing stealth capabilities.

It can use precision-guided weapons to attack ground and air targets, is equipped with an onboard electronic warfare system, and can jam enemy communication systems.

Armed with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and GBU-44/B Viper Strike guided bombs, it can also carry the famous Stinger air-to-air missiles, inheriting many of the advantages of the renowned Predator drone.

In addition to these, Syria also ordered fifty thousand small suicide drones of various models.

With unit prices ranging from one hundred thousand to one million USD, the total came to one billion USD.

Furthermore, for Syria, which had upgraded to Diamond VIP status,

they also purchased Ugly Nation M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks,

two hundred units, for a total price of eight hundred million USD.

They acquired two thousand various types of artillery pieces and two million rounds of ammunition,

which, even with the DWS platform's low prices, were valued at one billion USD.

Other various light and heavy firearms totaled five hundred thousand units, with a total price of two hundred million USD.

One hundred million rounds of various bullets cost thirty million USD.

In a short span of time, Syria had placed orders exceeding three billion USD with the DWS platform.

Of this money, only nearly one billion USD belonged to Syria itself; the rest was covert support from Iran and Mao Xiong.

Regarding aircraft, although the DWS platform had unlocked the aircraft catalog,

shocking the world once again,

the Ugly Nation issued another diplomatic note to the Dragon Nation and simultaneously appealed on the platform that the DWS should respect intellectual property rights.

However, Lin Yi completely ignored all of this.

Beiyue had already formulated the "Beaufort Agreement" specifically targeting the DWS platform.

The "Beaufort Agreement" was a pact signed at an informal defense ministers' summit convened by the Ugly Nation in Beiyue,

named as such because the agreement was signed in the small town of Beaufort in South Carolina.

Therefore, its official name is the "Beaufort Agreement."

Its aim is to curb the DWS platform's conquests and expansion in the global weapons market.
