Dragon Nation has never supported the DWS platform—not in the past, not now, and never in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words immediately sparked a fierce verbal battle at the Lianheguo Assembly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, overall, the United Nations remained unable to stop the Ugly Nation's war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside the Ugly Nation, countries like Little Japan, the Stick Nation, and John Bull all expressed their support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, Dragon Nation had only Mao Xiong as a weighty ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(PS: This new book needs flowers, tips, and review tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)
