Chapter 172

And now the high command had officially declared the order to commence hostilities.

The members of Fatah finally no longer needed to endure.

Upon hearing this news, Hamas also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

After all, relying solely on their local organization to fight Israel, even if every single one of them were a God of War,

was extremely difficult.

Now that Fatah, the most powerful among the Palestinians, had also joined the battle,

it meant that the Palestinians were effectively engaging in total war with the Jews.

Every organization across all of Palestine, regardless of their ideologies, would now stake everything on this gamble.

If they lost, their entire nation would be obliterated from this point forward.

If they won, they could reclaim the lands invaded by Israel for many years and expand the living space for the Palestinian people.

This could be described as a battle wagering the fate of the nation.

However, upon witnessing the Palestinians' declaration of war staking everything,

Hezbollah in Lebanon similarly declared war on Israel.

Next came the Houthi armed forces in Yemen.

Even Syria, currently facing the imminent threat of a US-led coalition army pressing against its borders, declared war on Israel.

Soon, Egypt, which had remained inactive for a long time, suddenly declared war on Israel.

Although Iran, the major Middle Eastern power, had not yet entered the fray at this moment,

Suleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, was constantly moving within the Axis of Resistance,

having single-handedly facilitated these nations' declarations of war against Israel; he had even persuaded Egypt to join the conflict.

At the same time, he convinced the Supreme Leader to mobilize Iran's reserve funds,

providing comprehensive support from behind the scenes.

As for Mao Xiong, they were naturally delighted to see Israel, a nation propped up by the United States, become the target of hatred for the entire Middle East,

and thus cared little regarding financial expenditure.

Although the citizens of Mao Xiong might truly lack money,

as the world's largest resource-based nation, the state of Mao Xiong was indeed extremely wealthy.

Its secret funds overseas might exceed two trillion US dollars.

Therefore, Mao Xiong provided comprehensive support for this war.

To be honest, even Lin Yi had not expected

that his actions last night would actually trigger the Sixth Middle East War.

Looking at the large television specially installed in the president's office.

Various reports about the Middle East on Longguo News,

Lin Yi smiled faintly while sipping tea brewed by his little secretary that morning.

He had not expected that after last night's battle, so many countries would declare war on Israel today.

Triggering what could truly be called the Sixth Middle East War.

He did not know Israel's mood at this moment, but his own mood was quite good.

After all, the more chaotic the Middle East became, the better his arms business would be.

Think about it; to fight the Israeli military, one needs weapons, right?

And if the Middle East is this chaotic, even the wealthy Old Saudi Kingdom must protect itself, right?

That also requires weapons.

Especially now that the Ugly Country is too preoccupied to care for itself; if Old Saudi Kingdom is smart,

it should pay protection fees to the DWS Platform.

Seeing many people in the Israeli protest crowds weeping, and countless Jews kneeling before the Wailing Wall amidst the ruins as if their entire families had died.

Even through the television screen, Lin Yi could feel their heart-rending sorrow.

"Hmm, now these Jews can have a good cry in the future!"

Lin Yi felt a sense of schadenfreude in his heart.

"Boss, I notice you really enjoy watching international news?"

At this moment, Li Li Xueying, the little secretary massaging him beside him, said.

"Is that so?!" Lin Yi smiled faintly.

"Boss, who do you think made Israel suffer so miserably?" Li Li Xueying asked.

"Oh, do you sympathize with them?" Lin Yi turned his head and asked curiously.

"Of course not; aren't there many exposures online about how disgusting these Jews are?

These Jews sold opium to us back then, then instigated the Opium Wars, and later there was the Fugu Plan and so on.

Moreover, they are now imprisoning millions of Palestinians in Gaza, a place like a prison.

I must say the Jews are not worthy of any pity at all!" Li Li Xueying said.

Regarding this, Lin Yi laughed and said:

"Hmm, your values are very correct; keep it up!"

"Heehee!" Li Li Xueying immediately laughed happily.

A moment later, she said:

"By the way, Boss, Mr. Ma Ma Sike, the president of Tesla Motors in the Ugly Country, has scheduled a meeting with you shortly!"

"Tesla, that electric vehicle company valued at over 20 billion US dollars in the Ugly Country?"

Lin Yi asked.

In fact, before the Modu factory was established,

Tesla electric vehicles were not very famous.

Although it was quite well-known in the Ugly Country and among some professionals,

Tesla currently basically targeted the Ugly Country market.

Such cars were virtually unseen within Longguo.

Therefore, Tesla's market capitalization in 2016 was only a little over 20 billion US dollars.

Of course, compared to Fengyi Technology at this time, Tesla was considered a large company.

Naturally, the reason Tesla's market value later skyrocketed

was because Longguo made Tesla what it was, after Tesla built its factory in Modu.

Because the Longguo market held great potential, coupled with national support,

Tesla was able to achieve great success in Longguo.

It is worth noting that Tesla released its first electric vehicle model in 2008, but its sales were not ideal;

in ten years, it sold only over a hundred thousand units, far below expectations.

However, after Tesla came to develop in Longguo, its sales performance soared straight up,

which further expanded Tesla's influence, and its stock price also surged all the way.

Of course, Lin Yi did not know about these future events.

"What time is Ma Ma Sike's scheduled appointment?" he asked.

At this moment, Lin Yi merely regarded the other party as a potential partner and did not pay too much attention.

After all, Fengyi Technology's current production capacity was far from sufficient to meet domestic demand,

let alone exports.

However, with the future expansion of lithium battery production scale,

if batteries could be exported to companies like Tesla,

Fengyi Technology would not only gain considerable US dollars but also boost its own reputation.

Therefore, Lin Yi did not refuse this meeting with Ma Ma Sike.

Thus, at ten o'clock in the morning, Ma Ma Sike appeared punctually at the Fengyi Technology Songjiang Entrepreneurship Center,

arriving at Fengyi Technology Company.
