Chapter 202

Although logically speaking, even after transferring 20,000 troops, Xuzheng Prefecture still had 30,000 soldiers guarding the capital.

But one must not forget that Xuzheng Prefecture had already declared war on Israel.

Although Israel's primary targets at present were still Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah, and others.

No one could be sure whether Israel might go mad and, at the Ugly Nation's request, dispatch troops to launch a surprise attack on Xuzheng Prefecture's capital.

After all, the two countries were extremely close to each other.

"What about that M1A2 Abrams combat brigade that earned merit last time? Can we dispatch them to intercept John Bull's forces..."

the President asked.

"Apologies, this unit is primarily tasked with countering the Ugly Nation's armored forces,"

a General stated, "if we rashly deploy them, they will easily become targets for the Ugly Nation's air force!"

At this moment, a General seemed to think of something:

"Your Excellency, President, I wonder if we could hire soldiers from the DWS Platform..."

Hearing this, the President of Xuzheng Prefecture was deeply puzzled:

"Soldiers from the DWS Platform? I do not recall the DWS Platform providing mercenary services; even last time, they only dispatched a single aircraft,"

"although that J-20 was indeed formidable."

"Not providing does not mean they do not exist, Your Excellency, President; why not ask the DWS Platform directly?"

"If this platform is secretly supported by the Long Nation's government, then given their current influence,"

"they would surely possess an armed force obedient to them!"

Hearing the General speak thus, the President of Xuzheng Prefecture reflected and found it reasonable.

Moreover, ever since Xuzheng Prefecture began its live broadcast, vast wealth from around the world had poured into the region.

In merely a few days, the Xuzheng Prefecture government had earned nearly 140 million US dollars.

It could be said that the live broadcasting industry had resolved part of Xuzheng Prefecture's fiscal crisis.

If they could hire the DWS Platform's mercenaries to act, this money would be put to good use.

Thus, the President ordered the liaison officer to urgently contact the DWS Platform's official headquarters.

Because he attached great importance to this Xuzheng Prefecture war, Lin Yi had set up an alert function.

Therefore, he received Xuzheng Prefecture's request immediately.

"John Bull, Kangaroo Nation, and Stick Nation, a force numbering six thousand..."

Lin Yi thought for a moment and decided he should let his temporary mercenary force make an appearance on the global stage,

otherwise, others might assume the DWS Platform possessed only a single aircraft and no actual armed strength.

As for this coalition force, whether it was John Bull, who had once instigated the Opium Wars,

or the Kangaroo Nation, which had engaged in constant trade friction with the Long Nation in recent years, or the Stick Nation, which plagiarized cultures,

Lin Yi held no favorable impression of any of them.

Moreover, since these people were willing to help the Ugly Nation form some sort of coalition army, Lin Yi did not mind letting them understand

what constituted an adult's game, which children should not participate in.

"A hiring fee of 100 million US dollars, and the DWS Platform can help you completely annihilate this coalition force!"

With the DWS Platform's reply, Xuzheng Prefecture was overjoyed.

That Xuzheng Prefecture General also wore a look of delight, for this outcome was exactly as he had anticipated:

the DWS Platform possessed not only a formidable air force but also a powerful army.

As for whether this army was truly formidable,

one could guess merely by observing how their air force had slaughtered enemies in all directions.

Although a hiring fee of 100 million US dollars seemed somewhat expensive,

as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

If they could truly annihilate the armies of John Bull, the Kangaroo Nation, and the Stick Nation,

then that 100 million US dollars would be well worth it.

With almost no hesitation, as if fearing the DWS Platform might change its mind,

the Xuzheng Prefecture side immediately transferred 100 million US dollars directly from the platform's revenue share.

It could be said that this money was entirely profit generated by Xuzheng Prefecture's live broadcasts.

Although the platform adopted a 50-50 split, meaning he himself had earned 100 million US dollars,

Lin Yi was still very envious that Xuzheng Prefecture had earned 100 million US dollars in just a few days; thus, after some thought, to maximize profits,

he decided to conduct a global live broadcast of this operation to annihilate the coalition force led primarily by John Bull (damn it).

To speak of how much the world hated these nations that aided tyranny, there was no shortage of such sentiment.

Of course, before that, Lin Yi needed to arrange a reasonable composition for the dispatched troops.

After all, hiring one thousand people equated to the strength of a battalion.

However, he would not be foolish enough to equip an entire armored battalion.

Doing so would make it impossible to reasonably configure those one thousand personnel.

First, to ensure this debut of the temporary mercenary force was perfect, it had to be shocking.

Twenty J-20 fighters, at 5 million US dollars each, totaling 100 million US dollars.

One hundred M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams tanks, at 400,000 US dollars each, totaling 80 million US dollars.

Fifty Apache helicopters.

One hundred M109A6 "Paladin" 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzers.

The remaining 380 personnel would conduct infantry cooperative operations.

This configuration was simply luxurious to the extreme; for a troop size of one thousand soldiers,

it was estimated that throughout the entire military history of the world, there would be few capable of rivaling it.

For this, Lin Yi had directly spent 220 million creation points.

The mercenary fees in Xuzheng Prefecture were simply insufficient; fortunately, this equipment was not single-use, and as long as it was not destroyed, it could return to the system.

It could be reused next time.

Otherwise, he truly would not have wanted to accept this mission.

Of course, at this moment, he also wanted to see exactly how soldiers equipped with such luxurious gear would perform on the battlefield.
