survive the initial strike would be immediately shot in the head by the 380 mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The marksmanship of these mercenaries was ferocious, their approach to killing utterly cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not resemble humans at all, but rather devils from hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that to them, killing these people was no different from crushing a stinking bug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this, ultimately, was that these soldiers were controlled by AI during combat, possessing not a shred of human emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their orders were simply to eliminate every enemy before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that unless the enemy dropped their weapons and knelt to beg for mercy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these soldiers would not harbor the slightest trace of pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they also felt no fear whatsoever,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for in the end, these mercenaries were disposable assets priced at ten thousand dollars each, with a lifespan of only seven days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, such cheap lives held no attachment to their own existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did they possess any capacity for fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing visible in their eyes was cold indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a British soldier saw this group of warriors slaughtering ceaselessly like devils,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he fainted directly from terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet these tanks, helicopters, and soldiers did not care whether you were British, Australian, or Korean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But watching their own countrymen being mercilessly slaughtered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the peoples of these nations, viewing the live broadcast, were filled with horror and rage one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost without any organization, a massive crowd gathered outside 10 Downing Street in Britain to protest the government sending soldiers to Syria to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, these uninformed masses were clamoring to dispatch aircraft carriers to teach Longguo a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, the army currently massacring their soldiers was the regular army of Longguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the British Prime Minister felt great anger watching the video of the slaughter,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he still retained his reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He very much wanted to tell those citizens: Do you still think it is over a hundred years ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to the doorstep of Longguo to brandish weapons and show off strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Longguo was backward and suffered beatings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but now, the Prime Minister felt that if they casually sailed an aircraft carrier over, it would likely be sunk by their anti-ship missiles, the Yingji-18, before even reaching their doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To speak honestly, perhaps due to the various events that had occurred recently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he found that whenever he thought of Longguo now, his heart would tremble with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this nation had hidden its depth too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently and without fanfare, it had acquired such terrifying power that even the U.S. feared it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, what was most frightening was that this nation had completely abandoned its previous peaceful diplomatic policy of only protesting without taking any practical action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Longguo of now was truly capable of doing anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had laid out plans across the global weapons market, shattering the existing structure of the arms trade into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the U.S. military-industrial complex, which had once sat firmly on the throne of the world arms market, was now searching for a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that in every aspect, they could not possibly compare to the DWS platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Militarily, Longguo's Yingji-18 missiles, supplied indirectly to the Middle East, had sunk a U.S. aircraft carrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, they directly dispatched their newest stealth fighter, the Lin Lin Jian-20, to completely annihilate a U.S. aircraft formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Longguo acted like a war maniac,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>confronting Israel head-on and sending the once-dominant Israeli Air Force of the Middle East flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused Israel to suffer unprecedented decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus triggering the Sixth Middle East War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was not all; facing the U.S. pressing its troops upon Syria,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this time Longguo had actually dispatched such a powerful army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly carrying out a massacre of their British soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching those \"ruthless and evil\" Longguo soldiers on the video who knew only killing, even the British Prime Minister was deeply shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for dispatching an aircraft carrier to Longguo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a few months ago, he would certainly have dared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now? What if Longguo simply fired a single missile to inherit the carrier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on Britain's current military strength, would they still attempt a transoceanic expedition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that even if he did so, before the expeditionary soldiers even reached the Longguo coastline,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those soldiers would already be sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the ferocity of Longguo's military power made the British Prime Minister tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in Old Saudi, King Salman, who had just succeeded his deceased brother last year to take the throne,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after watching the slaughter unfold via the televised live broadcast,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>said to his son, Mohammed bin Salman:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the Eastern Dragon has fully awakened; the center of global power is silently shifting toward the East.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will pay a visit to Longguo in the near future...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am going to visit the Dragon Country soon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later known as the Demon Prince, Little Salman was deeply shocked by the footage he watched, witnessing the terrifying military might of Dragon Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, the British soldiers in Syria were already considered quite elite, far superior at least to the armies of Old Saudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets still benefited from the lingering glow of its former glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, even Old Saudi had once fallen within the British sphere of influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, these elite troops were now being ruthlessly slaughtered by the far fewer soldiers of Dragon Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This impact on Prince Little Salman was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that even the Ugly Army would find it difficult to defeat these British soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Dragon Country could accomplish it with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a hawk, Prince Little Salman greatly admired these Dragon Country warriors who showed no expression while killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of Arabs, only such people were true heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those soldiers who wet themselves in fear, fainted, or knelt to surrender were all cowards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in death, an Arab would perish together with his enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling his father's words just spoken,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Eastern Giant Dragon has fully awakened; the center of global power is silently shifting eastward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Prince Little Salman's eyes, possessing such a formidable army,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Country was naturally a nation deserving the respect of the entire Arab world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a powerful nation cannot be insulted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We must forge strong ties with this Eastern Giant Dragon; the decline of Ugly Country may be even faster than I imagined...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Little Salman was also aware of the current domestic situation within Ugly Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, he had initially found it impossible to believe that Ugly Country, which had dominated the world since World War II,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was now in a state of complete chaos domestically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various contradictions were being infinitely amplified due to the DWS weapons trading platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whites versus blacks, immigrants versus native-born citizens of Ugly Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These conflicts were rapidly eroding the strong foundations of Ugly Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, under such circumstances, Ugly Country was not thinking about how to solve its domestic problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it had rushed thousands of kilometers away to the Middle East and Syria to wage a major war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say this exposed the true nature of Ugly Country since its founding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War and aggression!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Ugly Country was a nation built by descendants of bandits who massacred the indigenous Native Americans to the last man and seized their lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, these people picked up the trappings of civilization, donned gentleman's hats, and believed they could disguise themselves as gentlemen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1281,"2026-06-16T04:15:31.334Z","2026-06-16T04:35:04.683Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","dd34f8b8d6fc9ed0bd38085a7f8ee6320c51d84930e9faea7f120fa085e85389","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-210","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-208",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-cover.jpg"]
