Chapter 233

With the world so vast, where could he not go?

Even with only a thousand mercenaries, relying on these weapons, he could easily conquer a nation.

Of course, this was merely the worst-case scenario.

Given Lin Yi's cautious nature, with the system's aid, he would patch up even the slightest flaw.

Naturally, there would be no possibility of exposure whatsoever.

At this moment, Britain still knew nothing.

Or perhaps it was still immersed in the final glory of the empire on which the sun never sets.

The British Prime Minister was currently prideful over having convinced Parliament to deploy additional troops to Syria.

Although the defeat of those 5,000 troops on the Syrian battlefield

had subjected him to severe criticism and caused his approval ratings to plummet,

if the British military could wipe away this previous shame this time,

then all of this would be worth it.

Gazing out the window of 10 Downing Street, he saw that light rain was still falling over London.

The entire sky was a dull, gray haze.

Pedestrians on the streets hurried past.

"The aircraft carrier should be leaving port about now!"

the Prime Minister murmured.

Yet for some reason, he felt uneasy today, a deep oppression weighing on his heart.

However, high above in the skies unknown to him, a dense formation of aircraft was speeding rapidly toward Britain.

Just then, the Prime Minister's secretary suddenly rushed in holding a mobile phone.

"What is the matter? Why such panic? You should understand that a true British gentleman,

no matter what he encounters, must remain calm; only then can you fully mobilize your brain, Mr. Lawrence!"

the Prime Minister said, sipping his top-grade black tea.

However, the secretary panted as he spoke:

"D... the DWS platform is broadcasting live! Only one minute remains... Target: Portsmouth Naval Base!"

"Pfft... What?!"

The Prime Minister immediately spat out his tea, his eyes widening in shock.

At this moment, he cared nothing for gentlemanly etiquette; without even wiping the tea stains from his face,

he frantically snatched the phone from his secretary and began watching.

Sure enough, on the DWS app, an official live stream had appeared.

Displayed in red English letters,

was a countdown of 36 seconds, along with a label indicating the current target:

"Portsmouth Naval Base!"

Seeing this name, the Prime Minister's eyes bulged, his face revealing an expression of disbelief.

"How dare they... How dare they...."

the Prime Minister murmured frantically.

Then, grabbing his secretary by the collar, he screamed somewhat hysterically:

"Immediately notify Portsmouth Naval Base to prepare defenses!"

"Your Excellency, it's too late!" the secretary said helplessly, glancing at the phone.

In just this short time, the countdown had already dropped to 15 seconds.

Even if he called the base immediately, for the base to relay the order and organize a defense

would take at least three minutes.

But would those ruthless villains on the DWS platform give Britain three minutes to prepare?

In fact, at this very moment, President Xiao Ao of the White House had also learned of the situation.

After all, although the DWS platform had only conducted one official live broadcast,

its influence was terrifyingly vast.

For this reason, President Xiao Ao had specifically installed an oversized television in the Oval Office capable of screen-mirroring from a mobile phone.

This was surely better than staring at a small phone screen.

Especially since Apple phones often ran out of battery.

President Xiao Ao felt that Kuke, the CEO of Apple, should learn from Dragon Country manufacturers

and install Dragon Country's fast-charging lithium batteries.

That way, he wouldn't be troubled by power shortages while watching videos.

President Xiao Ao watched the live stream projected onto the 60-inch large television; the picture quality was extremely clear,

looking far better than previous mobile phone displays.

Of course, what President Xiao Ao cared about even more at this moment was the content of the broadcast.

Their Ugly Country ally was now facing imminent attack.

Yet given the proximity of the deadline, even if President Xiao Ao issued orders immediately, it would be difficult to assist Britain.

Although Ugly Country still stationed the headquarters of its Third Air Force at the Mildenhall Base in Britain,

that command center was equipped only with older-model fighter jets.

President Xiao Ao had already decided: if the incoming enemy fighters were not powerful, Ugly Country would naturally dispatch aircraft to aid its ally.

But if the enemy's combat strength was too great,

sending forces would merely be delivering their heads to the opponent.

In that case, Ugly Country would not send troops.

After all, he was the President of Ugly Country, not the British Prime Minister;

naturally, he had to care more about the lives of Ugly Country's young men.

However, as the live stream countdown neared its end.

A staggering thirty million viewers worldwide suddenly logged on simultaneously.

And the numbers were still skyrocketing.

It was evident that the DWS Platform's official broadcast had become the most popular live stream globally.

At this moment, even the President of Xuzheng Prefecture and his Lady were watching the broadcast with excitement.

Although the broadcast targeted Britannia rather than the Ugly Nation, which left them slightly disappointed.

Yet, since Britannia acted as the Ugly Nation's most loyal dog, causing trouble for that dog would still bring joy.

The President of Xuzheng Prefecture was indeed very pleased.

Meanwhile, the Grand Leader of the Dragon Nation wore an expression of a splitting headache.

He felt this DWS Platform was simply too adept at stirring up trouble.

Last time, they had eliminated several thousand soldiers from the Britannian army.

To this day, the Britannian Ambassador to the Dragon Nation was still protesting, claiming the Dragon Nation supported the DWS Platform.

Even the Lianheguo Assembly had discussed this matter numerous times.

However, due to a lack of concrete evidence, all those discussions had come to nothing.

But the repercussions of the previous incident had not yet dissipated.

And now, the DWS Platform was directly targeting their naval port.

Although Britannia had declined, it remained one of the Five Great Ruffians nonetheless.

The situation behind the scenes was exceedingly complex.

Of course, if one set aside the issue of needing the Dragon Nation to take the blame, he actually quite admired the DWS Platform.

Daring to fight and kill, settling scores with swift satisfaction.

They had sent the Ugly Nation, Yiselie, and Britannia fleeing in utter panic.

They had accomplished many things the Dragon Nation wished to do but could not due to various constraints.
