Chapter 251

This South American nation—Argentina—began brewing a plan.

That plan was to launch another challenge against John Bull.

They intended to retake the occupied Falkland Islands.

In fact, ever since DWS wiped out John Bull's navy,

Argentina had already started plotting a new Falklands War.

Indeed! The previous Falklands War ended in a crushing defeat for Argentina,

with John Bull regaining control of the islands; yet Argentina never abandoned its sovereignty claim over them, neither in the past nor now.

Upon witnessing the DWS platform sweep away John Bull's entire navy with overwhelming force,

including that prideful aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth,

the current President of Argentina burst into laughter within his office.

He mocked John Bull for overreaching, scoffing at their decision to dispatch an aircraft carrier to the Red Sea,

noting that the carrier was blown up and sunk right in its base before it could even set sail.

His subsequent reaction was the realization that the opportunity had arrived.

Yes! Was a John Bull without a navy still the empire on which the sun never set?

Even the Iron Lady, who had won the Falklands War 2.5, had passed away in 2013.

Was this not telling the Argentine government that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lay right before them?

John Bull was now at its weakest point in over a century; even during World War II, it had not been so feeble.

At least back then, John Bull's vast navy still existed.

But now? It possessed no navy at all, left with only some antiquated vessels old enough to be grandmothers.

Under such circumstances, could one say the Argentine government was not tempted?

Consequently, the Argentine government quickly procured eight hundred million dollars worth of weapons from the DWS platform.

This occurred in early June, just as John Bull's navy turned to ash.

While all of John Bull trembled in unrest, its people busy mourning the fallen naval soldiers and protests erupting everywhere,

the Argentine government issued a sharply worded statement to the world.

The statement declared that the Argentine government reaffirmed its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

Naturally, this statement caused an uproar across the globe.

At such a time, was the Argentine government's action not kicking someone while they were down?

Exactly! In reality, the Argentine government was simply kicking someone while they were down.

But now, what can you, John Bull, possibly do?

It could be said that the Argentine government had chosen the perfect moment to reclaim the islands.

At this time, the current Prime Minister of John Bull was facing impeachment by Parliament.

He had already prepared to resign and step down from office.

However, once Argentina declared sovereignty over the Madao Islands,

he could only temporarily remain in his position.

Naturally, John Bull firmly rejected the demands of the Argentine government.

They stated that if the Argentine government did not withdraw its declaration,

the John Bull government would bring another "Madao War" upon them.

However, the Argentine government quickly replied:

"Bring it on; I'm waiting for you...!"

In response, John Bull felt utterly bitter.

They currently lacked the capability to travel all the way to the distant Malvinas Islands

to wage a war against the Argentine government.

Relying merely on the few pitiful ships remaining in their navy,

those vessels would likely be destroyed by the Argentine navy before even arriving.

With no other choice, John Bull shamelessly began begging Huaerjie for help.

Based on the previous incident where Huaerjie had not dispatched air force support from their bases, and because they did not wish to see an ally become too weak,

Huaerjie immediately issued a statement, hoping both nations could maintain peace, as Huaerjie did not want the two countries to go to war.

Otherwise, this would constitute a provocation against Huaerjie.

Upon hearing this statement, the Argentine government immediately felt a headache.

Although the Argentine government at this time could ignore John Bull's military strength,

they still dared not provoke the sharp edge of Huaerjie.

After all, since World War II, Huaerjie had been the leader of the Western world and one of the two global poles.

Following the dissolution of Sulian, it became even more the world's policeman, attacking anyone who displeased them.

Yugoslavia, Afuhan, Yilake, Aid Aid Xuliya—which of these countries lacked the shadow of Huaerjie?

Regardless of how great Huaerjie's losses were in the end, they basically always won.

But until they encountered the DWS Platform, Huaerjie seemed to have hit a streak of bad luck.

Not only were their fighter jets slaughtered, but their aircraft carriers were sunk as well.

Even so, Huaerjie was absolutely not an entity that Argentina could afford to provoke.

However, Argentina was unwilling to let matters rest just like that.

Thus, the Argentine government sought help from the DWS Platform, spending one hundred million dollars.

Eventually, the DWS Platform also issued a statement.

"This matter is a historical issue left over between Argentina and John Bull.

We ask certain extraterritorial nations not to interfere recklessly; if you insist on interfering, the DWS Platform will accompany you anytime, anywhere!"

Such domineering words made Longguo and people around the world who resisted Huaerjie cheer loudly!

This statement could directly be said to be slapping Huaerjie across the face.

Furthermore, the DWS Platform produced a CG video,

depicting the White House and the Statue of Liberty being blown up.

This video utterly enraged President Xiao Ao of the White House.

He summoned officials from the Wujiao Building, asking them if it was possible to destroy the Statue of Liberty and the White House.

As a result, the Wujiao Building officials dared not guarantee anything.

Or rather, they could not ensure whether the J-20 could penetrate Huaerjie's radar network.

Because until now, they had not obtained specific data on the J-20.

Longguo could be said to protect such cutting-edge weapons with extreme secrecy.

Even their own people found it difficult to obtain corresponding information.

"Uncertain... Your Excellency, Mr. President!" said the official from the Wujiao Building.

Hearing this, President Xiao Ao wore an expression of a severe headache, but he truly dared not gamble.

If it were the Longguo government, even if they possessed such capability, they would not dare to act this way.

After all, Longguo would also find it difficult to endure Huaerjie's retaliation.

However, regarding those madmen of the DWS Platform, Huaerjie simply had no means to retaliate.

After all, you do not even know where they are located.

Although many intelligence personnel had already entered Longguo, attempting to find clues of this organization,

or to uncover their relationship with Longguo,

even the world's top five intelligence agencies had failed on this issue.

After investigating for so long, they had surprisingly found not a single clue.

Even Yiselie's Mosad had used every available method,

yet if they could not find it, they simply could not find it.
