Chapter 252
Regarding the DWS platform, apart from knowing its official name is "Dragon Nation Non-Official Flagship Store,"
it is known on the foreign internet as the Dragon Shop, Dragon.Weapon.Shop.
And aside from the fact that it can sell all kinds of weapons from every nation globally,
intelligence agencies of various countries can find absolutely no useful information.
What they do not realize is that, let alone them,
even the Dragon Nation Security Bureau, which holds the advantage of being on home turf, has no leads whatsoever.
Wang Luchuan, the head of the "Special Task Force on the DWS Platform" specially established by the Security Bureau, dreams day and night of capturing the mastermind behind the DWS platform.
Yet he is forced to admit a fact: when it comes to the ability to hide,
those people from the DWS platform are simply the best in the world.
After such a massive battle involving so many Dragon Nation soldiers, they still could not find a single clue.
Who would dare to believe this?
The investigation ordered from above has been stuck all along.
Fortunately, the higher-ups understand Wang Luchuan's difficulties, so they have not blamed him for this task.
However, the one currently suffering from a headache is President Xiao Ao of the Ugly Nation.
He is standing firm against the DWS platform for John Bull, this traditional ally.
The Statue of Liberty has collapsed, and the Little White House has been bombed.
The last shred of face the Ugly Nation had in the world is completely lost, and he himself will be nailed to the pillar of shame in Ugly Nation history.
President Xiao Ao cannot even imagine how terrifying that would be.
As for whether the DWS platform dares to do it, President Xiao Ao never doubts the madness of those lunatics who dared to sink the entire John Bull navy just because of a single sentence from John Bull's Minister of Defense.
To say they are lawless might even be underestimating them;
they are a group of villains who have no concept of consequences.
President Xiao Ao now dreams even in his sleep of scenes where soldiers dressed in Dragon Nation special forces uniforms kill their way into the Little White House.
This has once plunged him into terror and insomnia.
Of course, he has never revealed any of this to anyone, not even to his wife and children.
Because if it were reported that a Ugly Nation president actually fears that group of people,
he would likely gain another title on his head: "Weak."
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration,
President Xiao Ao has decided to sell out John Bull once again.
After all, when a fellow Daoist dies, it is better than oneself dying; whatever happens to John Bull is John Bull's own affair,
and the Ugly Nation does not intend to join this muddy water for now.
Of course, this is mainly because the Malvinas Islands are simply not worth such efforts on their part.
Does John Bull really expect the Ugly Nation to directly enter the fray and fight a war against Argentina just for their small island?
For matters with no profit, neither Huaerjie, nor the military, nor the government would be willing.
Thus, after the DWS platform issued its statement, the Ugly Nation, rarely, made no sound and chose silence.
But the whole world knows this means the Ugly Nation has chickened out.
If following the Ugly Nation's old ways, if anyone dared to do this, they would have long ago gathered some North Yue little friends to launch an attack against the other party.
Usually, economic sanctions come first, followed by military action.
The Ugly Nation can be said to be extremely adept at such things.
But now, not only has the Ugly Nation not issued any tough statements,
it has not even issued any sanction statements against Argentina.
Obviously, it has tacitly approved of Argentina's actions.
In an instant, the whole world is spreading the news: "The Ugly Nation is afraid!"
A weapon-selling platform has actually made the arrogant Ugly Nation bow its proud head.
The White-Headed Eagle, which always holds its head high, also has a day when it feels fear.
Regarding this, someone asked the spokesperson of the Little White House
whether the Ugly Nation government is afraid of the other party.
But the spokesperson merely said that this is an internal affair between Argentina and John Bull, and the Ugly Nation simply does not wish to interfere.
Although the spokesperson never mentioned anything about fear from start to finish,
the reporters present all understood the situation.
In fact, even Lin Yi did not expect the Ugly Nation to be such a coward.
To tell the truth, he really did want to take down the Statue of Liberty.
If one day he could occupy Nuyue in the Ugly Nation,
he would definitely erect a statue of Guan Gong there, making those Ugly Nation people worship it every day,
to demonstrate the military might of the Dragon Nation.
Of course, this is merely Lin Yi's fantasy; relying on his 1,000 mercenaries who can only exist for seven days each time,
even if he managed to conquer Nuyue, he would likely lack the strength to occupy it.
Unless one day these mercenaries of his could exist permanently, and he were given a troop quota of over 100,000,
only then would it be possible.
However, this is definitely impossible for now.
However, it is certainly impossible for now.

After the United States fell silent, John Bull could be said to be thoroughly disappointed.
Although the John Bull side also understood that if roles were reversed and they faced this situation,
they would not offer help either.
But understanding is one thing; accepting reality is another, and this was hard for them to swallow.
In response, John Bull's Foreign Minister could only say tactfully,
"What a pity!"
At this moment, however, Argentina laughed.
They never expected that the United States would be so intimidated by a single statement from the DWS platform that it backed down.
Like a turtle, it had withdrawn its head back into its shell.
Now, wasn't John Bull just like a young bride stripped bare, ready to be ravaged however they pleased?
Thus, the Falklands War began.
In early June, the Argentine Navy launched an expedition to the Malvinas Islands.
Without any support, the several hundred John Bull defenders on the Malvinas Islands fired merely two symbolic shots before surrendering.
In truth, there was simply no other way.
After all, the Malvinas Islands are a remote and desolate archipelago, covering a total area of over 15,000 square kilometers.
East Falkland is the largest island among them, with a total population of only 2,000, most of whom are descendants of John Bull.
Therefore, it was impossible for many John Bull troops to be stationed on the islands.
In fact, John Bull also knew
that since the Malvinas Islands lie so close to Argentina, if the latter wished to seize them, the John Bull forces on the islands could never stop them.
Hence, stationing any number of troops there was meaningless.
As long as John Bull remained powerful, even without any garrison on the islands, Argentina would never dare to act rashly.
Unfortunately, things did not go as hoped.
By this time, the John Bull Navy had been completely annihilated.
To fully recover would take more than a decade, given John Bull's current national strength.
Under such circumstances, how could Argentina let this opportunity slip away?
Soon, they controlled the entire Malvinas Islands and captured those John Bull soldiers.
Regarding this, John Bull was utterly helpless.
