Chapter 274

At this very moment, the official live broadcast of the DWS platform, anticipated by countless people worldwide, had already begun.

Of course, while everyone was shocked by the immense scale of the DWS fleet,

they noticed a ship that seemed completely out of place, slowly moving against the current within the formation of the fleet.

Moreover, it was flying the flag of the Ugly Country.

Soon, someone recognized it as an "Arleigh Burke"-class destroyer from the Ugly Country.

However, what were the crew members of that ship doing?

Why were they clapping with such beaming smiles?

Many people even felt that the faces of numerous individuals were glowing with innocence

as they clapped frantically.

"Oh God! What are these people doing? Why are they applauding the DWS platform's fleet, and why are they smiling so..."

Inside the White House, President Xiao Ao, who had just been watching the live broadcast, looked at all this in confusion.

He could not even describe that smile.

Yet, no one explained this strange phenomenon to him.

In reality, out there on the sea, upon seeing the terrifying hull of the aircraft carrier,

their "Arleigh Burke"-class destroyer was nothing but a tiny speck in front of the Ford-class carrier.

If the carrier shifted even slightly, the "Arleigh Burke"-class destroyer would likely suffer catastrophic damage.

In fact, without the captain needing to say a word, those soldiers involuntarily began clapping frantically and smiling with faces full of terror,

fearing that their lives would end right there.

Chapter 205: The Fleeing Ugly Army! The Regretful Koreans!

At this moment, Tongdao Cong of Little Japan watched the live broadcast with great excitement.

Such a massive fleet from the Dragon Country's DWS platform even forced the once-arrogant soldiers of the Ugly Country to greet them with smiling faces and applause.

To be honest, he had admired Dragon Country's culture since childhood.

Especially the prosperous era of the Great Tang Dynasty.

Although the Dragon Country had suffered many hardships in modern times,

as a person from Little Japan, he had always believed that the Dragon Country would inevitably, just as in the past,

rise proudly to the pinnacle of the world once again.

If one had to put it plainly, he was a thoroughgoing Dragon-worshipper.

He believed that everything in Little Japan should align with the Dragon Country, rather than following the decadent cultures of the West.

Seeing today such a colossal fleet from the DWS platform that even forced the Ugly Country's soldiers to bow down

only reinforced his conviction.

The Dragon Country had completely risen,

while domestic chaos and constant overseas conflicts meant that Western nations like the Ugly Country were rapidly declining.

Sooner or later, a new leader of the world would emerge.

If Little Japan did not follow such a leader, the nation of Little Japan would face complete decline in the future.

For this reason, Tongdao Cong had been deeply worried.

Yet, the current government of Little Japan continued to walk the same dark path alongside the Ugly Country.

This made him realize that the opportunity for a peaceful resolution to Little Japan's issues was now slim.

"Perhaps the time for a Color Revolution has arrived!"

However, while other countries saw the naval strength of the DWS platform

forcing the Ugly Army to bow,

the Korean nation, as the party directly involved, was terrified out of their wits.

What was such a massive fleet doing here?

Given the DWS platform's insane temperament, one didn't need to think twice to know what was happening.

It could be said that Korea was now on high alert.

Only now did many Korean citizens, watching on their phones, realize the gravity of situation 467.

They thought, wasn't it just killing a few fishermen?

The Korean Coast Guard had done similar things during law enforcement operations before, although those operations were somewhat violent.

Especially when the victims were Dragon Country fishermen, it was even more so.

But at worst, we could just pay more compensation, right?

Was there any need for such madness? Seum-ni-da!

Thus, the Korean government immediately notified the numerous Ugly military bases stationed in Korea.

However, faced with this situation, the Ugly military bases had no solution.

Yes, the scale of the Ugly military presence in Korea was quite large.

In terms of the army alone, the Ugly Eighth Army consisted of about 19,000 personnel.

The navy included the Seventh Fleet and other U.S. naval personnel stationed in Korea, totaling nearly 300 people.

The air force comprised about 8,800 personnel from the Ugly Seventh Air Force.

Additionally, there were over two hundred Marines.

Beyond this, among the army units of the Ugly forces stationed in Korea, there was a particularly notable unit:

the Ugly Army's 2nd Infantry Division, known as the "Indian Head."

This division is primarily stationed in an area approximately 40 miles northeast of Hanseong, the capital of Bangzi Country, and throughout the entire Western Pacific region,

it is the only mechanized infantry division of Chou Country.

The division comprises three brigades; the First Brigade is stationed at Fort Lewis in Huashengton State, Chou Country,

while the other two brigades are permanently stationed in Bangzi Country, serving as the main force of the Chou military there.

Furthermore, Bangzi Country's own military strength cannot be underestimated, with a total troop strength reaching 680,000, ranking sixth globally.

Among these, the army possesses approximately 560,000 personnel, the navy about 67,000, and the air force roughly 53,000.

Beyond its massive personnel scale, the Bangzi military also draws significant attention regarding its equipment.

The army is equipped with over 2,300 tanks of various types, including approximately 1,000 K1 main battle tanks and about 600 K2 main battle tanks, along with more than 2,600 assorted armored vehicles.

In addition, the navy of Bangzi Country possesses advanced vessels such as the 10,000-ton class destroyer Sejong the Great.

Meanwhile, the air force is outfitted with hundreds of fighter jets, including F-15s and F-16s.

Yet, these forces have not afforded Bangzi Country even the slightest sense of security.

After all, even with such a powerful army, they cannot deploy land forces onto the sea,

and although Bangzi Country's navy appears substantial, the only assets truly worthy of mention are three received "Aegis" missile destroyers—the KDX-3 Sejong the Great class.

The KDX-3 class destroyer has a length of 166 meters, a beam of 21 meters, and a displacement of 7,600 tons; it can carry two medium-sized helicopters and sustain a maximum speed of 30 knots for 1,000 kilometers.

The SPY-1D radar equipped on this vessel can simultaneously track 1,000 aerial targets within a range of 500 kilometers.

Both the FFX class frigate and the KDX-1 Gwanggaeto the Great class are extremely obsolete,

making it utterly impossible for them to challenge the Ford-class aircraft carriers or the Type 055B destroyers.

In particular, the carrier-based aircraft equipped on these Ford-class carriers

actually number in the hundreds of F-35C stealth fighters.

It must be noted that Bangzi Country has always desperately craved F-35 fighters,

but Chou Country has not even fully equipped itself yet; furthermore, even once fully equipped, the priority sequence goes to nations like Yiselie and John Niu.

As for Bangzi, it ranks very low in Chou Country's equipment supply sequence.

Moreover, even if supplied, it would only be the monkey-version land-based F-35A.

Dream on if you want the carrier-based version, the F-35C.

The F-35C can be described as an enlarged version of the land-based F-35A, designed to rival Long Country's J-20.

Given that Bangzi Country's air force currently consists of hundreds of F-15s and F-16s, attempting to engage in cluster combat against F-35Cs

would likely result in being riddled with holes before even catching a glimpse of the enemy.

"What should we do?" The government and populace of Bangzi Country were terrified.

For them, war was imminent.
