Chapter 278

Although the DWS Platform initiated the war, the Korean Peninsula nation regarded it and the Dragon Nation as a single entity.

Otherwise, why would the DWS Platform go to such great lengths over the lives of a few fishermen?

For the people of the Korean Peninsula nation, submitting to the strong is no disgrace.

In the past, when the Japanese arrived, they submitted to the Japanese; later, when the Americans arrived, they acknowledged the Americans as their father.

Now that the people of the Dragon Nation are so powerful, they naturally chose to submit as well.

In any case, for the Korean Peninsula nation, this has already become a habit.

Whether submitting to the Americans or the Dragon Nation, submission is still submission; it makes no difference.

Simply put, after merely this brief war,

the Korean Peninsula nation cowardly submitted.

Even Lin Yi had not expected this.

Chapter 208: The Sixth Great Rogue tacitly accepted by all nations!

After concluding the war with the Korean Peninsula nation that lasted over two hours,

and after the F-35 carrier-based aircraft returned to the aircraft carriers, the five carrier battle groups vanished.

They left nothing behind on the vast ocean.

Meanwhile, surveillance satellites from the Americans and other nations were jammed throughout the entire process.

By the time the signals recovered, more than an hour had passed,

so naturally, they discovered nothing.

Regarding this, even the Americans had grown accustomed to it.

Despite employing every means at their disposal, they remained unable to detect the elusive movements of the DWS Platform.

After recalling his fleet and the hired soldiers,

Lin Yi felt extremely delighted in his heart.

Looking at the 35.8 billion USD in his overseas account,

he not only suffered no losses this time but, thanks to the 10 billion USD in compensation from the Korean Peninsula nation,

actually earned 6 billion USD.

Adding the 6.4 billion USD from the auction of the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier,

his wealth had increased by over 12 billion USD in one go.

If Lin Yi could bring this money back to the domestic market, he would likely become the wealthiest person immediately.

Unfortunately, that was impossible in the short term.

Speaking of which, the reason Lin Yi made such a massive move this time

was to deter the various nations and elevate the status of the DWS Platform.

In the past, many nations viewed the DWS Platform merely as a weapons platform.

While this was not entirely wrong, Lin Yi hoped that the DWS Platform he built with his own hands would be more than just a military arms trading platform.

He wanted it to become a force capable of influencing global politics.

In the future, it would become a power without territory yet able to challenge the Five Great Rogues.

To achieve this, he spared no expense to stage this performance.

Using the Korean Peninsula nation as a stepping stone, he shocked every nation on the globe,

especially the Americans and other Western countries; do you think they still regard the DWS Platform as an ordinary military arms trading platform now?

On the contrary, these nations, including the Americans, now view the DWS Platform as an entity equal to, or even surpassing, themselves.

Originally, this world was played by five rogues; now, there might be one more.

Moreover, this new entity possesses no inch of territory yet has the strength to confront any one of the Five Great Rogues head-on.

If a real fight broke out, unless nuclear weapons were used, none of these rogues would dare claim they could definitely win.

However, what they do not yet know is that if Lin Yi wished, every nuclear missile on Earth would instantly become a pile of useless iron cans.

Indeed, through this war, Lin Yi secured a respectable position for the DWS Platform.

It is not merely among the Five Great Rogues; it rivals the Five Great Rogues.

At this moment, the American military-industrial complexes fell completely silent.

Although they did not know how the DWS Platform produced such advanced equipment,

they knew that relying solely on themselves, they were no match for their opponent.

If they could not be enemies, then they could only turn enemies into friends.

Otherwise, continuing in this manner would cause the world to descend into total chaos.

The Dragon Nation would not be able to remain entirely untouched either.

Of course, to achieve this, the most important thing was to find a way to reach an agreement with the other party.

Then would come the bargaining, offering benefits attractive enough to the other side.

In this way, secretly lining up to share the spoils was far better than fighting to the death.

Additionally, based on the DWS Platform's recent actions,

those military-industrial complexes roughly understood that the DWS Platform was likely not a force secretly supported by the Dragon Nation.

After all, the Dragon Nation government would never be capable of annihilating the John Bull Navy or dispatching five carrier battle groups into combat.

If the Dragon Nation possessed such power secretly, they would have revealed it long ago.

However, one thing could be confirmed.

But one thing is certain.

That meant the DWS Platform definitely had some connection with Dragon Nation, perhaps even hidden within it.

The reason countries like Ugly Nation kept protesting against Dragon Nation

was to make the DWS Platform show some restraint.

Indeed! We can do nothing to you, but Dragon Nation cannot escape.

Of course, starting a war with a great power like Dragon Nation was impossible.

But Ugly Nation needed to demonstrate its stance.

It hoped to prevent the DWS Platform from acting like an African honey badger, attacking whoever it encountered.

However, it seemed the effect was not very obvious.

Nevertheless, to bring this African honey badger into the fold of global rules,

Ugly Nation would continue its efforts.

The brief battle lasting just over two hours was reported by countless media outlets worldwide.

Rod Nation was utterly crushed; its navy was nearly completely sunk.

More than half of its aircraft were lost, its air defense systems paralyzed, and the compounds of various government agencies destroyed.

Furthermore, Ugly Nation's bases in Rod Nation would basically need to be rebuilt.

In response, North Rod immediately issued a statement,

describing the DWS Platform as a close comrade-in-arms.

Even the Fatty of North Rod invited the person in charge of the DWS Platform to visit the North Rod capital,

promising a warm reception.

To this, the DWS Platform gave no reply.

Yet many nations felt that the DWS Platform would soon step onto the front stage.

After all, relying on Rod Nation, the DWS Platform had already made the entire world wary.

Even stepping into the spotlight seemed to matter little now!

In fact, Lin Yi also harbored such thoughts,

especially after unlocking certain mercenary functions,

allowing a figure on the surface to participate in various events on his behalf, securing more benefits for the DWS Platform.

Previously, he had felt the timing was not right, but after this incident,

the emergence of a representative for the DWS Platform seemed possible.

Of course, there was no rush.

"Ding... Congratulations, Host, on achieving a hidden accomplishment!"
