do you think they still regard the DWS Platform as an ordinary military arms trading platform now?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the contrary, these nations, including the Americans, now view the DWS Platform as an entity equal to, or even surpassing, themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Originally, this world was played by five rogues; now, there might be one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, this new entity possesses no inch of territory yet has the strength to confront any one of the Five Great Rogues head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If a real fight broke out, unless nuclear weapons were used, none of these rogues would dare claim they could definitely win.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Indeed, through this war, Lin Yi secured a respectable position for the DWS Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is not merely among the Five Great Rogues; it rivals the Five Great Rogues.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the American military-industrial complexes fell completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although they did not know how the DWS Platform produced such advanced equipment,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>they knew that relying solely on themselves, they were no match for their opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If they could not be enemies, then they could only turn enemies into friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, continuing in this manner would cause the world to descend into total chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Dragon Nation would not be able to remain entirely untouched either.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, to achieve this, the most important thing was to find a way to reach an agreement with the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then would come the bargaining, offering benefits attractive enough to the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In this way, secretly lining up to share the spoils was far better than fighting to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Additionally, based on the DWS Platform's recent actions,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>those military-industrial complexes roughly understood that the DWS Platform was likely not a force secretly supported by the Dragon Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, the Dragon Nation government would never be capable of annihilating the John Bull Navy or dispatching five carrier battle groups into combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If the Dragon Nation possessed such power secretly, they would have revealed it long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, one thing could be confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But one thing is certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That meant the DWS Platform definitely had some connection with Dragon Nation, perhaps even hidden within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason countries like Ugly Nation kept protesting against Dragon Nation\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>was to make the DWS Platform show some restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Indeed! We can do nothing to you, but Dragon Nation cannot escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, starting a war with a great power like Dragon Nation was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Ugly Nation needed to demonstrate its stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It hoped to prevent the DWS Platform from acting like an African honey badger, attacking whoever it encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, it seemed the effect was not very obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nevertheless, to bring this African honey badger into the fold of global rules,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ugly Nation would continue its efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The brief battle lasting just over two hours was reported by countless media outlets worldwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rod Nation was utterly crushed; its navy was nearly completely sunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>More than half of its aircraft were lost, its air defense systems paralyzed, and the compounds of various government agencies destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, Ugly Nation's bases in Rod Nation would basically need to be rebuilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In response, North Rod immediately issued a statement,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>describing the DWS Platform as a close comrade-in-arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even the Fatty of North Rod invited the person in charge of the DWS Platform to visit the North Rod capital,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>promising a warm reception.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To this, the DWS Platform gave no reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet many nations felt that the DWS Platform would soon step onto the front stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, relying on Rod Nation, the DWS Platform had already made the entire world wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even stepping into the spotlight seemed to matter little now!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, Lin Yi also harbored such thoughts,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>especially after unlocking certain mercenary functions,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>allowing a figure on the surface to participate in various events on his behalf, securing more benefits for the DWS Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Previously, he had felt the timing was not right, but after this incident,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>the emergence of a representative for the DWS Platform seemed possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, there was no rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ding...
