although relative to the Ugly Army,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Syria actually suffered greater losses, without the Ugly Army deploying large-scale air forces,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this advantage could not break the stalemate of the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the ground offensive troops suffered successive defeats and heavy casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that Ugly Country, this world's number one power, felt extremely frustrated being beaten in Syria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the exorbitant military expenses were more than the Ugly Army could bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the Syrian war, not to mention the losses of tanks and various weapons,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even for mere survival in Syria, the Ugly Army needed to airlift drinking water from Old Saudi Country across hundreds of kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the water on the Syrian side was completely unusable, with poisoning incidents occurring frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Ugly Army's monthly military expenditure was an astronomical figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the number of Syrian soldier deaths was far higher than that of the Ugly Army, but one hundred Syrian soldiers could not compare to one Ugly Army soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the reality that Syria was using various suicide drones with extreme skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as any Ugly Army personnel showed themselves, many bomb-carrying drones would fly in from distant locations,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>crashing directly into them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, the weapons and personnel lost by the Ugly Army were countless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even during the stalemate phase, both the Ugly Army and the Syrian Army engaged in various grand displays of drone warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fighting for a full half-year, the Ugly Army went from being full of confidence at the start,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to now being deeply bogged down in the Syrian battlefield; the entire Ugly Army could be said to have experienced another Vietnam War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With high military expenses and excessive casualties, the people of Ugly Country had gradually grown weary of this war, shifting from their initial frenzy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and many within the country already wanted to end this war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the people of Ugly Country initially supported this war precisely because they were carried away by the sinking of the aircraft carrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their view, wasn't defeating Syria an easy task?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the current state of the war slapped the faces of all Ugly Country's citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was another Vietnam War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vietnam War was absolutely a nightmare for Ugly Country,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>where the death toll and military financial losses nearly caused Ugly Country to collapse completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they achieved no military results whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that the Vietnam War was a nightmare that an entire generation of Ugly Country people did not want to mention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Syria had similarly turned into a war of attrition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just half a year, Ugly Country's losses in all aspects totaled over 300 billion dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the results were meager; at most, they had occupied a few cities in Syria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, as long as the Ugly Nation failed to capture the Syrian capital, Damascus, in a single day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the battle would not end in a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, Ugly Nation casualties had already reached nearly 20,000, not counting weapons losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the current rate of consumption, the Ugly Nation would spend hundreds of billions of dollars on the Syrian war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the reason the Ugly Nation was so passive in this Syrian war\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was entirely the fault of the DWS Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing the DWS Platform's massive air force, the Ugly Nation's navy did not dare to let its aircraft carriers linger in the Red Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dreaded that Syria might hire the platform to unleash a rain of anti-ship missiles upon them; a saturation strike would leave the Ugly Nation's three carrier fleets forever in the Red Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Ugly Nation never dared to deploy large-scale air forces to expand their gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were also afraid of being ambushed by the DWS Platform's air force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, throughout Syria, the Ugly Nation fought timidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They completely failed to unleash their original combat effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, the Syrian side persisted in a war of attrition, pitting their cheap weapons against the opponent's expensive ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They achieved significant results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that the Syrian army had gained confidence against the Ugly Nation and established their own mode of warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, facing the Ugly Nation's insults toward the Dragon Nation, Syria feared the Ugly Nation not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this, the Ugly Nation could only endure it, utterly helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time reached early morning, Long Yi, the AI auctioneer of the DWS Platform, appeared on schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going straight to the point, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, nations, to this auction. Today's item is the B2 bomber, representing the Ugly Nation's most cutting-edge technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever can dismantle this aircraft will gain insight into the Ugly Nation's most advanced military-industrial technology and improve their own technical level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what are you waiting for?
