Chapter 76: Changes in the Nation's Attitude! Confirming the Bidding Nations!

At Wang Luchuan's words, everyone present, including the Grand Leader, nodded slightly in agreement.

"Then what do you believe is the true purpose of this Dragon Nation flagship store? Is it really just selling weapons?"

the Grand Leader asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Luchuan fell silent for a moment before carefully choosing his words:

"Regarding this question, Grand Leader and distinguished leaders, I can only offer my speculation!"

"Hmm, go ahead," the Grand Leader nodded.

"First, selling weapons is indeed correct; what DWS is doing now is dumping weapons worldwide at extremely low prices.

Their prices are so low that even our nation's military-industrial system would struggle to cover costs.

However, in my opinion, they must have their own profit margins; otherwise, this model could not be sustained."

Speaking thus, Wang Luchuan continued:

"However, this will trigger a series of consequences; future global social order will become extremely chaotic, not just in the Middle East,

but also within the homeland of the Ugly Nation and in Western countries like John Bull."

"Furthermore, although DWS is currently only selling outdated weapons with low technological content,

the auction event of the Ford-class aircraft carrier 01 reveals their strength in the technological realm.

In the future, DWS will undoubtedly produce even more advanced weapons.

The consequence of this, however, is touching the cake of the Ugly Nation's internal military-industrial complex; those people will absolutely not miss any opportunity to strike against DWS.

Finally, conflict on a global scale is inevitable.

And this conflict will no longer be between nations, but between the forces led by the Ugly Nation's military industry and an anti-Ugly Nation military coalition led by DWS.

Of course, all this presupposes that the DWS platform can remain hidden.

Once it is exposed, it will face devastating strikes."

Wang Luchuan then added:

"As for what benefit this brings to DWS, for an arms platform, the more chaotic the world becomes, the better it is for them!"

Hearing his words, the Grand Leader nodded slightly.

Soon, Wang Luchuan was asked to leave, after all, his rank was unsuitable for attending the subsequent military meeting.

However, he soon learned that the high command had decided to participate in the auction for this Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

After all, this was an opportunity to inspect the world's most advanced aircraft carrier.

If Dragon Nation could secure it, aside from the combat capabilities of what was originally the world's largest aircraft carrier,

even just for future domestically built carriers, this would be a learning opportunity.

Due to his performance today, Wang Luchuan was also appointed by the upper echelons as the liaison for communication with DWS.

Simultaneously, the national leadership changed its attitude toward this unofficial Dragon Nation flagship store.

It completely reversed the initial stance of calling for attacks and destruction upon discovering any trace of them.

Now, the unofficial Dragon Nation flagship store has been designated by the national high command as a key focus of attention, and they hope Wang Luchuan will convey goodwill to the other party in future communications.

Regarding this, Wang Luchuan, being an intelligence expert, felt both amused and helpless.

He sighed at the impermanence of worldly affairs.

However, he also understood the considerations of the high command.

If DWS had remained merely a platform selling outdated weapons, the nation might not have changed its stance.

But with the emergence of the Ford-class aircraft carrier auction,

the significance of this arms trafficking changed.

Clearly, the other party possessed immense military-industrial manufacturing capabilities, even with technology more advanced than Dragon Nation's own.

Therefore, the nation would naturally no longer treat this platform as an ordinary arms dealer.

Not to mention that the existence of DWS serves as a bridgehead uniting many oppressed nations to resist Western countries led by the Ugly Nation.

With Dragon Nation's economic and military development in recent years,

it has increasingly felt the pressure exerted by the Ugly Nation in various aspects.

Various blockades, sanctions, displays of military force, and so on;

in short, relying solely on Dragon Nation to confront Western countries led by the Ugly Nation is extremely strenuous.

Now, if DWS stands at the forefront, regardless of the specifics, it will undoubtedly ease the burden on Dragon Nation.

After all, the enemy of one's enemy is a friend, isn't it?

Not to mention that the existence of DWS is amplifying internal contradictions within nations around the world.

Dragon Nation's think tank has even analyzed that if DWS continues on this path,

even countries including the Ugly Nation could erupt into internal unrest or even civil war in the future.

Because within this nation,

internal contradictions regarding immigration, illegal border crossings, and racial issues are fundamentally unsolvable,

while federal states each have their own legal and cultural systems.

If anyone ignites even a small spark, it might cause this nation to erupt into a second Civil War.

Therefore, in view of this,

the nation would naturally not treat DWS as an ordinary arms dealer.

In the minds of the national leadership, the importance of DWS has suddenly increased by an immeasurable degree.

Thus, Lin Yi soon discovered that seventy million dollars in margin deposits had appeared in his account.

These came from the Ugly Nation, Mao Xiong, Dragon Nation, Ah San, Little Japan, Iran, and Saudi.

Because of this margin deposit, Lin Yi had already released an announcement on the dark web,

Bidding required real-name registration from each nation, so none of these countries remained hidden.

If it were the Ugly Country, Mao Xiong, the Dragon Country, or Ah San, Lin Yi could still understand.

Leaving the first three aside, Ah San had always aspired to become a major naval power.

They wanted to turn the Indian Ocean into Ah San's internal sea.

However, achieving this required a massive navy.

As for the aircraft carrier Vikrant, domestically built by Ah San, its design began back in 1999.

Construction commenced at the Cochin Shipyard in 2005, yet it was not officially launched until the year before last, 2013.

However, due to various reasons, subsequent construction and sea trials of the carrier were delayed multiple times.

To this day, it has still not been formally delivered to the navy.

The other vessel, the carrier Vikramaditya given freely by Mao Xiong, was originally purchased by Ah San as a bargain-bin find from Mao Xiong for just one US dollar.

Yet, this very carrier ended up costing Ah San a total of three billion US dollars.

What they received in return, however, was a carrier with low combat effectiveness that frequently broke down.

Therefore, it was understandable that Ah San was now preparing to spare no effort to purchase a powerful aircraft carrier.

What Lin Yi did not expect, however, was that Little Japan, Iran, and Saudi would also participate in the bidding.

Did Little Japan not have a Peace Constitution prohibiting them from possessing aircraft carriers?

Could it be that they were preparing to convert the Ford-class into a helicopter carrier like the Hyuga-class to circumvent the constitution?

But would your daddy, the Ugly Country, agree to that?

And Iran, are you certain you intend to purchase this aircraft carrier valued at ten billion US dollars?

Of course, Lin Yi was not particularly surprised that the Middle Eastern tycoon, Saudi, would spend ten billion.

Perhaps they felt that super yachts could no longer measure their nobility.

It was understandable to buy the world's most advanced aircraft carrier to serve as their personal transport.
