Under the watchful eyes of nations across Blue Star.
The viewership of Al Jazeera skyrocketed.
Within a mere few minutes, it reached the second highest point in its history.
Only slightly lower than the record set when they broadcasted the exclusive interview with Benden.
However, the higher-ups at Al Jazeera believed this was not the peak of viewership.
When the video was officially released, they expected a surge in viewership.
The station director even believed that the new leader of the Houthi rebels' speech would surpass the previous one by Benden.
As the time approached, the staff at Al Jazeera couldn't afford to delay.
They immediately aired the video.
It seamlessly replaced the news loop from the previous night, which was about the Houthi rebels' attack on the government forces in Yemen.
Soon, viewers from every nation on Blue Star saw.
A young man with a distinctly Eastern face appeared in the video.
This scene truly shocked everyone.
After all, though many knew the new Houthi leader was mixed-race.
They never imagined it would be so pure, with a completely Eastern face.
If he hadn't explicitly said it, most people would have considered him Asian.
The only difference was that this young man's features were more defined and delicate.
Looking at his appearance alone, many would think he was a gentle and handsome man.
It was hard to associate him with the Houthi leader, classified as an illegal organization by many countries.
The stark contrast shocked many.
“Woah! This guy is the new leader of the Houthi rebels? You're kidding, right!”
“Yeah, he looks like a pure Asian, how could he be the legitimate heir of the Houthi rebels.”
“Wow, I can only say that our Dragon Nation's genes are just too strong.”
“He’s so mixed that you can’t even tell he’s Middle Eastern.”
“Come on, people from the Middle East and us Asians aren't that different, it's not surprising that there isn't much change in appearance.”
“It's mainly his age and temperament, you'd believe he's a college student, how did he get connected with the Houthi rebels?”
“He's actually young, they say he just graduated college not too long ago.
If his family hadn't all passed away, forcing him to become the leader of the Houthi rebels, maybe he'd still be in school.”
“Woah! Isn’t this Hu Jun? He's the campus heartthrob of our Beijing University!”
“What? This Houthi rebel leader is actually a college student? And he even went to a university in our Dragon Nation?!”
This video was just released, and it already sparked discussion among people across Blue Star.
After all, Hu Jun really didn't look like the leader of an armed organization.
Especially the netizens from the Dragon Nation, many of whom were alumni of Beijing University and recognized Hu Jun.
When they learned that the Houthi leader had actually attended Beijing University, they went crazy.
“Holy shit! What’s going on?”
“My roommate from college is actually the leader of the Houthi rebels, this is way too freaking unbelievable!”
“I feel like I'm watching a drama.”
“Others graduate college and go work, but he graduates college and goes to war!”
“Woah! Compared to this dude, those domineering CEOs are all weaklings.”
“This is literally the Middle Eastern version of God of War Returns!”
“Hahaha… That's my roommate, I even scolded him for fighting over food back then.”
“You actually scolded the Houthi leader in person? Bro, you're going to have bragging rights for life!”
“Is the upstairs guy a moron? He was roommates with the Houthi leader, what's there to brag about? If I were him, I'd go find him, join the Houthi rebels, and maybe I could even get promoted to a general.”
“Forget it, even if he wants you, do you think you'd dare to go?”
“The Houthi rebels are notoriously vicious, the title of Middle Eastern slipper army isn't for nothing.
If the upstairs guy goes, I reckon he won’t make it past the first episode!”
“……”
While the netizens were engaged in heated discussions.
Hu Jun, who had been silent in the video, finally spoke.
“Hello, everyone from around Blue Star, I am Hu Jun, the leader of the Houthi rebels in Yemen.”
“Many countries consider us an illegal armed organization, but you are all wrong.”
“All the members of our Houthi rebel organization are ordinary civilians of Yemen. The reason we picked up weapons to fight is to protect the integrity of our homeland.”
“However, due to various forces coveting Yemen's resources, our people in Yemen now struggle even to get food.”
“We tried many peaceful methods, but they all failed.”
“We had no choice but to pick up weapons and defend our country with our lives.”
As he spoke, Hu Jun's eyes sharpened.
“Since we can't protect our country with peaceful means, the Houthi rebels have no choice but to fight fire with fire!”
“We saw that the Saudi-led Arab Coalition intended to continue sending more ground troops to attack us.”
“In response, I, Hu Jun, on behalf of the entire Houthi rebel organization, formally declare war on Saudi Arabia and other participating countries in the Arab Coalition!”
“I will use the guns and cannons in our hands to prove to you that no one can stop the unification of Yemen. And no one can change our desire for peace!”
“Also, I want to tell all organizations and countries that want to challenge the Houthi rebels.
Whoever dares to attack us, we will retaliate tenfold, a hundredfold!”
“Those who offend Yemen will be punished, no matter how far they are!”
After Hu Jun finished speaking, his entire demeanor became much more imposing.
His speech also shocked and bewildered nations across Blue Star.
“What does that mean? The Houthi rebels are actually declaring war on the Arab Coalition?! This is a bit too bold!”
“Damn! This Houthi leader is pretty awesome!”
“Those who offend Yemen will be punished, no matter how far they are?! This Hu Jun is worthy of graduating from our Dragon Nation, this is clearly a line from our Dragon Nation!”
“Oh my god! This Hu Jun is just so cool!”
“I'm already in love with him, I wonder if he’s married.”
“Even if he has a wife, it's okay, the law in Yemen allows polygamy, they say you can marry up to four wives.”
“What? Is this for real? Then I'm going to Yemen to find a wife!”
“Me too! Let's go together as a group!”
“Forget it, buddy, you think polygamy is a good thing?”
“That's for strong people, if you can't even get a wife in the Dragon Nation, you think you'll find one in Yemen?”
“Don’t end up as cannon fodder before you even find a wife.”
“……”
