I built an armada.

Only in this way can one maximize their personal value.

As for how much influence these people will have in the future, and what kind of influence they will have, that's naturally not something the high-ranking leaders of the Longxia tribe will consider in the short term. You could even say they're putting in extra effort before the fact.

In any case, he won't be able to play his due role for now, and some of his undercover agents may never even have the chance to be used in their entire lives.

But once activated, it will inevitably yield significant information from the start, sometimes even groundbreaking, decisive news!

Therefore, this determines that every move is not a casual move!

Don't be fooled by the fact that it costs a lot of money on a daily basis, and it may seem like a huge waste of money. These are all necessary expenses, which are determined by the nature of the covert front. The effects may not be seen in the short term, but continuous investment is necessary.

Time flies, and the construction of the covert front is very rapid.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

At the end of March, the previous cabinet leader committed suicide to atone for his sins against the entire Eastern Wilderness Tribe. In just a few months, the newly appointed cabinet leader has thoroughly grasped the many affairs and procedures within the Eastern Wilderness Tribe and launched a series of actions based on this knowledge!

Meanwhile, the Eagle Tribe's "Dark Night Project" was also progressing steadily, and it entered its final stage at the end of August.

Even though the 'Dark Night Project' had its wolfish ambitions at Sea Fish Island thwarted in the early stages, the Eagle Tribe did not give up on building its second military base. It can be said that the Eagle Tribe never abandoned its encirclement of the Dragon Summer Tribe, aiming to completely seal them off within the first island chain!
Therefore, even when faced with setbacks, the Eagle Tribe never gave up on advancing this plan.

Besides building a military base in the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, they also built military bases in a number of countries, including the Philippines Tribe and the Thousand Buddha Tribe. Their purpose is self-evident.

Inside the Cabinet Building meeting room of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

Newly appointed Cabinet Chief Noda Taro continued to chair the meeting, sitting in the chief seat.

"Reporting to the Cabinet Leader, the air defense missile interception system jointly built by the Eagle Tribe and our side has completed its deployment mission at the end of last month."

"Secondly, the Eagle Tribe's newest batch of state-of-the-art fighter jets has arrived at our military base. According to the Self-Defense Forces, they have selected the personnel who will undergo conversion training within the next seven days."

"The Self-Defense Forces have assured us that they will complete the professional training in the shortest possible time."

At this moment, a cabinet member stood up and looked at the cabinet chief, who was giving a serious report.

The previous cabinet not only had its head of cabinet take responsibility and commit suicide to atone for his sins, but all cabinet members were also dismissed, some went to jail, and others committed seppuku!

Besides the re-selection of the cabinet leader, all the cabinet members present were also replaced by a new batch of personnel. Their primary task now is to stabilize the domestic political situation, and secondly, to further strengthen the deep ties with the Eagle Tribe and ensure the deepening of relations between the two countries.

Because, looking across the entire planet, the only ones who can provide them with help and support are the Eagle Tribe.

After several conflicts, this concept has taken root in the hearts of every tribe in the Eastern Wilderness!

"very good."

Cabinet Chief Noda Taro nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with the current progress of these plans.

Since taking office, he has personally overseen the implementation of these plans, even assigning specialists to monitor the process and fulfilling any requests that arise.

"What's the current state of the polls?" the cabinet chief asked after a moment.

He has not been elected as the head of the cabinet for long, so he is naturally very concerned about his approval rating among the people in the country. In order to improve the public's perception of him, he has taken a series of actions.

It could be said that he was chosen for two reasons: first, to clean up the mess left by his predecessor; and second, naturally, to serve for a longer period and achieve something significant.

Having already taken that position, he naturally hopes to make a name for himself in the history of the Eastern Wilderness tribe!
The cabinet minister was clearly hesitant, unsure of how to begin.

"No matter what the outcome, you can speak out."

Seeing the other person's expression, the cabinet leader tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his tone becoming more forceful.

"Yes, Chief Cabinet Secretary."

The cabinet minister took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "The latest opinion poll results are in, and our cabinet has a 36 percent approval rating."

"Only thirty-six percent?"

The cabinet chief frowned, looking rather displeased. "It's still too low. We need to work harder."

All told, this cabinet has been in office for six months, but he is quite dissatisfied with the low approval rating.

It's important to know that he has done a lot during this period, especially in restoring people's livelihoods.

"What's the current state of the economy? Has it recovered?" the cabinet chief asked again.

Since the defeat in the naval battle, the economy of the Eastern Wilderness tribe has suffered a severe blow, which has greatly damaged the confidence of the people, bringing it to its lowest point in history!

If the previous cabinet leader hadn't chosen to end his own life to appease the public, it would likely have taken at least two years for public support to recover. Now, with 36%, that's quite an achievement!

If the general public loses confidence in the country, it's impossible to get them to dedicate themselves to economic development. Therefore, he devised many ways to rekindle public support and rekindle their hope for life.

During this period, the economic environment of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe was extremely poor, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it plummeted. No matter what industry it was, it was not doing well!
Faced with the cabinet chief's question, the cabinet member hesitated again, but eventually spoke up.

"Chief Cabinet, six months have passed. The policies we implemented have had an effect, but we still haven't recovered to the levels of the same period in the past."

"If we want to recover to the same level as before, it will probably take some time, probably until the end of the year."

At this point, the cabinet member paused for a moment, "Sir, all of this depends on good luck. It's impossible to maintain significant growth in the short term."

"According to the analysis of the economic department, it will probably not be until the end of next year."

Hearing the Minister of Economy's words, the other cabinet ministers felt a chill run down their spines. They had initially hoped to revive the economy quickly so they could have the funds to purchase weapons and equipment and restore the Self-Defense Forces' combat capabilities.

But now, seeing the real data, even though there has been growth and it has met their expectations, they still feel uneasy. The economy is terrible, and public confidence is very difficult to restore.

In every aspect, they felt incredibly overwhelmed!
If the progress of the Longxia tribe hadn't been so rapid, almost to the point of daily change, then they wouldn't be so anxious. A slower pace of economic recovery and development wouldn't be a big problem.

But the reality is extremely cruel. The rapid development of the Longxia tribe will not give them time to develop, much less stop to wait for them to progress.

It should be noted that there was originally a huge economic gap between the two sides. The Eastern Wilderness Tribe was a developed country, while the Dragon Summer Tribe was a developing country. If the current trend continues, it will probably not be long before the Eastern Wilderness Tribe is overtaken.

If the Eastern Wilderness tribe were to fall into a position of being surpassed under his leadership, that would be even more painful than killing him!

He absolutely refused to accept that the economy of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe would be surpassed by the Dragon Summer Tribe during his tenure, which was the only remaining advantage that the Eastern Wilderness Tribe could be proud of in front of the Dragon Summer Tribe.

However, it seems that this problem cannot be resolved in the short term, and the cabinet leader looked particularly gloomy.

"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now and let time resolve it."

The cabinet chief sighed, then said, "We still need to stick to our economic policies. This is an important part of our cabinet's economic policy. Also, find someone to come up with a more catchy name for our economic policies."

"Yes, Chief."

The cabinet minister in charge of the economy quickly accepted the order.

“Chief, in my opinion, we should call our economic policy Noda Economics,” a bald cabinet member suggested.

"Noda Economics?"

After a moment of contemplation, the cabinet chief said directly, "Let's call it Noda Economics, and keep the messaging consistent."

He knew very well that the reason the other party suggested this name was to make him take on the corresponding responsibility.
If the economy improves within two years, he will have made a name for himself in history, and it will be a remarkable story.

"Yes!"

All cabinet members responded in unison.

The cabinet chief suddenly thought of a question and quickly asked, "By the way, how is the construction of the second garrison base on the Alyu Islands progressing?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, some even raising their eyebrows.

They all knew very well that the conflict a few months ago stemmed from the construction of this second garrison base, which led to a clash with the Longxia tribe. Ultimately, it was the Eagle tribe's insistence on pushing forward with the 'Dark Night Project,' which caused the previous cabinet leader to make a wrong judgment.

The previous cabinet deliberately chose Haiyu Island and Tail Island as the sites for the Eagle Tribe's second garrison base, and even allocated funds to help the Eagle Tribe with construction, providing both manpower and resources, all in an attempt to drag the Eagle Tribe into a fierce battle with the Dragon Summer Tribe, so that the Eastern Wilderness Tribe could reap the benefits.

However, despite his meticulous planning, the previous cabinet leader ultimately misjudged the true strength of the Dragon Xia army and overestimated the power of the Eagle Tribe's navy.

The result was that they shot themselves in the foot. The Eastern Wilderness tribe fell into an abyss because of that disastrous defeat and has not yet climbed out. He himself also met a tragic end.

With past mistakes already in hand, this cabinet has no choice but to be cautious.

They really didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, which ultimately led to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe becoming a second-rate nation, something that could be trampled on by any country!

Whether or not there will be another conflict with the Longxia tribe in the future, at least for the foreseeable future, the Donghuang tribe should not clash with the Longxia tribe again over the issue of the second garrison base, lest it lead to utter ruin!
Why aren't you saying anything?

After waiting for quite a while without receiving a report, the cabinet chief glanced at the other party with considerable dissatisfaction.

"Reporting to the Chief, the construction of the second garrison base in the Alyu Islands is progressing very smoothly and has entered the final sprint stage. At the earliest, it can be completed and put into use by the end of September."

The cabinet member quickly reported, "However, due to the Eagle Tribe's secrecy measures, we have no way of knowing more details."

"In addition, local residents have begun to oppose the construction of a second garrison base there, believing that they would become the first target in wartime."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the cabinet members turned extremely grim.

"Okay, I understand."

After pondering for a moment, the cabinet chief waved his hand and said.

The construction of a second garrison base in the Aleutian Islands will inevitably lead to protests from the local population, but this is a matter that must be done, and it cannot be stopped simply because the people oppose it.

On the other hand, the two original leaders of the Eagle Tribe garrison, Krus and Koro, have been transferred and replaced by two new leaders: one named Taros, a three-star general, and the other named Carlos, a four-star general.

Both of them were transferred from the Eagle Tribe's homeland, so naturally their relationship with them wasn't very good.

Moreover, both sides were still in the exploratory contact stage, and neither of them had figured out the other's character, so naturally nothing came of it.

It's even more impossible to get any useful information from the other party!
In any case, the other party hasn't been transferred for very long. All of this is normal, so there's no need to worry about it.

Seeing that the matter had been discussed to a sufficient extent, the cabinet chief pondered for a moment and then raised another question.

"Six months have already passed."

The cabinet chief coughed lightly twice, raised his eyelids and glanced at everyone, "Our maritime self-defense system hasn't changed much since then, it's still sluggish, and it doesn't even have the ability to defend our territorial waters. What do you suggest we do?"

When this question was raised, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all showed concern.

A moment later, a cabinet minister will stand up and express his opinion.

"Chief, and fellow colleagues, my personal opinion is that we may continue to procure warships from the Eagle Tribe military to supplement the Maritime Self-Defense Force's insufficient strength?" (End of Chapter)
