I built an armada.

One of the aides gave a cold laugh: "Great Chief, why don't we release the news first, saying that we have made a huge breakthrough with the tokamak device and that it will be successfully deployed soon?"

"In this way, the Longxia tribe will become suspicious of Su Dingping, and we might not even need to take action against him!"

Another aide quickly added, "Yes, we absolutely must not touch Su Dingping. Instead, we should let him continue his research. After all, this is just draining the Longxia tribe's national strength, which suits our purposes perfectly."

The chieftain then had everyone turn to the last page of the document: "Take a look. Our spies in the Dragonxia tribe say they want a large amount of rare earth and rare isotope raw materials so they can infiltrate the Dragon Heart Laboratory."

"The Longxin Laboratory has now successfully developed a new type of material. The data of this material far surpasses all our current alloys. If we can obtain this new material, it will be of great benefit to us!"

An advisor stepped forward and agreed, saying, "The Great Chief is wise. Although Su Dingping's research direction is not very promising, the new material he has created is indeed quite interesting."

"In that case, we'll provide him with rare earth and rare isotope raw materials so he can continue his research. As long as the spy can access the secrets of the Dragon Heart Laboratory, whatever he researches will only benefit us."

"Haha, let's do it this way!" The chieftain was unusually cheerful. "We suffered a great loss at the hands of the Longxia tribe this time, so we must make them pay back tenfold!"

"By the way, have all the repair modules been transported back? Hurry up and start the fire repair! The Dragon Summer Tribe wants to turn the tables with electromagnetic pulse weapons? Absolutely not! I've been keeping them on the back foot all along!"

He made no attempt to hide his malice, his face contorted with rage. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had some deep-seated grudge against the Longxia tribe, simply because he was unwilling to accept that the former overlord had now been trampled underfoot by the Longxia tribe.

If Longxia were to surpass them, the blow to the Eagle Tribe would be devastating. Losing their hegemonic status would lead to the devaluation of the US dollar, freeing up the tribes controlled by the dollar.

Ultimately, the Eagle Tribe could only face the loss of all its blood supply and its demise.

Therefore, whether for dignity or for survival, the Eagle Tribe must suppress the Dragon Xia Tribe!
A staff member stepped forward and said somewhat nervously, "Chief, the repair module we brought back has been sent to the research department. I believe that with the capabilities of our tribe's scientists, we can easily replicate it."

"At that time, we will no longer need to fear electromagnetic pulse weapons. However, defense without offense is not in our nature. Therefore, we must also seize the time to research our own electromagnetic pulse weapons and strive to surpass the Longxia tribe!"

The Great Chief narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew how difficult this matter was, and that surpassing it would not be so simple unless other special methods were used.

"Alright, then allocate 10 billion yuan in research funding and let them do their research properly. If they can figure it out, they can have whatever they want. If they can't figure it out, then they'll be dragged out and executed!"

The aide trembled, knowing that the chieftain was truly anxious. His eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "Chieftain, I have an idea that might be feasible!"

Upon hearing this, the chieftain's eyes lit up immediately: "Haha, at this crucial moment, you guys are still the ones who come in handy. Quick, what exactly did you come up with?"

The advisor smiled slightly: "Great Chief, the strength of our tribe is ultimately limited. Why not offer generous benefits and attract scientists from all over the world to our Eagle Tribe?"

"At the same time, we can also solicit electromagnetic pulse weapon technology from other countries and offer high rewards. In this way, it is equivalent to using the resources of the entire planet Earth to develop our tribe's technology, which is a sure win!"

The more the chieftain listened, the brighter his eyes became, and the more excited he became. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Yes, that's how it should be done. Go and have them print more money. Anyway, the whole world will take the blame for us. Offer a reward of 100 billion for electromagnetic pulse technology. In our tribe's university, create some easy professorships with high salaries. I don't believe no one will be tempted!"

It has to be said that the Great Chief's series of moves will definitely cause a large number of scientists to flock to the Eagle Tribe, since they have too much respect for technology.

The advisors quickly went to carry out their tasks, and the chieftain was furious when he thought about how he had suffered a loss this time, entirely because of the Eastern Wilderness tribe's unauthorized actions.

He picked up the phone and called the Donghuang tribe to see if he could squeeze some more money out of them. Even if he couldn't get any, he could at least feel better after being scolded by them.

But as soon as the call connected, he heard a series of loud noises coming from the other end of the line, as if he were on a stormy sea.

"Great Chieftain, you must save me! Our Eastern Wilderness tribe is in complete chaos! They're demanding that I come out and apologize to the Dragon Summer tribe, and even want me to commit seppuku as atonement!"

Noda Taro's tearful voice rang out, causing the chieftain to freeze in place. It sounded as if the Eastern Wilderness Tribe was about to perish, and the cabinet chief was on the verge of being driven to his death!
"Noda Taro, I don't care what methods you use, you need to compensate us for our losses this time!"

Upon hearing this, Noda Taro cried even harder: "Great Chief, if you insist on forcing me, then I will have no choice but to commit suicide to atone for my sins. But I can't say for sure what the next head of the cabinet will think about the Longxia tribe!"

It sounds like a complaint, but it's actually a threat!
You should know that the Eagle Tribe relies on the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, the Stick Tribe, the Monkey Tribe, and others to keep the Dragon Xia Tribe in check. If it weren't for their restless neighbors, the Dragon Xia Tribe would have already taken off!
Therefore, he absolutely cannot lose the Eastern Wilderness Tribe as a pawn.

"Noda Taro, don't be impulsive. I can help you with anything you need," the chieftain quickly advised.

This sudden turn of events delighted Noda Taro. If he had known that acting and shedding a few tears could get him help, why would he have worked so hard?
"Great Chieftain, our Eastern Wilderness tribe is facing severe social problems, the most serious of which is a lack of money. Social welfare cannot be guaranteed, which will prevent my approval rating from rising. If possible, please provide some financial assistance."

Upon hearing this, the chieftain gritted his teeth. He already needed to print more money if he wanted to use it, so why should the Eastern Wilderness Tribe make him pay up with just a word?

However, at this time, we cannot let the Eastern Wilderness tribes become too desperate, otherwise this pawn will lose its purpose.

So even though he was furious, he held back: "Fine! Then our Eagle Tribe will support your Eastern Wilderness Tribe with 10 billion US dollars. We've suffered heavy losses this time, so we can't give you any more!"

Upon hearing this, Noda Taro thought, "Why should I refuse a hundred billion for free?" So he hurriedly nodded and bowed, not caring whether the chief could see it over the phone.

"Hey! Thank you so much, Chief! We promise to listen to the Eagle Tribe from now on. Wherever you tell me to go, I'll go!"

"Okay, that's settled then!"

The chief was very unhappy. He had wanted to extort some money to recoup his losses, but instead he was extorted. He had made up his mind that he would never call the Eastern Wilderness Tribe again unless there was something wrong.

Meanwhile, in the Donghuang tribe, Noda Taro hung up the phone, his smile impossible to conceal. Outside the cabinet meeting room, a protest had indeed broken out; the people had learned that their Maritime Self-Defense Force had not only suffered a crushing defeat but had also had to pay the Longxia tribe 50 billion US dollars in compensation.

This is fighting a war at the expense of the people, so if they fail, the people will be unhappy. If the tribe has no money, then their pensions, medical insurance, and other benefits will be gone.

Therefore, they came to protest, wanting Noda Taro to step down and replace him with a more capable cabinet leader. What kind of person is considered capable? Someone who can raise money.

Just then, Noda Taro emerged from the cabinet under layers of protection, stood on the erected scaffold, and looked down at the marching demonstrators.

"I, Noda Taro, although I made a mistake in my decision this time, which caused damage to our tribe, I promise that I will get my money back with interest sooner or later!"

"Actually, you shouldn't hate me, but the Longxia tribe! They used tricks and schemes to defeat our fleet and even killed Marshal Inoue!"

Noda Taro kept the news of the Navy Self-Defense Force Marshal's death a secret, since it was related to the Eagle Tribe. If the news were to spread, it would inevitably cause the Eastern Wilderness Tribe and the Eagle Tribe to become estranged.

The reason for releasing this news now is twofold: firstly, to cover up the truth, and secondly, to frame the Longxia tribe and ensure that the people continue to support him.

Sure enough, after he said those words, the protesters suddenly became united in their hatred of the enemy, each one filled with righteous indignation and wishing they could serve the tribe right now.

Noda Taro was like a top actor; he stood on the stage and burst into tears: "Marshal Inoue was loyal to our tribe. He sacrificed his own life for the tribe and for the common people."

"We must remember Marshal Inoue's sacrifice, and we must also remember our hatred for the Longxia tribe. Let them know that our Eastern Wilderness tribe is invincible!"

The protesters, who had originally come to demonstrate, started applauding Noda Taro. He knew that the conflict had been successfully diverted, and now he was about to drop a bombshell.

“We have suffered humiliation long ago, and I, Noda Taro, am more heartbroken than anyone else! But I also know that the Eastern Wilderness Tribe is in a difficult situation now, so the Eagle Tribe is prepared to provide our Eastern Wilderness Tribe with 10 billion US dollars in aid.”

"I will use this money to improve social welfare so that everyone can live without worries!"

These words were like boiling water poured into boiling oil, instantly making the scene heated up. What was supposed to be a demonstration turned into a solo show by Taro Noda!

Looking at the foolish ordinary people below the stage, Noda Taro sneered: "Hmph, it's just an act, and they actually believed it. If the whole country were like this, that would be much more comfortable."

As for the death of his brother-in-law, Inoue Hiro, he didn't care at all. Instead, he kept cursing Noda Taro in his heart. If they had discovered the electromagnetic weapons of the Longxia tribe earlier, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!
The Minister of Science and Technology rushed forward, his face filled with anxiety: "Your Excellency, something terrible has happened!"

Noda Taro frowned: "What happened? Why are you shouting like that? You need to be more composed at all times, you know? If you have nothing to do, learn from me."

Hiroshi Ishihara opened his mouth, but after seeing Taro Noda's face, he sighed, turned and left, and knocked on the door again when he got there.

"Please come in."

After receiving permission, Hiroshi Ishihara entered and stood respectfully to the side.

Noda Taro nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, that's it. As the tribe's Minister of Science and Technology, remember to always be calm and composed, even if the sky falls down!"

"Alright, now tell me what it is."

Ishihara Hiroshi then pulled something out of his pocket, which looked like a small shuttle. This thing looked somewhat familiar to Noda Taro.

"What is this? I can't remember?" Noda Taro asked in confusion.

Ishihara Hiroshi regained his composure and said as slowly as possible, "Your Excellency, do you really not remember? We sold a batch of precision instrument parts that were about to be phased out, and this was one of them."

Noda Taro frowned: "Weren't they all supposed to be sold to the Longxia tribe? How come there are still some here? We've already made a breakthrough, so we won't need these things anymore."

Hiroshi Ishihara shook his head: "Chief, these are not our parts, but were sold to us by the Dragon Summer Tribe!"

"How could that be?" Noda Taro waved his hand. "Ishihara Hiroshi, you're getting more and more humorous."

Ishihara Hiroshi's face remained calm, but he stubbornly placed the instrument parts on the table: "Your Excellency, I am not joking. These were indeed purchased from the Longxia tribe."

Noda Taro was furious: "The support promised by the Eagle Tribe hasn't arrived yet! Which idiot bought all this stuff?"

Hiroshi Ishihara bit his lip, hesitating to speak, which only made Taro Noda even angrier: "Heh, it seems this person has a very high status, even you are wary of him?"

"Tell me now! These idiots don't deserve to be in the cabinet; they're just four pigs!"

Ishihara Hiroshi dared not speak further, but seeing Noda Taro's fiery gaze, he sighed resignedly, "Chief, it was you who purchased these accessories!"

Noda Taro froze on the spot. So the stupid pig he had just cursed was himself? But how could that be? He had never bought these things, let alone sold them not long ago!

"No, I have never signed such an order. Who gave you the audacity to deceive me?"

Hiroshi Ishihara felt a bitter taste in his mouth: "Your Excellency, these are indeed instrument parts we sold, but this time, these instrument parts are installed on the electromagnetic damage repair module." (End of Chapter)
