I built an armada.

Onodera Mai forced out a smile and said, "It will be fine. It will be fine."

His smile was ten times uglier than crying. His heart was beating fast as he said this. With two rounds of super-saturation attacks from anti-ship missiles, even the Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier could not guarantee 100% interception, let alone the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet?

In his estimation, the result of this battle should have come out.

However, they were unable to contact Colonel Chiaki Matsuda, which made him feel uneasy and anxious.

Maybe everything will be fine, maybe everything will be safe, and the aircraft carrier will survive this disaster!
He kept comforting himself in his heart, or maybe he was hypnotizing himself.

At this moment, the signalman suddenly reported: "Captain, the Longxia Navy requests a call."

Onodera Mai's brows knitted together immediately, not understanding why the Long Xia Navy suddenly wanted to talk to him at this time, but he still chose to agree: "Okay."

Soon, a communication channel between the two parties was established.

Captain Dong of the Second Combat Corps spoke directly: "Your Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet has been destroyed, you should surrender!"

Just this short sentence immediately caused a huge wave of emotions in the hearts of everyone in the main control room.

The aircraft carrier fleet was destroyed?
Onodera Mai's heart skipped a few beats, but she remained calm and said through gritted teeth, "Impossible, I don't believe it! Longxia people, stop talking nonsense here and using psychological tactics. I'm telling you, I won't fall for it!"

Captain Dong was not angry, but asked directly: "Have you contacted the Fukuno aircraft carrier in such a long time? Don't you want to think about the reason?"

These words touched Onodera Mai's heart directly, and his heart suddenly contracted.

They really haven't been in touch for a long time. Could it be that they are really destroyed?
"No, it's impossible, I don't want to..." Onodera Mai still insisted.

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Captain Dong: "I'm not here to ask for your opinion, I'm here to give you an ultimatum."

"There are only two choices before you now."

Captain Dong spoke slowly, and there was someone who could speak Donghuang language translating beside him.

"First, surrender immediately! Second, continue to be attacked by us until you are completely sunk! There is no third option. I will give you one minute to consider."

Onodera Mai shouted subconsciously: "No, we will never surrender, absolutely not!"

The war has come to this point. I have witnessed one defeat after another and watched many East Wilderness warriors die before my eyes. Now you want me to surrender and choose to be a prisoner?
He felt that he could not do it no matter what, and it was absolutely impossible for him to live like this.

Suddenly, a communications soldier came over and reported in a low voice: "Captain, we have contacted the fighter pilots. They said that Chiaki Matsuda and others have all been killed. Our aircraft carrier fleet has been destroyed."

Mai Onodera only felt her heart beating violently and there was a piercing pain in her heart. She could not stand steadily and had to hold on to the main control console with both hands to keep herself steady and not fall.

At this time, Captain Dong's urging voice was heard again in the fleet communication channel.

"Are you going to surrender, or are you going to let us kill you? Choose quickly! I don't have that much time to waste with you!"

"Oh, you have a third option. As soldiers of the East Wasteland Tribe, I know you prefer to die with honor. So why don't you just blow up your own warships? The effect will be the same as if we sunk them. This way, we can also save some ammunition for us."

"We will also publicly announce to your country on the Blue Planet that you are very brave and blew yourself up to save ammunition for us."

Captain Dong also thought so. Now is an extraordinary period, so any amount of ammunition that can be saved is a good thing. After all, a missile costs a lot of money, and it is not the result of strong winds and waves.

When Mai Onodera heard this, the veins on her forehead popped out. You damn Longxia people, you are still killing people and destroying their hearts!

Do you think you are so shameless to let me blow myself up to save your ammunition? Do you know whether it takes courage to blow yourself up or launch a sudden attack?
"boom!"

Just as he was lost in thought, not knowing what choice to make, suddenly a loud explosion was heard not far away, followed by flames shooting into the sky.

The dazzling light shone through the porthole onto Mai Onodera. He turned his head subconsciously and found that the half-damaged Toriumi had chosen to self-destruct! This was also to show the world that they would rather die than surrender to the Longxia tribe.

As a result, the pressure instantly fell on Mai Onodera. The blue veins on her forehead bulged a lot, and each vein wriggled under her skin like an earthworm, which looked very scary.

His face also twisted to a hideous and terrifying degree, like an angry monster.

The Toriumi just blew itself up like that. How much courage did that take?

He had just talked about this matter with the captain of the Toriumi. Both of them didn't know what to do next, but they didn't expect that they would self-destruct as soon as they said they would.

But for him, self-destruction is equivalent to being a deserter. He will no longer be able to contribute his strength to the Donghuang tribe. No matter what, he will fight to the last soldier.

If they just self-destructed, wouldn't that save the Longxia Navy weapons and missiles? Why should they get such a bargain?

But then again, he was indeed afraid of death, which was the main reason why he didn't dare to self-destruct even though he knew he was the bait.

"Damn it, they are just a bunch of cowards and bastards!" Mai Onodera screamed hysterically.

In fact, he knew very well that at this point, the soldiers on the two warships had reached the limit of their psychological endurance and could collapse at any time. Facing one defeat after another, it was very precious that they could hold on until now.

Undoubtedly, Captain Dong's information about the environment in which the two destroyers were located was the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Even though Captain Dong did not state in the final ultimatum that they were in an isolated and helpless situation, after many defeats, the soldiers of the Donghuang Navy had already realized that they were just bait for the siege, and their survival allowed the Longxia Navy's carrier-based aircraft that came to rescue them to be shot down time and time again.

An aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft is a sitting duck, which means they have caused the aircraft carrier fleet to lack combat effectiveness!

As a result, the navy soldiers on the Toriumi, who had previously suffered heavy losses from being hit by the most advanced anti-ship missiles, were now unable to withstand the added worry of Captain Dong's murderous remarks. They all felt that they were the culprits of the East Wasteland Tribe's tragic defeat and were sinners!

With such deep self-blame, he chose to blow up the warship and end his sinful life!

"Report to the captain, the Toriumi has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and no one is alive." The deputy captain reported the specific situation he observed with great sorrow, his voice choked with sobs.

For a moment, the North Wind was filled with endless sadness, and the sadness turned into a river!

Mai Onodera slowly scanned the faces of everyone in the main control room one by one, and found that each of their faces was filled with despair and there was no life at all.

Everyone looked dazed, let alone mustering the courage to fight.

As things developed to this point, Onodera Mai couldn't help but feel deeply moved. With the destruction of the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet of the Donghuang tribe, they no longer even had the power to choose to fight to the death with the Longxia Navy.

If they had discovered the Longxia naval fleet, perhaps they could have fought to the death and driven the Beifeng to ram the enemy warships, but unfortunately they haven't even found any trace of it so far.

In other words, they didn't even have the chance to perish together with the Longxia Navy warships. This was a modern naval battle, and it was no longer the era of naval gun battles.

They also discovered that even though they had imported the so-called most advanced warships on Blue Star from the Eagle Tribe, in the end they could not see the Longxia Navy, and they didn't even have the chance to lock on with radar and attack with missiles.

In other words, they can do nothing but feel impotent and furious. There is a hopeless generation gap between the two, which cannot be changed at all!

At this moment, he seemed to understand that those so-called top-ranked warships were just ranked by Western countries themselves in order to sell the warships at a high price, while none of the advanced warships in the hands of the Longxia Navy were ranked.

And this is the main reason why they suffered disastrous defeats in naval battles time and time again. They do not understand the Longxia Navy at all and do not understand the level of the Longxia Navy’s warships.

Mai Onodera looked up at the fireworks that were gradually extinguishing, and a sense of sadness emerged in her heart, and a deep sense of humiliation spread throughout her body!

He felt that he was really ridiculous. Even at this point in the battle, they still hadn't found any trace of a warship of the Longxia Navy, and only witnessed how their side was defeated miserably.

This was completely different from what he had imagined before. At first, he had fantasized about how to beat up the Longxia Navy and witness the Longxia Navy's decline and annihilation, but he didn't expect to witness the Longxia Navy's inhumanity.

Having witnessed the inhumanity, he was thinking that after the war was won, they would go to the Blue Star level to accuse the Longxia tribe of being too despicable and mean.

And now, as long as the Longxia Navy does not admit it, they have no evidence, because all the evidence has sunk to the bottom of the sea with the sinking of the warship.

There is no such opportunity now, because they either choose to surrender or be sunk by the Longxia Navy!

The deputy captain was heartbroken and gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, we only have one warship left in the East Desert Navy. All the other warships that participated in the battle have been destroyed."

"All the navy soldiers and commanders who participated in the battle were killed. No one survived!"

Previously, six warships were hit by missiles, exploded and sank, and many soldiers of the Eastern Wasteland Navy jumped into the sea to escape. Except for a small number of them who were rescued, most of them were still soaking in the sea water because they were too far away to be rescued.

Onodera Mai also took into consideration that the Longxia Navy was very likely to take advantage of the opportunity to kill them, so she chose not to rescue them for the time being and wanted to wait until the war was over before carrying out the rescue.

But now, there is no chance of rescue. Those Donghuang Navy soldiers who are soaked in the sea water will have only one final outcome: death in the sea.

It was precisely because of these considerations that the deputy captain said that all of them were killed. It was the first time he had ever seen such a tragic scene. There were corpses floating everywhere on the sea, and all of them were theirs.

Of course, Mai Onodera understood what the vice-captain meant, but she was powerless to do anything. He couldn't make any decision. Even if he rescued those people, death would be waiting for them in the end. It would be better to let them die so that they wouldn't be in too much pain.

Now there are only two choices before him: surrender means life, not surrendering means death!
To live or to die, that is the question.

Since he couldn't make a decision, he simply didn't choose. Instead, he threw the whole problem to the sailors and let them make the decision!

"Did you all hear the Longxia Navy's ultimatum?"

"As the most heroic sailors of the great East Wasteland tribe, are you willing to die for the bushido spirit of the Great East Wasteland Empire?"

Looking around, he found that some soldiers were nodding, while some remained silent, but their faces all had the same expressionless look.

However, no one spoke, so the atmosphere in the main control room was still very depressing and became extremely awkward.

A bitter smile appeared on Mai Onodera's face. It turned out that not everyone was willing to die for the Donghuang tribe.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that he was in the same situation. He didn't want to die at all. He wanted to continue living and wanted to linger on for the sake of his family!

Just as he was in agony, Captain Dong's voice was heard again in the fleet communication channel.

"There are only 20 seconds left. Make a decision quickly. If you haven't made a decision after 20 seconds, let my anti-ship missiles make the choice for you."

"In addition, I have to inform you of one thing. Your air force base on the Aleutian Islands has been razed to the ground. This is a war, a war that you initiated!"

"Since we have been defeated, we must accept the price of defeat!"

After saying this, Captain Dong decisively ended the bilateral communication.

That’s all I have to say. Now it depends on what choices Onodera Mai and the others make. Life or death depends on just one thought!
No matter what, the war was started by the people of Donghuang themselves, and they wanted to seize the territory of the Longxia tribe. Do they really think they have returned to the days of poverty and weakness in the past?
Can the Longxia tribe be trampled by the Japanese invaders and their territory be taken by them? (End of this chapter)
