I built an armada.

Chapter 814: The Eagle Tribe’s defenses were breached, and this battle cannot be fought
Seeing that no one answered, General Delta continued speaking.

"What if, what if the Longxia tribe still has a trump card weapon in their hands? What if they have more than just ballistic missiles that can hit aircraft carriers?"

"Hmph, don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige."

General Kurila didn't want to listen anymore and waved his hand impatiently, "Don't forget, we still have anti-ship Tomahawk cruise missiles, we also have the fifth-generation F22 Raptor, which is unique in the blue planet, and we also have nuclear weapons, which can be used!"

That's right, once they are sure that they cannot defeat their opponents in a conventional war, nuclear weapons will become the weapon of choice, just like when they directly launched a nuclear attack on the Donghuang tribe.

Moreover, during the Cold War, they even formulated an action plan for full-scale nuclear retaliation against the Longxia tribe!

"General, I have considered everything you said."

General Delta looked at General Kurila deeply, and then changed the subject, "Tomahawk cruise missiles can attack surface ships, but this has a prerequisite, that is, we have to locate the specific position of the Longxia Navy fleet and lock them."

"As for the fifth-generation aircraft, we have not yet deployed them in the East Desert Tribe. If we dispatch them from our homeland, it will be a long journey, and they will need to fly tens of thousands of kilometers to reach the battlefield. Moreover, the F22 Raptor cannot fly such a long distance at one time, and needs to be transferred midway."

"By the time the F22s reach the front lines, the war will have already ended and they will not be able to provide any substantial help. Even if they want to retaliate, it will be a matter of the future."

"As for the use of other means, such as nuclear weapons, General, we have previously negotiated with the Longxia tribe, and the two sides have reached an agreement on limiting the use of nuclear weapons."

"Once we use it, I'm afraid the entire Blue Planet will stand against us. Then we will become the target of public criticism. Is this worthwhile for us? The strategic loss will be huge!"

Delta's words were well-reasoned and left General Kulila speechless. He really hadn't thought deeply about these things. He was just simply angry that the other party described the Longxia tribe as so great and powerful.

In front of the Longxia tribe, they were like clowns. This was a bit too much and he was very unhappy.

After a moment, he spoke in a muffled voice: "Delta, don't forget, the Longxia tribe used that thing to hit our Enterprise aircraft carrier!"

"General, that was a conventional ballistic missile, not a nuclear warhead! Even if we put it in context, it did not violate the agreement at all."

"In fact, there is something I have always wanted to say. Perhaps the Longxia tribe has mastered the technology to use ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers. After all, they have received help from Elder Qian."

General Delta's words caused everyone to fall into silence for a moment, but it also seemed to completely open up General Kurila's mind.

"There is no evidence that they have anti-ship ballistic missiles, so let's not talk about it for now."

"Since the Longxia tribe used conventional ballistic missiles, we will also use ballistic missiles without nuclear weapons to attack the Longxia tribe."

Kurila's proposal was naturally agreed by the other generals. They recognized it very much. Why could the Longxia tribe use it but they couldn't?

"That being said, we can use it."

General Delta followed Kurilla's words and then changed the subject, "Then I want to ask you, what do you think we should aim for?"

"We haven't found any trace of the Longxia Navy's fleet. Even if we have, it is still on the move. We haven't mastered the technology to use ballistic missiles to hit moving targets."

"If we want to attack the Longxia tribe, we can do it. But how much damage can an intercontinental ballistic missile without a nuclear warhead cause to the Longxia tribe? I'm afraid that in the end, it will not be as valuable as an intercontinental ballistic missile. General, is it worth it to do this?"

"Let's not consider whether the Longxia tribe will retaliate in kind and the situation will escalate."

This series of questions was like a stick hitting General Kurila's back hard, making his whole body tremble and his brain almost stop functioning.

He opened his mouth to refute, but couldn't utter a word. In the end, his Adam's apple moved back and forth a few times.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles are extremely expensive and are strategic weapons of mass destruction. If conventional warheads are used to attack opponents, it would be a pure loss-making act.

Moreover, the Longxia tribe would never judge that it was an intercontinental ballistic missile without a nuclear warhead and would certainly launch a nuclear retaliation. By that time, they would feel that the loss outweighed the gain!

The most cost-effective way to use intercontinental ballistic missiles is to use them together with nuclear weapons to maximize their value!
At this time, General Kurila felt like his head was spinning and his mood was extremely bad.

At this time, Navadro had already rushed back, pushed open the door and walked into the command hall.

The negotiations between the two countries had failed, so he rushed back to the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible. After rushing for a long time, he finally arrived. Fortunately, he arrived.

As soon as he entered the command center, he felt that the atmosphere on the scene was very strange, and a huge question mark suddenly appeared on his brows.

What happened? Am I unwelcome? I didn't do anything wrong to upset these people. How could this happen?

Seeing everyone's serious face, he took a deep breath, tiptoed back to his seat and sat down. Unable to suppress his strong curiosity, he turned his head and whispered in the ear of a general next to him about the situation.

The general turned his head, looked at him, and explained the situation in a low voice.

After hearing this, Navadro's eyes widened several inches in shock. This was too scary.

Shit, I just went out to attend a consultation meeting, how come so many things happened? Each one is more shocking than the last, and it is simply unacceptable.

If I had come back a little later, wouldn't I have heard the horrific news that the USS Enterprise fleet had been annihilated?
When did the Longxia Navy become so powerful?
No wonder General Xu Dongguo from the Longxia Navy was so unscrupulous at the video consultation meeting, and even threatened to meet on the battlefield. It turned out that they had prepared so many backup plans and had hidden so many ambush fleets in the relevant waters!

Didn't they take advantage of the fact that the Longxia Navy had split up a part of its forces and headed for the Europa Sea Circle, and then suddenly launched an attack? Could it be that the Longxia Navy had not split up its forces at all? Those were actually just a trick for external publicity, and they were simply deceiving people. Navadros thought about it and felt that this matter was very strange and very tricky, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it!
So, he fell into silence like all the generals present.

After the previous discussion, they have fully understood a very cruel reality: the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet can only deal with the anti-ship missiles launched by the Longxia Navy.

Because no matter how powerful the armed forces and military equipment are, no matter how powerful the intercontinental ballistic missiles are, at this critical juncture, they are simply unable to use them, which means they have become decorations.

It’s all because of time pressure, there’s simply no time to get there!

To sum up, reinforcements are still a huge problem, and it is also the difficulty that must be solved first.

Without reinforcements, the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet would be in great danger!

After a long silence, a general finally spoke up: "The situation is unclear now. We don't have a full grasp of the situation on the front line. If we report it rashly, won't people think we are incompetent?"

"Maybe after some time has passed, the war situation will turn around and the situation won't be as bad as we thought, nor will it be so irreversible?"

"Anyway, we are just guessing now. The situation on the battlefield is complex and changeable. None of us can predict it 100% correctly."

Naturally, the words of this general were supported by most of the generals. They all felt that it made a lot of sense, so they subconsciously looked at General Kurila and waited for his decision.

"In that case, let's just wait and see what happens for now."

General Kurila glanced at everyone and seeing that no one had any objections, he made the decision.

In fact, the reason why he made the decision so quickly was that he didn't believe at all that the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet would be swallowed up by the Longxia Navy.

No matter what, if the combat effectiveness of the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet is ranked separately on Blue Planet, it is definitely very advanced. And how can the Longxia Navy defeat it with just an ordinary fleet?
On the other side, it is located at the junction of the Donghuang tribal waters and the Pacific Ocean.

The Vulture aircraft carrier fleet was speeding towards the waters of the East Wilderness Tribe at a speed of 30 knots. The wake of each ship created long waves, but they were soon swallowed up by the inky night.

In the main control room on the bridge of the aircraft carrier, Captain Douglas paced back and forth anxiously, glancing at the communications soldier from time to time.

He had already reported the situation to his superiors for such a long time, but the other party had not made any move at all, leaving him with no way to make a rash decision.

To be honest, he didn't want to rush to the front line for support, and he didn't want to let his carrier-based aircraft go to die. After all, the Longxia Navy's fleet was lurking in the relevant sea area, appearing and disappearing at any time.

It's not that he is cold-hearted and doesn't care about the friendship of his comrades, it's simply that the place is too dangerous, and he is afraid of losing both his wife and his troops.

At the very least, he had to wait until the ambush fleet of the Longxia Navy was found and completely destroyed, and then conduct a comprehensive sweep of the relevant sea areas before he could safely dispatch carrier-based aircraft to provide assistance. Anyway, it was impossible to do so now.

As a mature grassroots commander, what he has to do is not to joke with the lives of his soldiers!

However, the order has not come down yet, and he is somewhat worried that his superiors will ask him to continue the rescue mission without hesitation. In that case, he will have to obey the order.

"Alas, there is really no other way. It's not that I don't want to provide support, but we are also in trouble here. There is a roadblock ahead. But I have ordered the fleet to advance at full speed and provide support as soon as possible."

"I hope the generals above us can understand our current situation and not do anything that would make our loved ones sad and our enemies happy."

Douglas' lips moved as he muttered to himself that the pitch-black night outside was like the bloody mouth of a monster, ready to devour the lives of their pilots at any time.

Suddenly at this moment, the signalman's voice came: "Captain, there is news from the headquarters."

Upon hearing this, Douglas couldn't wait to say, "Quick, read it quickly."

"Captain, the headquarters has told us to hold our ground for now and let the carrier-based aircraft wing rest. We are not allowed to use carrier-based aircraft to provide support without receiving orders from the headquarters. The headquarters has also ordered us to advance at full speed and approach the battlefield."

After listening to the signalman's report, Douglas couldn't help but let out a long breath, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

There is no need to send carrier-based aircraft to the front line, everything is fine, he doesn't need to be the grassroots commander who disregards the lives of soldiers. Fortunately, those people in the headquarters are clear-headed and rational.

All he had to do next was to lead the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet at full speed and rush towards the battlefield.

And now, even if the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet is really in danger, it has nothing to do with him directly. The responsibility can be said to have been cleared away, and he does not need to be responsible!
Even when the war was over, he would be able to proudly fight back against those who accused him of not helping. He had already lost ten carrier-based aircraft in providing front-line support, and the pilots had not been found yet.

I originally wanted to provide support again, but the headquarters asked me to wait for the next order. If I didn't carry out it, I would be considered a disobedient person and would be brought to a military court.

Therefore, the responsibility cannot be put on me, right?

However, he did not know that as the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet moved forward at full speed, it was also closing the distance with the Longxia Navy's Third Combat Corps, giving the 10,000-ton destroyer a better coordinate positioning.

The next round of Yunfan-2 anti-ship ballistic missiles aimed at the USS Vulture are already ready on the launch tower, waiting for the coordinate system to be input before launching a fatal attack!

After thinking for a moment, Douglas ordered: "Tell the reconnaissance planes to find the Longxia Navy's ambush fleet as soon as possible!"

"Notify all units to make all preparations. Once Fredette and his men return, immediately resupply them with weapons, ammunition, and fuel, and prepare them to take off again."
