I built an armada.

Anyone who provokes us will pay a heavy price, not even the Eagle Tribe!

At that moment, Captain Dong's voice suddenly came through the fleet's communication channel: "Old Chen, do you think the commanders would be laughing in their sleep if they knew we had achieved such a great victory?"

Captain Chen replied with a smile, "I'm afraid that won't happen. They're probably still awake while we're fighting overseas. When news of such a victory gets back, the entire command will be in an uproar, and the entire navy will be happy for us for days to come."

"Don't you think we've already 'sailed past ten thousand mountains'?"

Captain Dong, however, was more cautious, saying, "To say that the light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains, I think it's a bit early. At the very least, we haven't completed the new three-step strategy proposed by Dingping."

"What we have achieved so far can only be described as a phased victory. From now on, we will no longer need to fear the Eagle Tribe Navy, and we will be able to confront them head-on."

Captain Chen wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right. We can only say such things when we're truly unchallenged on this planet. But regardless, our victory this time is worthy of being recorded in history!"

In any case, this conflict not only proved that the ships equipped by the Longxia Navy possessed super combat power, but also severely slapped the face of the Eagle Tribe Navy, and further diminished the prestige of the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet, which it boasted of being invincible throughout the entire Blue Star!

After this battle, the confidence of the Longxia Navy will be even higher, while the sailors of the Longxia tribe will realize that the much-hyped Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier fleet is not so impressive in combat after all.

The change in mindset and cognition began with this incident. From then on, the Longxia naval soldiers would no longer feel fear when encountering the Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier fleet. Instead, they would feel a surge of heroic spirit, believing that the brave would prevail in a narrow encounter!

Captain Cao Youren of the Third Combat Corps, located in the waters related to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, also monitored the changes on the entire battlefield through the radar display on the 10,000-ton warship.

When he discovered that the Enterprise carrier fleet was suffering increasing losses after the first and second waves of attacks, he couldn't help but laugh with delight.

"Hahaha. That's so satisfying, so incredibly satisfying."

"In this battle, we truly demonstrated the military might of the Longxia Navy, as well as the prestige of our nation, and deterred those petty villains!"

"From now on, anyone who dares to cause trouble in our waters will pay a heavy price. No matter how many come, we will be able to eliminate them all!"

The vice-captain standing nearby was also filled with enthusiasm upon hearing Cao Youren's words.

Regardless, they have avenged themselves in this battle, getting revenge for what happened seven years ago.

Judging from the current results, not only did they get revenge, but they also made a huge profit, of course, on the battlefield. They practically crippled the Enterprise carrier fleet.

"After two rounds of anti-ship missile attacks, the Enterprise carrier fleet is now facing a shortage of air defense missiles, making it a toothless tiger."

The first mate glanced at the relevant data summary and said, "The Enterprise carrier strike group is like a piece of fat meat right in front of us; we can eat it whenever we want!"

"Whether to devour it in one fell swoop or leave it is up to the leaders to decide."

Now that things have developed to this point, they are firmly in control and have effectively taken control of the Enterprise carrier fleet. No matter how much the other side struggles, they will not be able to escape their control.

"Yes, now it's up to the leaders to decide."

Cao Youren glanced at the radar display and said, "No matter what, the Enterprise is not the aircraft carrier of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, so we can't capture it. But we can still use it to bargain with the Eagle Tribe."

"As for the aircraft carrier Fukuno, which is still adrift at sea, we definitely can't let it go. We have to find a way to tow it back."

"Why should the Japanese not pay any price when we win the battle? The Fukuno aircraft carrier is just a small interest payment we made!"

The vice-captain nodded in deep agreement and said, "That's right, that's our naval development fund. The people of Donghuang must contribute! We've already given them face by not attacking directly at their doorstep."

After hearing this, the others all agreed that it made sense. As the victor in a war, they could make any demands they wanted, and even on the international stage, no one could object to them!
They've captured aircraft carriers more than once; they're quite adept at it, like an old horse knows the way.

They started by capturing destroyers, then expanded to capturing aircraft carriers from the Eastern Wilderness Tribe and the Thousand Buddha Tribe. It can be said that their appetite has grown bigger and bigger, and their business capabilities have become more and more mature.

"These are not things we should be considering. I believe the leader has already taken action."

Cao Youren gestured to the crowd with his hands and said solemnly, "What we need to do is continue to act cautiously, strive for final victory, and we must all return in triumph!"

Even though they were prepared to sacrifice, striving for victory and triumph was still their next task, and they absolutely could not let their guard down!

On the other side, at the Yokohama garrison base of the Higashihara tribe.

General Cruz and his men were anxiously awaiting the latest battle reports from the front lines; they were practically on tenterhooks.

The Enterprise carrier strike group is facing a shortage of ammunition and insufficient support. With nearly two hundred anti-ship missiles launching a second wave, they have no confidence in whether they can withstand the attack and are therefore anxious.

It's worth noting that when faced with the first wave of attacks from nearly 300 anti-ship missiles, two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers were destroyed by concentrated fire, let alone in the second wave of attacks.

"Sigh, now I just hope I don't hear any more horrific battle reports."

"May God bless them, and may they all get through this safely!"

General Cruz kept praying silently in his heart, and kept making the sign of the cross on his chest with his hands to show his piety.

Koro and his group were even more concerned, their anxieties about the Enterprise carrier fleet were no less than those of Admiral Cruise, the leader.

Suddenly, the communications soldier reported, "General, the latest battle report has arrived from the front!"

What? Battle reports have come back from the front?
So it's good that the Enterprise carrier fleet wasn't completely wiped out and that some people are still alive.

General Cruz and Koro were visibly relieved, finally seeing a glimmer of hope. If they had been completely wiped out, they would have had no way to explain themselves to the Great Chieftain, to the entire Eagle Tribe, or even to their Western allies!

"Quickly, tell me, what did they say?" General Koro urged.

The communications soldier quickly reported truthfully: "General, Colonel Willis reports from the front that they withstood the second wave of anti-ship missile attacks from the Longxia Navy. Our side lost six destroyers, two cruisers, and one destroyer was severely damaged, and..."

"Aside from these, the anti-aircraft missiles are almost completely used up, and the close-in weapon system ammunition is also exhausted. During their inspection just now, they found that only a few anti-aircraft missiles were preserved due to the previous malfunction of the vertical launch system, but they have now been restored to a firing state."

General Cruise's heart clenched several times upon hearing this report, and he even had difficulty breathing.

The remaining air defense capabilities of the Enterprise carrier fleet are practically nonexistent. If the Longxia Navy launches a third wave of attacks, they will all be wiped out!
Thinking of such terrible consequences, Cruise felt a chill run down his spine!
Before Cruise and the others could speak, the communications officer reported again: "Reporting to the general, Colonel Willis also stated that they have detected the presence of the Dragon Summer Air Force, and they are clearly ready to launch an attack on the carrier fleet."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Cruise and Koro nearly jumped three feet high.

The Longxia Air Force has also been deployed. Is it going to join forces to deal with the Enterprise carrier fleet?

Why are they coming to join in the fun at this time? Could it be that the Longxia Navy fleet is already exhausted? Have they run out of ammunition?

Just as everyone was wondering, the communications officer reported again: "Reporting to the general, Colonel Willis said there is no need to worry. He judged that the Longxia naval fleet may have run out of ammunition. The thirty-six carrier-based aircraft that were previously stuck in the air have not left and can completely drive away the Longxia air force on their own."

"Those few anti-aircraft missiles on the ship will also be left for use; the Longxia Air Force is nothing to worry about!"

At this point in the report, the communications soldier suddenly changed the subject, saying urgently, "Colonel Willis requested in his battle report that reinforcements arrive on the battlefield as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"He demanded that they be resupplyed before the Longxia Navy completes its ammunition resupply, otherwise they might be completely wiped out."

"He repeatedly emphasized that this was their last chance to survive!"

After hearing this report, a hint of joy flashed in Cruise's eyes, but a moment later his brows furrowed tightly. He truly had a bitter pill to swallow.

It's impossible for the USS Condor carrier strike group to send carrier-based aircraft to provide support, and the reinforcements from the garrison base won't be able to arrive before that time, as it will take at least another thirty minutes.

It can be said that they could not provide any situational support to the Enterprise carrier fleet in the short term, and the other side could only continue to fight alone and face the air force threat from the Dragonsha tribe alone!

"General, if the battle report that Willis provided to us is true..."

After pondering for a moment, Koro replied truthfully, "Without reinforcements, they can only rely on their own strength to solve the problem. They can still hold on with their existing strength."

Cruise nodded in agreement and said, "I think the same way as you. They should be able to hold on."

In any case, their carrier-based aircraft are more advanced than those of the Longxia Air Force, and they can be deployed forward to shoot down Longxia Air Force aircraft in advance to complete the counterattack mission.

"So, should we report this to headquarters?" Koro asked, frowning.

"Report it, of course we have to report it."

Without a second thought, Cruise replied truthfully, "But we can make a little fuss about the contents of this report."

Just as Cruise was deep in thought about how to write the report, the Enterprise carrier fleet, located in the waters related to the Eastern Wilderness tribe, encountered a rather strange incident.

In the main control room of the USS Enterprise, the radar monitor suddenly reported urgently: "Captain, the Dragonxia Air Force has suddenly stopped advancing and is only operating at 149 kilometers."

"What did you say? There's actually such a thing?"

Willis was completely bewildered and hurriedly ran to the radar display to check it out. Sure enough, that was the case.

"What is the Longxia Air Force doing? Are they just going to waste such a good opportunity? They should just charge straight in and make the most of it."

Willis turned to look at the vice-captain, puzzled, and asked, "Do you mean that they've discovered the trap we've laid?"

The vice-captain spread his hands and said truthfully, "Captain, I'm also confused. I have no idea what the Dragon Xia Navy's sudden stop and hesitation means."

“That’s strange, isn’t it?” Willis muttered, scratching the back of his head with his right hand.

In the first half minute, he had already contacted the garrison base, and after ending the bilateral call, he immediately issued combat orders.

His only requirement was that the carrier air wing and the carrier fleet cooperate closely to ambush the Longxia Air Force and strive for a turnaround.

No matter what, he refused to believe it. It was one thing that the Enterprise carrier fleet was caught off guard by the Longxia Navy, but did he think that the carrier air wing could not defeat the Longxia Air Force fighter squadron?
It should be noted that the Longxia Air Force is currently equipped with mainly second-generation fighter jets, and even if it has equipped itself with third-generation aircraft, it is only a very small number of them. They have a completely overwhelming advantage in fighter jet technology.

If we still can't win under these circumstances, then we might as well all go home and take care of our children.

However, this sudden situation was extremely difficult for him to accept, and he felt utterly miserable. Why were they forced to linger at 149 kilometers? Would they die if they continued?

That's right, he has already started cursing Longxia Air Force as cowards, for not daring to fight them to the death!

At this distance, the Longxia Air Force is in a very advantageous position. Taking the initiative to attack would allow them to complete their mission and then quickly disengage from the battlefield. If they don't launch an attack and immediately turn back, their carrier-based aircraft simply won't be able to catch up.

This was precisely what made Willis so unhappy; he really wanted to transform into Ultraman and shoot down Dragon Summer's air force fighter jets one by one. (End of Chapter)
