I built an armada.

The second reinforcement is really not coming!
It's ridiculous that Captain Chen's account is entirely true; he actually learned the truth about the battlefield from the enemy.

Although Cruise didn't say it outright, he understood everything from the other party's words: the Enterprise carrier fleet was in an unprecedented crisis.

The final moment of life and death was approaching, and Willis felt a chill run through his body, his heart clenching with anxiety.

He could understand why General Cruise wanted to hide it from him; he was simply worried about the morale of the troops at the front. But who could understand him? Now, this whole thing had only brought him more trouble.

He didn't know what General Cruise would do next, but time was incredibly precious to him; he only had one minute left.

After this time, their fate will be uncertain, hanging by a thread!
That's right, they are already a piece of meat in the mouth of the Longxia Navy, to be eaten whenever they want, and as meat, they have no room for resistance!
He was almost 100% certain that when the time came, the Longxia Navy would open fire without hesitation and sink them all.

The title of the Eagle Tribe, which made other countries on the blue planet tremble, has no effect on the Dragon Summer Tribe. They can only be beaten!

Suddenly, the communications officer urgently reported: "Captain, General Koro has sent an update, requesting that our unit strive to gain more time. General Cruise has already contacted headquarters urgently to inquire about countermeasures."

Willis let out a long sigh, his face filled with sorrow and helplessness!
He also wanted to buy more time, preferably until dawn, but would the Longxia Navy agree so easily? Did they really think the Longxia people were fools?
When this request was made, wouldn't the Longxia people think that they were deliberately stalling for time, waiting for more reinforcements to arrive, thus increasing the uncertainty of the battlefield?

The first mate quickly said, "Captain, why don't we try to persuade them? Maybe they'll agree. We're already at their mercy anyway."

After hesitating for a moment, Willis said helplessly, "Well, let's give it a try first. Maybe they'll agree. In any case, we're being very sincere. Nobody wants to die without knowing why, right?"

Then he turned to the communications officer and ordered, "Contact the Longxia Navy and tell them I have something important to discuss with them."

Meanwhile, inside the main control room of the 10,000-ton destroyer of the First Combat Corps.

Fleet communications have been established, and Captain Chen, Captain Dong, and others are discussing the next steps.

"Old Chen, I don't think Willis and his gang will surrender so easily. After all, they are the proud Eagle Tribe and the strongest navy on Earth," Captain Dong said with concern.

After the two sides established contact, Captain Chen recounted all the communication he had done with Willis, which inevitably made Captain Dong lack confidence in Willis and his team.

You have to understand that before tonight, the Eagle Tribe Navy dominated the entire Blue Star Ocean, and could be said to be able to do whatever they wanted on the entire Blue Star. But now they have been suddenly beaten into this state.

The huge psychological gap, coupled with their previously established arrogant mindset, may make it difficult for Willis and his men to change their ways quickly, and forcing them to surrender may not be so easy!
"It's alright, they have no other choice. Their lives are in our hands."

Captain Chen said confidently, "Besides, we have completely seized the initiative on the battlefield. They don't dare to gamble on whether we can sink all the remaining warships of the Enterprise carrier fleet in one fell swoop."

“They know better than anyone that we dared to do this.”

Before the war, the name "Eagle Tribe" might have been a bit intimidating to the sailors of the Dragon Xia Navy, but that was all they were afraid of. Now, however, they no longer have that kind of timidity.

It can be said that the mentality of the Longxia Navy sailors has been completely changed after this battle. From now on, they will no longer be afraid of the strongest navy on this blue planet.

This battle was of profound significance to the Longxia Navy, and it also had a profound impact on the Eagle Tribe!
Suddenly, the communications officer reported: "Captain, the USS Enterprise requests to speak with us again, saying it has important matters to discuss."

"Oh? So fast?"

Captain Chen was visibly stunned, feeling that things were going too smoothly and that it was somewhat unreal.

He had already prepared for a tug-of-war between the two sides, expecting it to take some time and wear down the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to be so impatient.

"catch."

After a moment's thought, Captain Chen agreed.

It wasn't long before the two sides re-established communication.

Captain Chen cut to the chase, saying directly, "Mr. Willis, shouldn't you give me a satisfactory answer?"

Upon hearing this, Willis was at a loss for words. After stammering for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Captain Chen, it's like this, I have something I need to discuss with you."

"Oh? You want to discuss this with me?"

Captain Chen was taken aback for a moment, then snorted inwardly. Sure enough, things weren't going so smoothly. He then said, "What is it? Tell me."

Actually, he wasn't surprised at all; on the contrary, he remained confident.

"This matter, well, it's a long story."

Willis coughed lightly twice, trying to remain calm, and slowly explained, "It's like this..."

Upon hearing this, Captain Chen immediately understood what the other party meant. This was clearly a stalling tactic. He interrupted him directly: "Mr. Willis, then stop dawdling and get to the point. What exactly do you want?"

"Are you trying to stall for time on purpose?"

Upon hearing that his little scheme had been exposed, Willis immediately lost face and coughed several times.

Sure enough, the other party guessed it, and things are going to get complicated from here on out.

"No, you can't say that. I'm not trying to stall for time."

Willis hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and carefully explained, "You know I'm just a frontline commander. I can't make decisions on something as big as surrendering. So, I just reported the matter truthfully."

"This will take a little time, just a little, so I hope you can be accommodating and give us some more time. What do you think?"

"Could you give me some more time?"

Captain Chen smiled noncommittally, "It's not that it's definitely impossible. But..."

Hearing this, Willis breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as this matter could be resolved, things would be much easier from there.

"But what is it? Please enlighten me, Captain Chen," Willis said hastily.

"My requirements are simple: not a single warship in the Enterprise carrier fleet may retreat even a single step," Captain Chen said solemnly. "Our radar has been monitoring your every move. If we detect any sign of retreat, we will not hesitate to open fire and sink you completely!"

"I only have one condition, do you agree or not? Of course, you can also try to see if we can solve this problem for you once and for all."

Can't we pull back?
Willis frowned deeply as he weighed the pros and cons.

After thinking it over carefully, he felt that it wasn't impossible to agree to this. Anyway, Cruise asked him to stall for time as much as possible, so he figured he might as well buy himself some extra time.

At this point, we can only take it one step at a time.

The first mate whispered a reminder: "Captain, I think we can still agree to their request."

"Actually, whether we retreat or not doesn't have a big impact on us. With the speed of our aircraft carrier fleet, even if we retreat at full speed, we probably won't be able to escape the maximum range of Longxia Navy's anti-ship missiles in a short time."

"Even if our first reinforcements arrive, there are only 67 fighter jets. If we take the risk and anger them, the consequences will be unfavorable for us."

“We have already handed over the decision-making power to our superiors, so let them decide our future. We just need to follow orders.”

These words essentially weighed the pros and cons and presented them to Willis.

Captain Willis's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision, choosing to agree with the first mate's proposal.

"Captain Chen, we fully agree not to retreat. But how much more time are you willing to grant me?"

“Since you’re cooperating so readily, I won’t be stingy. I’ll give you another five minutes. Five minutes is plenty of time. There’s still plenty of time between your headquarters making a decision and relaying it to you,” Captain Chen said bluntly.

Five minutes? That's way too short! You can't get much done in that time.

Even the first reinforcements took at least six minutes to arrive.

"Captain Chen, five minutes is too short, it needs at least ten minutes."

Willis quickly stated his demands, "I assure you, we will not retreat an inch or take any other action."

"Only five minutes, not a second more," Captain Chen said righteously.

"ten minutes!"

Willis gritted his teeth, still wanting to try, and insisted.

Captain Chen said bluntly, "Mr. Willis, have you forgotten your current predicament? With a single order, you will all sink to the bottom of the sea! Do you have any room for negotiation with me?"

"I'll say it again, you only have five minutes! You have no choice but to accept it!"

These words nearly made Willis so angry he almost died from internal bleeding; they were simply too much.

"you!"

Willis gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. Captain Chen was telling the truth. As long as the other side launched an anti-ship missile attack, a very small number of anti-ship missiles would be enough to send them to meet their maker!
If the situation were reversed, and he had the initiative in his own hands, he would definitely be even more aggressive and uncompromising than Captain Chen!
Despite his displeasure, Willis gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, five minutes it is!"

Captain Chen smiled and said, "Alright, five minutes from now, Captain Willis, I'd like to hear good news from you."

After saying this, without waiting for Willis to say anything more, Captain Chen cut off the call and turned to the radar monitor, ordering, "Keep an eye on the Enterprise carrier fleet. If they don't slow down or retreat, open fire and take down one of their ships."

"Yes, Captain!" the radar monitor replied.

The first mate walked up slowly, looking worried. "Captain, what if they still haven't given us a definite answer in five minutes?"

Captain Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "That's even simpler. We'll just do things at our own pace and cooperate with headquarters' arrangements."

"If five minutes pass, then shoot down one of their warships!"

"We'll stick to the agreement: if they don't respond within the first five minutes, we'll sink one of their warships!"

"If they still haven't given a response in the second five minutes, then shoot down another warship. I don't believe they don't care about their own warships."

"They no longer have the courage to retreat, so they are just a piece of meat in our mouths, to be eaten whenever we want."

At this point, Captain Chen looked at everyone and said calmly, "Now that we have the initiative on the battlefield, we must make full use of this power."

"We must shatter their confidence bit by bit and thoroughly demonstrate the might of the Longxia Navy!"

"We are now sitting comfortably, and they are the ones who should be worried. Don't worry, they will not let an aircraft carrier fleet be destroyed by us."

The deputy captain agreed with this and naturally made the arrangements.

Meanwhile, inside the main control room of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier.

Willis's face was incredibly dark. He paced back and forth, looking preoccupied and seething with anger that he couldn't vent.

"The Dragon Xia Navy is too arrogant! They've gone too far! They've gone too far! We are the Eagle Tribe, the strongest navy on Blue Star! How dare they be so audacious!" The vice-captain broke down completely, shouting angrily.

Willis flung his arm away, clearly annoyed, and said, "Why are you so angry? Do you even know our situation? Instead of wasting your energy yelling here, you should be thinking about how to get out of this predicament and take control!"

"Time's up. Let's try to buy the Longxia Navy one more minute of breathing room. I can do it, can you?"

Faced with Willis's rebuttal, the vice-captain was speechless, his eyes wide open, his face full of black lines.

He couldn't understand why his simple complaint had provoked the captain to such a furious reaction. Could it be that after their conversation, the captain had undergone a gender reassignment and been captured by the Dragon Xia people? (End of Chapter)
