I built an armada.

Besides consolidating maritime defense, the main purpose of the navy is to extend the scope of maritime defense indefinitely.

The larger this safe zone is, the more space the Longxia tribe can have for safe development; otherwise, they will not have peace.

The crowd was even more excited, filled with heroic spirit and boundless energy!

All that we have achieved so far is thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Longxia people. They withstood immense pressure and even sacrificed many lives to create this new situation.

From now on, any powerful enemy that wants to show off in front of the Longxia tribe will have to pay a corresponding price.

Even on the planet Earth, this is a unique case! Aside from the Dragon Xia tribe, which other nation on Earth truly possesses this killer weapon?

Even during the Soviet era, its powerful military industry could not produce such a weapon of mass destruction. Countering enemy aircraft carriers still relied on a massive number of various anti-ship missiles for saturation attacks, simply relying on numerical superiority.

In contrast, the Yunfan series of anti-ship ballistic missiles are so fast that the enemy has no way to intercept them; a single missile is enough to kill the enemy!

Many people have a strong premonition that they will witness the Dragonxia Tribe rising to the top of the world again in their lifetime!
Suddenly, the vice-captain gave an urgent report: "Captain, the reconnaissance planes that took off from the Eagle Tribe Condor are still searching for our location, and they are only 139 kilometers away from our position."

"Should we shoot it down?"

Cao Youren glanced at the radar display and indeed spotted the reconnaissance planes conducting a sea sweep. Clearly, they had not given up their reconnaissance activities in the area, and their sinister intentions were obvious.

At this distance, if it were daytime, they would have a very high probability of being detected by optical radar.

"Not for now. If they continue to cause trouble, then eliminate the target at 120 kilometers!"

A moment later, Cao Youren issued the combat order: "Anyone who tries to reconnoiter and locate us will pay a price."

"Yes, Captain!"

The deputy captain immediately made arrangements for the matter after receiving the order.

In this age of "detect and destroy," such behavior by reconnaissance aircraft is undoubtedly the greatest provocation against them and must be eliminated.

On the other side, in the waters related to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, the aircraft carrier Bald Eagle was wandering around. Its speed had obviously decreased, and chaos reigned on the deck. The huge crater left by the explosion was so glaring, and the smoke was still billowing up.

Even so, there were still many people on deck performing damage control; they were all highly trained.

It must be said that the naval soldiers of the Eagle Tribe at this time were of very high quality, but they were powerless in the face of such a huge bomb crater.

Although the island superstructure survived the attack, the glass was shattered by the shockwave of the explosion, and the floor of the main control room was a complete mess, a truly horrific sight.

Looking at the devastation on the deck through the porthole, Douglas was almost in tears. The anti-ship ballistic missiles launched by the Dragon Summer Tribe were incredibly accurate, blasting a huge crater into the deck and flipping it over, completely rendering the aircraft unable to take off or land.

Douglas felt his heart was broken. His only relief was that he was still alive and the entire island had not been destroyed, and the radar and other equipment were intact.

Fortunately, the anti-ship ballistic missile was also equipped with a conventional warhead, and it only hit the deck; otherwise, he would have been killed.

Not long after, the deputy captain came over to report on the specific losses suffered.

"Captain, our losses have been tallied."

The vice-captain reported solemnly that after the attack, he had searched everywhere and finally found out the extent of the damage.

"How is it?" Douglas asked hurriedly.

After glancing at the documents, the first officer reported truthfully: "Nine carrier-based aircraft suffered very serious damage, 12 sustained minor damage, and the rest were lost..."

After hearing the report, Douglas's face turned deathly pale. He sighed heavily and said nothing.

The damage to the carrier-based aircraft is secondary; the main problem is that the aircraft carrier is completely paralyzed. Even if it returns to port for repairs, it will take at least half a year to recover. In other words, the earliest the USS Condor can carry out combat missions is at least half a year from now.

However, based on the intelligence obtained earlier, after the ballistic missile hit the aircraft carrier, the Longxia Navy will inevitably launch its most intense attack, which will be hundreds of anti-ship ballistic missiles, launched in two waves.

The saturation attack caused huge problems for the entire carrier fleet's air defense system. Once the air defense missiles were exhausted, the carrier fleet became easy prey.

At that point, it wouldn't just be the Enterprise carrier that needed support; the Condor carrier fleet would also be in dire need of assistance.

Previously, the Enterprise carrier strike group received support from fighter jets dispatched from its garrison base, as well as from its own carrier air wing, and even from the USS Carl, which was lagging behind.

Now that they've fallen to this state, all of the above support is unreliable. The only thing they can count on is the USS Carl carrier fleet.

Perhaps they can provide support in a short time, not by sending the entire fleet, but by requesting that their carrier-based aircraft form a wing to provide support as soon as possible.

However, he is now praying that another Dragon Xia Navy ambush fleet will not suddenly appear along the way!
"Fuck, how much time has passed? How did we go from being on the offensive to being on the defensive with everything restricted?"

Douglas's face was filled with frustration and sorrow. "Why is this happening? What exactly happened?"

He was truly helpless, not understanding why, when they were the number one military power on Earth, with an invincible navy that was practically untouchable, they would join forces with all the military forces of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe to attack the Dragon Xia Navy in the Eastern Continent Sea.

Despite the intelligence they received indicating that less than a third of the Longxia navy's forces remained at home, making it a battle they could have easily won, the situation has deteriorated to the point where they are now forced into a defensive posture.

The key point is that the Longxia people have already grasped the biggest weakness of the aircraft carrier fleet. They directly paralyzed the aircraft carrier with a single anti-ship ballistic missile, and the entire fleet immediately fell into a desperate mode of passive defense.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Douglas was so angry he almost vomited blood. He hurriedly ordered, "Pass down the order: all carrier-attached ships must switch to air defense mode immediately!" In fact, he didn't know if the Dragon Xia Navy had any plans to withdraw the Condor carrier fleet. If he had known, he wondered what he would have thought.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the communications soldier immediately relayed the relevant commands.

Douglas then instructed the first officer, "Pass down the order: everyone conduct damage control. Save as much as you can."

As he spoke, he felt as if most of his strength had been used up, and he was utterly dejected and powerless. At this moment, he was filled with impotent rage and a sense of helplessness.
"Yes, Captain."

The deputy captain immediately organized more personnel to carry out damage control operations in an effort to minimize the losses and ensure that the aircraft carrier could maintain at least its self-propulsion capability.

After arranging all the matters, the vice-captain ran over again and said, "Captain, what about the Longxia Navy..."

"Okay, I understand."

Douglas waved his hand to interrupt, gritting his teeth as he replied, "I'm trying to figure something out!"

Having already fallen to this point, what can he do? He has no ability to launch a counterattack; he can only defend.

"Captain, what I want to say is that our reconnaissance aircraft are still searching for the Longxia Navy fleet."

Even after being reprimanded, the first officer still braced himself and reported, "Should we inform them that the aircraft carrier has been attacked?"

The USS Condor is in a state of paralysis. Its deck has been severely damaged and it is unable to carry out take-off and landing operations for carrier-based aircraft. If the reconnaissance aircraft at the front line run out of fuel and there is no airport nearby to land, then the reconnaissance aircraft will eventually crash from the sky due to lack of fuel.

In addition, even if any carrier-based aircraft survive, they will be unable to take off for combat. Those aircraft on patrol can only carry out one strike mission.

Under such extreme conditions, even if the Longxia naval fleet is discovered, is it worthwhile to send carrier-based aircraft on patrol and surveillance missions to attack it?
In any case, the Longxia naval fleet remains stationed in the relevant waters, and its anti-aircraft missiles have not been used even once since the ammunition resupply.

He is now very worried that once those carrier-based aircraft launch an attack, they will encounter a fierce counterattack from the Longxia Navy's related fleets, and in that case, the entire carrier-based air wing will be wiped out.

Moreover, the Longxia Navy will definitely not give up easily; they will launch a full-scale attack, and the Longxia Navy will likely experience the kind of fear that comes with the end of the world.

The fate of the USS Condor carrier fleet may even be more tragic than that of the USS Enterprise!

They had absolutely no room for maneuver, and in the end, they would all die a tragic death, making it a losing proposition.

"damn it."

Douglas did not respond to the vice-captain's words, but instead said with great displeasure, "If we could have made contact with the Dragonxia Navy Fleet at this time, things wouldn't have developed into the worst possible situation."

"Never mind, let's report it first."

The deputy captain quickly replied, "Yes, sir."

Hululu Island, the location of the Pacific Naval Command.

The atmosphere in the conference room was unusually eerie. Even after so much time had passed, no one spoke, and everyone's face was filled with gloom.

At that moment, a communications soldier with a grave expression strode over and relayed the message from the USS Condor.

"Reporting to the general, this is the situation: the USS Condor is now disabled. A large hole has been blown in the deck, making battlefield damage control impossible," the communications officer reported gravely.

After hearing this, Kurila and the others didn't say a word, but their faces were extremely ugly.

Two aircraft carriers were hit precisely in a row. What can they say now? That it was luck, that it was a coincidence? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
Moreover, judging from this victory, the Longxia tribe has clearly mastered anti-ship ballistic missile technology and is able to locate and precisely attack aircraft carrier fleets.

Calling this ballistic missile a carrier killer is no exaggeration. It's as if they used an aircraft carrier to verify the maturity of the Longxia tribe in this technology!
They are now absolutely certain that all the predictions made by the High Chief and his staff have failed; they have lost their gamble, and lost everything.

"It seems that not only did we lose, but the Great Chief and his people also lost their bet."

General Kurila glanced around at everyone and said helplessly, his face full of frustration.

All the commanders present agreed with this statement, but there was no point in saying it now, so it was better not to say anything. Now it was up to the chieftain and the think tank to come up with some ideas.

The chieftain's true intention was to take a gamble!
They believed that the anti-ship ballistic missile launched by the Dragonshark tribe hitting the USS Enterprise was merely a fluke and a coincidence. This forced them to mobilize almost all of their two carrier strike groups, along with the troops stationed at their bases, to provide support.

We must force the Longxia tribe to reveal all their trump cards so they can do whatever they want.

The result was obvious: the Great Chieftain's gamble failed, and another of their carrier fleets followed in the footsteps of the Enterprise carrier fleet.

This also means that their military operation against the Longxia Navy in the waters of Dongzhou has completely failed.

In just over an hour, two aircraft carriers were lost in succession.

This is not just a simple matter of losing two aircraft carriers on the surface; it directly reduces the combat power of two carrier fleets by half.

That's a carrier fleet guarded by Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, a force that other countries fear like a tiger!
They were known for being able to roam freely in any sea area in the world, and they even joined forces with the Eastern Wilderness Tribe to launch a campaign to strangle the Dragon Xia Navy. However, they were instead defeated by the combined attack of the Dragon Xia Navy and anti-ship ballistic missiles, and were completely powerless to fight back!
The anti-ship ballistic missile developed by the Longxia tribe single-handedly crippled the Eagle tribe's proud aircraft carrier, directly shaking the Eagle tribe's dominant position.

They had previously boasted that their aircraft carrier fleet was invincible, and that no weapon on Earth could cripple an aircraft carrier. This was a slap in the face to them! (End of Chapter)
