I built an armada.

"The current results are having an extremely unfavorable impact on us."

Curilla sighed deeply, saying helplessly, "All our deployments and arrangements within the Eastern Continent's sea area have failed."

"It will be impossible to use the island chain to contain the Longxia tribe in the waters of Dongzhou in the future. If we try to force it, we will suffer even greater losses."

"In a short period of time, we lost Dragon Claw Island, Sea Fish Island, and we couldn't even take Tail Island. Are we going to rely on the crippled Eastern Wilderness Tribe next? How can we withstand the rising Dragon Summer Tribe?"

The commanders remained silent, each understanding that what Kurila had said had already happened and there was no way to undo it.

Before the war broke out, they were all extremely arrogant, thinking that the Longxia tribe was too weak and had no way to defeat their powerful naval fleet. They had sent three aircraft carrier fleets, a garrison base, and military support from the Eastern Wilderness tribe.

In retrospect, they were too arrogant and vain. What to do next requires more military experts to get involved in the discussion.

Soon, a very urgent problem that needed to be solved came to their minds.

What should be done with the USS Condor carrier fleet? Is it possible that it will suffer the same fate as the USS Enterprise, becoming an isolated ship and being held hostage, leaving them humiliated once again?

Having lost two carrier fleets in succession, they could almost guess with their toes that the Great Chief and his group would be so furious they'd feel like their lungs were about to burst.

If the public finds out, there will definitely be large-scale demonstrations and protests, and even vandalism and looting everywhere. Such spectacular scenes will surely unfold in major cities one after another.

At that time, the Great Chief and many other high-ranking officials will all have to bear enormous pressure from within!
If the Great Chief and the high-ranking officials cannot vent their anger on the Dragon Summer Tribe, then they will certainly unleash their raging fury on the commanders.

In this way, these commanders in the Pacific Naval Command will become scapegoats and fall guys for the failure of the conflict in the Eastern Seas!
It's chilling to think about; at this moment, they all felt a sense of shared sorrow, a feeling of kinship with each other.

Curilla glanced at everyone, his expression turning dejected. His only worry now was that if the Condor carrier fleet lost more than half of its size, just like the Enterprise carrier fleet, the consequences he would face would be extremely serious, and he would probably lose his position as the Pacific Fleet Commander!

Taking a deep breath, Kurila licked her dry lips and asked with difficulty, "What do you think we should do next?"

These words stumped all the commanders, who fell into deep thought in silence.

They really need to think things through. The front lines have suffered such huge losses that defeat is inevitable. What can they do next?
"The USS Condor is already crippled. Next, we need to consider how to ensure the safety of the USS Condor carrier fleet. If the Dragon Xia Navy adopts the same approach as it did with the USS Enterprise carrier fleet, it will be dangerous."

"So far, they have no reinforcements and are fighting alone."

"Where is the USS Carl's carrier fleet located? Can they provide any support?"

"I've done the calculations, and I'm afraid we won't have enough time. The USS Carl carrier fleet is at least 5 hours away from the area where the USS Condor carrier fleet is located, and it will take even longer if we're slower."

"Don't forget, we also dispatched some carrier-based aircraft from the USS Carl to support the USS Enterprise. According to the timeline, they have already traveled halfway."

The commanders listened with furrowed brows. They were all aware of the matter, and it was precisely because of this that their current situation had become complicated and uncontrollable.

As they pondered, they heard General Kurila continue his eloquent speech.

"If we continue to send carrier air wing from the USS Carl to support the USS Condor carrier fleet, they will be in danger if the Dragonxia tribe sets its sights on the USS Carl. Then again, it takes time for carrier-based aircraft to take off."

"Even if one or two combat wings were to be launched, it probably wouldn't be very effective. If all of them were to be deployed, they would most likely end up facing the same isolated and helpless situation as the USS Condor."

"Even if we send reinforcements from other places, the battle will probably be over before the reinforcements even arrive on the battlefield."

After hearing Kurila's words, all the commanders felt extremely bad.

After careful consideration, they were shocked to discover that, after taking stock of all military means, it was simply impossible to provide timely support to the battlefield in a short period of time!

The fastest way to provide support to the battlefield in a very short time, across tens of thousands of kilometers, is to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile.

However, this makes it impossible for them to determine whether the Longxia tribe will make a misjudgment as a result.

If a miscalculation occurs, then the two sides will no longer be merely threatening to use nuclear weapons, but will actually engage in a back-and-forth nuclear missile exchange.

After a moment of silence, one of the commanders hesitated and then said, "Gentlemen, are we really powerless? Can't we think of any way?"

His response was a shake of the heads from the commanders, which spoke volumes.

Everyone present racked their brains but couldn't come up with a way to turn the current deadlock around; it was practically unsolvable.

Within the Dongzhou sea area, all the military means that could be used have been exhausted. Anything that had any connection with them and that they could mobilize has been wiped out by the Longxia Navy.

Whether it's the combined fleet of the Thousand Buddha Tribe and the other three countries, or the Maritime Self-Defense Force of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, the two aircraft carrier fleets, the Eight-Eight Fleet, and more than one-third of the fighter jets of the Eastern Wilderness Air Force.

In round after round of conflict, they were wiped out before they could even replenish their ranks.

So far, neither the Thousand Buddha Tribe nor the Eastern Wilderness Tribe has recovered its military strength, after all, building an army requires a lot of real money.

Even for economically powerful countries, building up various military equipment takes a long time. Moreover, these countries' economies are not very strong to begin with, so it will take even longer for them to recover to their former strength!

"Even if we're completely out of options, are we just going to sit here doing nothing?" The general took a deep breath and anxiously surveyed the crowd. "Gentlemen, our Condor carrier fleet is in a very dangerous situation! Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

Clearly, he was very anxious, but being anxious was of no use; all he could do was rage in a fit of impotence.

The situation is set in stone; even if God came in a helmet, he couldn't change anything.

Suddenly, a burly commander chimed in, "I regret not suggesting that the USS Condor and the USS Carl set off simultaneously, forming a pincer movement. Perhaps we wouldn't be in this awkward and unfavorable situation now."

His words immediately sparked discussion among the other commanders.

"Who among us could have predicted that the situation would develop to this point? In the beginning, didn't we all think that the Longxia Navy was very weak and that we should take advantage of their divided forces to attack? You should know that the Longxia tribe also possesses aircraft carrier killers. Would we have made such a risky military move?"

"It's no use regretting it now. If we could foresee the future, we would postpone the execution of the Dark Night Plan and wait until we have deployed three carrier fleets in the waters of the Eastern Continent before taking action."

"If we really want to assign blame, the Eastern Wilderness Tribe had malicious intentions from the beginning. The second military base they offered was located on Haiyu Island and Weiba Island of the Longxia Tribe. They wanted us to clash with the Longxia Navy without any adequate preparation."

"If you ask me, there's another responsibility to be investigated, and that's our intelligence department. Before the conflict, which piece of intelligence they provided showed the rapid development of the Longxia Navy? How many advanced warships did they acquire? And who knew that they would even develop an aircraft carrier killer?"

"In the end, it's all because of those damned Longxia tribes that they don't play by the rules and don't reason. How dare they develop increasingly powerful military equipment without even giving us a heads-up? They are the most despicable and hateful!"

Even if these senior commanders were unwilling to admit that the Longxia tribe had developed anti-ship ballistic missiles, the reality was that they had repeatedly caused enormous damage to aircraft carriers, earning them the reputation of being aircraft carrier killers in actual combat!
And soon, they all turned their attention to the Longxia tribe, once again demonstrating their domineering and ruthless side, believing that it was wrong and a sin for other countries on Earth, especially the Longxia tribe, to develop a strong military!
In their view, if the Longxia tribe had not mastered anti-ship ballistic missile technology, had not developed one advanced warship after another, and had not created an air-to-air missile capable of beyond-visual-range attacks, it would have been a serious problem.

Furthermore, if they hadn't seized Dragon Claw Island and established a forward base, the conflict would never have ended this way. They would still be the unbridled and powerful Eagle Tribe navy, the overlords of the Eastern Continent waters, firmly controlling the region.

They can also thoroughly humiliate the Longxia Navy once again, pointing their guns at the doorstep of the Longxia tribe. They can do whatever they want without caring about the Longxia tribe's attitude.

They were also able to complete Project Dark Night, completely destroying the Dragon Summer Tribe's nuclear weapons and preventing any intercontinental ballistic missiles from being launched!
In this way, the Eagle Tribe will be able to exert strong military pressure on the Dragon Summer Tribe!

But none of this will ever happen!
In short, they will never look for problems within themselves, and they certainly won't think there's anything wrong with their hegemonic practices!

They have once again demonstrated the arrogance of imperialist eagles, who will resort to any means necessary to be unreasonable. If they do show any reason at all, it's only out of desperation.

"Bang bang!"

Seeing that the commanders were getting more and more excited, Kurila frowned, slammed her hand on the table a few times, and finally stopped them from continuing their discussion.

"Enough! Who gave you permission to discuss this?"

Kurila's icy gaze swept over the crowd, and she reprimanded them in a gloomy tone, "Now is not the time to assign blame, but to think about how we should rescue the Condor carrier fleet."

"Will the Longxia Navy launch a saturation attack like it did with the Enterprise, completely destroying the Condor? We must reach a conclusion!"

"All of you, rack your brains and come up with a way to rescue the USS Condor and prevent it from suffering the same fate as the USS Enterprise carrier fleet."

These words silenced the high-ranking commanders who were arguing so fiercely that they all frowned and pretended to be deep in thought.

As for shirking responsibility, holding people accountable, and spouting nonsense, that's their most relaxed approach, as long as they aren't blamed for the failure.

However, they couldn't come up with a plan to rescue the USS Condor carrier fleet no matter how hard they racked their brains.

Deploying troops from the homeland to reinforce the battlefield is impossible due to the vast distance involved; it's a classic case of "distant water cannot quench immediate thirst." Even if action were to begin now, it would be too late.

"Sigh, it's pointless to ask you."

Seeing that no one spoke, Kurila shook his head helplessly. "Fine, I'll call the Chief now and report the situation truthfully."

But as soon as he picked up the satellite phone, he hesitated.

If he were to truthfully report the situation at the front to the Great Chieftain at this time, he would likely be subjected to a severe scolding, and he didn't want to suffer such humiliation and become a laughingstock among his commanders.

After pondering for a moment, he made a decision: it would be best to leave it to his subordinates, which might also serve as a buffer.

So he called his staff over, gave them some instructions, and then handed the satellite phone over to them.

Meanwhile, in the Eagle Tribe's Black Palace, the location of the Great Chief's office.

The atmosphere in the office was still relatively relaxed. No news from the front lines had arrived yet, and they were still immersed in the situation created by their previous speculations.

They all felt that Yunfan II was not targeting an aircraft carrier, but rather a military base.

As for the reasons, firstly, since the head of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe did not have a grasp of the specific movements on the battlefield, he naturally had no reason to report to the Great Chieftain and betray General Cruz at the garrison base.

Second, even though the Pacific Naval Command received the specific battle reports from the front lines immediately, it failed to report them in a timely manner.

The above two points directly caused a delay in information dissemination for the Great Chief and other high-ranking members of the Eagle Tribe. (End of Chapter)
