Chapter 888 Circumstances Force You to Compromise Whether You Want to or Not
The commanders were displeased, but none of them interrupted; instead, they listened quietly.
"Otherwise, they will open fire and make them suffer the same fate as the USS Enterprise!"
Douglas's tone suddenly turned serious. "It's clear that the Condor carrier fleet has reached its most dangerous moment, and we need an explanation. What are your thoughts?"
The commanders were already annoyed by what they heard, and now they could no longer suppress their anger.
It wasn't enough that the Enterprise carrier fleet was destroyed like that; the Dragon Xia Navy wanted to destroy the Condor carrier fleet as well. This was far too arrogant and showed no regard for the Eagle Tribe Navy.
"Damn the Dragon Xia Navy, they're going too far. They're too arrogant and have no idea who they are."
"If we let the Dragon Xia Navy continue like this, will our Eagle Tribe Navy still have a place in the Eastern Continent's waters? They even issued us an ultimatum; they are completely arrogant!"
"We cannot let the Longxia Navy do this. We absolutely cannot tolerate them. They must pay the price!"
"That's right, they must pay the price..."
Seeing the commanders' furious expressions and their increasingly unrealistic statements, General Kurila, in the chief seat, was extremely annoyed.
"bump!"
With a sudden slam of her hand on the table, Kurila snapped, "You all keep talking about making them pay the price. Come on, tell me, how are we going to make the Dragon Xia Navy pay the price?"
"Come on, you all speak! If anyone is willing, I can let him personally lead a team to the Eastern Continent waters to fight against the Dragon Xia Navy!"
"A bunch of bastards! Things are already chaotic enough, and they're still spouting unrealistic nonsense!"
These words left all the senior commanders speechless, and many even lowered their heads, not daring to look at the enraged General Kurila.
What a joke! None of them would be willing to lead troops to the Eastern Seas right now.
Isn't it better to hide in the back and issue commands?
Why risk being wiped out to go to the Eastern Continent's waters and cause trouble? Are they already tired of being humiliated, or do they have nothing better to do than turn themselves into a second Cruise, constantly worried about a medium- or short-range ballistic missile attack suddenly launched by the Dragon Summer Tribe?
Are they out of their minds? Why would they give up a peaceful life to go looking for thrills?
Seeing that no one spoke, Kurila coughed lightly and said in a heavy tone, "Gentlemen, after this battle, the situation in the Eastern Seas is different from what it used to be. We no longer hold a dominant position here."
"After the second anti-ship ballistic missile launched by the Longxia tribe hit our aircraft carrier, the USS Condor, it did not launch an attack immediately, which was obviously sending a signal to us."
"They seem to be waiting for the High Chief to make a decision, just like we are. Otherwise, they would have opened fire directly, just like they did with the Enterprise carrier fleet. Why would they give us any advance notice?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought, and upon careful consideration, they realized that it was indeed true.
Since they've maintained this state, they must have some ulterior motive, but they simply don't know what the Longxia tribe is after.
"In short, we currently have two aircraft carrier fleets in extremely dangerous situations, and it is no exaggeration to say that their lives are hanging by a thread."
"On the contrary, we still have no way to save them."
"The current situation is very unfavorable for us, and it's really difficult to handle."
Kurila felt like her head was about to explode, and she looked quite frustrated; she had never felt this way before.
The current situation has far exceeded his expectations. He had formulated many action plans, but none of them were prepared for the current situation.
A possibility they never imagined has now occurred, as if mercilessly mocking their incompetence.
Previously, regardless of which plan was implemented, there was almost an 80% chance of success. But now, without the use of nuclear weapons, there is not even a 10% chance of success!
"General, what should we do next?" a general suddenly asked.
Kurila sighed helplessly and said slowly, "Then let's do as the Dragon Summer Navy Fleet says and tell Douglas not to have any conflict with them for the time being."
"Let's see what the Great Chief decides next."
When these words were spoken, everyone felt that Kurila, who was once known as the Fierce Tiger General, was now like a defeated sick cat, listless and weak.
"Yes, General."
The relevant orders were quickly relayed to the USS Condor.
When the communications officer informed Douglas of the news, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and his anxiety eased considerably.
Clearly, he received instructions from headquarters much faster than the Enterprise carrier fleet. Douglas felt lucky that he wouldn't have to follow in the footsteps of the Enterprise carrier fleet for the time being.
He immediately instructed the communications officer: "Recall all reconnaissance aircraft immediately. Also, inform Captain Cao of the Longxia Navy that we are willing to cease hostilities."
"Yes, Captain," the communications officer replied quickly.
After giving these instructions, he told the vice-captain, "Immediately notify all ships to halt their advance and remain stationary."
"Yes, Captain."
The vice-captain immediately relayed this order through the fleet's communication channels.
The Condor carrier fleet, which had been rushing towards the battlefield with great momentum, gradually slowed down as orders were carried out, and eventually stopped advancing and remained stationary.
More than 200 kilometers away from them, in the main control room of the 3rd Combat Corps, a 10,000-ton destroyer.
In less than three minutes, the communications officer received the message: "Reporting to the captain, Douglas has sent an update. They have agreed to our request and are willing to remain in place in exchange for a ceasefire."
Upon hearing this, Cao Youren smiled slightly, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
It was truly a very satisfying military operation, achieving the goal of threatening the aircraft carrier fleet. They had spent so many years on this, and thankfully they persevered.
The key point is that the other side was very obedient and accepted the suggestion to stop the fighting. What did they rely on? Wasn't it their sheer strength? That's called power—the formidable strength to intimidate the other side!
The Longxia Navy now possesses the capability to deter the powerful Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier fleet in conjunction with the Yunfan series of short-range ballistic missiles.
Cao Youren was not at all surprised by this result.
If this had happened before the war, the other side would probably have treated it as a joke, and ultimately a major battle would have been inevitable.
However, now that the Enterprise carrier fleet has set an example, the Condor carrier fleet will hesitate and carefully consider whether it has the strength to withstand the attack of the Dragon Xia Navy.
In fact, the outcome would have been the same if any carrier fleet had come, so Douglas had no choice, unless he wanted to die.
If this guy doesn't want to, then beat him, keep beating him until he does.
The Third Combat Corps, under Cao Youren's mobilization, is prepared to fight until only one warship remains, and every sailor is ready to charge into battle!
Xu Dongguo gave him the task of holding out for at least three hours, so he would do his utmost to complete it, blocking the USS Condor in this area of sea and preventing it from advancing even an inch.
A moment later, Cao Youren instructed the communications soldier: "Contact Douglas immediately and tell him I want to speak with him to discuss the details of the ceasefire."
"Yes, Captain."
The communications soldier, having received the order, immediately sprang into action.
Meanwhile, in the main control room of the USS Condor, the communications officer immediately received the message.
"Captain, Captain Cao Youren of the Longxia Tribe requests to speak with you to discuss the details of a ceasefire."
Details of the ceasefire negotiations?
A ceasefire is a ceasefire, so why are we still negotiating the details? Are we asking them to agree to some unreasonable conditions? After all, in his view, this is a ceasefire that he had no choice but to agree to, and he was already at a disadvantage.
Douglas looked puzzled and subconsciously turned to look at the vice-captain, hoping that the other party could offer some constructive advice.
However, seeing the other party's bewildered expression, whether he was faking it or completely at a loss, made him dissatisfied. He was unreliable because the other party had let him down at the crucial moment!
It seems that the opponent is only good at winning, but not at winning. They are completely helpless when unexpected situations arise on the battlefield.
To be honest, he was very disappointed!
"catch!"
Douglas took a deep breath, strode to the communicator, and answered it directly.
The two sides immediately established communication channels.
"Captain Douglas, I am very pleased to see that you have made such a correct choice."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Cao Youren got down to business, saying, "If you had been any later, all of your reconnaissance planes would probably have been shot down."
Hearing this, Douglas was furious but also helpless. He was powerless to do anything about it, so he could only endure it and not lash out.
Seeing that Douglas did not speak, Cao Youren continued, "Given the current situation, we request that Captain Douglas restrain the USS Condor carrier fleet from remaining in place for four hours."
"Captain Douglas, I don't think this condition is too difficult, is it?"
Staying still for four hours? Wouldn't that mean waiting until dawn?
That damn bastard! This isn't a condition, it's clearly him telling me how to do things!
Douglas was furious, and he was ready to fight the Dragon Xia Navy's front-line fleet.
Agreeing to stay was a requirement from headquarters. Damn it, how dare you make such a demand? Damn it, you completely disregard me!
Even though he was burning with anger, Douglas chose to hold back, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Four hours? Why?"
"Since everyone here is smart, I won't hide anything from you."
Cao Youren smiled faintly and stated directly, "I am well aware that the USS Carl carrier fleet is en route to the war zone, hundreds of kilometers away from you."
"The timing is perfect."
These words were like a bomb, blasting Douglas to smithereens.
This was their top secret and their secret weapon, but they never expected that the Longxia tribe would find out about it.
In accordance with the previously established battle plan, and in order to catch the Longxia tribe off guard, the high command ordered the aircraft carrier fleet to launch one after another, with the Karl aircraft carrier fleet being the last to depart.
Their main purpose was to be stationed at the second military base, thus forming a dual-carrier battle group to jointly counter the rising Longxia Navy. This important information had never been made public before, and was known only to a select few. How could it have leaked?
Where exactly did things go wrong? Or has the enemy appeared within our own country?
Suddenly, he remembered something: before the war, a mysterious high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance plane had been circling in the vast sky, and the whereabouts of the USS Carl carrier fleet had naturally been discovered.
In order to take down the reconnaissance plane, Cruise at the garrison even demanded that he immediately dispatch carrier-based aircraft to intercept it.
Not only did they fail to intercept it, but they also discovered that the White Bear Tribe's air force had entered the fray, making the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic. The mysterious reconnaissance plane also managed to slip away while the chaos was raging, forcing them to return empty-handed.
"Is that the mysterious reconnaissance plane? Wasn't it said to belong to the White Bear tribe?"
Douglas frowned. "How did the Dragonxia Tribe find out? Or has the Dragonxia Tribe infiltrated their military department with intelligence agents? Or is the Dragonxia Tribe colluding with the White Bear Tribe?"
On the surface, the conflict between the two sides is public, but in reality, there are many instances of collusion between them.
Countless thoughts raced through Douglas's mind, but none of them led to a consensus, so he had no choice but to give up on speculating further.
Of course, he probably would never have imagined that the mysterious reconnaissance aircraft was the Dark Sword No. 1, specially developed by Su Dingping, and was tasked with carrying out this kind of surprise reconnaissance mission.
Without any supporting intelligence, he wouldn't consider that direction.
After all, there is only one such exception on the entire planet, and this news will never be made public. In other words, apart from the high-ranking members of the Longxia tribe, no one knows about this event.
As long as the Longxia tribe does not disclose the relevant information, the entire Blue Star nation will believe that, for a considerable period of time, apart from the Eagle tribe, only the White Bear tribe possesses such a reconnaissance aircraft.
However, the Longxia tribe was able to use Dark Sword No. 1 to do many things without anyone noticing. (End of Chapter)
