I built an armada.

Clearly, he hadn't paid much attention to the subtle shift in his mindset just now, because he felt the current situation was very favorable.

Seeing the smile on Anthony's face, Richard knew very well that the other party was not mentally prepared at all, and didn't even know about this matter.

That's precisely why he found it somewhat troublesome. Once this news was revealed, he was certain that Anthony's smile would instantly crumble, replaced by shock and horror.

It's even highly likely that they'll be stunned on the spot.

However, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to report the specifics.

So he took several deep breaths and, steeling himself, reported: "Prime Minister, the Eagle Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department has released a new announcement."

"Oh, that's a good thing."

Anthony thought the announcement from the Eagle Tribe's foreign affairs department was an expression of support for the seven European countries and a condemnation of the White Bear Tribe. "The content should be that the Eagle Tribe strongly condemns the White Bear Tribe's shameless behavior and is preparing to send troops to help stop the White Bear Tribe's aggression, right?"

“I already know about this. I just spoke with the chief on the phone. It’s nothing serious.”

After saying this, he waved his hand with great ease, "Richard, you don't need to be so nervous. Are you too tired? After we finish these few days of work, I'll give you a break to rest."

Even at this moment, Anthony still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and Richard also realized that the other party had misunderstood, which led to such a big misunderstanding.

“Prime Minister, if I may be so bold, that’s not what they announced,” Richard quickly corrected.

"Not these?"

Prime Minister Antony looked somewhat surprised, rested his chin on his right hand as he thought for a moment, and finally asked in confusion, "What did the announcement say?"

At this moment, Anthony's eyes showed a hint of seriousness, clearly indicating that he was now focused.

Richard quickly reported at top speed: "The announcement said that in order to end the conflict in the Eastern Seas as soon as possible, the Eagle Tribe and the Dragon Summer Tribe will hold friendly consultations."

"Based on our interpretation of the content, we have found that the Eagle Tribe is very likely at a disadvantage in this conflict, and they seem eager to extricate themselves from it!"

Upon hearing this, the last trace of a smile on Anthony's face froze completely, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"What, what did you say? Is this true?"

Anthony couldn't sit still any longer. He suddenly stood up, staring intently at Richard, and hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, let me see it."

Richard quickly handed over the relevant intelligence documents. Anthony only glanced at them before his eyes widened to the size of bull's testicles, his face filled with horror.

He felt as if he had been hit hard in the back, and his whole head was buzzing.

This intelligence document contains not only the announcement issued by the Eagle Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department, but also relevant intelligence collected by the intelligence bureau from various sources.

Previously, this information was very scattered and seemed to have no connection. However, after being integrated, it was all connected and a completely new conclusion was reached.

In other words, all their previous inferences based on those dubious reports were invalidated, and their previous excitement and joy were all superfluous and ridiculous.

"No, no, that's impossible!"

"It's understandable that the Eastern Wilderness Tribe lost again, since they were weak before and were beaten up by the Dragon Xia Navy several times. But why did the Eagle Tribe Navy also suffer a setback?"

"From the perspective of national interests, the Great Chief will put the Eastern Wilderness Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet at the forefront no matter what, and the first thing to be destroyed will be the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet."

"Chaos suddenly broke out at the military base. Cruz and his group were terrified and frantically ran towards the air-raid shelter. It seems a major incident has occurred... How could this be? Are the Dragon Summer Tribe really that crazy?"

"There's more: the Eagle Tribe is in a bad situation in the naval conflict. They are the strongest navy on Blue Star. What is the Dragon Summer Navy? How could this be the result? It must be fake news, a rumor."

Anthony became increasingly agitated as he spoke, each sentence forcefully denying the intelligence he had gathered. His voice grew louder and louder until it almost reached the point of a frantic roar.

Richard could clearly feel more and more saliva being sprayed on his face, feeling extremely helpless and bitter.

“Prime Minister, when I first came across this intelligence, I also had my doubts. However, after comprehensive analysis and corroboration from various sources, I found that this intelligence was true,” Richard explained, taking a deep breath.

Even though he felt extremely bitter and didn't want to believe it was all true, the situation was just like that, very real and cruel.

Upon hearing this, Anthony didn't say a word. Instead, he slowly sat down again, carefully reviewed the intelligence documents, and conducted a thorough analysis.

The more he looked, the more shocking it became, and his heart sank to the bottom, completely overturning his preconceived notions!
These intelligence reports do not explicitly show the true situation of the conflict that occurred in the Eastern Continent Sea, nor do they show the gains and losses of the Eastern Wilderness tribes in the war. However, after comprehensive analysis, a conclusion can be naturally drawn.

All their previous deductions were wrong, and the situation was going in the opposite direction from what they had imagined!

The truth is, it's like a merciless mockery of them.

Anthony's mind was in turmoil. He stood there like a dazed man for a long time without moving, as if someone had suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on him, leaving him feeling cold from head to toe!
Given the vast disparity in military strength, how did the conflict end up like this? The conflict was raging, so why did it suddenly come to an abrupt halt?

The conflicts within the Dongzhou sea area have all ceased, so how should they fight on their side?
The combined fleet of the seven nations mobilized three-quarters of their resources, including several aircraft carriers of varying sizes, to intercept the Dragon Summer Tribe's expeditionary fleet. If the Eagle Tribe had announced earlier that the conflict would end this way, would they have needed to send a fleet to fight at sea? Wouldn't it have been better to operate directly on their doorstep, utilizing the firepower advantage of their army and air force?

Those who have experienced the benefits of waiting in comfort know how enjoyable it is, yet they insist on choosing this thankless and exhausting approach. If the Longxia Navy Expeditionary Fleet were to go mad, wouldn't their situation be extremely dire?
Good heavens, now we're caught in a pincer movement, and we might end up pleasing neither side, making this the worst possible course of action.

At this moment, Anthony felt an urge to curse, and the bitterness in his heart made him feel extremely uncomfortable!

If the Longxia Navy manages to defeat the combined forces of the Eagle Tribe and the Eastern Wilderness Tribe with only one-third of its remaining troops, even if it is only a Pyrrhic victory, it would be the worst possible news for them!
They all knew very well that the Eagle Tribe was always extremely domineering and would never be reasonable unless they suffered a loss.

In the announcement released by the Eagle Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department, not only was the tone lowered to a new level, but it also subtly indicated that the Eagle Tribe had no choice but to make concessions.

Once the news reaches the expeditionary fleet, it will have a huge impact on their combat effectiveness and morale. Under these circumstances, interception will become a major problem, and they will encounter unprecedented difficulties; the situation is dire for them!
Anthony didn't believe that the combined fleet of the seven nations could match the combat power of two 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleets from the Eagle Tribe.

The revenge of the Longxia tribe is destined to be insane; just thinking about it makes Anthony's heart tremble!

According to their original plan, one-third of the Longxia Navy's forces remaining at home were defeated by the US-Japan alliance, while the Longxia expeditionary fleet that went to the European waters was defeated by their seven-nation alliance.

Combined, the Longxia Navy, even if not completely annihilated, will suffer severe damage.

Under these circumstances, even if the Longxia tribe wanted to launch a retaliatory operation, it would have to postpone it for a long time. After all, without advanced warships, it would be very difficult to carry out sustained fire strikes against the Europa Sea area, which is thousands of kilometers away.

Unless an intercontinental ballistic missile attack is launched, which would mean an escalation of the war and a nuclear war of mutual destruction, something that not everyone wants to see or do.

Once they have thoroughly mastered the core technologies of the advanced warships equipped by the Longxia Navy, they will no longer fear any retaliatory actions.

The reason they are making such a fuss is precisely because they fear the increasing number of advanced warships that the Longxia Navy is equipped with.
But now, the Longxia Navy has finished fighting the battle on their doorstep and won a great victory. If reinforcements come to their aid, the pressure on them will be even greater.

What's more, now the White Bear tribe in the north has suddenly launched an attack, and they are almost at their breaking point.

If a two-front war were to break out, even with their abundant resources, they wouldn't be able to withstand such a frenzied expenditure. In the end, they would only have one outcome: surrender!

The situation has clearly developed in a direction that was unexpected and the last thing they wanted to see!
Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg of the truth revealed by the intelligence agency. If Anthony knew that the Dragon Summer Tribe had defeated three carrier fleets with only one-third of its naval strength and some support, he would probably be scared out of his wits.

Seeing that Anthony remained silent for a long time, Richard braced himself and tentatively asked, "Prime Minister, what should we do next?"

Hearing this, Anthony was even more distressed. What could he do? Things were already out of control.

He's not God. Even if God came, he probably wouldn't be able to think of a better solution right now.

"Gulu, what should we do?"

Anthony's throat bobbed several times before he finally uttered these words, as if he were questioning Richard, or perhaps himself.

At that moment, his mind was in complete chaos and he couldn't think of any solutions.

"Quickly contact the leaders of the other six countries. I need to hold an online meeting with them immediately to discuss countermeasures. Hurry!" After a moment, Anthony came to his senses and hurriedly gave the order.

"Yes, Prime Minister."

After receiving the order, Anthony immediately made arrangements as quickly as possible.

Not long after, the leaders of the seven countries gathered in the online conference room, and almost everyone looked anxious, clearly having been informed of the relevant news beforehand.

The atmosphere at this meeting was noticeably more awkward and somber compared to previous ones.

Even after quite some time had passed, no one spoke, as if their mouths were taped shut. In reality, they simply didn't know what to say.

The situation has now far exceeded their expectations, and all the joy built on erroneous assumptions has collapsed!
On the other side, in the air-raid shelter of the Eastern Wilderness tribe, in the conference room next to the command hall.

The head of the cabinet sat in the chief seat, anxiously waiting with a group of cabinet ministers. They had been trying to contact General Cruz at the military base, hoping to get some information about the changing situation from him.

In any case, although air-raid shelters are connected to the outside world, they are far less convenient than the Cabinet Building. Many messages cannot be gathered from all directions to this place, which is equivalent to being in a semi-isolated state from the outside world.

As for the progress of the battle on the front lines, whether the two countries were continuing to fight or had already decided the outcome, almost nothing was clear, which caused great mental and physical torment!

If they could get some information from Cruise, they would have a better understanding of the situation and wouldn't act blindly.

Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual. The communications soldier has made several calls, but the military base seems to be out of contact; no one answers the phone.

Even the head of the cabinet personally intervened, but the call was cut off before he could say a word, clearly indicating that the other party simply didn't want to answer! Is this some kind of weird phenomenon?
If they hadn't already learned from intelligence that the garrison base hadn't encountered any attacks from the Longxia tribe, they probably would have thought that Cruz and the others had been killed in the explosion.

The situation was too abnormal, and they all became uneasy. An ominous premonition spread in everyone's hearts, just like a plague, which made them even more uncomfortable!
"Reporting to the chief, we still haven't been able to contact General Cruz," the communications officer reported as he ran over.

"Nani?"

The cabinet chief's brow furrowed even more, his mood worsening. "Why is this happening? What on earth is going on outside?" (End of Chapter)
