I built an armada.

Needless to say, they will definitely become bargaining chips in the hands of the Longxia tribe during negotiations.

They haven't yet figured out that the Fukuno aircraft carrier has been targeted by the Longxia Navy, which plans to tow it back and continue its construction in the same way they handled the first aircraft carrier, and then resell it to countries that need it.

Besides the aircraft carrier, there is also a destroyer, which, even if not sold, will be used as a target ship to further familiarize naval soldiers with the equipment characteristics of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

In this battle, they suffered even greater losses, with the Longxia Navy not only capturing warships but also taking a large number of prisoners!

If the head of the cabinet and other cabinet members found out, they'd probably be spitting blood to relieve their pent-up anger. In their eyes, this was an utterly shameful act, to the point that they'd rather those people had died in battle.

The Eagle Tribe has already taken the initiative to seek peace, so what right do they have to continue bargaining? They'll probably have to negotiate with the Dragon Summer Tribe on their knees, and the final compensation will undoubtedly exceed a staggering ten billion US dollars.

Thinking of all this, the head of the cabinet felt a pang of heartache, and his mood plummeted to its lowest point. The losses were simply too great, too great for him to bear.

At this moment, he was already praying that the goddess Amaterasu would once again favor the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, and that the Great Chieftain would extend a helping hand to them in this critical moment. After all, the two countries were allies, and the Eastern Wilderness Tribe was considered a watchdog by many!

Regardless, considering all this, we should at least offer some consideration, right? To avoid making them lose face too much!
Just as everyone present was filled with sorrow and bitterness, a bald cabinet member suddenly spoke up: "What exactly is the situation at the front so far? The announcement says it's a peace negotiation, but there should be some reason, right? The arrogance of the Eagle Tribe is notorious throughout the world."

"They actually humbled themselves and were willing to negotiate peace with the Longxia people. So the question is, which side won the battle? Was it the Eagle Tribe, or..."

A minister with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks suddenly trembled, responding in terror, "You, what did you say? The Dragon Summer Tribe has... won?"

"I didn't say that!"

The bald cabinet member instinctively retorted, "You said it, don't get me into trouble."

"No, that's impossible. There's absolutely no way that could happen!"

"Exactly, if the Dragon Xia Navy can defeat us, how could it possibly defeat the Eagle Tribe's two aircraft carrier fleets?"

"That's our Eagle Tribe father! Their navy is invincible on the entire Blue Star, while the Dragon Xia navy is nothing! How could they possibly win?"

The ministers reacted as if their sore spot had been touched, instinctively denying the truth. Even if the truth were presented to them, they probably wouldn't believe it.

Of course, it's not that I don't believe it, but rather that I dare not believe it and am unwilling to believe it!
The news that the two sides were about to hold peace talks was clearly beyond their comprehension and acceptance.

If the Longxia tribe wins this conflict, it will be the beginning of a nightmare for the Eastern Wilderness tribe and for each of them personally!
Not only were all cabinet members completely panicked, but even the ordinary people in the Eastern Wilderness who were watching the situation unfold were all bewildered and dumbfounded.

Previously, they were incredibly arrogant on the internet, even making shocking statements such as that even if God himself were to step in with a helmet, he couldn't prevent the complete annihilation of the Dragon Xia Navy!
Who would have thought that the Eagle Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department would suddenly issue such an announcement, stating that they wanted to negotiate peace with the Dragon Summer Tribe? Even they knew perfectly well what the word "negotiation" meant.

Although the announcement didn't specify which side had won or lost, the tone was unmistakably tragic. This only made them more confused.

On numerous online platforms of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, countless netizens are enthusiastically discussing this extremely bizarre announcement!
"No, this can't be! I can't accept this outcome. We clearly had the absolute advantage, so why the sudden peace talks? Is this how the conflict ends? Wasn't the plan to annihilate the Longxia navy and then come knocking on their door to demand our spoils?"

"The Longxia Navy only has a few dilapidated ships. They took advantage of our defeat and blocked our gates for several days. Now that we are strong, and with the Eagle Tribe Navy determined to storm our gates and crush the Longxia Navy, this is the direction the situation should be heading. Why are they now seeking peace? This is completely different from what we predicted."

"Can anyone tell me what happened in this conflict at sea? Why did they suddenly stop fighting? Right now, the Eagle Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department has only made a statement, which shouldn't mean much, since it's only one side. Now we just have to wait for the Dragon Xia Foreign Affairs Department to release a statement. Only when both sides confirm it will it be true."

"Actually, what I'm most looking forward to right now is knowing just how much the Longxia tribe has lost. Ideally, their entire navy would be wiped out, all their warships sunk, forcing them back to the era of sampans. Otherwise, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

"Going back to the sampan era is unlikely. If it did happen, the Eagle Tribe would definitely not take the initiative to propose peace."

"If you ask me, it must be because the Longxia Navy's front-line troops suffered losses, but they still fought to the death, and then the White Bear Tribe suddenly launched an attack. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, the Eagle Tribe had no choice but to choose to negotiate. That's right, that must be it."

"I have to say, the possibility you mentioned does exist. This also shows that the Eagle Tribe is peace-loving and actually considers the overall situation. It's damn infuriating that they let the Dragon Xia Navy escape annihilation. It's infuriating! And the White Bear Tribe is just too annoying. Why did they have to choose this time to cause trouble? I hate them!"

"That's right. If it weren't for the annoying White Bear Tribe causing trouble like a pest, the Eagle Tribe would never have stopped and would have fought until complete victory. That's exactly what they did before!"

These people of the Eastern Wilderness were all heartbroken and filled with hatred for the White Bear Tribe. They were so angry that they were jumping up and down, and many of them, after drinking too much sake, started to act crazy in the tavern.

As for the Eagle Tribe, after the announcement spread, many people were caught off guard by the sudden news of the ceasefire and peace talks, and almost everyone expressed confusion and bewilderment.

They racked their brains but couldn't come up with a solution, and in the end, they could only shift all the blame onto the White Bear tribe, which was quite similar to the Eastern Wilderness people.

Everyone felt that if the White Bear tribe hadn't suddenly stirred up trouble in the northern part of the Europa Sea at this time, the naval battle would have continued, and there would have been no possibility of a peace meeting.

After some consideration, they gradually accepted the idea of ​​taking the initiative to negotiate peace, since the Eagle Tribe was doing this to protect its own interests.

From any perspective, they all believed that the allied forces of the Eagle Tribe and the Eastern Wilderness Tribe were absolutely invincible; at the very least, no other navy on Earth could currently match them!

Based on this, they arrived at a seemingly reasonable conclusion to explain the rationality of their previous deductions. In reality, it's normal for them to misjudge. After all, the Eagle Tribe's navy is the strongest on Blue Star, and even if the Eastern Wilderness Tribe is weak, it still has an aircraft carrier fleet.

With such a powerful alliance, no one would believe that the Dragon Xia Navy could win this naval battle!
The news also reached the Longxia tribe, and the people there were stunned. They all said that the current situation was too chaotic and they couldn't understand it at all.

At this moment, countless netizens and military enthusiasts have gathered on the Tiexue forum. They have been staying up for hours, with dark circles under their eyes, and are typing away to express their opinions.

"Brothers, did you all see that? The Eagle Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department actually issued a notice of proactive peace talks. I have a feeling there's something fishy going on behind this."

"Everyone already knows there's something fishy going on, so stop talking nonsense. If you ask me, the reasons behind this are definitely more complicated than we think, and there's something strange about it all. We still can't draw any conclusions."

"It's strange, isn't it? Everyone remembers, right? From beginning to end, we didn't raise our combat readiness level at all, let alone conduct a nationwide war mobilization. You should understand what I mean by that, right?"

"I understand. You mean there are many false messages and rumors spread online by people from the Eastern Wilderness and other countries, which have affected our judgment. In fact, the situation on the front lines is not as dire as it seems. Perhaps there has been no defeat at all, otherwise we would have already mobilized for war. We would never accept peace negotiations!"

After these posts appeared, the gloom that had been hanging over people who were upset by the fake news on the internet was swept away, and their mood immediately improved.

"It seems we were misled by information from the foreign internet. The situation on the front lines is better than we expected; that much is certain!"

"We can finally relax. Facing the powerful naval alliance, it's good news as long as we don't suffer a major defeat. Even if we were replaced by the White Bear Tribe, they probably wouldn't do as well as us."

"The Navy has shouldered everything this time, it really hasn't been easy. After graduating from high school, I'll apply to the Naval Command Academy and join the Navy!"

"The navy definitely has some experts. The development strategy they formulated before was very appropriate and in line with the overall situation of the Blue Star. It can keep the enemy out of the country! Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to ensure the rapid development of the coastal economy."

"That's absolutely right. We need to build a strong navy at all times to ensure that our maritime rights are not violated in any way!"

For the vast majority of ordinary netizens and military enthusiasts, the best outcome would be for the navy to avoid a major defeat in the face of a powerful enemy like the Eagle Tribe and the Eastern Wilderness Tribe alliance. They did not ask for anything more.

As people of Longxia, they love their country, but that doesn't mean they are mindless.

Although they had hoped that the navy could win a great victory, those veteran military enthusiasts, through constant sand table simulations and various possible buffs, could only achieve a Pyrrhic victory at best, or even fall short.

Naturally, they have a clear understanding of reality and will not make too demanding requests of the navy. They are satisfied as long as the navy can perform at its normal level.

After all, the overall strength of the navy is still far behind that of the Eagle Tribe!

On the other side, the White Bear tribe.

The military operation in northern Europe was progressing very smoothly. When Emperor Pushkin learned of this, even though he tried to keep his joy hidden, he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.

"The Dragon Summer Tribe has really given us a great assist this time, successfully restraining the military power of the Eagle Tribe and also restraining most of the naval power of the seven European countries."

"We also successfully attracted the attention of the nations of Earth, which is why our sudden operation went so smoothly."

Even though the development of the Longxia tribe's air force equipment had been restricted in various ways, Emperor Pushkin, standing by the window, was still very excited and said with great emotion.

After suppressing his emotions for so long, he could finally release them, and he had never felt that the night was so beautiful and charming.

"Even though the Eagle Tribe still has the strongest military on the planet, it will soon face fighting on two fronts."

"I doubt the Longxia tribe ever dreamed that their military operations would provide us with such great convenience. I wonder if they'll be furious when they find out."

The Great Pushkin was in high spirits. He turned around, walked to the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass of wine, swirled it a few times, and took a sip with great relish. He was thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Next, we'll see how the Longxia Navy performs. If they can continue to hold back the Eagle Tribe's attention, then we'll be able to gain even more benefits."

"Those countries in the European sea area are utterly vulnerable. It's not that I underestimate them, but we could easily overwhelm them in one wave."

After taking a sip of wine, the Great Pushkin said with great excitement, as if he could already see the ever-increasing benefits that would be gained as this military operation continued to move forward.

Just as he put down the wine glass, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Boris, the head of the KGB, rushed in in a flustered manner.

"Your Majesty, something has happened. There's an unusual situation at the front."

Boris's sudden, seemingly nonsensical remark startled Pushkin, who was completely bewildered as to what had just happened. (End of Chapter)
