I built an armada.

If, by some chance, a major upset occurs, just like the conflict in the Eastern Seas, how will they cope?

If such an outcome occurs, they will become the second Eastern Wilderness tribe, ultimately unable to even sit at the negotiating table, and Europa's interests will be forcibly redistributed.

After this battle, Anthony realized a serious problem: the Dragon Xia Navy could not be judged by common sense; they often did not play by the rules!
If they don't fight, what should they do next?
Should we allow the Longxia Navy to take away all the top talents they detained without leaving a trace? Once this door is opened, a large number of high-level talents from the Longxia tribes will leave to go back and engage in development.

What if the top talents from other countries who remained in those countries sensed something was wrong and turned away to join the Longxia tribe?

Talent is the foundation of a country's development, and there is no room for carelessness!

Furthermore, it would also lead to public criticism of these high-ranking officials, who would perceive them as weak towards the Longxia tribe, potentially resulting in even more terrifying consequences and possibly causing their downfall.

"No matter what I choose next, I will face very unbearable consequences."

Anthony frowned deeply, sighing inwardly, "What a difficult choice!"

After a moment of contemplation, he said to Richard with a complicated expression, "Pass down the word: if the front lines are about to go to war, tell them to wait."

"Let's see how the peace talks between the Dragon Summer Tribe and the Eagle Tribe go before making a decision. Also, I need to have a meeting with the high-ranking officials of the other six countries to discuss this further."

"Next, I will need to discuss this with the Great Chieftain. In short, we must avoid conflict with the Dragon Xia Naval Expeditionary Fleet for now!"

His only worry now is that the combined fleet of the seven nations in the Atlantic Ocean will suddenly encounter the Longxia naval expeditionary fleet and then directly engage in a maritime conflict.

If it really comes to that, they will be forced to make the choice to go to war!

Once the conflict breaks out, they won't be able to stop it even if they want to, and in the end they can only leave it to fate!
Richard quickly replied, "Yes, Prime Minister, I'll arrange it right away."

After leaving Downing Street, he rushed back to the Military Intelligence Bureau to make arrangements. He was on tenterhooks, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was extremely worried!
On the other side, the White Bear tribe.

Boris, who had just returned to his KGB office from the Kremlin and hadn't even had a cup of coffee to perk himself up, received the latest news from his intelligence operative.

After taking one look, he had even less time to sit down and rushed to the Kremlin with it in his hand.

Boris rushed into the Emperor's office, pushing open the door. Before even sitting down, he reported, "Your Majesty, breaking news: the Dragon Summer Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department has issued a statement."

"Sit down and talk," said the Great Pushkin, gesturing for him to sit down.

After Boris sat down, he opened the intelligence file and reported truthfully: "Your Majesty, those previously dubious intelligence reports can now be basically confirmed to be true."

"Oh, what intelligence? Tell me," Pushkin said quickly.

They've received so much intelligence lately, it's truly overwhelming, that they simply can't distinguish between what's true and what's false.

Boris quickly replied, "For example, this intelligence indicates that the Eastern Wilderness Tribe suffered a defeat, and a major one at that. This information was relayed back by our spies from the ministers of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe."

"It would have taken time to confirm before, but now, based on this announcement from the Longxia Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department, we can be fairly certain of its authenticity."

"If the Eastern Wilderness tribes hadn't been defeated, or hadn't suffered a major defeat, given their character, they would definitely have been clamoring to come to the negotiating table. But now, they're not even in a position to do so!"

Next, Boris explained the results of his analysis and provided an overview of the situation on the front lines.

After listening to the report, Emperor Pushkin fell into deep thought, reviewing the battle in the Eastern Sea and his role in it.

He originally thought his plans were very sophisticated. Whether it was stirring up bilateral conflicts in the Eastern Wilderness Sea or suddenly launching military operations in the European Seas to gain benefits, they were all decisions made with great cunning.

However, the situation now appears to be developing in a completely different way than he had previously imagined, especially the conflict within the East China Sea region.

Suddenly, he realized he wasn't a shrewd strategist, but a speculator.

"It seems the situation is now out of our control, and our future is not looking good," Emperor Pushkin said after a moment, his voice filled with deep concern.

The Longxia Navy's victory over the Mi-Ri Alliance demonstrates its formidable strength, making it virtually invincible in the Eastern Continent's waters. This will allow the Longxia Tribe to develop at an even faster pace, and who knows, it might even be able to challenge the White Bear Tribe for the second-largest position on Blue Star.

Once they get to that point, what should they do?
Or rather, the Longxia tribe did not launch any challenges, but continued to develop silently as before, constantly accumulating strength. When he realized the danger and reacted, he was shocked to find that the Longxia tribe had quietly surpassed them and firmly occupied the second place on the Blue Star!

By then, any reaction he makes will be pointless. He can't possibly fight a war for his status in the underworld, can he?

Seeing that the Great Pushkin remained silent for a long time, Boris couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Pushkin's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his brow furrowing and then relaxing. After a moment, he slowly said, "The Dragon Summer Air Force, we have already used methods to contain it. Tell me, what else can we cut off?"

That's right, he must continue to take measures to contain and stop the advance of the Longxia army, even if it's just to hinder it. In any case, he absolutely cannot stand by and watch the Longxia defense forces develop rapidly and without any obstacles.

Boris was caught off guard by the sudden question, but he quickly fell into deep thought and even flipped through his notebook, only to discover that the military-industrial ties that needed to be severed had been broken, and they were no longer able to implement containment measures.

His lips twitched several times, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Unless the White Bear Tribe wants to become the second Eagle Tribe and fight a war with the Dragon Summer Tribe in the Eastern Sea, but in the end, it will still enhance the military prestige and national prestige of the Dragon Summer Tribe!
They would naturally not do such a thing.

On the other side, somewhere in the Longxia tribe.

A helicopter flew rapidly overhead and headed quickly toward the open sea, its target naturally being the location of the 10,000-ton destroyer, the command ship of the First Combat Group.

Inside the cabin, Su Dingping sat there relaxed and at ease. He was very much looking forward to this aircraft carrier trip; risks were certain, but the potential rewards were enormous.

As the head of security, Wan Long accompanied the entire process and had just received the latest news. Naturally, he immediately reported to Su Dingping: "The two sides have finally sat down to negotiate, and this maritime conflict is finally coming to an end!"

"Many countries now say that our military strength has soared to third place on the planet, which shows that our military development has been recognized by the world."

Su Dingping turned to look at Wanlong and said with a light laugh, "Our breakout battle was fought very well. We won and broke through the first island chain. The next battle between the great powers will come soon."

"It will take about five years if it's slow, but it could take as little as three years if it's fast."

Upon hearing this, Wanlong was visibly taken aback: "There will be a war between powerful nations?"

"Yes."

Su Dingping nodded and said very seriously, "Wars between powerful nations can happen. Have you ever thought about this? What would happen if our strength surpassed that of the White Bear Tribe one day?"

Surpassing the White Bear Tribe? Really?

Wanlong was clearly taken aback; he had never thought about this serious issue before.

Regardless, the White Bear Tribe directly inherited the Su Bear Alliance, which was once the elder brother. Even today, the White Bear Tribe's overall military strength still far surpasses that of the Dragon Summer Tribe. Apart from conventional forces, its nuclear arsenal is terrifying.

In terms of military strength, it surpassed the White Bear Tribe. How terrifying must the Longxia Tribe's military strength have been at that time?
He simply couldn't imagine it, nor did he know how to even begin to imagine it.

"Dingping, will we really surpass the White Bear Tribe one day?" Wanlong asked, his face full of doubt, still expressing his skepticism.

"Old Wan, you need to change your mindset."

Su Dingping gently patted Wan Long on the shoulder and said with a firm expression, "Our country is getting stronger, and so is our military!"

"I, I understand."

Wanlong's body trembled, and his eyes changed.

Then, Su Dingping added, "We not only want to surpass the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe, our goal is the stars and the sea!"

The goal is the stars and the sea? My goodness!

Wanlong felt his head buzzing and his scalp about to explode!
Su Dingping's words kept reverberating in Wanlong's mind, like a morning bell and a night drum, deafening and enlightening! Only today did he realize just how ambitious the goals Su Dingping had set for the Longxia army were.

In his view, the Longxia Army, especially the Navy, has made great progress, but it will take a long time to surpass the White Bear Tribe.

As for surpassing the Eagle Tribe, that's a much more distant prospect, something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.

However, Su Dingping has already outlined his vision and even provided a specific timeframe, clearly indicating his intention to continue the frenzied push for military buildup.

It seems that in Su Dingping's mind, there was no such hesitation. Surpassing the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe was a foregone conclusion, only a matter of time. Surpassing these two powerful nations on Earth was one thing, but the Dragon Summer Tribe's true goal was the stars and the sea!

That's the vast universe, the ambition is astounding.

After the initial shock, Wanlong was filled with anticipation, looking forward to the day coming soon.

Of course, he couldn't imagine just how powerful the Longxia tribe was back then. On that day, the Longxia tribe became the number one on Earth, receiving tribute from all nations!

Su Dingping was unaware of Wan Long's feelings at that moment. Instead, he sat quietly, looking out at the starry sky through the porthole. Everything was pitch black, but his gaze became incredibly profound, as if he could already see the realization of his goal of reaching the stars and the sea!
Even though the propellers outside were very loud, the cabin was quiet. Both of them were wearing headphones and could communicate with the outside world and talk to each other.

"Dingping, will we ever surpass the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe?"

After a moment of contemplation, Wanlong raised his question, "In any case, both countries are developing rapidly, and their base is much larger."

Su Dingping turned to look at Wan Long again and asked directly, "Old Wan, do you think bandits wouldn't be interested in stealing our things?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Long's expression changed drastically, and he said very seriously, "No! The reason I chose to join the army was to protect my country and fight against bandits with a hunting rifle!"

"Seven years ago, the Eagle Tribe, with its powerful aircraft carrier fleet, blocked our doorstep. I was furious and felt extremely humiliated. At that time, I hated myself for not being able to do what Qian Xuesen did and single-handedly reverse the fate of the navy and make it stronger."

“We have a long coastline, so we need a stronger navy and more advanced warships. There’s a saying that national defense is the backing of foreign affairs. Back then, our navy was not strong, and we didn’t even have the confidence to speak out in foreign affairs.”

"Alas, I gradually realized that my personal abilities are limited, and it's already good enough that I can do my job well."

"But I also dream that one day our national defense will be strong enough that we will not be targeted by robbers and will not be bullied!"

Su Dingping nodded slightly and said seriously, "If we don't want to be targeted by bandits and bullied by them, then we have no choice but to strive to catch up and become stronger! You need to be strong yourself to forge iron!"

"Aim high, and you'll only achieve mediocrity! If we only take the White Bear Tribe or the Eagle Tribe as our role models, our progress in becoming stronger will be slow. We cannot follow their old path; instead, we must study how to forge our own."

"We need to have our own development plan and become stronger and stronger in our own field."

"We need to broaden our horizons and look further ahead. Remember, surpassing the White Bear Tribe, or even the Eagle Tribe, is just a stop along the way on our journey to achieving our grand goals."

These words were a wake-up call for Wan Long, and he admired Su Dingping even more! (End of Chapter)
