I built an armada.

The crucial point is that he doesn't know any of these things!
The unusual movements of the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe were naturally unknown to the ordinary people, who were all shocked by the new announcement issued by the Foreign Affairs Department of the Dragon Summer Tribe.

The announcement only mentioned the Dragon Summer Tribe and the Eagle Tribe negotiating, completely excluding their Eastern Wilderness Tribe, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

Their previous discussions were incredibly intense. They were determined to go to war if the Longxia tribe disagreed with even one of their conditions, and continue fighting until the other side accepted all of their proposed conditions.

They even fantasized about bringing the war back to the Longxia tribe's homeland, continuing to plunder more resources, thereby achieving the economic resurgence of the Eastern Wilderness tribe, and enabling them to live a better life!
Now, it's all become an illusion, and the key point is that all those bubbles have burst.

It turns out that this time, they weren't even qualified to sit at the negotiating table on the menu, becoming the biggest joke in the world.

For the people of the entire Eastern Wilderness, this was undoubtedly a sudden and devastating blow, striking them with utter shock and terror.

That shouldn't be the case, so why is this happening?
They clearly won, so they should be sitting at the negotiating table and demanding exorbitant prices. They and the Eagle Tribe are an allied force of two countries, so they should be on equal footing.

No matter what, all three parties should be sitting at the same negotiating table, instead of not even being allowed to sit at the table in the end!

This is unscientific and makes no sense at all.

The strategy of winning and then negotiating shouldn't be like this. Why are only the Eagle Tribe and the Dragon Summer Tribe holding talks? Did all their hard work go to waste?

This has never happened before, either in history or in modern times!
In an instant, the Eastern Wilderness Tribe's cyberspace was filled with numerous Eastern Wilderness netizens, their curses deafening, their anger erupting like a volcanic eruption, rapidly spreading to every corner of the entire cyberspace.

"Damn Longxia people, why won't they let us to the negotiating table? We're allies of the Eagle Tribe, don't they care about the reputation of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe? They're shameless."

"Baka yarou! How can the Longxia tribe be so domineering? How can they treat our victorious nation like this? Where do they get their confidence? It's obvious they're not afraid. The war can't stop; it must continue until they're all terrified and forced to surrender. Only then will they dare not make any more demands!"

"That's right, we should continue fighting. This kind of undignified negotiation cannot continue. I strongly demand that the entire Longxia Navy be annihilated. The waters of Dongzhou are ours! The people of Longxia must die!"

"Our navy is the undisputed ruler of this sea area. They are no match for us. We must destroy them!"

The people of the Eastern Wilderness were furious upon hearing the news; they were all so angry they felt like their lungs were about to burst, yet they remained convinced that their country's navy had not been destroyed.

Many of them learned from rumors that their country had rebuilt its navy, purchased a large number of advanced warships from the Eagle Tribe, and not only formed the Eighth Fleet, but even expanded it to the Ninth Fleet, in addition to an aircraft carrier fleet.

It can be said that both in terms of scale and strength, it has taken a leap forward compared to before.

They were unaware that the Eastern Wilderness Sea Force had been completely annihilated in this conflict, leaving it with neither the strength nor the resources to fight again. Even the Eastern Wilderness Air Force had lost at least a third of its aircraft, meaning its military strength had been utterly crippled.

It would take several years, or even more than a decade, for them to recover.

Of course, such a secret cannot be kept hidden. After all, both fighter jets and warships are enormous, and military enthusiasts who like to camp out near military bases will soon discover the clues.

When the truth is suddenly revealed, they will understand why the flowers are so red and how cruel reality is!
Therefore, compared to not being able to get to the negotiating table, this is a much bigger deal.

Without military support, the Eastern Wilderness Tribe will only be bullied in the entire Eastern Continent sea area. Even if the Dragon Summer Tribe doesn't take action, those countries that can't stand being alone will. That will be the end for the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

If you want to become the overlord of the Eastern Continent's sea area, you must be prepared to bear the weight of it and accept the reality of defeat once again!

After the peace talks, the cruel truth will be revealed, and all their previous glory, pride, understanding, and even expectations of the Eastern Wilderness Self-Defense Force will be crushed into dust.

It was only a matter of time before that moment arrived; for ordinary people like them, it was like the sky had fallen!
Even with a knife to their throats, they probably never imagined that one day they wouldn't even be qualified to sit at the negotiating table during such an important peace talk.

They weren't stupid; they knew exactly what this meant. If they couldn't get it at the negotiating table, then they had to put it on the menu!

Even after racking their brains, they couldn't figure out the specific reason.

In their minds, the Eastern Wilderness Tribe had clearly put in a lot of effort, but in the end, they won but couldn't even get to the negotiating table. That was a bit unreasonable, wasn't it?
To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like they finally saved up some money to prepare for their wedding, working hard and busying themselves with everything, feeling very happy, and even having the wedding ceremony. But just as they were about to enter the bridal chamber to enjoy their final wedding night, a bandit suddenly appeared, threw them out of the bridal chamber, and the bandit went to the bridal chamber with the bride himself.

This is tantamount to taking all his previous efforts for himself. Where can they even complain?
The Eastern Wilderness Tribe had gone to great lengths to rebuild its navy and even won this battle. They were all still dreaming of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe returning to its former glory as a powerful navy that dominated the Eastern Continent's sea areas.

They even want to wipe out the Longxia navy, block the doorstep of the Longxia tribe, and demand benefits from the Longxia people, so as to achieve the goal of using war to sustain war!
That's right, they want to return everything that the Longxia Navy did to the Eastern Wilderness Tribes. This is called giving them a taste of their own medicine. If they lose, they will have to pay the price!
We must make the Longxia Navy surrender publicly and submit a surrender document so that they can thoroughly humiliate the Longxia people on the spot and avenge the hatred from the past!

How can they not be annoyed and angry when a peace talk suddenly appears and excludes them?
However, they were still afraid of the Eagle Tribe. They were just a bunch of watchdogs whose spines had been broken by two nuclear bombs, and could only hope to get more benefits from the Dragon Xia people at the negotiating table.

After all, fighting a war requires a lot of money and energy. If we win a great victory, shouldn't we let them demand exorbitant prices? In history, in which battle has the victor not acted in this way?
But they never expected such a result, which was simply unacceptable to them!

Even after so much time has passed, every citizen of the Eastern Wilderness has racked their brains but still can't figure out why, despite the Longxia Foreign Affairs Department's arrogance, not a single one of their leaders has stood up to make a strong statement or demand to confront the Longxia tribe.

What's even stranger is that they searched the entire internet, and even personally logged into the Eagle Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department website and the Black Palace website, but still couldn't find the Eagle Tribe to say anything.

"Why is this happening? Didn't we win this battle? It concerned our honor and disgrace, and now what has become of it? I just don't understand!" "Damn it, our cabinet leader and those cabinet ministers, are they all eating shit? Or have they all crawled into their turtle shells? How can they tolerate this? When did they become so cowardly?"

"Baka yarou, aren't we allied with the Eagle Tribe? Aren't we allies? Why isn't a single one of them standing up to speak for us and uphold justice?"

"No matter what, we've already won, so why can't we get to the negotiating table? If we can't get to the negotiating table, we're on the menu. What kind of logic is it for the victor to be divided up? I can't accept this, and the people of Longxia can't bully us like this!"

"Damn bastards, this move is like cutting off my lifeline! How am I supposed to fight those damn Dragon Xia people online now? They're definitely going to retaliate. What reasons can we come up with to tear them apart?"

Anger spread among the people of the Eastern Wilderness, and they soon discovered a terrible fact: all their previous justifications had collapsed in an instant.

Previously, they joined forces with netizens from the Eagle Tribe and many other Western tribes to launch a fierce attack on the netizens of Longxia, causing the Longxia people to retreat in defeat. Naturally, they were very pleased with themselves.

The current situation has dealt them a fatal blow, meaning that the more arrogant they were before, the more severe the backlash from Longxia netizens will be.

They're all on the menu now, they've become the ones to be divided up, what's the point of playing anymore!

For a moment, they felt like the sky was falling, and they were on the verge of collapse, ready to break down completely at any moment.

As time went by, the very thing that had been dreading them actually happened.

Those Longxia netizens who had previously launched attacks on foreign websites were forced to retreat due to the overwhelming firepower from numerous foreign netizens. They hid in the Tiexue forum, quietly developing their strength and waiting for the situation to change.

They have even devised a counterattack strategy, and when the time comes, they will go to war again, slaughtering the enemy and leaving no one alive!

The retreat we are making now is just a helpless strategic choice; it's called accumulating strength!
They finally discovered that, at some point, netizens from the Eastern Wilderness had joined forces with netizens from multiple countries to launch a counterattack against them. The main reason for the counterattack was that the Eagle Tribe was the strongest nation on Blue Star, and its navy was invincible and had never suffered a defeat.

Even under such extremely unfavorable circumstances, the netizens of Longxia remained resilient, fighting and retreating until the very end, their main motto being "never to back down!" In their genes, there is no reason to die standing up, only to live kneeling down!

Faced with such a powerful and irrefutable reason, they had no choice but to temporarily back down and wait for the right opportunity.

Even after they returned, they were helpless. Even after searching through the history of Earth over the past few decades, they found very few examples of naval battles in which the weak defeated the strong.

Moreover, the Eagle Tribe and the Eastern Wilderness Tribe joined forces, and their powerful military strength left many netizens in Longxia feeling hopeless. They were all well aware of what this battle meant for the Longxia Tribe. It could be said that this was a truly unfavorable situation, and one that was extremely difficult to win.

Just thinking about the formidable enemy facing the Longxia soldiers makes these ordinary people's hearts ache.

At this very moment, on the Longxia Tribe's Iron Blood Forum.

This place has attracted many ordinary netizens and military enthusiasts, all discussing how to launch a counterattack.

Unexpectedly, someone posted the latest announcement from Longxia's Foreign Affairs Department, which immediately became a trending topic. The moderator even pinned it to the most prominent position on the Tiexue Forum homepage and highlighted it in red.

Such a striking image naturally led to the news spreading extremely quickly.

When they first saw the announcement, everyone was stunned and had no idea what was going on.

"Holy crap, am I still half asleep? The peace talks are only between us and the Eagle Tribe? What's going on? I don't understand!"

"I don't understand it either. This negotiation was actually decided by our side, and the timing is also the same. This is very strange, it's really too unusual, there's no precedent for this."

"Such a situation is extremely rare. I've never seen it before. I specifically searched the entire internet and couldn't find anything. It's so strange."

"I'm still completely baffled. I don't understand what's going on at all. Does anyone know? Please come forward and help analyze it. I need someone with extraordinary abilities."

At the urging of many, a person with rich experience finally stepped forward and gave a relatively professional answer.

"Brothers, don't overthink it. This matter is actually quite easy to explain. Just follow the internationally accepted negotiation case."

"Since it's a peace negotiation, the victorious nation will definitely hold the initiative, setting the time and choosing the method of negotiation. Based on our country's announcement, I am almost 100% certain that this battle on the front lines was at least a Pyrrhic victory for us!"

"You heard right. If we're lucky and God is on our side, we might have a better chance of winning."

After such an analysis by professionals, the doubts of many people were immediately answered. Even if some people still have doubts, they are only a minority. After all, there will always be haters.

Of course, some people simply knelt for too long and couldn't stand up anymore. (End of Chapter)
