I built an armada.

Chapter 916 The Expeditionary Fleet is About to Go to War, Storms Rise in Europe
Liu Huaming is not easy to deal with, but does that mean he is easy to deal with?
Having served as the Pacific Navy Commander for so long and fought against the Dragon Xia Navy for so long, he had a certain understanding of this old rival.

In fact, he did not expect that the Longxia Navy would suddenly become stronger in such a short period of time, as if it had taken off like a rocket, and even defeat them.

This battle completely woke him up and shattered all his arrogance.

Just as the two were having a heated discussion, their advisors relayed the relevant information from the outside world, as well as the Great Chief's decision.

After listening, Carterwell and Curryra exchanged a glance, both showing surprise on each other's faces.

After a moment of silence, Curicco said unhappily, "It seems we need to change some of the conditions we agreed on earlier."

"That damn cabinet chief is a real piece of shit, always popping up at crucial moments to disgust people."

Carterwell made no attempt to hide his dislike for the cabinet chief, but had to say, "Let's hurry up and make the changes. Let's put his matter aside for now."

Time was already very tight for them. Originally, after making a plan, they would have more than ten minutes to rest. Now, they even had to make use of that little bit of time to go to the toilet.

It's very unpleasant to have a plan that's been drafted and then overturned; it's as if the Great Chieftain has become a very unpopular figure in their eyes.

If the previously discussed plan could protect the interests of the Eagle Tribe to the greatest extent, then now we have to make corresponding concessions in exchange for the Dragon Summer Tribe reaching an agreement with them on this matter.

In the Eagle Tribe, inside the laboratory of a top professor at a renowned university, Chen Kai, who has already obtained a green card, is now working day and night to conduct experiments and record relevant experimental data for the sake of his reputation and academic achievements.

Since obtaining his green card, he has worked even harder than before, fully demonstrating the resilience and striving spirit of the people of Longxia. He wanted to stand out from the crowd, to live a better life than his classmates back home, and to make them envious of him.

Of course, he also wanted to prove to the world just how right his initial choice was!

William, the blond senior, had come over to talk to him about Uncle Sam's recruitment, but he had forgotten about it because he was busy. In fact, he hadn't taken it seriously.

After all, recording a recruitment video is just a trivial matter for him. Continuing to recruit talent from renowned universities in the Longxia tribe is a very minor thing. Given his current academic standing and status, it's nothing at all.

At the time, he even hoped that Su Dingping would see the recruitment video. He even fantasized about whether Su Dingping would feel envious when he saw his current status and position in the video. He also thought that if he could capture Su Dingping's emotional changes, he would be willing to pay $100,000 to do so.

That's right. Now that he thinks back to what Su Dingping said when he saw him off at the airport, it was a complete joke, utterly ridiculous!
"Ding dong, ding dong."

Just then, the doorbell rang urgently in the laboratory. The door opened, and the blond senior, William, strode in, a hint of unease on his face.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Chen Kai, who had just finished recording a set of data and stood up, saw William coming in and asked him curiously.

This was not the time for William to conduct experiments. Normally, he should be giving a lecture to a class, and many of the students in that class were also from the Longxia tribe.

After all, the Eagle Tribe is still very developed these days, so much so that the Dragon Summer Tribe has seen a persistent surge in the popularity of studying abroad. Hundreds of thousands of students choose this place as their first destination, hoping to study here and then stay to earn a high salary!
After hesitating for a moment, William said somewhat awkwardly, "I have just received the latest news that our side and the Longxia tribe are about to hold peace talks."

"Peace talks?"

"With the Longxia tribe?"

Chen Kai's face was filled with disbelief; he was truly shocked.

As a highly educated and exceptionally talented individual, he understood all too well what peace talks meant. He simply didn't understand why the two sides had suddenly begun peace talks.

"Senior brother, do you know why?" Chen Kai asked curiously after a moment.

William was stunned, then said, "I don't know either."

As for the truth behind it all, he naturally had no idea, nor did he expect things to turn out this way.

However, while browsing the internet, he happened to see comments from netizens in Longxia, and his heart sank. Even after seeing related news posted by netizens in Donghuang, including a video of the cabinet leader's speech, he still felt for some reason that the whole thing was unreliable.

He always felt that the truth was closer to what the netizens in Longxia had said, and even more cruel.

But he just didn't know why he thought that way. It was so strange that he didn't want to stay here any longer, lest he impulsively raise his fist and beat up Chen Kai, this Dragon Xia man!
"You can stay here and do your work. I don't know the specifics either; I need to look it up. I'm sure I'll have the information soon."

Then, remembering that the other party had already joined the Eagle Tribe's nationality, William suppressed his unease, finished speaking with concern, and turned to leave.

Watching the other person's hurried departure, Chen Kai felt something was off; he couldn't help but think that the other person was acting strangely today.

Now that he was already thinking about this, he naturally had no interest in continuing the experiment. So he turned around, ran to turn on his computer, and quickly browsed the relevant forums.

His eyes lingered for only a moment before his pupils suddenly contracted, his heart filled with horror.

"This...this shouldn't be happening, right?"

That's right, he subconsciously rejected what those Longxia netizens said, and deep down he felt that the possibility of the Longxia tribe winning the battle was extremely slim.

No matter what, he had only been away from the Longxia tribe for a short time, yet such a huge change had occurred in the country? He simply couldn't believe it. Of course, all his thoughts were based on what he had personally witnessed when he left the Longxia tribe.

He simply couldn't believe that the Longxia tribe had achieved such rapid development!

If that's true, then the speed of development is terrifying, isn't it? It's like riding a rocket!
"It can't be true, Senior Brother is being far too nervous."

Chen Kai shook his head slightly, not taking it seriously at all. After closing the relevant webpage, he turned around and threw himself back into his busy experiments, which he was working day and night.

However, he was unclear about what had happened, but he was unable to concentrate on his experiments and could no longer focus on them. He could no longer reach that state of self-forgetfulness.

That's right, his mind was in turmoil! This state was similar to cultivation in the world of martial arts; once the mind is in chaos, further cultivation becomes impossible, or one will suffer a qi deviation. Although Chen Kai was far from suffering a qi deviation, he couldn't continue his experiments, otherwise, danger would ensue. Moreover, he discovered that some of his cherished beliefs seemed to be faltering.

"Hey!"

Chen Kai sighed helplessly. He knew very well that his current condition was not suitable for doing experiments anymore. "Forget it, I'll just take a break. I haven't had a rest in a long time."

He took off his white coat and soon arrived at the park.

The trees were lush and green, making it quite comfortable to walk through. The sunlight felt warm on his skin, but he felt as if he were frozen solid, unable to feel any warmth at all.

"What's wrong with me? Why is my mind in such turmoil?"

Chen Kai was puzzled and pondered for a long time but could not find the answer.

There were many other Longxia students who shared his troubled mind, and they all paid attention to the recent peace talks between the Eagle Tribe and the Longxia Tribe.

It has to be said that this was a huge psychological shock for them!

Meanwhile, in a certain area of ​​the distant Atlantic Ocean.

The combined naval fleet of seven European nations, which had set out to intercept the Longxia naval expeditionary fleet, was getting closer and closer.

Since this was essentially a home-based operation, the sailors of the seven-nation naval alliance were quite relaxed as they faced the Longxia naval fleet that had come from afar. In their eyes, the Longxia naval expeditionary fleet was nothing more than a suicide mission.

However, they were unaware that 468 kilometers away in the sea, the Longxia Naval Expeditionary Fleet had already split into three tactical formations, operating in a coordinated manner.

The seven-nation naval joint fleet is still waiting for support from the Eagle Tribe space satellite. The fleet command center receives ocean scan images from the satellite from time to time, and a large number of analysts interpret the images in an attempt to find the exact location of the Dragon Xia naval fleet.

Satellite images are enormous, and currently there are no supercomputers for comparison, let alone AI-powered intelligent interpretation.

The workload of this analysis is undoubtedly enormous and terrifying! Therefore, it is difficult to interpret it in a short period of time. Even if they discover a ship in the Longxia Naval Expeditionary Fleet, it will take them a long time to analyze it.

Therefore, even now they have not found any trace of the Longxia naval fleet.

The combined fleet of the seven nations was vast in number, and even with their long-range radar detection systems activated, they couldn't detect any trace of the Longxia navy's ships. After all, all the ships in the Longxia naval expeditionary fleet were brand new and possessed extremely strong stealth capabilities!
Dozens of reconnaissance planes flew all over the sky, but they only dared to keep their reconnaissance activities at a distance of 200 to 300 kilometers from the fleet, in order to prevent the Longxia Navy from discovering them in advance and shooting them down!

As the distance between the two sides shortened, the shadow of war over the Atlantic grew thicker, and even the smell of gunpowder from the battlefield began to permeate the air.

The 126, a 10,000-ton destroyer, is the command ship of the expeditionary fleet and is maintaining its planned speed.

Inside the main control room, Zhou Qinglei would occasionally glance at the integrated situational awareness system display, where radar data was being updated in real time.

Moreover, as the distance between the two sides has narrowed, they have gone from scanning the first reconnaissance aircraft to now being able to scan all the ships in the seven-nation joint fleet.

Of course, this would take into account the situational awareness of the three combat formations on the battlefield.

Seeing the enemy's aggressive approach and the sheer size of their fleet, Zhou Qinglei's mood inevitably became heavy, and the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increased significantly.

Although they had already learned that the combined fleet of the seven nations had set sail to intercept them, they did not expect so many to arrive at once. It must be said that the naval strength of the seven Western nations is indeed very formidable.

This scale far exceeds that of the combined fleet of the three countries in the waters of the East Continent, with more than a hundred warships of various sizes.

Putting aside tonnage, there are four aircraft carriers alone, as well as 89 main combat vessels, including frigates and destroyers, and hundreds of replenishment ships.

It can be said that such a lineup would be extremely powerful in any sea area on Earth.

And this is the enemy they have to face, and it's a battle they have no choice but to fight—it's either you or me!

Because the great powers will not bow down voluntarily. Weakness will only make them extremely arrogant and domineering. We must use strength to defeat them and make them afraid!

There will never be peace without struggle!

"I never expected we would be so popular. They are really enthusiastic."

Zhou Qinglei remained completely calm, showing no emotion whatsoever, and said, "Deploying so many warships makes it seem as if we're not on an expedition, but rather about meeting them off at our own doorstep."

The vice-captain reminded him, "Captain, I just counted, there are at least ninety main combat ships. We're going to have a tough battle."

"It's no big deal."

Zhou Qinglei remained calm and slowly said, "We don't expect to achieve a decisive victory like the one we fought on our doorstep, but at least we must demonstrate our national prestige, our military might, and, more importantly, the fearless spirit of the Longxia soldiers!"

"Even if the opponent is a tiger, we will still pull a few teeth out of its mouth!"

The first mate stiffened and said, "Understood, Captain!"

"Execute according to Plan Number One!" Zhou Qinglei waved his hand and gave the order directly.

To ensure the success of this operation, they developed relevant operational plans before the battle began to deal with different contingencies. This is a basic skill that a mature commander must possess, to be prepared for any eventuality.

Of course, they also conducted simulations of these contingency plans, with all captains and other high-ranking officials involved.

The first operational plan is naturally an ambush, with the three combat formations using their superior stealth capabilities to catch the enemy off guard.
