I built an armada.

The current 10,000-ton destroyers use a combined diesel and gas turbine propulsion system and have not yet achieved full electrification.

Therefore, it is necessary to further optimize and upgrade the ship so that the next generation of 10,000-ton destroyers can be fully electrified and adopt an integrated power system. Only in this way can high power-consuming weapons and equipment such as lasers and electromagnetic guns be installed on the ship.

The shift from chemical energy to electrical energy is almost a future trend in weapon development, which places very high demands on the integrated power systems of ships.

With less than half an hour to go before reaching the target ship, Su Dingping naturally did not choose to enter the military industrial encyclopedia forging space again for research, but instead arranged the next part of the itinerary.

Now that everything was arranged, the itinerary for visiting the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier still needed to be a bit tight. He couldn't stay on the enemy's ship for too long, especially since this trip was like walking into the tiger's mouth, which was extremely dangerous.

Despite the apparent ceasefire, both sides still regard each other as adversaries. In particular, the Eagle Tribe harbors ambitions and desires to completely overthrow the Dragon Summer Tribe, both openly and covertly!

Therefore, he had to acquire all the core technologies from the USS Enterprise in such a short time.

In fact, the trip so far has gone so smoothly that it has almost exceeded Su Dingping's expectations. A half-day trip aboard the USS Enterprise is now a certainty. Once on the carrier, he will undoubtedly acquire more weaponry and equipment, which will necessitate some adjustments to his previously planned research projects.

Naturally, he wanted to fully utilize the "borrowing" approach, trying to extract and completely master the core technologies of the Enterprise aircraft carrier, including its propulsion system, cruise missiles, and numerous other weapons and equipment.

He wanted to get anything that the Longxia Navy didn't have!
"Cruise missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, and a whole host of other weapons and equipment—bring them all!" Su Dingping had already included these in his itinerary.

In fact, if he thoroughly studies the USS Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, he will be able to master the core technologies of the Eagle Tribe Navy.

Even if it's not used in actual combat in the future, it can serve as a blueprint for developing Pakistani missiles, further enhancing the navy's combat capabilities. If they can shoot down the Eagle Tribe's cruise missiles in training, then they can handle them with ease in real combat!

The next time the navy clashes with the Eagle Tribe, even if it is operating in the far seas, it will not be afraid of a powerful enemy!
Meanwhile, at the Longxia Naval Headquarters military base.

After Liu Huaming left, he appointed Xu Dongguo to take command of the operation, thus making Xu Dongguo the temporary supreme leader here!

Upon receiving the message from the expeditionary fleet, Zhang Zhaoxin rushed over immediately and urgently reported: "Reporting to the commander, we have just received a message from Captain Zhou Qinglei of the expeditionary fleet. He said that they are currently in a standoff with the joint naval fleet of seven European countries, which is 300 kilometers away!"

"Based on their understanding of the situation, there is an over 80% probability that the combined fleet of the seven nations did not detect the existence of the expeditionary fleet."

"Zhou Qinglei also stated that they will consider launching an attack on the seven-nation fleet from a holistic perspective after the peace talks at headquarters conclude!"

After listening, Xu Dongguo did not immediately express his opinion, but fell into deep thought.

Based on the information previously sent back by Zhou Qinglei, he had a basic understanding of the environment in which the expeditionary fleet was located. The seven-nation joint fleet had dispatched more than two hundred warships to welcome the arrival of the Longxia Navy expeditionary fleet, which can be described as a very powerful lineup.

However, he had already learned from relevant intelligence that if the seven nations' navies wanted to assemble so many warships, they would have to draw warships from the northern region, thus creating a shortage of troops in the north.

The White Bear tribe saw this as an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack, so they launched a sudden attack on northern Europe and seized considerable gains.

Even though more than half of the warships in the combined fleet of the seven nations were general supply ships of various sizes, and could not serve as main battle ships in naval warfare, there were still nearly a hundred remaining warships of various sizes.

What's more, among these warships are aircraft carriers and various types of carrier-based aircraft!
This is still a very powerful naval force, worthy of the foundation of a traditional naval power. If it were in the waters of the Eastern Continent, even the seven nations probably couldn't have accumulated such a powerful naval force.

Xu Dongguo and the others were well aware of this, so his first thought was to remind Zhou Qinglei to be extremely careful, remain on high alert, and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation!

Qian Wenbing said unhappily, "These Western countries really think highly of us. They've dispatched so many warships at once. It's obvious they want to finish us off in one battle. They're trying to completely annihilate our expeditionary fleet."

"Damn it, their pirate nature hasn't changed at all. Aren't they afraid of breaking their front teeth!"

Xiao Chongjun picked up the thread, saying, "Given the current situation, it's not bad that we've entered a stalemate, so that war won't cause irreparable damage to our expeditionary fleet."

"In fact, I simply do not believe that the Eagle Tribe is not behind the Seven Nations Allied Fleet's arrogance."

Xu Dongguo said somewhat unhappily, "We just wanted to bring back the stranded talents, but they just didn't want to settle things peacefully and insisted on making such a big fuss, making it known to everyone."

"The Eagle Tribe, in alliance with the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, is causing trouble on our doorstep. Now, the seven European nations have formed a joint fleet to intercept our expeditionary fleet."

"Western countries are still determined to destroy us. Our development has already aroused their dissatisfaction, and they regard us as a thorn in their side, wanting to get rid of us as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces. As the leaders of the navy, they were all well aware of the severity of the current situation on Earth.

The reason for such hostility is purely because the Western countries, led by the Eagle Tribe, are trying to block and suppress the rise of the Dragon Xia Tribe and interrupt its path to rise!

However, their idea was quite rosy!

Qian Wenbing waved his hand and said cheerfully, "So what if they try to surround and intercept us? We fought a brilliant counterattack on our own doorstep. With the aircraft carrier as our trump card, the first island chain has been completely broken. We've weathered the most dangerous period!"

"Hmph, it won't be so easy for them to find another opportunity to mess with us later!"

Xiao Chongjun continued, "The situation at our doorstep is already settled. As for the war in the European waters, we can go all out without fear! If they don't want a smooth landing, then we'll break ties with them. After all, it's not our homeland that's being destroyed."

"If everything is alright, then we can just bring those highly skilled people back safely."

"As for the rest, there's plenty of time in the future, we'll have plenty of time to outlast them!"

Waiting for the right time is definitely the most advantageous thing for the Longxia tribe. Currently, both their economy and other aspects of development are on track; all they need to do now is continue developing steadily!

Xu Dongguo and the others nodded in deep agreement, undoubtedly agreeing with this point.

The navy formed an expeditionary fleet and sailed to the Atlantic Ocean, tens of thousands of kilometers away. They were unable to provide any support, as the Yunfan series anti-ship ballistic missiles didn't have that long a range; Zhou Qinglei was left to fend for himself. If not for dire circumstances, they would have preferred a peaceful resolution and a smooth transition rather than a full-blown conflict. In any case, fighting on foreign soil meant the expeditionary fleet was bound to suffer some losses.

In addition, they considered that if the countries in the European maritime region were to resort to underhanded tactics, such as the cold-blooded approach of "if we don't have it, neither should you," and target highly skilled students studying abroad, then the problem would be much bigger.

After all, they went to great lengths to assemble an expeditionary fleet to the waters off Europe to pick up living people, not to drag corpses home!

Therefore, we must be extremely cautious. It would be best to avoid war if possible, as no one wants to fight!

Just then, a staff officer brought the latest news.

After reading it, Zhang Zhaoxin immediately reported: "Reporting to the commander, we have just received news that Commander Su will arrive at the Second Combat Corps in thirty minutes."

Thirty minutes?

Xu Dongguo subconsciously looked up at the digital clock on the wall and then asked, "Very good, the second half of the peace talks has only been going on for a short time."

Then he asked, "Have the relevant arrangements been completed?"

"Everything has been arranged."

Zhang Zhaoxin quickly reported truthfully, "Captain Chen has already reviewed the plan multiple times and made all the arrangements. There will be no unexpected events."

Even after everything was arranged, Qian Wenbing still reminded them, "Tell them to be extremely careful in this matter, and that no detail should be overlooked! This is a very important matter, and no amount of caution is too much."

Zhang Zhaoxin quickly accepted the order, saying, "Yes, sir. I'll go and make the arrangements right away!"

Everyone, including Xu Dongguo, was worried about Su Dingping's itinerary.

It's fair to say that as long as Su Dingping hasn't fully completed his visit to the USS Enterprise, they won't be able to relax for a moment. This concerns the future of the three armed forces of Longxia, and even more so, the vital interests of the Navy!

At this moment, in the eastern sea area.

The commanders of the First and Second Combat Corps already knew that Su Dingping was about to arrive. Cao Youren of the Third Combat Corps, even while intercepting the aircraft carrier Karl, detected Su Dingping's movements on his special plane using radar.

It can be said that from this moment on, all three combat corps entered a state of first-level alert!
They were on high alert and had rehearsed the plan once again to ensure that no detail would go wrong. They even conducted another joint training session with all the naval special forces members!
"Alas, what a pity, I have a mission to complete right now."

Cao Youren, in the main control room, sighed with regret, "If I were in the First Combat Corps, I might have been able to take this opportunity to meet with Commander Su. What a pity."

"It's been a while since I've listened to Chief Su's teachings."

He knew very well that his current audacity stemmed entirely from training with Su Dingping, and that every time he heard the other man speak, he felt his blood boil.

He used to be quite conservative, but under Su Dingping's guidance, he has completely changed!
It is precisely because of this that he has a special affection for Su Dingping.

Moreover, with the completion of the integrated naval military factory, Su Dingping became a very busy person, and the number of times the two met could be counted on one hand.

After the Pangu Research Base is completed, it will be harder to meet with Su Dingping again than to travel the Shu Road!

It was a rare opportunity, but to have to let it slip by was quite displeasing and regrettable for Cao Youren.

Aside from the emotional aspect, there was also the fact that Su Dingping's construction of one advanced warship after another gave Cao Youren and other naval personnel the opportunity to avenge their past humiliation and finally settle the score from seven years ago! Therefore, he wanted to lead all the sailors from the original Type 051 ship to personally express their gratitude to Su Dingping!

Now that he has missed this opportunity, he can only find another time to meet with him.

"Alright, let's leave it at that this time. I hope to have the opportunity to thank Chief Su in person sometime."

Holding binoculars, Cao Youren stood by the porthole and looked out, hoping that Chief Su's trip would go smoothly and that he would be safe and sound!

Meanwhile, in the waters surrounding the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, the Enterprise carrier fleet remained stationary, neither advancing nor retreating, and had even lowered its anchor chain.

In the main control room of the aircraft carrier, the communications officer urgently reported: "Captain, we have just received the latest news from the garrison base."

"What news?" Willis was startled and asked quickly.

"Reporting to the captain, headquarters says our peace talks with the Longxia tribe are going very smoothly. Our predicament will be resolved soon."

"However, headquarters has not given us any information about our follow-up arrangements!"

"call!"

After listening, Willis let out a long sigh, and immediately felt much more relaxed.

The peace talks between the two countries are progressing smoothly, which means that war will not break out again, and they can continue to stay safely here. If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, then with the remaining strength of the USS Enterprise, it will be difficult for it to defend itself, and its destruction is only a matter of time!

"Almost two hours have passed again. Perhaps the Longxia Navy's frontline fleet has completed another ammunition resupply?"

Willis turned around, sat down in the captain's chair, picked up his coffee and took a sip. "The peace talks were successful, and our crisis was finally resolved. I have to say, the fact that both sides were able to sit down together is the best news for us."

In his view, the current situation offers the best chance of survival by avoiding war! (End of Chapter)
