I built an armada.

At this moment, the stubborn people of the Eastern Wilderness, who were engaged in a heated debate with the vast number of Longxia netizens on the external network, also learned of this news!

They felt like the sky had fallen, and they were all in a panic, like deflated balloons, completely exhausted. In desperation, they scattered like birds and beasts and returned to China to find out the real situation.

As for the people of the Eastern Wilderness, upon learning the news, they almost instinctively and resolutely denied it.

"No, impossible! It's fake, absolutely fake. Our cabinet leader wouldn't lie to me; he's telling the absolute truth!"

"This is a despicable tactic used by the Longxia people. They want to confuse us! We can't afford to panic right now; we must rely on official information!"

"We firmly believe that the nation has not deceived us. We cannot be fooled by the despicable schemes of the Longxia people! Besides, we have the Eagle Tribe behind us. Their navy is the strongest on the planet. How could they possibly be defeated?"

"That's right, the Eagle Tribe's military strength can crush the Dragon Summer Tribe and turn them into dust!"

After these remarks, many wavering people in the Eastern Wilderness rallied once again, choosing to blind themselves and remain ignorant!
However, skilled people from the Eastern Wilderness quickly restored the mosaic on the warships using technical means, and the result was immediately apparent.

Of course, censorship is something the people of the Eastern Wilderness are good at, so they naturally know how to perform technical restoration.

Soon, a comparison picture of the Eastern Wilderness warships surrounded by two Dragon Xia warships circulated widely on the Eastern Wilderness's internal network.

The first photo is naturally the original photo released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Longxia, while the second photo is a photo that has been restored through technical processing. Comparing the two photos, the degree of technical restoration exceeds 97%!

This once again confirmed the Eastern Wilderness people's mastery of mosaic technology, but it also immediately swept through the entire Eastern Wilderness's internal network, causing a huge storm.

"No, no, this is fake. It must have been filmed by the Longxia people before, just to disgust us!"

"Although I'd like to think that way too, I have to accept this fact. This captured warship is the one we bought from the Eagle Tribe last year. Damn it, just comparing two pictures makes it clear, that's the truth! Fuck!"

"Baka! Why is this happening? Why is God treating us like this?"

"Amaterasu, are you no longer going to protect us? We're already in such a terrible state, why don't you open your eyes and take a look?"

"Why is the head of the cabinet lying through his teeth? Why are you deceiving us? You idiot!"

"I can't take it anymore! The cabinet leaders are a bunch of big liars. They have no credibility with me! I want them to step down!"

In an instant, the entire internal network of the Eastern Wilderness was filled with cries of anguish and calls for the cabinet leader to step down.

It can be said that the emotions of the people of the Eastern Wilderness completely erupted. They felt they had been deceived and found it completely unacceptable emotionally.

That's right, they have completely lost faith in this cabinet, and their approval rating has plummeted from over 50% to just over 10%.

Even those who remain are just die-hard loyalists; that is to say, no matter how they change, nothing will change, and they would rather be deceived.

The conflict in the waters off Dongzhou was triggered by the release of a single, seemingly insignificant image by the Longxia Foreign Affairs Department, yet it still stirred up a massive storm in the cyberspace of Donghuang.

This directly caused a crisis of confidence in the current cabinet, something the cabinet leader probably didn't even realize.

The general public is confused as to why the head of the cabinet is deceiving them. Why can't he just tell the truth?

They didn't ask for much, just the truth, but the head of the cabinet lied to them!

Furthermore, they couldn't figure out why the Maritime Self-Defense Force had spent a fortune purchasing so many warships from the Eagle Tribe and rebuilding an aircraft carrier fleet. With such a large force, plus the Eagle Tribe's navy and air force, the combined forces of the two countries were incredibly powerful.

But in the end, it turned out to be such a terrible mess, which is unacceptable to anyone!

Not only did things turn out this way, but the head of the cabinet actually deceived them for the sake of his own position!

This time, the Longxia Navy essentially repeated its previous operation, directly capturing their destroyer!

One has been announced. Is this the only one that has been captured?
If they don't believe it, then there could be three, four, or even more ships. Wouldn't that put the Fukuno aircraft carrier in grave danger? Is there any possibility of it being captured?
The people of the Eastern Wilderness felt a chill run down their spines the more they thought about it, and they dared not think about it any further, because the thought was terrifying and they were afraid of the outcome!

In fact, almost every ordinary citizen had high expectations for this battle, hoping to deliver a devastating blow to the Longxia tribe, avenge the earlier blocking of their gate, and wipe away the shame for their Eastern Wilderness tribe! But now, instead of avenging their shame, their warships have been captured!

What kind of revenge is this? And how can we restore our former glory?
In the face of this photograph, all of these become mere illusions, utterly vulnerable!
Naturally, they came to another conclusion: the Longxia Navy did not lose this battle, because if they had lost, how could they have captured their destroyers?

At the very least, it was a draw! It was a draw, a 50/50 split!

This was achieved by the Dragon Xia Navy with the participation of the Eagle Tribe's navy and air force, and they even managed to capture their warships.

The key point is that they have already learned that the Longxia Navy has diverted a portion of its forces to the European waters, meaning this battle is essentially being fought by the few warships left behind at home.

In other words, there is basically no chance for them to get revenge. They can only hope that they won't be bullied by the Dragon Xia Navy!
Suddenly, a comment appeared on the internet from some unknown genius.

"Do you think the cabinet leader chose to hide and deceive us because he's afraid we won't be able to accept the cruel reality of such a defeat?"

This single stone stirred up a thousand waves, leaving many people in the Eastern Wilderness speechless!

What kind of cruel truth is it that they cannot accept? What is the truth, and how cruel is it? In any case, they cannot figure it out, since even the head of the cabinet and a group of ministers dare not bring it up!
After so much fighting, both the Dragon Summer Tribe and the Eagle Tribe have announced peace talks, but the Eastern Wilderness Foreign Affairs Department has remained silent, as if it hadn't seen anything.

The once bustling online space, which resembled a grand New Year celebration, has now fallen completely silent! Seeing the confident statements they made earlier, the people of the Eastern Wilderness feel incredibly agitated, wishing they could turn back time so that they could take back all those statements.

Now, they can't even delete it in time, because the internet remembers everything!

"I'm feeling very lost right now. What should we do next?"

Suddenly, someone raised a very pointed question: "Where does our future lie? Is there really no chance at all to avenge ourselves against the Longxia tribe?"

This is almost an unsolvable question; virtually no one has answered it, and everyone has chosen to remain silent.

Even the most radical right-wingers remained silent at this moment. If they couldn't win, they couldn't win! Continuing to fight would be tantamount to suicide!

At that moment, someone on the internet suddenly shouted: "This battle has had a huge impact on us. We need the real truth, not the lies the cabinet leader tells us to appease us!"

"We must get to the head of the cabinet and make things clear. We can no longer be blinded! We can't be made fools of!"

These remarks ignited the anger of countless people in the Eastern Wilderness. They took to the internet, izakayas, and some even went to the streets to shout and yell.

A much larger demonstration ensued!

"Protest! Protest the cabinet leader's lies! The cabinet is a bunch of liars, a bunch of executioners!"

"We must surround the Cabinet Building and demand the truth from the damned Cabinet leader. We cannot continue to be deceived; we demand the truth!"

"We can't keep playing the fool; we can't let the head of the cabinet make a fool of us!"

"This cabinet must resign en masse and take responsibility for this defeat. They must commit seppuku!"

Various opinions erupted, causing immense shock and disbelief among the people of the Eastern Wilderness. After all, the current cabinet term wasn't even over, yet they were already demanding the resignation of its leader!
But then I thought about it again, and the fact that we were defeated by this cabinet twice in a row suggests that the current cabinet leader is the biggest obstacle to the revival of the Eastern Wilderness tribes!
If this cabinet were to change, perhaps the Eastern Wilderness tribe would usher in a new era; who knows? In any case, there's a fifty percent chance.

Once the idea was proposed, it quickly took hold in everyone's minds.

The more they thought about it, the greater the probability became, and it even became deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.

Recently, the Eastern Wilderness Sea Self-Defense Force has suffered repeated defeats, engaging in numerous clashes with the Dragon Summer Navy, all of which ended in failure! From a certain perspective, the Cabinet Leader should step forward and take responsibility!
At first, they suspected it was a problem with the high-ranking commanders of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, but upon closer examination, that wasn't the case.

After experiencing its first major defeat and the destruction of its carrier fleet, the Maritime Self-Defense Force underwent a major reshuffle at the top, and even the supreme commander committed seppuku to atone for his sins!

Finally, even the chief stepped forward, took all the blame upon himself, and publicly apologized to the people.

The JMSDF underwent a major overhaul and spent a considerable sum to purchase a batch of new destroyers and escorts from the Eagle Tribe, essentially rebuilding the JMSDF force and giving it a new lease on life!

At the same time, it also allowed the general public to see the future of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and they believe that everything will change as a result, and the Maritime Self-Defense Force will be able to recover and regain its position as the number one naval force in the East!
Who could have imagined that they would be defeated again, and so miserably at that?

Therefore, from any perspective, they began to suspect that the root of the problem lay with the current cabinet, including its leader.

Therefore, replacing them has become the mainstream opinion, and members of the opposition parties have also begun to take action.

As a result, a massive demonstration unfolded, with protesters emerging from all directions and quickly gathering in the streets of major cities, holding up signs demanding the cabinet's resignation.

The protesters surged toward the Cabinet Building! This time, they had a very clear goal and solid intelligence: the Cabinet Secretary and his staff would be working at the Cabinet Building!

Surrounding the Cabinet Building has become their primary objective.

Meanwhile, inside the Cabinet Building meeting room.

The cabinet chief, seated at the head of the table, was working at a breakneck pace, contemplating the next course of action with his fellow cabinet members.

After much discussion, no one came up with a practical solution, and almost all avenues were blocked!
There was originally a sliver of hope, but that last hope vanished after the cabinet leader's remarks were proven false.

Almost every cabinet member looked worried and distressed, as if they had no other options but to sigh and complain.

As a result, the atmosphere in the conference hall became quite strange, even extremely heavy!
Just then, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and the intelligence officer rushed in looking extremely flustered.

Before he could catch his breath, the man in the tree anxiously reported, "Chief Cabinet Secretary, something terrible has happened."

What terrible thing could have happened?
The cabinet chief felt his head buzzing. Could there be anything bigger than this? He felt his resilience increasing rapidly, and he was becoming immune to so-called major events!

"The second half of the peace talks between the Dragon Summer Tribe and the Eagle Tribe hasn't even started yet, so what major event could possibly happen?" the cabinet leader said, quite displeased.

"Your Excellency, a large amount of information has surfaced online claiming that the public intends to surround the Cabinet Building. They demand the truth, not what Your Excellency previously stated, that you are deceiving them!"

As he uttered his last words, Takashima could almost hear his heart pounding. After speaking, he cautiously glanced at the Cabinet Chief.

After the report, he immediately handed the intelligence documents to the head of the cabinet.

Even after hearing the report, the cabinet chief's face remained incredibly dark, and the muscles around his eyes twitched uncontrollably. This was truly a major event! (End of Chapter)
