Chapter 928 Eagle Tribe, I'm Threatening You!

The more they watched, the more interesting it became, and it also helped them to understand the truth of the matter further.

"I've also spotted it. I'll post the picture of that destroyer for you now. (Image)"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. Let's see how that shameless cabinet leader will get out of office now. Lying comes at a price, and he's been slapped in the face."

"Look, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly named the head of the cabinet as the rumor-monger, and one picture shattered his lies!"

"We've always been so low-key, and this time we continued that style, releasing just one photo, which shut the arrogant and domineering people of the Eastern Wilderness up and made them shut their mouths and never dare to be so arrogant again!"

"I initially thought it would be a draw on the front lines, but now it seems very likely to be a narrow victory or even a big one. I'm really looking forward to the truth being revealed."

Those who had returned from their overseas expeditions also joined in, creating a truly joyous and celebratory atmosphere.

When they returned to the external network and fought back, they suddenly found that the netizens of Donghuang were powerless to fight. It was as if their spines had been removed, and they had become spineless.

Even netizens from other countries who were previously arguing heatedly with them have now chosen to remain silent.

For a moment, they even felt a sense of loneliness that comes with being invincible.

"The truth has only been revealed at the tip of the iceberg, and they have all turned into cowards. Not one of them can fight; they are all trash."

"They were so arrogant before, but now they're all silent. They really have no backbone. I actually really like their stubbornness."

"I prefer their arrogant demeanor. They were so cocky before, but now they're all dumbfounded, aren't they?"

That's right, they're actually starting to miss the arrogance of those foreign netizens and those ungrateful traitors in the immigrant community.

It's a pity that this time, the people in the immigrant community collectively chose to remain silent, not giving them any chance to fight, as if they had hidden in a turtle shell, leaving no room for them to even get a bite out of them.

Time ticked by, and soon the intermission ended, officially commencing the second half of the talks. Both sides then held a video conference.

Both sides retained their original teams. The Longxia tribe was led by Liu Huaming and Ambassador Chen, while the Eagle tribe was led by Carterwell and Kurila.

After a half-hour break, both sides calmed down, so the atmosphere was very peaceful at the start of the second half of the talks, and progress was very smooth.

After the pleasantries, General Kurilla went straight to the point: "What I want to say is that we do have some suggestions regarding the final outcome of this conflict, and we hope to discuss them with you."

Next, he quickly put forward a number of so-called suggestions, which were nothing more than whitewashing and saving face for them. The most important of these was that both sides should keep the results of the battle secret and not disclose them to the public.

Undoubtedly, for the Eagle Tribe, this was a good way to save face and wouldn't damage their international standing. But for the Dragon Summer Tribe, it was like achieving great success and then having to hide their achievements in secret.

Wouldn't that mean the victory was for nothing? They were hoping that this victory would greatly boost the morale of the people and motivate them to devote themselves more energetically to economic development.

Therefore, Ambassador Chen flatly rejected the suggestion: "Mr. Kurilla, don't you think such a suggestion is ridiculous? You know, the truth will eventually come out!"

Kurila responded blankly, "That's our business, why are you so concerned?"

"As for keeping it a secret, I've thought about it and I can agree to it."

Ambassador Chen suddenly changed the subject, saying, "However, we must also make it clear that Haiyu Island and Weiba Island, as well as the surrounding waters, belong to us. This has been the case since ancient times, and we have ample historical evidence to back it up."

"Your side needs to make a clear statement in the final joint announcement signed by both parties."

Upon hearing this, General Kurilla and Carterwell exchanged a glance, but hesitated, as they were really reluctant to agree to the terms.

Even though they already knew that the Longxia tribe had historical evidence of its existence, losing Tail Island and Sea Fish Island meant losing a means of controlling the Longxia tribe. It was also a betrayal of the Eastern Wilderness tribe, since the Eastern Wilderness people claimed that as their territory.

Although the people of the Eastern Wilderness like to talk nonsense in order to expand their territorial waters, the two sides are allies.

It will be much more difficult to use this opportunity to cause trouble in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons, they still chose to agree, because the interests of the Eagle Tribe were what they cared about and would protect the most!
Next, Curryra said directly, "What do you think about us announcing to the public that it's a draw? That is, a tie?"

"Okay. We agree." Liu Huaming nodded.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Kurila stared at Liu Huaming for a while, and after confirming that there was no foul play, she said directly, "Since we've reached a draw, there's naturally no need for war reparations. How about we shake hands and make peace?"

Ambassador Chen stated directly, "That's not a problem either. We only used up some missiles. As for these losses, we can demand compensation from the Eastern Wilderness tribes! You have no objections, right?"

Holy crap, you can do that?
Both Curry and Carterwell were visibly taken aback for a moment, and then an embarrassed look appeared on their faces.

It's important to understand that their losses were enormous; two aircraft carriers were severely damaged, and nine warships were sunk.

On the contrary, their frontline naval and air forces haven't even gotten close to the Dragon Xia Navy. This is not just a little shameful, it's an utter disgrace!

As for compensation, Liu Huaming didn't care much. After all, he knew that trying to squeeze money out of the Eagle Tribe was practically impossible. Besides, Su Dingping had already taken care of the necessary benefits; once they boarded the Enterprise aircraft carrier, they could thoroughly understand its core technologies. With such substantial profits, there was no need to argue heatedly over a small gain, potentially leading to the loss of future benefits.

Having made up his mind, Liu Huaming said, "After the peace talks conclude, we will discuss these issues with the Eastern Wilderness Tribe. Of course, we also hope that your side will not interfere in this matter."

"This is our bottom line, and also our principle!"

Liu Huaming's attitude was unquestionable, and it also expressed that this was the final bottom line.

They have already made corresponding concessions to the Eagle Tribe, so naturally the Eagle Tribe cannot interfere in this matter.

"no problem."

Carterwell nodded and said, "However, we hope you will not interfere with our garrison bases deployed in the Eastern Wilderness tribes."

Liu Huaming stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "As long as the garrison base does not pose a substantial threat to our security, we will not intervene. However, if it threatens us, we will eliminate it immediately!"

"Don't blame us for not giving you advance notice before we acted."

Threat, this is a naked threat.

General Kurila's face immediately turned ashen, and he coldly snorted, "Hmph!"

As the supreme commander of the Pacific Naval Command, four-star general Kurilla had never been threatened like this before, but he could not vent his anger and could only suffer in silence!
He was filled with anger, but he couldn't vent it now, otherwise he would be seen as disrupting the peace talks, and the Longxia people would definitely seize on it and make a big fuss about it!

Moreover, this threat came from Liu Huaming, the highest-ranking officer of the Longxia Navy, and it occurred at the peace talks.

When has the Eagle Tribe ever been threatened like this in person? Especially in front of him, a four-star general. They've reached their limit, yet they have no choice but to endure it!
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The key issue is that they no longer have the strength to retaliate against the Longxia tribe.

In the past, if the Eagle Tribe had faced such blatant provocation and threat, they would have reacted immediately, leading their allies in a verbal attack and personally deploying force, sending a large army to invade!
Just like the Kei tribe, even a massive army of millions was wiped out in one fell swoop.

If it weren't for this defeat on the front lines, General Kurila wouldn't have taken it seriously. As soon as the peace talks ended, he would have immediately sought an opportunity to retaliate, crushing the Longxia tribe and replicating the great victory he achieved in attacking the Kei tribe!
Previously, when he heard the threat from Xu Dongguo, the Longxia naval commander brought back by Navarro during the first round of consultations, saying that he would utterly destroy all of your aircraft carriers, he not only scoffed at it but also found it extremely ridiculous.

Because the war hadn't started yet, he believed that the Eagle Tribe's navy was the strongest on the planet, and no one could rival them!
Everyone in the Eagle Tribe, from top to bottom, thought it was a huge joke; only the weak would make verbal threats and indulge in empty talk.

Who would have thought that after this battle, these high-ranking officials of the Pacific Naval Command, as well as the chieftain who was stationed in the Eagle Tribe's homeland, were all stunned, but also woke up!

They finally realized that it was virtually impossible to replicate the Kei tribe's great victory in the Eastern Seas, because the Longxia tribe was not the Kei tribe; the two were fundamentally different!

Decades have passed, but the Longxia tribe has not weakened and is still as difficult to defeat as before, even with its weakest navy and air force!

Even if they don't believe it, the outcome of the war is now in, and they have to admit it, whether they want to or not. The Longxia tribe does indeed have the confidence and strength to do so!

What's most terrifying is the creativity of the Longxia people. They quietly developed an anti-ship ballistic missile with a speed exceeding Mach 13, which directly destroyed all their air defense and anti-missile systems, thus causing the aircraft carrier to be attacked and paralyzed.

They naturally didn't know how many such powerful weapons the Longxia tribe possessed, and they didn't have the resources to test them. After all, an aircraft carrier costs billions of dollars, while an anti-ship ballistic missile costs only a few dollars.
Before a weapon capable of intercepting this type of weapon is developed, sending an aircraft carrier fleet there would be suicide, since even a single aircraft carrier fleet cannot protect a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Then the military base would be helpless against such missiles, as the air defense and anti-missile systems would be powerless to stop them.

That's why they didn't find Liu Huaming's words funny; on the contrary, they had to take them seriously because they were incredibly powerful and could be transformed into real war strength!
Even though Kurila was extremely unhappy and wanted to pin Liu Huaming to the ground and beat him up, he had to admit that the Dragon Xia Navy was no longer what it used to be; it truly possessed extraordinary strength!

Or more precisely, the Longxia tribe has mastered the land-based version of medium- and short-range ballistic missile technology.

It has not been detected yet, but it is already equipped on its warships. However, he thinks it is only a matter of time, since it is just a different platform. The Longxia Navy already has 10,000-ton destroyers that can fully accommodate this anti-ship ballistic missile.

Once it reaches that point, the balance of power between offense and defense may truly shift!

Unless they deploy their most advanced air defense and anti-missile systems, which are normally stationed on their home islands, at military bases in the East Asian waters or on warships, thereby increasing the probability of interception.

But it only increases the probability of interception; no one can guarantee that it will be 100% intercepted!
After all, in actual combat deployment, if a mistake is made, the cost can be lives!
"This is really a damn headache!"

General Kurila felt a surge of displeasure. "Damn those Dragon Xia people, they actually came up with such a ferocious weapon of mass destruction!"

He quickly realized another problem: the latest air defense and anti-missile system was too large to be deployed alone within the military base.

The air defense and anti-missile systems they deployed under the 'Dark Night Project' were a generation behind those deployed domestically by the Eagle Tribe.

Ultimately, the reason was that the Great Chief was also afraid that providing technical support to the Eastern Wilderness tribes would allow them to learn from the Eastern Wilderness people.

Don't assume that air defense and missile defense only require deploying one system. It also needs the support of reconnaissance and early warning satellites in the sky to predict the location of enemy missiles in advance.

While the Eagle Tribe has indeed deployed a large number of satellites, they have far too many places to monitor, so the number of satellites used for surveillance in the Eastern Continent's waters is relatively small.

As a result, the overall interception efficiency will be at least 30% lower than that in China!
