I built an armada.

The cabinet leader couldn't help but recall the time when, after the second defeat, he was forced to sign a public surrender document by being blocked at the door by the Longxia navy.

This also brought a great humiliation to the Eastern Wilderness tribe, and he even felt that he would be letting down the former leaders of the Eastern Wilderness Cabinet if he did not avenge this defeat. The successive defeats finally made him realize the reality, and he exploded with rage.

So he began to reflect, and eventually basically determined that the two biggest mistakes he had made in his life were choosing to go to war with the Longxia Navy one after the other.

The key point is that he had a strange sense of self-confidence both times.

The first time, they thought that the East Wilderness Sea Self-Defense Force alone could easily crush the arrogance of the Dragon Xia Navy, but they encountered a backlash and were blocked at the gate by the Dragon Xia Navy.

In the end, the chief himself stepped forward to take full responsibility, announced his resignation, and handed over the throne to the current chief ahead of schedule, thus shielding his cabinet members from this blow.

The second time, thinking that the Eagle Tribe had personally intervened and that they had purchased so much advanced equipment from them, they felt confident that they could finally take revenge.

As a result, they messed up again, and the situation got even worse!

Even though the previous chief took responsibility and mitigated much of the impact of the first incident, the anger it generated still lingered in the hearts of the people and did not completely disappear.

Now, with this latest incident, it's easy to imagine that the public's anger will be even more terrifying!
Just as the cabinet chief was feeling extremely agitated, a cabinet minister with a pointed face and monkey-like features roared angrily.

"Damn the Dragon Xia tribe, why should we give them an answer? Who do they think they are? We've already been defeated, what more do they want?"

"Our newly rebuilt Maritime Self-Defense Force and aircraft carrier fleet have been wiped out by them, and our air force has lost more than a third of its strength. Isn't that enough?"

"The base on the Alyu Islands has been destroyed, a major general has been killed in action, and numerous frontline commanders have all perished. Isn't that enough?"

"We've already suffered such heavy losses, and they're still being so aggressive. They're insatiable! They're too domineering, and we can't tolerate them!"

His outburst immediately triggered a chain reaction. No sooner had he finished speaking than another cabinet minister stepped forward—the bald cabinet minister.

As soon as he stood up, he roared, "The people of Longxia are too domineering and have gone too far. We've already suffered so much, and they still want to push us further. We absolutely cannot compromise; we must take them to the Blue Star Alliance!"

"Don't think that just because we were beaten so badly, they can do whatever they want!"

Another cabinet minister chimed in, "That's right! We can't let ourselves be so miserable and let the shameless Longxia people bully us. We must fight back and show them how tough we are!"

Undoubtedly, their indignant words resonated with many cabinet ministers, who all looked displeased, as if they had suffered a great injustice.

They seem to have forgotten that this maritime conflict was initiated by the Eastern Wilderness tribes, and the defeated must naturally pay the corresponding price!
But now, they act like innocent victims, feeling wronged, throwing tantrums and acting like scoundrels!
Before the cabinet members could come up with a solution, the announcement from the Longxia Foreign Affairs Department spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, and netizens were naturally the first to receive the news.

"Shocking! The Longxia tribe is demanding an explanation from us! We appear to have suffered a major setback on the front lines!"

Even though it was done very subtly, without using the word "defeat," it still caused a stir on the entire Eastern Wilderness internet, with netizens going wild on the spot.

"Baka! Who spread this fake news? Damn it, are they trying to undermine morale again?"

"What?! We've actually suffered a major setback? How is that possible? We have the powerful naval and air support of the Eagle Tribe behind us!"

"That's right, we still have Amaterasu and Yamata no Omikami to protect us, so we shouldn't be like this."

"That's right, how could we possibly be defeated? Didn't the Cabinet Chief say we won? It was the Eagle Tribe that won for us in the end!"

Anger swept across the entire Eastern Wilderness network in an instant, and many Eastern Wilderness netizens began smashing keyboards and slamming tables.

Numerous Eastern Wilderness people, closely monitoring the situation, poured out from all directions, rushing madly into the street like swarming ants.

As a result, the already large number of people seeking the truth and demonstrating had an explosive increase in numbers, and they crowded the city streets, constantly gathering towards the Cabinet Building!

At certain key road checkpoints, they naturally encountered obstruction from security personnel, leading to further conflicts. The situation escalated rapidly, quickly spiraling out of control.

It can be said that the entire Eastern Wilderness tribe was in turmoil, and the new immigrants were cowering at home in fear, not even daring to go to the market to buy groceries!

At this moment, a large number of East Wilderness people gathered outside the Cabinet Building compound to demonstrate. They were still rational and only shouted and waved flags, without taking any extreme actions.

"We demand the truth; the cabinet cannot conceal it!"

"We have the right to know what's really going on at the front lines; you can't deceive us!"

"The head of the cabinet must come out and give an explanation; we demand direct dialogue!"

Just as they were shouting enthusiastically, the news reached them. Many were stunned at first, and there was a brief moment of silence at the scene.

They gathered in front of the Cabinet building hoping for an explanation from the Cabinet, but they never expected that the Longxia tribe would suddenly demand an explanation from the Donghuang tribe!
Considering that they hadn't been at the negotiating table before, a terrible idea quickly popped into everyone's minds: could they have put something on the menu?
In other words, the actual situation on the front lines was far worse than they had imagined!

The thought of this made everyone feel as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throats, and their eyes quickly turned red. A raging fire of anger burned in their hearts, as if it would burn them completely.

In other words, they are just one final push away from a complete explosion of power.

Just a moment later, the shouts suddenly grew louder, and the loudspeakers that had stopped earlier joined in, shouting hysterically.

"We demand the truth, not deception, and certainly not rumors! The head of the cabinet, come out and give us the truth! Why is the Longxia tribe demanding an explanation from us? Has our military been defeated on the front lines?"

“We are ordinary citizens, but we are not fools. We cannot let you continue to blind us! When will we know the truth? Have we been defeated, or what?”

"You've already ousted the previous chief, are you still going to cower like turtles? Have you lost your conscience?"

"Cabinet Chief, I know you're in the building. You must come out and give us answers. We will no longer believe your lies. We demand the true figures on frontline casualties. We demand the truth!"

"You cannot continue to cower, or we will launch an even more ferocious attack!" The waves of protests and demonstrations grew louder and louder, filled with discontent and anger. Amplified by loudspeakers, these voices quickly swept in all directions and even soared into the sky, shaking the floors of the Cabinet Building.

The news naturally reached the meeting hall, shocking the cabinet chief and his entourage to the point of deafness. Their faces were filled with horror and bitterness!
Faced with thousands of people moving in unison and shouting through loudspeakers, the security personnel's expressions changed. What they feared most was that these people would suddenly launch an attack and crush them to the ground!
In terms of numbers, the security personnel were clearly at a disadvantage. Even with all the equipment they had, they were no match for the enraged crowd.

Suddenly, one of the security guards couldn't hold on any longer and instinctively took a step back, causing the previously orderly formation to falter.

Upon seeing this, the protesters immediately took a big step forward, followed by the others, forcing the security personnel to retreat.

As a result, the momentum that the security personnel had initially built up instantly weakened due to this action, and their hearts began to pound. They were genuinely afraid that they would not be able to hold back the angry crowd.

Just as the security formation was about to collapse, a sudden screech of brakes rang out, and the car doors opened as a large number of heavily armed security personnel filed out of the vehicle.

As soon as they arrived, they immediately formed a riot shield formation, standing in neat rows behind the security personnel.

Soon the security personnel received the order to rotate shifts, and the riot police immediately stepped in to take their place.

Upon seeing this, the protesters immediately rushed forward, but unexpectedly, they were pushed back by riot police, who quickly formed a human wall and blocked their way.

In this way, even if they wanted to charge, they had no chance, and were intimidated by the imposing presence of these fierce-looking riot police. After all, they were just ordinary people, not organized and disciplined armed personnel.

The momentum of the demonstrators weakened considerably, and they became hesitant and unwilling to take a single step forward.

Thus, a new standoff arose.

The cabinet ministers in the meeting room happened to see this through the window and breathed a sigh of relief.

With heavily armed riot police maintaining order, it's unlikely that the angry crowd will be able to break through the security lines in the short term. However, they are unsure how long this situation can be maintained.

Moreover, if these people don't attack and instead adopt a passive approach, they too will not be able to withstand the pressure.

"You don't need to be afraid for now."

Seeing that the protesters below had been stopped, one cabinet minister patted his chest lightly, looking much more relaxed.

The next second, he turned to look at the cabinet chief sitting in the chief seat.

Not only him, but everyone else also focused their attention on the head of the cabinet, waiting for his next decision.

However, the cabinet leader remained seated with his mouth tightly shut, showing no intention of speaking.

They looked as if they hadn't noticed their concern at all.

Holy crap, could the cabinet leader just kick the bucket like that?
"Cabinet Chief?"

The bald cabinet minister called out tentatively, raising his voice several times over.

"Cough cough!"

After coughing softly several times, the head of the cabinet finally sat up straight and slowly said, "So far, the peace talks between the Dragon Summer Tribe and the Eagle Tribe have ended, haven't they?"

A minister checked the time and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the time, their bilateral talks have already concluded."

"Then at this time, the Great Chief should be able to free up some time."

The Cabinet Chief looked over at the Foreign Minister and said, "I need to speak directly with the Great Chief immediately and find out his attitude."

"Did their negotiations involve our interests? Contact them quickly."

His tone was very serious and earnest, as if he were making a final, desperate struggle.

At this point, he already understood one thing: if they weren't at the negotiating table, then they were very likely on the menu.

If the Great Chieftain forbids the Longxia people from sharing the spoils with them, then they might still have a glimmer of hope.

Upon hearing these words, the cabinet ministers all seemed to have suddenly realized something, their faces filled with a look of sudden understanding.

So much time has passed. Even if the Great Chief is very busy, he should have finished all his business by now. Shouldn't he answer their call now?

If the Eagle Tribe and the Dragon Summer Tribe reach an agreement that benefits the Eastern Wilderness Tribe during their peace talks, then they might have a chance to maintain their current status.

At this moment, this is what they care about most; as long as they don't step down, everything is fine.

At this moment, they grasped at this last chance as if it were a lifeline; success or failure hinged on this one tremor.

The contents of the announcement from Longxia's Foreign Affairs Department not only reached the Eastern Wilderness Tribe and were known to countless people in the Eastern Wilderness, but were also noticed by many Longxia netizens, and were even pinned to the top of the Tiexue Forum.

In this way, the news swept through the entire Longxia cyberspace like a tornado.

Unlike the people of Donghuang who were grieving, the netizens of Longxia were overjoyed and celebrated. For them, this was a great victory!

"Breaking news: We have officially launched an attack on the Eastern Wilderness tribes to settle scores and demand an explanation from them!"

Undoubtedly, after this post was published, many netizens and military enthusiasts gained a better understanding of the actual situation, especially since the information came from official sources.

The content is remarkably concise, yet incredibly impactful, leaving many netizens thrilled and exclaiming how satisfying it was! (End of Chapter)
