I built an armada.

Therefore, the current chieftain is in a very difficult position.

To fight or not to fight is an extremely difficult choice. If he doesn't fight, he feels he'll lose face and can't swallow this insult!

Of course, aside from this, another thorny issue arises.

If they don't fight, it means that all the high-ranking talents from the Longxia tribes detained by the European countries will be taken back by the Longxia naval expeditionary fleet without exception, which means that all their previous efforts will be in vain.

This is not the most difficult problem.

The most troublesome thing is that this will stir up a huge wave on Earth, which will sweep across the entire European Ocean and even impact the entire Western world!
Previously, such incidents did not only occur in the countries of the European Sea Circle, but also in the Eagle Tribe and other Western countries.

The chieftain felt that none of the students from the Eagle Tribe could compare to Mr. Qian. Moreover, he had great confidence in his country's superior military strength and national power, which would attract more top talents, so he didn't take them too seriously.

To his utter surprise, the mighty Eagle Tribe lost to the Dragon Summer Tribe in the naval battle, forcing them to negotiate peace and issue a joint statement to reconcile.

Therefore, it is difficult to guarantee that the impact of this matter will not expand indefinitely, thus causing those high-ranking talents who are stranded in the Eagle Tribe to also consider returning to the Dragon Summer Tribe.

It might not be immediately apparent, and its impact on the Eagle Tribe might be extremely limited, but over time, it will have a lasting and gradual effect. Who knows, perhaps there isn't a top-tier strategic scientist like Qian Xuesen among them?
Who knew that after returning to China, Qian Lao thrived like a fish in water, forging a sharp sword for the Longxia tribe, enabling the country to possess its own nuclear weapons and satellites, thus gaining a foothold in the international arena, and even they had to give him some face.

Once the butterfly effect takes hold, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Without the two bombs and one satellite, the Longxia tribe is no different from the Keyi tribe. Even with a million-strong army and an iron torrent, they can be easily defeated!

It is precisely because of these objective factors that the Great Chieftain hesitated and found himself in a dilemma.

His biggest worry now is that among the students from the Longxia tribe, there might suddenly be a strategic scientist like Qian Xuesen, then they would be at a huge loss!
Of course, the probability of a top scientist like Qian Xuesen reappearing is extremely small, but we cannot rule out this very small probability.

"Great Chief, we just received a message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They say that the Dragon Xia people will hold our aircraft carrier fleet hostage for another half hour before they will let us pass."

"Moreover, the people from Longxia said they would hold a farewell ceremony."

At this moment, the staff reported again.

"Fuck, why are they detaining us for an extra half hour? What kind of strategic buffer is this? I think they're doing it on purpose!"

The chieftain, looking extremely displeased, nearly smashed the cup on the table to pieces. "Do I need their welcoming ceremony? If they didn't have something on me that they could use against me, I would have already lost my temper. Do you think I'm afraid of them?"

"Hmph, they're a bunch of bastards, I really wish I could..."

In the end, the chieftain did not continue speaking, but only snorted a few times. He knew very well that continuing to speak would be futile, and at most it would only be a way to vent his dissatisfaction.

What's the point of venting? In the end, it still doesn't solve the problem.

After hesitating for a moment, the chieftain slowly said, "Forget it, I think we should just let it go and let them be. We'll leave it for now."

At this moment, the aide suddenly spoke up: "So far, this matter is really troublesome to handle. After all, we have two aircraft carrier fleets being held by the Dragon Xia people. In addition, the White Bear tribe knows that our peace talks have ended, so they are in a passive position."

"Of course, the European countries are hesitant because they saw that the Dragon Xia Navy won a victory in the waters of the Eastern Continent. They are worried that if they act rashly and suffer a defeat, the consequences would be too great."

The chief agreed wholeheartedly, believing it to be true.

They hadn't fully grasped the capabilities of the Longxia Navy beforehand, which is why they were caught off guard and suffered a setback.

This battle in the Eastern Seas made him realize the strength of the Dragon Xia Navy, and that was only one-third of the force that remained at home.

An astonishing two-thirds of the naval forces were deployed to the European waters!

Even so, he still thought he had to go all out no matter what, and even considered using nuclear weapons to sink the Longxia Navy's warships when pushed to the limit.

There was really no other way; the situation had changed.

There are two main reasons. First, the Longxia Navy is becoming increasingly powerful. Second, the Longxia tribe has secretly mastered the Yunfan series of anti-ship ballistic missiles, a trump card weapon.

In addition, a number of other things came together, which led to their failure and caught them off guard!
The result was this conflict that occurred in the waters of Dongzhou, in which the Eagle Tribe was at a disadvantage.

This is something that has never happened in decades. Even the Eagle Tribe has never been suppressed like this, making them lose face.

But now, it has actually happened!
The key point is that the other party was someone their Eagle Tribe Navy had once crushed!

As for more details about the conflict, given that it was a failed case, he naturally didn't want to disclose them publicly.

Otherwise, wouldn't the reputation and international standing of the Eagle Tribe suffer a huge negative impact? Once damaged, those other Western countries might not be so obedient, and might even turn against them!
As the leader of the Western countries, he knows all too well what kind of people the rest of the Western countries really are.

However, the chief didn't want those top talents to return to the Longxia tribe to help build the country.

At this moment, an advisor timely reminded him: "Great Chieftain, we recently reached some agreements with the Dragonxia tribe. How should we respond to the other countries in Europe?"

After rubbing his face vigorously with both hands a few times, the chieftain waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's let it go this time. We won't participate in the Dragon Xia Navy's expedition to Europe anymore."

"Not participating anymore?"

The staff member stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"Yes."

The Great Chieftain sat up straight and said solemnly, "We will not participate. We have already reached an agreement with the Dragonxia people, and they also have two aircraft carrier fleets under our control. The terms are unfavorable to us!"

The words had already been spoken so bluntly. After pondering for a moment, the advisor nodded and said, "Yes, that is indeed the case."

"Great Chief, I will now make things clear to them and let them decide for themselves."

"Well, that's it."

The chieftain sighed, looking helpless.

The aide who received the order turned and strode out, leaving the chieftain alone in the office, smoking a cigar and venting his frustration.

His expression quickly hardened, radiating a chilling killing intent. "We absolutely cannot allow the Longxia tribe to continue growing stronger and become the second White Bear tribe to oppose our country. We must stop their rise!"

"Otherwise, it will have endless consequences for our country."

However, the Great Chief was a very rational person. He quickly suppressed his unpleasant thoughts and focused all his attention on dealing with the White Bear Tribe's sudden attack on northern Europe. As for the matter of reforming the Dragon Xia Tribe, he put it aside.

After all, the previous Dark Night Plan had not been fully implemented yet, so there was still room for maneuver.

As for the 'Squid Plan' to bleed out the White Bear tribe, it is still in the planning stage. Once it is completed, he does not believe that the White Bear tribe can turn the tide.

In the chief's view, dealing with the White Bear tribe was much easier than dealing with the Dragon Xia tribe.

The White Bear Tribe inherited most of the Su Alliance's legacy, but also all of its shortcomings, and has not made any significant changes to date.

Thinking about these things, the chieftain's mood improved considerably.

On the other side, in the British Quarter, at Downing Street, the Prime Minister's official residence.

Prime Minister António remained in his office, holding a video conference with the top leaders of the other six countries. However, the atmosphere was somewhat tense, with everyone wearing a somber expression.

They haven't been able to make contact with the Great Chief of the Eagle Tribe for some time now, which is causing them great anxiety.

The more unresponsive the chieftain was, the more uncertain they felt, as if they had lost their pillar of support.

"How is it? Has any of you managed to contact the High Chief?"

Anthony finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, full of distress.

The head of the Hans tribe shook his head helplessly and said, "I have already instructed the foreign affairs department to keep in touch with the Eagle tribe. As long as the chief is not deliberately avoiding us, I believe he will respond soon."

The representatives from the other five countries then spoke up.

“We haven’t had any conflict with the Eagle Tribe, so why is he avoiding us? This makes no sense at all.”

"Don't you see how strange this is? It's extremely strange."

"I have a terrible idea, can you help me analyze it? If that's the case, is the Great Chief unwilling to deal with matters related to the Dragonxia Tribe? If so, there must be something in the Eastern Continent Sea that we don't know about, which is causing the Great Chief to hesitate."

"The possibility you mentioned cannot be ruled out. If that's the case, then we're in trouble and in an even more passive position. What do you think?"

"It's hard to say. In any case, judging from the chieftain's attitude before and after, this matter is strange, and there must be some inside story that we don't know. Otherwise, why would the Eagle Tribe suddenly shake hands and make peace with the Dragon Summer Tribe?"

After the topic was brought up, the leaders of the seven countries were all depressed, and an ominous premonition began to spread in their hearts, making them feel that this possibility was the most likely.

"Could it be that, as the Eagle Tribe said, the Dragon Xia Navy is really that strong?"

"So, the Eagle Tribe's carrier fleet suffered an irreversible defeat in this conflict?"

“I think this is the most likely explanation. Only this can explain why the Great Chief ignored our calls. Otherwise, given the Great Chief’s nature, he would have already ordered us to take action. Have you forgotten? He flew into a rage once when we were even slightly slow in our operation.”

"His nature has suddenly changed, which means that this matter is probably not so simple."

The more the bigwigs talked, the more apprehensive they became, and they all fell into anxiety. Just then, Richard from the Military Intelligence Bureau rushed in, and their attention was finally drawn to this.

"Prime Minister, something terrible has happened."

Upon hearing Richard's words, Anthony's brow twitched violently, and his heart skipped a beat. He instinctively asked a question.

"Has the fighting in the north faltered? Or has war broken out in the south?"

Of course, he didn't think about the Eagle Tribe, much less about the Great Chieftain.

The chieftain had already stopped seeing them, so they naturally assumed that he wouldn't respond anytime soon.

"No, it's not."

Richard quickly waved his hand and then said, "Yes, it was the Great Chief who sent someone to deliver the message."

What? The Great Chief?
Upon hearing this title, all the bigwigs present were instantly energized and perked up.

They had waited anxiously here for so long, hoping the Great Chief would reply. They had almost given up, but unexpectedly, news arrived at this crucial moment.

It was as if they had been walking in the dark and suddenly saw a ray of light.

"What news? Tell me quickly."

"Hurry up, stop dawdling, what exactly did you say?"

"Yeah, why do you have that expression? You look like you're constipated."

Before Anthony could even speak, the representatives from the other six countries eagerly urged him on.

Ignoring the urging of these bigwigs, Richard swallowed hard a few times, his gaze towards Anthony becoming complicated, as he truly didn't know how to bring it up.

He worried that the information he provided was far from what Anthony expected.

Seeing Richard's constipated expression, Anthony's initial hope wavered instantly. He took a deep breath and said, "You, just say what you want to say. What's the news from over there? I'm ready."

Since the other party had already put it this way, Richard coughed lightly and said, "According to the information we received, the Great Chieftain said he would not intervene in the matter between the Dragonxia Naval Expeditionary Fleet and us, and that we should handle it ourselves."

"The Great Chief needs to concentrate his forces to deal with the White Bear Tribe."

Even though they were somewhat prepared, Anthony was still visibly stunned upon hearing this, and the other six heads of state were all dumbfounded as well. (End of Chapter)
