I built an armada.

Chapter 946 The people of the Eastern Wilderness are in disarray, fighting amongst themselves.
The navy's impressive performance in this battle against the Eagle Tribe's navy is truly commendable.

Su Dingping has reaped a bountiful harvest again; the surprises keep coming!

On the other side, in the Longxia tribe, a mysterious place within the Naval Headquarters military base, surrounded by high walls and electric fences, the guards were not ordinary police officers, but rather a uniformly armed group of soldiers.

The dozens of rooms were almost crammed full of people, all from the Eastern Wilderness tribe, speaking in the Eastern Wilderness language.

This group of people were the ones who had been detained and brought back from Haiyu Island and Weiba Island.

Previously, they had built a second garrison base for the Eagle Tribe on those two islands, with technical personnel as well as staff responsible for security and supervision.

Of course, this also included all the East Wilderness sailors from the destroyer HMS Borei that had recently been brought back from the front lines.

They took him away for interrogation and then brought him here!

Their arrival immediately made the already crowded detention center even more crowded.

Actually, you can't really blame the navy for being stingy. It's just that there were too many people from the Eastern Wilderness brought back at once, and there was no way to find a suitable place in the shortest amount of time.

Aside from that, the conflict ended far too quickly; no one expected them to defeat the powerful U.S.-Japan alliance.

In any case, the navy's rise has only lasted for a short two years. Whether it is personnel training or other factors, it is very weak. Although it has defeated the Eastern Wilderness Tribe Maritime Self-Defense Force and the combined fleet of several countries, the level of these opponents is not even in the same league as the Eagle Tribe.

What's more, this time it's a joint fleet composed of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe and the Eagle Tribe!

The difference is even greater, like heaven and earth, which is incredibly frustrating.

Naturally, no one paid much attention to the size of the interrogation room.

Furthermore, the subsequent victories of the navy were basically the result of complete annihilation.

In addition, the Navy focused its main efforts on the expansion of the military factory, the integrated naval military factory, and the Pangu Research Base, which naturally left the Navy with little energy to expand the interrogation site.

The space was simply too small to be used properly, so the only option was to cramm these people together in one place, even if it meant squeezing them in.

However, before being detained, these people were interrogated separately, and some procedures still needed to be followed.

Inside the crowded prison, it was still quite lively, with many people communicating and greeting each other in the Eastern Wilderness language through the iron gate.

Since they were not criminals, they were not treated like criminals, and no one stopped them from discussing these matters.

Moreover, this has always been the Longxia people's policy of treating prisoners of war well.

They were still hoping that these people would stand up and expose the crimes of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe when the Eastern Wilderness Tribe lied to the world and denied its territorial invasion of the Dragon Summer Tribe, thus giving the Eastern Wilderness Tribe a good slap in the face.

In any case, the existence of these people from the Eastern Wilderness is the best proof!

"Hey guys next door, where did you come from? Many of the people here were captured from Haiyu Island."

"So far, we haven't been treated inhumanely. It seems that the legend of the Longxia army treating prisoners well is not false. I can clearly feel that I've gained weight in these few days of detention."

They quickly received a response from the inmates in the next cell.

"So it was you. I knew it."

Upon hearing this, the person who spoke first was visibly taken aback: "You actually know us? Which part are you from?"

Clearly, he hadn't expected that the other party would even know of their existence. Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?
However, the people on the other end remained silent for quite some time, as if they were hesitating.

That's right, the people here really don't know how to broach this issue right now; it's just too difficult.

Seeing that the other party still did not respond, the man spoke again: "I am Inoshita Sato, I was brought here from Umi-no-Island. Our leader is Koizumi Santa, he has been sent to the hospital, he was injured earlier. May I ask who you are?"

"I...I am Mai Onodera!" The person on the other end hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Onodera Mai, where is your leader?" Inoshita Sato asked curiously.

"I am Onodera Mai, the captain of the destroyer Hokkaido."

There was no need for much introduction; Onodera Mai revealed her identity directly.

As expected, the other people in the cells fell silent after hearing this. Clearly, they were all shocked by Onodera Mai's identity.

And so, a very strange situation arose. Both sides were from the Eastern Wilderness and had started talking. But after Onodera Mai said those words, the originally noisy place instantly became extremely quiet!

Silence spread like a ghost in the small space, and the atmosphere was somewhat eerie.

Sato Inoshita was completely stunned, never expecting the other party to be of such high status.

Actually, he was just bored and wanted to chat with some people from the surrounding Eastern Wilderness to pass the time and find out their true situation.

If we're both from the same place, then we can have a more in-depth conversation next time we're out of the way, so we can look out for each other in the future. After all, having someone you know around always makes you feel safer.

Who would have thought that the other party was actually Onodera Mai, the captain of the destroyer Kitakaze? It's like Qiaoqiao's mother opened the door for Qiaoqiao, what a coincidence!

I had never heard of Mai Onodera before, but I was very familiar with the famous Kitakaze.

Furthermore, according to the initial operational deployment, the Kitakaze belonged to the Fukuno carrier fleet. However, due to its responsibility to maintain the security of the forward air base on the Alyu Islands, several warships were drawn from the carrier fleet to form a temporary defense fleet. Of course, such operational deployment was not something that lower-ranking officers like Inoshita Sato would know, but he did know the names of the other seventeen warships in the Fukuno carrier fleet.

In any case, after the last battle with the Longxia Navy, the Donghuanghai Self-Defense Force was wiped out except for a few ships, forcing it to publicly announce its surrender. The chieftain personally stepped forward to take all the blame and eventually stepped down in disgrace.

Such a momentous event would be deeply etched in the memory of every Donghuang person, and naturally, they would focus more of their attention on rebuilding Haizi.

So much so that they remembered the names of all the frigates and destroyers that they had purchased from the Eagle Tribe.

Of course, the most important thing is that the official names of all these warships have been made public. Doing so lets everyone in the Eastern Wilderness know that the navy has been rebuilt, has new warships, and is more confident!
On the other hand, it is natural to use force to deter neighboring countries and make it clear to everyone that the Eastern Wilderness Tribe has not been defeated, but has instead risen again.

Now, unexpectedly, Onodera Mai, the captain of the destroyer Kitakaze, is being held in the same detention center as them, instantly making things difficult for Inoshita Sato.

Honestly, the North Wind is a warship imported from the Eagle Tribe. You should be with the North Wind, fighting against the Dragon Xia Navy. How can you stay in this godforsaken place like them?
You old rascal, you're really going to drive me crazy!
As for the others, their expressions were similar to Inoshita Sato's; they all looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, they could all guess what kind of expressions the other was wearing. They were undoubtedly experiencing the same shock and disbelief as they themselves.

What exactly happened? After they were taken away from Haiyu Island and Weiba Island, how did the situation develop?
At that moment, Inoshita Sato felt his head buzzing, and his forehead was covered with big question marks.

He remembered clearly that when the Longxia Navy captured them all from Haiyu Island and Weiba Island, the war had not yet begun, and everything was in excellent condition.

Actually, it's understandable that they were arrested. After all, they were construction workers with only a small number of armed personnel. No matter how fierce their firepower was, it couldn't compare to naval guns, so they naturally accepted their fate.

But what happened to Mai Onodera? It was a modern warship, after all!
Could it be that the destroyer Northwind was also on a mission in the nearby waters at the time, and was captured by the Longxia Navy? Then why didn't they hear anything about it? If there were any warships operating, a fight would definitely have broken out, so why didn't they hear anything at the time?
Even if they were caught, the interval between them shouldn't be several hours; they should have been caught together.

The detention center had twenty or thirty rooms, all of which held people from the Eastern Wilderness. At this moment, they were all silent, as if their mouths were taped shut.

At this moment, Inoshita Sato was extremely embarrassed, wishing he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes and move in right away.

Only he himself knew how shocked he was when he heard Onodera Mai say that he was the captain of the Kitakaze; his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Baka, what exactly happened?"

Inoshita Sato cursed under his breath, but not loudly, while signaling the others not to talk nonsense.

On the other side, Onodera Mai gave the same order to the others.

The people imprisoned in this room included some sailors from the Eastern Wilderness aboard the North Wind, as well as sailors who had fallen into the sea from other warships and were rescued by them, and those who had survived and swam to the North Wind to be pulled ashore.

If Captain Chen had acted ruthlessly back then, none of them would have survived.

They naturally all took Onodera Mai as their leader, and immediately remained silent, not uttering a single word.

After a while, Inoshita Sato finally couldn't take it anymore, because every second that passed was torture for their curiosity, as if it were destroying their willpower.

"Um, Captain Onodera Mai, I... I wanted to ask you, how did you end up here?"

Inoshita Sato spoke these words with extreme caution.

Even though the noise was loud, Onodera Mai pretended not to hear it and remained silent as a group.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one was answering them, someone in Inoshita Sato's room couldn't help but speak up again.

"Captain Onodera Mai, when we were captured and taken to the Dragonxia tribe, did something big happen again?"

No one answered, and Mai Onodera acted as if she hadn't heard.

Seeing that his questions went unanswered, Inoshita Sato completely lost his temper and yelled, "Onodera Mai, who the hell do you think you are? Just because you're the captain doesn't make you so great!"

"You idiot! You actually dared to act tough in front of us, but aren't you just like us? You're a prisoner of the Longxia people, a prisoner of war!"

"I was just asking you what major events had happened outside, and you've already started acting all high and mighty. If you ask me, as the captain of a destroyer from the Great Eastern Wilderness Empire, to be captured by the Dragon Xia Navy, don't you feel ashamed? No matter what the reason for being captured, this is the biggest disgrace of your life, and it's a disgrace to the country."

"Furthermore, the Northwind destroyer was recently purchased from the Eagle Tribe and possesses formidable combat capabilities. With such powerful combat capabilities, how could you become a prisoner? How can you be so shameless?"

"As the navy of the Eastern Wilderness tribe, people with the spirit of Bushido should die in battle, to live and die with the North Wind! How dare you still have the nerve to live on! It's truly pathetic and lamentable! No wonder our Eastern Wilderness is getting worse and worse, it's because of cowards like you!"

These words were incredibly sharp and harsh, and for Mai Onodera, who was already resentful about the surrender, her mood was now at its worst.

He had considered committing seppuku, but he didn't have the courage to do it!
The idea of ​​going down with the ships was indeed on their minds, but seeing one warship after another sunk by Longxia Navy missiles left them behind.

The Longxia Navy adopted a strategy of encirclement without direct attack against the Kitakaze and Chokai, gradually wearing down their already dwindling willpower. Even their courage to self-destruct their warships was extinguished.

While feeling bitter inside, Mai Onodera's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Damn it, I'd love to go down with the ship, but the Dragon Xia Navy won't give me that chance!

I can't very well tell you that the North Wind warship was also captured by the Longxia Navy, can I?

Damn Inoshita Sato, at this moment he hated him to the core and wished he could kill him with a knife.

Why should they have to endure such humiliation after already receiving this treatment? At least they participated in the war, while these people on the other side did nothing and were captured beforehand.

Onodera Mai didn't say anything, but that didn't mean his sailors could tolerate it.
