I built an armada.

A moment later, Douglas looked up at the first officer and said, "Contact Naval Headquarters, explain our situation, and inquire about our next steps."

"Yes!"

The vice-captain took immediate action after receiving the order.

The headquarters building of the military base of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

General Cruz and Koro have refused all phone calls from the high-ranking members of the Eastern Wilderness tribes, creating a situation where they have collectively lost contact.

In truth, both of them knew very well that the cabinet was desperately trying to contact them because they wanted to confirm the situation at the front and seek support. But they were powerless to help them; they could only watch helplessly.

The current cabinet, led by its leader, has fallen to its current state entirely of its own making; it has no one to blame but itself!
If it weren't for the troublemakers from the Eastern Wilderness who deliberately provoked conflict, they wouldn't have encountered the darkest moment of their military careers, which became a permanent stain on their otherwise splendid resumes!
They were already very kind by not taking advantage of the situation at this time.

"We're all about to leave, why let things here entangle us? If we can avoid getting involved, then we should."

Cruise's words were naturally agreed upon by Koro, who believed that in such situations, it was better to avoid trouble.

“Then let’s pretend we didn’t hear it,” Coro said with a smile.

No sooner had he finished speaking than an intelligence officer rushed in and urgently reported, "General, we have received the latest news from the front lines."

"News from the front?"

Cruise looked surprised, then subconsciously asked, "What news is it?"

"Reporting, General, Captain Willis reports that the Longxia Navy has given them permission to pass. Where should they go next?"

"In addition, the aircraft carrier's deck and hangar are severely damaged and require major repairs."

Koro picked up the conversation, saying, "The Dragon Summer Navy finally let us through? Is that true?"

The intelligence officer quickly replied, "Yes, Captain Willis said it himself, just now."

"So the fighting on the front lines has come to a complete end," Koro said with a sigh, his heart finally at ease.

Cruise tilted his head back and downed the coffee in his cup in one gulp, then immediately gave the order: "Send word to them to set up barges fifty kilometers away from the garrison base and await further instructions."

For him, with the frontline conflict completely over, he could finally relax completely.

The fact that the aircraft carrier suffered such a major loss is indeed a headache, and the USS Enterprise will have to return to the country for major repairs.

For at least six months afterward, the aircraft carrier will be unusable, but it's not a big deal, as it was going to return to China for maintenance anyway.

"Yes, General."

The intelligence officer accepted the order and ran out.

On the other side, on Honolulu Island in the Pacific Ocean, inside a tall building, lies the headquarters of the Pacific Naval Command.

In the spacious office, General Kurilla, who had rushed back from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, felt extremely bitter after receiving the message from Douglas. He had no choice but to issue an order for the USS Condor carrier fleet to also proceed to the garrison base to await further instructions.

Of course, he will then send a professional team to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe's garrison base to conduct a comprehensive battle damage assessment of the two aircraft carriers and formulate the next repair plan.

The primary objective, of course, was to apply for maintenance funding from the bigwigs in Congress, while simultaneously praising the strength of the Longxia Navy, claiming that its growing power had seriously threatened the global hegemony of the Eagle Tribe Navy.

After the order was issued, he immediately reported it to the Eagle Tribe.

On the other side, in the Black Palace of the Eagle Tribe, in the office of the Great Chief.

"So much time has passed, and our two carrier strike groups still haven't been allowed to pass?"

The chieftain tapped his fingers lightly on the table, asking with a hint of dissatisfaction.

After glancing at the relevant news, the aide said directly, "Great Chief, there is no relevant news to report yet."

"Why doesn't this Longxia tribe keep its promise?"

The chieftain grew increasingly dissatisfied. "They said half an hour, but it's already been more than twenty minutes. What exactly do they mean by this?"

"Great Chief, don't be angry. I'll go and check on things right away." The advisor quickly reassured him and turned to walk outside.

"Urge?"

The chieftain said impatiently, "We have two aircraft carrier fleets being held by the Dragon Xia Navy. I'm really worried about them and we must get them released as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Great Chief."

After receiving the order, the staff continued walking out of the office.

Not long after, he returned, his emotions running high, even jogging.

"Why did you come back so soon?" the chieftain asked, his brows furrowed, clearly not expecting his advisor to return so quickly.

Upon reaching the desk, the staff member hurriedly reported, "Reporting to the Great Chieftain, we just received a message from General Kurila saying that the Dragonxia Navy has allowed them to pass and even held a brief farewell ceremony."

"They've really let us through?"

The chieftain hurriedly pressed for an answer.

"Great Chieftain, General Kurila reported personally that he has verified with the two carrier fleets at the front."

The staff officer nodded and then reported truthfully, "Both carrier fleets have headed towards their garrison bases as ordered, awaiting further instructions."

"In addition, the Freedom carrier strike group is an hour and a half away from the garrison base. In the entire East Asian waters, we have only this one intact carrier strike group."

"According to reports from the front lines, the USS Enterprise and the USS Condor have both suffered varying degrees of combat damage and will need to be transferred back to the country for major repairs."

After listening to the report, the chieftain let out a long sigh of relief, and immediately felt much more relaxed.

He was already mentally prepared for the two aircraft carriers being attacked by anti-ship ballistic missiles from the Longxia tribe, and he had already reported it beforehand, so it was not big news.

As long as they are allowed to pass, then nothing will be held by the Longxia tribe. "Good thing, it seems the Longxia people still have some integrity."

The chief said meaningfully, "Next, notify the military and have them come up with a repair plan to bring the Enterprise and the Condor back to the dock for repairs as soon as possible. Our maritime operations cannot be without those two aircraft carriers."

"Yes, Great Chief." The aide quickly accepted the order.

On the other side, after receiving orders from General Cruise at the garrison base, Willis immediately led the Enterprise carrier fleet in a grand procession toward the garrison base.

He was in high spirits as he finally embarked on his return journey, enjoying coffee and cigars in a very pleasant mood.

The first mate, William, would occasionally raise his glass to clink with Willis's, exchanging pleasant anecdotes and enjoying the leisure time.

Without the pressure of war, both of them were in a good mood, and even everyone in the main control room was very happy.

Suddenly, at that moment, the radar monitor's slightly panicked voice came through: "Report, Captain, there's an anomaly on the radar. The Longxia Navy fleet has appeared!"

What? The Longxia naval fleet has appeared?
This news was like a bombshell, freezing the joy on everyone's faces.

A stunned Willis rushed to the radar display, his mood instantly turning terrible.

Previously, their radar system had no way of detecting the Longxia Navy's warships, but now they have brazenly come out on their own and are directly and openly appearing on their radar screens.

The key point is that they are all less than 199 kilometers away!
That's not all; the Longxia Navy's front-line fleet was sailing in the same direction as them, heading towards the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

"What exactly does this mean? Is the Longxia Navy ever going to stop? Are they targeting us?" Willis frowned deeply, somewhat displeased.

He was naturally unaware that the three major combat corps of the Longxia Navy were carrying out a mission from headquarters to settle scores with the Eastern Wilderness tribes after the fact, but they had not been notified in advance.

While Willis anxiously awaited General Cruise's next action orders from the garrison base, the three major combat groups of the Longxia Navy had already initiated inter-fleet communication.

On that communication channel, Cao Youren, Captain Chen, and the deputy commander of the Second Combat Corps were communicating effectively.

Captain Chen spoke first: "Following orders from headquarters, the time is ripe to settle scores with the Eastern Wilderness Tribe. Our three combat corps can now set off for the Eastern Wilderness Tribe."

"So here's the question: how should our three combat corps appear at the doorstep of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe?" asked the deputy commander of the Second Combat Corps.

Before Captain Dong left to lead a team on a mission to the aircraft carrier, he handed over the command duties to the deputy commander, who would act as the commander until Captain Dong returned.

Naturally, he was the one to participate in this discussion about how to proceed.

Once Captain Dong returns, the deputy commander will relay the agreed-upon operational plan to him!
Cao Youren picked up the thread, saying, "We are already in the waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe as the Third Combat Corps. Don't forget that."

After saying this, he felt uneasy. They had already extended their reach to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe in the relevant sea areas.

They had been in this area of ​​water for several hours, and originally thought it was just a matter of lying in wait for a while. They had even prepared to sacrifice themselves.

They had already written their wills before setting off, but they never expected things to go so smoothly, which they found hard to believe.

Keep in mind that not a single enemy missile landed near the fleet, and they were not detected by any enemy at all!

Captain Chen smiled and said, "Just think of this as paving the way for us. We'll be entering the waters related to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe to carry out our mission. With your support, it seems there won't be any major problems."

Cao Youren responded helplessly, "What you said makes me feel really bitter, really."

Then, he changed the subject and said, "Gentlemen, we came quietly and patrolled near the territory of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe without being exposed."

"Since it's a matter of settling scores after the fact, let's just go through it openly and honestly, and in a grand manner."

"After this battle, whether it's the Eagle Tribe, the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, or the whole world, everyone knows that our navy has an ambush fleet here."

"It's already an open secret, so let's just show it openly and honestly. This time, let's really let our strength speak for itself!"

The suggestion made by Cao Youren caused both Captain Chen and the deputy commander of the Third Combat Corps to fall into deep thought.

It's not wrong to openly and honestly demonstrate one's strength.

After a moment, Cao Youren continued, "Gentlemen, the nature of our mission this time is completely different from before. We are the victorious nation, so we should go forth with dignity and can no longer hide."

“If we continue to lie low, it won’t look like settling scores later; it will also make us lose face as a great power should.”

"We are a naval power recognized by the Eagle Tribe. Even if we don't acknowledge it ourselves, the whole world does. So we should demonstrate our naval power and let them know that!"

Upon hearing these words, Captain Chen felt a surge of excitement.

In any case, they defeated the US-Japan alliance this time and became the victorious nation. Their momentum was unstoppable, so how could they possibly sneak away?

In the previous battle, the navy simply swaggered over and blocked the gate with artillery fire, forcing the people of Donghuang to surrender openly!

This victory is far more significant and far-reaching than the previous one, so we can't afford to be secretive about it.

The purpose of settling scores after the fact is not to ambush the military forces of the Eastern Wilderness tribes again, but to openly and legitimately come to their doorstep!
In the past, their aim was to suppress and intimidate the tribes of the Eastern Wilderness, and naturally, this had to be done openly!
A moment later, Captain Chen turned to look at the first officer and the others: "What do you think of Captain Cao's proposal?"

"I still agree," the vice-captain nodded in deep agreement.

Although the others did not express their opinions, their agreement with Cao Youren's proposal was written all over their faces.

Captain Chen nodded slightly, then said directly, "Alright, let's do it according to this suggestion and go openly and honestly."

The deputy commander of the Second Combat Corps said, "I also agree with this proposal."

Seeing that his proposal had been agreed to, Cao Youren said with a smile, "I've wanted to settle accounts with the Japanese devils for a long time. This time, we'll go there openly and let the people of Donghuang know that if we can surround them once, we can surround them countless times."

"Let me remind the people of the Eastern Wilderness once again just how foolish their previous provocations were!"

After some discussion, a specific plan has been formulated.

After the discussion, Captain Chen immediately reported the relevant plan to the Navy Headquarters.

The plan was approved by headquarters shortly afterward. (End of Chapter)
