I built an armada.

"Finally, I see them! These are the warships of the Dragon Xia Navy!"

"Fuck, this is the Dragon Xia Navy's frontline fleet that forced us to back down. I finally know their true colors."

"I have to say, being chased by such a beautifully designed warship all the way, how come I don't feel the slightest bit of shame?"

"To be fair, the warships of the Longxia Navy are better than our warships, both in appearance and in other aspects. Their stealth capabilities are obviously very strong!"

While Willis expressed his feelings, he felt incredibly relaxed. After all, they had survived the great calamity, and he had led the fleet to safety—that was the greatest victory!

Previously, they had always looked down on the warships of the Longxia Navy, thinking they were just old relics in a museum. But now, with their brand-new ships and simple designs, everything about them was so clear and straightforward.

“William, look, this batch of warships from the Longxia Navy is clearly different from the ones we saw last year. They are obviously a new batch that has been upgraded and modified.”

"Judging from the appearance alone, it is obvious that the stealth performance is stronger and the hull is cleaner and neater, while ours still has a lot of antennas and balance beams."

Taking a deep breath, Willis turned to look at his vice-captain and began to speak eloquently, pointing at the Dragon Xia Navy warship.

The vice-captain picked up his binoculars and glanced at the scene before slowly saying, "That's right. The development speed of the Longxia Navy is impressive; it's no longer the same as it was before."

"It hasn't been that long, and new warships are already appearing, and the pace of iteration is incredibly fast. They're terrifying. If this continues, our position as the ocean overlord of Blue Star might be shaken."

This statement naturally received the agreement of Captain Willis. With the rapid rise of the Longxia Navy, the days ahead would likely become increasingly difficult, especially since their warships were completely outdated compared to the Longxia Navy's new and advanced warships.

"So what if we're shaken?"

Willis sighed, somewhat helplessly, "Anyway, it's not our business. From now on, I'll never come to this area again, and I'll never face the Dragon Xia Navy again."

"Leave the rest to Bowensmit on the USS Carl and Douglas on the USS Condor. My mission is complete, and I'll be returning to the shipyard for repairs and rest."

Having said that, he tidied up a bit. "William, pack your things quickly and come back to the garrison base with me. General Cruise is waiting for us to have lunch."

"Yes, Captain."

The deputy captain quickly accepted the order.

What they were unaware of was that the USS Condor carrier strike group had already arrived there ahead of time.

Douglas has already flown back to the garrison base by helicopter and is having breakfast with General Cruise, enjoying himself immensely.

Looking at Douglas, whose face still looked somewhat travel-worn, General Cruise said helplessly.

"Our military operation against the Longxia Navy this time ended in failure."

"Therefore, Captain Douglas, you need to be extra careful from now on. After this battle, we have realized that the Dragon Xia Navy is no longer what it used to be. They can now be our opponents."

Previously, in the eyes of the Eagle Tribe Navy, the Dragon Summer Navy was simply a second-rate naval force, not even worthy of being called a rival. They believed they could crush such a weak naval force at any time!
Even after the standoff in the maritime border region eighteen months ago, they still hold this view.

Douglas nodded slightly in agreement and said seriously, "That's true. Along the way, I've heard all sorts of news, some good and some bad, all mixed together."

"It is a fact that our navy suffered a defeat in this conflict. Such an opponent has grown stronger, and I will pay more attention to it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had a very strange feeling, as if he were listening to General Cruise give his 'last words'.

Is Cruise going to leave and not stay here anymore? Will someone else take his place?

In reality, he was unaware that both General Cruz and General Koro had submitted transfer applications to the Eagle Tribe's military department, and the process was already underway.

"Douglas, I feel very reassured with you here."

General Koro nodded slightly. "You are much more composed than Willis. I believe you are better able to hold down the fort here and serve as the outpost for the Eagle Tribe."

Just as he was about to change the subject and explain the precautions for the next step, a piercing alarm suddenly ripped through the air, rapidly approaching from afar.

The soldiers outside almost instinctively looked up, as if trying to find the source of the alarm.

Upon hearing the sound, the three of them almost instinctively changed their expressions and quickly went outside to look in the direction from which the alarm sounded.

Douglas frowned and looked at Cruise and Coro.

"Is that the alarm sounded by the Eastern Wilderness tribe?"

In response to Douglas's question, Koro quickly nodded and said, "That's right, it was the Eastern Wilderness people who set it off."

Including this time, they have heard it twice now, so they are naturally familiar with this alarm sound. Both times it was sounded because the Longxia Navy was coming.

"Don't panic, it must be the Longxia Navy. The outpost has already spotted them."

General Cruz casually explained, "We've already been given instructions that the Eastern Wilderness tribes will bear this calamity themselves; we won't get involved."

Seemingly worried that Douglas might have some bad intentions, General Corow quickly added from the side, "This has nothing to do with us, we can ignore it."

Douglas nodded slightly and said, "Understood."

Even though he was somewhat dissatisfied, he naturally wouldn't disobey the orders given by the higher-ups; after all, it was better to avoid trouble.

Why would he give up a good life and go looking for trouble with the Longxia tribe for no reason? Doesn't he think he's lived too long?
Meanwhile, in the Black Palace of the Eagle Tribe, in the office of the Great Chief.

The aide rushed in, bringing the latest intelligence. "Great Chieftain, it has just been confirmed that the Dragon Xia Navy fleet heading to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe to demand an explanation is now less than 90 kilometers from the tribe's homeland, only 88 kilometers away."

“They did not stop, but continued to advance. It was clear that they wanted to carry out a major military operation to force the Eastern Wilderness tribes to submit.”

The chieftain nodded slightly, his expression unchanged: "Yes, I understand."

"Great Chief, are we really not going to help them at all?" the aide asked directly.

In fact, they still have relevant interests in the Eastern Wilderness tribes. What if the Dragon Xia Navy destroys them if they don't take action?
"The head of the Eastern Wilderness Cabinet has already sought our help through various channels," the aide added.

The chieftain waved his hand dismissively, then said very seriously, "They made a mistake this time, so they have to bear the consequences themselves. As long as the Eastern Wilderness Tribe doesn't collapse, it doesn't matter."

"The Longxia Navy is just forcing the Eastern Wilderness Tribes to demand an explanation. It has nothing to do with me, so there's no need to worry too much."

The aide took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Yes, Great Chief."

He couldn't help but pray for the Eastern Wilderness tribes, and even felt that the country deserved it. They had been outmaneuvered by the cabinet chief before, and this was a good opportunity for revenge.

This can be seen as a sharp rebuke to the Eastern Wilderness tribes, making the cabinet leader sober up and reassess his position and role. A dog should have the awareness of a dog; to actually turn around and scheme against its master is simply a rebellion against the natural order!

Alarms blared throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness Tribe, and this major event caused a huge stir on Blue Star.

All nations were well aware that the Longxia Navy was about to arrive at the doorstep of the Eastern Wilderness tribes. This was a demonstration of military strength to the people of the Eastern Wilderness, forcing them to pay a price!
It has to be said that the people of Longxia are decisive and daring, and they are incredibly efficient!
Many countries have witnessed this: those countries that usually have very good relations with the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, and are even considered allies, have not stood up to say a word for the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, not even to criticize the Dragon Summer Tribe!

"These Western countries are really pragmatic; not a single one has stood up. The atmosphere is very strange."

"It seems they are unwilling to offend the Longxia tribe."

Many countries are puzzled and cannot understand why powerful Western countries dare not stand up. In fact, Western countries also have their own difficulties.

They originally wanted to stand up and support the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, but they themselves are now facing the Dragon Xia Navy Expeditionary Fleet, making it difficult to handle the situation.

It's fair to say they're struggling to make ends meet right now!

Moreover, they are also watching to see if any other countries will step forward and lend a hand.

Who could have imagined that in the end, not a single country would step forward, resulting in a complete zero-country response?

In fact, they were very nervous, thinking that if they attacked the Longxia tribe, not to mention whether they could win, if the Longxia tribe retaliated, would other allies stand up for them?

Will their allies in the Western alliance come to their aid?

They all know what kind of people Western countries are; none of them are easy to deal with. Therefore, they can only raise a big question mark!

In stark contrast to the tension among the high-ranking officials in Europe, the people of the Longxia tribe cheered, their excitement overflowing.

Even though the incident occurred the night before and not many people knew about it, as dawn broke, the information spread explosively, and more and more people in Longxia learned the ins and outs of the matter.

It turns out that while they were sleeping, the navy had already fought back and forth with the allied forces of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe and the Eagle Tribe, and had even gained an absolute advantage!
The absolute victory immediately filled the people of Longxia with genuine pride, and they stood up straight as if they would never bend again!
No one expected that only eighteen months later, such a joyous occasion would arrive.

"Celebrating with joy and spreading the news" is no longer enough to describe the excitement and pride of the people of Longxia at this moment.

In the streets and alleys of that city, whether people were rushing to work, going to school, or having breakfast, almost everyone was talking about this.

Those who knew the situation spoke freely and openly. Those who were unaware of the details, however, all listened intently, eager to hear what had happened.

The current situation of the Longxia people is completely different from that of people from other countries. It can be said that they are in stark contrast to foreigners, like heaven and earth.

As a result, patriotic overseas Chinese also sent congratulatory telegrams, looking quite proud of it.

As people of Longxia, they possess an innate sense of pride and honor.

At this very moment, the Foreign Affairs Department of the Longxia Tribe issued another announcement, which immediately stirred up the entire situation on Blue Star.

That's right, the Longxia tribe is selling warships again, and this time it's an aircraft carrier!
This aircraft carrier is naturally the Fukuno. It has been towed back and entered the shipyard for refitting and upgrading!
Just as the Eastern Wilderness tribe was thrown into chaos by the sudden alarm, on the other side, in the capital city of the Dragon Summer tribe, at the naval headquarters military base...

Inside the conference hall, Liu Huaming and other bigwigs sat together, discussing how to extract more benefits from the Eastern Wilderness Tribe. Naturally, they wouldn't dwell too much on minor details.

In any case, this conflict was initiated by the Eastern Wilderness people who publicly declared war, and the Longxia tribe was forced to fight back.

This conflict involved both air force and army, making it far larger than any previous conflict, and naturally, the cost was incomparable to the last one!
In the last conflict, the navy single-handedly defeated the Eastern Wilderness Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet; the air force and army did not participate. After the victory, almost all the demands were made by the navy.

As for this time, the Navy only needs to offer some constructive suggestions.

After all, the army and air force will also make their own demands this time, and the three services will jointly put forward conditions to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

Of course, the final decision on the plan will still have to be made by higher-ups.

Therefore, as the supreme commander of the three armed forces, Commander Xue was leading the proposals submitted by the three armed forces in a thorough discussion with a group of high-ranking officials in a secret room.

Liu Huaming and other bigwigs had no worries about the post-war reparations for the Eastern Wilderness tribe; it was a done deal.

If the spoils were distributed according to the amount of effort contributed in the conflict, after deducting the portion handed over, the majority of what remained should have gone to the Navy! (End of Chapter)
