I built an armada.

After a slight pause, Su Dingping spoke again.

"Tonight, you will take the last Yunfan-3 anti-ship ballistic missile to the nuclear weapons research base in the northwest!"

"I'll have Wanlong handle the relevant procedures and documents for you. It should take about three days. Once you've started your research, I'll come over too."

After hearing this, Professor Zhang Qianyi suddenly looked enlightened.

At that moment, he recalled the phone call Qian Lao had made earlier, saying he wanted to come and take another look in person, but Su Dingping had refused, saying that he would come over to ask him questions in person.

Su Dingping did this because he was worried that the elderly Qian Lao's health would not be able to withstand the long journey, so he had no choice but to go to the Northwest Nuclear Weapons Research Base in person.

Now Su Dingping is simply fulfilling this promise and is going to personally visit Mr. Qian in the Northwest.

"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely complete the mission!" Professor Zhang Qianyi replied with utmost solemnity, his chest puffed out.

Su Dingping nodded in satisfaction, and after glancing around and finding nothing else to say, he signaled that the other party could leave.

After gathering his thoughts, he turned and quickly walked outside.

It wasn't until Su Dingping had been gone for a while that Professor Zhao and the others came to their senses. They had been thinking about some issues they wanted to discuss with Su Dingping and planned to keep Guo Xueyun at the naval integrated military factory so that she could work by Su Dingping's side.

In this way, Guo Xueyun's talent in missile research can be fully utilized, which will also contribute to missile research.
"It's still a step too late."

Professor Zhao sighed softly, somewhat annoyed.

Professor Zhao looked at Guo Xueyun apologetically and said reassuringly, "Xueyun, next time I see Chief Su, I will definitely mention it to him and ask him to let you stay."

"Professor, there's no rush. Staying is fine too. I can continue to accumulate more experience, solidify my foundation, and make my academic abilities more robust."

Guo Xueyun also felt a little regretful, but she didn't show it on her face at all. Instead, she responded very optimistically.

In fact, she was very clear that the gap between her and Su Dingping was getting bigger and bigger. If she got a job at the naval integrated military factory, she might get what she wanted, but she might face even greater pressure later on!

Seeing that Guo Xueyun could say that, Professor Zhao did not offer any further comfort, but instead organized the group that had come to return home.

They need to collect all the relevant information and bring it back to the Pangu Research Base for the next stage of missile development.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Affairs Department of Longxia issued a new announcement.

"Given the intensity of this maritime conflict, our navy has discovered an unclaimed aircraft carrier in the eastern waters of our country. The carrier has a displacement of approximately 6 tons, which is larger than the displacement of the two aircraft carriers that our navy discovered before."

"Our Navy will modify and upgrade it according to customer needs, and will hold an auction in three days. We welcome interested parties to bid as soon as possible."

Next up is a video about the aircraft carrier Fukuno.

In the video footage, Zhang Zhaoxin stands on the bumpy deck, holding a microphone and speaking to the camera.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when you see this aircraft carrier, it is already in our shipyard. I am your old friend, Senior Colonel Zhang of the Navy."

"We reached a peace agreement with the Eagle Tribe, which included a clause stipulating that any warships found in our waters would belong to us, so we towed it back."

"As we all know, our navy already has one aircraft carrier, so this one is redundant for us."

At this point, Zhang Zhaoxin turned around, pointed to the uneven deck, and began to explain.

"Gentlemen, don't be fooled by the dents on its deck. These are its medals, the marks of its past battles, and the memories of history, carrying a profound sense of weight."

"This is enough to prove that this is an aircraft carrier that has participated in actual combat. Next, we will carry out its modification and upgrade. Adhering to the core attitude of serving the buyer, as long as the buyer finalizes the deal, we will immediately repair it according to the customer's needs!"

"As everyone knows, our navy has sold aircraft carriers before. As for the quality, I believe that oil-rich countries and Tehran are the most qualified to comment!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can imagine it like this: it is a behemoth at sea, with a spacious deck that can be used to take off and land fighter jets, or to sunbathe and enjoy the sense of security brought by powerful equipment."

It can be said that Zhang Zhaoxin's last words were undoubtedly highly targeted, and this was the target customer group. He was clearly telling the kings of those oil-rich countries in the central region to hurry up and buy, and enjoy the benefits as soon as possible.

Those wealthy and powerful families also have a huge demand for national defense and military equipment. Which king wouldn't want to enjoy sunbathing on such powerful weapons?

Who wouldn't want to pilot such a super-giant ship and protect their sovereignty and interests from any infringement?

As he was saying this, the camera quickly panned across the aircraft carrier, inadvertently capturing the tattered Japanese flag in the shot.

Zhang Zhaoxin quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't take pictures over there, there's still some blood that hasn't been washed away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the video ended.

However, the video that was released with the announcement caused quite a stir on Earth, and even swept through the high-ranking officials of various countries.

After reading it, those high-ranking officials couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.

"Fuck, the Longxia Navy is too arrogant. Now they don't even bother to hide anymore. The captured aircraft carrier just arrived home, and they're already selling it before it's even been cleaned. Aren't they being a bit too impatient?"

"It has to be said, the poor are the poor. Their navy is still on its way to the Eastern Wilderness tribes, and their families are already eager to sell the spoils of war. They really coordinated their efforts perfectly, without wasting a single second."

"This is hilarious! The Longxia people really know how to fool us. What's captured is captured, and they keep saying it's unclaimed. Do they think we're blind? It clearly has the flag of the Eastern Wilderness flying over it, and they actually found it in the eastern seas. Why don't they say that this time they've reduced the Eastern Wilderness Navy to just this one aircraft carrier?" "Again, damn it, the Longxia people are now selling aircraft carriers wholesale. My damned memories have come back to life."

"I have to say, this aircraft carrier, which is only 60,000 tons, is much larger and much more valuable than the previous two. I wonder how much it will fetch at auction. Last time, it almost made my legs tremble."

Although many high-ranking officials spoke with a sour tone, the vast majority were actually very envious, and they also wanted such an aircraft carrier to belong to their country.

In any case, a navy without large warships like aircraft carriers is always missing something, and can hardly be called a major power navy!

There are only a handful of countries on Earth that truly possess a complete naval fleet, and the Longxia Navy was previously at a similar level to them, or even worse, with its warships being outdated.

But now, the third aircraft carrier has already been sold, and how long has it been? Less than three years!
This rate of growth is truly terrifying!
Most of the world's leaders are well aware of one fact: they certainly cannot buy such an aircraft carrier, since the price of one is too high and could potentially consume their entire defense budget.

Naturally, all they could do was envy them, drooling with desire, yet helpless, because they simply didn't have enough money!
Meanwhile, the many countries located within the East Asian waters were heartbroken but helpless.

Ni Ying Tribe: If the Longxia Navy sells this aircraft carrier, then looking at the entire East Continent sea area, only the Longxia Navy will have an aircraft carrier, and the other countries will be left with nothing.

Filipino Tribe: I really want to sell an aircraft carrier too! Just thinking about it makes me feel so awesome. Only the Longxia Tribe in the Eastern Seas has that kind of ambition. When do you think I can buy an aircraft carrier?
Thousand Buddha Tribe: If you want to buy an aircraft carrier, you'll probably have to buy it from the Dragon Summer Tribe. But there are no aircraft carriers around us anymore. Where are the Dragon Summer people going to get one to sell to you? Are they planning to steal one from the Eagle Tribe? They must have lost their minds!

Filipino tribe: Even if they dare to rob and sell, I wouldn't dare to buy. I don't have the guts to do that. But if they rob the White Elephant tribe, then I'll take it.

Iron Monkey Tribe: Put the White Elephant Tribe aside for now, Brother Thousand Buddha, why don't you step forward and say a few words? The Dragon Xia people are going to sell their aircraft carrier again.

Thousand Buddha Tribe: I'm talking nonsense! Believe me or not, I'll kick you to death, you dog! Do you really think I'm stupid? Don't you know you're mocking me?
For a moment, the high-ranking leaders of the Thousand Buddha Tribe were extremely annoyed and felt very heartbroken.

It's worth noting that the last aircraft carrier auctioned by the Longxia tribe belonged to their family, making it highly symbolic.

They had spent a fortune to buy a decommissioned aircraft carrier from the Eagle Tribe, only to have it seized by the Dragon Xia Navy before they even had a chance to use it properly, giving it away to the Dragon Xia Navy for nothing!

When the Longxia Navy was put up for sale, the exorbitant price brought tears to the eyes of the Thousand Buddha Tribe's naval commander for several days. His weeping was so loud that even the king had to personally comfort him.

They painstakingly built an aircraft carrier, only to be utterly defeated in a battle and ultimately handed it over to the Longxia tribe, who then sold it for money.

The White Elephant Kingdom, which had been coveted by other countries in the Eastern Seas, was naturally not forgotten by its king, who was immediately shocked.

One of the ministers, who was wearing a headscarf, couldn't help but feel a little relieved: "Your Majesty, our decision this time was undoubtedly very wise. We didn't take advantage of the situation to cause trouble. Otherwise, the Longxia Navy might have come looking for trouble with us."

The black-bearded minister immediately said, "Why are they causing us trouble? Have we done anything wrong?"

"Can't you see it? You fool."

The minister with the turban glanced disdainfully at the black-bearded man and immediately swore, "Think about it this way: looking at the entire Eastern Continent Sea, whether it's the aircraft carrier of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom or the aircraft carrier of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, which one of them hasn't been sold off by the Dragon Xia people?"

"Take another look. Is it that all we have left are the aircraft carriers?"

Upon hearing this, not only was Blackbeard taken aback and felt a chill run down his spine, but the others were as well.

Nowadays, apart from the aircraft carrier in the hands of the Longxia tribe, no other country has an aircraft carrier, and they have all been captured by the Longxia navy.

Calling the Longxia Navy a carrier raider is no exaggeration; they'd better be careful now.

The Shiva aircraft carrier became their only remaining vessel, so they had to be extremely careful, otherwise they wouldn't know how the carrier ended up being lost.

Having grasped the crux of the matter, the ministers present were extremely relieved that they hadn't acted impulsively this time. Otherwise, their aircraft carrier would have been handed over to the Dragon Xia Navy!
Sitting in the chief seat, White Elephant King was furious and cursed, "The Dragon Xia Navy is really damned! Why do they always target aircraft carriers? Do they have some kind of special preference for them?"

The ministers fell silent, their expressions grave, unable to offer any answer.

However, on the other hand, aircraft carriers are among the most expensive warships, often selling for billions of dollars, which explains why the Longxia Navy would specifically target them.

"You all need to clear your heads! We only have this one aircraft carrier. What if one day the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Longxia lists it on their official website and puts it up for sale!"

Upon hearing the White Elephant King's solemn instructions on this matter, the other ministers all nodded in agreement.

As for the high-ranking officials of the countries in the European maritime region, they all fell silent after receiving the relevant news, and their expressions changed.

The Dragonxia tribe is once again selling an aircraft carrier to outsiders, which is not important to them, nor do they want to buy it from you.

Most importantly, they have discovered that all the aircraft carriers within the Dongzhou sea area have been captured by the Longxia Navy.

If the White Elephant Kingdom hadn't behaved itself this time, thus preventing the Dragon Xia Tribe from having any pretext for robbery, the Shiva aircraft carrier would likely have fallen into the hands of the Dragon Xia Tribe as well.

Without the White Elephant Kingdom, will the Dragon Xia Navy turn its attention to them?
There are quite a few aircraft carrier fleets in the European seas.

The expeditionary fleet has now arrived in the Atlantic Ocean. If they were to take action, they would likely lose more than just one or two aircraft carriers; they would lose far more than they wish to see.

If they were to attack the Longxia Navy's expeditionary fleet at this time, wouldn't that give the Longxia Navy the perfect excuse to rob an aircraft carrier? It would be as if they had fallen into a trap.

Thinking about it this way, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the high-ranking officials of various countries, not because Leng'er was frightened.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt this possibility was most likely, and they couldn't possibly fall for it. (End of Chapter)
