I built an armada.

Chapter 356 The Eagle Tribe Attacks the Longxia Navy
My back felt cold, as if a poisonous snake had been staring at me for a long time.

When they suddenly discovered it, they found that the Longxia Navy was no longer the weak and incompetent Wuxia Navy of the past, but a very powerful armed force.

Not only did they defeat the surrounding tribes, they also wiped out the independent forces of the East Desert Sea. Now only a handful of ships are left to support the patrol mission in such a large sea area.

Quietly, the Longxia Navy became a dominant force in the Dongzhou waters.

That’s right, in their eyes, as long as the Longxia Navy seizes the throne of number one in the Dongzhou Sea, it will be the overlord and qualified to challenge the Eagle Tribe.

What they have to do is to confiscate this qualification.

Any Longxia who does not submit to the Eagle Tribe must be ruthlessly and violently suppressed until the tribe's armed forces, especially the navy, are pushed back to the past.

In their eyes, only the navy of this tribe uses second-generation ships, or even first-generation ships, all day long, which is what they want the most, and they can take whatever they want from this tribe.

Just because we didn’t win during World War II doesn’t mean we can never win!

"Tell them the situation."

The chieftain glanced at his staff and gestured.

"Yes, Warchief."

The staff quickly reported the relevant intelligence they had collected so that all military personnel were aware of it.

After hearing the report, Hawk Henry frowned immediately.

"Henry, what do you think about this?"

"I look forward to your constructive comments."

The Great Chief looked towards Hawk Henry and said expectantly.

Isn't the reason for calling them here to hear the professional opinions from the military?

"Captain, we need to have a group discussion first."

Hawk Henry couldn't come up with a better solution for the moment. After all, it was too sudden. How could they come up with a relevant plan immediately if they hadn't prepared carefully yet?

"no problem."

The chief readily agreed.

Hawk Henry immediately convened a group discussion to study the feasibility of the plan.

"I have just revealed the relevant plan. After casting a wide net and investigating with spies, we have already screened out seven suspicious places. So why don't we send special investigation personnel to secretly infiltrate the Longxia tribe for investigation?"

"Yes, they can bring professional equipment to conduct close reconnaissance of those places, and we will definitely gain something."

"There is a big problem here. The cost of sending ground personnel is very high. First of all, they must have a clean background and be proficient in the Longxia language. It is best if they are Longxia people. It would be better to mobilize more colonists or hamsters for reconnaissance."

"The cost of entering from the ground is too high. We can go through the air, and even conduct ultra-high-altitude reconnaissance. We have the highest-flying reconnaissance aircraft on the Blue Planet, and we can definitely conduct reconnaissance on those seven targets."

"It's obviously not possible to send fighter jets. The Longxia tribe has a lot of anti-aircraft missiles. If the fighter jets go in, it's no different from sending them to their deaths."

"In my opinion, it would be most appropriate to send a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft."

Several military experts engaged in a heated discussion, repeatedly compared and weighed the pros and cons of various plans, and in the end almost everyone felt that high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft had the highest cost-effectiveness, the lowest risk, and the fastest results.

As long as the seven secret locations are marked, they can be overlooked from the air, thus obtaining a large amount of pictures and data.

After the group discussion, the chief took out a pen and made a quick summary.

"Captain, after discussion, we have decided to dispatch a U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft to conduct a large-scale reconnaissance of the target. After determining the most likely location of the secret base, we will conduct a targeted, all-round reconnaissance there."

"For the final all-round reconnaissance, we can combine our spies to act together."

"I think we can definitely get reliable intelligence."

After Hawk Henry finished his summary, he immediately reported the results to the chief.

"Very good, you guys put in a lot of effort."

“It coincides with my idea.”

The chief nodded slightly, a look of relief on his face, which coincided with the military's plan.

High-altitude reconnaissance aircraft can penetrate deep into the airspace of the Longxia tribe. Because they fly high enough, they are naturally safe enough and very difficult to be detected.

Even if you are unlucky and get discovered, you can still run away in time.

The Longxia tribe's air force equipment is quite poor. So far, it has only been equipped with a small number of Super Flanker fighters introduced from the White Bear tribe. The number is very scarce and they can only be placed in strategic locations to perform air defense tasks.

The others are all old fighter jets, which are insufficient in flying altitude and anti-interference capabilities, and cannot pose any threat to high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

At present, the air force of the Longxia tribe is seriously lagging behind the needs of the times.

Even though the Longxia Air Force had started researching and developing new equipment since the first Keyi tribal war, the difficulty of developing new equipment was too high. It was not like a child playing house and could be done as easily as he wanted.

Fighter jets need to go through a very complex manufacturing process, but the Longxia tribe’s accumulation in this area is very thin, which is not enough to support the research and development of the third-generation aircraft.

Especially in terms of aviation engines, the Longxia Air Force lags behind the international mainstream by several generations, and the fighter jets it uses are still at the second generation level.

If the front line had not had the Flanker fighters introduced from the White Bear Tribe to undertake the national air defense mission, I'm afraid they could have marched straight in.

With the current strength of the Longxia Air Force, it cannot even enter the top 20 of the mainstream air forces on Blue Star, and is far behind the air force on Longzhua Island.

It is impossible to intercept their high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft using fighter jets.

On the other hand, the U2's flight altitude alone reached 0.7 meters, and its flight speed reached Mach. At this altitude, no fighter jet in Longxia could reach it.

With the U2's superb performance, it can come and go freely, but the Longxia Air Force is helpless.

The only option is to use air defense missile units for interception, but the modernized U2 has already acquired quite powerful electronic warfare capabilities, is equipped with more powerful engines, and its flight performance has been greatly improved.

"Reporting to the Great Chief, there is a big problem here."

Hawk Henry took a deep breath and then said helplessly, "The maximum flight distance of the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft is only 5700 kilometers. It is impossible to take off from our mainland and cross the Pacific Ocean."

"Not to mention, we're heading out to investigate the Longxia tribe."

The chief frowned slightly, then said, "How about using an aircraft carrier?"

“Totally inappropriate.”

"First of all, we have to consider that the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft has a range of only 5700 kilometers and cannot return home."

"If an aircraft carrier fleet appears near the Longxia Sea, it may cause unnecessary trouble and put the aircraft carrier in danger."

Hawk Henry shook his head slightly and explained very seriously.

"They can't hit high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, but the aircraft carrier battle group will have to face the attack of the Longxia Navy and the Army's missiles. This risk is too great for us to take." "According to our intelligence, the two types of warships equipped by the Longxia Navy already have quite strong anti-ship capabilities, and also have stealth capabilities."

"Our aircraft carriers will inevitably encounter great risks if they go there."

“In addition, the Longxia Army is equipped with a missile with a range of 7000 kilometers, which has multiple warhead capabilities and has great lethality against aircraft carrier battle groups.”

"That is to say, within this range, our aircraft carrier battle group has no safe zone."

"So we sent an aircraft carrier battle group over there and launched reconnaissance planes from above. The Longxia tribe will definitely launch a strong counterattack. We can't anger them."

At this point, Hawk Henry paused. He needed to tell the chief a fact: an aircraft carrier battle group was not an inevitable option.

When it comes to high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, you can only choose one or the other, not both. Adults don't make choices.

"Once we anger the Longxia tribe, we will be caught in a two-front war, Great Chief, and the loss will outweigh the gain."

"Of course, if you give the order, we can also dispatch an aircraft carrier battle group."

These last words were undoubtedly meant to tell the chief that if any problems arose, the final responsibility could not be placed on the military, but must be borne by the chief himself.

Hawk Henry's words directly revealed the military's attitude; they were ready to attack.

"Then tell me about your specific plan."

The chief glanced at the military representative and said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

He knew very well what Hawk Henry meant by that. It was obvious that the old man was setting a trap for him.

It's a dream to want him to take responsibility.

"Great Chief, this is our plan."

At this point, Hawk Henry took out his tablet computer and pulled out the electronic map. He then pointed to the Donghuang tribe and then to the Longxia tribe, drawing a long straight line between the two.

"Great Chief, you see, the distance between taking off from the Donghuang Tribe and arriving at the Longxia Tribe is less than 800 kilometers."

"Considering the 2-kilometer range of the U5700 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, it will be no problem to take off from the garrison base of the East Desert Tribe and fly three round trips. Considering that for a single mission, we have a redundancy of to kilometers as reconnaissance range."

"With the performance of the U2, it is entirely possible to cover such a large area and all suspicious points, and the investigation will be more detailed and comprehensive."

Hawk Henry took the stylus and drew a big circle on the electronic map, directly including a large area of ​​Longxia tribe's land.

"We have determined the exact location. We can dispatch more U2s to conduct patrol reconnaissance to find the Longxia Navy's secret research institute!"

"At an altitude of 27 km, the U2 can shoot back and forth, conduct a large-scale carpet search, investigate, and take photos to collect evidence. It will definitely be able to take clear photos of the Longxia Navy's secret base!"

"In short, we have the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, so we can clearly grasp the secrets hidden by the Longxia Navy."

"Captain, I have full confidence in our U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. It can do this job very well."

Hearing such powerful words from the military leader, the chief nodded repeatedly.

He was still very confident and satisfied with the plan formulated by Hawk Henry.

Before the chief could speak, he spoke again.

"Great Chief, we took off from the military base stationed in the East Wasteland Tribe. Even if the Longxia Tribe noticed, we are not afraid. They will not attack the East Wasteland Tribe."

"If they attack, they will be declaring war."

"In addition, the Longxia Air Force is equipped with Super Flanker fighters, which have a maximum ceiling of only 24 kilometers, which is 2 kilometers behind the U3. They have no way of shooting down our U2 with fighters."

"A three-kilometer jump is huge, especially in an air battle."

"It is simply impossible to shoot down our improved version of the U2."

Hawk Henry looked extremely calm and was full of confidence in U2. It was obvious that they did not take the Longxia tribe's air defense seriously.

"Henry, your plan is very detailed and very feasible."

"I approve it, you guys go and do it."

The chief nodded with satisfaction, "On the day of the operation, I will accompany you to visit the East Wasteland Tribe and provide cover for your operation."

"This will prevent the Longxia tribe from discovering the movement in advance and causing adverse effects on your reconnaissance operations."

Since the last defeat of the East Wasteland Sea, he has never been there to appease the East Wasteland tribe.

After being neglected for such a long time, the originally active minds of the Donghuang tribe will surely become calm again, as he went there as the head of the family.

His trip will surely make the East Wilderness Tribe more loyal to the Eagle Tribe, and more submissive in their hearts.

The chief felt that he had gained a lot of experience in studying the traditional military tactics of the Longxia tribe over the years.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The only thing that made him unhappy was that the development speed of the Longxia Navy was too fast and too rapid, so he had to pay attention to it in advance.

"Notify the Donghuang tribe and tell them that I will go and comfort them in ten days."

"It is expected to take one day,"

The chief made the final decision and communicated it to his staff.

"Yes, Chief!"

After receiving the order, the staff immediately passed the news back to the Donghuang tribe through the Donghuang tribe's special envoy.

Donghuang tribe, Kyoto, and the imperial palace.

"Chief, good news, great news."

"Ten days later, the chief of the Eagle Tribe will come to visit my tribe for one day."

The administrative steward who was in charge of the street-related news hurried to the back garden and spoke excitedly.

To them, the Eagle Tribe is high above and inviolable, and it is also their suzerain state. They are just a watchdog.

“That’s really good news.”

The new chief took the document handed over by the butler and looked through it carefully. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

"Prepare the car and head to the Cabinet Building."

After some preparation, Chief Donghuang took a special car and went straight to the cabinet building.

In the Cabinet Building, all the cabinet members who received the relevant notice and the leaders gathered here. They sat upright, fearing that they would sit crookedly and affect the work progress here.
