I built an armada.

Chapter 428: Draw your sword when you meet an enemy, listen carefully

It would be better to just go ahead and get nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in one go. The navy can handle it anyway, and it won't matter if it goes a little slower.

"Report, the 123rd Fleet has completed its replenishment operations and is expected to arrive at the designated sea area to carry out its mission in four to five hours."

Next, Zhang Zhaoxin opened another document and continued to report.

"Very good, tell them to carry out the mission according to the plan."

Liu Huaming nodded slightly, feeling much more at ease.

It is not enough for the first echelon to stay in the waters near Longzhua Island because their strength is too weak. If the second echelon arrives in time, they will be able to share the tasks of the first echelon.

They had already predicted the route that the Eagle Tribe nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group might take.

The Longxia Navy conducted exercises around these necessary routes and collided head-on with them.

There are not many routes from the Donghuang tribe garrison base to Longzhua Island, and the sea route is much slower than the air route.

If the other party wants to reach Dragon Claw Island before the Great Chief sets out, they will definitely not take a detour.

The preset location that Zhou Qinglei and others are heading to now is on the sea boundary line. The purpose is to intercept the aircraft carrier formation on the high seas. This is the result of repeated deductions by several people on the sand table.

Of course, Zhou Qinglei and his men will not be fighting alone, but will have the first-tier fleet to support them at any time.

Everything has been arranged, now we just have to wait for the arrival of the aircraft carrier.

"If the aircraft carrier fleet forces its way in four hours later, then we'll fight!"

Without waiting for Zhang Zhaoxin to leave, Liu Huaming made the decision decisively in a very serious tone.

In the face of national interests and dignity, all the talk of quietly developing and forbearing is pure bullshit!
As the time for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' press conference drew closer, many tribes became busy.

They speculated that this incident was most likely related to the collaboration between the Eagle Tribe's Seventh Fleet's aircraft carrier fleet and the three-tribe joint fleet.

If it was just a protest to express dissatisfaction as in the past, there would be no need to make such a fuss.

After all, the Eagle Tribe never accepts any protests.

The Dongzhou Sea Area tribal channel, which used to be bustling, has now become quiet, with each tribe having its own ulterior motives.

Longxia tribe, capital, headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Ambassador Chen was extremely anxiously waiting for news at this moment. He kept taking out his mobile phone to check the time and was almost getting angry.

Four hours have passed since the news was released, but the navy seems to have forgotten about it and there is still no movement.

We have been waiting from midnight until about four in the morning. In another hour or so, it will be dawn.

There was no news from the navy, but there was news that the Eagle Tribe's Seventh Fleet aircraft carrier battle group had been dispatched. This made him even more anxious and he almost got angry.

In another three hours, the Great Chief will board Air Force One and fly to Dragon Claw Island.

I'm afraid the chief is already getting up and making preparations at this moment.

Time keeps moving forward.

Just at this moment, his assistant came running over and urged, "Ambassador, four hours have passed, and the people below are urging us more and more. Is there still no news from the navy?"

Ambassador Chen just glanced at his assistant but said nothing.

The assistant immediately understood that there must be no news.

"What on earth is the navy doing? The situation is so urgent, aren't they in any hurry at all?"

Hearing this, the ambassador became anxious and took out his confidential phone to contact the navy, but he was afraid of disrupting the navy's plan.

He put the microphone down again, suppressed his annoyance and stood up.

He walked slowly to the windowsill, opened the window and looked out into the courtyard below.

I saw more and more people gathered outside, three layers inside and three layers outside, a large black mass, at least three or four hundred people. It seemed that the whole world was paying attention to this press conference of the Longxia tribe.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that holding a press conference at this time must mean that there must be several important events to be announced.

I just don’t know what the navy is planning, and why it is so secretive.

Since no one is coming, they can only wait patiently!
Other than that, there didn't seem to be anything they could do.

Time is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it always passes quickly, slipping quietly through our fingertips.

As everyone was anxious, half an hour passed, then an hour.

It was a little after six, and the originally dark night sky had turned bright. Ambassador Chen in the office couldn't help but look out the window. He knew that dawn was about to begin.

Ambassador Chen was very worried. Could there be some accident with the navy?
"Squeak!"

Just as he was worried, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Ambassador Chen, I'm late. I'm sorry."

The man who came was Xu Dongguo, who was dressed in military uniform. He was the head of the Northern Fleet and one of the naval chiefs!

When Ambassador Chen saw the person coming, he was stunned at first, then he quickly stood up and greeted him.

He didn't expect that the Navy would send such a heavyweight and powerful figure to host the press conference. It seems that there is some explosive news to be revealed.

In an instant, all his anxiety disappeared.

"Dongguo, I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, and finally you are here."

Ambassador Chen stepped forward and grabbed Xu Dongguo. Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately gave his assistant a look and said, "Go outside and guard the door."

"Yes."

The assistant hurriedly walked out, closed the door, and stood guard at the door himself, like a door god.

Ambassador Chen and Xu Dongguo were the only two people left in the office.

"What important matter has happened that requires you to come here in person?"

Ambassador Chen lowered his voice and asked with great curiosity.

He could sense that this incident would be earth-shattering.

"You're right. This matter is indeed very important. I'm afraid the news will leak out, so I have to come here in person."

Xu Dongguo nodded gently, "I was discussing the follow-up deployment at the headquarters before, so I was delayed for some time and came late."

"So what's going on?"

Hearing this, Ambassador Chen was relieved and asked quickly with concern.

“Everything is under control.”

Ambassador Chen felt much more at ease after hearing Xu Dongguo's words.

Next, Xu Dongguo took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it over, "Take a look at this."

Ambassador Chen looked at Xu Dongguo in confusion, then immediately took the book and started reading it.

After just a few glances, his brows began to frown.

The photo shows a large floating warship, or more precisely, an aircraft carrier, but it has some damage.

"This, this is?"

After looking at the photos, Ambassador Chen was a little confused.

"This is the Gabet aircraft carrier of the Thousand Buddha Tribe. It has been captured by us now."

"It will be dragged back tomorrow night at the latest."

Xu Dongguo explained immediately, looking very relaxed. What?
The aircraft carrier of the Thousand Buddha Tribe?
Did you hear that right?
Ambassador Chen's eyes were wide open and he was in a daze.

Then he pointed at the aircraft carrier in the photo and said excitedly: "This... could it be..."

He was trembling as he spoke, and was extremely excited. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Xu Dongguo with shock on his face.

"You guessed correctly. The three tribes' combined fleet was completely wiped out, with only this aircraft carrier captured by us."

Xu Dongguo nodded slightly and informed him of the actual situation.

These words were like a heavy bomb, which blew Ambassador Chen's mind completely blank.

So shocking.

It was such a shock.

The combined fleet of the three tribes was actually sunk, leaving only this aircraft carrier alive, which was captured and pulled back.

Has the navy become so strong?
"So, what about our losses?"

After a long while, Ambassador Chen finally asked.

"If we really want to count the losses, it is the loss of some missiles, which means a lot of military expenditures have been lost."

Hearing Xu Dongguo's light-hearted joke, Ambassador Chen immediately burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Ambassador Chen threw his head back and laughed, "Okay, okay."

As he smiled, tears began to flow. After feeling aggrieved for such a long time, he finally felt proud.

As the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he knew very well that strength is always the basis for upholding justice, national defense is the real backing of diplomacy, dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only in the cannon!

Talking about foreign affairs without the ability is pure bullshit!
Therefore, what Xu Dongguo brought was not only good news, but also a shot in the arm that inspired all members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and enabled them to stand up straight!

"This is such a big matter that we really need to be cautious. Hahaha, it's okay to come late."

"I was worried for a long time before, wondering if something would happen. Now I understand, it's really amazing! The comrades in the navy are all great."

"I feel relieved now."

As he spoke, Ambassador Chen's fingers holding the photo slightly tightened, which shows how excited he was.

Seeing Ambassador Chen so excited, Xu Dongguo, who was standing aside, remained silent.

He could understand the other party's feelings at the moment. The foreign affairs department needed such exciting good news very much. The enhancement of the navy's strength was also the greatest support for those who were engaged in foreign affairs work.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the press conference."

"Today's news will surely shock the whole world!"

After a while, Ambassador Chen came to his senses and returned the photo to Xu Dongguo.

Blue Hall, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The press conference was held here. The staff had already arranged the venue in advance, which was solemn and dignified.

"Snapped!"

Along with the sounds of several lights being turned on, all the bright lights were turned on, instantly illuminating the place like daytime, and the spacious hall immediately appeared extremely bright.

As soon as the door opened, many reporters rushed in and sat down in the press booths.

In a short moment, hundreds of people gathered in the Blue Hall, and the scene was very lively.

The staff also entered the hall to maintain order, make final preparations, and let everyone know that the long-awaited press conference was finally about to begin.

The reporters took out their notebooks, recorders and other things and prepared themselves, while the cameramen prepared their cameras and other equipment.

There were not only reporters at the scene, but also personnel arranged by the embassies of various tribes.

"Hey, why hasn't it started yet? I've been waiting for so long, at least half an hour, right?"

"It's almost half past six and they haven't started yet. Are they delaying the time again?"

"I think I saw the head of the navy just now. Could this press conference be related to the navy? Could it be that the Longxia navy is protesting collectively, accusing the four tribes of sending troops together?"

"Well, if protests work, then why do we need to use force?"

"Stop arguing, Ambassador Chen is here..."

Someone shouted and everyone looked towards the gate.

Sure enough, Ambassador Chen, dressed in a neat black suit, walked in with brisk strides.

Behind him was a middle-aged man in naval uniform, walking with steady and powerful steps.

Such a combination really shocked many people present.

They all looked confused and had no idea why the head of the navy would come over at this moment.

Is it possible that the chief of navy will protest personally?

"That's not right. Why is the head of the navy here? And his rank is not low."

"Could it be that the Navy thought that sending such a heavyweight figure to protest would be more effective? The Longxia Navy is really interesting. They came out at a time like this, but they don't know what use it is."

"If protesting was useful, the Great Chief would not have gone to Dragon Claw Island. The Longxia tribe is only doing useless things. We have to see what news they will release next."

"Anyway, I've already written the title: The Longxia Navy's protest is based on a lack of strength."

People were talking about it, but no one was optimistic about this press conference. Instead, it was filled with ridicule and mockery.

In their opinion, the Longxia Navy was beyond salvation.

Holding a press conference is most likely an attempt to admit defeat!

A protest without strength will not be heard by anyone, let alone taken seriously. It will just be like the behavior of a clown!
Ambassador Chen and Xu Dongguo looked at each other, and then Ambassador Chen was the first to walk onto the stage.

For a moment, hundreds of eyes looked at Ambassador Chen with confusion, wanting to get some answers from him.

It can be said that except for Ambassador Chen and Xu Dongguo, everyone at the scene, including all the staff, was in a state of confusion.

"Hello, everyone."

Ambassador Chen smiled at everyone, adjusted the microphone, and began to speak, "Before the press conference begins, I would like to remind everyone to be mentally prepared, because what is about to be announced is very big, and I am afraid that your hearts cannot bear it for a while..."

Just five minutes before the Longxia Tribe’s Foreign Affairs Department held a press conference.

The eastern border area of ​​the White Elephant Tribe.

They have deployed three divisions of troops here.

In addition, there are a steady stream of tanks and armored troops coming towards this side in a mighty manner.

Inside the eastern river valley base of the White Elephant Tribe.

The personnel responsible for observing the movements of the Longxia tribe have discovered that the Longxia tribe members have also begun to mobilize, and with more heavy firepower, which is not good news for them.

Immediately, he reported the relevant information as quickly as possible.

After receiving the news, base commander Panag couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that the Longxia tribe has discovered our deployment, and they are sending reinforcements here."

The other generals immediately started laughing.
