I built an armada.

Chapter 631: The storm rises in the Dongzhou Sea, and the great powers are causing trouble
After giving the instructions, Zhou Qinglei opened the electronic nautical chart and started looking at it.

At present, the number of Beidou satellites of the Longxia tribe is still too small. It has not yet achieved global coverage, and its performance is not perfect enough. It is of little use in the European waters.

Of course, they couldn't use the Eagle Tribe's GPS system for positioning and navigation, so they were naturally worried about their whereabouts being leaked and their intelligence being collected.

A few years ago, the Eagle Tribe suddenly cut off the GPS signal of a cargo ship, and then the merchant ship was shamelessly detained.

This served as a wake-up call to all members of the Longxia tribe that the GPS navigation system is unreliable, especially the one controlled by the Eagle tribe.

Therefore, they could only sail forward cautiously, using Luojing and other means for positioning. Sometimes they would turn on the navigation radar for detection, and then compare with the electronic nautical chart to adjust the route.

The Beidou navigation system cannot be used, which naturally affects the use of some equipment on the 10,000-ton destroyer.

Fortunately, they have various response plans, so the missiles will not be missed.

The closer they get to the European Waters, the more cautious the expedition fleet must be.

No matter what, there are far more military powers in the European waters than in the East Asian waters, and this is the home of Western developed countries!

In the main control room, Zhou Qinglei sat in front of the command console and started to think in his mind.

The Navy currently has a total of 26 052Ds and 9 14-ton destroyers. This time, the expeditionary fleet has 052 5Ds, 3 -ton destroyers, three missile nuclear submarines, and three attack nuclear submarines.

As a result, there are still 12 052Ds, 4 052-ton destroyers, several 052Cs, and other ships like left at home just in case.

In addition, there are numerous missile speedboats and more than ten comprehensive supply ships.

The comprehensive supply ship naturally cannot be used to directly participate in the war, so it is only equipped with some self-defense weapons and equipment, so the defensive power is slightly weaker.

Their main role is to provide ammunition, fuel and food to 052-ton destroyers and combat ships such as D to ensure that the warships have the ability to continue fighting!

Compared with the last evacuation, this lineup is naturally a little bit worse without the addition of the aircraft carrier fleet, but the strength is definitely not to be underestimated!

In any case, the tonnage of the expeditionary fleet has exceeded 30 tons, which is equivalent to the total naval tonnage of a medium-sized country.

What's more, whether it is a 052-ton destroyer or a combat ship like the D, the strength it possesses is not possessed by the naval ships of other countries.

Nuclear submarines cruising in the deep ocean can be used to calm the situation at critical moments!

This is equivalent to telling Britain and other Western countries that it is either conventional versus conventional, or they will all be destroyed together!
It can be said that the level of the warships in the expeditionary fleet is far beyond the level of the other third-generation frigates and third-generation destroyers on the Blue Planet. The three ordinary aircraft carrier fleets are not their opponents at all, and they can easily defeat them.

There are a total of six aircraft carrier fleets and other conventional fleets in the entire Europa waters area.

But considering that the White Bear Tribe in the north has been eyeing them covetously, making the tribes in the European Sea area feel uneasy, they naturally dare not act rashly.

Under such circumstances, the number of naval vessels that can be deployed in the European waters is very limited. In this way, we have the confidence to compete!

But there is another problem in the Europa Sea area, that is air power.

In any case, these are the bases of the Western Alliance tribes. They have many advantages of fighting at home, and the speed of supply and support is very fast, which is much more convenient and faster than the expedition fleet.

For the expeditionary fleet, only existing weapons and ammunition can be used, and there are comprehensive supply ships that can provide a certain amount of ammunition supplies.

If a fight really breaks out, the outcome may be hard to predict, but the probability of being at a disadvantage is very high.

However, as long as the combat distance is controlled well and appropriate tactics are used, in this situation, once the missiles are used up, immediately withdraw from the battlefield and go to a safe zone to replenish ammunition in time, there is still a chance of victory.

After a moment, Zhou Qinglei, with a frown on his face, thought for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that this account cannot be calculated in this way. The countries in the European Sea are not a monolithic entity. Moreover, the main goal this time is to target the British tribes and bring back the detained talents, not to really fight."

"It's just a flex of muscle, there's still a lot of room for improvement."

"The only thing worth worrying about is the Eagle Tribe. Yes, the Eagle Tribe!"

Thinking of the Eagle Tribe and the US military, Zhou Qinglei felt that he had to be vigilant and defensive.

No matter what, the Eagle Tribe is the boss of the entire Western Alliance. Whether it is for face or any other reason, if this incident gets out of hand, they will not sit idly by!
"Is there any news about the Eagle Tribe?"

Zhou Qinglei turned his head to look at the communications soldier not far away and asked directly.

The signalman immediately communicated with the relevant personnel at the headquarters as quickly as possible and received a response not long after.

"Captain, there is currently no news from the Eagle Tribe."

After hearing what the signalman said, Zhou Qinglei said worriedly, "This is not right. Could it be that the Eagle Tribe has been hiding behind us and has dug a trap for us, waiting for us to jump in?"

It was very strange that the Eagle Tribe had no reaction at all at such a critical moment.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
He would never believe that a jackal would suddenly change its appetite and become a sheep that eats grass. The more silent the Eagle Tribe remained, the more it meant that they were definitely doing something bad, but they just didn't know it at the moment.

In fact, it was not only Zhou Qinglei who felt something was wrong. Xu Dongguo and others at the Navy Headquarters also felt that this matter was very abnormal. The Eagle Tribe was too peaceful, and there had been no movement for many days.

This is like a naughty kid who does bad things almost every day, and suddenly stops doing bad things one day, then everyone will think it is abnormal!
At this moment, in the military base of the Navy Headquarters in Beijing.

As usual, Xu Dongguo presided over the daily work meeting in this conference room.

However, during today's discussion, he suddenly asked everyone something, which immediately caused everyone's concern.

"Has there been no news from the Eagle Tribe recently?"

"This is very strange. It's so abnormal."

Xu Dongguo looked at Xiao Chongjun and other colleagues, frowning and asking. Xiao Chongjun and other leaders looked at each other and shook their heads almost at the same time.

"There really is no reaction at all. Our expeditionary fleet is about to reach the Europa Sea area, but the Eagle Tribe has not made any move. This is totally inconsistent with their usual trouble-making style."

"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. We have fought with the Eagle Tribe several times before, and we got the upper hand every time. I know that the chief of the Eagle Tribe is a vengeful person. He has been holding a grudge for so long, I'm afraid he won't swallow his anger, right?"

"I guess the reason they didn't make any moves is that they must be holding back their ultimate moves, ready to use them on us!"

"The possibility of your speculation is very high. I am now a little worried about the safety of the expedition fleet. Do we need to send reinforcements to Zhou Qinglei? Relying on only a few warships is probably not enough to face the entire Western Tribal Alliance. The danger level is still very high."

"If the Eagle Tribe intervenes, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xu Dongguo took over the conversation and said, "Don't we still have nuclear attack submarines? We also have ballistic missile nuclear submarines following us. Who dares to act rashly?"

"I hope so."

Xiao Chongjun sighed, "I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy these past two days, and I always feel like something is going to happen."

Qian Wenbing took over the conversation and said, "I feel the same way. I feel uneasy."

"That's right. It's so quiet that I can hardly believe it. It's as if our expeditionary fleet has not entered the Europa Sea area."

Xu Dongguo took over the conversation and responded in a rather low voice.

As senior commanders, they naturally smelled something unusual.

After a moment, Xu Dongguo shouted directly to the outside of the conference room: "Zhang Zhaoxin, come here."

Not long after, Zhang Zhaoxin opened the door and walked in quickly. He stood at attention and said, "Report to the commander, please give me your instructions."

"Go contact our spies in the East Wasteland Tribe and the Eagle Tribe to find out what secret dealings those two tribes have. Make sure you find out everything and report back in a timely manner."

"Also, contact the spies from the Europa Sea Circle and the White Bear Tribe and have them take action to thoroughly investigate the situation on both sides. There must not be any omissions."

Xu Dongguo immediately made relevant arrangements. Especially at times like this, it is necessary to intensify intelligence collection so that appropriate judgments can be made.

"Yes, Chief!"

After receiving the order, Zhang Zhaoxin turned around and walked out.

The navy acted very quickly and immediately sent people to investigate in multiple directions.

On the other side, the Donghuang tribe.

After several days of in-depth discussion and planning, the Donghuang Tribe finally made a comprehensive statistics of the detailed situation of Haiyu Island, Weiba Island and other places, formed a report, and delivered it to the Eagle Tribe.

The hydrological conditions, tidal changes, and various situations around the island are all recorded in great detail.

After the Eagle Tribe received the relevant information submitted by the East Wilderness Tribe, the chief conducted a preliminary review and immediately convened an emergency meeting attended by military representatives, staff and others.

"Look at this, everyone. This is information compiled by the East Wasteland Tribe. It is very detailed."

After he finished speaking, the chief asked his staff to distribute the relevant information to the military representatives and members of the staff.

So, everyone gathered together to read it, and soon the rustling sound of flipping papers could be heard in the conference room.

After a while, an aide looked up and exclaimed, "Captain, you are right. This document is indeed very detailed and comprehensive."

“I have to say that the Donghuang tribe really put in a lot of effort this time.”

The chief nodded, then spoke with emotion.

"The cabinet leader of the East Wasteland Tribe did a great job this time. It was worth our comprehensive support and help to them in the Dark Night Project."

Having said that, he turned to look at the military representatives and asked directly: "What do you think after watching it?"

Several military representatives immediately gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Captain, this information is very valuable and will be of great help to us. We can directly establish military bases in Itoman City, Kaiyu Island, and Obi Island, regardless of the location or area."

"However, as the second option, Haiyu Island and Weiba Island are the first choice for containing the Longxia tribe. If an air defense system is deployed here, the probability of interception is very high."

"But there is a very big problem here. Will the deployment of a military base here lead to counterattacks from the Longxia tribe? In any case, the Longxia tribe has always claimed that Haiyu Island and Weiba Island belong to them. Will the conflict between us and them be intensified, and will the Donghuang tribe benefit in the end?"

As soon as the words fell, a military representative stood up and said, "Both the Longxia tribe and the Donghuang tribe have their own opinions, but Haiyu Island and Weiba Island are disputed areas, and we really have to avoid them. I think we should give priority to the first option, with Itoman City as the first choice. We should throw out the second option first to test the waters and see how the Longxia tribe reacts, and then act accordingly."

Then another military representative said, "We don't know how many warships the Longxia tribe has sent to the Europa Sea Circle, but according to the intelligence we have obtained, the Longxia expeditionary fleet has taken away at least two-thirds of the ships. This is a great opportunity for us."

"As long as their expeditionary fleet is dragged into the Europa Sea, it will be extremely beneficial to us. Even if we choose the second option, the Longxia tribe will not be able to do anything to us. Even if a conflict occurs and we lose, we can use Itoman City as a military base."

"No matter what, this deal is a good one for us."

Hearing that the military had basically reached a consensus, the chief nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since no one has other opinions, let's do this."

"We will start with external propaganda. We will build military bases on Haiyu Island and Weiba Island to gain the upper hand over the Longxia tribe."

The military representative, Defense Minister Hawk Henry, immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes, Chief."

"In that case, I will notify the heads of the cabinet of the East Wilderness Tribe so that they can start preparing." The chief nodded with satisfaction.
