Xuanwu Sea, this is the largest sea area to the north of Long Cun Village.
Adjacent to Xiaopang Village, Bang Village, and Tōyō Village.
To some extent, it belongs to the heartland of Long Village!
Similarly, it has always been the absolute territory of Long Village here. Any foreign ships entering must register, otherwise the village has the right to take any measures it deems necessary.
Nevertheless, Long Village was too weak in the past, and although they had declared jurisdiction over the Xuanwu Sea early on, only Xiaopang Village paid any heed to what Long Village said, while neither Tōyō Village nor Bang Village took them seriously.
Numerous incursions into the Xuanwu Sea!
Especially Tōyō Village, which has repeatedly invaded the Xuanwu Sea, disregarding the rules of Long Village!
Long Village has protested countless times, but as the Polar Bear said, a thousand protests are not worth the take-off of a swan.
Because of its own weakness, Long Village's protests not only failed to have any effect but also emboldened the factions led by Baihei and Yanvillage to become increasingly audacious.
It's like a group of bandits with no respect for the law invading a helpless young girl.
The more vigorous the girl's resistance, the more excited the bandits become.
The previous Long Village was just like that!
Just that, all of that is in the past!
This day, the vast waters of the Xuanwu Sea were filled with countless ships and vessels!
One after another, luxury liners specially prepared by Long Village and warships from all over the world floated on the vast ocean, stretching for dozens of nautical miles!
On the ships, heads were crowded!
Yellow, white, black, and brown, almost all the ethnic groups on the Blue Planet are gathered here!
"Prince, does Long Village's navy really possess such formidable strength?"
Watching the numerous ships and vessels stretching in all directions, a middle-aged camel wearing a headscarf on top of his head, couldn't help but ask his companion, another middle-aged man, who couldn't help but ask him: "Prince, does Long Village's navy really possess such formidable strength?"
In response to the question, the other middle-aged man's eyes flickered.
If anyone here recognized him, they would easily be able to identify that the middle-aged man was Prince Modalarhan of the desert camel people.
The joint training of Long Village, to some extent, can be considered the debut of Long Village's navy after entering the new era!
This important occasion, Modalarhan could not miss.
After a moment of silence, Modalarhan spoke slowly:
"I believe in Long Village. They would never aimlessly fire!"
Upon hearing this, the camel who had just asked the question felt a stir in his heart and subconsciously said:
"Prince, you just believe in Long Village like that? They've never shown their strong naval power before. As far as I know, the most powerful warships they have now are just those destroyers imported from the Polar Bear. And the aircraft carrier that is about to debut is merely an old, dilapidated ski-jump deck carrier bought from Bear Two, which has already been abandoned by Black and White Eagle decades ago..."
Upon hearing his companion's voice, Modalarhan faintly shook his head and said: "You're right, but as you yourself said, that's just what you know. Isn't it?"
"…" The middle-aged camel wearing a headscarf fell silent instantly.
It seems that indeed it is so.
What he knows seems to be limited to what he knows!
At this moment, an image involuntarily flashed through his mind of all the things Long Village had shown before.
From the initial Falcon drones to the upcoming Jian Twenty-One that is about to debut, they didn't know about them until Long Village disclosed them themselves.
The only thing they knew about before Long Village disclosed them was perhaps Jian Twenty!
But upon further reflection, given Long Village's secrecy capabilities, Jian Twenty might have been disclosed by Long Village on its own initiative!
So to be more accurate, before Long Village chose to disclose something, the things they knew were extremely few and far between!
Thinking of these, the middle-aged camel's heart stirred, and then he spoke directly:
"Prince, if Long Village has indeed shown a strong naval power, should we further increase our cooperation with Long Village?"
Hearing this, Modalarhan's eyes flickered slightly.
"………"
While Modalarhan and his companion were having their conversation, on the other side of another ship flying the flag of Tōyō Village, ——
"Gonbin, the future of our Tōyō Village is in your hands. I hope you can lead our destiny and show those f*cking Long Village people our true strength. Let them know that even without the mushrooms, even though we have been controlled by Black and White Eagle for decades, we are still one of the strongest villages in the world!"
"Let them know that we are not easy to bully. Any village that wants to deal with us will inevitably have to pay a heavy price!"
"Gonbin, please! !"
At the end of his words, the speaking Tōyō man bowed deeply to a commander dressed in the uniform of the Tōyō Guard Corps, bending at a ninety-degree angle.
Seeing the man's action in front of him, the commander of the Tōyō Guard Corps couldn't help but hurry back and bow deeply to the other, bowing at a ninety-degree angle just like him, and said:
"Kurokawa, please be at ease. This time, I will definitely make those f*cking Long Village people pay the price! Even if it costs me my life! I swear it with my family's honor!"
Hearing this, the originally slender middle-aged man's face subtly revealed a smile.
However, just a moment later, this smile turned into malice!
"You f*cking Long Village! Wait and see, you'll regret it!"
"………"
At the same time, on a ship flying the flag of the Polar Bear Village——
"Mr. Vestalia, is Long Village really as strong as you say it is?"
Standing in front of the tall port window, a middle-aged Polar Bear with a thick beard couldn't help but ask his companion, another thin middle-aged Polar Bear, who stood by the window: "Mr. Vestalia, is Long Village really as strong as you say it is?"
In response to the question, the slender middle-aged man nodded slightly and said:
"Andre, I can only say that they are stronger than we imagined. They may have already surpassed Black and White Eagle!"
To surpass Black and White Eagle?
The middle-aged Polar Bear with a beard frowned slightly.
He had some doubts.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged Polar Bear with a beard again spoke:
"Mr. Vestalia, do you think too highly of Long Village? They were still purchasing warships from us a few years ago, and the last destroyer they bought from us was handed over to the Long Village navy by me personally. Those destroyers are indeed some of the most advanced destroyers in our hands, but can those few destroyers even withstand an attack from Tōyō Village? Not to mention resisting or surpassing Black and White Eagle!"
In response to the voice of the middle-aged Polar Bear with a beard, the slender middle-aged man, also known as Vestalia, fell silent.
After a long time, he finally sighed:
"I also hope that I have overestimated Long Village, that way we can avoid countless troubles. But do you know, yesterday Tōyō Village found us. Guess what they came to us for?"
"Tōyō Village?" Andre, the middle-aged Polar Bear with a beard, furrowed his brow slightly and subconsciously said, "They came to find us?"
For Tōyō Village, Andre only had disgust in his heart.
As the commander of the Polar Bear North Pacific Fleet, due to the four islands, he had fought with Tōyō Village more than once.
Because of the disparity in strength, most of the time it was them who suffered losses.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact is that Tōyō Village's guard corps are much stronger than the Polar Bear North Pacific Fleet!
Also because of those losses, he had been in command of the North Pacific Fleet for more than a decade, and to this day, he had yet to move from his position.
In such a situation, he naturally had no good feelings towards Tōyō Village.
"They came to us to give us money, technology, and land!" Facing Andre's question, Vestalia didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"????" Hearing this, Andre was stunned.
"Did the Tōyō idiots eat mushrooms and go crazy?" Almost without thinking, Andre said directly.
"……" Vestalia remained silent.
At this moment, Andre was also aware of something, and his brow furrowed as he said:
"They're at the end of their rope?"
"Yes" Vestalia nodded slightly, and then continued: "They are now at a dead end, pressured by Long Village and Black and White Eagle Village, so they came to us seeking refuge!"
"As a trade, they promised to provide us with more than five trillion slices of funds over the next twenty years and help us build a complete light industrial system and advanced industrial systems such as semiconductors!"
"In addition, they will provide us with forty cutting-edge industrial technologies, including advanced chips and precision machine tools!"
"And they will abandon those four islands..."
Hearing this, Andre's pupils contracted.
As the commander of the Polar Bear North Pacific Fleet, he certainly isn't a fool with his brain full of muscles.
Similarly, although he looked down on Tōyō Village, with dozens of battles against them, he had a deep understanding of Tōyō Village.
He was very clear about the character of Tōyō Village. If they weren't truly at the end of their rope, those guys who pretend to be modest and benevolent but are actually mean-spirited to the core would never propose such conditions!
"The strength of Long Village has really reached such a level?"
After understanding the key point, Andre's expression also became serious.
Tōyō Village itself is not without strength. If it were to leave the monster lair of Dōshū, its power would rank among the top in any place in the world!
For example, the region often referred to as the cradle of civilization by the shepherd dogs, if placed Tōyō Village in Europe without the mushrooms, it could be said that no other village could compete with Tōyō Village!
Even the heavyweights of the European region, such as Niao Niao, Iron Tower, and the Three Deities!
In addition to Tōyō Village's own strong power, behind Tōyō Village is the support of Black and White Eagle Village!
With Black and White Eagle Village as their backing, Tōyō Village's power is even more formidable!
But now, Tōyō Village comes to seek help from their "enemy," and is willing to offer such enormous wealth and so many advanced technologies, as well as the most coveted land in Tōyō Village!
The implications of this reveal are enough to make one think deeply!
To put it bluntly, Tōyō Village can no longer stand up against Long Village!
Or, to say it another way, Tōyō Village, and even the Black and White Eagle Village behind it, can no longer stand up against Long Village!
Or, in fact, the Black and White Eagle Village has been pressured by Long Village, forcing Tōyō Village to its knees and making it desperate enough to seek their salvation!
Thinking about this, Andre's expression became even more serious.
After a long while, Andre took a deep breath and then spoke gravely:
"Mr. Vestalia, then what should we do now?"
In response to the question, Vestalia glanced at Andre and then spoke gravely:
"Mr. Kornofsky said that you are to test the strength of Long Village as much as possible without crossing their bottom line. We need to know the specific situation of Long Village as accurately as possible, so that we can make more precise judgments based on this information!"
Hearing this, Andre's eyes twinkled slightly.
After a moment, Andre nodded directly and said:
"I understand, Mr. Vestalia, rest assured, I will do my best to test out the strength of Long Village!"
After receiving a response, Vestalia nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
However, the eyes that turned back to look out of the port window again were filled with worry.
Especially when his gaze fell upon the distant warships nearby, which were already somewhat rusted, the worry in Vestalia's eyes deepened even more.
This time, they almost pulled out the main force of the North Pacific Fleet.
This includes one cruiser and six destroyers, three of which are the same as the six destroyers they sold to Long Village two years ago, which are their most advanced destroyers currently in service.
In addition to that, the fleet includes four Kilo-class Great Blackfish subs!
With the remaining ships still in maintenance, almost the entire main force of the North Pacific Fleet is here!
If it were in the past, they would have had absolute confidence in facing Long Village with such a force!
After all, their naval strength may be weak, but it is not comparable to the previous Long Village!
However, Vestalia is deeply worried.
These outdated warships, can they really compete with Long Village?
No!
Even more, it's not about whether they can compete!
But it should be said, can these warships really test out the strength of Long Village?
"Ah..."
After thinking about all of this, a sigh escaped quietly from Vestalia's mouth...
Wuwu...
At the moment Vestalia sighed...
Suddenly, a loud horn blast echoes from the distant skyline!
The sudden sound pulls everyone's attention back to reality and they all pick up their telescopes in unison, directing their gaze towards the direction of the source of the sound.
Under the gaze of many, a warship as massive as a mountain quietly appears within the range of the telescopes...
"Is this... Long Village's aircraft carrier?"
Looking at the colossal object, and the flag hanging above it, everyone's spirits were jolted.
"Long Village actually managed to repair that aircraft carrier?"
As the massive figure became more solid, one by one, the spectators from all over the world were filled with a touch of astonishment in their eyes.
Everyone knows the origin of Long Village's aircraft carrier.
Just as everyone knows, everyone knows that this aircraft carrier was once in terrible condition!
In the words of Black and White Eagle before, this thing was so broken that even if they sold it to them as scrap metal, it would be too much trouble!
Ten years ago, when Long Village spent nearly a billion dollars to bring this aircraft carrier back to Long Village, almost the entire world was laughing at Long Village.
Absolutely no one thought that this broken, rusted, and decades-old aircraft carrier that had all its systems, engines, and even cables dismantled could have any actual value!
At the same time, this aircraft carrier, which was considered worthless as scrap metal and had been left to rot in the port for decades, appeared before the world in a completely new form!
