    Chapter 1118 – No Need, We Will Take it Ourselves


    In a short two days, the once glorious Free Squadron totally became a part of history.


    During this battle, Great Xia captured a total of 60 thousand people, 320 warships, two thousand cannons, and numerous other equipment and weapons; it was a bountiful harvest.


    Apart from that, Free Squadron’s Fleet Admiral, Nimitz, was also captured.


    Chester William Nimitz was born in 1885 in Texas?Fredericksburg, and he was a famous American navy general and one of the top 10 five star generals.


    At the early stages, he mainly researched submarines. After which, he became an expert in diesel engines.


    After the battle of the Pacific exploded, he was appointed as themander in chief of the American Pacific Squadron to lead the battle.


    After the battle, he became the director of the navybat department until he retired in 1947.


    To recognize him, the 1st nuclear powered submarine after he died was named after him.


    For such an American legend to be projected into the game world, it was thanks to the Silver Hand, or more urately, the Dawson Family’s influence, on the Federation through the game process.


    Nimitz in the game was one of the trump cards of the Dawson Dynasty navy.


    Who knew that before Nimitz could show off his excellentmanding on the world stage, he would be captured and sent back to Shanhai City.


    What awaited him was a future of great uncertainty.


    ...


    10th month, 14th day, the news of the Battle of Hawaii spread across the globe.


    At the start, it was only the Outreach Division of Great Xia who reported it, saying that Great Xia hadpletely upied Hawaii, sessfully achieving their prenned battle targets.


    The American media did not believe it and rushed to the Dawson Dynasty to seek the truth.


    The oue was naturally them learning that Hawaii was lost and four divisions of the Free Squadron were destroyed. Even Nimitz was taken by Great Xia, making Jack absolutely furious.


    Above the skies of the Dawson Dynasty was a sea of mes, burning through the entire sky. Within the pce, everyone was in danger. No one dared to get close to Jack’s reading room in case they became coteral damage.


    His fury pretty much proved the news that Great Xia revealed.


    Even so, everyone would rather doubt it than believe it.


    10th month, 25th day, the Yashan Squadron brought back the prisoners and warships past Yingzhou Province and officially appeared in the sights of people. At this time, the news was finally officially confirmed.


    The moment the news spread out, the world was in an uproar.


    In the past week, the world was bustling and astonished by the news that Great Xia had revealed. Many people were doubtful and hidden currents moved.


    Seeing that the news was confirmed, some people could not help but have cold feet.


    In a sh of titans, the first to fall often became cannon fodder; this was an unchanged rule since ancient times.


    Great Xia had be the hot topic of the world and regained its spot at the center. Maybe since the start, Great Xia had never left, and them being yed down and dissed was just the n of some other people.


    Let us look at what Great Xia did after being forced to act by TWP.


    First, they did a small test, which was to unexpectedly take down Maldives to stabilize the Indian Ocean trade route. It was also to directly threaten Peacock Dynasty.


    Following which, five days ago, the Yue Fei led army crushed the strong Jin Country before they could join hands with Qing Dynasty.


    After that battle, Great Xia not only obtained vastnd, a dreamnd for animal husbandry, rare ores, and coal, but it also totally gained a footing in the north of China.


    News had it that in that battle alone, they obtained 400 thousand Jin troops and 800 thousand horses, making them the envy of others. One could foresee that with the horses and the pastures, the Great Xia cavalry would wee a new peak.


    This battle helped to increase Great Xia’smand in China.


    Next would be the Battle of Hawaii that ended not long ago, which was the most shocking part of it all.


    ording to themon understanding of the global scene, Chinese technology fell behind America’s technology. This was set by Gaia such that no one could dispute it.


    The truth was so. The ship-making and firearms technology of Japan and Great Zhou were given to them by Dawson Dynasty, and even the steam engine technology of Great Xia was from William.


    It was said that this was the biggest regret for William. If he knew that he would give birth to such a beast after that trade, there was no way he would have done it.


    Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.


    The Battle of Hawaii totally destroyed the understanding people had of the technology tree of the two countries involved.


    Although yers were unable to learn about the specifics of the battle, from the news Great Xia revealed, in just two days, Dawson Dynasty’s most elite squadron – the Free Squadron – was destroyed.


    No matter how Great Xia ambushed them, without an equipment advantage, this could not be done.


    The Free Squadron was not weak. As one of the most advanced and focused squadrons in the world, they swept the Pacific and wiped out many pirates.


    It was such an elite squadron that appeared to be totally useless in front of the Great Xia navy.


    After this battle, after the mimicry flying device, the magic powered submarine that only Great Xia had was revealed to the world, making one suck in a cold breath.


    It was obvious that Great Xia had achieved that unprecedented feat through that hack of a technology.


    Till date, no one was sure which mysterious civilization Great Xia got this technology from.


    After this battle, Great Xia had sessfully defended their ocean rights and viciously stepped on the challenger that was Dawson Dynasty.


    After this battle, the prestige of Great Xia rose up instead of decreasing.


    Every Lord in the world looked respectfully at the king of the east, and some people were already trembling.


    The one who felt the most regret was Australia Lord Avera.


    After learning the news of Free Squadron being destroyed, he peed his pants and paced around his room anxiously.


    He thought for less than 10 minutes before he made a decision. He decided to send another letter to Great Xia saying, “Due to our previous good cooperation, we are willing to reduce TWP’s portion and priorities Great Xia.”


    After half a day, he received the reply from the Xia King.


    There was only one sentence, “No need, we will take it ourselves.”


    Looking at the letter, Avera was so frightened he shivered. That day, he met up with Java Lord Uwais to discuss the alliance and asked Java to prepare for war.


    The dark clouds of war hung over ASEAN once more.
