118: Chapter 118 Lighthouse World, Dominating Antarctica

"Brothers, eat well and drink well tonight."

"Early tomorrow morning, we will arrive in the waters of the Dragon Kingdom."

"You must keep your spirits up!"

Inside the cafeteria, Tie Zhu had arranged a sumptuous dinner for the soldiers.

Everyone celebrated wildly.

Half an hour later, they stumbled toward the sleeping quarters, feeling dizzy.

They collapsed instantly!

When they woke up, still feeling groggy,

it was already ten hours later.

"Oh, damn it!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

The soldiers were terrified and confused.

They thought they had overslept.

They hurriedly put on their uniforms, ready to leave the cabin, only to find the sleeping quarters locked tight; they couldn't get out at all.

"What is going on?"

Thousands of soldiers were completely dumbfounded.

Just then.

A faint sound of gongs and drums could be heard from outside the cabin.

[Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!]

Everyone: ???

The USS Washington carrier strike group was ultimately brought by Tie Zhu to the Pearl River Military Port.

Except for the aircraft carrier, which Tie Zhu was controlling, the other warships were in automatic follow mode.

When he sailed the carrier into the port, an emergency radio signal came from the Black Palace.

However.

He cut off the radio directly and went ashore.

On the shore!

Comrades were already lining up to welcome him, beating gongs and drums.

Commander Tang Ze stepped forward quickly, stood on his tiptoes, and placed a large red flower on Tie Zhu.

He said, his eyes filled with tears.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tie Zhu!"

"The Longke Academy, the Ministry of Oceans, and the Dragon Kingdom have all missed you."

"You have not let us down!"

Tie Zhu smiled slightly: "Serve the people."

"Serve the people!"

The scene erupted in cheers.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Black Palace, the Lord of the Black Robe was extremely anxious.

According to the original plan, the USS Washington was supposed to head directly to the Dragon Kingdom's waters.

But for some reason, the USS Washington had stayed in Kobe Port for half a day.

When he learned that Tie Zhu had requested a hundred billion dollars worth of resources, he was puzzled.

This wasn't the return journey, so why did he need so much travel money?

It wasn't until the USS Washington sailed to within less than a hundred nautical miles of the Dragon Kingdom that he finally realized something was wrong.

This was either the outbreak of a world war or a defection!

As the USS Washington sailed safely into the military port of the Dragon Kingdom, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Defection!"

"This guy is defecting!"

"Is this alien brain-dead?"

The Lord of the Black Robe screamed in anger.

"Someone come here!"

"Get me in touch with Commander Tang Ze at the Naval Department Base of the Dragon Kingdom!"

An overseas call soon rang in Commander Tang Ze's office.

"Commander Tang!"

The Lord of the Black Robe took a deep breath.

Trying to stay calm.

Commander Tang Ze smiled slightly: "Oh, Lord of the Black Robe, hello there. Do you have any advice?"

"I do have some advice."

"Our country has an aircraft carrier that accidentally... entered your country's port."

"Please verify this on your end!"

"You must return the aircraft carrier to our country within three working days!"

The Lord of the Black Robe said in a deep voice.

The hundred billion dollars in resources that Japan was swindled out of could be overlooked.

But their United States aircraft carrier had to be retrieved!

There were thousands of soldiers on board.

"Aircraft carrier? Which aircraft carrier are you talking about?"

"The USS Nimitz? The USS Lexington? Or the USS Reagan?"

Commander Tang Ze asked with a meaningful chuckle.

The Black Palace had sent so many aircraft carriers to suppress the Dragon God, and now they had sent the USS Washington, yet they still had the nerve to ask him to return it.

Return it, so you can gang up on us seven-on-one?

"The USS Washington!"

The Lord of the Black Robe gritted his teeth.

Commander Tang Ze's tone was surprised: "Isn't your United States' USS Washington a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? How could it accidentally enter our country's port? Did it get lost?"

"Rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter."

"I will notify you as soon as I have news."

After saying that.

Commander Tang Ze hung up the phone directly.

Return it?

In your dreams!

Let's take it to the Longke Academy for a thorough dissection first.

Oh.

Right.

There are also the natural resources on the deck.

The military factories have been working overtime until they're smoking lately.

They are short on various rare earths, iron ore, and other resources.

Let us digest it first, then we'll notify you!

"You..."

Hearing the beeping sound, the Lord of the Black Robe immediately knew that Commander Tang Ze intended to swallow the USS Washington—the duck that had landed in his hands—whole.

"Since you Dragon Kingdom are so shameless, I won't be polite either!"

The Lord of the Black Robe was finally furious.

"Someone come here!"

"Emergency call, convene the Five Eyes Alliance meeting!"

Soon.

A cloud meeting joining the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada was convened.

"I ask all nations to support our country in taking Antarctica!"

"As long as we completely exclude the Dragon Kingdom's aircraft carriers, we can occupy Antarctica all by ourselves."

The Lord of the Black Robe explained his intentions to the four leaders of the alliance.

"Lord of the Black Robe, Antarctica is a frozen wasteland, why suddenly seize it now?"

"Yes, although the Dragon Kingdom is hateful, isn't it bad to show our hands at this time?"

The Lord of the Black Robe said: "Antarctica is not as simple as you think. I have reliable information that the life no. 1 from a while ago most likely came from Antarctica."

"They have two scientific research stations there; we cannot let them continue their research there."

"We must occupy it."

"Expel them!"

The Lord of the Black Robe slammed the table.

A single life no. 1 has caused many scientists to plan on immigrating to the Dragon Kingdom.

If this continues, their United States will inevitably decline.

Once their United States declines, the other four eyes will inevitably suffer as well.

The United Kingdom said: "I support Antarctica belonging to your country, but it cannot be for your country alone."

"+1!"

The other three eyes said the same.

The Lord of the Black Robe smiled slightly.

"Rest assured, I have already figured it out."

"With our Five Eyes as the core and the Lighthouse World as the outer layer, we will gain global support and will certainly be able to expel the Dragon Kingdom's aircraft carriers and occupy Antarctica alone."

The Lord of the Black Robe was full of confidence.

"Deal!"

The meeting ended.

The five major countries of the alliance all issued the same statement.

[I propose: Antarctica is the wealth of all mankind, but it should be developed by the Lighthouse World! Currently, those willing to join the Lighthouse World include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada...]

[Those who do not join the Lighthouse World may not develop Antarctica, nor may they stay in the surrounding five hundred nautical miles of waters.]

This message was released and spread rapidly across the globe.

"Join! Join, my Japan will be the first to join!"

Upon learning that the USS Washington had taken their hundred billion in travel money to defect to the Dragon Kingdom, the King of Japan was so angry he ended up in the ICU again. Now, seeing the United States establish the Lighthouse World, he immediately raised both hands and feet in approval.

"My Kimchi Country is willing to support with all our national kimchi!"

"As long as you stop insulting France, I will also join..."

"Can a Lighthouse World without our Clean & Sanitary Country still be called a Lighthouse World?"

With the response of many major countries around the world.

The entire Earth was boiling.

This is the beginning of the great integration of the Earth.

And this beginning was actually started by the United States.

[Why hasn't the Dragon Kingdom joined yet?]

[Exactly, everyone else has joined, we should hurry up and join!]

[If we're late, we won't be able to develop Antarctica!]

[Yes, our Dragon God is still over there, hurry up and join!]

[Why must we join? That is an organization established by others, and it must be led by others. We should have our own judgment.]

Amid the expectations of some sycophants.

The official Dragon Kingdom responded calmly.

"No, we will not join."

"Not only will we not join, but we are also going to establish our own... Eastern Land Continent."
