He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

"A capable helper?" Li Erniu scratched his head in confusion. "But isn't it a bad bird?"

“Erniu, you’re wrong.” Zhang Beixing’s lips curled up slightly. “A great man once said that birds, whether white or black, are good birds as long as they can be used by us.”

"Look at me."

After saying that, Zhang Beixing stood up atop the speeding tank, facing the howling wind. He put his finger to his lips, whistled loudly into the air, and then slowly raised his right arm across his chest.

The next moment, the eagle soaring high in the sky instantly transformed into a black arrow, swooping down towards the main battle tank below!

The people clinging to the tank armor were taken aback. Before they could react, the black eagle suddenly folded its wings, its sharp talons hovering in the air, and landed steadily on Zhang Beixing's right arm. Its bright black eyes darted around, curiously observing the group.

Li Erniu was dumbfounded, and the others were even more shocked.

Captain Zhang actually summoned the terrorist's eagle with a simple wave of his hand? Aren't eagles supposed to be very loyal to their masters? What's going on here?!
The people on the roof stared intently at Zhang Beixing teasing the eagle on his arm, unable to hide their shock once again.

Li Erniu chuckled, "My goodness, Brother Beixing, I knew you could train birds, but I never imagined you even understood foreign eagle languages!"

Zhang Beixing smiled calmly, then raised his right arm. The eagle immediately spread its wings and soared into the sky once more.

"Go! Show Zaka the way that goes in the opposite direction from us!"

The eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, then shrank into a black dot in the pupil in the blink of an eye, gradually disappearing into the dim yellow sky.

Zhang Beixing looked up at the receding black dot on the horizon and sighed softly, as if regretting something.

It's a pity Caesar couldn't participate in this sea mission, otherwise I could have been a dashing young man, leading a yellow dog on the left and a falcon on the right, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, how majestic!

Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity...

With Zaka's pursuers gone, the tanks moved more and more smoothly.

The main battle tanks kicked up clouds of dust as they sped towards the assembly point. About half an hour later, Zhang Beixing finally met up with Yang Rui and the others at the assembly point.

Seeing their captain jump off the tank, He Chenguang and Song Feikai stood at attention and saluted in unison, their faces filled with remorse.

"I'm sorry, Captain, we failed to protect Zhuang Yu."

Zhang Bei walked up to the two men and slowly shook his head.

"It's not your fault. Zaka's firepower was too intense; even we were struggling to cope. It's a miracle you came back alive. By the way, how is Zhuang Yu doing now?"

"Lu Chen gave him emergency treatment, and his life is out of danger, but he is still unconscious."

The tank came to a stop in a concealed location, and Gu Shun and Li Dong got out and took on the guard duty. Xu Tianlong and Zhang Tiande, the two wounded, slowly climbed out of the tank with the help of Zhang Nengliang, Xu Hong, and others, breathing in the fresh air.

Zhang Beixing, slightly out of breath, looked at He Chenguang and Song Kaifei, who were full of apologies, and said calmly, "Longlong is injured. You two go and help take care of him. I'll go see Captain Yang first."

"Yes."

The two turned and jogged toward the tank.

Zhang Beixing walked straight ahead, heading towards a desolate hilly ravine. There, a makeshift shelter had been erected, where the seriously injured Zhuang Yu was recuperating.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Yang Rui turned around and saw Zhang Beixing, a bitter smile on his face.

"Captain Zhang, you brought my men back safe and sound, and I brought yours back too. I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

Zhang Beixing smiled and nodded slowly. This battle was a true head-on engagement, and given their inferior firepower and numbers, it was indeed a tough fight. The fact that no one had been killed was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

Zhang Beixing asked in a deep voice, "Captain Yang, have you made contact with the warship? We are all injured right now, and it will be very dangerous without support."

Yang Rui shook his head and glanced at Zhuang Yu, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

"The communication equipment was finally repaired, but due to the sandstorm and the great distance from the warship, the radio network was unable to make contact with the warship at all."

Yang Rui sighed heavily.

"Zhuang Yu is still unconscious, so it's extremely difficult to contact the warship."

Listening to Yang Rui's account, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Sandstorms are easy to deal with; just find somewhere to hide and it will pass quickly.

"Is the network connection lost due to distance?"

Zhang Beixing muttered to himself, a sudden inspiration striking him. The problem of distance was simply insufficient signal strength! If that was the case, wouldn't increasing the output signal be enough to re-establish contact with the warship?

Zhang Beixing was always decisive and efficient, and as soon as he thought of it, he immediately looked up at Yang Rui.

"Captain Yang, is Zhuang Yu's computer still working?"

“It’s usable, but…” Yang Rui hesitated and glanced at Zhang Beixing, “I’ve tried every method I can think of, but unless we can shorten the distance between us and the warship by at least half, we simply cannot make contact.”

As he spoke, he handed Zhuang Yu's high-end tactical computer to Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing took it casually, shook his head slightly, and gave Yang Rui a confident smile.

"Our radio signal is weak, but the Ivia government's national intranet signal must be strong!"

Yang Rui asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Seeing Yang Rui's bewildered expression, Zhang Beixing smiled calmly.

"So, we're using the Ivia national network as a relay base station to boost our signal. Wouldn't that allow us to contact the warships?"

Yang Rui blinked. Although he didn't fully understand, he felt that it made a lot of sense.

"But the Ivia government is unlikely to open its national intranet to us!"

Zhang Beixing smiled slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Do I need the Ivia government's approval to use their national intranet?"

"do you need?"

"Don't you need it?"

Looking at Zhang Beixing's confident expression, Yang Rui became even more confused.

"No, you want to use their government's intranet? How can you use it if they don't agree? Besides, this is the highest-security national intranet, not a civilian network. Even if they wanted to break into it, they couldn't just do it... Holy crap!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Rui looked at the computer screen Zhang Beixing had turned around and couldn't help but swear. Less than five seconds later, a clear line of letters "stage clear" appeared on the screen.

Zhang Beixing smiled slightly at Yang Rui, whose lips were twitching, and answered his own question.

The answer is, of course, no.

"No, wait a minute." Yang Rui, his face filled with shock, hurriedly stopped Zhang Beixing from taking the next step.

"Captain Zhang, you should think this through. We are Chinese soldiers, and we are currently on foreign soil, representing the will of our nation. Unauthorized intrusion into another country's domestic network could potentially trigger an international dispute."

After listening to him, Zhang Beixing nodded and said "oh," then continued to focus on his work.

"Don't worry, I've modified our IP signal source, they can't find it. When we contact the warships, I'll block them directly."

What?! The Ivia government has been blocked?!
Zhang Beixing spoke casually, but Yang Rui was deeply moved. Using another country's national intranet and then blocking the host country's access? Luckily, the other party didn't hear, or they would have been furious!
Yang Rui stared at Zhang Beixing in shock, thinking to himself: I always thought you were joking when you said "a captain has to be omniscient and omnipotent," but who would have thought you were serious? You can drive tanks, defuse bombs, and even heal gunshot wounds from rocks, and now you've even become a hacker! We're all special forces captains, how am I supposed to survive in the Sea Serpent if you keep doing this!

Yang Rui broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's done!"

A moment later, Zhang Beixing looked up and smiled. He gave Yang a gesture of success, interrupting Yang Rui's inner amazement. The tactical computer screen flashed, and then the dark face of Gao Yun, the captain of the Linyi warship, appeared!
At the same time, images of Zhang Beixing and Yang Rui were also displayed on the large screen in the warship's command center.

When Gao Yun finally saw Zhang Beixing and Captain Yang appear on screen, he felt both excited and worried.

He quickly connected the call and asked anxiously, "Zhang Beixing, Yang Rui, I've finally gotten in touch with you! How are you doing? Are any of you injured?"

Yang Rui straightened his posture, saluted, and reported smoothly:
"Please rest assured, Captain!"

"The Red Cell and Sea Serpent Joint Task Force has successfully rescued the hostages in the town of Basem, during which a fierce conflict broke out with Zaka's forces."

"Zhuang Yu, Zhang Tiande and Xu Tianlong were injured, but fortunately the rest of the team members are safe and sound."

After listening to Yang Rui's report, Gao Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression relaxed.

"That's good. Your safety is the most important thing. All the officers and men on the ship have been worried about you."

At this point, Gao Yun suddenly paused.

"By the way, we've been trying to contact you, but a sandstorm suddenly hit near Basem town, making it difficult for warships to transmit signals. How did you manage to get in touch with us?"

How did you get in touch with the warship?

Captain, you've really hit the nail on the head.

Upon hearing this question, Yang Rui's gaze shifted, and he stammered, unsure how to respond.

If he were to say directly that Zhang Beixing cracked Ivia's internal network and used their signal source as a relay station to make contact, he might face punishment!

Seeing Yang Rui's troubled expression, Gao Yun couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Yang Rui, are you feeling unwell?"

Yang Rui was caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to respond. Seeing this, Zhang Beixing immediately stepped forward.

A face covered in battle paint and dust instantly filled the entire screen.

Zhang Beixing blurted out, "Captain Gao, how we made contact isn't important. The key is that after this fierce battle with Zaka, our action team has almost run out of ammunition."

"We urgently need a drone to provide ammunition resupply and navigation guidance, as well as to clear dangerous obstacles along the way. We need support!"

Zhang Beixing's words successfully diverted Gao Yun's attention, and the latter nodded solemnly.

"Old Zhao, arrange for the drones to take off and support the action team!"

"clear."

Gao Yun's support action was very swift, he said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, the drone has already taken off and is expected to arrive over your airspace in ten minutes."

ten minutes?
Zhang Beixing pondered to himself.

Zaka's cleverness backfired; the relentless terrorists should now be chasing in the opposite direction, and ten minutes is enough time for them to wait for reinforcements.

But at that moment, Gao Yun remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking again.

"Zhang Beixing, Captain Yang, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

Seeing Gao Yun's serious expression, Zhang Beixing felt a sense of foreboding.

"Here's what happened. Reporter Xia Nan found the command post on the ship and reported to me that Zaka had purchased yellowcake and planned to sell it to General Sharaf to carry out terrorist attacks. I have already reported this to my superiors."

Upon hearing Gao Yun's words, Zhang Beixing was taken aback.

Sure enough, I knew it wouldn't be anything good!
"Since we have formal diplomatic relations with Ivia, our superiors take this into consideration and do not want Ivia to descend into further chaos. However, considering the condition of the team members, they would like to hear your opinions."

Gao Yun slowly asked, "Zhang Beixing and Yang Rui, are you confident that you can find the yellowcake and bring it back safely?"

Yang Rui looked around at his exhausted teammates, then hesitated to speak.

He was about to stand at attention and salute, ready to accept this arduous task, when Zhang Beixing stopped him.

Yang Rui was taken aback and looked at Zhang Beixing in surprise.

Zhang Beixing took a deep breath and answered first, "I object!"

Upon hearing this, all three of them were stunned.

what?
be opposed to!

And why are they so resolute?
Zhang Beixing's resolute answer landed.

Not only was Yang Rui, who was standing next to him, stunned, but even Captain Gao Yun on the other side of the screen was clearly taken aback.

In all his years of service in the Navy, he had never seen a soldier so directly question orders from his superiors.

Yes, this is indeed a request for opinions on action, but it is still an order issued by a superior.

You don't even want to consider it?
That was a rather abrupt refusal!

Zhang Beixing's reaction was completely unexpected by Gao Yun.

The scene became extremely awkward, falling into an eerie silence.

The three people stared at each other, speechless.

"Cough cough."

After a long pause, Gao Yun coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

Gao Yun sighed deeply.

"Actually, I personally don't quite agree with this directive either."

"Although yellowcake is just a conventional nuclear material, it still poses a high risk. Even inhaling just a tiny amount can cause serious harm to the human body. I don't want to see my team members take such a risk, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Beixing immediately interrupted Captain Gao Yun.

"It's not just that. Yellowcake is indeed a necessary intermediate product in the nuclear fuel production process, but..."

Zhang Beixing then changed the subject.

"Although the purity of yellowcake is insufficient to manufacture nuclear weapons, through hydrofluorination or extraction methods, the uranium octoxide in it can be converted into uranium tetrafluoride, and finally uranium hexafluoride. After high purification, dirty bombs made from it are incredibly powerful and extremely radioactive."

"Moreover, as far as we know, Zaka has already mastered this purification technology!"

what?
These terrorists actually possessed yellowcake refining technology?
How could they have mastered this technology without the support of state power?

It is important to understand that whether or not these nuclear materials have been purified fundamentally determines the degree of harm caused by their radiation.

The higher the purity, the greater the radiation, and the greater the risk factor!

The command center did indeed overlook this important intelligence.

Radiation is invisible and intangible, which undoubtedly greatly increases the danger of the mission. (End of Chapter)
