He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

Gao Yun's expression was slightly gloomy, but he did not stop Zhang Beixing from continuing.

“Go on, what else don’t we know?”

Zhang Beixing took a deep breath, his expression more serious than ever before.

"If even a tiny bit of this purified raw material leaks, no one who comes into contact with it will come back unharmed."

"During firefights with terrorists, no one can guarantee that the raw materials will not be leaked due to being hit by bullets."

Gao Yun frowned and asked, "What's your opinion, Zhang Beixing?"

Zhang Beixing stared intently at Gao Yun, speaking each word with force and conviction.

"Perhaps Captain Yang is brave enough to continue the mission regardless of the danger, but I can't just watch my team members go to their deaths. They should play a greater role, instead of dying in frustration on the battlefield in a foreign land."

"Therefore, I oppose this mission!"

After hearing Zhang Beixing's words, Gao Yun fell silent.
He could not refute these remarks.

Humans are inherently selfish. Even sages like Confucius and Mencius often said: "No one is perfect, who can be without fault?" Let alone ordinary people like them.

Ivia is ultimately a foreign battlefield, not a peacekeeping mission, yet it is indeed somewhat inhumane to ask one's own soldiers to sacrifice themselves for another country.

Yang Rui quietly tugged at Zhang Beixing, while Gao Yun remained calm.

"Let him continue."

Gao Yun took a deep breath.

"As I just said, I don't actually agree with this rash mission either, but the reasons are not enough to convince the higher-ups."

not enough?

Then let's add another irrefutable reason!

Thinking of this, Zhang Beixing spoke without fear.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

"If this country wants to restore peace, it has to save itself by its own hands, instead of always relying on China. This is not our responsibility."

"The civil war in Ivia is not China's responsibility!"

Zhang Beixing's answer was resounding, and Gao Yun felt a surge of emotion upon hearing it.

Indeed, just like the War of Resistance against Japan that once took place on the land of China, it was the millions of people who stood up and drove out the invaders with their own hands.

When a nation is in peril, only it can save itself!

Yang Rui, who was standing to the side, also fell into deep thought after listening to this.

Perhaps the team members were aware of the danger, yet they still went forward one after another, resolutely fulfilling their duty as soldiers.

but……

As their captain, Yang Rui hoped they could survive.

Moreover, the yellowcake issue is not something that can't be salvaged without their help. As Zhang Beixing said, they should handle their own affairs!
Zhang Beixing hadn't finished speaking.

"Currently, Red Cell and Sea Serpent have three seriously injured and eight slightly injured. Their combined combat strength is less than one-tenth of their usual strength. Under these circumstances, acting rashly is not fearless, but a futile suicide mission."

After listening to Zhang Beixing's account, Gao Yun slowly nodded.

“What you said makes a lot of sense. It was a lack of consideration on the part of the command. I will report what you just mentioned to my superiors and try to cancel this operation.”

Gao Yun sighed, "But we can't completely ignore the yellowcake issue."

Zhang Beixing nodded, agreeing with Gao Yun's opinion.

“That’s natural. Zaka has committed numerous atrocities, so we can’t let them cause even more casualties.”

Seeing that Zhang Beixing did not refute his opinion this time, Gao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and added.

"If possible, I hope you can find the location of the yellowcake hideout and send it to the Ivia government in the form of coordinates so that they can handle it themselves."

“No problem,” Zhang Beixing replied readily. “I will personally go and find those yellowcakes later.”

"Okay, I will contact the Ivia government."

Then, communication was cut off.

Yang Rui, who was standing to the side, frowned upon hearing Zhang Beixing's words.

"You're going alone?"

Zhang Beixing casually said, "Right, it's not like we're going to war. If we're going to infiltrate and find a target, it's easier to do it alone."

"No, this is too dangerous. We just broke out of their base, and you want to go back? This is... I'll go with you!"

Zhang Beixing waved with a smile, glancing at the Red Cell team members not far behind him as he spoke.

"No need, you still need to keep an eye on them, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Upon seeing this, Yang Rui immediately lowered his voice.

"You won't let us go, but you insist on going yourself. What exactly are you planning to do?"

Zhang Beixing shook his head and chuckled.

"There's no other way. I openly disobeyed orders this time. If I don't do something, I won't be able to explain myself when I go back to Wolf Fang."

He said casually, "Besides, I'm not stupid. Only a fool would do something he's not sure about. It's just that we're all taking a step back."

Nothing is more important than survival.

Upon hearing this, Yang Rui couldn't help but take another deep look at the Red Cell team members.

After looking away, Yang Rui looked at Zhang Beixing with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "You must come back safely!"

"Don't worry, I already have a lead, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed so readily," Zhang Beixing said seriously.

"That's good."

After Zhang Beixing finished speaking, he turned around and called out to He Chenguang, who was treating Xu Tianlong's wounds.

"Falcon!"

"To!"

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing call him, He Chenguang immediately jogged over to him.

Zhang Beixing looked at He Chenguang and said solemnly.

"Falcon, I hereby officially appoint you as the vice-captain of the Red Cell Special Operations Team!"

what?
What's going on with suddenly becoming the vice-captain?
He Chenguang was slightly taken aback. "Captain, what's this...?"

Zhang Beixing didn't try to hide anything, but said directly, "I have a special mission later. You will be leading the Red Cell team for the time being. Remember, you must assist Captain Yang in managing the team."

A special mission for one person?
He Chenguang frowned even more. "Captain, I'm not injured. Why don't I go with you?"

Zhang Beixing laughed and scolded, "It's precisely because you're the only one who didn't get hurt that I need you to protect them while I'm away, especially that Zhang Nengliang. If he doesn't obey, just beat him up!"

"Captain, you're all alone, I..."

He Chenguang couldn't help but want to argue, but was sternly interrupted by Zhang Beixing.

"Don't say anything more, just carry out the order."

He Chenguang saluted sharply: "Yes, sir!"

After putting his hands down, he couldn't help but ask, "Captain, what kind of special mission is it?"

Zhang Beixing snapped irritably, "I already said it's a special mission, why would I tell you?"

He Chenguang gave an awkward smile, and seeing that Zhang Beixing didn't want to say anything more, he remained silent.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the sound of an airplane wing piercing the sky rang out in the air.

Everyone looked up and saw a drone bearing the Chinese flag take off from the warship and successfully arrive above the tank. Zhang Beixing looked away and patted He Chenguang on the shoulder.

"Chenguang, you are a very outstanding sniper, second only to me, and you have a great sense of the big picture. I am very confident in making you the vice captain. Don't feel pressured, worrying will only make you confused."

Seeing Zhang Beixing's serious expression, He Chenguang couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

Captain, you were just praising me, but you ended up praising yourself too, really...

He Chenguang put aside these distracting thoughts and nodded firmly with a determined look in his eyes.

"I've got it, Brother Beixing. I will definitely bring them back to the warship safely!"

Zhang Beixing nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Alright, I'll go first then. Captain Yang, I'm leaving them all to you."

"rest assured."

Yang Rui gave Zhang Beixing a firm look, watching Zhang Beixing's back recede into the distance.

Yang Rui turned around and gave an order.

"Everyone has it!"

"Follow the drone's guidance and return to the warship!"

Guided by aerial drones, the Red Cell and Sea Serpent joint operations team, each operating two armored vehicles and a main battle tank, returned to the warship via a safe route to report back...

Yang Rui took over the duties of the tank commander, leading the way for the armored vehicles that had lost their firepower.

Zhang Beixing quietly left the convoy in the Gobi Desert region where he had previously clashed with Zaka.

With He Chenguang and Yang Rui leading the team together, Zhang Beixing was not worried about their safety on the return journey.

Although the special forces' combat capabilities have declined, they are still elite special soldiers selected from the army and navy, and they will certainly not be unable to cope even if they encounter armed forces.

He turned around and headed towards Basem alone once more.

About an hour ago, they not only successfully rescued the hostages from Zaka's base, but also wreaked havoc in the town, killing a large number of Zaka members.

This would surely strengthen Basem's defenses, making it virtually impossible to sneak in again.

This mission involves scouting the hidden location of the yellowcake, not a direct confrontation, so we should proceed with caution.

After much deliberation, Zhang Beixing concluded that it would be more convenient to act by disguising himself as one of the members.

"Those Zaka members outside the city..."

Zhang Beixing ate his military rations while muttering to himself.

After finishing his military rations, Zhang Beixing felt his strength return and began to run faster across the Gobi Desert.

However, instead of returning directly to Basem, he took a detour in the opposite direction.

The group of pursuers who came out of the city were his target!
……

At dusk, the setting sun dips below the horizon.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the entire town of Bassam was enveloped in the darkness of twilight.

Large searchlights flashed brightly on the high buildings in the town, and the town strengthened its defenses. Zaka members formed teams of a dozen or so and began patrolling inside and outside the town.

The lingering smell of gunpowder still hangs in the air from the fierce battle that took place during the day.

Inside a well-fortified building in the square camp area, the lights were on.

Inside the room, the furious roars and curses of the leader, Zaka, could be heard.

"Useless! You're all useless! With eagles guiding you from the sky, how could you still lose track of your target?"

"Are our great freedom fighters really unable to deal with even a few Chinese soldiers?"

Terrorist leader Zaka spat at the group of people standing in front of him, slamming his fist on the table in front of him in anger.

"You bunch of idiots! You couldn't even track them down! What have you all done for me?!"

A Zaka member, who appeared to be a minor leader, shrank back and timidly offered a low-pitched defense.

“Chief, we really did our best. We just followed your eagle and chased after it in the direction it pointed out.”

He swallowed hard and said cautiously, "But no matter how fast we chase after them, we can't see any trace of those Chinese soldiers, and we don't know why..."

The fierce fighting during the day resulted in heavy casualties among the organization's members, and their leader, Zaka, was extremely irritable.

"You mean... my eagle led you astray?"

The numerous terrorists standing in front of the table all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.

Their silence conveyed their tacit agreement.

Leader Zaka immediately turned cold and angrily rebuked, "I only know that people can lie, I've never heard of an eagle lying!"

"It's one thing to be useless, but to push the blame onto my little darling, don't you have any shame?"

The terrorists were all terrified, holding their breath, and dared not utter a word in rebuttal.

Not only did the leaders not believe it, but even they themselves couldn't believe it.

Eagles are more accurate than high-tech drones in tracking their prey on the ground; there's no reason for them to make a mistake.

The key problem is that despite their relentless pursuit, they haven't seen a single person.

What a hell!

It's impossible that someone turned the leader's eagle to the side, right?
However, regardless of the circumstances, the fact that those Chinese soldiers had completely escaped Zaka's control was a fait accompli, and no amount of regret or anger could change that.

Leader Zaka's chest rose and fell slightly, and after a long while he finally calmed down.

He looked up at his men standing at the table and coldly ordered, "Get back to your patrols! If any more rats sneak in tonight, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"Yes, leader!"

The dejected members turned to leave.

Just then, Zaka suddenly shouted again.

"Zamaru, you stay!"

The Zamaru he mentioned was the gatekeeper who had previously seen through Zhang Beixing's disguise.

Zamaru turned back to the leader with a flicker in his eyes, unsure of the leader's purpose in keeping him alone.

Zaka smiled slightly and patted Zamaru on the shoulder.

"Don't be nervous. You did a great job this time and deserve a reward. I'll give you the position of captain, and you won't have to guard the gate anymore."

team leader?

Is this a promotion?
Zamaru's face immediately lit up with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Thank you, Chief!"

Leader Zaka waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to get so agitated.

Zamaru's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "Chief, what should we do with those Chinese soldiers? Are we really just going to let them go like this?"

Leader Zaka gave a cold snort.

"They're just a few little mice. Let them go if they've escaped."

As he spoke, Zaka raised his cold gaze and gestured with his chin toward a muscular man standing beside him.

"Are all the personnel we sent to the port of Ofama in place?"

The burly man nodded silently, took a tablet computer from the table behind him, placed it in front of him, and indicated that the operation could begin at any time.

Zaka's expression softened slightly, and he slowly spoke, his voice becoming even colder, as if carrying a chilling aura.

He glanced at his fellow villager, Zamaru, and gave a cold smile, his eyes sharp. (End of Chapter)
