With the US forces at sea and in the air under Tang Yue's control, the pressure on Base 5 decreased dramatically. This was quickly noticed by everyone.
Chang Yin commanded the tank battalion to charge forward with fierce firepower. The US army had limited time to mobilize its troops and had no tanks to send. Therefore, the land battlefield was quickly brought under control.
Tang Yue released a warship from her spatial storage and went directly to its control center. Once inside, she realized a crucial mistake: she had no idea how to contact the Chinese headquarters.
Moreover, she couldn't contact any of the squads. But the situation was urgent, and it was unrealistic for her to set off to find them. Tang Yue gritted her teeth and called Commander Kang of the South Island Corps.
The South Island Corps has been particularly lively these past few days. Commander Kang is extremely busy every day. The reason is that two things, the 'Kemi' project led by Tang Yue and a supercomputer, have been launched simultaneously.
This news caused a sensation not only throughout the South Island but also throughout the entire country of China.
Experts from all over the country are rushing to the South Island. Leaders from several bases are also coming to participate in the sea trials of the 'Kemi'.
Commander Kang was pacing anxiously in his office when the phone rang again. He frowned in annoyance; the ringing of the phone was like a death knell now, and he couldn't refuse any of them.
So he really didn't want to answer the phone. But the phone kept ringing, and finally he had no choice but to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Commander Kang?"
Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Commander Kang immediately straightened up. He tentatively asked, "Tang Yue? Why are you calling back?"
Tang Yue recognized Commander Kang's voice immediately. She didn't ask why Commander Kang was in his office so early.
"Commander Kang, this is Tang Yue. I need your help with something."
Commander Kang...
This little girl's information network is too good! Could it be that she knows about the 'Kermi' and the supercomputer? Or perhaps someone couldn't contact him and has already gone to the battlefield?
His mind was racing, but Commander Kang didn't waste any time. "Alright, go ahead."
"It's like this, we captured the US Army's Base No. 5 the day before yesterday." Tang Yue had barely begun when Commander Kang's breathing immediately became heavy.
Tang Yue knew he was agitated, but now was not the time to be. Tang Yue quickly continued, "Commander Kang, please don't get agitated. All power and signals at Base 5 have been destroyed. The Chinese army is currently unable to contact the outside world."
Base 5 is a crucial US military base throughout Vietnam, and the US is now launching a counterattack, with simultaneous land, sea, and air operations. Base 5 currently only has about 30,000 Chinese troops. The situation is urgent, but I cannot contact Vietnam's overall command center.
"Commander Kang, please tell me the phone number for the general command center immediately."
Commander Kang was very anxious at this moment. "I don't know the phone number of the general command center, but I can contact my superiors now and ask them to contact the general command center of Bianyue immediately."
Tang Yue thought that would work. She was about to suggest that Commander Kang notify her later, but then she thought that firstly, she didn't have time to stay on the warship all the time, and secondly, Commander Kang would need to apply for permission to make an international call.
There's no need for such trouble at this point. "Alright, that's all for now, Commander Kang. Please contact me as soon as possible. I'll hang up now."
Without giving Commander Kang more time to speak, Tang Yue hung up the phone first. Actually, she really wanted to ask about her mother and grandfather, but now was clearly not a good time to chat.
Tang Yue had just landed ashore when she saw Tang Shengkai carrying someone on his back coming from afar.
Upon getting closer, Tang Shengkai's face flashed with embarrassment the moment he saw Tang Yue. Tang Yue didn't understand why her father had that expression. Tang Shengkai quickly composed himself, "Yueyue, are there warships in the distance at sea?"
While speaking, he gave Tang Yue a wink. Before Tang Yue could answer, the old man behind Tang Shengkai had already raised his head, his voice full of anger.
Upon closer listening, there was a slight tremor. "Tang Shengkai, you dare disobey military orders! If you don't let me go back, I'll shoot you dead."
Tang Shengkai remained unmoved, firmly holding Commander Han on his back. Tang Yue didn't know what had happened between her father and Commander Han, but she was certain something was amiss.
Tang Yue pointed casually, "Yes, there's a US warship over there. I just shot it down."
Tang Shengkai nodded, turned around, and boarded a speedboat by the sea. This was something Tang Yue had placed at sea when Commander Han wasn't looking; Commander Han was struggling against Tang Shengkai's back.
"Tang Shengkai, I order you now to put me down immediately. Immediately, right now!"
Tang Shengkai lowered the person down, but directly onto the speedboat, and then got into the driver's seat. Commander Han immediately tried to get off the speedboat, but Tang Shengkai's next words made Commander Han freeze in place.
"Commander, the warship might be able to contact the outside world."
One sentence froze Commander Han firmly on the warship. Although his face was expressionless, Tang Shengkai knew that he had agreed.
Now is not the time to be emotional, Tang Shengkai started the speedboat and left.
Tang Yue clicked her tongue as she stood on the beach. Her dad... sigh! Does that mean he doesn't care about his daughter anymore now that he has a father?
Putting Commander Han's face next to Tang Shengkai's, even someone with poor eyesight couldn't honestly say the two weren't related. However, as for why Tang Shengkai became a resident of Qiligou, that will require further investigation later.
However, it's clear that her father's relationship with Commander Han has progressed further, though he seems unwilling to acknowledge it, yet his actions and heart betray him. Sigh, he's truly a contradiction.
