Chapter 147 Not Enough Boats

"Well, let's buy them all. Let's see if there are any other good-looking ones. Let's buy some of them."
Tang Yue liked it very much. She thought the painting technique was very unique and she particularly liked this style.
Sun Jinan's jaw dropped. How many stamps would he need to buy to buy two Great Unity stamps? But since the company commander was willing, he helped buy them.
Hey, the company commander is really rich. He can even buy so many stamps at once.
At noon, Tang Yue saw Chang Yin, who hadn't been seen for a while. He looked even darker than before.
Chang Yin came directly towards Tang Yue.
"Captain, you are so dark."
There was a hint of disgust in Tang Yue's tone. Chang Yin didn't care what Tang Yue said. How could he not get dark after running around in the mountains and forests every day?
"Go to Commander Kang's office."
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. She hadn't been there for a long time. Seeing that it was time for dinner, she asked, "Do you have braised pork?"
Chang Yin's dark face remained unchanged. "Yeah, I've already gone to the cafeteria to get it."
Only then did Tang Yue happily follow him.
The family had been eating fish every day for a while, and she felt like she was starting to smell like fish. She'd asked her to try a different dish several times, but her mother thought fish was free and delicious, and acted as if she didn't hear her.
Even though the money was kept with her, her mother would ask how much money was left every few days and then keep a record of it, which made her feel embarrassed even when she wanted to spend any.
She could understand why Lin Cuicui valued money so much. Her mother had been terrified of the hard times she'd had. Now that the family had money, she wasn't worried anymore, but she wasn't willing to spend any more.
She tried to save as much money as possible so that she could feel confident in her life. Especially after she and her grandfather had worked for a few days and received their wages, she was now stuck in the family compound and could not go out. Lin Cuicui felt a little panicked.
When she arrived at Teacher Kang's office, Teacher Kang was still looking at her with a smile.
"Captain Tang, the Fourth Company has made great progress recently, and Captain Tang deserves all the credit."
"The chief praised me."
Teacher Kang handed Tang Yue two passbooks. "We've been secretly producing these two medicines for a while now. The results are a little different from what you've made, but they're still very effective."
Commander Kang pointed to the two passbooks in Tang Yue's hand and said, "These are the rewards for the two prescriptions. The one for the knockout drug is less used, so I gave you a 5,000 bonus. The truth serum helped a lot, so I'll give you 30,000 this time."
Tang Yue stared at the numbers on the passbook for a long time. She understood what it was, and knew it meant withdrawing money from the bank. But she was used to seeing those big solidarity cards in her space. It was more pleasant to look at that way.
"Can't we just give it to Great Unity?"
Teacher Kang was puzzled for a moment, then he understood what Tang Yue meant. He was a little amused, "Isn't this passbook the same? You can just take it to the post office to withdraw money when the time comes."
Tang Yue curled her lips, she couldn't get out.
Commander Kang seemed to have remembered her situation and shook his head helplessly.
"How about I change it to Great Unity for you?"
Tang Yue smiled and nodded hurriedly.
Teacher Kang took the passbook back. Tang Yue was about to leave, but Teacher Kang stopped her.
"I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Tang Yue sat back down and waited for Master Kang to continue.
"Every soldier has a mission every month. You've been here for two months now, it's time to go out on a mission."
Tang Yue knew about this and wanted to ask Chang Yin. However, Chang Yin had been away for a while and she couldn't find him. Then she remembered her own situation and didn't continue.
"Has any of the spies been looking for us recently?"
Commander Kang shook his head. "We've caught quite a few recently, but there are probably still some hiding in the dark. We don't have any leads yet."
"Then can you agree to let me go out now?"
Teacher Kang......
Commander Kang looked at Chang Yin helplessly, and Chang Yin coughed lightly.
"There's a mission at sea recently. Do you want to try it?"
Tang Yue turned her head to look at Chang Yin. Sea mission?
"What are you going to do?"
Chang Yin did not hide anything, "The dozens of spies you caught last time in the mountains who were digging for treasure, after being interrogated with truth serum, they were divided into different teams to search secretly in various regions of China.
The interrogation outside was delayed. Although several batches have been captured recently, and many have been recovered based on clues. However, according to reliable intelligence, Japanese ships will appear in the nearby waters in the next few days to pick up Japanese spies and secretly return Japanese treasures.
"So, we're going to intercept them at sea?" Tang Yue immediately became interested. She thought this was a good mission.
Chang Yin nodded solemnly.
"What's wrong? What are you worried about?"
Chang Yin continued, "The Japanese warships are more sophisticated than ours, and we currently don't have an accurate route for their rendezvous. If we fail to intercept their signal in the end, we will have to send out a large number of warships to patrol."
"Not enough boats?"
Chang Yin......
Teacher Kang......
It hurts, doesn't it?
However, Chang Yin admitted it. "Yes, we only have 19 sea vessels at the moment."
Tang Yue......
There's no point telling her this, she doesn't know how to build a boat. But, can we borrow some from other countries?
When Tang Yue thought of this, her heart began to leap with joy.
When Teacher Kang saw that the little girl became excited again, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Captain Tang, what are you thinking about?"
"Commander Kang, which country has the best ships right now?"
Teacher Kang......
Chang Yin......
Teacher Kang calmed himself down and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Tang Yue's eyes were innocent. "I'm just asking. Isn't it said that China's ships are inferior to theirs? Then shouldn't we learn from their technology or equipment? Otherwise, if we just work in isolation, how long will it take for us to build a ship suitable for our own country?"
The two looked at each other. The little girl said it lightly, but only the older generation of revolutionaries like Commander Kang understood how difficult it was to actually do it.
Commander Kang couldn't help but sigh, "How could it be that easy? With both the US and Russia imposing a technological blockade on our country, it's impossible to learn from them, let alone learn from them in kind.
We Chinese don't even have the qualifications to board their warships."
I can’t say it, it brings tears to my eyes.
Tang Yue could understand. After all, no one wanted their secrets to be known to others; it was normal. But was that the point of not doing it? That definitely wouldn't work.
"By the way, the guy you asked me to save last time was called Shao Yan? Is he okay? Didn't they say he could build a ship?"
Teacher Kang remained silent. Chang Yin explained, "He's recovered. He was clamoring to go back to work even before he was fully recovered. However, the materials we have to support shipbuilding are limited. Even if Mr. Shao has ideas and technology, he can't..."
"A good cook cannot cook without rice."
Chang Yin was helpless. The little girl's description was very accurate. Isn't this the situation in their country now?
"We don't have the same materials as the US. Can't we use other materials instead?"
She remembered that when the senior brothers and sisters in the sect were refining weapons, unless they were very advanced items, they could generally be replaced with something of the same standard.
"Well, they've been doing research there recently."
Tang Yue thought about it. She didn't know how to refine any difficult items, but she could still make a few simple ones. She wondered if she could help.
"Can I come over and take a look?"
Chang Yin and Master Kang exchanged a glance, and Master Kang nodded. "Then take her there tonight."
Tang Yue was a little excited. Ever since she had those guys in her head, she felt that she had become much more sensitive to mechanical things. Recently, she had also taken a lot of courses on communications, and Tang Yue really had a lot of ideas.
It was the same routine as before. Maybe they had been hiding for a while and the spies couldn't track them, so today's trip to the underground laboratory at the garbage station went unusually smoothly.
After Tang Yue came in, Chang Yin took her directly to Shao Yan's place.
"Is Dr. Li still here?"
Tang Yue remembered that she hadn't seen Dr. Li for a long time.
"He went back to the Northeast."
Tang Yue was surprised. "His medical skills are so good, why didn't you keep him?"
Chang Yin met Tang Yue's eyes, feeling helpless. They already had the little girl in South Island, so why would they need another doctor?
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
