"Not you," Yang Xiaoyou said, nudging her father with her elbow as they heard the armored vehicle come to a stop in an open area, her expression one of curiosity.
She knew that her parents had considerable capabilities; they must have been quite well-known in the military back in the day.
However, no matter how impressive they were, they were not high-ranking commanders like Mo Wenfu. Among their peers, her father was merely the company commander of a reconnaissance unit, a role that was essentially that of a frontline soldier, often seen as cannon fodder.
Yet, this so-called cannon fodder was well-known among the Border Guard Soldiers of the Northwest Military District, which seemed to indicate he had done quite well for himself.
"Well, it’s not just me; it’s thanks to our entire unit," Yang Kai said modestly, though a hint of pride and nostalgia lingered on his face.
Regardless of whether he benefited from the unit's reputation, his ability to become the commander of this special unit was undeniable; he had climbed up through sheer talent and hard work.
Yang Xiaoyou and Liu Lianyue exchanged glances, somewhat speechless. If nothing unexpected had happened, their unit's achievements should have been quite impressive. It was precisely because of those accomplishments that when her father revealed his identity, the others believed that this armored vehicle might have been directly commandeered.
Although it felt a bit like stealing Yang Xiao's thunder, Yang Kai’s intervention was clearly meant to protect him.
After chatting for a while inside the vehicle, a military off-road vehicle appeared in their line of sight from above. It made a sharp turn and stopped in front of the armored vehicle. Two soldiers dressed in camouflage military uniforms jumped down.
Upon seeing the armored vehicle, they whistled in admiration.
When it came to heavy armored units, the Army of the Chinese Empire was undoubtedly among the best in the world. However, vehicles like the 'Mighty Hound,' with their comprehensive capabilities in command and electronics, were particularly eye-catching.
As figures began to descend from the armored vehicle, the two soldiers briefly scanned their surroundings before focusing on Yang Kai. One of them, a Sergeant, saluted and smiled as he spoke.
"Senior, you truly are as sharp as ever! You managed to seize an armored vehicle from the British Army and successfully reach the border under such conditions. Since I enlisted, I've often heard stories about your legendary unit from my seniors in the barracks. Haha! I never expected to meet one of you in person today—especially a former company commander. Now I have something to brag about."
Although he had already retired, Yang Kai returned the salute formally.
"By the way, we still need to go through some procedures. May I ask which term you served as company commander and your name?" asked a Private Second Class who had stepped forward with a notebook in hand, seemingly ready to take notes.
"From '87 to '91. Yang Kai, that was during the later stages of the war, right?" At this moment, Yang Kai naturally did not make things difficult for the two soldiers and responded quite readily.
The two soldiers couldn't help but change their expressions again. Although it was the later stage of the war, it was clear that the other party had been promoted to company commander based on his military achievements during the war. Initially, they thought he was just another figure from the peaceful times that followed, but they didn't expect to encounter someone of such a formidable level.
"Hehe, Senior Yang, you can't leave so quickly now that you're here. We won't let you go until you share some stories about your exploits with us. We've only heard about them from the veterans in the barracks before; hearing it from you directly will surely be much more impressive. Oh, by the way, this vehicle..." The sergeant said with a grin after assessing the situation. However, upon looking at the armored vehicle, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
Under normal circumstances, they would definitely 'confiscate' it and wouldn't allow it to enter their territory. But now that they knew his identity, they felt a bit embarrassed to bring it up.
"Haha, I certainly won't make things difficult for you. You can keep this thing for yourselves; I've already retired, and giving it to you might even earn you some military merit," Yang Kai said with a bold and cheerful tone, which made Yang Xiaoyou beside him feel somewhat resentful.
This was something he had worked hard to acquire, yet it was just given away like that.
Thanks to the presence of this hero among the grassroots soldiers, even with a Brit entering their territory, everything proceeded relatively smoothly.
Additionally, Yang Kai reminded the border station about the scale of viral infections in India. Although the mountainous terrain here is considered perilous, there still remains a risk of sporadic infected entities or advanced infected appearing.
Upon hearing warnings from someone who had personally experienced the situation in India, this border station took it very seriously and even sent an urgent telegram reporting up the chain to notify all frontline border stations.
Even though the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, such possibilities cannot be ignored.
After keeping them for one night, the border station ultimately had important duties and did not insist on retaining them any longer. They specifically arranged for a vehicle to take them to Lhasa.
As for what to do when they needed a vehicle for themselves later?
Of course, they would just use that 'confiscated' armored vehicle to fill in.
Along the way, Yang Xiaoyou found himself facing another issue: Liu Lianyue seemed increasingly suspicious and insisted on contacting their leader first. Yang Xiaoyou used various excuses to delay her.
After all, he had initially tricked her into leaving using some unique methods of his own, and this older sister's guard against him was relatively low at that time.
Once the tense moment passed, doubts began to creep into Yang Xiaoyou's mind, leaving her feeling somewhat exhausted in her attempts to handle the situation.
At first, she hadn't prepared a solid excuse; she even considered knocking someone out and taking them away. Now, the difficulty of maintaining a lie had naturally increased.
She could only keep shifting the other person's attention.
"By the way, since you seem so interested in the operation of that armored vehicle, are you also quite interested in Aspects?" After being questioned again, Yang Xiaoyou swiftly changed the topic.
"I am a bit, but I don't really have many opportunities," Liu Lianyue replied. Compared to ordinary girls who liked flowers and plants, her interests were quite unique; she was fascinated by those steel behemoths.
"Well, our company is considering some personnel exchanges with your Radicals. I wonder if you're interested?" After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaoyou continued along this line of conversation. It seemed like keeping this person in the dark for a while before slowly extracting her from that whirlpool might not be a bad idea.
Moreover, Liu Lianyue's abilities were indeed impressive.
"Exchange? Why exchange? What do you want me to do?" Liu Lianyue seemed somewhat puzzled by Yang Xiaoyou's sudden proposal and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The Chinese Empire has announced that they have obtained the Anti-Lock System and have also launched a pre-prepared experimental machine. As partners in cooperation, we also need to conduct some adjustments. Are you interested in piloting mechs?" After the Chinese Empire and HLI began to take turns attracting Firepower, Hive Security Company now appeared much more low-key.
Yet only Yang Xiaoyou understood that if they wanted to, Hive Security Company could be the first to present practical mechs.
