The so-called Three Kingdoms military competition, broadcast globally, turned into a personal performance by the Chinese military, leaving them utterly ashamed.

Tang Ming returned to the Chinese delegation with a calm expression, only to find that the head of headquarters was giving him a strange look.

After the entire Chinese delegation returned to their residences, the words of the headquarters leader made Tang Ming fall into deep thought.

Just now, Tang Ming seemingly easily defeated Yin Zhengkai from Country H and three contestants from Country M.

In fact, Tang Ming was indeed quite relaxed.

While inspecting the firearms and ammunition, Tang Ming discovered that his communication helmet had a back door, allowing H country players and M country garrison players to easily obtain his location.

Moreover, Tang Ming's gun had been secretly tampered with, and it would be unusable after firing a maximum of 10 bullets, as would the sniper rifle.

But Tang Ming didn't say a word in the face of these unfair conditions.

In the face of absolute strength, all fancy techniques are worthless.

Iron Man's data analysis skills, Hawkeye's shooting assistance, and Iron Man's firearms proficiency all allowed Tang Ming to inadvertently use his communication helmet to obtain the locations of the H country's contestants and the M country's garrison contestants.

As for the hidden damage inside the sniper rifle and assault rifle, Tang Ming's firearms skills allowed him to easily fix it with a couple of quick touches.

After obtaining the enemy's location, Tang Ming was able to quickly analyze the various states of all enemies as they moved forward and their next landing point by combining Eagle Eye and data analysis skills.

With his superb marksmanship, it's no wonder he can take down enemies in one go!

Also because the H country's military tampered with the firearms, ammunition, and equipment used in the competition, they dared not order an inspection of the equipment.

Moreover.

While the living Yin Zhengkai is undoubtedly a rare talent for the H country's military, the dead body is another matter entirely.

The same applies to the M country's garrison athletes.

The M country's garrison leader, who was observing the battle, was initially very angry. However, at that moment, the H country's military leader greeted him, and the two quickly left.

After this battle, viewers in Country H, now using live streaming apps, are online hurling insults and curses at everything in sight.

In contrast, the Chinese audience was beaming with joy.

Against the backdrop of years of dormancy, China's achievement of such a major victory, and the imminent return of the remains of soldiers from that war decades ago, can be described as a double celebration.

The news that a mysterious Chinese special forces soldier won the championship in a military competition among three countries in H country immediately became a trending topic on major Chinese social media platforms.

"You really went too far this time!"

After the headquarters leader called Tang Ming aside, he felt a terrible headache coming on.

Compared to the headquarters leaders, Tang Ming appeared remarkably calm: "Reporting to the leader, I actually think your thinking is rather conservative!"

"Conservative?" The headquarters chief sneered. "Do you know that Country R has dispatched a special forces unit to Country H, and their target is you!"

Tang Ming didn't take it seriously: "Hehe, they're just little R turtles. I'll kill them one by one, and if a whole team comes, I'll make them come in upright and go back horizontally!"

"It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but the timing is too sensitive!" The headquarters chief said bitterly, "Have you considered what the consequences would be if those guys from Country R, ​​posing as criminals, launched a surprise attack on us while we're welcoming the remains of our fallen soldiers back home?"

"What consequences? They attacked first, so naturally we must retaliate firmly!" Tang Ming said without hesitation, "We don't provoke trouble, but we're not afraid of it either!"

"Have you considered that H country might use this opportunity to terminate the agreement between the two countries regarding the repatriation of the remains?"

"This……"

Tang Ming understood the headquarters leader's concerns almost instantly!

China has spent decades and consumed a great deal of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to bring the remains of these soldiers back to China. It is absolutely unacceptable for all our efforts to be in vain at this point!

Almost simultaneously, Tang Ming recalled the advice his staff had given his superior: "So, am I going to be sacrificed?"

Faced with Tang Ming's seemingly overstepping authority in questioning, the headquarters leader remained remarkably composed: "I can answer you honestly. I did have this plan at first, but I later abandoned it!"

"Throughout the history of our Chinese nation, countless key moments and numerous great figures have made choices and judgments. In short, it all boils down to four words: weighing the pros and cons!"

"In order to recuperate and rebuild, our great Han Dynasty chose to form an alliance with the Xiongnu tribe through marriage!"

"For the sake of peace along the coast, even a celestial empire would compromise with island nations at sea!"

"In pursuit of an extravagant lifestyle, the last feudal dynasty signed countless unequal treaties!"

"Decisions made after weighing the pros and cons have sometimes proven to be correct and sometimes to be wrong. After summarizing the vast majority of examples, I finally came to a conclusion!"

"No matter how critical the moment, even if it is of great benefit to the nation and the people, we must never decide to sacrifice the life of any Chinese soldier or even an ordinary Chinese citizen!"

"Life is priceless! If we can compromise today and tacitly accept your sacrifice for the country, then tomorrow we might accept 10 people, the day after tomorrow 100 people, the day after that 1000 people, until finally all the silent majority are sacrificed!"

"One day, the country will cease to be a country!"

The headquarters leader said firmly, "So even if our plan to bring the remains of our ancestors back home has to be interrupted, even if all of us in our mission sacrifice ourselves in a foreign land, we will absolutely not allow anyone to endanger your safety before we become corpses!"

"I did these things not because you are a hero of the military or a hero of our China, but simply because you are a qualified, even outstanding, Chinese citizen!"

"I have already requested assistance from the country..."

Before the headquarters commander could finish speaking, Tang Ming rudely interrupted him: "Reporting to the commander, you don't need to continue. Leave this matter to me!"

"We will summon all intelligence personnel currently on missions in H country..." The headquarters chief was about to continue speaking, but was stunned by Tang Ming's answer.

However, upon closer reflection, it is not surprising at all!

Tang Ming was an extremely proud Chinese soldier, and he would never allow the remains of those soldiers buried in foreign lands to be unable to return home because of his own reasons!

Again.

You treat me with the respect due to a national hero, so I should repay you with the same respect!

Have you really made a decision?

The headquarters leader's expression was very complicated, with a hint of something he wanted to say but hesitated.

"Commander, you don't need to persuade me anymore!" Tang Ming showed no sign of backing down, his eyes flashing with intense fighting spirit: "Since these guys who are living a pretty good life don't want to live their good life anymore, then let's grant them their wish!"

"Think carefully! This is in H country. Because of today's competition, the H country military will most likely not only not help you, but may even kick you when you're down!"

"Don't worry, sir, I've thought it through!" Tang Ming said with rare enthusiasm, "Let the storm rage on!"

The originally daunting problem was easily solved by Tang Ming, but the headquarters leaders did not feel particularly happy.

Although Tang Ming is very strong, in H country, he can be said to be an enemy of the whole world, and his chances of survival are extremely slim!

The headquarters chief really didn't want Tang Ming to take any risks, but when Tang Ming volunteered time and again to try to attract the attention of R and H countries and ensure the smooth repatriation of the soldiers' remains, the headquarters chief finally hesitated!

From a broader perspective, Tang Ming's decision is the best outcome for the entire Chinese delegation.

From an emotional perspective, the headquarters leaders were all too aware of the significance of bringing back the remains of these Chinese soldiers to the entire nation!

"Please rest assured, sir. Although this is an away game, those guys who are living comfortably are still too green to take my life!"

The headquarters chief just received the latest intelligence, and knows that the mastermind behind the development of the special virus on Alcatraz is Country R.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I disrupted their apostle plan, so it's only natural that I would face their retaliation!"

Even so, the head of headquarters still looked at Tang Ming with a hint of regret in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, Tang Ming was being targeted by two countries at this point. No matter how strong an individual was, he would eventually be exhausted in the face of the enemy's overwhelming numbers.

"Don't worry, as soon as our flight to pick up the remains of the soldiers takes off, I will immediately ask China to put pressure on Country H. No need, just make sure your personal safety is guaranteed!"

"Thank you for your concern, sir! I will definitely support you until then!"

Tang Ming nodded heavily: "I'm entrusting the matter of bringing the remains of our military predecessors back to China to you!"

"Don't worry about that! As long as Country H doesn't interfere, according to the existing agreement between the two countries, all the remains of the first batch of veterans will be successfully returned to their homeland!"

The headquarters chief's expression was grave: "Also, all our intelligence personnel in the capital of H country have been summoned. They will all gather and move towards you. The code for the rendezvous is on the paper!"

Tang Ming took the paper handed to him by the headquarters leader, and upon seeing the four characters on it, his expression turned solemn!

Although he knew that he might not need these intelligence agents lurking in the capital of H country, and that they might not be able to react in time.

But this is the heartfelt sentiment of the headquarters leaders and the motherland towards him, and their deep concern for a son fighting in a foreign land!

"Reporting, sir! I'm off to carry out my mission!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

Watching Tang Mingyuan's departing figure, the headquarters leader clenched his fists tightly!

"China is still not strong enough!"

If China were strong enough, even if it bullied H and R countries, how could they dare to openly provoke it or even launch retaliatory attacks!

But this precious period of development opportunity is extremely important for China to grow and thrive!

Tang Ming was not the only one who sacrificed himself for this!

"Tang Ming, good luck!"

Softly muttering to himself, the headquarters leader shook off the unrealistic fantasies in his mind and focused all his attention on the next step: the repatriation of the remains of the Chinese military predecessors.

Although the two countries have reached a preliminary agreement on how to arrange for the repatriation of the remains, there are still many things that need to be clarified in the specific implementation.

As the headquarters serving as the commander-in-chief for welcoming the remains of our Chinese military predecessors back to China, we still have many tasks ahead of us.

After leaving the Chinese delegation's residence, Tang Ming walked on the streets of the capital of H country in civilian clothes. Since enlisting, he had been abroad several times, but always on missions. He had never been as relaxed as he was today.

As Tang Ming left the Chinese delegation's residence, he soon noticed that at least four staff members from Country H were following and monitoring him.

This afternoon, the remains of soldiers who died in the foreign land of H country decades ago will be loaded onto the plane. Once the special plane takes off and leaves the airspace of H country, it will be escorted by Chinese fighter jets.

Even if H country and R country regret it by then, it will be too late!

What Tang Ming wanted to gain was this brief window of opportunity!

Despite facing a formidable enemy, Tang Ming felt more relaxed than ever before.

Although he had a heart-to-heart talk with the headquarters leader just now and told almost all the truths, he remained tight-lipped about his own abilities.

The headquarters leaders didn't ask either.

Another point that Tang Ming deliberately avoided was that he himself wanted the battle to continue on the soil of H country, rather than after returning to China!

Now that R country has discovered what he did on Devil Island, their retaliation will be fierce and torrential. If these heartless R country guys go to China to retaliate against Tang Ming, one can imagine how much harm they will cause to innocent people.

This is not the case in country H.

If the high-ranking leaders of the H country's military have tacitly approved of R country sending troops to H country to target Tang Ming, then they must be prepared to invite trouble upon themselves!
