As he spoke, Gao Yun became unconsciously excited, his face radiating a glow as if he had personally experienced it, his eyes particularly sparkling.
This was, of course, a normal reaction. As a corps commander, he had witnessed countless naval battles, but this was the first time he had personally seen someone initiate combat with torpedoes, directly sinking an enemy submarine and eliminating their chance to attack while also giving everyone else a chance to survive.
The entire process was incredibly spectacular.
When Qin Feng fired the first torpedo, it seemed he had already calculated the opponent's evasion route. With just two shots, he had effectively cut off their escape, leading to their ultimate demise, blown to pieces and leaving no remains. Such an achievement was nothing short of a miracle.
This Qin Feng didn't seem like a soldier from the army at all. His naval combat prowess far surpassed that of the navy by several times. He was truly meant for the navy, not only familiar with the battlefield but also able to predict the enemy's psychology of evasion, thus turning defeat into victory. It could be said that very few people in the world could do what he did.
To be able to fight a life-or-death naval battle so effortlessly was likely something only he could achieve.
Gao Yun stared intently at Qin Feng, his eyes filled with excitement and admiration.
To be honest, as a veteran soldier, he himself wouldn't dare attempt such precise strikes. The difficulty was immense, involving prediction, psychological warfare, and extreme confidence. The entire process was a significant test of a person's mental fortitude.
After all, the lives of so many people on the warship were tied to the accuracy of the attacks. Any slight mistake would lead to utter ruin, and everyone would perish.
This was playing with one's heart, their very lifeblood, who dared to treat it lightly?
To think that Qin Feng could make such precise judgments so calmly under such immense pressure – what had he experienced to possess such a mindset and to strike with such confidence, certainty, and decisiveness?
Thinking about it, Qin Feng found it almost impossible to comprehend, yet the more incomprehensible it was, the more he wanted to understand Qin Feng, and the more magical Qin Feng seemed.
Finally, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Do you think it was just simple good luck? To be honest, we've considered that possibility before, but we've never hit anything. Since then, no one has dared to play like that. You're truly amazing!"
Hearing Captain Gao Yun's words, Qin Feng looked helpless.
He had been seen through. It seemed that being too outstanding was also a trouble.
However, to be honest, such an operation was indeed difficult to master, as it entirely involved guessing the opponent's psychological state. Moreover, his success was mainly due to the system's skills, which indeed gave him great confidence.
But this was a matter of the system, and he couldn't easily explain it.
Seeing Qin Feng fall silent, Captain Gao Yun continued to persuade him, "The strength or weakness of our nation doesn't begin with the army, but rather with the navy. For so many years, we've gritted our teeth, endured humiliation, and bent our spines to reach this day. Naval warfare has always been our most crucial battlefield, it was in the past, and it will be in the future."
"Brother, if you want to go further, consider joining the navy. Sink a few more submarines, and let your luck shine..."
Hearing Captain Gao Yun's words, Qin Feng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Damn it! Let my luck shine...
At this moment, Qin Feng almost felt like cursing. He truly hadn't expected Captain Gao Yun to be such a flatterer. He was utterly exaggerating, even bringing it up to the level of the nation and its people. This was playing the long game.
If it were a young man like He Chenguang, they might have agreed immediately. But as for himself, his mind was firm and unyielding!
Listening to Captain Gao Yun's eloquent temptations, Qin Feng shook his head. He couldn't deny that Captain Gao Yun was a natural orator, and what he said wasn't wrong.
More than a hundred years ago, Yan Guo had naval battles, and naval warfare had always occupied a crucial position in the nation's stability. However, no matter how much Captain Gao bragged, or how good the navy was, Qin Feng absolutely would not give up land combat to join the navy.
The reason was simple: the mere thought of constantly drifting at sea made him seasick.
Furthermore, the navy was a completely unfamiliar domain. Though it wouldn't be difficult to learn if he truly wanted to, the key was that he wasn't interested in naval warfare.
Fighting at sea wasn't as exhilarating as galloping on land. Moreover, he heard that naval missions had very long durations, with the shortest being one to two months, often half a year to a year, and sometimes even several years.
With such long deployments, how could he find a girlfriend? Although finding a partner in his profession was indeed a burden on the other person, it wasn't impossible to consider.
Thinking this, Qin Feng's interest in the navy further waned.
Just as Qin Feng was about to refuse, Gao Yun, seeing Qin Feng's lack of enthusiasm, spoke first, "There's no rush to answer this. I was just casually suggesting it."
Gao Yun said this out of necessity. He didn't want to be outright rejected by Qin Feng. He probably understood some of the reasons why Qin Feng wouldn't want to join the navy, but Qin Feng was also skilled in naval combat, and in the army, such strength and status would be readily attainable. It was normal for him not to want to join the navy.
Therefore, his previous words were just a trial, planting a seed in Qin Feng's mind. Perhaps Qin Feng would take it to heart. What if?
However, Gao Yun didn't hold out much hope internally, but he was still unwilling to give up.
Hearing Captain Gao Yun's words, Qin Feng said nothing more, but his mind drifted to other matters.
Seeing Qin Feng fall silent, Gao Yun ordered the next second, " Helmsman, set sail immediately, full speed ahead."
"Yes!"
Whirr...
Under the helmsman's control, the warship sped towards the motherland's ports at its fastest speed.
About two hours later, their warship had almost returned to the motherland's territorial waters.
When the people on the warship saw the port, the weight on their hearts finally lifted, and they were all excited.
"I never thought we'd actually return home safely."
"Yes, I really didn't expect we could leave such a battlefield alive and return to the embrace of our motherland."
"I can't even imagine what we just went through."
"To be honest, I was constantly afraid that enemy submarines would pursue us on the open sea just now."
"Yes, if another submarine had come, we would have been in trouble."
