The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

Zeng Long's voice became clear and calm:

I have already made secret contact with the supreme military commanders of countries C and D in the Middle East.

Before the operation begins, they will completely shut down key mid-sections and transmission gates of the natural gas pipeline!

Cut off the natural gas supply at the source!

"Then, they will provide us with the best, controllable coordinates of the blasting point based on the pipeline structure and terrain."

Meanwhile, I had already arranged for trusted mercenaries skilled in demolition to infiltrate the core of the anti-government forces as "freedom fighters."

At the start of the operation, government forces and "anti-government forces" will engage in an "extremely fierce" firefight at the designated demolition points!

This firefight will create the illusion of "heavy casualties on both sides".

"Finally, our own infiltrated demolition experts, disguised as anti-government forces, used heavy firepower (such as rocket launchers, mortars, and remote-controlled candy bombs) to 'bombard and blow up' the natural gas pipeline!"

His cold smile widened:

"On the surface, the scene would appear to be filled with thick smoke, and the pipes would seem riddled with holes—a truly horrific sight. The news footage would be incredibly impactful! But in reality..."

Zeng Long's voice carried a hint of cold precision:

The pipe was simply blown open with a few large, calculated cuts that appeared serious but were actually easy to repair!

As for natural gas leaks and environmental disasters? Absolutely not!

Because the source has already been shut down!

The so-called "natural gas" leak at the scene was just a small amount of harmless smoke agent and flammable gas mixture prepared in advance to create a visual and olfactory effect!

As he spoke, Zeng Long exuded a chilling killing intent, his eyes sharp as a hawk's.

My goal is to let all media outlets and people around the world see and hear this for themselves.

The vital energy artery from the Middle East to Europe has been "completely destroyed" by anti-government forces backed by certain Western powers!

What I need to do then is assist the government forces of Country C and Country D in launching a devastating attack on this group of "heinous" anti-government forces!

Wipe them off the face of the earth completely and cleanly! This will solve the long-standing civil war that has plagued these two countries for years!

His words struck like a war drum in the hearts of Old Liu and Li Weiguo:

At that time, the legitimate governments of these two countries will, through the formal form of their foreign ministries, "urgently request" our Dragon Kingdom to dispatch professional engineering troops as soon as possible to help them "repair" the "severely damaged" natural gas pipelines!

They have officially authorized us to send peacekeeping troops to assist them in "completely eliminating any remaining unstable factors within the country" and "protecting" the "absolute security" of the energy lifeline that is vital to the livelihoods of the European people!

Zeng Long turned around, his gaze sweeping over Liu Lao and Li Weiguo, who were already dumbfounded, his tone filled with absolute confidence:

At this point, no country, not even those Western powers with ulterior motives, would have any reason or dare to say a bad word about our Dragon Country!

Because we were invited by a legitimate government! We are there to maintain regional stability!

We are here to help the people of Europe solve the energy crisis! We are on the side of justice!

Even in the eyes of those Europeans who are about to suffer in the cold, we are the saviors who bring help in their time of need!

He depicted the final picture:

You can imagine that our engineering troops miraculously repaired the severely damaged pipeline in an incredibly short time, a feat they could hardly have imagined!

When warm natural gas flows back into European homes, ensuring their daily lives are once again secure...

What kind of heartfelt enthusiasm and gratitude would that be? How much would our Dragon Nation's international image be enhanced?

"..."

A deathly silence fell over the office.

Old Liu and Li Weiguo seemed to be frozen in place by a spell.

The expressions on their faces were extremely complex, ranging from initial rage to surprise and doubt, and finally to utter shock!

It was like riding an emotional rollercoaster, being thrown from an ice cellar into boiling lava, fiercely burning their weathered but still beating hearts for the country!

Li Weiguo was the first to recover from the overwhelming information overload.

His stiff body twitched slightly, his dry lips moved a few times, and finally he turned his incredibly complex gaze to Zeng Long, his voice tinged with a hint of hoarseness and understanding:

"So...so the international natural gas futures market will definitely be thrown into extreme panic after the news of the pipeline being 'bombed' comes out, and prices will...skyrocket, right?"

He stared intently at Zeng Long, as if trying to see right through him:

And then... you, Zeng Long, and your Longyu Company will gain unprecedented trust and status in these two countries because of your "outstanding contributions" and "savior-like" image in this incident!

Because you not only "assisted" them in resolving the civil war and achieving peaceful reunification, but also "generously" helped them with post-war reconstruction free of charge and without charging a single penny!

Your company will enjoy a safe, unified, and exceptionally favorable investment environment in both countries!

You… At this point, Li Weiguo really wanted to open Zeng Long’s head right then and there to see what was inside, and why he could calculate human nature, international situation, and capital operations so meticulously and seamlessly, it was terrifying!

At this point, General Liu finally fully digested this massive, meticulous, and audacious plan.

He abruptly raised his head, taking over Li Weiguo's words. His voice trembled slightly with excitement, but his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, filled with unparalleled exhilaration and pride.

"The most...most crucial thing is!" Old Liu's voice boomed like a bell, echoing throughout the office.

"An engineering force dispatched by the nation, representing the image and technology of the Dragon Kingdom, and a peacekeeping force defending peace! They will earn the heartfelt respect and gratitude of people in Europe and around the world through their actions!"

He waved his arms vigorously, as if he could already see that scene.

Our nation's prestige! Our nation's international image and voice! Will gain widespread recognition and respect globally through this opportunity!

Because at that time, an impression will be imprinted in the minds of people all over the world—

China is a responsible, capable, technologically advanced, and benevolent nation! It is a trustworthy partner!

The old general's eyes even welled up with tears, and his voice was firm and filled with immense pride.

And when our own people see our country so powerful, so proud on the international stage, practicing the ideals of peaceful rise and benefiting the world—

To what unprecedented heights will their national pride, their sense of national identity, and their sense of belonging be elevated?! This...this is truly priceless!

Silence fell once more in the office. But this time, it wasn't a silence of doubt or shock, but an inspiring silence filled with grand visions and surging passion.

The way Liu Lao and Li Weiguo looked at Zeng Long had completely changed.

There was no more doubt, only immense shock, indescribable admiration, and a sense of excitement and determination to participate in creating history.

Zeng Long stood before the map, his figure seemingly merging with the map symbolizing the world order under the watchful eyes of the two pillars of the Republic. His strategy was no longer merely a commercial game, but rather… a strategy for national strength!
