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

In the Middle East, deep in the vast desert where countries C and D meet.

The sky, once engulfed by flames and thick smoke from an explosion, is now replaced by a blazing sun and rising fine dust.

The area, once twisted and fractured like scars on the earth, is now covered by a forest of steel and surging crowds.

Two giant natural gas pipelines, which carry the warmth of countless European families and the lifeline of industry, are undergoing an epic repair operation on their most severely damaged core sections.

Four reinforced engineering corps from the Dragon Kingdom, like a tireless steel torrent, raced against time and fought against the harsh environment, and have been working continuously for five days and five nights without stopping, day or night!

Looking out, the huge cranes resembled ancient Titans, swinging their steel arms to precisely lift and install prefabricated sections of brand-new pipes weighing several tons.

The engineers and technicians, dressed in uniform and covered in oil and sweat, moved busily through the complex pipe corridors and foundation pits like swarms of worker ants.

The blue arcs of electricity emitted by the welding torch, like the light of life, leap and flicker between the gaps in the steel, emitting a dazzling yet rhythmic light.

The roar of heavy machinery, the clanging of metal, and the short, powerful commands from the commanders through loudspeakers intertwine to create a magnificent and powerful symphony of labor, full of strength and hope.

There is no smoke of gunpowder here, but the tension and intensity are comparable to a battlefield;

There are no enemies here, but there is the hardship of fighting against time, nature, and the limits of technology.

Every face was etched with weariness, carved by the wind and sand, and soaked with sweat, but their eyes were like boulders in the desert, firm and focused, shining with an unquestionable sense of mission and an iron will.

With their sweat, drop by drop, they healed the "scars" on this land, and with their own hands, inch by inch, they rebuilt the lifeline of energy.

The official Chinese journalists stationed at the scene had already pointed their cameras at the land where this miracle was born.

High-definition images are transmitted in real time to households around the world via satellite signals.

At this moment, these images are being simultaneously transmitted to the solemn and dignified press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China, thousands of miles away.

The press conference hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dragon Kingdom was now completely submerged by the crowd.

Journalists from major news organizations around the world, like sharks smelling blood, frantically scrambled for every possible foothold.

Cameras of all sizes and microphones, along with countless recorders and microphones, were set up like a jungle!

Every pair of eyes was fixed on the empty podium ahead, filled with the keenness, excitement, and a sense of unease characteristic of journalists.

Today, a groundbreaking news story that will shake the world will be born here!

The air was heavy and scorching, as if a single spark could ignite it.

Finally, the side door opened, and the spokesperson for the Dragon Kingdom walked with steady and powerful steps to the center of the podium.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with a resolute face and sharp eyes, slowly sweeping over the dark mass of people below the stage.

That invisible aura of authority instantly silenced the noisy scene.

All the reporters held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on him.

The spokesperson, without any unnecessary formalities, wore a calm and confident smile and got straight to the point. His voice was loud and clear, carrying throughout the hall and reaching the world connected simultaneously.

Hello, fellow journalists.

Today's press conference will be a grand event to witness miracles, a grand event to showcase the spirit of the Chinese people in times of crisis—charging forward, selflessly and fearlessly, and living up to their responsibilities!

This is yet another powerful demonstration of China's commitment to fulfilling its international obligations and demonstrating its responsibility as a major power!

His eyes gleamed with pride and excitement as he surveyed the room once more, his tone leaving no room for argument:

"Today, there will be no Q&A session. Because I believe that everyone here will witness and hear firsthand the answers to all your questions during the upcoming live broadcast!"

He paused slightly, took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly rose, filled with irrepressible excitement, like the beating of war drums:

"Now, I solemnly announce—"

"In countries C and D in the Middle East, two major natural gas pipelines to Europe, which were severely damaged by terrorist bombings, were repaired by four reinforced engineering corps dispatched by our country, who worked day and night with superb skills, tenacious will, and astonishing efficiency."

"Today! Right now—!"

"The repairs are now basically complete!"

"What?!"

Boom! It was like a thunderclap exploding in their minds! The reporters below the stage were instantly speechless, their minds seemingly blank for a moment, their faces filled with extreme shock and disbelief!

Five days! Just five days! Repairing two severely damaged transnational energy arteries? This is simply unbelievable! It's a miracle speed that only exists in mythology!

However, their professional instincts and the spokesperson's resolute attitude left them no room for further questioning.

After a brief period of silence, an action erupted like a volcanic eruption!

Almost simultaneously, all the reporters lowered their heads, their fingers flying across their laptops, phones, and tablets, sending out this earth-shattering news that could ignite the world as quickly as possible!

The sound of keyboard clicks filled the entire press conference hall like a sudden downpour.

"So..." The spokesperson's voice rang out again, this time with a clear, discernible tremor from excitement, which added to the authenticity and persuasiveness of his words!

"Today is a moment to witness a miracle! These two vital energy lifelines, which are essential for the warmth and livelihoods of countless people, are about to complete the final and most crucial section of their pipeline connection!"

He turned to the side, pointing with his arm to the large electronic screen behind him that lit up instantly: "Look at the big screen!"

The screen switched instantly, splitting into two images.

The footage shows the spectacular construction site in the Middle Eastern desert.

Two smart and capable female reporters from China, dressed in dustproof suits, stood in front of two different work sites!

Behind them stood massive hoisting equipment, towering like giants!

Suspended beneath the enormous hook was the final section of the massive, gleaming silver pipe assembly, which shone brightly in the desert sun.

"This is the final connection of the pipeline!" The spokesperson's voice came through the screen, filled with solemnity and a sense of mission:

"It connects not just cold steel, but also the warmth and security of countless European families, the driving force behind the operation of countless factories, and friendship and hope that transcend continents!"

At this moment, all the reporters at the press conference had unconsciously stood up, staring intently at the big screen, their hearts pounding wildly as if they were about to burst out of their chests.

They instinctively covered their mouths, afraid of making the slightest sound and disturbing this historic moment.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world in Europe, countless people, whether in bustling cities or quiet towns, are glued to their television, computer, or mobile phone screens.

The elderly people clutched the crosses to their chests tightly, tears welling in their cloudy eyes, their lips moving as they prayed silently.

The young couples held each other's hands tightly, their nails almost digging into their flesh, holding their breath, their eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness;

The innocent and carefree children seemed to sense the solemnity as well, opening their clear eyes wide and silently praying, just like the adults.

The entire European continent seemed to fall silent at that moment, with countless hearts hanging in suspense, awaiting the final judgment.

At the press conference, the spokesperson stood to the side of the screen, his posture as straight as a javelin.

His gaze was piercing as he stared at the two reporters on the screen. With an unwavering voice, filled with the excitement and power of dawn, he issued his final command to the construction site thousands of miles away, and to the entire world:

"The final section—pipe connection—"

"Now...begin!!!"

On the screen, the two female reporters quickly moved aside.

The next moment, the two enormous cranes emitted an even deeper and more powerful roar...

The massive crane began to manipulate the last section of pipe with astonishing stability and precision, moving slowly and steadily toward the final gap in the pipe break, much like a surgical operation.

Every movement was magnified by the camera and transmitted to every corner of the world.

The commander waved the signal flag, and the engineers carried out the final calibration and fixing in a tense but orderly manner... Time passed by second by second, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of tension.

An hour felt like an eternity.

When the last welding arc went out, when the last bolt was tightened, when all the data indicator lights on the monitoring instrument turned from red to green...

At the press conference, the spokesperson quickly returned to the center of the stage, a proud and gratified smile spreading across his face, his eyes sharp yet warm.

He took a deep breath and declared to the world in a clear and fervent voice:

"I hereby announce that the repair work on the Middle East-to-Europe natural gas pipeline has been successfully and completely completed! Natural gas transmission is expected to be fully restored within the next 48 hours!"

"Whoosh—!!!"

Like a dam breaking, like a tsunami surging forth! The press conference venue erupted in thunderous, long-lasting applause!

All the journalists, regardless of nationality or stance, couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically at that moment, their faces filled with shock, admiration, and excitement!

This is a tribute to the miracles of human industrialization, a tribute to the fearless spirit of the Chinese engineering corps, and a celebration of the return of hope and warmth to the world!

In Europe, this announcement was like the tolling of festive bells, instantly igniting the entire continent!

The elderly people, tears streaming down their faces, tightly embraced their families, murmuring repeatedly:

"God... no, the angels of the East! The Dragon Kingdom! They are the true saviors!"

The young people erupted in thunderous cheers, rushing out of their homes to greet their friends and neighbors...

Strangers were even embracing tightly, and the streets were instantly filled with a sense of euphoria and celebration, as if they had survived a catastrophe. The bars were filled with cheerful music and the sound of clinking glasses.

Although the children didn't fully understand what was happening, they could sense the adults' joy!

They found a small Chinese flag somewhere and waved it happily inside the house and on the street, running around with their innocent laughter like the most beautiful music.

As the Chinese engineering corps, having completed its mission, slowly took off from the airport aboard ten giant transport planes—

As I embarked on my journey home, the area outside the airport was filled with people who had come to see me off. They waved their arms, tears welling in their eyes, and shouted their gratitude in various languages.

Countless people, in different cities and different villages, all look eastward, towards the land where miracles were born.

Their eyes were devout, their hearts filled with boundless gratitude:

"You are messengers who bring light..."

"May you have a safe journey, heroes..."

"China...this is a responsible, principled nation, worthy of the world's respect!"

"May such a nation prosper forever, and may its people be blessed..."

The steel backbone supports the warm dawn that crosses the continent.

At this moment, the name of the Dragon Kingdom, along with miracles, responsibility, and hope, is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the world.
