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

As the plane carrying Team Zero sliced ​​through the clouds—

As we flew towards the United States!

The global news media has descended into an unprecedented frenzy.

1 a.m. Middle East time —

CNN was the first to report on this mysterious military operation as breaking news.

"incredible!"

CNN's chief news anchor James Anderson nearly lost his composure during a live broadcast:

"The satellite images we just obtained show that a terrorist base in a Middle Eastern country was completely destroyed in five minutes."

"The ones carrying out this mission were actually two legendary pro-military organizations—"

"Hellfire and Squad Zero!"

The BBC's headline was even more sensational:

"The Perfect Storm in the Military World: Five Minutes That Changed the Landscape of the War on Terror."

The report included a detailed analysis of satellite images comparing the base before and after its destruction.

The display shows six tanks, seven armored vehicles, and two rapid-control cannons.

Dozens of defensive fortifications were precisely taken over or destroyed in a very short time.

What's most perplexing is that all the media outlets are asking the same question: Why?

China Central Television (CCTV) launched an emergency special report program in the early hours of the morning!

Invited military expert Professor Zhang attempted to analyze this event.

Professor Zhang pushed up his glasses in front of the camera, his brows furrowed.

"From a tactical perspective, this operation can be considered a textbook example of special operations."

"But what's puzzling is that Hellfire and Squad Zero have no prior record of cooperation with our country!"

Why would someone suddenly risk their life to rescue our scientists? Is there some ulterior motive behind this?

Russia's RT television network offered an even bolder guess:

"Is this a trial run for a new type of mercenary recruitment model?"

"Perhaps a major power is using a private military company to carry out missions that it's inconvenient for the government to intervene?"

Fox News commentator Jason put it even more bluntly:

"Finish the fight in five minutes?"

"This even exceeds the capabilities of our SEAL Team Six!"

"I suspect this isn't a private military company at all, but rather a special forces unit of some country in disguise!"

On social media.

Hellfire Zero Squad -

The topic quickly rose to the top of the global trending list.

Netizens have come up with all sorts of imaginative guesses:

"It must be alien technology! Ending a battle in five minutes is something no human could do!"

"I bet a hundred bucks they're definitely a robot army secretly developed by some major power!"

"Is it possible that Professor Lin possesses some extraordinary technology that various forces are vying for?"

Among the numerous speculations, only one prediction made by various experts is correct:

Hellfire and Squad Zero are definitely together.

Peterson, an expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the United States, analyzed on Twitter:

"Judging from the level of coordination in their operations, these two teams are not only working together, but may actually be different branches of the same organization."

However, none of the experts guessed the real motive.

They listed countless possibilities—

Political intrigue, technological competition, and financial transactions!

It could even be that a certain major power wants to curry favor with China!

But no one expected that the motive would be so simple and personal.

The high-ranking members of the terrorist organization involved in this incident—

They watched the news broadcast from a safe house, their faces ashen.

The organization's third-in-command, Abu Fahd, held the remote control with trembling hands, and finally couldn't help but smash it against the television.

"If they had said they needed people earlier, we would have just sent them over!"

"Why treat our base like a garbage dump and sweep it up like that!"

"We didn't do anything to them! This is so unfair!"

Fahd's voice was almost tearful:

"That's a base we've been building for ten years! Gone in five minutes!"

Another leader silently calculated the losses:

"Six tanks, seven armored vehicles, two artillery pieces... all of them were either destroyed or looted."

"We lost fifty-seven brothers and suffered over a hundred injuries. The losses are enormous..."

"The most humiliating thing is!"

Fahd slammed his fist on the table:

"They clearly had the capability to annihilate us, yet they deliberately withdrew after only five minutes of fighting!"

"This is practically saying, 'We only needed five minutes to take care of you!'"

Indeed, Squad Zero demonstrated terrifying restraint during the operation.

They only eliminated the necessary resistance.

They even ignored terrorists who tried to escape or surrender.

Completely focused on the rescue objective.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere was equally tense inside the command center of the Dragon Kingdom's Ministry of National Security.

"Has no organization claimed responsibility for this operation yet?" Minister Li Weiguo asked, frowning.

"No, Minister. Hellfire, Baroque, and Squad Zero have not responded to our inquiries."

The intelligence chief replied, "But judging from their style and efficiency, it was definitely their doing."

Minister Li stood up and walked to the large screen, which displayed before-and-after images of the base's destruction:

"Five minutes... that kind of combat efficiency is terrifying."

"If they are friends and not enemies, that would be best."

"But what if they are enemies, not friends..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

"Continue trying to establish a connection with the Baroque style—"

Minister Li ultimately gave the following order:

"We also prepared three plans: one, if they demand a ransom or negotiate; two, if they have ulterior motives; and three, if... if this really is just a well-intentioned rescue operation."

A slight commotion arose in the conference room.

Everyone understands that the possibility of a third option is extremely slim.

There is never goodwill without a reason on the international political stage.

In particular, there was "goodwill" from private military companies.
