"In other words, we must evacuate beyond the opponent's pursuit range within three minutes after the explosion."

"Including the time the drone delayed bombing, we have a total of five minutes."

"The route has been planned, I need everyone to remember your location."

"clear!"

Several squad leaders answered in a low voice. Then, they marked the location on their PDAs and checked the time again on their watches.

"The current time is 3:15, and the other party's changing of guard time is from 4:00 to 4:05."

"In order to avoid running into their changing of the guard force, we must set off after 3:50. In other words, we need to approach their base safely, quickly and covertly within 10 minutes."

"Now, everyone rest where they are, keep the radio silent, and wait for my departure order!"

"clear."

After getting everyone's answers, the commander-in-chief turned off the flashlight and lifted the shade cloth.

Then, he fumbled to find a suitable place to sit down, quietly looking at the brightly lit base in the distance, and rehearsing the details of the next action over and over again in his mind.

This is a mission that involves risking one's life.

But compared to its meaning, one's own life seems to be nothing.

Because once the action is successful, those people in their homeland who are still struggling in the storm may be saved.

This is really a disaster, and I will have the opportunity to be the hero who ends this disaster.

He was lost in thought, and at this moment, someone tapped his shoulder lightly.

By the dim light of his watch, he recognized that the person in front of him was the captain of Team 2 and his most trusted partner.

The squad leader came to his side, lowered his voice and asked:

"So, are there really weapons of mass destruction there? I think we have used this reason once, and it is not very convincing."

Hearing his words, the commander-in-chief shook his head subconsciously.

Then he replied:

"Weapons of mass destruction is just a broad term."

"Actually, it's an underground uranium enrichment facility."

"It has not been officially put into use, but according to intelligence, a series of equipment including centrifuges have begun to be moved in."

"You know, their transit time is today."

"What we need to blow up is actually not an industrial facility, it's just a centrifuge that they haven't had time to install yet."

"But does that make sense?"

The squad leader asked puzzledly.

"Of course it makes sense we don't want them to have nuclear weapons, that's the point."

After hearing his answer, the squad leader was silent for a long time before continuing:

"But I feel that our action this time is actually much more than what appears on the surface."

"At least we're not here just to blow something up."

"Maybe we need to leave something behind."

"Am I right?"

The commander-in-chief did not answer, but his silence itself was an answer.

The two stopped talking, and time passed quickly. At 3:50 in the morning, as a long motorcade appeared from a distance, this small team also began their action.

They lurked in the night like ghosts, silently following the ravines on the plain, and rushed to a position less than 200 meters from the edge of the base's security area.

This is the limit they can reach.

Even their most powerful projectile weapons are not enough to reach the core of this base without exposing their own position.

But luckily, their drones can.

In the silent night sky, a black shadow slowly flew over the base.

Subsequently, the ground beacon was locked and all combat units began to evacuate according to the predetermined plan.

Everything went smoothly, even so smoothly that one wonders whether such a large team was needed for this operation.

——

But at this moment, someone in the evacuating team was suddenly shot down without warning.

A full two seconds later, gunshots were heard from a distance.

Later, someone in the team fired back.

Immediately afterwards, the drone dropped the bomb.

Fire shot into the sky.

All this happened in just a few seconds.

It was as if it had been carefully rehearsed and happened smoothly.

The squad leader on the side looked at the commander-in-chief in astonishment, and under the dim firelight, his expression was extremely determined.

Yes, he already knew the plan.

The plan to "leave something behind"

A few days later, news of attacks on military facilities in Iran spread throughout the world.

The drones used in the raids, as well as the bodies of the attackers left at the scene, pointed the finger at another country.

Saudi Arabia.

This is a crude and absurd conclusion.

But people who are in the fear of an impending economic crisis don't think it is absurd at all.

They only know one thing:

The real storm in the desert is coming.
