The CIA quickly received information from the KGB agents they had recruited that someone in Ermao was recruiting retired veterans and training them.

Following this lead, we found out that the recruitment and training of bosses was not conducted by any organization, but rather by a privately hired team.

As for the code name of this mercenary organization, or the name of its leader, no one knows.

The CIA continues to intensify its intelligence gathering efforts, and it is clear that this mercenary organization is connected to the newly emerging J Fire King.

This is like selling the old Su family's junk all over Africa. Furthermore, it indicates that the newly crowned King of Fire has the capability to provide heavy equipment.

Zhao Shanhai came into the CIA's sights for the first time.

You don't know until you investigate. Once you start investigating, a line of clues comes out: this person had held a position in the rice industry, sold Pegasus series cars in Europe, and was also a CEO.

Such seemingly virtuous people may be involved in shady dealings.

Who could have imagined it?

Zhao Shanhai and Xing Baohua have a close relationship, and given that Xing Baohua was attacked not long ago, wow, many things that were hard to explain have become simple.

It turns out that this mercenary group is related to Xing Baohua, and it's possible that Xing Baohua was the one who organized it behind the scenes.

Many things cannot be investigated too deeply, because the more you investigate, the clearer things become.

If Firebird is an agent, then Brother Mao's hired team is also an agent.

This was a battle of agents, and Firebirds were clearly caught off guard and faced bankruptcy. Based on their experience in North Africa, they faced huge compensation claims.

Do we have money? No money! After the first wave of retaliation, funds became tight, so how could we afford to pay compensation and resettlement allowances to the North African bases?

Ask the boss behind the scenes for it, but he's denying everything. He said the money he gave you before was just a deposit. Did you complete the task? Did the target disappear? He's doing just fine, so don't retaliate. It just means your company can't handle the risk.

They overturned all the promises they had made and instead concluded that Firebird was an incompetent security company.

The Firebirds headquarters are located in Utah. Several upheavals have thrown the headquarters' top management into chaos. Some are dissatisfied and have left, some say they want to take revenge on their superiors, and others say they want to try to continue completing the mission.

Forget about the mission. That country doesn't have a sophisticated plan or logistical support. Even if someone manages to infiltrate, how will they complete the mission?

A fire poker?

At this time, they were unaware that three special forces personnel who had already been deployed in Utah were disguised as newspaper deliverymen, mail truck drivers, and garbage collectors to conduct reconnaissance of the Firebird headquarters.

The Americans don't send many people; three to five people can easily sneak in. Equipment is also easy to buy; you can get a decent pair of gear on the black market for a little money.

The security personnel at the entrance, the surrounding CCTV cameras, and other details were all meticulously recorded. This information was then sent to the R server via email in an encrypted compressed file.

Using this data, the operations department and the general staff will formulate attack plans.

Several plans were quickly devised based on the identities and circumstances of the three special forces members, but the safest and most secure option was to have them hijack or steal a tanker truck.

The plan is to ram the gate of the Firebird headquarters with an oil tanker and detonate it at a set time. Whether the driver can escape depends on his skills, and of course, there is a backup plan if he does manage to get out.

Regardless of which of the three special forces members drives the tanker truck, their chances of survival are slim.

After reviewing the plan, all three complained, "Is this a safe approach?"

They didn't have any powerful TNT or similar items, just a tiny bit of chewing gum, which was meant for small-scale explosions. Using it at the Firebird headquarters would be ineffective and would only alert the enemy.

So the three of them discussed how to get an oil tanker.

None of the three were fools. They made slight modifications to the plan. If an explosion occurred when they crashed into the gate of the Firebird headquarters, they would consider themselves unlucky and down on their luck.

But what if it doesn't explode?

If you open the door to escape, who wouldn't get riddled with bullets?

So he thought of making an escape hatch in the driver's seat, so he could slide out from under the car, while the other two people would come to meet him in a car.

The three of them used the funds to rent a garage that could house oil tankers, planning to modify the oil tankers later.

Later, the three of them felt that the oil was not powerful enough, so they decided to add some more ingredients to make it more potent.

One ton of sugar and three tons of aluminum powder. Pour them into an oil tanker, and the fireworks after it explodes will be spectacular.

This process not only increases the fire's power by more than three times, but also makes it much harder to extinguish. Furthermore, the ignition points emitted by the fireworks pose a significant threat to surrounding buildings and vegetation.

They thought the oil tanker was the easiest to get their hands on; the sugar and aluminum powder were the more troublesome parts. Fortunately, they had a rented address that could provide cover.

If they were to add a few tons of fertilizer and water pipes, a simplified version of a rocket would be easier than setting up an oil tanker.

It's not that they can't do it, but that they haven't thought about it.

The materials were purchased separately by the three of them from different companies in different states. They only started looking for the tanker truck after they had gathered all the materials.

Actually, the simplest way is to just keep an eye on one gas station.

Knowing the tanker truck's route, you can simply intercept it halfway. This method is easily spotted by passing vehicles, which will likely trigger an alarm.

During the insurance period, they would dress up as police officers and conduct random checks on a certain section of the road.

This method lulls the tanker truck driver into a false sense of security. The plan went smoothly; after succeeding, the tanker truck drove to their rented warehouse and refueled as needed.

To the three's surprise, the tanker truck had a walkie-talkie system, requiring the driver to report the location every so often.

Because these are special vehicles, the management of oil tankers is very strict, and the driver had already passed away. Since the truck hadn't reported its location for a long time, the oil tanker company noticed something amiss and contacted the police.
