I was a general in South America

The sky was a hazy gray.

Manizales is located in the Andes Mountains, and the rainy season seems to be approaching.

If the summer rainforest is rated four stars for danger, then the rainforest during the rainy season is rated a whopping maximum.

Often before the rainy season arrives, anti-government guerrilla groups hiding in the forests will plan attacks on government troops in surrounding towns to seize enough supplies to get through the entire rainy season.

This is one of the reasons why, although the government forces have gained some control of the war, they have never been able to completely eliminate the anti-government forces since the outbreak of the civil war in 1964.

Searching for scattered guerrilla groups in a vast primeval forest is as difficult as finding pearls on the sea.

Faced with tropical rainforests where trees can stretch for tens of meters and block out the sun, the helicopters sent out saw nothing but trees.

Only by exhausting human resources and using the most primitive method of searching the mountains with nets might we be able to achieve results.

During the rainy season in the Amazon, even the most professional forest guides cannot guarantee a safe return.

This often resulted in the government forces defeating the rebels in the summer, forcing them to flee in panic. When things looked bad, the rebels would hide in the forest and quietly wait for the rainy season to arrive so they could recuperate.

At the entrance of Camp 3...

Lucas was already waiting for the film crew on the playground, not to curry favor with the film's sponsor.

A film crew that could obtain filming permits during this period and directly coordinate with the rapid reaction force through the military might be backed by some powerful figure with extensive connections.

The fact that the third team became the main player in this project proves that Lucas's actions during this period have begun to have an effect.

Filming is complete, and it will air afterward.

This will help Lucas improve his political reputation...

You can do good deeds anonymously, but you must learn to keep a diary!

Before long, two black dots in the sky slowly grew larger, and four UH-60 Black Hawk transport helicopters flew toward the camp.

The big spenders are really something else!

The film crew was lent a large plane worth millions of dollars; it's worth noting that the entire Colombian government army doesn't even have many such luxurious vehicles.

The Black Hawk helicopter is painted with prominent U.S. military markings.

The spinning blades created gusts of wind; this entrance was quite impressive.

Soon, fully armed soldiers jumped off the plane first, followed by a white man dressed as an officer.

"Black Stone, leader of the Special Operations Team, U.S. Southern Command. We're from Howard Air Force Base in Panama. You must be Lucas. I'll be in charge of the crew's safety during filming. You just need to cooperate."

His head was slightly raised, and his tone was commanding.

The arrogance of the US military is well-deserved!

Upon hearing this, Moreno, who was standing to the side, kept glancing at Lucas beside him, ready to rush forward and take down the American at the slightest signal.

The soldiers who were relatively close were glaring angrily at this moment.

The battle in Manizales had instilled a certain temperament in the soldiers of the Third Squad, which is why victorious units are often composed of arrogant and fierce soldiers.

While I was killing drug dealers in the city, you were playing in the mud at the base.

Screw your act!

Lucas suddenly laughed...

Seeing the officer named Blackstone extend his hand, the man seemed quite satisfied with the effect of the show of force, and the two hands clasped together.

Suddenly, Lucas exerted force and pulled the other man towards his chest. The latter was clearly not aware that he would suddenly attack, and his knee slammed into his abdomen.

Blake, in pain and anger, tried to fight back, but found his arm twisted behind his back and unable to exert any force.

Lucas didn't care about anything else, he raised his foot and stepped on the back of the other's knee, and Blake, who was caught in the backhand grab, immediately knelt on one knee.

"Fuck..."

Swish, swish, swish...

In a flash, the soldiers on both sides raised their guns and faced each other almost simultaneously.

A firefight seemed imminent, but Lucas paid no heed to the American soldiers, pulled out his pistol and pressed it hard against the back of Blake's head, bending down to whisper in his ear.

"In Manizales, no one is allowed to be more awesome than me... I'm only telling you one thing: if you dare to speak to me in a commanding tone again, I'll turn you into Kennedy right now."

These words were like adding fuel to the fire; the humiliated Blake became even angrier and turned his head to threaten.

"You've got guts..."

But before he could finish speaking, he saw Lucas's eyes gleaming with excitement and madness, as if anticipating his resistance.

Blake swallowed his words back. His first impression of those eyes was that this guy was a lunatic...!

Even Blake had a sixth sense that if he dared to threaten, the other party would definitely dare to shoot.

The people getting off the plane were stunned by the scene: a middle-aged man with a thick beard, accompanied by a woman in a beige suit, quickly came over.

"What misunderstanding has occurred? I am Brant Hoffman, the director of this shoot. Lieutenant Lucas, could you please release Blake? If you have any questions, you can talk to me."

"I apologize, Mr. Hoffman. I just saw Captain Black and couldn't resist sparring with him. I've already cleared up the misunderstanding... What do you say, Captain Black?"

Lucas let go and pulled the other person up, even thoughtfully patting the dust off their clothes.

Blake simply snorted coldly, offering no answer... especially looking at Lucas's smiling face, a smile brimming with damned threat!

How the hell am I supposed to answer that?

His mother was embarrassed, so she had no choice but to tattle on him...?

I wanted to intimidate the other person, but I ended up kneeling down instead?

Blake admitted that he had been somewhat intimidated by the bastard, but a soldier's face can only be regained on the battlefield.

During the mission, he will tell Lucas what an elite force is.

Hoffman immediately understood what was going on when he saw Blake's attitude; the other party had been vying for command of the operation even before the filming began.

In order to make the documentary more authentic, he defied public opinion and chose to give Lucas control of the entire project.

This was the result of Hoffman's careful consideration. The other party was more familiar with the drug traffickers' movements and the rainforest environment. It was precisely because of the newspapers about Lucas that he chose this unit as his subject.

"Manizales drug traffickers are prohibited from entering!"

These words were incredibly inspiring, and Hoffman, who had been dedicated to promoting anti-drug efforts, felt he had found a kindred spirit. If he couldn't get someone to direct the operation...

Then the point of choosing Manizales is lost!

"Blake, your superiors have ordered you to only be responsible for the safety of the filming crew. If you have any questions, you can call the Panama base... Southern Command will get back to you. As for the upcoming filming schedule, we will cooperate with Lieutenant Lucas's operations."

"Lieutenant Lucas, thank you for your hard work... I've always wanted to meet you. Colombia needs brave men like you, and the global fight against drugs needs your help even more!"
