Chapter 0889 The tanker was detained
Following.
Li Zitao made a special trip to let the twins and Elizabeth go out to play, and today he wants to live an unforgettable two-person world with Mary.
There is no sea of flowers and balloons, and thousands of people are paying attention.
Only the world's only special-edition sports car was parked in front of the door, and the two people in casual sweatshirts set off without any salute.
"Where are we going?" Sitting in the car, Mary kept looking out the window, really loving the car he had given him.
"Don't think about it, just move forward. Li Zitao pointed ahead.
Whenever you want to do something, set a goal and goal for yourself.
Today, Li Zitao doesn't want to do this, he just wants to move forward.
The one-of-a-kind pink custom sports car, as soon as it appeared on the street, received countless people's attention.
If it was in a previous life, he was sure that the scene was full of 'clicks' of mobile phones taking pictures.
However, there is no such advanced technology for people to use, only a few artists who take the scene, and it happens that the reporter takes this picture.
The car quickly pulled out of Manhattan and into New Jersey to continue west.
The scenery on the side of the road became the focus of their discussion, and only when they slow down will they find that the world is full of scenery.
At noon, they parked their car on the side of the road and bought a delicious lunch at a farmhouse.
But when it came time to pay, the old woman didn't want to take it, but told them her story.
When her husband was still alive, he took her for a ride in this way, but at that time they used bullock carts.
There were fields and mud all around, and their pants and shoes were also covered with mud.
"But that's my best memory, and I hope you will too. Finally, the old woman sent her sincere wishes.
A trip is not luxurious, the journey is simple to the extreme, but it makes the two of them feel a lot.
On the way back, the smiles on the faces of the two were less burdened and more relaxed and calm.
"Maybe we should go on one of these journeys from time to time. Li Zitao said with a smile as he drove the car.
"Yes, it was a great trip. Mary leaned against the window, looked out at the scenery and smiled, "It's more interesting than the previous trip." ”
Sadly, relaxation and happiness are always short-lived.
As soon as he arrived downstairs in the apartment, Li Zitao saw Tia sitting in the hall, anxiously waiting, holding a thick pile of documents in her hand.
"Looks like I can't have dinner with you. Handing over the car keys to the servant, Li Zitao kissed his wife on the cheek apologetically.
"It's okay, stay safe. Helping him straighten his somewhat ruffled neckline and shoulders, Mary raised her hand to Tia in the hall and took the elevator upstairs.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Tia anxiously walking from the hall, Li Zitao turned back to the car and asked.
"Mobil's tankers returning from the Middle East had to change course due to bad weather, but they were discovered by the Japanese Navy and are currently being detained. ”
"The Industrialist and the Green?" If he remembered correctly, the two tankers were supposed to be in charge of oil transportation in the Persian Gulf.
"Yes. Tia looked at the boss cautiously.
Oil shipments in the Persian Gulf, which had previously been suspended, began to resume three months ago, and now there are problems.
"Is the crew injured, what does Washington say?" asked Li Zitao calmly.
"I don't know... Washington said it was inconvenient to intervene, and now that the United States and Japan are at war, it will be more troublesome for them to intervene. ”
Washington's opinion was conveyed to the secretary's office as soon as possible, and Tia's expression was a little hesitant, and she opened her mouth to say something.
"Is there any bad news?" Seeing her performance, Li Zitao motioned for her to continue.
"Washington has asked us to stop long-distance shipping, and the remaining tankers are prohibited from leaving the port. Tia put the order issued by Washington in front of him.
"Does Mobil agree?" Li Zitao asked calmly.
"They're looking for a solution. "Agreed, how could it be agreed.
The Persian Gulf is now a golden bowl that Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States want to take a bite of.
It is not known when Mobil will lose control of the Persian Gulf.
The only way to get it back is to wait until the end of the war, after countless negotiations, consultations, contests and compromises between the forces of all sides.
So, while Mobil still has the initiative, they want to squeeze every last drop of value out of the Persian Gulf.
Of course, this is just a metaphor.
Because even if they are given another 100 years, they will not want to do that.
"Where was the ship detained?" Li Zitao did not rush to express his position, and first understood the specific situation of the matter.
"2,000 nautical miles from the Sea of Japan, two oil tankers anchored and did not sail into the Sea of Japan as requested by the other party, but ......"
However, it should not last long, and the two sides have already killed each other in the Pacific.
This is a war between countries, but it doesn't matter if you intervene in the war or not, and Mobil does not intervene in the war?
As a giant that controls North American energy, if Mobil does not intervene, the United States will not say that it will be a war, and the cars on the road will have to lie on their stomachs.
"Let people communicate with them, we can pay the ransom and get the people back first. Hearing him say this, Tia nodded in understanding.
When Li Zitao was the only one left in the room, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of S.H.I.E.L.D.: "Hans, our ship has been detained, is the monk safe?"
Now, Li Zitao is thinking about everything, does the other party know something?
3 months of luck, why is it this time, choose the monk and his wife on the way back with important people.
"We've lost touch with him. Hans said in a heavy tone.
The impact of this matter is all bad, if the other party is really going towards the monk and the goal, it will be a big trouble.
Not only the safety of the monk and the target person, but also the threat from within, is there another traitor among them?
No one can guarantee 100% loyalty, but Li Zitao asks himself if he doesn't owe anyone anything, if that's really the case.
"Check, let Emien's Ministry of Supervision do it. Hanging up the phone with a black face, Li Zitao played with the Pixiu handle in his hand.
This Pixiu was 'faked' from West back then, and he has kept it at hand all these years, and he plays with it for a while when he has nothing to do.
Especially when you think about something, playing with it can help you focus more mentally.
In order to ensure the smooth journey, they made a special trip from the Far East to Africa, and after entering the Persian Gulf, they returned to the United States by oil tanker.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the Japanese, coincidence or premeditation, and he now needs a clear answer.
Lately, he always has a feeling that everything is not going well, "Is it because I am too careful, or is someone secretly planning something?"
Li Zitao muttered softly, his eyes slightly narrowed and flashed with a cold light.
In recent years, he has been unusually low-key, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has also targeted the world, and its influence in the United States has been declining.
But that doesn't mean he's a sick cat with no claws, and if anyone wants to try, he doesn't mind showing his claws again and tearing them apart.
