Hanging up the phone, BS immediately asked the secretary to inform the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Chief of Naval Operations, and others to hold a meeting together.

Although the Rockefeller family has already given the task, the specific details of the implementation still need to be discussed with the military bosses.

The whole meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and the content of the discussion was unknown to outsiders, but when the meeting ended and the military bigwigs came out of the Oval Office, a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine in the US Fifth Fleet in the Middle East quietly left the port and headed for the Gulf of Aden under the cover of night.

At the same time, a C-130 Hercules transport plane carrying 45 heavily armed Navy SEALs at an air force airfield in Bahrain also flew towards Somalia.

This night in Somalia is not destined to be peaceful.

At midnight, three Tomahawk cruise missiles kicked off first, and the blinding fire with a deafening roar cooked a thick steel broth for the pirate gang stationed here.

The few who were lucky enough not to die under the missiles were shot and killed on the spot by the Navy SEALs who followed.

This is not a clean-up operation, but a massacre, a naked counter-violence with violence.

Charles Rockefeller wanted to tell every pirate in Somalia in such a simple and direct way: You are ruthless, I am more ruthless than you, you are cruel, I am more ferocious than you.

Of course, this method is a bit too cruel, but it is undeniable that it works well.

Since then, Somali pirate gangs, no matter how unscrupulous they may be in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, will turn around and disappear as soon as they see ships flying the Stars and Stripes.

Because they know that when a country that preaches freedom and equality to the world all the time becomes uncivilized, it is a butcher.

Therefore, if you want to live and nourish, the wisest thing to do is to see how far this butcher is coming and how far you run, and never try to challenge the bottom line of this butcher, because once the butcher raises the butcher knife, it will be a nightmare.

Of course, this kind of countering violence with violence will certainly be criticized by many people, especially the so-called messengers of peace, but as a strong person, is it necessary to care about the feelings of the weak? Is it necessary to compromise for the weak?

Is it necessary!

In the pirate base, after the last wail was gone, the slaughter finally came to an end.

When the rising sun shines on the earth again, this devastated land is full of stumps, broken arms and blood-stained dirt.

Before 45 Navy SEALs had time to wipe the blood off their faces, they piled up severed limbs and corpses all over the ground, and finally poured gasoline on the mountain of corpses several meters high.

When the gasoline was ignited, the blazing flames carried bursts of smoke, blocking the morning sun at this moment.

Yes, there are always corners of the world where the sun doesn't shine.

While history records the glory and greatness, doesn't it also cover up the darkness and bloodshed behind it?

When the flames are extinguished, the smoke clears, and the salty sea breeze blows the ashes all over the ground into the blue sea, who knows what happened here, not to mention that the eyes of the world have long since been cast to the United States, thousands of miles away.

United States· HSD National Airport.

Early in the morning, people from all over the world and hundreds of reporters carrying long guns and short guns blocked the busiest and most crowded airport in the country.

They weren't gathered to catch a plane or to meet a superstar, who was here to wait for the return of 13 heroes.

Since the pirate hijacking incident, there has been an uproar in the United States, and while protesting against the weakness of the government, the public is also highly concerned about the development of subsequent events, and after learning that the remains of Antonio and others will arrive at the HSD National Airport today, these people have rushed from various states and counties to greet the heroes and express their respect for Antonio and others.

Of course, it was not only ordinary people and journalists who greeted them, but also the families of 13 CIA agents, accompanied by government officials, including Antonio's wife, Lisa Antonio.

After a night of relaxation, Lisa Antonio has gradually accepted the reality of her husband's death, but what if she doesn't, just like Daniel Thomas said, the child is still young and needs her to take care of it, and she must cheer up.

But fortunately, she doesn't have to worry about her future life, Antonio died in the line of duty, and the federal government will not only give her a pension, but also cover the living and learning expenses of the child until the age of 18.

In this way, she and her children will not have a hard time due to Antonio's sudden death, and she will be able to spend more time and energy on her children.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the military plane transporting the remains of Antonio and 12 others finally landed at the HSD national airport. Hundreds of reporters desperately set the shutter in their hands to record this precious moment.

Seventy-two uniformed soldiers slowly lifted the 13 coffins covered with the Star-Spangled Banner off the plane.

The families of the deceased, who had been waiting at the airport for a long time, stepped forward to search for the bodies of their loved ones, and after a while, the sound of crying gradually came from the empty tarmac.

Lisa Antonio had already decided to be a strong person for the sake of her children, but when she found the body of her husband Antonio, she couldn't help crying.

Life and death, the most painful thing in life is this, but how painful this pain is, only those who encounter it know how painful.

As the cries on the tarmac continued to emanate, HSD National Airport was immersed in a state of grief, with reporters recording the last reunion between the dead and the living, while ordinary people used tears to pay tribute to these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country.

As for how does the CIA commemorate these colleagues who died in the line of duty?

13 stars.

There is a star wall in the lobby of the CIA headquarters, and whenever an agent dies in the line of duty, the director of the CIA will personally place an unnamed star on the star wall to commemorate those agents who died in the line of duty.

Today, Director William will place 13 unnamed stars on the wall at a time, which is the largest number of stars placed since the establishment of the CIA.

Just as he placed the stars on the starwall, the bodies of Antonio and the others were transported by hearse to the Capitol after a brief stop at the airport.

Since the president has approved the state funeral papers, Congress has also been notified.

So the remains of Antonio and others will be given a state funeral in the central hall of the Capitol.

State funerals in the United States include the interment of the remains, the farewell to the remains, and the funeral rites.

In addition to the funeral ceremony held at the HSD National Cathedral, the burial ceremony and farewell ceremony were held in the central hall of the Capitol.

In charge of all matters related to the state funeral is the president's special representative, the Secretary of Defense.
