Chapter 350: The Man Behind the Scenes

Llorente quickly got in touch with the CIA chief in charge of the operation, and that wariness finally disappeared after learning of the missile incident that had taken place in Australia the past hour.

If you are unlucky, something like that happened in Australia would be normal for you to take such an action.

He told everyone about the situation, and the members of the action team were quickly relieved.

Half an hour later, the Gulfstream G550 landed at Sydney International Airport with a whistling sound, and the two Super Hornets with escort missions waved their wings and left one after another.

The Gulfstream G550 is guided by ground crews to the tarmac, where it will refuel, refuel, refill food, etc.

For safety reasons and other reasons, Llorente did not plan to get off the plane, but waited for all the preparations for the plane's transfer to be completed, and then took off directly to Los Angeles.

IBM staff have already taken care of all the coordination with the airport, and Sydney International Airport will resupply the Gulfstream G550.

It's just that Llorente never expected that at the moment when the Gulfstream G550 business jet entered the tarmac and did not stop steadily, five heavily armed explosion-proof vehicles quickly sprang out around and surrounded the plane.

Soldiers of the Australian anti-hijacking special forces quickly occupied various parts of the aircraft.

Then, a pickup truck with lifting equipment pulled up at the door of the engine room and lifted several soldiers up.

Soon, with a bang, the hatch exploded, and a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed in, aiming their guns at the trained CIA agents.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move. I'll shoot if I move!"

Llorente and the others were already stunned, and they only had time to pull out their automatic weapons and confront the Australian soldiers.

Llorente looked solemn, raised his gun and shouted loudly: "We are agents of the CIA, we are on a secret mission, and we hope to negotiate with your responsible person." ”

The Australian anti-terrorism unit has long been instructed by the Ministry of Defense, and said in a loud voice: "No matter who you are, this is Australian territory, you have weapons in your hands, and you have violated Australian law, and now I order." You put the gun down for me at once. Otherwise we'll shoot straight away!"

Llorente and his party immediately looked at each other, none of them expected that things would turn out like this.

Now they are on the territory of the Australians, and they have no ability to turn the other side around.

What's more, he has the identity of the CIA. The other party didn't dare to do anything to himself.

Just the task......

Llorente glanced at Qiao Ting. There is some helplessness.

The commander of the Australian Special Forces on the opposite side pointed his gun firmly at Llorente's head. He said loudly: "I'll give you the last three seconds, put the gun down immediately......!" 2. ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Llorente suddenly dropped his gun on the ground. Loud voice: "We surrender, we surrender!"

Ling Wei sat in the cabin, stunned as she watched the dramatic scene in front of her, what was going on?

…………

Langley, Virginia, USA, where the CIA headquarters is located.

CIA Deputy Director John Brennan sipped a cigar in his mouth and frowned as he flipped through the latest information on Australia's unidentified missile case.

Half an hour ago, the X-band phased array radar deployed by the US military in the port of Darwin, Australia, was destroyed by an unknown long-range ballistic missile, and the 10 intercontinental missile warheads that had been detected before suddenly disappeared mysteriously when they were about to hit several major cities in Australia.

The riots in the big cities of Sydney, Canberra, and Melbourne are nothing, and the key now is where these warheads came from, where they were launched, why they were not discovered by the US military's space-based infrared early warning system during the ascent stage, and how they disappeared afterwards.

Especially for the U.S. government, it is even more important to get to know these secrets.

Imagine if terrorists had made a few hits in cities like New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco, and even if they didn't cause much damage in the end, the resulting riots alone would have cost the United States dearly.

Because of this, after learning the relevant information, Oguanhai immediately announced the convening of a national security conference, and CIA Director David Petraeus had already arrived in a helicopter to Washington.

Originally, as the White House's homeland security and counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan was supposed to attend, but for some unknown reasons, John Brennan excused himself and refused the meeting.

John Brennan rubbed his temples and leaned back in his chair with a long sigh of relief.

Born into a family of Irish immigrants, he received a bachelor's degree in political science from Fordham University in 1977 and is fluent in Arabic.

After joining the CIA in the 80s, he worked his way up the ranks, from assistant to the director, head of the CIA's Middle East regional branch, to 2001, when he became deputy director of the CIA, John Brennan worked for the CIA for 25 years, and has deep roots.

Originally, with his qualifications, he could directly serve as the director of the CIA.

In 2008, when O'Guanhai first became president of the United States of America, he considered nominating Brennan to be the director of the CIA, but the key moment went wrong, Brennan's statement about the Bush administration's unconventional interrogation methods went wrong, and was used as a lever to seize and attack him, and finally forced Obama to abandon his nomination.

However, in recent years, whether in the Panetta era or in the era of David Petraeus, the real control of the world's largest intelligence agency has to be regarded as the CIA-born native.

Without Brennan's cooperation, Leon Panetta and David Petraeus would not have been able to move within the CIA.

Fortunately, both directors are self-aware, and there are no problems between them and Brennan, and they have always maintained a happy cooperation.

Brennan was looking through the latest intelligence information but had another thing in mind, when there was a knock on the door.

Brennan looked up and said, "Please come in!"

The door creaked open, and a bald-headed white man pushed the door in.

George Brosnan is the CIA's chief of Asia-Pacific affairs, one of Brennan's confidants, and is fluent in Japanese and Chinese.

"Director, something happened, the 1314 special service team was detained in Australia, and it is said that the Australians dispatched anti-terrorist special forces. ”

"What?"

Brennan stood up at once.

"What the hell is going on?

George Brosnan said: "It's been shown, but the Australians don't give them a chance to explain, and now the target is in the hands of the Australians." ”

Brennan stood up and walked around the office for a few moments before he said, "You prepare a plane right away, go to Australia, and bring back the people from the special service team." ”

"And what about the goal?"

Brennan said, "Do you think we still have a chance to get her now?"

George Brosnan was silent.

Brennan said: "Let's go back first, I'll settle this matter." ”

"Yes!"

Watching George Brosnan's figure disappear behind the door, Brennan thought for a moment, pulled out his personal phone, and dialed a number.

"Mr. Morgan? ”

A slightly magnetic middle-aged man's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Brennan, what's going on?"

Brennan said: "The Australians took action, and the special service team and the target were intercepted at Sydney International Airport, and I suspect that other forces are involved. ”

"Other forces?"

The Mr. Morgan paused slightly, thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, I know about this." ”

Brennan narrowed his eyes and said, "I hope Mr. Morgan doesn't forget the agreement between us." ”

Mr. Morgan laughed out loud and said, "Your Excellency Brennan, don't you believe in my credibility? Rest assured, whether this mission succeeds or not, you will be able to ascend to the throne of the CIA director in half a year." ”

Brennan muttered, "That's good!"

……

Sydney International Airport, Australia.

Members of the CIA secret service led by Llorente were pulled away directly by a squad of police cars.

Under the protection of several members of the Australian special forces, Ling Wei got into a bulletproof car in a bit of a daze, and then went directly to the city center.

Along the way, the streets of Sydney are littered with looted shops, burning cars, and garbage.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and when I see one or two occasionally, most of them are frightened, and the whole city and Ling Wei's impression of Sydney are completely two worlds.

What's really going on here?

Ling Wei felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Half an hour later, Ling Wei was placed in a high-security five-star hotel, surrounded not only by police officers, but also by several capable female bodyguards.

Ling Wei finally caught an official in charge of her security and asked the other party what was going on, but the other party told her even more shocking news.

Tonight, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard will come from Canberra to wash the dust for Ling Wei at this hotel.

This news made Ling Wei stunned for a long time, and she didn't fully react until she entered the presidential suite of the hotel.

After the bodyguards checked Ling Wei's bedroom, they quickly retreated.

Ling Wei opened the curtains in the room, and the morning sun shone in through the glass, with a warm smell.

Looking out the window, you can see the sea, and you can also see the white shell-shaped landmark Sydney Opera House.

Ling Wei took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and sorted out in her mind what she had experienced in the past two days.

From being kidnapped herself, to going abroad, to being rescued by the Australian military, Yiqiē happened so quickly that she felt dizzying.

Especially the kidnappers, how did they bring themselves to Australia to fall into the net, and how did the Australian military know that they were on the plane?

What surprised her even more was that the Australian Prime Minister actually wanted to see her, which was too unscientific.

Ling Wei had a faint feeling that this qiē might not be able to get rid of Chen Xin. (To be continued......)
