"I am President Gordon, and I am secretly authorized by me to immediately monitor all kinds of Internet, mobile and fixed communications in Kenya and Somalia from now on without going through Congress, and I will listen to all the phones involving a type of sensitive word 24 hours a day and activate all the spy personnel for this matter, no matter what technical means you use. ”

Putting down the phone, the president rubbed his swollen head and sat down in a comfortable and wide leather office chair with his eyes closed. The secretary placed a cup of ginseng tea on the desk in front of the president and whispered, "Mr. President, the CIA seems to know about the whereabouts of the Crusaders in Africa before you?"

At this point, there is no point in thinking about these kinds of questions. Gordon opened his eyes, and there was no expression on his wrinkled face. "I can't unite the CIA as a whole, just as we can't unify Asia, Africa and Europe. Not even Hermus. ”

The fact that the CIA is full of mountains and represents different forces is known to any president. But there are many things that even the president can't do. In particular, any dismissal or appointment of such an espionage unit involving too many secrets may lead to the leakage of secret information, which includes not only many scandals in the United States, but also scandals involving many political figures.

Every time a crusade appears, it seems to bring endless bloody winds, which are enough to send the United States, a democratic country, into a panic, and then affect the direction of votes in the hands of voters.

Gordon had to rely on the CIA's pervasive intelligence network around the world, so things like this about someone privately moving satellites couldn't be taken into account.

More than 40 years have passed, but American researchers have not cracked the mysterious elixir that makes people hallucinate. During this period, the United States even secretly conducted human experiments, but still could not decipher the mysterious agent, let alone synthesize this hallucinogen.

Just as the last smallpox virus was not destroyed by the United States but preserved, if he could choose to exterminate and capture the Crusaders, Gordon would definitely choose to capture the Crusaders and obtain this hallucinogen through various experiments.

The Keyhole satellite soon spotted a group of highly suspicious individuals moving along Kenyan territory towards Somalia. The Keyhole satellite soon transmitted the images to the U.S. military. The special operations team that got the news adjusted its direction in a Humvee and rushed all the way to the vicinity of the destination coordinates, preparing to ambush the suspicious group of people and horses.

After making sure that Ralph was safe, Ye Tian immediately turned back from the direction of Ethiopia to Somalia, but accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the crusaders halfway through. This made Ye Tian very excited, and he gave full play to all the hidden tracking skills he had learned, and was as far behind the crusaders as a ghost.

It was a very strange unit, with no mobile units and no heavy weapons, except for horses, so it did not move very fast.

Ye Tian didn't know that these crusaders had killed General Basha, who had seized the gold mine, and he carefully followed behind the crusaders, hiding his whereabouts like an invisible man.

When night came, it rained heavily again. Seeing that the team in front of him stopped to rest, Ye Tian also found a relatively high place, and covered the fishing line within a range of four or five hundred meters before he got into the waterproof sleeping bag to rest.

After stopping and stopping, the Crusaders finally entered a city on the morning of the third day.

The border city of Gandala near Somalia in Kenya is similarly plagued by various types of piracy and mercenary problems. These pirates and mercenaries have turned the border into a haven for drug smuggling and criminal activities, using their weapons against government forces in both countries. The weakness of the government forces and the increasingly incapable offensive have made the mercenaries here more and more arrogant. Except for the fact that they did not dare to blatantly subvert the regime, all criminal activities were carried out in broad daylight.

"Gentlemen, I need someone to come up with a most detailed and safe battle plan. The president sat in his chair and pointed to the aperture on the screen with an electronic whip and said, "The soldier in charge of directing the strike has determined the coordinates of the target, so what should we do next?"

"The crusaders have reached Gandala. A middle-aged man with glasses stood up and drew another virtual circle of light on the screen with the electronic whip in his hand.

"There is still a lot of civil strife in the region, and I think we need to pay attention to all kinds of public opinion, especially the recent domestic situation in Egypt. If we go too far, it could cause discontent in the international community, especially in China and Russia, which in turn could affect the military's actions in Egypt and the influence of the United States. ”

Speaking was Justin Owen, the first adviser in charge of special security affairs in the United States, and the chief executive of Gordon's various secret plans, a well-known hardliner in the United States.

Gordon gave Justin Owen, who was known for his toughness, a strange look, and asked uncertainly, "So what do you mean?"

"I am not in favor of the use of weapons of mass destruction in the vicinity of this region, which would affect our strategy in the region. ”

Justin Owen's status is very special. He is appointed by the President and is accountable to the President. Belonging to the president's personal advisers, that is, Owen's salary, is paid personally by the president of the United States.

Such people would not have been qualified to participate in such a large, top-secret military operation plan. But in order to make Owen legally qualified, Gordon forced Owen to be stuffed into the White House Affairs Management Committee. It's just that Owen is responsible for all the affairs that are only responsible to the president.

Before Gordon could react, the head of the US Navy stood up and said loudly: "Our special forces fighters are already in position and have mastered the precise coordinates of the target. We don't have a good reason to use force in a sovereign state, but I think it's a reasonable reason to hold large-scale military exercises near the coastal waters. After all, the people there need the mighty Third Fleet to deter the increasingly rampant pirates. At that time, only one * will be needed for the evil crusaders to go and repent to God. ”

The president shook his head: "Gentlemen, my original idea was to follow these people and find the source of evil. I am disappointed by the progress of the scientists, several key questions simply cannot be solved, and I even suspect that they have used the power that science cannot explain. So I thought about getting them all back, but now, I'm scared. Gordon turned around and said word by word to these top figures in American politics: "I'm afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, and I'm afraid that the ambition of a politician will hurt more African people and even people in Europe, Asia or the United States itself." ”

These high-sounding words can only fool ordinary people in the United States. Owen's words, in fact, only thought that Gordon wanted to capture the crusaders and bring them back for scientific research, so he gave the suggestion that weapons of mass destruction should not be used.

Since Mr. President wants to abandon this arrest for some reason, there is nothing more reassuring than to turn them into corpses.

"But Mr. President, please give us some more time, only a year, or ten months, and maybe we will find a way to make this miraculous substance. The meeting was attended by several experts in medicine and biology, who had been invited to the informal meeting because of the huge interests of the relevant consortium they represented, and the words of Gordon, an old politician, were actually addressed to these fanatical scientists.

"I'm sorry Dr. Phil, I can't gamble with people's lives. These high-sounding official words are still very effective in fooling scientific researchers. But everyone knows that Gordon chose to do it outside the United States, firstly, to expand his own popularity, and secondly, he was afraid that these crusaders would use strange methods to cause harm to the American troops stationed overseas. He didn't care how many died, but he cared about the anti-war sentiment and popular votes of the domestic electorate, and the basis for these things was based on the premise that the U.S. military could not suffer any casualties.

The president looked around for a moment, and when he made sure that his speech did not contradict him, he said slowly: "So, I have decided to wipe out the sinful souls of these crusaders near Gandala!"

The next thing is for the US Navy to formulate a battle plan.

The CIA and the U.S. military left the office to work out a detailed battle plan, and Gordon was left with only Owen and Gordon in his office.

"Sir, are you really going to give up on tracking down the whereabouts of the Crusaders?" Owen knew Gordon well, otherwise he would not have been able to say an opinion that did not match his personality in front of the military and the CIA.

"Of course not. Gordon smiled, there were some things that Owen couldn't know, but with Owen's clever head, it wasn't difficult to guess.

"I'm going to destroy this outcropping crusader. Hearing Gordon's words, Owen suddenly realized. Although the Crusaders acted strangely and killed people with terrifying methods, the backbone should be very scarce. The crusaders who were arrested to fool the people were all fanatical believers. This time the crusaders showed up, and if they could be killed, it was believed that they would definitely cause retaliation from the crusaders. If President Gordon wants to seek re-election, he will have to assume greater responsibility in counterterrorism.

Seeing Owen's sudden realization, Gordon laughed. When I was appointing the new director of the CIA, Helmus, I once said something to him, and he had the same expression on his face.

"What did you say to him?"

Gordon turned his head out the window, looked at a green lawn, and whispered, "You don't have to be loyal to the U.S. government, you just have to be loyal to me." Because if I step down from the presidency, you must be the second person. ”

Owen was silent for a moment when he heard Gordon's words, and the two of them suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.
