。。。。。。
White House Chief of Staff Pete Rolls said that the last topic of the meeting was about Zheng Xudong's attempt to stab the media and the Internet about the CIA's assassination of him.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said: "We can say hello to the major media in the United States and ask them not to broadcast this news, as for the ordinary people reported in those small newspapers, they will usually just watch it as gossip news, and watch it lively!"
This time, many people here agreed, because this kind of thing was handled in this way before, and the government hinted to TV and online media that this kind of news should not be broadcast, and usually everyone is still saving face.
Hillary laughed lightly twice and said: "Everyone, I'm afraid we won't be able to use this trick this time, because the CIA killer carried out assassination activities in Murdoch's residence, so we offended Murdoch's media group this time, and we want to suppress this matter, my opinion is to negotiate with Zheng Xudong and give him money to shut me up." ”
"Yes, just before the meeting, I received a call from Murdoch and Trump, they are both complaining about the CIA's assassination, so it's not easy to shut up the media group!"*** said this and looked at Hillary, "Hillary, will this kid shut up for money?" *** asked, he is the most worried about something happening here, he is the number one leader of the government, good things can be his turn, but he can't run away from bad things, the government is most afraid of some "dirty things" was exposed by the media, and then caused dissatisfaction among the American people, which directly affected his support rate votes.
"I believe in my eyes, I can see the dollar sign in this kid's eyes, as long as it doesn't touch his bottom line, there is nothing for him that the dollar can't solve, if the dollar doesn't work, it's the euro!"
"Okay, Hillary, it's up to you to talk to this kid about this, see how much he wants, less than $100 million, you decide, and in the end the money will come out of the CIA's funds, who is letting us wipe their butts! Do you have any opinions?"
China's ancestors have a good saying, called "It's not about business, hang high." This sentence is also applicable in the United States, since everyone is "wiping the ass" of the CIA, it is a bit too much to say that the CIA has not produced some "blood"! Anyway, it will not cost my department funds, and everyone nodded in agreement. Here, no one asked CIA Director Leon Panetta for his opinion.
"Alright, everyone, that's all for today. As for whether Leon is still qualified to be the director of the CIA, I think he just made some mistakes this time, and the main thing is the mistakes made by the operation team under him. Whether or not to remain the director of the bureau will be decided by the old men on Capitol Hill after the hearing. *** looked at everyone and was already very tired, after all, they were all older people, and now it was the middle of the night, and it was almost the same, "If it's okay, we'll break up." ”
"Wait a minute!" Clinton said. Everyone had just risen from their chairs and sat back down.
"Anything else?" *** looked at Hillary.
"Everyone seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, after the CIA assassins almost killed Ivanka by mistake when Wendi Deng carried out the assassination of Zheng Xudong at Wendi Deng's drinking party, this kid issued a death notice to Leon. Clinton still haunts it to this day.
Everyone laughed when they heard her words, and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said: "Hillary, you take this kind of kid's words seriously, I think, what he said is completely angry, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come to the stage at the scene, so he said it to you, don't pay attention to it." ”
The people present echoed one after another, no one believed Zheng Xudong's words, they all thought it was just a child's angry words, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said to Hillary: "Honey, you are already the mother of the child, how can you take what this kind of child says when he loses his temper seriously! Okay, everyone is tired, hurry back and wash and sleep!"
Hillary wasn't sure herself, but she said, "You didn't see his angry eyes at the scene, and if you did, I don't think you would have been so calm." Well, it's useless to say anything before things get to that point. As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to go out.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates touched FBI Director Robert Miller with his arm and said, "Let's go out for a drink or two and go back, I know there's a good place to drink."
"Okay, it's so late anyway, it's not bad for a while. Walking. FBI Director Robert Miller laughs.
Before ***, who was in the first place, opened the door of the conference room, the only solid phone in the conference room rang. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who was the last to get to the phone, picked up the phone, listened to a few words from the phone, and said, "Hey! I said guys, we're here." Robert, you're here to answer the phone. As he spoke, he looked at Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, because the FBI director was also Robert Miller.
They had already walked to the door, and when they heard the words of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, they said with some displeasure: "Hey, Timothy, what is the fuss, can't Robert handle it himself?" He had no choice but to go back to his chair and sit down. As soon as the others saw that the "boss" had gone back to sit down, they all sat down in their chairs, except for Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who was standing there listening to the phone with a sinking face, and his face darkened the more he got to the end.
A few of the people sitting there knew that things were not small when they saw Robert Gates's black face, and soon Secretary of Defense Robert Gates hung up the phone, sat down in his chair and sorted out the language, and said: "Everyone, I just received a message from District 51. ”
Sure enough, everyone here immediately came to their senses as soon as they heard the news from Area 51, because it was the top secret project of the US government, and there was no room for error!
"Tonight, I received a call from CIA Director Leon Panetta that an agent wanted to shoot in Area 51 for a few days and was delivering us a newly developed interrogation drug. But just now, the commander of the camp in District 51 called and said that the agent had been abducted twenty kilometers from the camp, and to be precise, the car driven by the agent was scrapped with a stunner, and then the other party drove away with the CIA agent and his fate was unknown. ”
Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said: "Then hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Although everyone doesn't like Nancy Pelosi, she can occasionally get to the point, and everyone looks at Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, waiting for his next step.
"That's right, the camp commander of District 51 immediately sent a Black Hawk helicopter to chase after him, just ten minutes ago, the helicopter was shot down by the other side with an anti-materiel arresting rifle, killing all six members of the plane, according to the last call record on the plane, they had seen the female agent, tied to the front of a Toyota 4700 off-road vehicle. Then I saw the other party's NTW-20 anti-materiel arrester rifle, and the information ended here. The call had just been made by the commander of the Camp in Area 51, who had found the downed Black Hawk helicopter and the burned Toyota SUV at the scene, but had not seen the female CIA agent and her captor. That's the way it is. ”
Hillary immediately heard the loophole in Secretary of Defense Robert Gates's words, and asked directly: "You said that the female agent carried a newly developed drug, what kind of drug? And do you take a look, is it this person?" After speaking, she took out a folded A4 paper from her pocket, on which was the resume of Arianne Davis, a member of the CIA operation team who assassinated Zheng Xudong, which Zheng Xudong obtained through Xiao Ai's inquiry, and was taken away by Hillary on the spot.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates first took the paper with the big CIA logo on it, looked at the photo and name on it, "The agent's name is this, but I have never seen anyone." As for what kind of medicine it is?" he glanced at the president, because this medicine was kept secret and only a few people knew about it.
He said to Hillary next to him: "I know that this drug is a psychotropic drug jointly developed by the military and the CIA for interrogating prisoners." "Speaking of which, *** didn't go into details.
Everyone heard that this must be a kind of strong medicine that is inconvenient to make public and is more anti-human, so these old political ghosts consciously did not ask.
"Do you have any general suspicions?" asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates thought for a moment and said: "According to the information from the CIA, they suspect that Zheng Xudong did it. ”
His words made everyone in the room stunned, and no one expected that the CIA would make such a judgment and suspect a high school student.
"Do they have any basis?" *** asked again.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates shook his head at this point.
That's when Hillary said, "Robert, you just said that this happened just ten minutes ago, right?" and Defense Secretary Robert Gates nodded. Hillary continued: "If you want to know if Zheng Xudong did it, it is very good to judge, we will now immediately search the hotel where Zheng Xudong is staying, and see if he is not in the hotel, if he is, it proves that he did not do this, because he can't rush back to the hotel in Los Angeles from District 51 in any hour, and we only need half an hour to get to the hotel." If he is not at the hotel, provide evidence of his alibi during this time. If he does not provide evidence of an alibi ... Hmph!"
Everyone at the scene praised Hillary's agile thinking in their hearts, worthy of being the iron lady of politics, seeing the problem incisively and the viciousness of the means, which made everyone here a little ashamed.
