It must be admitted that the efficiency of the FBI is not bad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just half an hour later, the F.B.I. received information from South Korea's National Intelligence Service that two reporters from the National News Agency had been attacked at home and left in the basement.

At this time, it is enough to confirm that the two guys who boarded "Air Force One" are not South Korean journalists.

Because Scott mentioned some information in the conversation, the FBI quickly found out that one of them must be Liu Wei, who was in the limelight in Las Vegas before.

The FBI immediately mobilized agents from Las Vegas and surrounded the Pyramid Palace as quickly as possible.

It's a pity that those who stayed here were some staff members who were not very close to Liu Wei, and no one knew where the company executives who followed Liu Wei to the United States went.

It was only when the US authorities pursued him that they learned that all the people close to Liu Wei had left the United States six days ago under various pretexts.

Although the FBI did not give up the investigation and immediately contacted law enforcement agencies in other countries to ask for assistance in the pursuit, it was too late to do so.

What the FBI can do is to submit information related to the Manhattan attack to the vice president to prove whether what Liu Wei said is true.

This is not done to solve problems, but to enable the vice president to make the right decisions.

It's just that at this critical juncture, the vice president has no idea what the FBI has to offer. In his opinion, if Scott had been a little smarter, he would have mentioned the most critical question at the right time, namely where Liu Wei came from and through what channels he was genetically modified.

It can be said that only by understanding this question can we figure out who Liu Wei serves and why he does these things.

As for the things Liu Wei mentioned, such as working only for himself and not serving any country, the vice president of the United States will not believe it at all.

You know, genetic modification is very difficult, and even scientists with outstanding abilities need a lot of money.

The United States spent trillions of dollars on the "Future Warriors" program and had the best genetic engineers in the world, but it took 20 years to produce some results. It would not be possible to achieve such significant results by relying solely on individual efforts, even if the funds were used more efficiently.

Scott isn't stupid, it's just that he hasn't been able to find the right opportunity.

It wasn't until Liu Wei mentioned nuclear weapons that Scott got the opportunity.

"I'm not doubting your ability, with the assets you have, it's not a problem to get a few atomic bombs at all." Scott controlled his emotions and asked, "It's just that as far as I know, genetic modification costs much more than making an atomic bomb, so why do you do these things when you're so rich?" ”

"Mr. President, not everyone is born with a golden key in their mouth."

"What do you mean......"

"There is no doubt that I am indeed rich now, even if not the richest man in the world, but I am on the Forbes list. It's just that I wasn't that rich in the first place, and for me, money is not an end in itself. ”

"In that case, I can't believe what you say."

"Really?" Liu Wei smiled and didn't say anything.

"If we don't have even the most basic trust, how can we live together peacefully in the future?"

"Mr. President, it is not a question of whether you are willing to live together peacefully, but you must accept my proposal, otherwise you will suffer even greater losses."

"It's true that I don't have any other choice, as you said, but you also have to know that the president is not omnipotent."

Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, it seems that you have a lot of questions. ”

"I have to know why you are genetically modified and how you did it, otherwise I can't convince others that we have to give up on genetic modification."

"They don't have to believe it."

"Mr. Liu, you have to know that our law dictates that the president must obey Congress on major issues. Things have come to this point, and I also believe that you don't want these things to be made public, let alone let the whole world know that you are some reformed warriors with superpowers. In other words, it is impossible for me to tell all the MPs what I already know and get them to vote in favor of the relevant items. So I need a very good reason to convince lawmakers who don't have a very good relationship with the White House that I need to know more. ”

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully and let Scott continue.

"First of all, if you have enough money to do genetic modification, why are you trying to make money in the United States instead of doing what you want?"

"Quite simply, the money is earned step by step, not so much money in the first place."

"You mean ......"

"Like your 'Future Soldier' project, the genetic modification project led by me does not require much funding when it is launched, but gradually invests money throughout the transformation process. At this point, I also have to thank you, because it was the secret funding channels you established for the Future Soldier project that allowed me to get all the money I needed to build the Reformed Legion. ”

"Mr. Liu, I still don't understand."

"Harris, and the drug network he dominates."

Scott was secretly startled, looking incredulous.

"Believe it or not, that's the truth. Harris's drug network provides the CIA with at least $50 billion a year, much of which is spent on the Future Warriors program. As far as I know, there are a few big drug lords like Harris in the United States, and they, like Harris, are all in the service of the CIA, helping to raise money for the Future Warriors program. ”

"So you got rid of Harris and took over his drug network?"

"Basically, you can say that, and I did it better than him."

"What do you mean?"

"Before the Manhattan attacks, I had made a synthetic drug that cost a quarter of the price of cocaine and cost twice as much as cocaine. In addition, I also used the Rehabilitation Corps to lay down the entire drug sales market in the western region of the United States, and mastered the equivalent of one-third of the drug sales channels in the United States. A conservative estimate is that $10 billion is received from these sources every month. ”

"So much?"

"It's not much, it's not enough to build a reformed army of five hundred people in half a year, so I have to make a fuss about the gambling industry."

"Well, it seems that you have long since settled the source of funds, and you are already the richest person in the world."

"Mr. President, I said that money is not what I am after."

"So, can you tell me how you managed to complete the transformation before that? If a 500-strong reformed army needs 60 billion, or even more. I think that when you undergo the transformation, it must cost a lot, at least a few hundred million dollars. ”

"In fact, it's much more than that, after all, the cost of large-scale renovation is much lower than that of upfront retrofit."

Scott's brow jumped a few times, waiting for Liu Wei to continue.

"Mr. President, you must be wondering where I got this money from." Liu Wei smiled and said, "In fact, there is no secret at all, when your country is openly suppressing some countries, it is secretly attacking the idea of these countries. If I'm not mistaken, your country has at least tens of billions of dollars in Iranian assets, and the top North Korean leaders have billions of dollars in assets in your country. ”

Hearing this, not only did Scott understand, but the American officials in the rear also understood.

"What's in it for you?"

"I got what I wanted, and they got what they wanted."

"But ......"

"It's good for both parties, isn't it?"

"So, you're still serving a country."

"Mr. President, I have long said that I do not serve any country." Liu Wei smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, this can only be regarded as cooperation. ”

"So, what happened in Manhattan has anything to do with who you're working with?"

Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. President, I can't answer such a question. Either way, you have to make a decision now. ”

"You must know that I will not grant you any requests until the truth is known."

"In that case, I'll have to exclude you from decision-making."

"You ......"

"I'm not asking you, I'm asking you. Now the situation is obvious, whether to agree to our request or not, you have to think about it as soon as possible. ”

"Even if I plan to agree to your request, I will consult with others."

"The phone is here, and I believe the vice president and other officials are online." Liu Wei pointed to the telephone and said, "I'll give you fifteen minutes, and if you haven't made a decision by then, I'll have to bypass you and negotiate with the next president." ”

"You ......"

"It's not a threat, it's a fact, because you know there's no way I'm going to accompany you to Melbourne, so we've got to hurry."

In fact, even without Scott's involvement, the U.S. authorities are still discussing countermeasures.

Liu Wei's conditions are simple, but there are serious differences at the top level of the United States on whether to accept it. The most important thing is that few people believe what Liu Wei said, that is, he has a 500-strong reform army in his hands, which can turn any major city in the United States into ruins.

If this assumption is not true, then there is no benefit to be gained in reconciling with Liu Wei.

Even if this assumption is true, a reconciliation with Liu Wei will not benefit the US authorities, but will put the federal political axe in a dilemma.

You must know that the US authorities have always pursued a basic foreign policy of no compromise.

On issues concerning the fundamental interests of the country, the United States has never compromised with any adversary, especially after World War II, when the United States had a very tough foreign policy.

Is it possible to compromise with a group of enemies who destroyed Manhattan and hijacked the president?
