Chapter 36 (II) The Sheep into the Tiger's Mouth II
After more than half an hour, Charlie finally finished reading the document, then lit a cigarette and turned his chair to change directions, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Is there a video of the experiment?" β
"Yes!" "They got back the surveillance footage of the Philadelphia branch, which showed the yellow fog and showed that their employees didn't suffer any harm." β
Charlie didn't turn around either, just closed his eyes and said, "Let them transport a batch of drugs to Camden City first, and let them provide volunteers to conduct experiments locally." β
......Martin understood that the president did not want to take risks, because he was a military soldier and is now the president, and he would not let his subordinates rashly inject this drug, let alone let the American people risk trying it.
"And it has to be Japanese!" Charlie turned his chair to look at Martin, "You can't use American citizens who work in their company, that's our condition, we can't change it." β
Charlie didn't know what to say, and his words dug a big grave for the future situation......
"Good! I'll pass it on! Martin nodded slightly, "If it really works, I think you should apply to Congress......"
Charlie interrupted Martin: "Congress? Application? I don't have anyone under me, according to the law, I have to submit a candidate and then let Congress approve it, and where is Congress now? Charlie looked at Martin and pointed to the ceiling, "Now the U.S. Congress is in heaven!" Martin, do what you're supposed to do. β
Martin took a deep breath and decided to pour some cold water on Charlie so that he wouldn't have bad consequences if he didn't have a clear mind.
Martin said, "Sir, you are a soldier. Me too, most of your assistants are also military, and there are already rumors outside that the US military controls the government, and if you are not careful, the people will think that we are a military dictatorship. β
"Martin! Do you know what dictatorship is? Charlie stood up and pointed to the digital map of the United States hanging on the wall next to him, "Dictatorship is where I point to a certain location on the map and say 'stop,' and then whatever happens in that place." Even if it's a riot. It's going to be suppressed in an instant, can I? I can't, and no one can, so we're still federal. Not a dictatorship. β
Martin turned his head to glance at the map. He nodded slightly.
"Go ahead. Martin, do what you're supposed to do, and maybe the next Congressional Medal of Honor will be on your chest. Charlie sat down. On the surface, it looks quite relaxed, but in fact, the sweat oozing from the back has long soaked through the clothes.
Martin strode away with his papers, walked out of the conference room, nodded to the agents waiting on either side, and headed straight for his office. The sound of his leather shoes rattled in the hallway, and the people walking out of the way.
Martin returned to the office, closed the door and locked it, opened the safe, took out the anti-eavesdropping and anti-surveillance blocker from it, placed it in the corner and opened it.
Then, he took out a communicator from the safe, adjusted the frequency, entered the password, put the intercom on, and then pretended to sit at the desk, waiting for the communication connection to be successful. After hearing the prompt sound of the safety line being connected in the headphones, he said expressionlessly: "The plan is very smooth, and within 48 hours, this batch of drugs can be distributed to the whole United States, but it will take at least 1 month to distribute to the vast majority of the American people." β
As Martin spoke, a low laugh came from the other end of the phone, followed by the voice of the secret envoy: "Very good, you have the execution I expect, and I also expect you to manage the new America better and become a truly free world like Shangdu." β
Martin listened and laughed.
β¦β¦
An hour isn't a long time, but it can do a lot.
Within an hour, Stan and the other three rushed to the Philadelphia Police Department. Although a third of the entire police building has been burned down and almost destroyed, the server room on the ground floor is still functioning, and there are still two police officers on duty who have been frightened and have been afraid to go out.
After receiving water and food from Stan, the two thanked Dade and helped them scan the cut fingerprints, submitted them to the fingerprint database search, called up all the information, printed and bound the book, and then waited for them to rescue him.
Keane flipped through the information page by page, and soon found what the three of them had in common, and then spread out the information one by one, pointing out respectively: "These three people have all left the mainland of the United States and been stationed abroad to fight, two of them have been to Afghanistan, one has been to Iraq, and this person has been to Iraq and has been to the US military base in Okinawa for half a year. β
Stan nodded: "As long as the movements of retired soldiers cannot be found in the police database, there is no doubt that they are military secrets, and they are sealed, even if they enter the FBI's database, it is impossible to find them." β
Keane shook his head: "It's not that simple, the most important thing is that after these three people retired, they all participated in the mercenary organization, but they are all well-off people and are not short of money, one of them also has a luxury house in Los Angeles, will such a person gamble with his life?" No. β
"What's the name of the mercenary company they belong to?" Stan asked, pointing his hand down and looking down, he noticed that the mercenary companies that the three of them were working in were different, one was Blackwater International, which had changed its name and shifted its focus, and the other two were EO in South Africa and G4S in the United Kingdom.
"Something is wrong, something is so wrong." Stan looked at their information, "According to the relevant rules and contracts, it is impossible for them to provide the work arrangements and procedures during their time at the security company, but it is written in detail, which indicates that the information is fabricated and there is something hidden in it. β
"There's another way." Keane looked at Stan and said, "Let's evacuate with the information first, and go to meet with Hawke, he is a former CIA director, there should be a way to dig out the foundation of these three people." β
"Inform Tang Shu to punish them, and we will transfer immediately." Stan packs up the paperwork and turns around to see Tom coming out of the back room, with the two expectant officers standing not far behind Tom.
Tom tilted his head and asked what to do with these two men.
"Take them away, but you have to find some protective gear for them, at least gas masks, or they will be dead out of the room with the ventilation system closed." Stan ordered, and Tom nodded, and immediately left with Keane to find the gas mask and other items.
β¦β¦
Stan's voice came from the intercom of Tang Shuxing and the others, who were walking slowly on the streets, and Stan relayed the information to Tang Shuxing and the others, and then told them that they must evacuate and go to Camden City to find Hawke, investigate the background of these people in detail, and maybe dig up something else.
Tang Shuxing stopped, squatted behind a car wrapped in plastic bombs, and before he could ask, Ji Kefeng on the side preemptively said: "Is the focus of gravity wrong at the moment, what can we do if we find what these people are hiding?" β
Ji Kefeng actually said these words to Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, reminding them that their focus was to find Chi Fengyu and then infiltrate the upper echelons of Shangdu.
Stan was very unhappy to hear this, and retorted: "This is a war, any tiny detail in the war can determine victory or defeat, I wonder, is this group of people directly instructed by Shangdu, but it is estimated that it is not, according to what is happening now, Shangdu has planned this matter for more than a year or two, maybe this plan began decades ago, and how many organizations are there to assist them in implementing the plan?" What we know now, in addition to the Bafang and Yaojin that you mentioned, there is also the Zheng Guoyuan group, and maybe it is also linked to other terrorist organizations, and we have to dig them out one by one, and we must know that no matter what, it is impossible for governments to succumb to terrorist organizations. β
Stan's meaning is very clear, the information dug up can be handed over to the intelligence organizations of various countries through special channels, forcing them to join forces to eradicate the miscellaneous soldiers and pawns on the periphery of Shangdu, in other words, it is equivalent to putting pressure on Tang Shuxing and others at both ends, they are from the outside, and Tang Shuxing and others are from the inside.
"Alright, you guys go back to Camden first, but if anything goes wrong." Tang Shuxing paused at this point and glanced at the other two, "I mean, if we fail and die, you have to get out of here immediately, because the rest depends on you." β
"Crow's mouthβ" Ji Kefeng mocked in a low voice.
"Understand, the communication is temporarily interrupted, and the communication will be restored when it is safe." Stan disconnects the communication.
Tang Shuxing got up, looked ahead and said: "Now the temperature is right, almost 26 degrees Celsius, we have to hurry up and get close to Huang Yan, see that guy, and try to see if we can enter that thing's body, but we also have to be careful of the US troops who are approaching at the same time." β
Tang Shuxing's fears soon became a reality, and when they returned to the amber-wrapped Huang Yan range again, several Black Hawk helicopters were already circling in the air, as well as gunships and C-130 gunboats for cover, as most of the yellow fog was dispelled, and they could see it clearly when they looked up.
The three of them hid in a fairly stable building, slowly looked outside, and watched the soldiers in anti-chemical combat uniforms begin to collect materials on the spot, and pull up barbed wire, completely sealing off the radius of several kilometers around Huang Yan.
"Now I have company." Ji Kefeng retracted his head, "What should I do?" It's impossible to sneak in, we'll just have to wait. β
"It's okay, it's impossible for them to find out about the existence of Red Phoenix Feather." Tang Shuxing still looked at it, "Shang Du will not let them know about the existence of that thing, even if Shang Du can't completely control the United States now, it is impossible to deliberately use the strength of the US military, the only thing they can trust is us, after all, our lives are in their hands." β
"Wait and see." Gu Huaiyi nodded, "What I'm worried about is that our only helper, Guda, was restrained by the plastic sealing bomb, if that is the case, things will be even more troublesome, and in the face of that kind of thing, we don't have the slightest chance of winning."
