The location has limited access to television, but it can still meet the needs of several major news channels, and in another live news program, the two hosts are analyzing the attack on a merchant ship that occurred on the high seas last night, Tim points to the TV, and then to Mike, who is not sure why, and Mike stares at the TV and listens to a few words, and then froze.

"What's going on? Where did these media get such detailed information? Who revealed our actions to the media? So fast? ”

Mike was stunned.

"That's exactly what I want to ask you, my phone was about to burst this morning, the director first scolded me, and then the Pentagon and the assistant secretary of state bombarded me in turn, and they asked me to clarify this matter, but this is not the biggest trouble, the biggest trouble is the Chinese you are inquiring about, where is he now?"

"He was in another tent, he was frightened when we brought him over, we arranged for him to rest over there, and we also asked the doctor to check on him, and the doctor said he was fine, what? How could he be a problem? It was we who rescued him. ”

"Rescue? That's your rhetoric, others don't see it that way, you can take me to meet him now. ”

Tim's count of thunder and fireworks made Mike a little confused, he couldn't imagine how it had only been a few hours since Lewis and the others returned to this secret training camp after the attack, and such an extremely secret operation could be known to the whole world.

Feng Shaolan's complexion was much better than when he was brought back last night, when Tim and the others came in, Feng Shaolan, who was sitting cross-legged on the marching bed, only looked up at them, then lowered his eyes and bowed his head silently, no matter how Mike asked, Feng Shaolan just didn't say a word.

"Mike? Mike? Are you in there? ”

With this questioning, Lewis broke into the tent with the curtain raised, and seeing that Tim was inside, Lewis said 'sorry' and was about to leave.

"What's the matter?"

Without waiting for Mike to speak, Tim asked directly.

"Sorry boss, this is playing on TV, you need to take a look."

Tim and Mike glanced at each other, then followed Lewis briskly towards an open tent, in the center of which there was a simple table made of various ammunition boxes, and a TV on it was playing live interviews, Steve and several people who had participated in the operation last night were sitting around watching, and when Tim and Mike came over, Steve got up and moved out of the way.

"Spokesman, is it true that there is a source that among the dead and wounded on the cargo ship that was attacked were crew members sent by the Chinese side?"

"May I ask the speaker, this is rumored to be a covert operation launched by the CIA and the Mi Army Marines, what do you think about this?"

"Can you confirm the identity of the hostage who was taken? Why did he appear on that cargo ship? If it turns out that the CIA planned the operation, then why did they take the Chinese man? ”

……

Judging from the background of the picture, this is a press conference set up in mainland China, and as soon as the spokesperson stepped into the press conference hall, the reporters below threw out all kinds of questions, except for a few Chinese reporters, the vast majority of the rest were reporters from Western media.

The spokesman looked coldly at everything in front of him, and only after the noise below had died down did he speak:

"Fellow journalists, there will be no question session at today's temporary press conference, and we will just make a few statements on the news we have just received."

There was silence in the press gallery.

"This morning, major news media reported one after another that a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship was attacked by unknown armed men on the high seas, the attack caused many casualties, and some people were hijacked by armed hijacking, and it is alleged that there were Chinese casualties on the attacked cargo ship......

Speaking of this, the spokesman glanced up at the dozen or so Chinese and foreign reporters standing in the press room, and he paused to raise everyone's attention:

"First of all, China firmly opposes and condemns those acts of banditry that wantonly trample on international norms of conduct, regardless of organization or individual, attacking merchant ships of other countries on the high seas is itself expressly prohibited by international law, which undermines the normal maritime order and guarantees of passage, and is an unacceptable barbaric act."

"Second, China will assign a special working group to cooperate with the international maritime authorities to investigate this incident, search for relevant evidence, restore the truth of the matter, and find the missing persons."

"Finally, the Chinese government will maintain a high degree of attention to the progress of this incident, express condolences to the families of the victims, and ask everyone to believe that the Chinese government has the ability and obligation to ensure that the lives of our overseas Chinese and expatriate workers are not violated, which is a solemn commitment to the Chinese people all over the world, thank you."

The spokesman ignored the noise from the press gallery and turned to leave.

On the TV screen, a live broadcast reporter gave his own brief analysis of the speaker's explanation to the camera.

Tim, Mike and the others standing around the TV looked at each other, and everyone knew very well that this secret operation was suddenly put into the sun.

"Who the fuck got the news out there, and how did they know in such detail? Among those who were killed, how could there be Chinese? Somebody must be making a fuss, and I'm going to find out the source right away. ”

Mike was visibly stunned by the sudden news report.

"Mike, you need to calm down, do you want to know why the Chinese side is in a hurry to make a statement this time? I'll show you this, and you'll be clear. ”

Tim said and took out a pile of printed materials from his briefcase and handed it to Mike, Mike saw at a glance that the Chinese in the center of the materials was the person Lewis and others brought back from that ship last night, he quickly skimmed the content of the text, looked at Tim on the side with some disbelief and asked:

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this information?"

"What I can be sure of is that, judging from the series of actions taken by the Chinese side so far, they have come to their own judgment and have verified this matter with us through diplomatic channels. In normal times, we can ignore the attitude of the Chinese side, and the person who was brought back is also of great use to us, but now the situation is different, Washington has already drawn up a timetable for the attack against Iran, and is trying to seek support from China and Russia. ”

Tim's series of messages threw Mike, who was still in high spirits, into a state of confusion, and he was a little overwhelmed by the upheavals that had taken place in the intervening hours.
