Chapter 67: Letting Sin Go (1) The excuse is far-fetched
At the scene of the attack on the convoy outside the town of Xhaka, after talking to Mike, Carl Lewis limped up to Steve:
"Steve, you bring people up right now, you have to try to intercept those people and get that computer back, we need to know what information is in there."
Seeing that Steve's men had already gotten the off-road vehicle up from under the roadbed, Lewis urged.
"Don't worry, I'll take people up, rescuers will arrive here soon, can you still hold on?"
"I'm fine, you can go quickly."
Seeing Steve lead the people away, Lewis dialed Mike again:
"Mike, can you find the exact location of that bomb? We don't have much time, so we're going to send someone there right away to remove the bomb. ”
On the other end of the phone, Mike and the others were in a hurry.
Several technicians were in a hurry, and finally some of the monitoring equipment was back in operation.
"Sir, I've determined the exact location of that bomb box, it's just outside of Holkek, I've just checked, that location should be a refugee relief site now, and we should immediately notify the members of our crisis management team to rush there with the relevant equipment, and the bomb box should be found soon according to the radiation value."
The re-established location link quickly pinpointed the exact location of the bomb box, and Bobby informed his superior, Colonel Charles, of the location.
"Very good, I'm going to call the commander of the war zone, and ask the crisis management team to get there immediately, you and your team have to work harder, and let the normal satellite image transmission here resume as soon as possible, we can't lose the target."
Colonel Charles told Bobby to turn around and walk quickly out of the makeshift command post.
"Bobby, I need you to find out the evacuation route of those people and the current location of our pursuit team as soon as possible, we must not let these people escape out of our control, and besides, is that base station still working?"
Mike is more concerned about the progress of Steve and the other attack teams at the moment, and the positioning system that has returned to normal shows that the teams of Steve, Doug and Bryan are converging in the same position from different directions.
"The positioning display can already know the current location of our team members, but it will take some time for the real-time satellite transmission images to be restored, we are working on it, according to the radar scans, the base station is still working in the resort, and it should still be providing technical support to those people, but I can no longer use technical means to attack there, those people must have taken precautions, and taking risks again will make the situation here worse."
Bobby pointed to the computer screen and explained to Mike.
"Damn, if I catch these people, I'm going to teach them a good lesson."
As he spoke, Lewis's call came in again:
"Mike, Steve, they've gone up, Doug, Brian and the local police have also set up checkpoints on the road, I believe it won't be long before there is a result, how are you there?"
"I'm a mixed bag here, the good news is that the surveillance system here is being restored, the bomb has been locked onto its exact location and is being dispatched to deal with it, the bad news is that we don't see where the attackers are at the moment, it will take some time to fully restore the transmission of images from satellite scans in that area, and besides, the base station that supports our adversaries is still working, but none of us can get there quickly to deal with the threat,."
At this point, Mike couldn't help but curse again.
"Tell me the exact location, I'll go over now."
Carl-Lewis made the decision almost without hesitation, and the proposal immediately made Mike feel like this:
"You passed? Can you? ”
"I'm fine, I still have two commandos here to get to that position with me, this base station is too much of a threat to us, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible."
While Lewis was talking to Mike, he had seen two police cars in the distance coming towards him.
"It's best if you can go over, but be careful, we suffered a lot last time."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful, I'll let the local police go with us."
By this time, the two police cars had already driven in front of Lewis, and an officer was walking towards him.
Lewis was able to rush over to dispose of the base station that had caused them so much trouble, which made Mike breathe a sigh of relief, and he could devote more energy to the disposal of the bomb box and the encirclement of the gang, but before Mike could catch his breath, Colonel Charles, who had just returned here, broke out into a violent conflict with Tim, who had not spoken much.
"Bobby, I have already reported our findings to the theater commander, and now the crisis management team is assembling, you immediately pass on the specific location information to the team members, and we will focus our efforts on dealing with this crisis as a priority."
As soon as Colonel Charles returned to the command room, he gave instructions to Bobby.
"Yes, priority for the bomb crisis."
Bobby reiterates Colonel Charles' orders and begins to establish a data connection with the members of the crisis team.
No one noticed that Tim, the head of the CIA Intelligence Division and Mike's boss who had been silently watching all this in the room just now, stepped forward at this time, he did not speak, but reached out and closed the work computer in front of Bobby, and Bobby looked stunned.
"Captain, the crisis management team can let them wait for a while, or do what Mike arranged just now, and it is our top priority to take down the working base station and quickly capture those dangerous elements who are fleeing to the mountains."
"What?"
"Why?"
Colonel Charles's questioning and the surprised look that came from all directions Tim heard it in his ears and saw it in his eyes, but he was unmoved, and Mike, who had just finished talking to Lewis, was also very puzzled, and after a moment's hesitation, Mike still leaned in front of Tim and whispered:
"Tim, why? I know the threat to us from those people and the base station, but the work here can support us to operate in several directions at the same time, and the fact that the crisis management team is going to deal with the bomb does not affect the progress of the capture mission on our side, so why suspend the operation on that side? ”
Although Mike's voice was soft, in such a small room, the people standing around the two of them could still hear Mike's doubts word for word, and Mike also spoke the hearts of everyone in the room.
"We can't be 100% sure that the bomb was set to detonate in two hours, and if Karl gets the wrong message, our soldiers will be in a situation from which no one wants to recover."
Tim's explanation is far-fetched and blunt.
