"Bang!"

In the Pentagon, the wooden door of the satellite central control room was violently opened!

The staff who was processing the data subconsciously looked out the door.

And the person in charge who just wanted to take a sip of coffee and take a break almost scolded! Because almost all that piping hot coffee was sprinkled on him!

Would he have been frightened if the door hadn't been violently opened? Would his hands have shaken if he hadn't been frightened? If it's not hand shaking......

With the good qualities cultivated over the years, the person in charge took a few deep breaths in his seat and wanted to wipe it with a tissue.

Afterwards...... He'll let that damn guy know what the hell this is! Can you hit the door at will? Why don't you go to the White House across the street?!

"Jones!"

The voice is hoarse but not old, but the words are full of anger, and the short surname makes the person in charge's eyelids jump!

This voice Jones is really clear to him, it is the voice of his direct boss, Secretary of Defense Mattis!

Jones could swear that if this kind of direct name was used as a wake-up bell, he would never be late for work again!

The tissue was only halfway up, and Jones only had time to wipe it around his body. Fortunately, the suit is dark in color, and the lights in the central control room are dim, so if you don't look carefully, you can't see the stains on the coffee.

Jones quickly stood up, and the chair slid backwards and slammed into the corner of the table on the other side. trotted over, and when he saw Matisse, who had slightly gray hair but was still strong, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Ministry....... Minister, what are you looking for me? ”

Speaking a little stammering, Jones was so nervous that he couldn't do it, he seemed to be back in elementary school, trembling under the reprimand of his parents and teachers!

He can't be blamed for that! It's really Matisse's gaze that is too terrifying! That kind of look that seems to be about to eat people...... Whoever sees it will tremble!

When Matisse saw the person in charge in front of him, he sneered, pinched a stack of documents in his hand, and shook it vigorously on the other party's chest!

"Any idea what this is?"

Jones didn't dare to speak, only looked down at the ground, not having the courage to look at Matisse.

"This is the 'report letter' submitted to me by the army!"

"That's right! Don't look at me like that, you might not believe me, because these things are meant to report you! ”

"Lift...... Report me? Jones was dumbfounded, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, feeling incredible.

Looking at the thick stack of "report letters," Jones' eyelids couldn't help twitching, and he said stubbornly: "Minister, I haven't been in office for a long time, so many report letters...... Should be...... Mistaken, right? ”

I saw Minister Matisse nod, and Jones just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, when he was hit in the chest by an A4 piece of paper!

"Yours! Yours! It's still yours! ”

Mattis flipped through the "whistleblower letters" one by one, and even though some of the documents did not explicitly identify Jones, they were very secretive...... It's all a problem that arises in the satellite control room.

Jones scrambled to sort through the papers that Mattis had thrown at him, flipping through the top one.

First of all, I said hello to Secretary Mattis, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Then explain the approximate event, no problem.

After that...... Just point the finger at everything...... The person in charge of the satellite central control room?!

Jones's face twitched up and down, and he glanced at the date, which was indeed after his own inauguration. Illustrate...... This document is indeed "Report him!" ”

He hurriedly flipped through some other papers, and most of the contents were similar, almost all of them were aimed at him.

Jones felt a chill behind him, and his mind quickly recalled which big guy he had offended recently.

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and even the tip of his nose was oozing from his pores.

The wind was blowing, and Jones looked up to see that it was the minister who had walked past him and walked to the chair.

Jones kept his head down and honestly followed Mattis.

Although the people in the satellite control room were curious, few people looked this way, if they were remembered by the big guy and given the impression that they were not doing their jobs, then his future would almost come to an end.

No one came to clean up the coffee on the floor, and Matisse frowned, pulled his chair over at random, and sat down.

The wrinkled eyes were completely devoid of the twilight of the elderly, and the light that flashed from them from time to time proved that the defense minister's mind was dense enough.

The upper body did not lean back, but sat straight! But it's not intentional, it's all so natural.

"You know what's going on, right?"

Jones nodded, looking at a few documents, he pretty much knew the general situation.

It is nothing more than an unknown blow to the military base under the military Admiral Brown, and their satellite central control room did not give early warning.

As may sound, it does take a backstabber to step up.

Admiral Brown is impossible, he won't even throw out a single man from his own faction!

Jones already knew that he was the backstabber and scapegoat chosen by the bigwigs.

It's not too big, it's not too small, and it's stress-free to deal with. The only thing worth noting ...... They dealt with themselves, but they slapped Minister Matisse in the face!

Don't care if it rings or not, the beam is finished. It is estimated that the "lamb" on the military side has also been selected, and it should be the same as him, the position is neither high nor low, and he is the easiest person to take the blame.

Jones couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, he struggled for so long, and finally sat in this position, but his ass was pushed off before he could cover the heat......

And this stain will accompany him throughout his political career.

Seeing that Jones didn't speak, Mattis's heart was furious, his previous subordinate of the satellite central control room had just been suggested by the president to write, and he had not been here for many days, and he was treated as an outcast by those bullshit things!

The key is that someone does need to take the blame for this matter, which Mattis sees very thoroughly, and other candidates are not absent, but no one is as good as Jones's position.

Although the reason is far-fetched, it is quite reasonable!

The president needs to explain, Congress needs to explain, and this is simply not something that Mattis can turn around on his own.

"Alas! ～”

Matisse sighed and rubbed his temple with his right thumb.

Even without opening his eyes, Mattis knew Jones was watching him.

"First of all, take the satellite surveillance photos that day, and focus on the destroyed military base under Brown."

Looking up at Jones, "I heard it's all turned into an 'artificial lake'!" And the scenery is beautiful, and you can't see the ruins at all. ”

When Jones heard this, he withdrew a smile that was more ugly than crying, and sorted out a pile of "report letters" on the table, while he himself used his authority, and the documents taken by satellite surveillance that day gradually appeared on the big screen.

Matisse's head tilted slightly, and the blue light shone on his old face, if it weren't for those shining eyes, it is estimated that everyone would think that he was an old man who was easy to bully.

With his arms on his chair, he leaned forward slightly, his hands crossed.

There is no problem with satellite surveillance to take pictures.

They didn't catch the shadow of the mysterious weapon, and the military base that was fine one moment was completely destroyed the next!

The earth cracked, and even buried all the breath of civilization.

Both photos are blurry, and the difference between the before and after shots is very short, but the difference between the front and back of the same place is shocking.

Mattis secretly measured in his heart, the power of that mysterious weapon, even reminded him of a small-yield nuclear bomb!

But a small-yield nuclear bomb can't blow up such a deep crater, and it doesn't cause any pollution to the surrounding area.

"Jones, pull those two pictures out separately. Yes, that's it, zoom in, zoom in again, okay. ”

The fingers crossed together loosened, then clamped tightly.

The picture is even more blurry when zoomed in, and you can only see a general situation.

Of course, this is shooting outside of Earth's low earth orbit, which is obviously very unrealistic if you want to achieve the effect of a high-definition camera.

"Jones, look at the satellite code name and model number of the photograph."

Jones, who was operating the computer, was stunned, completely unable to understand what the minister meant. But he still obeyed the order and dug out the satellite code name from the computer file.

A 3D simulated satellite appeared on the big screen, and although there was a mark on the bottom, Jones subconsciously read it out.

"Codename: Moon Eye Change; Model:YUI—138D......"

"Stop, stop! What is the name of the shooting satellite? ”

Jones reached out and scratched the back of his head, "Minister, it's Mooneye Change." ”

"Moon's Eye, Change?" Matisse frowned, the name familiar to him.

"Smack!"

Matisse clapped his hands, and his face appeared inexplicably excited, "Jones, I'm looking to see if its predecessor is called 'Moon Eye'." ”

Jones felt inexplicable, since they were all called 'Moon Eye Change', the predecessor must have been called 'Moon Eye'.

Could it be that this 'moon eye' has other functions?

Jones was a second-hand monk who was confused, so he had to follow Matisse's orders to gather information.

Licking his dry lips, "Minister, its predecessor is indeed called 'Moon Eye'. ”

Mattis had such an expression on his face, and then asked, "Is the launch date just recent?" ”

Jones subconsciously looked at the date, "Yes Minister, this satellite has not been in service in space for more than a month. ”

Turning his head to look at the minister sitting in the chair, Jones's heart couldn't help jumping, and he asked tentatively, "You mean, there is a problem with this satellite?" ”

Matisse narrowed his eyes slightly, like a venomous snake entrenched in his body, waiting for the best time to attack.

"I've never said that. However, this satellite is directly modified through the 'Eye of the Moon' itself. ”

"Old-fashioned satellite reuse?" Jones asked.

"That's not going to happen." Mattis looked away from the big screen, "Do you know why the previous head of the satellite control room resigned?" ”

"Things are messed up?"

Matisse smiled, "A large part of the reason is in this 'moon eye'!" ”

Jones twitched the corner of his eyes and looked at the 3D simulated satellite on the big screen, as if he had seen a flood beast!

"If there's a problem, put it on...... How scarce is military spending?! ”

The complaint was approved by Mattis, and the ghost knows why the annual military expenditure is so huge, but it is unknown how many places are used on the blade.

"Are you sure this satellite is supervising a military base?"

"Pretty sure, Minister!"

"There are no other satellites around, right?"

"Uh...... Judging from the situation at that time, there were satellites of other countries in the periphery. ”

Mattis waved his hand and motioned for Jones not to care, "As long as it's not from our United States." ”

Jones didn't answer, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the minister's gourd, and it had been going on for a long time, did he want to take the blame for him with this matter?

With a frown, Jones knew very well that if he was to stick to this, he would still be deposed, at best he would look better on his face, and the stain would be kept as small as possible, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would still be able to continue his political career.

Thinking of this, Jones breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't in the worst situation, he was a little too greedy now.

Matisse suddenly turned his head to look at Jones, who was thinking about something, "Pick up those materials and come to the office with me." ”

With that, Matisse stood up and walked out the door.

Jones hurriedly turned off the information materials, and after picking up the pile of "whistleblowing letters", trotted to keep up with Matisse.

The heart was beating violently, and the palms of the hands were even trembling slightly.

Jones stood at Mattis's desk, trying to make himself a little more natural.

Mattis took the stack of papers and laughed as he tossed them aside, "Listen, Jones. My last person in charge of the satellite central control room was tricked by unknown hackers, and he resigned without knowing what to do. Of course, his superb skills have been recognized by the president, and perhaps he will make a living from writing in the future. Do you want to know what he wrote? ”

"What is written?"

Jones asked subconsciously.

Mattis put his hands on the table, habitually crossed together, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's just that the report handed over to the president is too outrageous, but the president also praises him as a seedling of a master of science fiction in the new century." ”

Jones reacted, estimating that the report written by the previous head was not as good as he imagined, but ......

"The President praised the reports he wrote, which were comparable to Harry Potter, the pinnacle of science fiction!"

"What, Minister...... Harry Potter is magic."

Mattis raised an eyebrow, "Yes, I said that to the president at the time, and I even suspect that the president has not watched Harry Potter at all." ”

Jones only smiled dryly, and in his position, he would not tease the president at will.

"Okay." Mattis seemed to be in a good mood, "Having said all this, I just want to tell you that the report can't be written too outrageously." The subordinates were transferred away one by one, to be honest, I thought I was being targeted by some brainless again! ”

"When you write your report, you're going to throw dirty water on Brown and the follow-up...... Everything has me. ”

Jones was sweating profusely, and he would normally be told to throw dirt on Admiral Brown...... He doesn't have the guts, although there is a big guy behind him now, but he still has a lot of psychological pressure.

"By the way, to tell you one thing, that 'Mooneye Change' is what Brown insisted on launching."
