CHAPTER 256: GIJOE ATTACKS
"Good morning, Ms. Charlotte, you're a little late in calling," Martin Walker said after the call was connected, seeing Charlotte Millen on the screen.
"Martin Walker, Sheffield, what the hell are you trying to do? You are treason, do you know treason? Lady Charlotte opened her mouth and rebuked angrily, "We already know about your private dealings with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and now that he has surrendered, you still don't surrender?" ”
On the other side, Martin Walker and General Sheffield couldn't help but change their faces when they heard that the Speaker of the House had been arrested, because the Speaker of the House of Representatives had a great role in their plans, and now that the other party had been arrested, it seemed that their plans were going to be changed.
"We know exactly what we're doing, we don't need you to remind Ms. Charlotte," after a pause, Martin glanced at Sheffield, who was sitting across from him, and then continued, "You know, we control the entire White House, and we have 371 hostages."
"Martin, what the hell are you going to do?" Before Martin could finish speaking, his former subordinate, Ms. Carroll of the Secret Service, leaned over and asked on the phone.
"Hi Carol, now is not the time to catch up, let's talk less nonsense, it's better to do business" Seeing Carol, Martin's face changed slightly.
"Official? You killed your own men! Where is Ted? Carol said incredulously, the Ted she was talking about was also a member of the Secret Service, and in the entire Secret Service, Martin and Carol and Ted used to be the best friends.
"Killing Tate is the second hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but it's not for the sake of our cause," Martin said in a deep voice.
Martin ...... I want you," Carol said after a moment's silence, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Martin.
"That's enough, Carol, everything you're going to say next was given to you by me before, now let's get straight to the point and get things sorted out as soon as possible, okay?" Martin said a little irritablely, "Now, ask me what I want!" ”
"Okay, Martin Walker, what do you want?" It was Ms. Charlotte who replied.
"That's right, General Sheffield, come on," Martin nodded in satisfaction, and then handed the microphone to Sheffield in front of him.
"Hello, Ms. Charlotte, let me make a long story short, in the decades that I have been in the army, there have been thousands of subordinates who, for various reasons, have sacrificed their lives for their country in the course of overseas missions, but have not been recognized, no medals, no compensation, not even a military funeral, this is unbearable, so my request is very simple, you transfer a billion dollars from the Red Sea Trading Company to my designated account, and I will give this money to the families of those sacrificed soldiers, as well as my subordinates, I said it clearly enough?" General Sheffield said.
"Wait, and," Martin Walker added, "I know there's over $400 million in cash every day in the Federal Reserve, and you're all going to put that money in a C17 transport plane, and you just need plenty of fuel, and then you can stop on runway 19, no tricks, we've got control of the air command center, and we'll know every move you make, and if I find any snipers within ten miles of you, I'll kill all the cabinet members, plus a useless secretary of homeland security." ”。
$400 million in cash is not a small amount, a $100 new bill weighs 1.05 grams, if all are $100 in cash, it is at least four tons heavier...... So in fact, robbing a bank is really not very profitable, because the number is less boring, and the number is too much, you may not be able to move, not a gang crime, one person can rob a hundred and ten thousand...... The premise is that the bank has so much money for you to rob.
"Wait, I know the Fed's money, but what is this Red Sea Trading Company?" After listening to the other party's request, Ms. Charlotte couldn't help but wonder.
And hearing this question, General Bricks, the highest-ranking general in the command, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"That's the Pentagon's illegal arms sales of underground funds, as well as order rebates from various arms companies" Hearing Ms. Charlotte's question, General Sheffield replied quickly, and Ms. Charlotte, who heard the answer, also understood this time, it turned out to be a small treasury of the military, but this is normal, in fact, every department, especially various military intelligence departments, this situation exists, but it is not as fat as the military.
"Okay, I can promise you all these conditions, but you have to ensure the safety of the president and all the dignitaries," Charlotte decisively agreed.
"You have two hours, or we'll execute everyone on the South Lawn of the White House." Sheffield finally said and hung up.
"Oh my God, a Secret Service chief, a military general," she hung up, and Ms. Charlotte covered her forehead with a sense of detachment.
"They can't ask for money, it's just an excuse to stall for time." At this time, Norman Osborne handed a document to Charlotte and said, "Martin Walker was diagnosed with cancer last week, and he only has three months to live, and he doesn't need any money at all."
"And what kind of Red Sea trading company, that's the military's money, and the Minister of Defense and quite a few generals are in their hands, and they don't need to go through us at all," Carol of the Secret Service also analyzed.
"Ahem, that's not it, in fact, the money is not in the hands of the military itself, but in the fund accounts of Osborne Industries, Stark Industries, Hammer Industries, and other arms companies, and the Secretary of Defense alone can't withdraw the money," General Bricks explained with some embarrassment.
"Ahem, there is indeed such a thing, but the Osborne Group only provides investment custody business for the military, and is not involved in illegal arms sales" Norman Osborne hurriedly added to clarify the relationship, although this matter is actually not a big deal, but it is not good to say.
"Don't worry, I don't think anyone will pursue this matter, but even so, I don't think they are just for money, more than a billion dollars, with such a strong military strength of the rebels, it is better to go to the Middle East to kidnap a few royal families quickly." Carol said...... This kind of unspoken rule involves too much, and whoever goes out of his way to pursue it is a fool.
"You're right, they're on a suicide mission, and maybe they didn't even want to leave the White House, but we didn't want to compromise at all," Charlotte concluded, and then asked Norman Osborne on the side, "Mr. Osborne, can you be sure that the president is safe and secure?" ”
"Of course, ma'am, I assure you that Mr. President and those two valiant citizens are all very safe," Norman Osborne said with great confidence, "and to be honest, I can't believe that a member of Oscom's immature Super Soldier program could be involved in this matter. ”
"Inside?" "Super soldiers?" The words that appeared in Norman Osborne's mouth once again caused waves in the command.
"It's all quiet !!" Ms. Charlotte stopped the commotion in the command in time and then asked General Brix. "General Colton, have they been deployed?"
"Yes ma'am, General Colton and our Autobot allies are deployed and ready to go," Brix said hurriedly.
"VERY WELL, IN THAT CASE, LET'S GET STARTED" MS. CHARLOTTE GAVE THE FINAL ORDER TO ATTACK, THE SO-CALLED NEGOTIATIONS WERE JUST FOR GIJOE'S DEPLOYMENT, TO BUY TIME, AND NOW, IT IS REALLY TIME TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
"Alright, guys, it's time for us to behave, are you ready?" As Ms. Charlotte's order was given, in a hidden corner northwest of the White House, General Colton, wearing second-generation power armor and fully armed, boarded a Osbourne light assault vehicle, the latest model produced by Osben, in a container truck, holding his weapon, and then said in the communication channel.
SIMILAR CONTAINER TRUCKS, IN ALL CORNERS OF THE WHITE HOUSE, ARE MORE THAN A DOZEN, AND ALL OF THEM ARE SCATTERED WITH ELITE AUTOBOT FIGHTERS AND GIJOE SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIERS.
"A detachment is in place" To the east, the headlights of a truck flashed, and Optimus Prime replied in a calm voice.
To the south of "the second detachment is in place", the same truck head is lit up, and the voice of the sky is heard in the channel.
"The third team is in place," replied Major Lennox from his large iron cab.
"The Thunder Rescue Team is ready to come out at any time," the partition replied with several Thunder Rescue Team members in a dark garage.
"Very well, fender twins, you can go" As Colton's words fell, a dilapidated ice cream truck, with ugly music, swayed across the blockade and headed towards the White House under the gaze of the National Guard and the media on the perimeter blockade......
