Chapter 179: The Beginning of the Shadows

Washington, D.C., USA.

Arlington County, Virginia, in the southwest, in a section of the Pentagonβ€”

"Cozumel in Mexico was hit by a tsunami in the middle of the night last night?"

"Without any premonition or warning, it was a sudden disaster!"

"There were heavy casualties, huge damage to property, and the entire island was submerged......"

The boss in charge of this matter frowned, and his thick dark eyebrows were raised high.

He reached out and tapped the table a few times, using this habit to attract the attention of the people in the office, and then he spoke:

"It sounds unfortunate, and I'm going to observe a minute of silence for those guys in Mexico...... But can you gentlemen, can you explain what this shit news is good for the things that our department is responsible for? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A few staff officers in the office suddenly looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

I and the others have obviously put the detailed data files and various analysis reports and descriptions on this guy's office, but this guy hastily opened it and read two pages and lost his patience?

And now ask them what exactly is in it?

Although he has known for a long time that this product is here to be gilded, and he has accepted this fact over this period of time, his attitude can't be perfunctory to such a blatant point, right?

The material is right in front of your eyes, adding up to about ten pages of A4 paper, you flip through it a few more times or simply look at the conclusion behind it will die? Immediately impatient at a glance, judging that this is not beneficial to the area for which you are responsible?

However, perhaps it is also because they have never made any achievements, after all, although such a department is set up in the Pentagon, it seems to be an important special department of the US Department of Defense and even the US military authorities.

In reality, however, they have always been semi-public official organizations in a somewhat awkward position, as the governments have chosen to do, and the current world situation has not yet reached the point of openness.

Even the official names of these departments have not really been determined, but only on an ad hoc basis.

And the most important thing is that the clues of the mysterious world are simply the dragon sees the head and the tail, even if the speed of ordinary people's actions is fast, they can't catch the tails of those extraordinary people at all, and if they finally have clues, they will be wiped out immediately-

The machine can't record it, and the human brain can't remember the impression clearly, and it is not even clear what happened to him.

If you can't grasp the clues, you can't find the main owner, and if you can't find the main owner, you have no merit and no achievements!

Therefore, their department is like a transparent person, living in a mess every day, just mechanically repeating various daily tasks, which looks more like hanging up and going through the process.

Not everyone in the Pentagon knows their department, after all, this is the office building of the U.S. Department of Defense, named after the pentagonal shape of the building, and is the world's largest single administrative building.

The total construction area reached 600,000 square meters, including 340,000 square meters of office space. About 23,000 military and civilian personnel work here, and about 3,000 non-defense volunteers serve at the Pentagon.

With so many people here, who will be able to remember all colleagues in all departments? Only the top management will know that there is such a very special department in it, but others generally don't know about it.

In fact, there are not many people who have intersections with their departments, everyone has their own things to do, and there is no time to go to the toilet, so there is no leisure to take care of other people's affairs.

So even if they can't do anything, no one knows...... But they are also elites, real elites who can enter the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense!

They don't think it's a glorious thing to eat white rice, it seems that everyone is trying to do their job well, but they are the only ones who are indiscriminately fishing in troubled waters-

The status of all missions is always "under investigation", and the final conclusion is basically "no results".

In three or five months, or even more than half a year, a few tasks cannot be accomplished, and there are even fewer real results.

Slowly, even the upper echelons are a little discouraged, although all kinds of funds have not been cut, they still have to ask people for money, and every time they want to go to various places for activities, they are also green lights, and they cooperate with all parties......

But the fact that they have not been able to get results also makes these elites feel extremely ashamed, so they are also anxious, staring everywhere with red eyes, eager to look at the world and shoot all the suspected targets one by one.

Blind cats will always come across dead mice, and they are not very efficient, so they can only rely on the number of piles up.

It's the same with the current gilded boss.,He's not really stupid.,Originally, he just came to mix up the qualifications.,Everyone and the harmony and happiness are over.,Hello, I'm good, everyone.。

I can't help but plan to keep up with the changes! His initial idea was indeed good, but as time went on, he didn't even get the results he could get, and no amount of patience was worn out.

He's here to gild, why did the situation change to sit on a cold bench?

……

……

"Because this tsunami was so unusual, it didn't have any warning, and we didn't have time to give any warning, it suddenly flooded the island of Kozumel......"

probably understood the boss's experience for most of the past six months, and also understood that it was impossible for him and others to leave each other aside in this matter, so the staff officers could only explain patiently.

"The authorities did not observe the earthquake in Haiti, or the eruption of volcanoes, landslides, etc., and the cause of the tsunami was completely unknown, so it was as if it were a ...... It seems to be ......"

After a pause for a long time, as if he really couldn't think of any adjectives, the staff officer blushed and could only hastily come to a conclusion:

"Anyway, in our opinion, this should also be a mysterious phenomenon, the kind that cannot be explained by current science, and it can also be proved by multi-faceted intelligence verification......"

"Multifaceted intelligence verification? Are you sure? ”

The minister couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then without waiting for an answer, he shook his head again, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, as if he was very irritable, just forcibly suppressing his emotions.

"Forget it, since you say so, you should be completely sure...... But I just want to ask, this time it's not going to be another flutter, right? ”

He also knew that every clue was precious, and he also knew that every mysterious phenomenon had to be treated with caution, but so many disappointments really gradually eroded all his expectations.

If he knows how to do it and fails, then if he continues to do it, isn't he constantly adding the number of failed tasks to his resume?

Five mission failures are not pretty, so why do you have to add them to ten?

Is it because two digits look better than one digits?

It's just that this kind of thought can only be thought of, the unlucky minister's mind flashed through the mixed thoughts, and then quickly made a decision, he looked at the staff officers in front of him, and said:

"Go on, is there any other key information?"

Several staff officers were looking at each other, with a hesitant look on their faces, after all, they were not fish with only seven seconds of memory, and they really couldn't bear it again and again.

So no one dared to pack a ticket and say that this time it would definitely succeed, and no one dared to make such a military order-

The guy who used to think that he was ready to get his hands and always wanted to rely on this way to fight for a chance to perform, he didn't know where he was sent to for a long time.

However, the boss took the initiative to skip this difficult question, and they instantly lifted their spirits.

"Yes! According to the clues that our intelligence services have, the remnants of the Holy Trinity have been operating in Kozumel recently......"

"That's right, they recruited local workers, excavated the relics of the Aztec civilization, and bribed the local government and media to control public opinion......

"But just last night, they seemed to have succeeded, and CIA agents sent a message that they had suddenly eliminated all the local workers they had recruited, and that they had removed the mercenaries' privileges and killed them before they could react......"

"Our local agents judged that it was time to close the net, and they began to act...... However, then there was a sudden tsunami, which directly submerged Kozumel. ”

A few staff officers quickly conveyed the key information, and in just a minute or two, the boss figured out a general situation.

Trinity is a very old organization and a very good at causing trouble, but it is also one of the CIA's key targets. After all, this ancient organization has always been dedicated to unearthing ancient ruins and tracing myths and legends from around the world.

Although the operation in Mexico is more like the desperate gamble of the remnants of the remnants after they have suddenly been purged by the forces of terror, they must also be kept an eye on.

Anyway, they don't have any other more reliable sources, so it's better to keep an eye on the Holy Trinity, if the other party really excavates something, they will pick the peaches directly, isn't that the most ideal situation?

And the previous intelligence also said that they were excavating the ruins of the Aztec civilization, trying to find something mysterious that could reshape the world, so the United States would consider not doing it all the time, but preparing to play a trick of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

It's just that now it seems that the situation is a little out of control-

No one knew what Trinity had succeeded, and although the local CIA agents made a judgment and acted immediately, no one knew what happened after that.

Now Kozumel has been hit by a sudden tsunami, and the entire island has been submerged and has lost contact with the outside world.

According to the information gathered from the key personnel of the Holy Trinity, it is said that they want to find a power that can reshape the world, but if it is not used properly, it will also cause a catastrophe of destruction......

It's hard not to associate this information with this perverse tsunami, and those guys are afraid that they didn't really find something and managed to mess it up.

"If that's the case, then this matter may not be a matter that belongs to our department alone......

The corners of the minister's mouth twitched, he just needed to produce results, but he didn't want to play so big.
