Chapter 397: The Roosevelt Family
How long does it take to go from being a hero to stealing a living?
It was not the 12 hours that the interrogators said, because Pablo resisted for 1 hour.
Thirteen hours after the injection, Pablo gave data such as the orbital parameters of the space-based weapon satellite, which he could not remember, of course, but he kept the hard drive in which it was stored in a private safe at a Swiss bank.
Major General Nick put the bag of white powdery object in his hand on the table in front of Pablo, looking at Pablo like crazy, Major General Nick actually had a very cool feeling.
Although he can be ruthless and not care about the loss in the last operation, it does not mean that he does not hate Pablo.
If it weren't for Pablo, how could he have fallen under such tremendous pressure as he is now?
Even if all the data such as the orbital parameters of space-based weapons and satellites obtained after a while are correct, his actions this time have left two stains on him.
The first was of course the death of an entire combat squad, although no one could have imagined that Pablo would blow up the entire base despite the lives of hundreds of his men, or even that he was in the base. But the loss has appeared after all, and more than 20 lives can definitely be regarded as a stain on Major General Nick.
The second, naturally, injected Pablo with drugs, turning Pablo from a drug dealer into a drug addict. On the surface, this is the retribution that Pablo deserves, but before Pablo's interests are squeezed out, his behavior is definitely a stain.
Even if he is shot hundreds of times, it is not enough to atone for his sins, and when he has benefits, there are many people who are willing to give him treatment far beyond ordinary people, this is the power of interests.
Leaving the interrogation room, Major General Nick no longer regarded Pablo as a hero, and Pablo, who only lasted an hour and couldn't wait to complete the second injection, will be a waste from now on.
The value of what he has left is the $250 billion wealth he holds.
"If we find out the $2,500, can we make them ignore that we injected Pablo with drugs?"
Major General Nick's adjutant asked worriedly, he had just arranged for someone to go to Switzerland to get the hard drive.
Major General Nick shook his head and said: "Actually, compared to Pablo's connections in Colombia, or the handles he has, $250 billion is really nothing. ”
Major General Nick knows very well what the people above him think of the world, and what their purpose for the world is. People like Pablo are able to control Colombia to a certain extent, and even mobilize the Colombian Defense Forces to protect him, so what if the United States has those handles?
But the premise of mastering those handles is that Pablo has always lived, always lived.
This is also the reason why Major General Nick has not made up his mind until now to use all means to dig up information from Pablo's mouth.
Previously, he was ordered to obtain useful information from Pablo's mouth on the premise of ensuring Pablo's life and health.
The adjutant asked, "But ...... credit for our work?"
Major General Nick waved his hand and said, "Some people never care about what kind of credit you have achieved before, for them, you are only useful when you need you, and when you have credit, it means that you have met their needs." That is, they don't need you anymore. ”
While Major General Nick was teaching his lieutenant, several black suits walked into the interrogation room.
"General Nick, we are from the NSA, and by order, we need to take Pablo."
Major General Nick was not surprised at all, but felt that it was a little faster, which showed that there were people from other forces within SHSD. This is also normal, the time for SHSD to go from zero to some is too short, and many people are transferred from other departments, so there will naturally be eyeliner from other departments.
After signing the order, Major General Nick left the interrogation room, facing the NSA, which has direct access to the US National Security Council and the president, even the US Department of Homeland Security, which has a lot of authority, is a little inferior, let alone him, SHSD, which has just been established not long ago?
Back in his office, Major General Nick received an encrypted phone call and was scolded.
“…… If you can get this information with Pablo intact, then we don't need to bother with the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security from now on, but you're letting me down. ”
"Your position can be kept, but SHSD's privilege escalation failed this time, I hope that there will be no more mistakes in future actions, do you understand what I mean?"
After being scolded, Major General Nick breathed a sigh of relief, because the last words of the person who called him were important to him. As long as the position of the head of the SHSD department is kept, then he has the opportunity to raise the authority of the SHSD again through future actions.
Even one day, the person who just called him will never dare to scold him again.
Major General Nick replied, "I understand, please rest assured, I will not let you down again." ”
The person on the other side of the phone said: "There is one more thing, that is, I hope you can maintain a good relationship with Wen Ming, as far as I know, there are already people I don't want to contact Wen Ming, and I am ready to contact him." ”
"At this time, you can tell him about our existence, and even, I hope to be able to arrange a meeting."
Major General Nick, who hung up the phone, had a somewhat complicated mood, the forces behind him were actually not secret, but it was for people with background and background. Wen Ming didn't know, just because he rose too fast, he became the richest man in the world in just over a year, a speed that no one could have imagined before, let alone really did it.
This is also why, until now, Wen Ming didn't know his background, and before those people decided what way to contact Wen Ming, Wen Ming had already changed every month, and finally became the richest man in the world, this is the time difference.
"I knew that the last time he asked, I shouldn't have prevaricated, but told him directly. Maybe then there won't be any conflict between us. ”
Major General Nick sighed, pondered for a while, and then dialed Wen Ming's phone.
"There are two pieces of good news, and one is that we have information such as orbital data for space-based weapon satellites, and in a day at most, we will be able to calculate where the space-based weapon satellites are now."
This news is really not good news for Wen Ming now. Before, he hoped to solve it as soon as possible, but after knowing the cause and effect of the next daydream, he naturally hoped that it would be solved as slowly as possible, because he needed to make more preparations, such as a secret base to prevent the outbreak of large-scale Resident Evil.
However, Wen Ming couldn't stop Major General Nick from finding the location of the space-based weapon satellite, and could only say perfunctorily: "This is indeed good news, but what about another piece of good news?" ”
Major General Nick said, "Someone wants to meet with you, well, my boss." ”
Wen Ming frowned, this can't be considered good news, because he doesn't know what Major General Nick's boss wants to see him for.
If he wants to take away the benefits that belong to him, it is definitely bad news.
"Your boss, shouldn't it be the Pentagon, or, Mr. President?"
Hearing Wen Ming's joke, Major General Nick said: "Not kidding, I didn't say it last time you asked me, just because they didn't think about how to cooperate with you, and now, your achievements are already very high, so they have determined the way to contact you." ”
Wen Ming sighed in his heart, if he could wait a little longer, wait until the next daydream and cause and effect are over, at that time, his achievements may be higher.
It is inevitable that the level of achievement determines the attitude of other people towards you.
"So, who are they? Don't tell me what mysterious forces were inherited from hundreds of years ago, or thousands of years ago. ”
Major General Nick laughed and said, "Do you think it's a movie or a write?" How can there be an organization that has been inherited for so long, let alone thousands of years, even if it is an organization that has been inherited for hundreds of years, it will only end up in the sunset. ”
"Like my boss, the Roosevelt family."
