Chapter 380: What Are You Talking About?
At SHSD's temporary headquarters in Area 51, Major General Nick frowned and looked at Pablo with a calm face.
"Do you really think you can stay silent all the time?"
Since Pablo was sent here and imprisoned, Pablo has remained silent, no matter what kind of negotiators he is sent.
In desperation, Major General Nick, the head of the SHSD department, could only go out in person.
Originally, the CIA wanted to take Pablo away, but Major General Nick was unwilling to let him go, just grabbing Pablo's credit was not enough, at most it could only be equal to the elite soldiers lost by SHSD.
What's more, SHSD also scrapped two sets of Umbrella Type I armor?
Previously, because he was in a hurry to act, and Wen Ming needed Major General Nick to help solve the problem of relocating the headquarters to Canada, Wen Ming did not give an offer for the Umbrella I armor, but only said that the manufacturing cost of a set of Umbrella I armor was 3 million US dollars.
Even if Wen Ming was the technical general consultant of SHSD, it would be impossible for him to sell the Umbrella I armor to SHSD at cost price, because the cost of developing the Umbrella I armor was completely owned by Wen Ming.
Normally, R&D expenses are added to the cost of the product.
Although the actual cost of the Umbrella I armor is only 1 million US dollars, Wen Ming will sell it for at least 10 million US dollars. And a set of 10 million US dollars is definitely within the acceptable range of Major General Nick or the Pentagon.
Two sets of obsolete Umbrella I armor, if you want to repair it completely, it is not much cheaper than buying two new sets of armor. This is also normal, after-sales is almost a big profit in any industry, especially for the boss of Apple.
Therefore, whether it is to give SHSD a few times the already not too much fund reserves, or to get more credit, Major General Nick needs to dig up enough benefits from Pablo.
"Who are you?"
Pablo finally spoke, as Major General Nick was the only one who hadn't introduced himself in front of him.
And his silence is to wait for such a person.
Major General Nick still did not introduce himself, but said, "I am the one who can decide your fate." ”
This is an exaggeration, but Major General Nick can do it, provided that he, like Colonel Hans, doesn't care about his future.
Pablo's expression finally changed, and he laughed and said, "Then, you must know that I have a satellite, a space-based weapon satellite. ”
Major General Nick's expression remained unchanged and asked, "Do you think you still have a chance to launch that space-based satellite?" ”
Pablo smiled again and said, "Do you think that after I am captured, my men will choose to embezzle my property, and then start fleeing to find a safe place to spend this time?" Or, take over my business and become the new drug lord? ”
The point of this statement is that no one would want to come to the rescue of Pablo.
Major General Nick also laughed and said, "I believe that there are people who are willing to die for you, but do you really think that they have the courage to threaten us with space-based weapons?" ”
It is indeed difficult to dare to threaten the US government after the boss is arrested.
Pablo naturally knew that after he was caught, the prestige he had built up before would collapse in an instant, so his hole cards were not his own subordinates at all.
"I've always felt that technology in this world is developing very quickly."
Pablo did not answer Major General Nick's question, but said: "For example, mobile phones, computers, these technologies have affected the way many people live. But for me, I am more concerned about the development of weapons. ”
Major General Nick did not interrupt Pablo's words, but listened very carefully, and a drug lord can mix up to Pablo's level, which is also worthy of 'respect'.
Pablo continued: "When I first learned about the idea of a space-based weapon, I felt that it was the most powerful weapon besides nuclear weapons, and it was the one I had the most mastery. ”
"I can't get nuclear weapons, but I can make space-based weapons, and I spent more than $30 billion and spent five years to build a space-based weapon satellite. And then, by all means, I got my space-based weapons satellites into space, and for this I even invested in a rocket launch site in Ukraine. ”
So far, there are only 10 countries in the world that have the technology to launch satellites with rockets, and in addition to the seven countries of China, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Japan, and India, there are also Israel, Ukraine, and Iran.
The first seven countries don't need to think about it, although Israel is small, it has always been strong, and Pablo has not been able to get through relations at all. And Iran has been targeted by the United States in recent years, so only Ukraine can help Pablo complete this task.
Ukraine's favorite thing is to sell arms and technology, which can be seen from the fact that they sold all the Varyag aircraft carriers.
This was not surprising to Major General Nick, who was surprised by the money Pablo had invested in space-based weapons.
It cost $30 billion to build a space-based weapon alone, and what about a rocket launch site? In addition to these, the cost of getting through the relationship is definitely not low.
Pablo continued: "Do you know why I have to have space-based weapons? ”
Major General Nick did not speak, but looked at Pablo quietly, and Pablo, who had been silent for a long time, had a very strong desire to speak at this time. Therefore, he didn't wait for Major General Nick to answer, and said to himself: "Even now, although you have captured me, you dare not kill me, and even arrange very good living conditions for me." ”
"Of course I know that other people can't be trusted, so only I can control my space-based weapons."
After saying this, Pablo looked at Major General Nick proudly.
And Major General Nick's expression finally changed, Pablo admitted that only he could control space-based weapons, and now Pablo has been caught. Well, only one thing can be said, and that is that Pablo's space-based weapons are launched at regular intervals.
But so what?
Major General Nick, who had fully grasped the report on the threat of space-based weapons, laughed directly, and Pablo's face became darker and darker.
"The biggest loss caused by the 911 incident is an indelible wound, just like the Pearl Island incident in the past."
Maj. Gen. Nick said, "What happened to the people who caused Pearl Harbor and 911? I think you should be very clear. And is there any real impact on us other than the pain? ”
"It can even be said that we have received real benefits."
The attack on Pearl Harbor gave the United States a reason to enter the war, and they used nuclear bombs to quiet the world, and the benefits were incalculable. Among other things, Japan now has US military bases.
The direct economic loss caused by the 911 incident to the United States was only 15 billion US dollars, and the largest loss was actually the insurance company, and the US government's loss was not large. The closure of securities dealers and stock exchanges, as well as the impact on the global economy, will also recover, with the biggest losses coming from investors' money.
Because of the 911 incident, the United States passed the "Patriot Act", passed the Prism Gate program, established the Homeland Security Agency, etc., which not only strengthened the US government's control over the country to a great extent, but also made their foreign espionage operations more rampant.
In addition to these, the greatest benefit of the United States is its unreserved fight against al-Qaeda.
Major General Nick didn't need much introduction, and Pablo knew it very well, so Major General Nick asked very confidently: "Do you really think that your space-based weapons can hit our White House?" ”
After this question, Major General Nick completely overpowered Pablo in terms of negotiation momentum.
So he took the opportunity to ask the question he wanted to ask the most: "Why do you want to kill so many drug addicts?" ”
Pablo was visibly stunned for a moment, then asked rhetorically, "What are you talking about?" ”
