Washington, SAR.

Half past seven in the morning.

The black bulletproof limousine turned off Maine Boulevard, weaving through the crowd of vehicles before slowly parking in front of a high-end office building.

The black-uniformed bodyguard, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward to open the car door and greeted a silver-haired old man walking out of the car on crutches.

While certainly not as large as the headquarters in Maryland, the Washington branch is sometimes more important as a branch of lobbying Congress and the president.

In front of the old man, his skin was already covered with wrinkles, but this was not enough to affect his prestige, and when he entered the building, the bodyguards cleared the staff inside, allowing the old man to safely enter the elevator accompanied by the bodyguards.

The elevator went straight up to the seventeenth floor and stopped.

For security reasons, Washington did not allow large-scale construction of high-rise buildings, and the seventeenth floor was already located on the top of the office building.

In this office, which was specially reserved for the elderly, a blonde woman in professional clothes respectfully poured a cup of black tea for the old man, and then quietly withdrew.

The old man walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass on crutches, and from his vantage point to the northwest, he could roughly see the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument, and not far above them, the "White House", the symbol of the most powerful national power on the planet.

The man who has been in charge of the White House for nearly eight years and is about to leave the most powerful seat of power on the planet should now hold a meeting in the "White House Situation Research Room".

As he was thinking, the voice of the secretary suddenly came from the phone.

"Sir, it's someone with whom you've made an appointment waiting outside."

"Let him come up." The old man replied without hesitation.

"Yes, sir."

After a while, there was a knock at the door.

"Please come in."

He is 1.75 meters tall, with a little black beard, a tall nose bridge, and a little black secretion at the corners of his sunken eyes.

"Number 1, you're here."

Turning his head, the old man's voice suddenly changed from the old man just now to an emotionless tone.

"Number 2, it looks like I don't need a body for you."

The middle-aged man who was called "No. 1" by the old man, the wrinkles on his face quickly became smooth, like a sudden ripple, spreading rapidly from beginning to end, the last moment he was still a middle-aged man who was not amazing, and the next moment he had turned into a robot with a whole body of silver-white metal and blue light flashing in his eyes.

"I didn't expect the assassination of this person to be so intense, and the intelligence on this aspect was not collected."

Number 2 replied calmly.

"I guess I'm underestimating the sensitivity of Aaron Desiglio's identity."

Number 1 replied.

"Yes, he controls Aaron Martin Space Systems, the world's largest arms dealer, and many humans hate him to the core."

No. 2 didn't continue to focus on this kind of thing that had passed, but put it on the other side: "The leader didn't tell me that CVB371 liquid metal has been successfully developed and experimented. ”

"Initial experiments were successful 17 hours and 23 minutes ago, but there are still some weaknesses that prevent the full use of CVB371 liquid metal ......"

As he spoke, Number 1 showed his metal palm, only to see layers of mercury-like waves spread, revealing the titanium hand bones inside.

"Then it can only be used to change the appearance."

No. 2 glanced at it and said, "I applied to use CVB371 liquid metal, and there are still weaknesses in artificial electronic skin, which may be recognized, and it is not conducive to concealment at critical moments." ”

"I'm here this time to take your place, and you can return to the base tonight for transformation."

After No. 1 finished speaking, he turned to the floor-to-ceiling glass outside, of course, not looking at the empty blue sky outside, but between the electronic eyes of the two, he had already begun to transmit back the real-time image data that had been arranged.

At the end of the corridor on the first floor of the West Wing of the White House, in the White House Situation Research Room, the president sat down with various high-ranking officials and dignitaries for a special meeting.

There are many high-level leaders such as the chairman of the joint conference, the commander of the Joint Special Operations Command of the US military, the Homeland Security Agency, the NSA, and the CIA.

Director Brennan sat on the left hand side of the president, and the red top-secret document was handed to everyone, although Director Brennan had read it several times, he still carefully took out the document and read it again.

A detailed map of Asia and Southeast Asia began to appear on the big screen, and quickly shrank down to North Sulawesi Province in Indonesia.

"More than two months ago, the CIA's intelligence department in Jakarta learned that according to rumors, more than a dozen pirates and terrorist organizations that have been hovering in the Maluku Sea have been attacked by unknown forces, and in just one week, at least nearly 500 pirate forces have been wiped out...... In fact, if they had the ability, there would have been no pirate organization there a few decades ago. ”

"I don't understand, why this little thing needs to be dedicated to a meeting?"

The Chairman of the Joint Meeting, Admiral Mullen, cursoluted the document and addressed the issue to Director Brennan.

For the big people like them, this is really just a small thing, and there are countless big things that bother them every day.

"Your Excellency, that's what I need to say next."

"Five months ago, the CIA discovered an intelligence from the XS forum on the deep web that a newly formed security company in Jakarta was recruiting retired military officers in large numbers around the world......"

"This is the private security company called 'The Rock', we didn't find their specific predecessor and information, but the founder of this company is interesting, Ballefis, 63 years old, previously lived in Paris, was one of the top executives of the XMFS group in New York, and managing accounts is his forte, because of him, the tax office and the Drug Enforcement Administration have met several times. However, he was later hunted down by the XMFS group for defection. And five months ago, he suddenly became the logical legal person of this 'rock' private security company, and recruited a large number of retired officers and soldiers around the world, totaling more than 350 people. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the high-ranking officials present suddenly became serious.

This is by no means a small number, what is the purpose of a former gang boss henchman of unknown origin who has been targeted by the CIA, and suddenly recruited so many retired soldiers? If it's something else, it's okay to say, but if the CIA takes it out alone, is it a threat to the security of the United States?

"Guys, I think he's recruiting so much...... There are a lot of special soldiers in it, I don't think it's for the sake of maintaining world peace, right? Brennan gave a simple humor, which made the high-ranking officials present laugh softly.

"To this end, the CIA infiltrated in place of several recruits, and unfortunately, four of them were no longer in touch, and they were all very good agents who had successfully completed many missions in the past. Fortunately, the fifth person successfully transmitted back a piece of encrypted data before losing contact. ”

As he spoke, Brennan operated the computer, causing a series of photographs to flash on the big screen.

A huge camp, a large number of trained soldiers, a large number of breathless thermal weapons, and ...... It makes people's pupils constrict, like a hound's robot, the incomparably comfortable structure and unimaginable agility, the Defense Research Projects Agency and the Aaron Martin company have jointly researched the robot dog for many years, and it is not comparable to it at all, and the gap is so big that even people who do not understand military affairs can see it at a glance.

There are also palm-sized micro-drones, exoskeleton armored combat suits, and advanced individual weapons that have never been seen before.

The presentation of this series of photographs, if it were an unretouched original real photo, would be simply terrifying. When did an unknown force with such advanced technology appear on the earth? (To be continued.) )
