Charlie carefully adjusted, set the device to off mode, and exited the system. The Judgment Light console deftly retracts, turning back into an inconspicuous black box. The president was relieved to disconnect the video link.

Dr. Kuhlman finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Charlie with joy and smiled: "The next thing is safe, we just need to put the light of judgment in the vault 500 meters underground to protect it, and the special forces will arrive in two days, and we can bring the equipment back to the Federation without fail." ”

Charlie was arbitrary: "No, prepare the military plane immediately, the alpha team has enough escort capabilities." ”

Alan and Dr. Kuhlman looked at each other in surprise, and after eye contact, they retorted, "The Secretary of State is pressuring the Mexican government, and soon the other side will compromise and allow a large number of troops to enter the country to receive the light of trial." We have to wait for the big forces to be safe. ”

Charlie was silent for a moment, then turned his head to dispel Dr. Kuhlman: "One minute, is it okay?" ”

Dr. Kuhlman felt a deep sense of distrust, shook his head, and walked away in capitulation.

The anger in Allen's chest grew, the gun was hanging on his shoulder, and he stared at Charlie with a frown: "You are like this, you don't trust anyone, that's why you are lonely until now!" You arrogant bastard! ”

Charlie grimaced, crossed his waist and threatened, "You're making trouble for me." I should have covered you in swaddling clothes when I had the chance. ”

Alan stretched his neck, poked Charlie's chest, and fought back sharply: "You are as domineering and stubborn as your father." This is a national task, and you must restrain your faults! ”

Charlie rubbed his hair irritably, shook his head and pressed it for a while, forced his brother to look at him, poked his fingertips in his heart and said angrily: "You are wrong Alan." I trust my Alpha Squad, our team is fully capable of escorting. I can't give the other side a breather, I have to race against time to bring the console back to the White House. Only in the center of power of the Federation can there be real security. ”

Alan was dumbfounded as he watched Charlie ruthlessly turn away. Charlie didn't leave him room to negotiate, Charlie was just announcing.

"I don't trust anyone?" Charlie arrogantly walked away a few steps, suddenly turned to stare at Alan in a daze, and added, "I trust you, Alan." I only trust you. ”

Charlie carried the suitcase cuffed to his wrist, jumped into the command car, and led his troops to the city of Laredo.

Dr. Kuhlman walked over, handed Alan a cigar, lit one himself, squinted at it, and asked, "Who's the boss?" ”

Alan put on his cigar, Dr. Ren lit it, puffed out smoke, stared at Charlie's car exhaust, and muttered, "He's hopeless." There's no way to get along with him. ”

"It's safe to stay put." Dr. Kuhlman sighed, citing the benefits of the Mexican Security Center: "The vault is located 500 meters underground, protected by defense-grade steel plates, with specific coordinates held only by the crisis team, closely guarded by armed police and Alpha Squad, and a complete surveillance and anti-theft security system." It can be said that it is seamless and foolproof. No thief can steal the Light of Judgment from the Security Center. We should persuade Charlie. ”

Alan groaned.

"Who can guarantee that the hijacking won't happen a second time." The postdoc is afraid of infinite emotion.

Allen remembered the charred corpse of General Houston. Strict protection, secret itinerary, still let a generation of generals fall into the sky, and the equipment is not guaranteed. When the mood was agitated, the picture in his mind flashed, and the charred corpse turned into Charlie's appearance, and this sudden fright made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

"I talked to Charlie and forced him to consult General Marshall." Alan took away his cigar and said softly.

Laredo City Special Police Headquarters, Intelligence Center Conference Room. The hall was filled with jubilation, with police officers chatting and laughing and stirring coffee among the crowded computers.

In the soundproof conference room separated by frosted glass, Charlie put his hands on his chin and stubbornly resisted: "I have prepared the military plane, take off at four o'clock in the morning, and return to the Federation with equipment." ”

The head of the Mexican SWAT team was eager to clear up the relationship as soon as possible, and nodded reservedly in agreement. Dr. Kuhlman coughed, stood up, and said, "The terms of reference of the crisis team are limited to assault operations. The disposal of portable equipment is subject to voting rights only by federal personnel. He glanced at the small, dark man.

The two on the Mexican side shrugged their shoulders and had nothing to say.

Charlie realized the danger, and he looked at Allen with a strained face: "You want to leave the device in the Mexican Security Center. ”

Alan resisted the pressure and said ambiguously, "I know you hate voting. I would like to contact the Department of Defense and ask General Marshall to decide. ”

Charlie was helpless and nodded in agreement.

Ten minutes later, under the persuasion of Dr. Kuhlman, General Marshall agreed to the Light of Judgment console to remain in the Mexican Security Center for a day to wait for the 107th Airborne Division to arrive to receive it.

Charlie stood up alone, stared at the pensive Allen, and cursed bitterly: "You adopted mongrel! You betrayed me! Reluctantly, he left the table.

Dr. Kuhlman elegantly rubbed his glasses with the deerskin and comforted Allen, "Kid, you made the right decision. Charlie's personal heroism made it impossible for him to see the situation. ”

Alan perfunctory Dr. and chased him out.

"Charlie!" Alan called out to his brother who was leaving angrily in the corridor and asked worriedly, "Where are you going?" ”

Charlie stopped and didn't look back: "I'm going to check the security system and arming of the security center. Ensure the safety of your device. ”

Allen defended: "We have annihilated Mexico's largest drug lord group, the security center's defenses are leaky, and with the Alpha Team patrolling and alerting, no one will be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg!" Plus the camera has no dead spots to monitor ......"

"Alan." Charlie rudely interrupted Allen's explanation and said, "You're that good boy." But you're just a kid. I'm on patrol, goodbye. ”

Dr. Kuhlman chased after him and stood behind Allen: "Don't worry, it's just a day, it's just a day." ”

Alan muttered, "God, I wish he was wrong. ”

Charlie walked around and smoked at the door with Beta Squad Commander Johnson: "How is Richard?" ”

"He was treated at the central hospital five kilometers away, where he had stopped bleeding and was recovering. He was unable to carry out the mission for half a year, and he had already applied for leave, and a special plane would come to pick him up and return home seven days later. ”

"Bad news, we're staying in Laredo for a day. You'll be able to go home and hug your wife later. ”

"Hahaha! In just one day, we have slain the messenger of God's spear and captured alive the perpetrator of the hijacking. Now the House of Representatives has time to prepare for our triumphal welcome. Johnson's heart was so excited that he had dreamed of returning to the Federation, "The activities of the Spear of God are very secretive, and this capture alive is of great significance. ”

Johnson leaned against the wall with his gun in his arms and looked at Charlie beamingly, "Thanks to you." ”

Charlie changed the subject: "So there are armed police officers outside the police station as sentry posts, patrolling every three minutes. Richard's Alpha Team is stationed in the underground vault, Beta Team is stationed at the police station, and Allen's Gamma Team snipers occupy the high ground. Is it? ”

Johnson smoked a cigarette and laughed, "That's right. Not a single mosquito can fly in. Relax Colonel, you can go back to the police station and get a good night's sleep. ”

Before the words fell, the roar of an airplane sounded in the sky.
