Chapter 403: CCB's Panic

Due to some suspicious signs, reports of a "fire" incident at the military base that Team 102 had previously "patronized" were quickly sent to Elysium's central control room, and the local military commander hoped to get the help of the Department of Defense to investigate the incident.

It's just that he didn't know that at this time, there was already chaos in the central control room of the Ministry of Defense on the Elysium space station, and Minister Dracutt was sitting in his chair with his head down, frowning and thinking about something.

While she was thinking, the central control room was already crowded with hundreds of correspondents and clerks of all kinds, everyone was busy, and the entire central control room was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Only a small number of people here were from the previous jobs here, and the rest were drawn from various other branches of government, even from the agencies on the surface.

There was also a large line of sleeping agents standing in the doorway, who looked like Agent Kruger in the movie, and looked like dirty and scum.

These people are the best mercenaries who take money to do things, and many of them have criminal records. They are usually mixed in high-risk areas on the surface and are responsible for monitoring the movements of major gangs and civilian groups.

Depending on the mission, they can disguise themselves as civilians, thieves, gang members, ......, and in the same way that they can become soldiers, police officers, and temporary judges when it is time to act.

Of course, mercenaries are mercenaries, although these people are theoretically under the unified leadership of the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Defense pays salaries and arranges jobs.

But in reality, due to the extremely long tenure of the current Minister of Defense, Dracut, his authority is enormous. So these people are basically Dracut's private soldiers.

These people are in the most dangerous professions of our time. Dealing with professional criminals and "dirty" surface civilians every day. Therefore, the ability to conduct independent investigations is generally very strong, and there are many intelligence channels that government agencies do not have.

At this time, these hundreds of mercenaries were honestly waiting at the door to receive their tasks. Most of them are still quite normal mentally.

In other words, there is still a certain amount of loyalty to the lady of the Minister of Defense, who pays them salaries, and most of them have heard about the abduction and are exchanging information in their possession.

"There are already 4 people missing in the North American Defense Zone,...... I'm more here, and I've heard that seven "citizens" have been kidnapped in South America...... "They are talking in whispers, and people are constantly coming and going at the door.

The reason why the central control room is so chaotic is also very simple, in the past 6 hours. Dozens of cases of kidnappings and disappearances against citizens of Elysium have appeared on the ground. And every kidnapping was successful.

Counting the large number of Elysium citizens who mysteriously disappeared during this same time period, the whereabouts of nearly 100 Elysium citizens are now unknown.

There is no doubt that this was an organized, large-scale case of kidnapping against the citizens of Elysium. The abductees were either experts in important technical fields aboard the Elysium space station. Either they have a high level of authority within the government.

No doubt. The kidnappers knew exactly what they were doing. There should also be a full plan for the use of the people they kidnapped, but until now, the Ministry of Defense has not received any valid information about the kidnappers.

There are no ransom requests. There is no political zhì requirement...... Even the identity of the kidnappers is still a mystery. Minister Deracut has brought together all the investigative forces of the Civic Self-Government Council on the surface to investigate the matter, but so far in vain.

There are not many gangsters on the ground capable of kidnapping the citizens of Elysium, and as a key suspect, they are naturally the first to be approached.

The police, or the military (in this world, that is the meaning of the word), quickly brought back many of the most powerful gang bosses on the surface for interrogation.

But no one has provided any information about the kidnapping, and the boss's younger brothers are confronting the police forces in the various places where they are being held. If one is not handled well, it will be a large-scale bloody conflict.

On top of that, Dracutt himself doesn't quite believe that these mob bosses are capable of doing this. Because unless these gang bosses unite and plan for a long time, it is simply impossible to carry out a kidnapping of this scale.

While Dracutt was meditating, a group of uninvited guests came to the central control room where she was, and when they looked up, they saw that it was President Patel with an angry face.

It seems that despite her best efforts to delay and block the news, His Excellency the President and his staff finally learned of the serial kidnappings.

"You're too arrogant, Dracut. Why didn't I know about the situation here until now! Sue me, how many people are missing now? What the hell are you ......?"

President Patel and a group of his aides surrounded Tracourt and immediately questioned her, the Minister of Defense, who had not reported such a big incident, without informing him of such a big incident.

If it weren't for the urgent notice issued by the Ministry of Defense ordering all Elysiums on the surface to fly back to the Elysium space station, he wouldn't necessarily know what was going on by now.

"Don't you know now?" Mr. President. Before you pretentiously accuse me, please be clear that I am doing my best to investigate this incident, which means that I am the only person who can guarantee the safety of our homeland at the moment.

Do you think the kidnappers will stop there? No, whoever they are, they've kidnapped a dozen of our technologists on the surface, including John Brown. Carlisle, the programmer of our defense hosts

Our national defense security is under unprecedented threat. So, if you want to do something that benefits the bigger picture, don't bother me and let me do my job......"

Instead of giving President Patel more time to go berserk, Delacoute took the initiative and the moral high ground to suppress the opponent's momentum.

Pressed by her, President Patel could only turn his head to look around. As a result, none of the surrounding little people dared to come up and say a few words to help him, the president.

In the end, he, the "diplomat-like" Mr. President, could not come up with any rebuttals, and this was not the time to dismiss Dracoult, so he had to leave the central control room angrily with his staff.

After seeing off the president and his staff, Dracute finally made up his mind to act, he was frowning for so long not to play some kind of performance art, but to think about a plan.

Since today, the kidnapping of Elysium on the surface is undoubtedly very strict, and she will definitely be held accountable after the matter is found out.

The most likely scenario is that she will be dismissed after the incident and will never be able to compete with the defense minister or other high positions. However, the situation is still tense. No one had the heart to hold her accountable for oversight.

Other words. Her fate has not yet been decided, at least at this moment. He also has the opportunity to remedy or lead things down a completely different path.

If she can carefully operate the forces at her disposal in the next day, although she may not be able to catch the kidnappers afterwards, and it is difficult to say whether the hostages can be recovered, she will definitely be able to keep her position as Minister of Defense.

That's the key! Having lived for more than a century, Dracutt knows the importance of his position in society all too well. On ability. Many of her contemporaries were more capable than her.

But how many of those people have survived to the present. How about becoming a citizen of Elysium and allowing your descendants and future generations to enjoy peace forever? The answer is: very little!

She was able to successfully climb all the way to this status not by relying on her star face that is very well-known in the main plane, after all, in this world. He's not that famous actress.

In order to get his current political status, Dracutt has made deals with many people and done many shady things. Now, in the current crisis, she not only sees the danger, but also sees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Jean Hansen, Levi, Eisenberg, Cather... And Agent Kruger waiting for me in the conference room, I have important tasks for them. Dracutt instructed his assistant.

The assistant who received her order immediately ran to call someone, and as Delacout's assistant, he had also heard of these people, they were all the most elite sleeping agents under Delacout.

A few minutes later, Dracoot herself appeared in the small conference room, abandoning a large crowd of clerks and correspondents who had sought her authorization or instructions.

Several of the agents in the room who were waiting for her immediately put down what they were doing or got up from their chairs and stood in a row to greet her respectfully.

"You can all sit down, gentlemen. After he sat down, Dracutt instructed softly. Several agents sat down, but no one dared to sit near her.

This is also the sequelae of her perennial role as Minister of Defense, and even her most trusted agents have a certain awe for her.

"Alright, gentlemen, let's get down to business. As you have heard, the past day has seen a series of kidnappings on the surface of the Earth against the citizens of Elysium.

We didn't know who the kidnappers were, we didn't know where they were taking the hostages, until 40 minutes ago, we took this ......," she said, turning on an electronic screen behind her and showing a video from a satellite perspective.

If any of the expedition students in this plane saw this video, they would definitely find that it was John Brown in the movie. Satellite image of Carlisle at the time of his abduction.

At least in the first half of the image, there is not much difference from the movie. Carlisle left his factory and boarded his own luxury shuttle, when he suddenly fell during the flight......

But the similarity between the whole video and the video in the movie ends here, due to the intervention of the expedition, what happened after the end was completely changed! (To be continued......)
