Chapter 171: The Fierce Mikel Fleet
"Director, will our army be in danger in this military exercise? We need to remind Director Davis. ”
After listening to McLaughlin's words, Link said hurriedly, although Davis usually does some gangsters and factions below, making him, McLaughlin's first confidant, slandered, but at this time, unity is needed, and any internal friction can only add to the joke.
"Don't worry, I've informed him before, and I still trust Davis's ability. ”
Before Link and the others came, McLaughlin got in touch with Davis through a single line of channels, in fact, this was also a knock on Davis, Miramar and Weihandi's actions have always been in charge of Davis, and he is responsible for such a big mistake.
"Link, inform Kodak of this information, and ask him to bring the inner ghost to me within two hours. Angelina, go directly to the Air Force and let me know as soon as there is news from Wesley. ”
McLaughlin continued, determining the time when the ghost delivered the message was undoubtedly very helpful to narrow down the scope of suspects, and whether that Kodak could complete the task within McLaughlin's command time depended on his ability.
Although there were still two CIA liaison officers on the Elk, McLaughlin also wanted to learn more information from the Air Force, after all, the level of those two liaison officers was too low, and this mistake was committed by the CIA, and I don't know if Wesley would be angry with the two hairy boys.
When Link and Angelina left the office, McLaughlin sank himself into the soft back of the chair behind him, and began to close his eyes and think about his next course of action, and the soundproofed office fell silent again, except for the ticking of the wall clock on the wall.
When the time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, McLaughlin finally waited for the news he wanted, both good and bad.
The inner ghost was found, and Kodak passed the screening one by one, and finally determined the identity of the inner ghost through the time on a reimbursement document, but this person was the one Kodak didn't want to see the most, the deputy director of the detective department, Christian Bale, a superior that Kodak has always respected.
When Kodak led someone into Bell's office, he saw the scene where Bell first smiled wryly at him, and then quickly activated the pistol that was already on his temple, and finally Kodak brought McLaughlin to McLaughlin's corpse with only half of his head left.
It is a little funny to say that the Detective Division, as the department responsible for internal investigation in the CIA, has always been separated from other departments in the Bureau, and even the Director and the two full-time deputy directors are designated by the Senate of the Republic, and only the agents below are drawn from the good hands of the Bureau.
Therefore, the relationship between this director and the deputy director who has committed suicide and McLaughlin is not so harmonious, although they are under McLaughlin's orders, but their actions are still quite independent, which is why McLaughlin has been in contact with Kodak, a former intelligence officer, and only mentioned the deputy director and above.
"Do you know the reason for Deputy Director Bell's defection?"
McLaughlin asked with a complicated expression, the fact that the ghost is the deputy director of the detective department is actually beneficial to McLaughlin, after all, this person's appointment has nothing to do with him, and even said that McLaughlin may use this matter as an introduction to seize a certain advantage from the Senate, but after all, the person is under the name of the CIA, and to be honest, McLaughlin is quite sure of the ability of this deputy director of Bell, even if he has seen the corpse now, he is still quite surprised that Bell is a renegade。
"It's still investigating, but I'm sure Captain Kodak will find out soon. ”
Sweat beads on her head from the head of the detective department, Ayala Cooper said nervously, he was nominated to the Detective Division together with Bell and another deputy director, but unlike the two deputies who are experts in this area themselves, they have also made remarkable achievements in their daily work, this director of Ayala completely bribed the corresponding congressmen to get this position, since he sat in this position, he has become an agent of some congressmen, specializing in dealing with some unsightly things, and he also turns a blind eye to these McLaughlin, after all, the CIA does have many places that are required from the Senate, such as budgets, such as action deliberations。
Ever since Ayala learned that a colleague who had come to the CIA with him turned out to be a traitor and a renegade, he became frightened, for fear that the high-ranking McLaughlin would suspect that he was also an accomplice, or that McLaughlin might take this opportunity to oust him from the position of director, after all, this matter is the Senate's pot, and no matter what, those congressmen will give McLaughlin this face.
"Well, then you guys as soon as possible, I need a detailed report by this time tomorrow. ”
McLaughlin didn't have time to take into account the idea of an "outsider" at this time, even if he wanted to replace Ayala, it was something that he had to think about after this matter was over, and after seeing that the spiritual power communication prop on the table that was responsible for communicating with the military agent of the Elk had a spiritual power fluctuation, McLaughlin, who understood the situation, waved his hand and let Ayala and Kodak out.
Although they were the two military agents sent by Davis, the spiritual power communication props they carried could only communicate with the terminal in McLaughlin's office, and even for the sake of secrecy, although McLaughlin had used a large number of manpower and material resources to support the Elk, the participating troops of the Silver Eagle Republic closest to the place where the incident occurred did not receive the news, and even said that now the people in Miramar and Weihan who knew about the matter also knew about the deputy director Davis, which was also a helpless move to not want the family scandal to be spread so early.
Either way, now that news could come in, the Elk should not be in any danger, otherwise he would have doubted the Clevelands' ability to move. So at this time, McLaughlin's mood finally relaxed, and he connected to the spiritual power terminal for a long time, and began to check the information received by the terminal.
The information is very short, after all, the two agents are the first to pass on the most important news, and as for the details, it is the second priority.
"The Elk is safe. The knight charge has retreated. ”
Seeing this short line of news, McLaughlin once again sank himself into the wide leather sofa, but this time his mood was completely different from just now, and he even had the urge to shout loudly.
"It's still Lao Tzu's wit that he sent the Vikramaditya-class Elk to carry out this mission, if it were someone else, he would either be defeated and captured now, or he would have died on the battlefield, even if Halsey's brute bull would not be able to eat a little cheap when he met that Drake. ”
McLaughlin said to himself, but it is true, without her order, Ye Wenqin would not have had the opportunity to show his powerful emergency handling ability.
"Very well, submit a detailed report as soon as possible. ”
McLaughlin didn't lie down for long, that is, for a minute or two, then quickly edited the order and sent it over, and finally signed his name.
Originally, the spiritual communication equipment of the two agents was connected to the confidential information center, but this time the situation was urgent, and McLaughlin directly asked for it, so the two little agents were so excited that they almost didn't know how to write the battle report.
Of course, this is also a small episode in this incident, and the atmosphere in the command room of the Elk has become solemn again.
"Commander, I still can't get in touch with Captain Mikel. ”
One of the communications staff officers on board the boat reported to Wesley with an ugly face.
"What about the others? Richard, Opportunity, Horn, Rebinsky, all of them. ”
Wesley also lost the radiant expression he had when he was out of danger, and said impatiently.
At this time, more than an hour had passed since the knight's charge and retreat, and the Elk had already contacted the Republic Air Force Command, but the lieutenant staff officer who was in charge of communicating with the formation led by Colonel Mikel, who was in charge of evacuating in the other direction, could not receive the slightest signal, and the ominous premonition spread in the hearts of everyone in the command room, which made their joy disappear.
"Commander, these Clevelands didn't want to spare anyone in the first place, they must have sent other troops to pursue Colonel Mikel and them. You said that they are still caught in the storm of spiritual disturbances from time to time, so they haven't reached us yet. ”
Coca said with a bitter face, in fact, he didn't quite believe the second half of his sentence, and most of the purpose of his words was to comfort Wesley, after all, the order to let Mikel lead the team to retreat was given by Wesley himself. It's just that whoever is in that situation at the time will make the same judgment as Wesley, after all, the enemy's strength is too strong, and the best option for other airships without a high level advantage is to turn in from other directions.
"Chief of Staff, don't comfort me, I know it. ”
Wesley's eyes were bloodshot and his face was hideous, and he was in extreme anger at the slaughter of the Clevelands.
"Contact the Air Force Command and let them know about the situation and see if they can apply for assistance from the Kick Federation. ”
Wesley said to the communications staff, and then leaned down to look at the air map laid out in front of him, which was densely packed with routes of various colors. The coca on the side also looked at it.
"Commander, Mikel still has a lot of public routes in their direction, maybe there will be merchant ships passing by. I don't think the Clevelands can do it completely. ”
Coca looked at these routes, and there was still a hint of luck in his heart.
"What do you think, since they dare to stretch out their claws to the Republic, do they still care about those merchant ships? Even if a merchant ship passes through that airspace, eighty percent of them have already become the ghosts of the Clevelands, as long as there is no evidence left, who will speak for a few merchant ships that disappeared due to air crashes. Besides, there aren't too many empty thieves who want to carry this pot. ”
Wesley jokingly said, every year, dozens of airships quietly disappear somewhere in this world, as for who did it, there are different opinions, but there are still many air pirate organizations in order to increase their popularity, if they kill some airships with no background, they will be very happy to publicize the matter, when the time comes, as long as the Cleveland people find some air pirate organizations to make a statement, then there are scapegoats, for the second largest country in the Holy Alliance, will there be a lack of this channel?
