"Are you sure? Don't just find someone to be your shield. ”

The irascible Bach's first reaction was to be skeptical of McLaughlin's explanation, but he regretted it when he said it, after all, McLaughlin, who had been in charge of the CIA for many years, did not need to fool them with lies, and Bach's words were undoubtedly insulting him.

Sure enough, as soon as Bach's words fell, McLaughlin erupted, and a powerful momentum erupted from his body, and under McLaughlin's control, he rushed straight towards the reckless Bach, blowing up his hair that had no hair left, but the people next to Bach did not feel this momentum, they could only find some clues from the few hairs that stood up.

"Bach, apologize. ”

Without waiting for McLaughlin to continue his attack, Wycombe Abbey said to Bach.

Although Bach is also a contractor of the same magnitude as McLaughlin, after all, he has not done anything with anyone for many years, unlike McLaughlin who has to go out on missions from time to time, so he has long lost the fierceness of his youth, and his heart is tightened by McLaughlin's momentum, but after all, he is also a veteran general, how can he be stimulated by this.

At this time, thanks to Wycombe Abbey's words, otherwise maybe the iron-headed Bach would have to do it, Wycombe Abbey's voice contains her own spiritual "breeze", and the spiritual power in the field of sound is given the function of soothing people's hearts by Wycombe Abbey's spiritual skills, and it also calms down Bach, he knows that McLaughlin's reaction is still because of his stinky mouth, if he really starts to move, then he will not see good fruit to eat.

As a last resort, Ironhead Bach could only reluctantly lower his head and apologize to McLaughlin,

"John, I'm also in a hurry, I'm sorry. ”

Seeing that Bach had softened, McLaughlin naturally retracted that momentum, but he still said to Bach seriously, "You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, as the commander of the army, Admiral Bach's level of cultivation needs to be improved." ”

McLaughlin's outburst was also intentional on his part, and thanks to Bach's mouth, he took the opportunity to regain a lot of initiative, so that he could not be so passive in front of the lieutenant military personnel.

In fact, competition between the military and the intelligence services has always been ubiquitous, especially in this era of peace, no matter which side actually wants to take the initiative, don't look at the few transactions with the Chuck Federation in which the military and the intelligence agencies are happy to cooperate, but in private there are inevitably various forms of competition.

Wycombe Abbey saw McLaughlin regain his momentum in such an understatement, and couldn't help but feel a little angry, glared at Bach, who knew he was in trouble, and then said to McLaughlin again.

"Looks like we're wrong about Director McLaughlin, I wonder if you've figured out the whole thing?"

Although the military has some of its own intelligence channels, most of them are also about the armies of other countries, and their intelligence officers have some responsibility for not watching the movement of the knight's charge this time. As for the intelligence that goes up to the political, technological and economic fields, they don't have it, and it is up to McLaughlin to explain it.

Looking at a few people who were already much more honest, McLaughlin's heart finally relaxed, which made Caterina who was watching the play on the side once again firmly believe in the phrase "wicked people still need wicked people to grind", just now she was not unable to rely on her identity to suppress these old guys, but because she knew almost nothing about this matter at present, she didn't say much.

"It's so lively, it looks like we're not too late. ”

A shrill voice sounded at the door, this voice is very recognizable, the person who came is the head of the Department of Homeland Security who has always been quite incompatible with McLaughlin, John Lennon, although both of them are called John, but most of the time, the title of John belongs to McLaughlin, as the head of another intelligence agency that has been suppressed by the CIA for many years, John Lennon. Lennon never had a good face for McLaughlin and the CIA he led, so everyone in the Silver Eagle Republic knew that unless the sun came out of the west, there was basically no possibility of cooperation between the two intelligence organizations.

At this time, Lennon came with a smile on his face, he actually didn't know much about what happened, only knew that the CIA's actions seemed to have suffered a lot of losses, but he didn't know that it was the military and not the CIA's own people who suffered heavy losses, otherwise he wouldn't have that fake smile on his face.

So seeing the expression on Lennon's face, McLaughlin didn't say anything, and several people in the military also frowned slightly, ignoring this guy, only Katarina nodded at his arrival, which made the secretary of homeland security who wanted to see McLaughlin's jokes a little embarrassed, but everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the two who had just come in.

Behind Lennon, a man and a woman walked in one after another, namely Senate President Kakino and House Speaker Missy Rowling, of which Khakino's face was pale, obviously he had received the news, while Missy Rowling was at a loss, she and Lennon were the only two participants here who didn't know anything about what was going on, and they both came after receiving a notice from the Presidential Palace.

Seeing that all the participants had arrived, Caterina nodded to Mina, the head of the Secretariat of the Presidential Palace, who was standing at the door, and Mina turned around and walked out, probably to inform President Amelia.

"Alright, you're almost there. Let's all take a seat. ”

Katarina greeted everyone, and then took the lead in sitting in her place, several people from the military and McLaughlin also sat down one after another, McLaughlin also glared at Kakino when he sat down, which made the senator old face red, and Lennon and Missy Rowlin, who didn't know the inside story, were quite surprised, when was McLaughlin so strong, he dared to throw his face at Kachino, don't you want next year's budget? This made Lennon angry in his heart, you must know that he was reprimanded by this also very strong Senate President a few days ago, and he didn't expect to be so cowardly when he came to McLaughlin in a blink of an eye.

Amelia didn't let these people wait long, and as soon as the secretaries who poured water for these bigwigs put down their cups, he walked in from the other door of the conference room with a large teacup that had been used for many years, and his face was also full of solemnity, and the president, who had always been known for his proximity, kindness, and elegance, had completely forgotten these habits at this time.

By the time he sat down, the entire conference room was silent, and the president's methods were evident in the way these unruly fellows could behave like this.

"John, you know this best, tell everyone about it. ”

Taking a sip of the water from her teacup, Amelia said to McLaughlin.

Seeing Amelia's attitude, McLaughlin knew that this matter was stable, at least he wouldn't be punished too much.

Clearing his throat, McLaughlin reported the things that had happened that day to everyone present, among them, when he said the identity of the inner ghost, except for a few people in the military who had just known this, several people, including Amelia, were surprised to let out, to know that the significance of setting up the detective department is to suppress the internal rebellion, and it turned out that the problem was here.

Only then did Lennon and Missy Rowling understand why Kakino had just coaxed McLaughlin in front of him, and if someone was to be recruited to take the blame, he would be the one who deserved to take the blame.

Several members of the military had calmed down at this time, and even Bach didn't make any noise, but the eyes they looked at Kakino like a knife in the body of the senator, making his expression even more embarrassed.

But how much do you want to say that this matter really has to do with Kakino, the guy who recommended Christian Bale to him in the first place has been dead for several years, and he can't be dug up from the cemetery and whipped the corpse, thinking of this, Kakino suddenly thought about whether there was something wrong with the guy he recommended before, that person died in a car accident.

It's just that now is not the time to think about this, McLaughlin is still there to analyze the current situation for everyone, and he is ready to wait for this question to be raised.

Before McLaughlin could finish speaking, a secretary handed a piece of paper from behind him, and when he saw the text on it, he looked sad and interrupted McLaughlin's statement.

"The Mikel detachment has been determined to have encountered an accident, and the Kik Federation Border Force has detected a skirmish at a location less than 200 kilometers from Mirama and Vihan Land to the border with the Kik Federation, and their detection devices indicate that a force of airships containing at least three capital ships left the scene just over half an hour after the battle. This is the news that the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have just received from the Quik Federation. ”

The Kick Federation is one of the small countries that are most loyal to the Silver Eagle Republic in the Glory of Freedom, so the information reported from there is generally not anything to hide, and even a few bigwigs in the military know that those large detection devices that can detect movements hundreds of kilometers away are still privately aided by them to the Kick Federation.

Therefore, Amelia's words can be regarded as the death sentence of Mikel's fleet, which makes the mood of everyone in the conference room even more depressed.

"Mr. President, this is a declaration of war, this is a declaration of war by the Clevelands against us, and we have to respond. ”

Admiral Jordan stood up and said, several military generals also echoed it, and the other few people who did not speak did not speak out against it, no matter what the psychologist thought, this statement at this time is at least politically correct.

Amelia was not furious, but as a qualified president, he knew that now was not the time, so he raised his hand and pressed it weakly, stopped the clamor of several generals, and then said.

"Let's wait a moment and let's hear Director McLaughlin finish the whole story. In any case, the Republic will definitely give an explanation to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives. ”

Amelia's words calmed the generals, and McLaughlin began to review the whole affair again.

He only mentioned the entire process of the Cleveland fleet's attack on the Wesleyan fleet this time, and the specific details of the Air Force's Admiral Jordan should be reported, but he still focused on the role played by Ye Wenqin in it, so that this young man who had just been praised by Katarina a few months ago appeared in the field of vision of the top of the Silver Eagle Republic again.

Then he mainly narrated the whole timeline of events, the role played by Bell, the Clevelands, and even Miramar and the Vihan Lands, of course, many details that he did not know now, such as how the Cleveland people were connected to the strange country of Miramar and the Vihan Lands, most of which were inferred through their existing information.

When the whole incident was presented in front of everyone, whether it was the officials who opposed the direct declaration of war in their hearts, or several bigwigs in the military, they all completely calmed down at this time, just as Rivera had judged before, when the ins and outs of the whole incident were figured out by the Silver Eagle people, their first reaction would definitely not be to seek revenge on them, but would focus on Mirama and Wei Handi.

Just like in this conference room now, everyone's thoughts are, "What to do with this Erwuzai?"
