Chapter 493: Countermeasures
A huge roar resounded through the Night City, and even on Charter Mountain, which was several city districts away, a sound like explosives destroying a boulder could be heard, like a thunderclap that pierced the sky above the city, shaking everyone in the city.
Not far from the place where the plane crashed, the people in the Baobao Green Building were also stunned to look at the building that was destroyed by the plane, and the wreckage of the plane that was falling to the ground at the moment, and the black smoke rising up was like a giant tower, which was particularly conspicuous at noon on a clear day.
"That plane... What exactly is the origin? David was the first to recover from his shock and subconsciously asked around.
However, the few people next to him did not answer his doubts, no one could answer this question for him, and several people standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the outside world were as confused and shocked as him.
"Sky One, the exclusive car of President Myers, has unhindered access to all the airspace of the country, so according to common sense, no one can direct this plane to take off except the president himself, and only she herself is on the plane, and this plane can fly at high altitude."
A calm answer came from behind him, and the eyes of the people who focused on the wreckage of the plane immediately attracted it.
Facing the surprised and questioning eyes of everyone, Lin Mo's face was still calm, and the corners of his mouth also outlined a smile:
"If a plane of this caliber crashes, do you think the president will sit on the plane?"
"Is that why you called us all here?" Mann asked rhetorically, with a serious expression.
At this moment, hearing Mann's question, everyone standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window reacted one after another, and also realized that Lin Mo's behavior was wrong.
If they had just met Lin Mo, then it would be nice to say that this matter was an unexpected accident... Even if the accident is a bit big.
However, it was not the first day they knew Lin Mo, so they naturally understood the various miracles of the boy in front of them.
In the past, the boys have shown this ability to act like a god many times, and they have developed some immunity to it.
So Lin Mo specially called them over, it must have been for this crash.
"Why do they still have a 'I knew it was like this' expression? Has this kid done something similar before, calling people over and pretending to be like an old god? Johnny leaned sideways against the wall and asked in confusion as he turned to V.
He didn't have been with Lin Mo for a long time like Mann and David, and even before he was called over this morning, he didn't know who these people were, except for V, Lucy, and Sasha.
So much so that now he is confused, what kind of guessing game are these guys playing? Why did they all start to show an epiphany?
This atmosphere of "everything is in silence" makes it as if he is an idiot.
"I don't know." V shook his head slightly.
Well, it seems that he is not the only idiot.
Seeing that V was also as confused as himself, Johnny Silver was relieved, and continued to look at Lin Mo calmly, wanting to see what medicine was still sold in this kid's gourd.
Lin Mo smiled firmly and explained to himself:
"Wait, you'll know what you're supposed to do in a moment, and in a few moments, the leader of Dogtown should invite us to talk to it."
Colonel Hansen?
David's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly remembered the sturdy man who had a relationship with each other.
The fact that these people were able to come to the scene of last night's attack at such a time must have been with the permission of Hansen, the leader of Dog Town.
So when he came to Dogtown in the morning, David had already met Colonel Hansen, who was quite famous in Night City.
As if to confirm his words, just as Lin Mo's words fell, the elevator at the outermost edge of the hall suddenly opened.
The electronic door slowly opened, and several Nether Dog soldiers with loaded guns walked out, led by one of them, walking towards Lin Mo with hurried steps.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Colonel Hansen, please, I hope you will come with us, time is pressing." The man said without any fuss.
"Let's go." Lin Mo smiled and beckoned, beckoning the rest of the people to follow him.
......
......
101st Floor, Conference Hall, Jewel Green Building.
At the huge conference table, Colonel Hansen sat in the first place, Lin Mo sat on the side, and Mann, David and the others sat down at random to find a place.
In addition to these outsiders, there were also many Nether Dog non-commissioned officers in military uniforms in the conference hall, each of whom sat upright without saying a word with a serious look on their faces.
The hall was so quiet that only the sound of Lin Mo and his party sitting down, and a slightly uneasy and depressing atmosphere gradually enveloped the entire hall.
"Mr. Lin, as the representative of the dog town sent by the Kangtao Company, do you understand the reason why I called you over in such a hurry?" Seeing that everyone was already seated, Colonel Hansen immediately asked Lin Mo.
This time he came back to Dog Town, and he could still stay at the scene of last night's attack to investigate clues, and Lin Mo also borrowed the name of Kangtao Company for this.
Han Sen is also the leader of a faction, and in a place like Dog Town, which is similar to "Guoguo", he is no different from the Tu Emperor, and it is difficult to communicate with him with his ordinary identity alone.
After thinking about it again and again, Lin Mo still felt that it was easier to pull the banner of Kangtao Company.
Anyway, his eldest sister is now one of the people who speak to the Night City Kangtao Branch, and he himself can contact the headquarters at any time, which is not worth mentioning at all.
"Is it the Sky One crashing in Dogtown?" Lin Mo told the truth with a smile.
Han Sen was not surprised, nodded calmly, and said approvingly: "It can be seen that your company's intelligence work is quite good, and in less than ten minutes, you have already learned the origin of that plane." ”
He only thought that Lin Mo had obtained the information from the Kangtao Company.
"So Colonel Hansen called us over to help us testify and prove your innocence?" Lin Mo then asked.
"Yes, that's right." Hansen sighed, his expression was quite complicated, and he looked like he had chewed on shit for no reason:
"I have already sent people to the place where the plane fell, and I have also sent many people to investigate the source of the missile, you can also see that this accident has nothing to do with me or Dog Town, and the missile that caused the plane to crash was definitely done by our people!"
"Understandably, you really don't have a motive to do such a thing." Lin Mo nodded in agreement, then changed his words, and said, "But what the people outside will think, it's not for us to decide." ”
"This... I'm a rough person who can still understand that this accident is definitely someone who deliberately poured dirty water on me, and the person who can do this kind of thing... Damn, who the hell did I mess with! Hansen said through gritted teeth.
He can almost foresee the scene of himself being criticized by the outside media in the future, and if he can't find any clues in the future, then he may be guilty of framing the new American president.
Even now, he doesn't understand who he is targeting.
And the only object of suspicion is the new US President Myers, and only she can do the act of causing the Aerospace 1 to crash... But what is her motive?
"Don't you understand why you're being targeted?" Lin Mo looked at Han Sen's face seriously.
"The ghost knows how much is stuffed into the heads of the people who instructed this behind the scenes, our dog town is such a big place, it has been so long since the unification war, and it has been targeted for a long time since it was targeted, why wait until now!" Han Sen's expression was grim, and he turned his head and glanced at Lin Mo:
"And the only thing I've been busy with recently is thinking about planning cooperation with your Kangtao company, except for this one thing, where do we get such a big capital, it is worth the other party to use a presidential plane as a price to frame the blame."
Even Hansen doesn't know why he's being targeted by Miles?
Lin Mo's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel that this matter was getting more and more strange.
He cleared his throat and asked:
"Rather than thinking about the purpose of the people behind the scenes, let's get to the things in front of us... Mr. Hansen, Sky One crashed in Dogtown, do you know what Shinmi will do after this? ”
"Heh, this is Lao Tzu's territory, and Night City is also a recognized autonomous city, so they dare to send armed forces over?" Hansen said disdainfully.
Lin Mo said with a chuckle: "It's definitely not okay to come openly, but I'm afraid that Xinmei will send someone over in the name of the investigation team on the surface, but in fact, he will send agents to make trouble behind his back, if you want to prove your innocence, can you still have a reason to block their investigation?" ”
"It's a big deal!" Hansen said unwillingly.
During the past Unification War, their troops finally occupied Dog Town as a base area, thinking that they could do something for the country and themselves.
But in the end, it was the Arasaka Company that intervened, and Shinmi suddenly gave in to the soft Yoshiwa, and their army was abandoned as an outcast.
After experiencing this kind of "betrayal", Hansen will not have a good impression of Xinmei, and it is good not to make enemies.
That being said, this is the next step after all.
Dogtown's "prosperity" since its establishment is inseparable from Dogtown's transcendent status in Night City, which is similar to "China of China", and it is also inseparable from the thriving black market channels and smuggling trade.
If Dogtown clashes with Xinmei, it is foreseeable that these black market channels and smuggling trade will cease to exist.
"It's not in our interest." Lin Mo restrained his smile and said seriously:
"If Dogtown is framed and trapped in the charge of attacking the president and cannot prove itself, then the cooperation between Kangtao and Dogtown will be shelved, and we will not get involved in this troubled water."
Han Sen looked at Lin Mo with a gloomy face, not at all surprised by his words.
In the final analysis, he didn't expect Kangtao Company to help him, and the "friendship" between the two of them has not yet reached the point of sharing hardships.
"Tell me your opinion, does Mr. Lin have his own ideas?" Hansen suddenly pointed out the meaning of Lin Mo's words.
Unable to prove itself, Kangtao will cancel the cooperation between the two parties.
If you can prove yourself, wouldn't Kang Tao be able to help a little?
Han Sen also heard that the Kangtao Company, represented by Lin Mo, wanted Dog Town to give up the idea of fighting Xinmei to the end, and instead adopted a way of self-proof and innocent, and accepted the investigation of Xinmei and the outside world in a dignified manner.
In this case, how can Kang Tao help?
"If Xinmei sends an investigation team to Dog Town to search for evidence in the future, Mr. Hansen can accept it generously, and even let the media company follow up the whole investigation, as long as you haven't done this kind of thing, they will definitely not be able to investigate." Lin Mo smiled and said:
"However, we all know that New Meiyi is not here, and there will definitely be elite agents operating behind the scenes. That's when our side can step in and arrange for someone to dispose of these sneaky agents, and never let them do anything in Dogtown. ”
Hansen frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about whether Lin Mo's method was feasible.
First of all, Shinmi would never dare to send force into Night City on the open side, and if they want to wreak havoc, they must have a cover.
And the investigation team is a disguise, and there are definitely a lot of "sharpening" agents hidden in the entire team.
In order not to leave a handle unhandled, his Nether Dog troops must not be used at will... But if other forces are allowed to intervene, it has nothing to do with him.
After all, he accepted the investigation openly, and the people of your investigation team did not listen to the arrangement, ran around casually, and were killed on the street, who can blame them?
"Not a bad idea... But what are you going to do with those agents? Hansen asked.
Lin Mo didn't answer, just smiled and glanced at David, Mann and the others sitting next to him.
It's all in plain sight.
