249 Covetousness arises
"Everybody, that's it."
"Without exception, when you see this money, it's all your expression."
Colonel Stowe, noticing that they had not kept up, turned around and walked over to Hood, clasping his hands on his chest:
"Pretty impressive, right?"
Ethan spread his hands: "Even if you are a billionaire, you will be shocked to see this scene." ”
"That's the power of money, it's all your taxpayers' money, it's going to be used on the government forces in Afghanistan, buying them guns and protecting them from the Taliban."
Colonel Sturt looked at the money in the vault, and the corners of his mouth turned up:
"And then there's the distribution to soldiers, so that they can buy informants and get intelligence, and we have half of the Afghans to raise."
As he spoke, Hood's instinct was ignited, and he nodded, quickly surveying the entire safe, including the key points and the structure of the safe.
"If we don't run out of money, we'll bring it back to count the records and send them where they belong, so that they can be used in the next war."
Colonel Stowe clapped his hands: "Let's go, let these soldiers do their job." ”
Walking through the small door next to the safe, I passed a large room with several computers and surveillance throughout the base.
Going further inside, we came to Colonel Sturt's office.
On the couch sat a middle-aged man in a blue jacket with a military pistol stuck in his lap holster.
"About the morning."
After glancing at the man, Hood said to Colonel Sturt, "Do those three soldiers have anything else besides transporting weapons?" ”
"Cash, for example?"
"Sit down."
Colonel Sturt waved his hand and sat down in the chair behind his desk: "We don't transport cash by truck, that's all the work of armored vehicles. ”
"Most of the trucks were confiscated weapons, guns that were going to be destroyed by federal agencies, AK47s, military M4s, and the like."
Hood shook his head, pulled out a chair and sat down:
"That's great news, the Red Bones are now armed like the Taliban."
Ethan took two steps back and stood with the black man who had stood up from the couch, and the two nodded to each other, and Ethan smelled a faint smell of blood on him.
Colonel Stowe picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a sip, "Excuse me, the Red Bones? ”
"It's the guy who robbed your truck this morning." Hood looked around, "They're a tribal gang from a nearby settlement. ”
Colonel Sturt pursed his lips and slowly turned the ring in his hand.
Hood focused his gaze on him, "Do you have a list of items that they snatched from those boxes?" ”
"Absolutely."
"Great, could you please have someone print a list for me."
"Sheriff, thank you so much for coming, I appreciate what you and your subordinates have done this morning."
Colonel Sturt interrupted Hood's words, turned the ring with a blank face, and said:
"These Red Bone gang goggles killed my people and stole the contents of the car, and now it's a military problem."
"The Naval Criminal Investigation Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs will all conduct joint investigations in the future."
"Trust me, you won't want to get involved."
The meaning of the refusal is already obvious, but in view of the contradiction with the Red Bone Gang, Hood still wants to try:
"Colonel, you're right, but those men will come into my town with those guns at any time."
"If that happens, you do your job and kill them."
Stowe was a little impatient, and he opened his hands:
"Allow me to put it bluntly, I've had three Marines dead here, and I don't have time to waste time with a self-righteous sheriff."
"You do your job, I do mine, understand?"
This was already an eviction order, Hood gritted his teeth and stood up:
"I understand, thank you for your time."
"You're welcome, Captain Murphy will send you out." Colonel Sturt nodded at the black man standing next to Ethan and flipped through the papers.
The two of them, led by Captain Murphy, walked to the place where the police car was parked.
Along the way, Hood quietly looked at the surveillance cameras around him.
Leaving the Genoa base, the police car drove quietly on the road, and both men had their own things on their minds.
Ethan was worried about the Bones robbing the arms, and it was a critical time for Nora to compete for chieftaincy, and he didn't want to see anything out of the Chino tribe.
If George Hunter and the Red Bones get together, it will cause him and Nora a great trouble.
When money and force are combined, the destructive power is staggering.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, Hood stopped his car on the side of the road:
"You're thinking the same thing as me, aren't you?"
"Huh?"
Hood's eyes burst into an unprecedented light: "Don't pretend, the money in that vault." ”
"You want to do something to that vault?"
Ethan reached out and touched Hood's head, "There's no fever." ”
"I'm serious."
Hood slapped his hand away, pulled out a cigarette, and handed one to Ethan: "As long as this order is done, it will be enough for us to retire." ”
Seeing his serious look, Ethan took the cigarette and lit it:
"You saw all the guards inside just now, and it is estimated that we will be shot and killed before we get close to the vault."
Hood scratched his face and said helplessly:
"I haven't lived long enough, so of course I won't choose to attack."
Ethan bit his cigarette: "I went all the way in just now, their security is all military-grade, and so is the internal network, what else can I do?" ”
The money in that vault is millions of dollars, of course he is interested, but in the current situation, it is not a matter of whether the risk is big or not, but that he has no chance to do it at all.
Hood took out his mobile phone, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Have you forgotten that we have a friend who is able to hack into the military network."
With that, he dialed out the phone and pressed the speakerphone at the same time.
"Which mom provoked Fark to find me?"
Jabber's disgruntled voice rang out, and he could hear that he was still asleep, and Ethan looked at his watch, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's me."
"I know it's you, if you have something to say, I still have to sleep."
"Don't sleep, get together at Davis's Bar at night."
"Fake, I don't want it, it's definitely not good for you to look for me, I'm going to perform in the club in the evening, and I don't want to go back to that place full of cow dung in a short time."
Ethan took the phone: "Even if this place full of cow dung has a business of seven or eight million cash, don't you want to come?" ”
"Ethan?" Jabber's voice suddenly sobered up:
"What seven or eight million in cash, what are you talking about?"
"Hello?"
Ethan didn't answer him and hung up the phone.
Throw the phone to Hood: "Don't worry, you'll be able to see him at night." ”
