"This ......"
Major General Arnold looked embarrassed, and was thinking of some excuse to prevaricate.Suddenly, there was a noise at the door.A soldier from the anti-terrorist unit walked in through the door and saluted before Major General Arnold and Cook."
General, Major Michelle wants to meet Deputy Chief Cook."
Arnold was in a dilemma when he was in a dilemma, and Michelle's appearance solved his big problem."
Please let her in."
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Arnold didn't even think about it, and immediately asked his subordinates to invite Michelle in.Although I don't know what Michelle came for, at least he can solve his urgent need and avoid Cook's request.The door was rudely pushed open, and Michelle approached Cook and Arnold as if engulfed in rage."
Deputy Director Cook, I ask you to stop pursuing Qin Fei immediately!""
Why?"
Cook looked at Michelle in front of him, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and Cook was prepared for everything that would happen in this operation.This includes Michelle coming to him sooner or later to ask for his guilt.However, he didn't expect it to be so early.Things were a little unexpected."
Because your actions were not approved by the CIA Action Committee, this is your private actions!"
Michelle said unceremoniously aloud.It was as if a bombshell had been dropped on the command center.Of course, this didn't help the Cornerstone Project agents in the command center, and they knew the nature of their operations.But Michelle is definitely not an idiot, she knows exactly what she wants.Baron Harvey had now begun to contact the CIA headquarters to contact their director, and Michelle had not been here in the slightest to help the negotiation process throughout the time.However, in doing so, she can disrupt the steps and rhythms of the entire command center.Cook and his men knew the nature of the operation, but the Colombian side did not.As the deputy director of the CIA, Cook has a great deal of power, and he can have the authority to approve ad hoc actions, but when Michelle is so noisy, the rest of the command center is careful.Especially the commander of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, Major General Arnold, who was himself afraid of wolves and tigers.He had not known the nature of Operation Cook's actions as temporary acts of a private and private nature, but now he knew that this had been decisive in his choice.Michelle's words were like adding a decisive weight to one end of a wavering scale, causing Arnold to jump out of the center of the whole incident in an instant, and see the current state of affairs clearly with the mentality of a bystander - Cook's actions are not completely regular, and i17 has now grasped the other party's handle.Obviously, the head of the I17 will immediately contact the CIA, and the situation of seizing command will soon change, although it is not known what the outcome will be, but Arnold has immediately seen where he is, and he has decided that he cannot wade into this troubled water."
I'm the deputy commissioner, and I have the authority to approve the action."
Although Cook was shocked enough in his heart, he couldn't see a trace of surprise on his face, and his expression still looked like a rock sculpture without any change: "Major Michelle, please pay attention to your own identity, you are not worthy to point fingers at me in this command center!"
Who do you think you are?
You're just an operational commander, and it's up to you to call the shots here. ”"General, this is your place, please send Major Michelle out, I still have to command the operation."
Cook coldly looked at Arnold.Major General Arnold swallowed quietly, and experience told him that the most suitable role for him to play now was to act as a peacemaker, and no one should be offended."
Major."
He walked to Michelle's side, and his tone no longer had the condescending tone he had before, for a major general, his military rank was several levels higher than Michelle, but at this time he said in a tone similar to begging: "At present, the command here is in charge of Deputy Director Cook, I think you should know that as a soldier, I also have difficulties, don't make it difficult for me." ”The meaning of these words is already very clear.Of course, Michelle could hear it, and she knew she couldn't turn things around all at once here, but the purpose of doing so had now been achieved, and she wanted everyone who wasn't part of the cornerstone project to know that Cook was abusing his power.Now that everyone had clearly heard, the light in her eyes told her that there were already a number of Colombian counter-terrorism soldiers and officers whispering and exchanging words.The goal has been achieved, and it is time to retreat.Michelle glanced at Cook coldly: "Mr.
Deputy Director, I think you should understand one thing, your time is running out, and I warn you, don't think that the British Empire really has nothing to do with you America, we are still allies, I declare here, and also convey a word to our superior, Baron Harvey, to you, Qin Fei is our man, if he has any mistakes, please take all the responsibility." ”With that, turn around and leave.Arnold hesitated for less than half a second, and immediately followed Michelle towards the outside of the command center.It looked like he was trying to reassure Michelle, but in fact the major general didn't want to stay in the command center, especially with Cook's side, for a second longer, lest the latter give him some more orders that would embarrass him.In this situation, Major General Arnold, the old turtle of officialdom, has decided to do nothing, and even decided to give Lieutenant Colonel Mario an order after leaving the command center, asking him to order all the anti-terrorist units not to get involved in the operation commanded by Cook, and then leave the city of Cali by plane and return to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau in Bogotá.It was a muddy water, and he decided to get out of it.When Major General Arnold and Michelle disappeared outside the door, Cook suddenly slammed his fist on the conference table.He knew that all of this was messing with Michelle now, and that although the anti-terrorist forces here would ostensibly be under his command, it was probably impossible for them to send helicopters and drones to support the cornerstone project operation team operating in the jungle."
Damn!
Bastard!
”He couldn't have imagined that Michelle would find out so quickly that this operation was a temporary operation approved by himself, which was Cook's biggest weakness.Politics and officialdom are unavoidable, even by the heads of intelligence services.Now, time is really running out for myself.He is very clear about the communication channel between i17 and the CIA, if he guesses correctly, from now on, within two hours, the matter will be agreed upon by the top leaders of both sides, and he, as the deputy director, will also be invited to participate in the video conference, but in the video conference, he has no good reason to continue to order the hunt for Qin Fei, because as Michelle said, Qin Fei is a person from i17, and the British Empire and the United States are allies, and they can't attack their allies, at least if their identities are already clear.The phone vibrated in the pocket.Cook took it out and saw that the number was from his immediate boss, the director of the CIA.That's fast!
He secretly scolded his mother in his heart, Harvey's old man was really an old man in the intelligence community, and he had already asked his immediate boss, Director Rosen, to call him so quickly.Picking up the phone, he was about to press the call button when his fingers stopped on the keyboard."
Anna, immediately contact 'Bandito', send a helicopter to pick them up here, and then airdrop them near Garcia's camp in the Amazon jungle, connect them and the action team's channel, and let them kill Qin Fei and Morris in two hours!"
Anna didn't react all of a sudden, after Michelle's trouble, many people felt that things had become complicated, but they didn't expect Cook to suddenly give an order to mobilize the SEALs, and give a kill order!
This is obviously a time difference, and it must cause Qin Fei to die, which is really risky."
Quick!
Do you want me to say it a second time?
”Cook became furious, like a vicious dog that had been stepped on by its tail, and roared wildly.
“yessir！”
Anna shuddered, and immediately turned around and began to make contact.Cook walked to a corner of the command center with his phone and pressed the call button."
Director Rosen, what are your instructions?""
Cook, you're in Columbia?""
That's right, I'm in Cali."
Cook didn't intend to hide it, because he couldn't."
Supposedly you're hunting down an i17 employee?
And to kill him?
”Rosen's voice looked a little displeased, "I don't seem to know about this operation. ”"That's right, because we found the traces of the CIA traitor Morris in Cali, Colombia, and the I17 employee I hunted down, he killed our undercover agent in the Garcia drug cartel, Morris was already controlled by us, they took Maurice first, this matter is not as simple as Harvey told you, the reason is very complicated, Director, my operation is very important to us, Morris has a lot of our top-secret technology, this person will either be arrested back, Either let him disappear from the earth, and I personally prefer the latter, he is a threat to us, a bad asset for our CIA. ”Director Rosen was silent for a moment, apparently gauging the credibility of Cook's words.Soon, Rosen replied: "Cook, now that things are getting bigger, who is Harvey, I think you know very well, if he wants, he can go to the Intelligence Committee, I think you and I don't want to go to Congress to explain to those lawmakers, and I also want to participate in any hearings, so let's ask us to hold a video conference and talk face to face, I think it is necessary, you temporarily order your men not to kill each other." ”"Yes, I accept the meeting."
Cook said.He couldn't say yes, but he definitely didn't want to.Cook already had a plan in his heart, the so-called general had disobeyed the military orders abroad, and now promised Rosen that even if Qin Fei was killed in the future, he could use excuses such as signal interference and inability to contact the action team.Anyway, in a place like Amazon, bad signal is common, and high-tech is not omnipotent.Breaking off the call, he turned back to Anna and asked, "How's the matter going?"
”"The SEALs have been contacted, and the 'Bandito' detachment is already organizing boarding, and they will be airdropped to the designated area within an hour.""
Tell them, do you want to kill?""
Your instructions have been communicated."
After Anna finished speaking, she quietly licked her lips, she felt a pang of nervousness, which made her feel a little thirsty.
