Chapter 1044: Scandal Whirlpool
The sound of propellers roared in the air, and five transport helicopters arrived over the 7th Research Institute.
When looking at the dense crowd below, Horvath, who was wearing a jet-black combat uniform, felt his scalp numb. When he was dispatched, he was already prepared to fight with the gun-wielding thugs. However, there were no militants anywhere at the scene. shadow.
Apart from the wreckage on the ground, he only saw from the air the demonstrators who had rushed into the institute and the broadcast trucks from major media outlets around the world.
"Sir?" The mercenary sitting next to him gave him a questioning look.
After hesitating for a moment, Horvat pressed the button on the headset and ordered.
"Loss height and prepare to rappel."
Five helicopters hovered in front of the institute's main entrance, and dozens of special forces descended to the ground via ropes.
The protestors had already rushed into the institute. Ambulances and fire trucks formed a circle at the entrance. Stretchers and cameras were shuttled through the venue. The scene was extremely chaotic. Police reinforcements from Munich were trying to control the situation and remove irrelevant people and media from the institute, but their efforts were of no avail in the face of angry protesters and aggressive reporters.
Munich Police Chief Delek leaned anxiously next to the police car. This time he deployed a hundred police officers from Munich for reinforcements. However, it was still a drop in the bucket in the face of the protesters who had stormed into the institute.
Obviously, the reporters had discovered something extraordinary inside the institute. The body bags with numbers on them were lined up in the open space in front of the institute, and the director of the institute, who had a bruised nose and face, was carried into an ambulance. The protesters asked the police who should be arrested, and the police asked the police chief the same question. Delek didn't know how to answer the question, so he had to report it along with his confusion.
However, until now, his superiors have not given him any clear instructions, but just kept repeating one sentence - "Control the situation."
With the heavily armed mercenaries, Horvath walked up to Delek and showed him the certificate for entering the security zone... Actually, the certificate no longer mattered. The security zone was now filled with protesters who could not be driven away.
"Where's Carol?" Horvat asked in a low voice after glancing at the protesting crowd.
"Are you talking about the director of the institute? He has been carried into the ambulance." Delek raised his chin and pointed to the ambulance next to him. "He looks a little miserable. You'd better be mentally prepared... … We almost didn’t recognize him when we grabbed him from the protesters.”
Horvath's brow twitched.
Walk towards the ambulance.
Looking at the mercenaries squeezing into the crowd, the protesters next to them cast a hostile look.
"Arrow Company? Where is our 9th Counter-Terrorism Group? When did Petrie outsource 'anti-terrorism' to military contractors?"
"Who knows, maybe next time they will even outsource the votes."
"Aha, then I have to quickly register a printing factory and prepare to bid."
Ignoring the protesting crowd, Horvath pushed aside the demonstrators blocking him, walked to the ambulance, showed the ID in his hand to the medical staff, carried Carroll out of the surrounded ambulance, and used The sound of the gun bolt scared off the demonstrators who were about to move forward, and they withdrew in the direction of the helicopter under the cover of a human wall formed by other mercenaries.
"Shet, this guy was beaten into a pig's head." A mercenary whispered as he pushed the stretcher onto the transport helicopter.
"As long as the person is right." Horvat glanced at him, ordered the medical soldiers to treat his wounds, and then turned back to the crowd.
Although he was beaten badly, luckily Carol, who was lying on the stretcher, still had one breath, otherwise he would have been hard-pressed to explain to his superiors.
In addition to the director of the institute, other researchers surrounded by mobs were also waiting for rescue. When Horvath rescued several key researchers from the locked office and returned to the helicopter, the dying Carroll also Wake up.
Horvat sat next to him and looked into his eyes and asked.
"Where's Jeff? Why didn't I see his people?"
"Jeff..." It took Carol a while to search out the owner of this name from her dizzy brain.
After coughing violently, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his heaving chest.
"He was taken away by rebels."
"How is it possible, with Jeff's skills?" A mercenary couldn't help but interjected.
Horvat frowned, raised his hand to stop the man, looked at Carol and asked.
"Tell me the details at that time."
"The rebels hacked into the security system of the underground research institute and opened the alloy door. The last mercenaries and the rebel soldiers exchanged fire in the corridor in front of the main entrance. Jeff took me and retreated to the office at the back of the laboratory. .Then……"
"Then?"
Recalling the disaster that happened an hour ago, a trace of panic appeared on Carol's face. Suppressing the fear in his heart, he recounted the scene that happened with difficulty.
"Then they quickly pushed the battle line to the door and threw a grenade into the door. Jeff and the other three people lay down, but the grenade did not explode, there was only a very weak electric sound, and then they crawled on the ground If I couldn't get up, I was knocked unconscious by the rebels who rushed into the door. If I guessed correctly, that one should be——"
"EMP" Horvath muttered to himself, saying the three letters for him.
…
In the manor in Finland, Carmen quietly listened to the report of her subordinates on the phone.
The 7th Research Institute was breached by a rebel organization calling itself the "German People's Liberation Front". They released the video of the battle in the basement research institute. Not only did they publish the evidence of suspected human experimentation to the world, they also surrounded those who were trapped in the research institute. The protesters at the door were let in.
"Traces of EMP weapons were found at the scene." Johnson said solemnly.
When it comes to these three letters, you don't even need to guess who is behind it. For non-nuclear explosive EMP weapons, only Starlink Trading in the world has mastered this technology. But Carmen still didn't expect that not only could they shrink the EMP and put it on an unguided support rocket, but they could also shrink it further and make it an easy-to-carry grenade.
After listening to Johnson's report, Carmen said nothing. After pondering for a long time, he picked up the phone, called the Krupp Group, gave instructions on the improvement of the 'Lightning' mechanical exoskeleton for EMP weapons, and then hung up the phone.
After being left alone for a long time, Johnson waited for Carmen to finish calling, hesitated for a moment, and asked.
"...What should we do now."
"I allow you to use all the resources of Arrow Company in Germany to find them and strangle them in their cradle."
"As commanded."
Johnson nodded slightly and quickly left the office.
Looking at the closed office door, Carmen gritted her teeth. Staring at the golden apple on the table with hazy eyes, he spoke word by word.
"You will pay the price for your stupidity."

(Someone on Penguin chatted with me privately yesterday and asked me if I was embarrassed to see the results of the US election. I really didn’t feel embarrassed at all, I just felt surprised. It’s not that I was surprised that Trump was elected, but that I was surprised. Why did someone ask that? If I I remember correctly. I said it more than once. The story in the novel takes place in a parallel world and should not be linked to reality. Let alone the president of the United States, which leader of China, Japan, Germany, and Country X in the book is exactly the same as in reality? Dutt Why didn't anyone write about Walter when he was president of the Philippines? Next year is the German election again. Do I have to be president of Petrie to write about him? If I can predict the email scandal, why don't I buy a lottery ticket? ?
I am not a prophet, and I have never intended to be one. Whoever the plot needs to be, will do it. The time in the book has reached 19 years, and the 2020 election is about to begin. Since some children like that lunatic so much, the worst we can do is appoint him in 20 years~
Finally, I would like to say that regarding the future, the book only discusses possibilities, not inevitability. The current world view in the book is set in 16 years when Xiba was elected, and that's it. ) (To be continued.) Activate new URL
