Chapter 259 The Reaction From the Other Side of the Ocean
A lot happened that night.
The misjudgment of Jiang Chen's strength resulted in painful casualties. Misjudging Jiang Chen's reaction, the general staff lost control of Jiang Chen's whereabouts.
Who would have thought that an ordinary person would suddenly become an armored "Iron Man" like a superhero in a Hollywood blockbuster? Who would have thought that an "honest man" who had always been obedient would suddenly say angrily, "Sorry, I'm not your subordinate"?
From the perspective of God, the focus of all intertwined clues is on Jiang Chen. However, because of their respective intelligence blind spots, and the premise that it is impossible for the two parties to sit at the same table to exchange views, this conflict seems to have been put together by the General Staff.
Regardless of how nervous the General Staff was about Jiang Chen's disappearance, someone on the other side of the ocean was extremely nervous.
Although it was still early morning in China, it was daytime in Washington State on the other side of the earth.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, here is the White House.
At this moment, John Brennan was standing in front of the president's desk with a face full of embarrassment, but he couldn't find the aggressive look in the past. If it was normal, he would definitely not be so humble in front of this black ghost, because the CIA is independent of the intelligence system, and even Congress has no right to ask about its specific details. From this point of view, his life is much more comfortable than Obama who has to be impeached by Congress at every turn.
Standing next to John was James Comey, who was full of schadenfreude. Compared with the white-haired old man, this middle-aged man who is only 35 years old looks much more capable. There's nothing more satisfying than watching a bitter rival slump.
That's right. Although serving the same government, the relationship between the two organizations is not that friendly. The history of the "love and killing" of the two parties can be traced back to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States during World War II. It was precisely because of the failure of foreign intelligence work that led to the birth of the predecessor of the Strategic Intelligence Agency. In particular, the mistakes made in the Watergate incident by those who were keen on internal strife, as well as their relentless insistence, directly led to Nixon's resignation.
It can be said. Past U.S. presidents. For these two left and right eyes who often "fight cock", they can be described as love and hate.
As for now, anyway, Obama was so angry that he wanted to throw his leather shoes on John's face.
"Ahem, before the meeting starts, let's listen to a video first." James coughed lightly, raised a finger to signal the two to look here, then raised his eyebrows at his old enemy John, smiling He placed his smartphone on Obama's desk.
It's an interrogation video.
The torturer's voice was low,
Slightly hoarse. It was impossible to tell whose voice it was, but the confessor's voice was easily identifiable.
Gris, the elite detective in the United States, Obama also personally awarded him a medal.
However, this super soldier who has been born and died in Iraq several times. At this moment, there was no spirit in the voice. Rather than being depressed, it would be better to say that it is completely empty.
What kind of torture did the staff of the general staff use to force this tough guy to explain all the details of the operation in just two hours. Just listening to the lifeless voice, the three people in the president's office shuddered.
The recording is over.
John took a deep breath, loosening his tie as if feeling a little uncomfortable. Obama, on the other hand, still had a gloomy face, keeping his legs crossed on the desk. Not a word.
Seeing that the two did not speak, James smiled and spoke directly.
"Using kidnapping and coercion against a law-abiding businessman is despicable and unconstitutional. Putting aside your people who have never taken the Constitution seriously, the loss of this operation, can I think that you The Bay of Pigs incident happened again after fifty years?"
"Please pay attention to your wording, Mr. James, I am thinking of the national interest." John retorted habitually, but his voice was not confident.
"Really? But now? Our diplomatic relations with Huaguo have become more uncertain. Xianglong's research and development has not been blocked, but has been caught by Huaguo. We could have used gentle methods to pull that Huaguo businessman into the Come over here. Where do you think the agents are performing their missions, Syria? Iraq? God, that's China."
Hearing this, John's expression was a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject.
"James, I think it seems inappropriate for you to appear cheerful on this occasion."
"No, who said I was very happy, I was very angry." James held back a smile, raised his finger and rubbed his upper lip.
"No, you're laughing."
"That's your illusion, Mr. John."
"Shut up." Obama said suddenly.
Like a cockfight, John looked at James in protest, but James, who had the upper hand, just shrugged and looked at the president with a smile on his face.
"Now, let's discuss how to deal with this matter." Taking a deep breath, Obama said with a dark face.
"First of all, we should find a way to rescue the more than 20 missing agents. Since Gris was interrogated, it can at least show that they did not die in the exchange of fire, but were captured." John tried to calm down, slowly stated.
"However, until now, Huaguo has not made any statement on this matter. Could it be that I made a phone call and confessed my mistake to them? Then begged them to release him?" Obama suddenly became angry.
John's expression suddenly became awkward, and he spread his hands cheekily.
"Then write twenty-five condolence letters and send them to the families of the missing fighters."
Rubbing his sour brows, Obama sighed and sat upright with his chair propped up.
"James, where is the source of this recording?"
"It appeared in the mailbox of one of my competent officers two hours ago. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he immediately sent this audio file to my mailbox." James said proudly.
"What about the accuracy of the information?"
"I did a timbre analysis, compared it to Gris's voice, and it fit perfectly."
"Yeah." Obama just nodded and said nothing.
"Let's think about how to deal with the aftermath. After all, this is unpleasant...it has already happened." John touched his nose and said a little uncomfortably.
Seeing John's appearance, Obama was so angry that he almost wanted to curse.
Tmd, don't talk to me before the mission, and come to me to wipe my ass if something goes wrong.
But he just thought about this sentence in his heart and didn't say it.
In the past, the president of the United States who offended the CIA did not end well. If he doesn't wipe the ass of the CIA this time, there is no guarantee that he will not become the next Kennedy. After all, as the president of such a country that has a tradition of killing its own president, it is better to be more sympathetic in doing things.
Thinking so, after deliberating in his mind, Obama said.
"Stop interfering with Xianglong immediately, the operation has failed."
Hearing this, John nodded. James, who is mainly in charge of domestic intelligence affairs, just shrugged his shoulders irrelevantly.
"If Huaguo expresses condemnation on this matter... visit China. If Huaguo doesn't say a word to those 20 or so people...then probably won't be able to find anyone. If you can find them, You just continue to send agents to look for it. Remember, don’t get caught again.” Rubbing his brows, Obama continued.
Hearing the commitment to visit China, John looked at the president gratefully and nodded again.
Visiting China means pleading for mercy. As long as those two dozen people can be rescued, John will face much less pressure.
As for the Chinese businessman, he was selectively forgotten by Obama.
After all, wiping your butt is obviously more important than a mere businessman.
It's just a Xianglong UAV system, and it's not uncommon for the United States, which is full of talents. (To be continued. (.)) () "I Have a Suite in the End Times" only represents the author's point of view. A healthy and green reading platform. 【】,thank you all!
