Chapter 174 New Job

White House Press Conference

The guns and cannons in the audience have been prepared for a long time, and the reporters are eagerly waiting.

When the time came to 10 a.m., the new press secretary, personally appointed by President Underwood, straightened his suit and walked from behind the scenes to the podium.

In front of the microphone, he looked at the media reporters in the audience and said, "Good morning, friends from the media. I am Flick Winston, the new White House press secretary."

After introducing himself, Winston continued: "First of all, please allow me to make a statement.

In response to today's media revelations that the CIA was involved in a series of assassinations code-named "Tripstone", the President held an emergency cabinet meeting last night to discuss the matter.

Documents released by the media show that former CIA Director Martin Kramer authorized this illegal operation, which involved the killing of six American citizens. Martin Kramer is currently under investigation..."

Before the spokesperson had finished speaking, the reporters below were already scrambling to raise their hands to ask questions.

……

Somewhere in Liverpool, seeing the chaos at the conference, Mia picked up the remote control and changed the channel.

"According to reliable information, all members of the assassination operation code-named 'Treadstone' are currently in the custody of the FBI, but the person in charge, Noah Walton, had committed suicide before the FBI arrived. According to insiders, Noah should have just pretended

He is a chess piece on the surface, but behind the scenes may be other high-level government officials."

"Why does the CIA target sports stars? We expect the FBI to give the answer as soon as possible."

"The 'Tripstone' plan may also involve the late agent Alexander Conklin and the mysteriously missing former CIA deputy director Ward Abbott. There may be another hidden secret in this."

I changed several channels in a row, and the news was full of reports about the CIA. It was completely different from the previous obscurity.

……

In one of the brightest offices of MI6 on the banks of the Thames, Mrs. M also watched the news.

She pinched her sore eyebrows and turned off the TV.

Picking up the coffee and walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, Mrs. M looked at the sparkling Thames River outside the window and took an elegant sip of coffee.

She didn't expect that Martin Kramer would fall so quickly, and her good relationship would be in vain.

Soon, Mrs. M regained her composure. This was just a smooth favor. Even if it was in vain, there would be no loss to herself or Britain.

……

A few days later, things finally made progress.

The evidence is conclusive, and probably because the new president just took office and did not want to be involved in scandals, the matter was quickly concluded.

The state prosecutor filed a whopping 21 charges against Martin Krem, including illegal imprisonment, murder, illegal use of public resources, etc.

If convicted, Martin Cremo's sentence may be hundreds of years in prison.

Just as Jack expected, the government did not pursue the faults of other staff members of Stumbling Block.

In response to this kind of situation, in fact, the approaches of governments in various countries are similar, focusing on the big and letting go of the small. After all, most people are just poor workers and have no ability to decide anything.

Affected by this incident, the CIA had a large number of layoffs. Team 4, where Jack and his team were located, happened to be on the layoff list.

A few people just didn't want to do it anymore. Since Jack joined the fourth team, he has encountered a lot of betrayals, betrayals, pursuits, and disgusting things.

But don't think that's the end of the matter, Pamela Landi betrayed them.

Maybe it wasn't Randy who betrayed them, but the guy named McCall.

Jack is not ready to let him go.

"Robert McCall, a black male, 58 years old, served in the CTU during the Jack Bauer era, later left the CTU to join the CIA, retired after 'Black Ops', now lives in Boston, and works as a taxi driver."

Goncharova read out the information she found one by one, thanks to the 'stumbling block'.

‘Stumbling Block’ once found out about McCall, and this information was recorded in the dossier. When everyone got the dossier, they also got it.

The Fourth Team has not made this file public because it involves themselves. Once it is made public, it may cause confusion about their identity.

After hearing that he was a taxi driver and seeing the photo, Jack already recognized who this guy was.

But why do the protagonists in the movie have to go against themselves?

"This alone is not enough, we need more information."

Now that you have decided to retaliate against the other party, you must have detailed intelligence, especially to deal with this kind of person, it is right to prepare more.

Goncharova and Benji started to search on the computer. The profession of hacker is actually very talented.

Just like cracking passwords.

Relying on brute force cracking by exhaustive methods is a bad idea. Powerful hackers will write their own algorithms, birthdays, social security numbers, phone numbers, a special holiday, some common words...

A person's password must be related to his living habits. People think that no one can guess something as private as a password, but in fact there are rules, and there is even a science called cryptography.

Goncharova has always been a hacker and has many gadgets of her own.

Banji's previous work was more based on the support of various government systems, but he himself is also very capable.

While the two were busy, suddenly Benji's phone rang.

After getting through and saying a few words, Benji’s expression became increasingly strange.

"I need to think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Mia saw something wrong with his face and was about to ask what was going on when Benji's phone rang again.

Banji answered the call again, this time his expression was even stranger.

After hanging up the phone, I was still a little confused and seemed to be immersed in the content of the phone call.

When everyone looked at him, Mia couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Benji seemed to have come back to his senses.

"Uh...nothing..."

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Mia asked again: "What happened? Who called?"

"Uh...it's the IMF."

Everyone was a little curious when they heard this name.

"Ethan Hunt?"

"Yes."

Benji nodded, there is nothing to hide.

"What about the other one?"

"That one is from the NSA."

"What do they want from you?"

The IMF and NSA couldn't fight each other, but they both came to Benji at the same time. Now everyone was even more curious.

"Uh... they knew I had just lost my job and asked me if I had any idea of ​​going to their place."

Hmm?

Everyone looked at each other, especially Jack and Mia.

Why?

Why were the three of them laid off at the same time? Someone immediately extended an olive branch to Benji, but no one cared about the two of them.

Why is this?

Just when the two were cynical, Mia's phone rang at the right time.

Mia looked like I knew it, picked up the phone, said a few words and then put it down.

"Called from NSA."
Chapter completed!
