In the conference room of the anti-terrorism base, Cook put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray and blew out a cloud of white smoke.
Opposite him sat Michelle, who kept staring at him without changing his gaze, like a ferocious beast staring at its prey.
"Major, you don't have to look at me like that. You killed so many of our men in South Africa, and I haven't settled the debt with you yet." Cook said, "Don't think that I can't do anything to you just by moving Baron Harvey out.
, my people will not die in vain, Qin Fei must pay for it with his life."
"Young Master, you're trying to scare me with your dead trash men! Mr. Deputy Director, don't think that our mi17 doesn't know your identity. On the surface, you are a CIA deputy director, but in fact you are taking orders from the Eagle Project organization.
, everyone is an expert, don’t think I’m a fool.”
Michelle didn't buy Cook's account at all, because she knew very well Cook's true identity. This guy was just using the guise of CIA. On the surface, he was tracking Morris, who was already on the CIA's hunting list. In fact, he was
We need to kill this computer genius who can solve Achilles' heel.
And Qin Fei was not Cook's target at all, it was just a cover.
Michelle's attitude surprised Cook. A young major dared to be so presumptuous towards him.
But it’s not surprising if you think about it carefully.
Because the MI17 department itself is very special. It is not in the regular sequence of the British intelligence department. It is just a separate department that does not exist. People in the industry know its existence, but the British side has never publicly acknowledged the existence of this department.
At this point, it is somewhat similar to the Blackstone project.
Based on this nature, mi17's style of operation is more relaxed and has a lot of freedom. Just like this time, they openly hired Qin Fei's regiment to act with them, and agents and mercenaries openly mixed together. This point alone can be seen through prying eyes.
"Major, a CIA deputy director needs evidence. Be careful with your words and deeds. Even Baron Harvey would not dare to frame me casually like you. The Eagle Project? I have never heard of it. There is evidence.
Do you have evidence? You can show it." Cook is indeed an old fox. He knows that Michelle has no evidence at all, and no matter what his selfish motives are, his actions are at least feasible and unproblematic in official matters.
, this point, even if faced with his immediate boss, Director Rosen, Cook believes that he can handle it.
Michelle snorted coldly.
Indeed, she had no evidence at hand, and Cook was right that such accusations would not help at all.
She glanced at her watch.
The time has pointed to 3:50 in the morning.
More than an hour has passed now.
She didn't know what happened to Qin Fei in the jungle.
Can you escape the pursuit of the Cornerstone Project hunting team?
An hour ago, she received news that made her even more uneasy, that is, Cook had mobilized the seal team deployed in South America and airdropped them into the Amazon jungle.
As for the purpose, just think about it with your toes and you will know what it is for.
The seal team deployed in South America is different from the people in the cornerstone project. After making a big fuss in the command center just now, I believe that I have completely frightened Major General Arnold, who was always on the fence. After that, Arnold rushed back to Bogotá immediately on the pretext of having important matters.
, it seems that the strategy of the command center of his brain worked.
This old bureaucrat had an excuse to leave the city of Cali, a place of right and wrong. He neither wanted to participate in Cook's actions, nor did he want to offend Cook by helping himself, so he simply walked away and threw away Mario as a pawn.
here.
Cook lost his temper over this and asked Mario to send anti-terrorism troops and air power to assist him in his operation, but Mario, a slippery guy like a loach, used the excuse of asking for instructions from his superiors to prevaricate him.
However, the seal team is different. They are deployed here all year round and are even equipped with their own combat aircraft and drones. Once they go into manhunt operations, Qin Fei's situation will be quite bad.
Although Michelle was very confident in Qin Fei's combat ability, Qin Fei was only one person after all. It was said that it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. The longer the time went on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Qin Fei.
Seeing Michelle's anxious look, Cook was very proud.
Everything was exactly as he expected.
Even if Baron Harvey knows the situation here, even if he communicates with the CIA, it will take time.
Especially now, nearly an hour has passed and the so-called three-party video conference still has not started.
"Major, you look very anxious." He deliberately taunted Michelle: "Baron Harvey doesn't seem to be as powerful as he thought, right? Remember, America is our territory, not yours."
"Don't be proud!" Michelle suppressed the anger in her heart and gritted her teeth: "Until now, your people don't seem to have any good news to bring back to you. If your people's search went smoothly, Morris would have been captured by now.
Right? You've always been pretending to be calm here, but in fact, your inner anxiety is no less than mine. Qin Fei is not an ordinary mercenary. It's probably not easy for your people to take advantage of him. Don't even think about playing a snake and being snaked in the end.
Bite it, my deputy director."
Cook was poked in a painful spot again, and the muscles at the corners of his eyebrows jumped slightly.
An agent knocked on the door and came in.
Cook waved to him.
The agent walked up to Cook and whispered something.
Cook stood up and glanced at Michelle opposite.
"Major, I have to go to the command center. If the meeting starts, please find someone to tell me. I will be there right away."
After that, he left Michelle alone in the video conference room and disappeared out the door with his men.
Back at the command center, as soon as he entered the door, Cook started yelling: "How could this happen!?"
He walked to Agent Anna, picked up the headphones and put them on.
"I'm Cook, why haven't we caught Maurice yet?"
"Sir, we caught the boy named Qin, but Morris was not with him."
The voice of the leader of the search team came from the earphones.
Cook glanced at the Hamilton military watch on his wrist and couldn't help but said: "Morris is just a technical geek. He doesn't understand jungle warfare at all. The boy named Qin must have hidden him somewhere. No matter what method you use,
You have to force me out of Maurice's mouth, and then grab Maurice and kill him!"
"I understand, sir. Now the man named Qin has promised to lead us. He will lead us to find Morris. We are currently going to Morris' hiding place."
"Very good! Time is running out. Mi17 will hold a three-party video conference soon. Once Director Rosen intervenes, we may not be able to trap Mi17 anymore. By then, they will enter Amazon and you will lose the opportunity to take action! Do you understand?
?”
"Understood! We will rush to the hiding place as quickly as possible and ensure that the task is completed within the designated time! Now we are almost at Morris' hiding place, and the problem will be solved soon!"
"Then go ahead and do it! Use the fastest speed! Don't let me down!"
"yes sir!"
The two ended the call.
Cook stood there, rubbing his hand on his chin.
He kept thinking about a question.
That's why Qin Fei surrendered so easily? And also revealed Morris' hiding place?
He vaguely felt that something was wrong here!
Cook has gone through Qin Fei's files no less than ten times. Cook has done intelligence analysis work and knows how to analyze a person's file information and background information. Based on his own judgment of Qin Fei, this person is definitely not a person.
Bones that can be chewed off so easily.
How could he speak so quickly?
He looked at his watch subconsciously.
It's only been an hour.
"Anna, are our satellites and drones online now?"
"Sir, they are all here."
"Can you see the image of our search team?"
Anna nodded and said: "No problem."
"Bring up the screen, I want to see it," Cook said.
As Anna's fingers flew across the keyboard, real-time images from the "Raven" drone and the "Canaan" spy satellite were soon projected onto the big screen.
Cook turned around and faced the big screen. His eyes were deep and he was looking at the big screen as if in a trance.
On the big screen, a dozen bright spots were approaching Morris' "hiding spot" on foot.
Each bright spot is a person, and the high-resolution picture allows Cook to even see clearly that one of the people has his hands tied and is being pushed forward.
As expected, his men caught Qin Fei, and the one who was tied up behind his back was undoubtedly Qin Fei.
And a Black Hawk S-70 was cruising and circling in the sky not far away.
Obviously, that is the destination.
The team is only a few hundred meters away from the destination, and it seems that the final answer will soon be available.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
"Anna, is the area where the S-70 is circling Morris' hiding place?" Cook asked.
Anna said: "Yes, according to the intelligence sent back by the previous search team, we were required to use satellites to pre-scan the area, but we found no trace of Morris in that area."
"No one?" Cook's eyes lit up and his gaze became alert.
"Sir." An agent next to him said: "Qin Fei asked him to hide there, and he will definitely find a way to teach him how to avoid the surveillance of drones and satellites. We can't see him, and we need a ground team to do it."
Just search."
"Well, it sounds reasonable..." Cook murmured.
At this time, an anti-terrorism team member walked into the command center and said to Cook: "Mr. Deputy Director, the video conference has begun."
Cook nodded. He actually didn't want to leave the command center now.
This was a critical moment. He would not feel relieved until he saw Morris being killed on satellite surveillance.
However, the video conference was held by Baron Harvey, Director Rosen, myself, and Michelle. I had to be present, otherwise the time would be delayed.
Even if Qin Fei is caught now, Morris has not been caught yet. He will have to go back to the meeting to have a verbal spat with Baron Harvey. At least his undercover agent will be killed, and the two operations in South Africa can be used as a trump card.
, it can take at least half an hour or even an hour.
This period of time is very valuable for the search team. They have found Morris' hiding place and will soon be able to complete the purpose of this operation.
"Ana, just keep an eye on me here. If anything happens, send someone to the conference room to report to me immediately."
After walking out of the command center, Cook walked toward the conference room with deep thoughts.
When he arrived at the door of the conference room, he cleared his throat and adjusted his short-sleeved shirt to make himself look more energetic and confident. Then he grabbed the door handle and tried to push the door open.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt flashed through his mind, and Cook's hand holding the door handle froze in place.
Almost instantly, he turned around, returned the same way, and ran towards the command center. (To be continued)
