It is not a good thing for M to see him at this time, especially at this time.
Arriving outside M's office, Lewis raised his hand and was about to knock on the door. He hesitated for a moment and then put it down. Then he straightened his clothes and calmed down, then raised his hand again and knocked on the door through gritted teeth.
"Come in."
M's voice came from the crack in the door. Lewis saw that the door was ajar. It was obvious that M was only waiting to see him alone.
Pushing the door open, Lewis stood in front of the door and saw M standing in front of the glass window, looking at the Thames River not far away through the bulletproof glass.
"M, are you looking for me?"
Ms. M turned around suddenly, as if waking up from deep thought.
She waved her hand to Lewis and motioned for him to close the door.
Lewis complied, and then M quickly walked from the window to behind his desk with his hands behind his back, and sat down in the leather chair.
"Where is the X mercenary group now?"
She waved to Lewis and motioned for him to sit down opposite her.
"them……"
Lewis remembered that the operation at the farm fell short. He was the on-site commander and should bear the responsibility for the failure.
So he said: "I am responsible for this matter. Our people are still tracking, and the car they were in was found in a small town dozens of kilometers away from the farm. They gave up the car they snatched from us and replaced it with
Got a Volkswagen..."
"Lewis, I'm just asking, where did Qin Fei's people escape to now?"
There was a hint of impatience in M's words. Obviously, as the most powerful intelligence organization in the British Empire, MI6 was actually countered by several mercenaries. Not only did they snatch the car, but they also lost more than a dozen guns of various kinds.
.
For the top leader of MI6, M's face is really ugly.
"Currently..." Lewis said hesitantly: "I haven't figured out their final whereabouts yet, but I have sent people to monitor the docks and airports and issued a wanted list. However, eight hours ago, the police station
The list inside was maliciously deleted once, but we have recovered."
"It's no use."
M said: "Since the list has been erased, it proves that there are powerful technicians among them. The purpose of erasing the list is to escape. I believe that they are no longer in our country."
"Don't worry, M. I have sent out our most elite members. It is expected that Qin Fei's whereabouts will be found soon."
"So, how is the communication with Nigeria going?" M asked.
Lewis said: "I just got off the phone with their minister."
M said: "Is there any progress?"
"Not yet. Alfonso is as hard as a rock. They insist that we send SAS or SBS to organize a rescue, and they are only responsible for providing intelligence and logistical support..."
"That is to say, Qin Fei and his men ran away without being found, and Alfonso did not agree to send special forces to rescue Sophia?"
M directly interrupted Lewis.
Lewis's face suddenly became hot.
He suddenly realized that he had made a mess of everything.
An intelligence agency was tricked by a few mercenaries, and he even brazenly warned Qin Fei at the farm that it was impossible for him to escape from the British Empire.
Now that there is no trace of the X mercenary group, Qin Fei slapped himself hard.
Now even the Minister of Military Affairs of Nigeria is unwilling to get involved and is trying to play tricks with him...
Thinking of this, Lewis suddenly lost the courage to continue reporting.
Looking at her loyal but slightly lacking subordinate, Ms. M sighed softly, "Alfonso's reaction was within my expectations. He is a typical African politician and will not risk his political future."
Bet on a girl."
"Then...what should we do now?" Lewis asked cautiously.
"Our people in Africa have sent back information. They have found clues about the dock where Victor landed. He used the cargo ship of a friend who made his fortune together to sneak into Morocco. He is expected to arrive in three days."
"Then shall we fly to Morocco immediately for deployment?"
"No need, this matter has become complicated now. It is an ironclad fact that Victor will go to Africa. No one can stop his determination to save his daughter. We cannot chase him and force him to go to a dead end. If so, what if?
If something goes wrong with Sophia, I'm afraid the secret between the Victor Masters and other allies will no longer be a secret." M said.
Lewis: "What do you mean, let him complete the transaction by himself?"
"I would like to do this and let that old fox Alfonso try to shirk responsibility, but the people above do not allow me to do this. We have too many interests there, and they are all valuable achievements that have been formed after many years of operation.
The situation is that if the current government is done with it, we cannot afford to lose everything."
M stood up, walked a few steps behind his desk, and finally stopped.
"You should contact the military now and ask them to send James and his SAS team to the battle standby. I will recruit them at any time. Then mobilize all members of the African operations department and coordinate with the intelligence analysis department to find out where Qin Fei is now.
Current location, and control at the dock where Victor will land."
"If you find Victor, will you capture him immediately?"
"No, let them be responsible for monitoring for the time being. They must find out the exact location of the arms. I will decide the rest. Now we are not human beings. Victor doesn't want to think about it. Let's cooperate. The Nigerian military on Alfonso's side is also here.
It is wise to protect ourselves, but if we send SAS for rescue, if anything goes wrong, it will be a disaster for us both diplomatically and internationally."
Lewis stood with his head bowed. In fact, why didn’t he understand all this?
It was precisely this dilemma that caused him to face a dead end that he could not break.
"Don't you have any opinion on this situation?" M asked.
Lewis could only shake his head. He was too young in front of M.
"Okay, now you go to do something right away and use all our resources. Even if you have to use military satellites, any method that can locate Qin Fei and other mercenaries will be used. In addition, immediately contact our allies
To contact CI/A, I want to have a phone call with their Director Davis to see when he will be free to open a video communication channel, and let me know when it is done."
"yes!"
Lewis nodded while secretly trying to figure out M's intentions.
Talk to Director Davis of the CIA in person? Find the people of the X mercenary group at all costs?
It seems that M is really angered by these damn mercenaries and plans to strike them with a thunder blow?
Countless speculations floated through Lewis's mind. He could not judge M's true intention, but he sent SAS, used military satellites, and had a video call with Director Davis.
All this shows how seriously M takes this matter, and she intends to devote all her resources to solving this trouble.
However, is it possible to do this to a small mercenary organization?
