"If you stab me with an anesthetic ring again, believe me, you won't be able to leave Serbia alive..."
Just when Ethan was hesitating whether to attack Owen, Owen said without looking back.
Ethan felt a little tangled in his heart. Generally speaking, he felt sorry for Owen. If Makarov hadn't misunderstood that Owen was one of theirs last time, they might have been silenced.
This time it was Owen who saved him again and saved the plutonium bomb.
"I have to get the plutonium bomb. I need to use this to save Benji..."
The motorcycle was parked somewhere, and Ethan held the plutonium bomb box and looked at Owen and said.
"That's impossible, give it to you, let you hand it over to Makarov?"
Owen was so angry with the Mission: Impossible team that he tricked him at the station and stole the plutonium bomb from his hand. The safe house was raided by the GRU before, and these guys dumped him without hesitation.
All three people ran away, except him.
"..."
There was silence on Ethan's side. Owen knew that he would never give up and might be thinking about how to escape at this moment. But Owen was not afraid. Ethan's gun had no bullets. If it was just about his skill, Owen was not afraid of anyone now.
Just as the two of them were at war with each other, their cell phones rang at the same time.
Seeing this scene, the two of them realized something and took two steps back to answer the phone.
…
White House, small conference room
Director Martin of CIA looked at President Palmer, who was glaring across from him, and Jack Bauer, who was expressionless on the side, and made a helpless expression: "I'm sorry, I'm only telling you now, but I didn't know about it in advance. The imf team acted on its own."
Claiming that when I found out, they had already obtained plutonium bombs from the Russians..."
"Oh, damn it, don't say you don't know. They are your people, your trump cards. If you actually tell me that you don't know, then you are seriously derelict in your duty..."
President Palmer's face was full of sarcasm. Who would believe him if he said he didn't know anything?
Director Martin's heart was filled with 10,000 idiots. He really didn't know that the IMF had always been bold and dared to do anything for the mission, but this time they went too far. In order to capture Makarov, they actually thought of stealing from Russia.
The abandoned nuclear weapons raw materials were from Russia, the second largest military power after the United States. Martin realized that he had always been too conniving with the IMF. Today they dare to steal nuclear raw materials, and tomorrow they dare to blow up the Kremlin.
Owen kept in touch with Jack along the way. Everything that happened between them and the Mission: Impossible team was reported to Jack without any concealment. It related to the CIA, plutonium bombs and Russia. The situation was already very serious, especially when they were still dealing with Gru.
There was a direct conflict between Ukrainian personnel and there were casualties. Jack immediately reported the matter to President David Palmer.
This matter is very difficult, which led to the scene in the small conference room of the White House.
Martin was frustrated. The deception operation that was originally going smoothly became Makarov's game-within-a-game due to the leak of the personnel list. The subsequent development was somewhat out of control. Makarov saw through the identity of the Mission: Impossible team and almost obtained the victory.
Plutonium bomb, if TU hadn't happened upon it, Makarov would have succeeded.
Russia finally learned that the plutonium bomb had been replaced and sent the GRU to investigate. The United States and Russia also staged a war in the capital of Serbia, which was as popular as a Hollywood blockbuster.
"Martin, do you know what you are doing? You are playing with fire. You almost triggered World War III..."
President Palmer is very angry. It is a naked provocation for a nuclear-armed country to covet the nuclear weapons of another nuclear-armed country. Even nuclear weapons that are about to be destroyed will not suffice.
Serbia's attitude can be ignored for the time being. Even if they know the truth, they will only protest a few words at most, but Russia's attitude has to be treated with caution.
Although the Soviet Union has disintegrated and the United States is the only superpower left in the world, Russia has inherited most of the Soviet Union's legacy and cannot be underestimated.
What's more important is that the other side is likely to have realized that the Americans are up to something. The two sides are now in contact, and someone on the Russian side has died, so the scope of the confrontation may be further expanded, which the United States does not want to see.
"I'm sorry, Mr. President..."
Martin felt bitter in his heart, but President Palmer didn't appreciate it. He turned to Jack Bauer and asked: "Do you know how much the Russians know?"
"I don't know, but they probably don't know it was us, otherwise we should have received the warning long ago..."
"Well, inform Owen and ask him to find a way to return the plutonium bomb to the GRU. We must not be exposed... As for the IMF team..." President Palmer glanced at Martin aside: "Martin, you must
Give me an explanation……"
Martin knew that if he did not give an answer that satisfied the president at this time, his political career would be over. Hearing this, he was heartbroken: "The imf team will be disbanded on the spot because it has caused serious consequences due to its own actions..."
President Palmer said: "Okay, I agree. You will submit a report to parliament later..."
Jack glanced at Martin in surprise. This guy is really a ruthless person. He could understand what President Palmer did, because President Palmer has always relied on TU since he came to power, and CIA has not been outstanding since he came to power.
However, the imf team got into quite a lot of trouble this time.
But Martin was the person in charge of CIA before Pamo came to power. It can be said that the IMF team was supported by him. It is his ace team and has repeatedly made military exploits. Although something went wrong this time, Martin said he would disband when he said it would be disbanded.
Very sad.
Jack asked himself, if it were him, he didn't know whether he would give up the quick reaction team.
The president made a decision, Jack immediately called Owen, and Martin also called Ethan.
"The most important thing now is not to capture Makarov, but to find a way to return the plutonium bomb to the Russians to avoid further deterioration of the matter. It is best to make them think that someone else did it. In addition, they must not be caught by the Russians.
As for you, the United States will never admit that the Americans stole the plutonium bomb. In addition, because of this mistake of the CIA's IMF team, Director Martin decided to disband the IMF team. This is also what President Palmer meant..."
A few minutes later, Owen hung up the phone and looked at Ethan opposite with a strange expression, and Ethan also looked at him at the same time.
To be honest, Irving was quite surprised. He remembered that the Mission: Impossible team was in danger of disbanding several times, but every time it was able to save the day. But this time it was obviously different. This time it was President Palmer's intention. Irving felt that the Mission: Impossible team was in danger of disbanding.
The spy team may not be able to survive the desperate situation.
"I'm very sorry."
Owen couldn't think of anything else to say, and Ethan Hunter pursed his lips and said nothing.
Suddenly there was the sound of a car braking at the door, and neither Owen nor Ethan showed any surprise. Nicky had already informed Owen that a car was driving towards them. Looking at Ethan's look, he knew it was not an enemy, but probably a disc.
