The presidential speech in the White House only lasted a short time and ended. This speech showed that the United States' attitude towards terrorism is secondary. The most important thing is to tell the allies and opponents of the United States that the President of the United States is still alive and the White House is still alive.
exist.
After a night, the crisis in the White House was already yesterday. The center of the United States continued to operate after a short rest. However, the personnel in charge of security changed from Secret Service agents to Marine Corps soldiers. At the same time, there were more than 2,000 National Guard troops.
Troops are stationed not far from the White House and the Capitol.
Last night, CTU, NSA, CIA and other intelligence agencies all had a busy night. Such a big thing happened in the United States. Although the crisis has been resolved now, for them, the war has just begun, and they still have a lot to learn.
Need to understand.
Are there any shadows of other countries behind the incident? How did the White Mask infiltrate the White House? Are there any other accomplices besides Martin? Were Starz and his men wiped out? Are there any fish that slipped through the net? etc.
All these miscellaneous things need to be confirmed by them.
If things go as usual, Irving and the quick reaction team will definitely take a few days off to recuperate after experiencing this kind of mission. Irving may go back to Los Angeles to see his family, but now that Jack Bauer is injured and hospitalized, he is TU's
The top leader is also President Palmer's most trusted person. He needs to make decisions on various matters, especially the whereabouts of White Mask.
Although the White Masks ran away, CTU has never given up tracking their whereabouts. Before, only the CTU family followed up, but now they have shared the information with the NSA. It is said that the third echelon is also investigating the White Masks.
The only thing that has not been made public is the collaboration between Vice President Raferson’s assistant. Silly Baitian checked various records of President Raferson and there was no evidence to prove that his assistant’s affairs were related to him, so he asked for instructions on this matter.
After that, the president stood still and no one knew about it. Even CTU would not be connected. Only Irving's quick reaction team and Silly Baitian were secretly investigating.
A few days passed, and there was no clue. White Mask was definitely a master at hiding his whereabouts. Jack Bauer's injury stabilized, and it was basically no serious problem. He returned to CTU and continued to preside over the work. Owen felt a little more relaxed now.
The phone rang suddenly. Owen picked it up and found that it was Benjamin.
"I'm Owen."
"Man, how have you been these past few days?"
"Not so good? Life is worse than death..."
Owen complained feebly, and Benjamin on the other end of the phone laughed twice, and then said: "Okay, man, there is a party at my house tonight, and our whole family sincerely invites you to attend. My mother wants to express her gratitude to you in person, man.
, I know you are very busy, please be sure not to refuse..."
"Well……"
Irving was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Just as the other party guessed, he wanted to refuse to come at first, but he and Benjamin had a very good relationship. When they were in Los Angeles, Benjamin cooperated with him without taking any credit. Irving
After hesitating for a while, he finally agreed.
"Okay, tell me the time and address, and I'll be there then."
"Very good……"
Benjamin immediately reported an address.
Just after hanging up the phone, Jack Bauer in the conference room on the second floor opened the door, knocked on the glass, and waved him up.
In the conference room, Jack Bauer said: "The president will hold an emergency meeting this afternoon, and this time he will ask you to attend by name..."
"What happened?"
"I don't know, but it should be related to the quick reaction team. Yesterday, the Secretariat asked me to sort out all the information of the quick reaction team since its establishment, including training plans, membership status, the tasks it has performed, how it performed, and the final evaluation...
"
After listening for a long time, Irving still didn't understand the intention of tomorrow's meeting, but he didn't ask any more questions. Everything would be known in the afternoon. Based on the performance of himself and the quick reaction team in the White House crisis, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
…
Time soon came to the afternoon, and Irving followed Jack Bauer to the White House again. A few days ago, they drove to the White House just like today, only to encounter terrorists who held the White House hostage.
Today's security check has obviously become much stricter. The soldiers responsible for the security check are not only the Capitol Police, but also Secret Service agents and land and sea soldiers. Owen followed Jack all the way to Lanting, where Jennifer and others were previously detained. Today
The meeting was held here.
Owen and Jack were the first to arrive. After entering the room, they easily remembered the fireplace duct and couldn't help but take a second look.
But before they could sit down, people came over one after another, CIA director Martin, N'SA director, FBI director, and the Secretary of Defense.
After everyone came in, they subconsciously glanced at the ventilation duct of the fireplace. On the day the White House ended, Irving submitted a detailed report. Not only him, but everyone in the White House that day had to submit it. Every detail must be written clearly.
These people have obviously read Irving's report. It's no wonder that, as the only lone hero in the White House at the time, his report was naturally the most detailed and objective.
At the last minute before the meeting started, President Palmer appeared from the door. He naturally sat at the front seat, and the meeting officially began.
"Gentlemen, you should know why I called you here. A few days ago, the White House encountered the darkest moment in history. Except for the British back then, the White House has never suffered such a shame and humiliation."
President Palmer looked around and saw that everyone was silent, so he continued: "In the past two days, various departments have been reflecting on their mistakes in this incident. I am also thinking, not only about this time, but also about 911. I
I think we need to make adjustments in terms of intelligence..."
After the president finished speaking, CIA Director Martin wanted to speak immediately, but President Palmer stopped him: "Wait a moment Martin, let me finish my words first..."
"Yes, abroad we have the CIA, which is known as the strongest intelligence structure in the world. Domestically, we have the NSA, which is also a behemoth. In addition, each military service has its own intelligence department. Although it is coordinated by the CIA, the timeliness of the intelligence
And screening is a big issue. If I remember correctly, the CIA received a similar warning before 911, but analysts at the time thought it was of no value, so they shelved it..."
President Palmer's words left Director Martin speechless. Jack Bauer and Irving looked at each other and felt that something great might happen today.
