From Arms Dealer To King of War - Chapter 487
Chapter 487 Desperate Eric
The sudden news caused chaos in the CIA office area…
Everybody is on the phone, everybody is putting pressure on someone in Libya to know who or who is attacking the ambassador.
There is nothing special about the work of the CIA, just bullying others or whispering or exchanging benefits. If you take my money or receive my benefits, you must reply to me.
CIA and the diplomatic system are not affiliated, and the embassy did not ask the CIA for help.
But soon the call from the White House reached Eric’s mobile phone. He first learned about the situation in Benghazi, and then began to ask how many people are available at the CIA station…
Eric realized that something was wrong at this time. He did not report the existence of Choga, and concealed the existence of the “Iron Wall Mercenary Group” responsible for his own security. He only reported the 20-member team of P·B.
Eric didn’t hide from Choga when he answered the phone. After he hung up the phone, he glanced at Choga with a strange expression. He kicked the desk vigorously, then walked to the center of the office and pulled a A number was written on the whiteboard with a carbon pen, and then he clapped his hands vigorously and shouted: “The base destruction procedure will start now, all paper documents will be destroyed, and all electronic documents will be sent to the CIA server.
Give up asking for the identity of the attacker, I ask you to mobilize all the local relations, we have to plan a safe evacuation route to the dock. ”
Speaking of which, Eric slapped the whiteboard vigorously, pointed to a long list of phone numbers on it, and said: “Remember this number, if any of you fall behind, just dial this number with your mobile phone, and the CIA can use satellites to track you s position.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are all professionally trained people. From now on, we are responsible for our own safety. Whether we can evacuate safely depends on whether your actions are meticulous enough.
Remember, any action you take now may decide our life or death…”
Eric’s tone was extremely heavy, and the atmosphere at the scene was very dignified. Sophia, a female agent with platinum-blonde hair, suddenly raised her hand and said, “Sir, should we contact the Afika Command?”
Eric looked at Sophia like a fool, and said, “Who do you think Mr. Ambassador will contact first?”
Speaking of Eric, he waved vigorously and said, “Execute the order…”
Joga didn’t express any opinion on Eric’s actions. He folded his arms and leaned against the wall, frowning and thinking about what went wrong?
As soon as I landed in Benghazi, the attack happened. Could it be related to Harold or the French?
But how did they position themselves?
I was flying a private jet, and the control tower at the airport in Benghazi is not a professional, and even the CIA is now ‘our own’!
Joga didn’t think that someone from P·B would betray him. Could it be that he was recognized after a short while at the airport?
“What are you thinking?”
Eric walked to Choga’s side with a solemn expression, and said, “I have a very bad feeling…”
Joga cast a glance at Eric, frowned and said, “I wonder if it was because of my appearance that the Frenchmen started early?”
Eric listened, shook his head and said: “It has nothing to do with you, look there…”
Joga followed Eric’s finger and looked at the electronic clock on the wall, which clearly showed that today is September 11th…
Realizing something, Choga rubbed his temples in pain, and cursed: “Shit, today is the anniversary of 9/11, so the person who attacked the ambassador must be someone from Al Qaeda
FUCK, these guys want to declare war! ”
Eric said with a solemn expression: “It may be more than that. Someone from the White House called me just now and asked about the manpower and layout here, but they didn’t tell me their rescue plan.”
Joga was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously: “You mean that the people behind Harold can influence the White House?”
Talking about it, Choga looked at Eric’s meaningful expression, and he stared at him and said, “Don’t be kidding, don’t tell me that black buddy in the white house is Harold’s boss?”
Eric shook his head and said: “Of course he is not, but Harold’s boss has a close relationship with the Vice President and Director of Intelligence of the United States.”
Qiaojia shook his head slightly after hearing this, and said, “What does this mean? Your boss can’t work?”
Eric bowed his head in silence for more than ten seconds, and then said: “I’m worried that the situation will be worse…”
Qiaojia listened, waved his hand indifferently and said: “It doesn’t matter, we should have expected this situation long ago.
There is no support, we can fight out by ourselves as long as we understand the general situation. ”
Eric took out his phone and glanced at it, then said in a low mood: “No, I said it might be worse…”
Choga was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Eric by the collar and glared at him, “You mean you were betrayed by your boss?
how can that be? Harold and the others wanted to **** the email evidence…”
Speaking, Choga realized something, and said: “ohshit, your boss is participating in the internal election of the Democratic Party, and may soon become the presidential candidate.
She is also a Democrat, can I guess so, you and the ambassador are used as chips? ”
Eric smiled reluctantly, and said: “Just a phone call can’t explain anything…”
Joga looked at Eric with an ugly face, he was silent for a while, stared into Eric’s eyes, and said, “If I can guarantee you to go back safely, can you continue to hang out with your boss?”
Eric knew it was a critical moment, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: “I’m not sure!
Jackal, I’ve been away from Washington for so long I’m not sure!
I only know that if I can go back alive, I will definitely not be able to return to the previous core position…”
While talking, Eric looked at Qiaojia with a serious expression, and said nervously: “But I can still help you with things, and my network is still there.
Their goal has been achieved, as long as I don’t take the initiative to break the news, no one will embarrass me. ”
Qiaojia waved his hand and said: “Don’t be nervous, I promise to save your life, and I will definitely do what I say!
I can understand the separation and reunion of those big people, but I don’t understand, betraying you makes the French happy, what benefits can they get? ”
Eric said in frustration: “There are differences within the United States on the current situation in Libya…
I guess they want to use the death of the ambassador to make up some people’s mind, so that the spokesperson of the energy group will completely abandon Libya and focus on the Middle East.
If my guess is right, then they will increase their troops to Syria in the next step and completely hand over Libya to Britain and France.
While making Europe feel at ease in maintaining energy security, it also allows France to reduce its investment in the Middle East.
This is something that the British and French can’t wait for. The British and French have invested more troops in Afghanistan than the United States. They don’t want to be stuck in Syria anymore.
This political turn will please a lot of people! ”
After hearing this, Qiaojia felt horrified. The consequences of this kind of big man’s game are very terrible.
There is a saying that “a grain of sand falling on everyone is like a mountain”, and every decision of these great figures who lead the era may lead to rivers of blood.
The worst thing is that what they pursue is profit, and what they care about is how to do it to grab the greatest benefit for their own interest group.
The people represented by Harold must have thought of intervening in the Libya dispute at the beginning. After all, planting a flag in Libya to control the energy output here can affect Europe, otherwise they would not take the initiative to cause trouble for France.
As a result, something went wrong in the middle of the matter. Not only did the ISIS people take away the nuclear materials, but they were also caught by the crazy France. Then they began to turn decisively and turned around to cooperate with the French.
And the ambassador was obviously kept in the dark and was still implementing the previous strategy, so he became a bargaining chip.
Eric is even worse, this guy is a step, a step for the French.
In fact, the situation was not as bad as Choga expected, but Eric’s importance was greatly discounted by his boss’ negative attitude.
Maybe worried that Choga would give up on himself, Eric said seriously: “Jackal, as long as I return to the United States alive, I can be safe, at least I can get a deputy director position within the CIA.
Maybe I will be marginalized at that time, but my contacts are still there. The Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, Flynn, owes me a favor. At the same time, because I participated in the formulation of the defense budget, I have a good personal relationship with the Deputy Secretary of Defense…
I still have a chance! ”
Joga looked at the panicked Eric, he smiled and said, “Are you worried that I will give up and run away by yourself? Then you are thinking too much…
Don’t promise things you can’t do! ”
As he spoke, Choga looked at Eric, hesitated, and said, “I’m actually thinking, are you worth my effort to support you?
I’m a short-tempered person. Once your boss becomes a presidential candidate, or even becomes president, then you may not be able to make a bright future in ten years.
Don’t blame me for being straightforward. I’m a trustworthy person, and I will do my best to ensure your safety. But you know that I have a company in the United States, and I need one or more spokespersons.
I can’t hire a retired general or even the secretary of defense like those big companies can do, and the Department of Justice is not the best option for me. ”
Eric was stunned. He looked at Choga hesitantly and said, “At this point, are you still considering whether to support me?”
Qiaojia shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: “You have helped me a lot, I can’t do things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges.
Actually, I can probably understand your situation. I was thinking, why don’t you just go to Central Africa with me.
You are capable and well-connected. As long as you leave the political circle, your boss probably won’t kill you.
But I listen to you, you still want to go back to Washington, so I have to think about whether I should make up my mind to help you.
Because you help you, you must beat your boss, otherwise you will not be able to get ahead. ”
Eric heard this, looked at Choga like a ghost, and said, “You actually want to beat my boss…”
Speaking Eric suddenly realized something, he stared at Choga who seemed to be smiling, and said, “ohshit, those emails…”
