2:53 pm US time.
While the streets around the Rocklin Building were in chaos, Banning at the CTU headquarters received a piece of information that frightened them.
"Colonel, are you kidding me?!"
Not only Banning, but also other people involved in the intelligence department found it very strange.
"You said that an AC-130 gunship has entered the sky above Los Angeles and is now moving towards the Rocklin Building. It is estimated that it will reach Malvern in less than five minutes?!"
The moldy colonel on the big screen was also in a daze at this time, "I'm not kidding, this is true! I guess this thing has been flying close to the suburban valley before, so our duty radar did not detect it, but now it has I only discovered it after entering the sky above Luo City!"
"What are you going to do, Colonel?"
"It depends on what the president wants. You know, it's not difficult to knock it down, but if it falls into the downtown area..."
Speaking of which, not only the colonel, but also other people were involved in a lawsuit. Marvin was such a smart little kid that he actually thought of this trick.
As for what happened to this AC-130 that suddenly appeared, and why there was suddenly an extra one and it seemed to be under the command of Malvin, no one was too lazy to pursue it anymore. It must be the fault of the military-industrial complex.
Everyone made a mental note to wait until this time to check out arms giants such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin and General Motors.
It’s true that these ac-130 suppliers have aroused public outrage this time. Even the moldy colonel on the screen was gnashing his teeth. Normally, no one would say anything about selling some guns and cannons. In the Middle East, everyone would accept kickbacks based on the number of people. Unspoken rules.
Having more guns, more cannons, and even more tanks on the market are all harmless things, but what the hell is an extra AC-130 appearing in the sky above Los Angeles? !
This is too hungry!
Rabbits don't even eat the grass on the edge of their nests. Damn it, you sold this thing to terrorists who attacked the United States. Isn't it too much? !
Benjamin was also furious on Air Force One: "Assholes, these bastards! Do they even take us seriously?"
Not only Benjamin, but other politicians on Air Force One also reached a rare consensus this time. This AC-130 is really too much.
“First it was McLennan, then Boeing, Lockheed Martin, GM!
These guys are too arrogant, their arrogance must be suppressed! "
"Yes, we must make them pay this time!"
Everyone agreed to let Boeing bleed out afterwards. However, this thing flying over Los Angeles is really not easy to deal with now. Shoot it down. If it crashes in the downtown area, it will be a panic again. Don’t shoot it down. Let this thing It would be even more fun if the thing was unparalleled in the city.
After hesitating for a long time, Benjamin finally got through to the Air Force and said through gritted teeth: "Destroy this AC-130 as quickly as possible!"
It's the lesser of two evils. If the machine falls, it will affect a street at most, but if this thing is allowed to be unparalleled, the nature of the incident will be at least several levels more serious.
. . .
In fact, not only these official agencies, but also other interest groups in the United States, especially the predators with many assets in Los Angeles, all exploded after receiving the news, and looked at the ac-130 suppliers with strange eyes.
However, unlike Benjamin and a group of official agencies, they did not point the finger at the three defense contractors themselves, because the officials did not leave anyone behind when doing things, and targeted the company rather than a certain person or family.
Other consortiums and some military bosses were not so good-tempered. For a time, the phone numbers of the two families of Morgan and Rockefeller (Morgan controlled General Electric, Rockefeller controlled Boeing, and both controlled Lockheed Martin) were all busy. Got blown away.
After receiving the news, the two families also realized that something big might have happened this time. While explaining to other consortiums, they began to conduct internal self-examinations to find out who was responsible for the crime.
Every big thing like the AC-130 is marked, and the sudden appearance of an extra one can only be done by someone within them.
It's not like black diamonds are something you can just put in your pocket and leave. It's really a fantasy to hide such a big plane without insiders to cover it up.
At this time, Spectre started video conferencing again.
Oberhaus: "Philip, have you cleaned the ends of your hands?"
Philip: "It's settled. Sanders Morgan is dead. They can't find anything."
The Pale Lord: "I think it's better to do less of this kind of thing in the future. Our purpose is to create rules that are beneficial to ourselves, rather than destroying everything unscrupulously. Marvin and Park Sung-kang are not under our control to begin with. This It was really risky.”
Oberhouse: "No, compared to those established families and consortiums, emerging forces like ours must do whatever it takes to weaken those established forces if we want to get ahead!
Those old guys are so rotten that I can’t stand it. Those consortiums are just using the rich inheritance left by the first-generation founders of their families to suppress all latecomers!
You can often see scandals about people in Silicon Valley on the Internet, but you can’t see any news about the old consortiums in the United States. Even if there is a little bit of tidbits, it is all kinds of speculation and the facts are far away from the niche. news.
why is that?
It’s not that the group of technical geeks in Silicon Valley have the potential to be on equal footing with them, but now that group of consortiums have to recognize the status of a group of people in Silicon Valley! "
The Pale Lord: "I still think you are too radical, and it will backfire on you sooner or later. It would be great to be like those emerging consortiums in Asia. As long as the strength is high, others will have to recognize their status."
Oberhaus: "The problem is that we are not Asians, or in other words, we are not Chinese, and the rules of the game between the two sides are completely different!
Just wait and see, pale, one day I will prove that your worries are nothing but a burden to us. "
The rest of the Specter were silent for a while. They saw the first fierce disagreement between Oberhaus and the Pale Lord.
The Pale Lord believed that Oberhaus and Philip had gone too far this time and could easily get burned.
But Oberhaus believed that the Pale Lord's worries were just unnecessary burdens.
The old conglomerates in the United States have become deeply entrenched and there is no room for newcomers to come forward. A group of IT geeks in Silicon Valley have now managed to squeeze in after some invisible conflicts. The United States no longer has room for newcomers to come forward, so they have to resort to extraordinary measures. .
Others were silent about the dispute between the two, and even Philip, the direct participant in this incident, said nothing. Each of them had their own reasons, and others also had their own preferences, but this was not the right time. Put it on the table, otherwise it may cause conflicts.
This is not a conflict of interests but a conflict of ideal lines, so no one will express their opinions easily.
Oberhaus and the Pale Lord also chose to ignore this topic after being silent for a while.
Oberhaus took the initiative and said: "Now we are going to vote, should we let Malvern continue?"
"continue."
"stop."
"continue."
"continue."
"..."
After the voting was completed, a few people besides the Pale Lord raised objections, because many of their assets were located in Los Angeles, and if Malvern continued to cause trouble like this, their losses would be serious.
After all, Los Angeles, the second largest industrial center in the United States, accounts for half of California’s manufacturing output and ranks first in the country in the number of scientists and engineers. We all have some industries here, and there are a few people who are opposed to allowing Malvern to continue. Including Philip, who clearly opposed it because he had many assets in Los Angeles.
However, after reading everyone's opinions, Oberhaus said: "The minority obeys the majority. We will not intervene. If major losses are caused, others will compensate the losers."
Others agreed after hearing this, and just like that, Specter finally decided not to interfere with Malvin's affairs. All the work was done, and now they just had to wait and watch the show.
. . .
Miguel and his group obviously also saw the AC-130. Everyone looked at the AC-130 slowly approaching from the horizon with bewildered expressions, and their hearts began to beat. The gunship seemed to be heading in the direction of their target. Fly.
Miguel quickly reported the situation to Chen Yi.
This is not a question of courage, but a question of IQ. With this big guy entering the scene, no matter how awesome they are, they would not dare to confront this thing. This is simply not something that the thirty-two of them can handle.
Chen Yi's reply made them relieved.
"Miguel! Give up the mission temporarily and don't enter the main battlefield until EMP breaks out!"
. . .
At the same time, in a new round of hide-and-seek, Mandy finally performed beyond her level and persisted for twenty-three minutes and was surrounded on the rooftop of the apartment building.
Facing helicopters, snipers, and more than two dozen agents surrounding her, no warning was needed. Mandy dropped her weapons and raised her hands without hesitation.
"I surrender, I have important information about Malvern!"
