Kai looked at this woman with a cat-like temperament, shook his head and did not ask further. Whether it's the CIA or any other messy intelligence organization, once it gets involved with them, it often means trouble. Although Kai's team often cooperates with the CIA, it is all between agencies, and they will not have anything to do with these guys personally. Because once you get involved, it’s very likely that you won’t be able to get rid of it.
Don't look at how awesome and cool the agents in the movie are. Actually working for the CIA is not a good choice. The most obvious example is outsourcing as mentioned before. Although the CIA has its own field agents, as a global agent organization, their field agents are never enough, so the CIA will outsource many armed tasks.
The ones that accept the most outsourcing tasks are security companies. The CIA will not go to large security companies to cooperate because it is too troublesome. The security companies they most like to cooperate with are small security companies. Most of the members of these companies are retired military personnel, including retired members of the Marine Corps. These people are the so-called CIA contract overseas employees, that is, temporary workers, and their wages are relatively generous, ranging from US$20 to US$27 per hour.
But that's it. Not only do they follow orders in all their actions, they also have no guarantees. When necessary, the CIA will not hesitate to abandon these contractors and declare that the CIA has nothing to do with these militants.
Even deliberately betraying these temporary workers during the mission is not uncommon. Kai has seen this kind of thing all too often. In comparison, "high-level mercenaries" like Kai and others who are government agencies have much more guarantees. They serve the U.S. military and have extremely high autonomy. Once the mission threatens their own safety, they can evacuate directly without abandoning the CIA. The CIA has no command over them. Even if they argue, it will be a dispute between top executives. It is not their turn to face the pressure of the CIA.
"OK! Madam, you can do what you want. But one thing must be clear, we will not give you any help, and everything you do has nothing to do with us." After speaking, Kai hit the others. Snap your fingers and tell them to let this woman go. "You are free now."
"No! We all work for the U.S. government, and you have an obligation to help me complete my mission!" But at this moment, the woman changed her mind. She hoped to get the help and protection of this elite U.S. military team, which would increase the success rate of the mission. will be higher. "I work for the Special Intelligence Division of the United States CIA, and I now formally request your assistance!"
Kai didn't care about her, but just picked up the food Duke and the others brought back, a jar of caviar. Kai looked at the javelin on it and found that it was 'Almas caviar', which is the most expensive caviar in the world. Iran. As for why Kai knew, of course it was because it said it on the label.
Kai used a tactical dagger to pry open the can very savagely, then happily poured the caviar on the bread, and then swallowed it in a big gulp. It's a bit fishy in the mouth and tastes salty, but after all the fish roes pop, it feels quite good. Of course, it doesn't matter how delicious that thing is. Anyway, Kai didn’t appreciate it and didn’t know why it was sold so expensively.
"Hoo~~, Almas caviar! It's really a good thing that you can only buy for 23,308 US dollars. It tastes really good." On the contrary, Portman liked it very much. This guy loves flashy luxuries like this. Seeing that he liked it, Kai threw all the remaining caviar to him. And he himself picked up a ham and cut it directly with a dagger.
Duke and others brought a lot of food on two carts, and the survivors also benefited from it. They could enjoy a luxurious meal without paying a penny. Of course, these people may not be willing to do so. It is estimated that they would rather sit safely in a restaurant and pay for it to enjoy these things, that way at least there is no risk to their lives.
…
And just when a group of people were enjoying a rare quiet moment, in the open sea outside the cruise ship, a group of very special aircraft were flying towards the cruise ship quickly. That is the latest v280 transport aircraft developed by the US military! This is a new type of transportation based on the improvement of the V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft. This new type of transport aircraft has the advantages of both a helicopter and a fighter jet. It is fast and has a combat radius comparable to that of a fighter jet. At the same time, it has low requirements for the take-off and landing environment. It is a new generation of transport aircraft in the United States. benchmark.
However, so far, the US military has only purchased V-22 transport aircraft, while the V280 is still in the experimental stage and has not been officially installed.
And those on board these V280 transport aircraft are not the troops listed in the official U.S. military files.
Whether it's the CIA or the U.S. military, most of them have a lot of shady parts. Among them, the U.S. military is the most serious, because the U.S. military has a high budget. In the U.S., you have everything if you have money, and many of the shady things in the U.S. military are created just to ask for money from Congress.
For example, these soldiers are speeding over now. They come from a nuclear research base in New Mexico. This base appears to be just a nuclear research facility of the U.S. Air Force, a scientific research department, but in fact there are many secrets hidden in this base.
Not only are they equipped with the best researchers and master a large number of research projects, but secretly they are also equipped with extremely complete armed forces.
And their leader is also well-known among the US military. He is known as Thunderbolt General Ross, whose full name is Thaddeus E. Ross. This is a typical hawkish soldier. When he was sent to a research base by the Air Force to serve as the base commander, many people still lamented that a tough soldier was hidden in the snow.
But in fact, Ross actually presided over various dangerous research that could not be seen from the light as assigned by his superiors. This includes the 'Super Soldier Serum' that the US military has always been obsessed with.
This plan was successful once during World War II, and also created Captain America, known as the ancestor of superheroes. But after its original developer Dr. Erskine was assassinated, the Super Soldier Serum program came to a standstill and made no progress for decades.
After General Ross took over the research base, he devoted almost all his energy to this project.
And this is exactly why he personally led the team to leave New Mexico and come to the South Pacific this time!
Just a few years ago, Ross made a deal with a secret organization through some shady channels. A deal that could save the day - a bottle of real 'Super Soldier Serum' prototype! A bottle of protozoa from an undiscovered Hydra base.
According to the information given by the seller, it is the Red Skull - the super soldier serum developed by John Schmidt. So far, this super soldier serum has only been used by Red Skull. Although the side effects are obvious, for Rose This is already rare research material. You know, for so many years, the US military has not even developed the Red Skull version of the super soldier serum!
Originally, the two parties had a good negotiation and the transaction could be carried out immediately. But something went wrong in the middle.
A group of mysterious armed men seized the bottle of super soldier serum before the deal could be made. Ross was almost furious. Not only that, but what's even more annoying is that it was not a foreign force that seized this bottle of serum, but an internal force in the United States.
Rose had ten thousand MMPs to say about this, but he couldn't do anything about it.
The United States is too big, which means that there are many interest factions within the United States, and these factions are all competing for the limited resources of the United States. The most typical rationale is the various departments of the US government. They are actually interest factions. Every year, these departments compete for congressional appropriations and budgets, each showing their own unique skills, and there are countless obstacles and political strife.
Even the U.S. military has many internal factions, let alone the Air Force, Navy, and Army. In fact, competition among the military services of various countries is very fierce. For example, the Air Force really doesn't like what the Navy and Army do with Army Aviation and Naval Aviation. And the Army hates the Marines and Air Force Marines.
Not to mention, in addition to the military services, internal factions also compete with each other for various resources.
All in all, such a half-way approach is not uncommon in the United States. And it is impossible for Ross to solve this matter through political means, because it is impossible for Bieran to spit out the fat he has swallowed by political means alone. Anyway, if this happened to Ross, he wouldn't spit it out.
Therefore, Ross cannot let this bottle of serum return to the hands of other factions in the United States. All he can do is to take advantage of others! As long as this kind of thing is done abroad without anyone noticing, it is equivalent to not letting go. The opponent will be the same as Rose before. Even if he knows that Rose is behind it, he cannot openly trouble Rose.
Once Ross succeeds, they can only break their teeth and swallow it.
So in recent months, Ross mobilized various forces to pursue and intercept the serum, hoping to get it abroad.
But Rose's opponents are not weak either, and they use various means to break through the encirclement. The last serum arrived on the Yago and lay quietly in the safe of the Yago. Just wait for landing and transfer immediately.
Ross intercepted the message. He originally planned to wait for work in Chile and snatch the serum as soon as it landed. But after waiting in Chile for several days, the Yago was not seen ashore, so Ross, fearing that there would be no accident, decisively led his own armed team.
…
After eating and drinking, Kai decided to lead a group of people to the upper command deck. The command deck is the second deck of the entire Yago. Although the space there is small, it is the most important place on the entire cruise ship. There are fewer pipes there, which can also limit the monster's raid. It is the most important place on the entire ship. safe place.
Also because of safety, the safe is also on that deck. After Kai decided to place everyone here, he took Joey and others to obtain parts on the lower deck and repaired the cargo ship. Once the parts were obtained and the cargo ship was repaired, these people could reach the lifeboat deck through the stairs outside the smart deck. , go down directly to the sea from there, and then take a freighter to leave here directly.
Perfect!
Coming to the command deck, Kai immediately asked Xiao Gui to try to restore the cruise ship's system. If successful, they could call for additional personnel. By then, leaving would only be more convenient.
After Xiaogui connected his personal terminal to the cruise ship's main control system, he shook his head at Kai.
"The system has been destroyed too completely. If I want to restore it, it will take me at least ten hours." The main control system was destroyed by a virus, and it was a virus written according to the main control program. I want to restore it in a short time. The main control system is too difficult, at least I don't think anyone in this world can do it in a short time.
"Forget it, we don't have that much time. Imp, Goat, Portman, and Sage stay here on guard. The rest of the people and I will escort the three of them to the lower deck to find parts." Kai didn't say anything more. Four people were left here to watch the survivors. Before leaving, Kai made a special statement to Saji that Benjamin and his wife were the most important targets. Once something unexpected happened, the priority would be to protect the safety of Benjamin's family. If that was not possible, then only the safety of Benjamin himself would be enough.
Saji has no objection to this. When performing tasks, what he fears most is extraneous complications. Putting other team members in danger for a moment of soft-heartedness is a taboo for all commanders. There are only two most important tasks for a commander. One is to obey orders and complete the task, and the second is to try his best to ensure the safety of his soldiers.
When a soldier follows the commander and obeys the commander's orders, he is putting his life in the hands of the commander. But not those survivors. These survivors were not their responsibility in the first place. The only order they received when they came here was Benjamin! Instead of protecting others.
This point must be made clear. There is no market for the Holy Mother in the army! After all, Our Lady is a personal matter, and a soldier cannot put others into unnecessary danger because of his own emotions. Although it is a bit cruel, this is the quality that a true soldier should have. Of course, humanitarianism can be demonstrated without compromising the mission.
Just after the explanation was finished, Miss Cui Lin on the other side started acting like a monster again. She still hoped to get Kai's help, and she also wanted to open the vault. Unfortunately, Kai has no interest in this at all. He doesn't care what's in the vault, but getting involved with this woman who works for the CIA is too much trouble. Anyway, the order he received did not include helping the CIA, so even if he ignored the CIA, it had nothing to do with him.
Will the CIA be unhappy? Then go find their boss. Let's see if those military bosses will ignore them. Although Kai has no interest in fighting for power, he is also factional. His immediate boss is a key member of a major faction in the US military. Major General Hawke can become a major general at the age of less than forty. You really think he can do it just by his ability. Can it work? Don't be naive!
The CIA is very good, but they are also powerless against the big mountain among the US military. The power of the country's armed forces is no joke. It is absolutely impossible for at least one intelligence agency to make the military boss bow his head.
Ignoring Cui Lin, Kai led several people directly to the lower deck.
…
Kai had just left for half an hour when General Ross, who had been searching in the sky, finally found the Yadan cruise ship on radar.
Ross is a typical ruthless character. He always only cares about the results when doing things, regardless of the process. To put it bluntly, he does not compromise by means. "According to the intelligence, the serum is in the vault on this ship. I only want the serum, and the rest... I authorize that any suspicious target can be killed!"
Rose's words did not stipulate what constituted a suspicious target, but everyone under his command understood what Rose meant: anyone they saw would be killed and silenced!
