Team A and Team B returned to the base after completing their mission, and the scene was more lively than any previous operations.
Eric, Mandy and Diaz went to the tarmac to greet them, and then Eric held an internal press conference at the airport.
Let’s get rid of the cancerous Harani network in Afghanistan and cooperate with reporters in a series of questions and answers.
It can be predicted that after some publicity by these reporters, another glorious record will be added to the SEAL team's honor panel.
Team A and Team B participating in the operation need to maintain confidentiality. Even if they are members of the SEAL team, they cannot accept interviews from the outside.
After getting off the plane, we took a bus from the airport and were taken back to the SEAL camp.
This was the end of Team E's affairs. Long Zhan, Clay and other members completely relaxed. After taking off their equipment, they took a shower and fell asleep peacefully.
Jason has not forgotten his obsession, and is still thinking about Carter when he comes back.
For this purpose, Mandy was specially found, and Mandy, who was more proficient in intelligence work, helped analyze whether there was room for reversal of this matter.
Mandy really helped Jason.
If there was only Steve Porter's sample, after using the fake identification report to fool him, there would be no need to set up a trap and blow up the entire E-Team in order to kill Porter.
Mandy guessed that it was possible that Porter was not fooled, knew that the soil analysis report was false, and secretly collected some evidence.
Carter and the people behind him panicked, and then they had to take the risk and kill him.
And determined.
This possibility is extremely high.
Jason thought what Mandy said made sense, and the two immediately went to Diaz for help and retrieved a list of all Porter's personal belongings.
The list of results turned out to be all personal belongings, and it was obvious at first glance that there was no evidence hidden there.
Seeing that Mandy's guess was about to come to nothing, Diaz used her expertise as a logistician to retrieve Porter's consumption records for the month before his death and compared them with the final list of relics.
Another important discovery was made.
Two weeks before Steve Porter's death, he purchased a portable hard drive, but the hard drive did not appear in the list of belongings.
Mobile hard drives can be used as information storage media, and they have disappeared without reason.
to this point.
Mandy's guess was basically correct.
It has been learned that Potter's belongings are not on the list, and the dormitory where Potter lived has been completely vacated. The new resident Jason has lived there for a month and has looked through every corner but has not seen a mobile hard drive.
So the question arises, where is the mobile hard drive hidden?
Jason, Mandy, and Diaz all had headaches.
After thinking hard for a long time, Jason recalled what Amy once said: "Potter has a tomato garden at the camp, and he stays in it as a gardener whenever he has free time."
All the places Potter had touched had been emptied, leaving only this last place.
"I know where it is."
Jason was almost sure of it before he even went there, so he ran outside overjoyed.
Diaz and Mandy were confused. Driven by curiosity and doubt, they followed Jason all the way to the "small vegetable garden" on the east side of the camp.
It used to be a vacant lot, but after several months of work by Porter, tomatoes were planted in ammunition boxes.
"Steve comes here often. The mobile hard drive must be hidden here. We all help to find it."
Jason didn't care that the tomatoes were growing vigorously. When he caught one, he uprooted it, turned the ammunition box upside down, put it on the ground, and rummaged through it.
I couldn't find it in the soil of the first pot of tomato trees, so I started looking for the second pot.
Mandy and Diaz also reflected and found that in a place with no secrets like the military camp, it was indeed a good place to hide things, and joined the search.
One of the three people rummaged through boxes and cabinets, leaving the entire tomato garden in a mess.
In the end, Jason, whose hands were covered with dirt, actually dug out the mobile hard drive contained in a three-layer waterproof bag from the dirt in a pot of tomatoes.
After reading the contents on the computer, I found that it was a recording of Porter going to confront Carter.
There are also recordings and materials that Carter obtained through him, including the conspiracy of Xeon Corporation to acquire the land containing lanthanum at a low price in the name of anti-drugs.
With Steve's mobile hard drive, Jason could already determine that Carter was related to the destruction of Team E.
At least some help was provided.
Unfortunately, this is the only thing that can be confirmed. The contents of the hard drive are basically Steve's personal guesses, and personal guesses cannot be used to testify in court.
This means that even if the mobile hard drive is taken out, it will not have any impact on Carter.
It is even more impossible to arrest him.
Jason was so angry that he lost his mind when he thought that the accomplice was still on the loose and that the clues to continue the investigation were completely cut off.
He asked Diaz for the floor plan of the base and tried to solve it in his own way.
Fortunately, Mandy found out in time.
It was guessed that Jason was going to use his best ability to cause a terrorist attack in the camp and make Carter pay for his actions.
He promptly called the most trusted person, Long Zhan, and called Jason out for a heart-to-heart talk overnight.
The two spent a lot of time persuading each other, and Long Zhan even used the family card to ask him to think about his children and how much harm their father's imprisonment would do to them.
Mandy also came up with a new plan to reveal the news to the media.
The media is not a place that requires evidence. As long as there is a little bit of speculation or connection, it is enough for them to write a report.
Jason finally calmed down and gave up the idea of using violent crime to solve the problem.
Mandy and Long Zhan went to find Paul that night. At first, Paul was still angry about being used as a gun last time. When he saw that it was Mandy who knocked on the door, he was ready to close the door and say no.
Long Zhan was not the kind who liked asking for help, so he just threw the mobile hard drive to Paul.
Leave a sentence: "This contains what you want most. I guarantee that it will be enough to make you famous. I hope you will not be too scared to report."
Finished.
Long Zhan turned around and left with Mandy without saying another word.
Stimulated by Long Zhan's provocation and out of curiosity about the contents of the hard drive, Paul did not throw the mobile hard drive away.
Instead, he closed the door thoughtfully and connected the hard drive to the computer.
Whether Paul finally dared to report the contents, neither Long Zhan nor Mandy could determine, but this was the limit of what they could do.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is reported or not, because Carter himself is just a pawn.
As long as Abad, who actually killed Team E, is dead, the case will be closed, and the bonus and money that should be paid will not be less.
That's enough for Dragon War!
After Jason was depressed for several days, as Team B entered the normal life in the stationed area, he drank alcohol, ate barbecue, and walked around every day. After his life became dull, he finally accepted the reality.
This world is full of dark sides, and as an old special forces soldier, Jason knows it better than anyone else.
Before, it was just hatred that blinded his eyes, and he wanted to do things to the extreme. When his emotions stabilized and his rationality returned, he understood how to make a choice.
In a country controlled by capitalism, going against the interests of high-level political leaders is not something ordinary soldiers can bear.
As Jason gradually accepted the reality, his physical state was just the opposite.
It's getting worse day by day.
The damage caused to the brain by severe concussions does not gradually recover spontaneously over time, but instead becomes more and more serious.
Long Zhan, Lei and other members of Team B have all seen Jason talking to himself in the air.
Sometimes he would suddenly become very irritable and yell at everyone, but he would return to normal after a few minutes and sincerely apologize to everyone.
Everyone knew something was wrong with Jason and wanted him to get treatment.
But Jason believed that there was nothing wrong with his "mental state" and refused to receive any treatment. If he talked too much, he would become manic and restless.
Although Long Zhan and others were worried about Jason, Jason was so resistant that they had no choice but to do anything.
The more you force a person with mental problems, not only will you not be able to help him, but it will worsen his condition, which is tantamount to harming him.
The only thing Long Zhan and others could do was to relax with Jason as much as possible.
It is hoped that through this relatively comfortable life, Jason can gradually regain his health through recuperation.
Except for Jason's mental state which is not very stable, everything else is basically back on track and everyone's life is "comfortable".
Pick up girls and drink.
The little days are over.
Since the Harari network has been completely destroyed, there are very few opportunities to go on missions, not even once a week.
Long Zhan also had more time to do physical exercises with Mandy in the evenings.
Everyone in Team B also knew about the relationship between the two. Apart from a few jokes, they didn't think there was any problem. After all, they basically all have their own "running buddies".
Long Zhan thought that he would spend the next two months of his posting in this kind of leisurely life.
Unexpectedly...
On Friday of the ninth week of deployment, Eric received an urgent assignment from the headquarters.
Four people need to be transferred from the first action team to form a special incident emergency response team and be stationed in Moshadiga, the largest city in Somalia, to participate in peacekeeping missions with the local US military troops.
