Tom could feel this powerful "soul" from everyone in the assault team.
He had to put away the contempt in his heart.
Long Zhan brought an excellent team here, and all the preparations went very smoothly. Director Hunter's anxious heart was relieved a little.
Another matter that Director Hunter was concerned about finally got news at this time.
Bradley Talbuk, who was named by the terrorists, finally got accurate information after various police investigations.
It turns out that this guy is a Colombian drug trafficker who was secretly brought back to the United States by the CIA two weeks ago.
Now the person is still in the hands of the CIA and is secretly protected by them somewhere.
Precisely because he was brought back by the CIA, all information was classified as top secret and was not in the police archives, so it took so long to investigate him.
If it weren't for the Salt Lake City police, they had nothing to do and had to submit an application for permission to the Ministry of Justice.
I’m afraid I don’t have a clue even now!
It is a good thing for the rescue operation to finally know the origin of the person the terrorists want and which agency is currently in the hands of him.
But at the same time, there was one more thing to worry about.
The Salt Lake City police finally obtained information about Bradley Talbuk through multiple channels, but they were stuck in subsequent communication with the CIA.
The CIA is very powerful and does not give face at all and does not care about any terrorist attacks.
Not only did they refuse to disclose more relevant information, they also refused to hand over Bradley Talbuk to the Salt Lake City police, and even refused to apply for a meeting.
The reason is that Bradley Talbuk is an important informant of their CIA and is related to a major international case, so there cannot be any problems.
He also made it clear that Bradley was not a fan and had received diplomatic protection, etc.
Anyway.
The attitude of cia is one...
Our actions are more important than your rescue. In order to ensure Bradley Talbuk's personal safety, it is absolutely impossible to hand him over to the police.
As for how to rescue the hostages, that is a matter for your police and has nothing to do with our CIA.
As a federal country in the United States, each state is relatively independent and autonomous, and the federal government is also isolated from the lower state governments.
The federal government cannot directly lead state governments, and federal departments do not need to cooperate with state government departments.
Under such circumstances, cross-state cooperation is very troublesome, let alone cross-department, cross-unit, and cross-state cooperation. The degree of difficulty is even higher.
Even if the Ministry of Justice, the highest department of the police, comes forward, I am afraid there is no way to force the CIA to hand over the person.
Because CIA is under the control of the Ministry of Defense!
The CIA said that Bradley was related to national security, so it would rise to the level of national security. Compared with the hundreds of hostages held hostage, the Department of Defense would definitely help its own unit, the CIA, for the sake of national security.
After all, there are hundreds of millions of people in the United States, and the latter is obviously more important than the former.
The country is above all else.
This is not nonsense.
Under the constraints of such a complicated situation and the CIA's complete lack of cooperation, there is no need to discuss this matter unless the president personally orders it.
However, even if the president personally orders it, it may not be effective in practice.
After all, it is obvious to everyone around the world how dirty the CIA's butt is in private. If Bradley Talbuk is involved in some CIA shady affairs, it must not be made public.
Even if the president signs the order, CIA will find ways to cause trouble.
For example, Bradley Talbuk tried to run, but the CIA agent had to fight back in self-defense, causing him to be shot and died without resuscitation.
Another example is that he had an accident late at night and died of sudden myocardial infarction, etc.
This method of causing accidental death was not only mastered by Arthur the mechanic, but also by CIA agents.
Many high-ranking officials around the world and even top leaders of the country have died of various sudden diseases inexplicably.
Does it really have nothing to do with CIA?
Everyone knows it!
Director Hunter, as the top person in charge of the rescue operation, also knows what kind of urine the CIA is.
Seeing this result, how can I not feel sad and uncomfortable.
Compared to the superior CIA, he is a mere municipal police chief. The gap between the two sides is really too big.
Don't ask Cia to pay someone before dawn, Cia may not do it even after a week.
CIA is very powerful in the United States.
Even the most powerful person in the police force, the FBI, can only be reasonable in front of the CIA instead of just kicking in the door and rushing in.
Not being able to get Bradley Talbook means not being able to negotiate peace with terrorists.
If there is no way to satisfy the terrorists' conditions, then the terrorists will definitely go to extremes in the end, and there is a high probability that they will die together as they said.
And if we want to save these more than 200 hostages, there is only one last way left -
Launch a surprise attack to the rescue!
Thus.
Whether the action proposed by Long Zhan can succeed is not only related to the black hat on Director Hunter's head, but also related to more than 200 living lives.
Director Hunter didn't want to see the tragedy happen, so he could only pin all his hopes on Long Zhan.
In order to increase the success rate of the operation, Director Hunter personally called Governor Smith and asked all units across the state to cooperate with the operation.
As long as it is the supplies and personnel required for the rescue operation, they must be prepared and completed in the shortest possible time.
This year is the election year for the new governor of Utah. The current governor Smith wants to be re-elected for another term and is making preparations for the election in full swing. He does not want a "major murder" to occur during his term of office.
Therefore, when faced with the call from Director Hunter, he immediately agreed and conveyed it.
The influence of the state government is different. During the period before the subsequent operation began, a large number of materials and personnel needed for the operation were successively sent to the school.
Materials are in place and personnel are in place.
The time is counting down to action!
"00:59:51, 00:59:52, 00:59:53..."
Everyone stared at the time nervously. At the moment when the time jumped to 1 o'clock in the morning, the first phase of the rescue operation was officially launched.
With the coordination of the two technicians, several of the wires were cut off on the external machine.
The central air conditioner that has been operating normally in the gymnasium and keeps the indoor temperature at 26 degrees has undergone small changes due to this small action.
There are vents all over the gymnasium, and the wind blowing out is no longer warm.
Instead, it became a natural wind.
In this late night when the temperature has dropped to 8 degrees Celsius, the natural wind blowing from the air conditioner is enough to be described as bone-chilling wind.
"What's going on? Why is it so cold?"
A terrorist who was guarding the stadium gate suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around suspiciously and started looking for the reason.
After walking a few steps following the source of the cold wind, he soon discovered the truth.
