Benjamin is full of gratitude to the Speaker of Congress. In fact, according to the constitution and law, Benjamin can actually take office in advance. But if this incident occurs and he does not handle it well, it will be a major blow to his political career. If not, he may have to take the blame and resign in advance.
But now that the Speaker of Congress has taken the initiative to shoulder this burden, it is equivalent to sharing the responsibility for Benjamin. In this way, even if this incident is not perfectly resolved, Benjamin does not have to bear too much blame and pressure.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but look at the Speaker of Congress gratefully. I sighed in my heart, no wonder the Speaker of Congress can survive seven presidents. If nothing else, his courage and ambition are far beyond the reach of others.
Unfortunately, Benjamin didn't know that the reason why the Speaker of Congress took over the power was to cooperate with Sherron's plan, and letting Benjamin come to watch made him convinced of Sherron.
After everyone sat down, the Speaker of the National Assembly habitually picked up a pen, tapped it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "First tell me what you know about the situation."
James stood up, placed the document in his hand in front of the Speaker of Congress, and explained: "Last night, Harris visited Base 215 for the purpose of checking the security of the base. However, no one expected that his men would take the opportunity to raid the base and destroy it. The No. 31 gas bombs stored inside have almost been emptied."
Benjamin frowned and asked: "How terrifying is the No. 31 gas bomb?"
James sighed: "The No. 31 gas bomb is an upgraded version based on VX Sarin gas. The power of VX Sarin gas is terrifying. With just one drop, everyone in this room will not survive, and No. 31 The poison gas is five times more powerful than VX Sarin gas, and more importantly, there is no antidote."
Benjamin turned pale when he heard this and sighed: "In that case, why do we develop such a terrifying weapon?"
The Speaker of Congress extended his hand to interrupt Benjamin and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to care about this matter. We should focus on how to deal with Harris."
He looked up at James: "Does the National Defense Department have any plans?"
plan
What plans can there be
We are also confused, right
Of course, these words cannot and dare not be said to the Speaker of Parliament.
On the surface, James seemed unfazed and confident of victory. He said solemnly: "According to the latest intelligence, we have captured General Harris..."
The Speaker of Congress waved his hand: "Harris is no longer an American general. From the moment he attacked the base of the motherland, hijacked the people of the motherland, and threatened the government of the motherland, he has been a terrorist who betrayed the motherland."
"Yes, we have obtained intelligence information about Harris himself and his men." James immediately changed his words. "Currently, there are 23 soldiers who are known to have rebelled with Harris. All of them are from the Marine Corps and are proficient in special operations and assassination. , blasting, sniping and other professional skills. In addition, from satellite images and drone reconnaissance footage, it was discovered that there were suspected small radar devices on the island."
"What does it mean?"
Benjamin asked confused.
James looked at Benjamin and said seriously: "In other words, if we want to raid from the air or launch missiles to directly blow up the entire island, they can detect it in advance through radar, and then..."
"And then they're going to launch the gas missiles, right?"
Benjamin said gloomily.
James nodded, looked at the Speaker of Congress, and continued: "So we are considering diving underwater, through the sewer, and directly into the island to rescue the hostages and dismantle the missiles."
The Speaker of the National Assembly frowned and asked, "Is it highly likely to be successful?"
"Uh..." James hesitated, "We will do our best."
"Then we're not sure." The Speaker of Congress snorted, "Has the island been found out? Why did Harris choose where it is?"
"Robben Island, also known as Alcatraz Island, was originally a gold mine. Later, after the gold was mined out, the British transformed the island into a prison. During the Civil War, many senior southern officers were imprisoned, so the entire island The island had long since been transformed into a fortress.”
As he spoke, James distributed the information on Robben Island to the Speaker of Parliament and Benjamin: "Later, due to the frequent exposure of negative news such as the abuse of prisoners, and under the pressure of public opinion, it was closed not long after the end of the Civil War. Now it has become a He visited a famous tourist attraction and the hostages taken hostage by Harris were the tourists who just landed on the island today."
Benjamin looked through the documents and frowned: "Why are there no architectural drawings here?"
"Because there aren't any," James sighed. "Most of the buildings on this island were built by the British back then, because no drawings were left from the war. During the Civil War, they were frequently remodeled and transformed on the basis of the previous ones. It was so confusing that we didn’t collect the drawings at all.”
"Since there are no blueprints, how do you sneak into the island?" Benjamin asked, "What if the sewer is connected to the abandoned mine and the assaulting special forces get lost?"
"Oh, don't worry about this. I have a prisoner who escaped from that island." James said calmly, "If he leads the way, we should be able to sneak into that island successfully."
"Wait, prisoner?" Not to mention Benjamin, the Speaker of Congress asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that the island was closed after the Civil War? How could there still be prisoners!"
James coughed a few times and whispered: "During the Cold War, we secretly detained spies there. During this period, a spy once escaped from the island, but he was still caught by us later. He is now locked up. In another secret prison.”
The Speaker of Congress frowned: "Soviet spy?"
James replied awkwardly: "No, it's a British agent."
“…”
The Speaker of Congress and Benjamin looked at each other vaguely, and the Speaker of Congress continued to ask: "What did this guy do?"
James shrugged: "He stole a batch of top-secret documents and has yet to explain. This is why he is still alive today."
Benjamin asked: "How can you guarantee that he will cooperate with you?"
"His granddaughter goes to school in New York. If he doesn't want to see his only living relative being attacked by poison gas missiles, he must cooperate with us."
James placed a photo on the table. The photo showed a smiling blonde girl.
The Speaker of Congress nodded slightly: "What's the name of that agent?"
"Mason, but before we caught him, he had a more famous name." James smiled, "Bond, James Bond."
"Ha, 007." The Speaker of Parliament sneered disdainfully, "Our British allies are doing a lot of things. Even the agents have to create a star to show off. Speaking of which, we already have so many James... Bond?"
"No more, no more," James said with a smile, "Only five."
