#895 - What a pity! Not dead! (First update!)
"There has been no response from America yet, or rather, America's officials have not made any official statement yet."
The young staff officer's words made He Qingyang feel overwhelmed.
When this happened, the American government did not release an announcement immediately. It is possible that Odbiao was really dead, or it is possible that those damn officials in America were secretly planning something shameful.
Or, both.
Headache.
He Qingyang rubbed his head with his hands, then turned to look at Lin Yu:
"Send a message to Rheinsteel, tell everyone to prepare to work overtime and cut off all external communications!"
"Then try to see if you can contact Hanks, or Dana."
"At this critical moment, we must figure out what they are thinking. In addition to showing goodwill, we also need to show our attitude."
"I'll go find the leader and see what he says."
Leaving these words behind, he stretched out his hand and waved gently to the young staff officer, then walked out of the room.
In the room, after watching He Qingyang turn around and leave, Lin Yu picked up the landline on the table and called Rheinsteel directly.
The person who answered the phone was Qian Duoduo. As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end took a deep breath:
"Brother, you finally called me, what's going on?"
"Nothing's wrong, everything is normal." Lin Yu said indifferently. While the person on the other side was catching his breath, he lowered his voice and said in an extremely serious tone:
"Let everyone prepare to work overtime, and cut off all external contacts!"
"Stay by the phone at all times and wait for orders."
After saying that, he put down the phone, took out his special mobile phone, found Hanks and Dena's numbers, hesitated for a moment, and continued to scroll down and found Nicholas' number.
Just press it out.
After about 50 seconds, when the call was about to be automatically hung up, the call was connected and Nicholas's anxious voice came from the phone:
"Brother, why are you calling me at this time?"
"Can you get in touch with Dana?"
"You can't contact directly?"
"At this critical moment, do you think I dare to contact him directly?"
The rhetorical question made Nicholas on the other end of the phone fall silent.
Indeed, just after the President of America was attacked by a suicide drone bomb, the CEO of the company that produced the drone contacted the commander of America's largest war zone.
"However, Mr. Lin, I need you to send some personnel to Bosnia to help me pick up a few people."
"Give me the information!" Lin Yu didn't waste any words. Now was a time of racing against time and not a single second could be wasted.
Nicholas explained the information clearly on the phone and then hung up.
Listening to the busy tone in the receiver of the mobile phone, Lin Yu edited the message he had just heard into a text message and sent it to Luo Ping.
And told the other party to hurry up.
After sending the message, Lin Yu continued to slide his finger through the address book, and finally, he came across a number that he had saved a long time ago.
Greb's cousin, Parison's number.
I have saved this phone number for several years, but have never called it once, and I don’t know if the other party has changed their number.
Nicholas is one line, but it is safer to have one more line.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu gently placed his thumb on the number, selected it, and dialed.
The phone rang for a few seconds and then someone answered it.
But the voice coming from the phone was not Parison's, but Greb's.
"Are you crazy? Making this call at a time like this?"
Although his words sounded anxious, Greb's tone was not fast, and it was obvious that he was not very scared.
After hearing the other party's situation, Lin Yu responded calmly: "I still want to call your father!"
"That's not necessary!" Greb stopped Lin Yu's thoughts and spoke faster:
"My father just got the news that President Odebiao miraculously survived the attack. He didn't even suffer serious injuries."
"It's just that the senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense suffered heavy losses. Fifty or sixty people were killed, and only about ten are left."
"General Hanks' injuries are not serious. His injuries are from the car accident yesterday."
"It's just that because of the explosion, I dragged my injured leg in the rain and now I have a fever."
"I'm lying in the hospital, surrounded by people. If you want to know more, maybe it's more accurate to read the information from those people on Twitter."
"I'll hang up first. It's not safe during this period. My father will be very busy during this period, so we need to minimize contact."
"goodbye!"
Beep, beep—
The busy tone of the phone rang again. Seeing the prompt that the call recording was completed popped up on the phone screen, Lin Yu couldn't help but frown.
He was a little disappointed.
Former American President Bush died from his own missile. If Odebiao also died, it would mean that two American presidents were assassinated in succession.
Then, things are going to get more fun inside America.
Those officials need to face two problems.
Should he choose to avenge Odebiao, or take advantage of this opportunity to stab his opponent madly and then scramble to occupy the vacant position.
Of course, officials can choose to operate on two lines, but a person’s energy is limited, and operating on two lines may cause problems.
Once something goes wrong, the fun will be even greater.
Unfortunately, Odebiao did not die.
With a president keeping aloof, these officials will not act recklessly. They may even try to divert domestic conflicts under the leadership of Odebiao.
Very annoying.
Now, we need to see what attitude Dena has.
If the situation is not right, then all communications must be cut off.
I looked at the time and realized that I had spoken to Nicholas 20 minutes ago, but he hadn't called me back yet.
Very annoying.
The cell phone kept tapping on his forehead, and Lin Yu sat quietly in the room, waiting for a response from Nicholas.
This wait lasted for three hours.
In the blink of an eye, three hours passed, and the phone that was knocking on his head rang again. Seeing the words Nicholas, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, coughed lightly, adjusted his tone, and answered the call:
"What did Dana say?"
"First, President Odebiao is not dead. Second, he is very busy. There are many vacancies in the Ministry of Defense. It's very profitable." Nicholas responded quickly, and then he also coughed and changed the tone of his voice:
"Here are the original words from General Dena!"
"Tell Lin Yu that America needs to deal with her own internal affairs for a while."
"You reassure him."
“Also, ask him to monitor his subordinates and sell the unwanted drones at a lower price instead of throwing them around.”
"That's all!"
Hearing the pretentious words, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Nicholas on the other end of the phone, and hung up.
Then he found the phone recording and sent it to He Qingyang.
A few minutes after the phone recording was sent, He Qingyang's message came back.
[Keep the communication silent until A-Meili and the authorities make their statement! ]
【ok! 】
After replying, Lin Yu turned around, picked up the phone on the table, and called Rheinsteel again to continue arranging work.
The work had not yet been arranged when the cell phone used for ordinary work rang.
The number flashing on the screen is from Pakistan.
And it was an unfamiliar number.
Who could it be?
After a brief hesitation, Lin Yu switched the language to Punjabi and answered the call:
"Hello!"
After a greeting, a voice in Pashto came over the phone:
"Boss Lin, it's me, Amuler!"
"I need a batch of weapons, preferably some portable anti-aircraft missiles, and it would be best if they could be delivered as soon as possible."
Even through the phone, Lin Yu could hear the anxiety of the person speaking.
A question mark flashed through his mind. Sharif, who lived in Peshawar and inherited the will of Imam Musha, wanted to build a unique and regular Taliban belonging to Pakistan.
What happened that made you so anxious?
Thinking of this, Lin Yu began to search his memory for recent news about Afghanistan and Pakistan.
But no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any intelligence about the worsening situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
After thinking about it, he decided to play it straight and asked directly:
"What happened?"
"Fuck Al Qaeda!" After asking this question, Amul, who had already ascended to Sharif's position, started to curse:
"Those worse than pigs and dogs actually claimed that they were responsible for the attack on the President of America."
"They announced that it was nothing, but they just announced to the public that they had reached a cooperation with us."
"So this time they were able to have enough fighting power to assassinate Odebiao in the heart of America."
"Those damn beasts even made a video of me having dinner with the leader of Al Qaeda."
"The person they found looks pretty similar!"
"If I didn't know what I was doing recently, I would have suspected that I was sleepwalking into their territory and had a meal with them."
"After these guys make the announcement, we can pretty much guess what will happen next, even if we use our toes to guess."
"The Americans will certainly use Odabiao's death to start a new round of war, either against Pakistan or continue to increase their stakes in Afghanistan."
"In short, we're going to get beaten."
"So, Mr. Lin, I need equipment!"
Amid Amuler's cursing, Lin Yu finally heard the whole story.
After listening, he didn't know what to say.
After America has achieved internal stability, it will certainly find a target to attack in order to relieve domestic pressure.
Just like the 911 back then.
Al-Qaeda, Kurdish militants operating in Iraq and northern Syria, and Gambia have all claimed responsibility for the attack.
This is like handing a pillow to a sleepy America. If Americans want to save trouble, they can just pick one of these three guys and beat him up.
But using the process of elimination, the country of Gambia should be eliminated first.
There is no one in that damn place. The whole country lives along the Gambia River, which is 400 kilometers long from east to west and between 20 and 50 kilometers long from north to south.
What the hell is this kind of terrain?
It's shameful to beat him!
That leaves only two targets: Al-Qaeda and the Kurds.
In normal times, Americans would have chosen Al Qaeda.
After all, bandits have to be suppressed. They must be suppressed, and suppressed severely.
Al-Qaeda’s location is very remote, difficult to reach, and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Then the soldiers will need more and better weapons, and these weapons require money. Congress needs to allocate money, and the Department of Defense also needs to allocate money.
But now, there is a Kurdish force.
In other words, Türkiye or Syria, where the Kurdish armed forces are located, is very suitable to be the mastermind behind this.
After all, it is a drone, a high-precision and cutting-edge weapon.
It is impossible to complete this plan or this operation with the illiterate people of Al-Qaeda and the Kurdish armed forces.
Only a regular army and a regular country can complete this plan!
Therefore, Syria must be the mastermind behind this!
As this series of thoughts popped up in his mind, Lin Yu felt his head was a little swollen.
He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his temple, then responded to the phone:
“Odebiao is not dead, and because of the serious death of senior officials of the Ministry of Defense in this attack.”
"They need to get their internal affairs in order before they come out and mess with people."
"You don't have to rush."
"I'll send someone to bring you what you need. Once you get it, take advantage of your opportunity."
While talking, Lin Yu had already switched to the chat software, typed out the idea that had just come to his mind, and sent it to He Qingyang.
After sending it, he just started chatting with Amuler.
The content of the nonsense is, of course, how to deceive Americans.
As they were chatting, the door of the room was pushed open, and a staff officer who looked older than Lin Yu walked into the room, nodded to Lin Yu, and said softly:
"We just received intelligence that President Odebiao of America will give a speech at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia."
This sudden news made Lin Yu stunned for a moment.
Then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
President Odebiao is really brave and he is really not afraid of death.
With a smile on his face, he apologized to Amuler on the phone, hung up, picked up another mobile phone on the table that could connect to the Internet, climbed onto the Internet, climbed onto Twitter, and began looking for relevant media broadcast footage.
Soon, he found a live broadcast from the Washington Post.
The Washington Post mainly reports on political news and rarely broadcasts news on television.
Therefore, the picture that Lin Yu found was not clear. If he had to describe it in one sentence, it would be that the camera that took this picture was most likely a door lock produced in the last century.
But, you can make do with it.
Because their camera was very close, it was almost hitting Odebiao's face.
