American Fortune Life

Chapter 1605: Big Fish Bite the Hook

The atmosphere in the study became powdery and did not seem to make everyone present nervous.

Old Smith still cares about closing his eyes and smoking cigars. Former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld just smiled and looked at Andy with a smile in his mouth. Several other generals looked slightly more concentrated and his eyes sparkled, and a ghost-bearing mind thought about what could be used to impress this greedy young man and shut his mouth.

As for the American soldier and the lieutenant colonel who had been held in captivity, it was very clear that they were responsible for their own illegal military operations, even if the military wanted to be unreasonable, hardly speaking, the mistake of Freedom Eagle, and they would not dare to do so in the present circumstances.

After all, Andy Smith, who holds the giant killer, once he's breathed down and lifts the table directly, the military is really going to be in bloody trouble!

Since the overthrow of Saddam's regime and the occupation of Ilak, what happened there has been a blurry account involving hundreds of billions of dollars, of which there have been no traces, no deals, no games of interest, no interest groups have benefited, there is no way to figure it out, and no one dares to.

Silence, weird silence.

Thought the generals present would support their toughness, they had always looked at themselves coldly at Andy Smith pressured Minister Gates, their eyebrows wrinkled for a week, their pupils slightly shrunk, but instead of giving in, he died and Andy looked at him and waited for Andy Smith's answer.

“Buzz--”

Andy picked out his eyebrows, shrugged his phone, looked down, smiled from Gates' mysterious smile, and answered the phone, "This is Andy Smith. Say something... ”

This time, including old Smith, looked at Andy with a curious look on his face until Andy hung up and everyone's eyes didn't leave.

“Well, something really went wrong!” Andy shrugged helplessly and smiled, but his tone was full of drama.

“In the early morning of the 12th day of Baghdad time, a group of unidentified armed men, armed with live ammunition, surrounded the premises of Freedom Eagle Security Company in Baghdad and were prepared to forcibly cross the border, demanding an illegal search of the premises of the company without a warrant from the United States military headquarters in Iraq. In the absence of a verbal warning, the company's resident chief, John Cook, had been unable to distinguish his suspicious identity because of the lack of clarity of his counterpart and, in order to protect the security of the company's premises and personnel, had been handed over for seizure in accordance with the Security and Counter-Terrorism Decree issued by the Chief Executive in Iraq, Mr. Bremer. ”

Andy explained with a smile, and finally reached out to Brammer, who shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. He is now an unidentified armed man who does not admit to being a detained American soldier. Well, that's fine. Everyone looks better...

As the generals comforted themselves, Andy Smith went on to say: "No way, our company mainly provides security, is good at defensive protection, is understandably alert to the presence of hundreds of armed men armed with live ammunition, and has only more than fifty security personnel. The seizure of weapons is mainly for the safety of screening... ”

In other words, the military bosses present had a few twitches in the corner of his mouth, and his meow red fruit hit him in the face.

“Cough... ”

General Abizaide's obscure ridicule of Andy Smith, some of whom he could not hear, cautioned him to stop, the dignity of the United States Army still had to be preserved, although he knew better than anyone that the vultures of Freedom Eagle were veterans of the United States Army elite, John Cook was a veteran colonel of the former Marine Corps, although they were all his own, but there was still a distinction between active service and retirement.

Andy picked out the eyebrows and stopped stimulating the glass hearts of the generals present. Instead, he frowned solemnly: "We were going to release them when we identified ourselves, but the Lieutenant Colonel, Hopfin, told my staff that they were searching for an American contractor and arms dealer named Stodell, claiming to be a spy, who happened to be a customer of the company and was ambushed and killed by unidentified armed men on the way to the United States Embassy to provide security services... ”

As Stoddale's name appeared, several generals and the big congressman in the room exchanged their eyes in secret, and the look at Andy became more and more condensed, they could confirm that the evidence of the entire chain of interests was already in the hands of the young man in front of them.

“My employees were unable to confirm the statement of Lieutenant Colonel Hopfin, after all, about the murder of an American citizen, who had hoped to inform the embassy of the matter after dawn, but at dawn, the company's premises were surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and in order to have other accidents, and fearing that the truth would be distorted, the Resident Supervisor chose to clarify the matter in the presence of the Embassy and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as the Chief of Staff in Iraq, by handing over personnel and handing over some evidence that might help to investigate the case! ”

“ ”

Once again, the studio became silent, even with a tough attitude, Defense Minister Gates, who was about to impose sanctions on the Free Eagle Security Company, stared at Army General Tommy Franks, who was sitting across from him, and Gates, who could become Defense Minister, naturally would not be an idiot, Irak's mess. As Defense Minister, he knew perfectly well that, in addition to the $125 billion in reconstruction funds, there was an agreement between the Interim Government of Irak and the Pentagon that allowed him to temporarily manage Irak's oil revenues, which had long been a wreck!

Just after Andy said that Stodale was a contractor and an arms dealer, Gates immediately speculated on the whole story. To be honest, he really wanted to get up and leave the study immediately, not because he had a bad attitude before, but because he really didn't want to mix with the Irak vortex, which was already a rotten mud pond. After all, the donkey party, headed by Augusta Sea, had begun to gather investigators to dig deep mud and catch big fish.

Unfortunately, however, as the proverb circulated in Washington says, 'No one is truly innocent, and Scouts are no exception.’ As a senior politician, it is equally important to understand that it is on either side. Everyone has to eat.

Those present are the real big fish. Washington will never truly hold a big man accountable... for his best interests.

Leaning on the couch, laughing and watching the silent crowd, Andy and the same smile, the colorful old Smith looked into his eyes, and Andy broke the silence and pretended to look angry and dissatisfied and said: "Earlier, the Baghdad office sent me a document saying that the employer, Stodale, at the last moment of his life, had given it to the employees of the company, hoping that the contents of the document would be made public and handed over to the FBI, because it involved a $50 billion case of corruption that had been squandered in the IRAC reconstruction program... ”

When the 50 billion number came out, everyone here couldn't help but look at each other and take a sip of cool air. Whether you really didn't know it or not, you looked shocked, and Gates was furious to say, “No way! ”

Former Minister Rumsfeld also looked at Andy Smith with a cold smile, his eyebrows locked in silence: “That's exaggerated... ”

“Bang!”

Andy ignored Gates' demeanor, and did not get to grips with whether Rumsfeld's so-called 'exaggeration’ was questioning the numbers or lamenting the corrupters, but simply grinned and left an unsealed bag on the table, a picture thrown out of the bag with inertia, unfolding on the table.

“Without supervision, everything is out of order, just a bunch of money that accelerates heartbeat, wandering in front of them every day, lying on the account, huh, what better place to mix fish than this? ”

Andy looked at some of the big guys in the room with a deep connection to Ilak, and he wanted to say, everyone in the room, they were all garbage loaded with 13 words, but he had to squeeze oil from this group of people, and Andy wouldn't ruin his plan for the sake of SHE.

Everyone here looked at the photograph on the table, the top of which was a desert camouflage, biting a cigar in his mouth, hiding behind the golden mountain and squeezing his eyebrows at the colonel behind a desk full of cash.

“Damn... ”

“You idiot! ”

The man in the picture was the general of Curtis Whiteford, who gave them money. His eyes caught on fire, his face turned black, his teeth cut and he cursed in his heart. He couldn't help but send someone to kill this idiot immediately.

“Take-out pizza filled with cash in dollars, a bag of cash was carried into the barracks and sent to the desks of various offices... Tsk, I saw this evidence. I thought it was a warlord's camp in Africa. It's amazing!” Andy continued to scoff at the serpent.

“This is a super rat! You must be punished severely! ”

“Send them all to a military court! ”

“These bastards, they're fucking... ”

Looking at the outrageous generals, Andy smiled with a concurring look on his face: "Fraud, corruption, neglect of duty, this group of rats has tarnished the honour of our army and should be sanctioned by law, and I have asked the head of Baghdad to contact the United States Special Inspectorate for the Reconstruction of Iraq to decide to hand over this evidence to them. ”

Mr. Smith, you can't do this! ”

“Absolutely not... ”

“Andy, they deserve a court-martial! ”

Andy pretended to be forced by the similarity of the people present, some shocked, opened his mouth, didn't know what to say, and his heart was laughing coldly, the big fish finally bite!
