Bahrain, Persian Gulf, US Fifth Fleet Command.

Admiral William Gotney, the commander of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, came to Peppa Portgas with a box made of cedar wood with one hand, and opened the lid of the box. A smell of mellow tobacco The breath floated out.He gave the CIA director of Middle East affairs a lot of face.

"Try one! An authentic Cuban cigar. You can't see such an authentic cigar in the Middle East."

The gentleman fleet commander intends to serve as the secretary of defense in the next government. Therefore, he lowered his stature and made friends with all kinds of powerful figures in order to pave the way for his political career after his retirement.Of course, the CIA is a temple he can't help but worship. Next, he plans to include the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security...

"Ah! Thank you, General, you are so kind."

Portcas leaned back, took a cigar out of the box, put it under his nose and smelled it.Then, following the words just now, I took another step.Said: "Middle Eastern things have their own particularities. It is not an overnight thing to adapt to."

The senior CIA agent gave the wrong answer, leaving the fleet commander confused. He received the cigar box and thought to himself: I don’t know what these Chia’s minds have been thinking all day, if there were no such people.Will the world be much simpler?

In fact, Admiral Gothney was also very upset.Two minutes ago, news from Saudi Arabia’s Dhahran Air Force Base revealed that the newly deployed Raptor Squadron had just lost two F-22 fighters near the territorial waters of Somalia, and he did not know the beginning and the end of this operation. Obviously, this was done by the Joint Council. The direct orders seemed to have nothing to do with his fleet.

Admiral Gothney sat down heavily on the sofa chair opposite Portcas, his snow-white navy uniform tight on his body, which made his body look more burly.In this way, when he sat down, the originally wide seat was pressed under him like a ball of cotton.He disappeared like a bag.

Portcas couldn't help but muttered in his heart: Oh, it's hard to imagine, that poor seat bears such a heavy pressure every day, maybe it will collapse someday.

Portcas lighted the cigar by himself. He held the gilded self-p lighter and shook the cigar back and forth, taking two puffs constantly on his mouth to make the thick cigar burn more vigorously.Compared with the general Gothic in a uniform.Peppa's gray suit looks a little choking. Although it is also a famous brand and expensive, Peppa's own temperament still makes him like a hillbilly just entering the city.

"General, there is a more important reason for following the fleet this time besides meeting local colleagues. I think now. It's time to explain the truth to you."

While talking, Portcas almost sprayed a mouthful of smoke on the face of the fleet commander, which made Admiral Gotney very dissatisfied.This traditional navy soldier has received good education and strict training, and has nearly 30 years of experience in leading troops and his achievements in overseas operations.That's why he is qualified to run for the next minister of defense.

To this end, Admiral Gotney has made preparations to enter the upper class society, from deportment.As far as his behavior and behavior are concerned, he is trying to get rid of his strong military color, and then become a man who seems to be loyal, humble and trustworthy.They can also shoulder heavy political tasks.Therefore, Portcas's rudeness disgusted him, but considering Page's CIA identity, he still held back his unhappy expression, and only waited for the smoke to clear before continuing to say something:

"oh, I see!"

The indifferent appearance of the fleet commander also made Page upset: I came here all the way to eliminate disasters and goods for you. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. How can it be as if I'm doing nothing wrong? Humph, these soldiers, even if they get to the general, there is still a muscle in their minds!However, the matter is important, and what should be said is still to be said.

So Page went on to say: "There are some rumors about your fleet, which is very bad for you."

Peppa closed the door. He wanted to see how the fleet commander would react to his words.

"Ah! That's it! This is normal. Soldiers will always be criticized, especially in peacetime. There are too many politicians idle, but I believe that no matter which faction is concerned, my fleet They are all iron fists they must rely on."

Admiral Gotney's words were soft but hard, not taking seriously the CIA's tone.Although he really wants to make friends with the CIA paparazzi, it's an equal relationship, and he can't do it like owing you much favor from the beginning!

Portcas glanced at Admiral Gotney, and thought in his heart, after all, this guy is a powerful figure in the military, and it is still good to prevent problems before they happen.

Therefore, Portcas suppressed his unhappiness for the time being, and continued to follow his own thinking: "We, the CIA, have been tracking an extremely secret intelligence clue for the past two years. This clue is related to a mysterious intelligence organization. At present, all the intelligence agencies we know have nothing to do with it. Therefore, we have to focus on Somalia. It is a pity that we have not been able to touch the context of the other party. The actions of this mysterious intelligence organization are really It’s hidden. However, we have not gained anything for more than a year. At least we have learned that this intelligence organization is very interested in the advanced weapons and equipment in our army. According to a piece of secret information, Chi a has reason to suspect This mysterious organization has already focused on the Fifth Fleet. This matter is Chia’s highest intelligence secret, and you are the first high-ranking general stationed overseas to know this."

The Portland conversation suddenly stopped here, and he took a deep breath of cigar.Let the mellow tobacco pause for a while between the nasal cavity and the lung lobes, and then opened his big mouth to spit out a thick smoke.Immediately, a smoke screen formed between him and the fleet commander, and for a while, each other could not see each other's faces clearly.

When the smoke cleared, Admiral Gotney exhaled the breath held in his chest.He has always criticized the CIA's style of doing things, but because of future official career considerations, he reluctantly put down his body and put on an approachable look.

Can look at this guy in front of me.A look of delusion and pretentiousness.Gothic's thoughts are surging, will it be made out of nothing and deliberately tell the truth?So he took a deep breath and looked at Portcas in silence, still indifferent.

Seeing Admiral Gotney panting well, Portcas then resumed the topic and started to answer questions and answers.But he cursed in his heart, this guy is really calm!

"You know, General, intelligence is a tricky business, and many of its contents are uncertain. This time is of course no exception."

Portcas stopped talking again. He raised the cigar in his hand and wanted to take another sip, but he hesitated after seeing the pained expression on the face of Admiral Gotney on the opposite side. Give up this idea.I thought: The general must regret giving himself this expensive cigar at this moment.

"This is the situation. General. I think someone is eyeing your Lincoln, General. I suggest that you should increase the level of security on the Lincoln to prevent anyone from making a big fuss on it."

Admiral Gotney stared at the Middle East director of the CIA with questioning eyes, and said to his heart, it turned out to be like this!No wonder he hesitated.But how do I believe that what you say is from the heart?There have been too many examples of this in the CIA's past "bad deeds"!

Perhaps seeing the confusion on the face of the fleet commander, Portcas knew that it might be difficult to impress the opponent with just a few words.So he simply stood up and put out the cigar that he had half smoked in his hand in the large ashtray.Then he paced slowly in the general's office.

"General, I don’t want to make something that is inherently complicated more complicated. But, as you know, we have the only military force in the world that can carry out strikes on a global scale. Our aircraft carrier battle group The local military and civilians are afraid to avoid it. Most of the reason lies in the deterrence of the aircraft carrier. General, you know! How many countries covet this kind of sea behemoth, and hope to have it. Weapons of the same power! General, we have made too many enemies!"

The Portgas cat lowered his waist and approached Admiral Gothic’s ears, lowered his voice and said, “If this situation fails, we will all be questioned by Congress. By then, don’t blame me for not having Tell you!"

Portcas straightened up, his tall body poked in front of Admiral Gothney like a telephone pole, and he saw a trace of tension in the face of the fleet commander.With a smile inside, don't say that you are a war-fighting general. When it comes to your career, life and death, you will be worried.It seems that this trick really worked!

Admiral Gotney watched Portcas' impassioned speech, and said nothing from beginning to end.He thought, it seems that what this guy said is true. If it really affects his future because of the theft of the Lincoln's technical secrets, it is not worth it!So, he said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will arrange for the guards on the ship to strengthen prevention."

While speaking, the admiral stood up and walked towards his desk. He wanted to call the captain of the Lincoln.Portcas suddenly felt that the fleet commander in front of him was actually very small, and he couldn't even make a small decision directly.

I think that I have only sent the intelligence data of the Somali aircraft carrier base to the Saudi air force base, and it was immediately adopted by the Joint Council. Presumably those bases and shipyards have already become prey of the "birds of prey" at this moment!

Portcas watched Admiral Gotney put down the phone and sat down on the sofa again, so he reignited the cigar. The smoke covered the general's frowning face and waited for the smoke to clear Page. Said proudly:

"General, please believe that what I said is not groundless. Tomorrow... Maybe it won't take so long before you will hear about the destruction of the Somali naval base. Don't be surprised. It is also a masterpiece of our intelligence agents."

Admiral Gotney heard about it and immediately understood the cause of the crash of the two raptors, so he couldn't help but wonder if this guy's words were a curse?Dooms come after being hit by his crow's mouth?He looked at the smug senior CIA agent, nodded worriedly and said:

"I believe, I believe what you said is the truth. Just now, our two F-22s that took off from Saudi Arabia crashed into Somalia. I think they must have accepted your suggestion before they suffered misfortune. ."

"What? Crash... crashed?"

Portcas opened his eyes in surprise and looked at the fleet commander. He wondered if he had heard it wrong. The "Bird of Raptor" has never suffered a defeat since it was born. Is it true that this time it will fold its wings in Somalia?

"General, are you sure that these two birds of prey fell in Somalia?"

Admiral Gotney shook his head and said, "Uncertain. So far, I have not received any notification about this operation. I just mentioned it because you just mentioned it, so..."

"Oh, I see, General, please don't relax the security of the Lincoln. If the Raptor's fall is true, it just shows that the information we provide is effective, but the Air Force underestimated their air defense self-defense capabilities."

Now it’s Gotney’s turn to sympathize with Chia. He thinks that Page makes sense. Whenever a mistake occurs, people always point the finger at the intelligence department, saying that they are wine and rice bags, but when the action is successful, people often Ignoring the intelligence personnel behind the scenes who made a significant contribution to this, medals and praise were given to military personnel who were lucky enough.So the general nodded and was about to say a few words of comfort, but unexpectedly the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

The general got up and signaled that Page waited a while and walked towards the desk. This time the phone ringing was a little special. The red telephone that represented the hotline of the War Zone Unicom Joint Joint Committee, usually only the chairman of the Joint Joint Committee Michael Mullen. Will be ordered.

Portcas picked up the warm cup of coffee from the coffee table and took a sip, mixed with the mellow cigar smell. He realized that today's coffee has a bitter taste. The first sour in his mouth and then astringent, like He is in the same mood at the moment.He didn't know that this was the South African coffee bean specially matched by Admiral Gotney for his premium cigar, and it was also the top grade in coffee.

Looking at the expression on the face of the fleet commander with anxiety, he wanted to guess the content of the call.He couldn't help but guess that it was a correction call to the so-called "Raptor" folding wings. At the same time, he also informed the fleet commander of the results of the two Raptors. The Somali naval base and shipyard had been completely destroyed by the Raptor's precision-guided bombs.

Admiral Gotney put down the phone calmly and walked quickly towards Portcas. This time he did not worry Page, and the commander of the fleet stood in front of him and did not intend to sit down.

"The fleet will soon cooperate with the SEALs on the mission of rescuing the fallen Raptor pilots, Page, let's talk about this first! Thank you for your reminder, and I will urge the Lincoln to take precautions."

Portcas stood up and reached out to Admiral Gothic, but mumbled and asked:

"The SEALs, are they going to send the SEALs to Somalia?"

Admiral Gothney held Page's hand and nodded and said:

"Yes, the order has been issued, and a small group of seals is on standby in the military port. I will send an attack nuclear submarine to the coast of Somalia, and then wait for an opportunity to pick them up with the pilots. Sorry, I can't delay too long. ."

"It's... well, all right! General, good luck! Goodbye."

Looking at the hurried figure of Gotney, Portcas knew that the weather was getting worse.The United States’ fifth-generation fighter was shot down by the Somali Freedom Alliance, and it was shot down for the first time as the world’s most advanced bird of prey. The impact on the United States is really too great.
