The atmosphere in the study became full of gunpowder, which didn't seem to make everyone nervous.
Old Smith is still carefree and carefree. He smokes a cigar. Former defense minister Rumsfeld just squints at Andy with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The other generals look a little dignified and their eyes are twinkling. Each of them ponders what can be used to move the greedy and cunning young man for a while and block up his mouth.
As for the US soldiers and the colonel who were disarmed and detained, these generals are very clear that they are responsible for their own actions. After all, they are illegal military actions. Even if the military wants to be unreasonable, it is the fault of freedom Eagle company. In this case, they dare not do so.
After all, Andy Smith, who has a huge killing weapon, once he is angry and lifts the table directly, the military will really bring down blood mould!
Since the overthrow of the Sadam regime and the occupation of ilak, everything that happened in ilak is a confused account, involving hundreds of billions of dollars, including how many disputes, how many transactions, how many interest games, how many interest groups to benefit, there is no way to figure out, no one dares to figure out.
Silence, eerie silence.
At first, I thought the generals on the scene would support their toughness, and put pressure on Secretary Gates, who has been looking at his sneering Andy Smith with idiotic eyes. He frowned for a week, and his pupil slightly shrank. However, he did not give in, but he looked at Andy dead and waited for Andy Smith's reply.
"Buzzing --"
Andy raises his eyebrows, shrugs his shoulders, takes out his mobile phone, looks down and shows it, smiles mysteriously from gates, and connects the phone, "I'm Andy Smith, what can I do?"
This time, including old Smith, they all looked at Andy with curious eyes, who had a wonderful and changeable expression on his face. Until Andy hung up, the eyes of all the people did not leave.
"Well, something really happened!" Andy helplessly shrugs his shoulders and smiles, but his tone is full of banter.
"In the early morning of the 12th Baghdad time, a group of unidentified armed men surrounded the camp of freedom Eagle security company in Baghdad with guns and prepared to forcibly rush through the checkpoints. In the absence of a search warrant issued by the headquarters of the U.S. Army in Iraq, they asked for an illegal search of our company's camp. John cook, the company's resident supervisor, was unable to respond to the verbal warning because of the other party's failure In order to protect the safety of the company's resident property and personnel, disarm and detain them in accordance with the security and anti-terrorism law issued by Mr. Bremer, the chief executive in Iraq... "
Andy explained with a smile, and finally reached out for Bremer, who shook his head but couldn't help laughing. The others also shook their heads and smiled bitterly. They now insist that they are unidentified militants, and they don't admit that they are detained us soldiers at all. Well, in this way, everyone looks better......
While the generals were comforting themselves, Andy Smith continued: "no way, our company mainly provides security work and is good at defensive protection. In the face of hundreds of armed men with guns, only fifty security personnel are on guard in the company, and it is understandable that they are nervous. The purpose of disarming and detaining is mainly for safety investigation
As soon as he said this, the present military big men's mouth corners all could not help twitching several times, this he mews the red fruit fruit to hit the face.
"Cough..."
Abizaid, a four-star general, sneered at Andy Smith, a young man. He coughed twice to remind him that the dignity of the U.S. Army should be maintained. Although he knew better than anyone, the vultures of the freedom Eagle were all retired American elite. John cook was the former colonel of the Marine Corps, although they were all his own But after all, there is a distinction between active service and retirement.
Andy picks his eyebrows and doesn't excite the general's glass heart any more. Instead, he stares and says solemnly: "I was going to release people after I confirmed my identity, but the Colonel named hopfen told my staff that they were searching for an American contractor and an arms dealer named stoudel, claiming that the other side was a spy, and this stoudel's The American happened to be a customer of the company, who was ambushed and killed by unidentified militants on the way to the US embassy by providing security services
As soon as stodale's name appeared, several generals and the top members of Congress exchanged eyes secretly, and the eyes on Andy became more and more dignified. They can confirm that the evidence of the whole interest chain has been grasped by the young man in front of them.
"My staff couldn't confirm that Colonel hopfen's statement. After all, it was about the murder of an American citizen. They had hoped to inform the embassy to deal with it after daybreak. However, just after daybreak, the company's residence was surrounded by a large number of soldiers. In order to show other accidents and worry about the truth being distorted, the resident supervisor chose to stay in the embassy In the presence of the FBI and the chief executive in Iraq, make things clear, hand over personnel and turn in some evidence that may help investigate the case! "
“。。。。。。”
The study became quiet again. Even just now, he was very tough. A pair of Defense Secretary Gates, who wanted to impose sanctions on freedom hawk security company, also stared at the army general Tommy Franks sitting opposite him. If Gates could become the defense secretary, he would not be an idiot. Ilak's mess. As the defense secretary, he was very clear With $125 billion in reconstruction funds, and the agreement reached between the Iraqi interim government and the Pentagon to allow it to temporarily manage the oil revenue of ilak, it has long been a bad debt!Just after Andy said that stodale was a contractor and an arms dealer, gates immediately speculated about the whole story. To be honest, he really wanted to get up and leave the study at once, not for his bad attitude before, but for the fact that he didn't want to mingle with the ILAC vortex, which was already a rotten mud pond. After all, the donkey Party led by aoguanhai has begun to gather investigators I have come to dig deep in the mud and catch big fish.
But unfortunately, as the Washington proverb goes, "no one is really innocent, and boy scouts are no exception." As a senior politician, we should also understand that no matter which side we are on. Everyone has to eat.
The people present are the real big fish. The great man who gets the most out of Washington will never really pursue......
Leaning on the sofa, Andy looks at the silent people with a smile. Andy and the old Smith with the same smile and brilliant eyes look at each other. Andy breaks the silence and pretends to be angry and discontented and says: "before, the Baghdad resident sent me a document saying that the employer stodale gave it to the company's employees at the last moment of his life, hoping that he could The contents of the document were made public and handed over to the FBI because of a $50 billion corruption case that was squandered in ILAC's reconstruction program. "
When the figure of 50 billion is exposed, all of you can't help but look at each other and take a breath of cool air. Whether you really don't know it or not, you will be shocked. Gates said angrily, "it's impossible!"
Rumsfeld, the former minister, also looked at Andy Smith, who was sneering. He frowned and said: "it's too exaggerated..."
"Pa!"
Andy didn't pay attention to Gates' gaffe, and didn't dispute whether Rumsfeld's so-called "too exaggerated" is to question the numbers or to lament the corrupt people. Instead, he sneered directly and left the unsealed paper bag on the table. With inertia, a stack of photos were thrown out of the paper bag and spread on the table.
"No one supervises, everything is managed disorderly, only a lot of money that makes people's heart beat faster, lingers in front of their eyes every day, lies on the account, ha ha, what is more suitable for the environment of fishing in troubled waters?"
Andy looks at some of the big guys who have a deep connection with ILAC. He would like to say that everyone here is loaded with garbage for 13 words. However, he needs to extract oil from these people. Andy will not destroy his plan for the sake of the speed of she.
All the people here have their eyes on the photo on the table. The top one is a colonel wearing desert camouflage, biting a cigar and hiding behind "Jinshan".
"Damn it"
"This idiot!"
。。。。。。
The generals of Curtis Whiteford, who recognized the man in the picture as the one who gave them the money, were angry in their eyes, black in their faces, biting their teeth and cursing in their hearts. They wished someone could kill the idiot at once.
"Take out pizza filled with us dollar cash. Bags of cash are carried into the barracks and sent to the tables in various offices...... Tut Tut, I read the evidence. I thought it was the barracks of an African warlord. It was amazing! " Andy continued the snake's sarcasm.
"This is a super rat! We must punish them severely! "
"Send them all to the military court!"
"These bastards, damn it..."
Looking at the indignant and angry generals, Andy sneers in his heart, but with an expression of approval on his face, he says: "fraud, corruption, dereliction of duty, these giant rats have defiled the honor of our army and should be punished by law. I have asked the director of Baghdad to contact the U.S. Iraq reconstruction special supervision bureau and decide to give these evidences to them... ”
"no way! Mr. Smith, you can't do that! "
"Absolutely not..."
"Andy, they should have a military court!"
Andy pretends to be forced by the common voice of all the people on the scene. He looks shocked. He opens his mouth and doesn't know what to say. His heart is full of sneers. The big fish finally bite!
