One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty Four Tit for Tat

The Grand Commander thought for a while, then picked up the phone.

"Hello? Jesse? Send the Second Naval Investigation Team out..."

It's not for nothing that the commander-in-chief has been in power for several years. At least he has placed his own people in Washington, and even in many key departments of the military.

For example, the Naval Criminal Affairs Investigation Bureau is a criminal investigation department within the Navy.

This is because the US navy is very large, and the military has its own courts, which are not managed by local courts.

Therefore, the Naval Criminal Affairs Investigation Section is responsible for investigating various criminal cases within the Navy.

On the surface, it is only aimed at those small beatings, smashing, looting and burning, killing and extorting goods, but in fact it is used to a large extent, that is, it is a sharp weapon against the hilltops and senior members of the army.

You must know that the military of the United States has always been one of the three pillars of the country, and this group is full of hills and complex factions.

Many military leaders are representatives of various forces elected to power.

So sometimes even the president dare not touch them easily.

And this Naval Criminal Investigation Bureau is actually equivalent to a knife in the hands of the commander-in-chief, which is equivalent to the military supervisor in the past.

The only difference is that these people can still keep their life roots.

And this Jesse is the leader of the second team of the Naval Criminal Investigation Section. She is the confidant of the commander in the navy.

Usually, he is mainly responsible for the investigation of some criminal cases, but in fact, he has been secretly collecting information on the big bosses on the hills above the military.

Hearing the commander's order this time, this Jesse was finally happy.

It's finally time for her to flex her muscles, even though the commander of the Fifth Fleet is quite famous.

But if he really took him down, then he would have made a great contribution, and his future would be bright.

Getting promoted and making a fortune is just around the corner.

Prior to this, Pompeo had sent an investigation team to the Middle East. Some of the investigators were from the military and some were from the Ministry of Justice.

Although the Minister of Justice is now an Elephant faction, this does not mean that Pompeo is no one in the Ministry of Justice.

He had already planted a few dark chess pieces in the Ministry of Justice before, and this time it just happened to be used.

With his First Minister nodding, even though the Elephants did not agree with this investigation, he still organized a capable fifteen-member team and sent it out.

But this time the commander sent his dog, obviously he didn't quite believe that the investigation team sent by Pompeo could get things done.

And Jesse. The order Anderson received was to launch a secret investigation.

This time they will form a two-line investigation team with the investigation team sent by Pompeo.

One is in the open and the other is in the dark. The commander and Pompey have already judged that Robert. Norfolk certainly won't let it go.

That old man is not an ordinary person, why do the Elephant faction and those veteran elites in the west value him so much.

Because he is a living fossil in active service in the US Navy, although his military rank may not be the highest.

But his prestige is the highest in the navy.

Because he has been in the Middle East since two thousand years ago, and participated in all the wars since then.

Including the Afghanistan war after 9/11, and the second Iraq war later.

And he also reached the pinnacle of his military career in the second Iraq war.

At that time, the Fifth Fleet had even expanded to have five aircraft carriers, and he became the first general in the history of the US Navy to command five aircraft carriers at the same time.

There were even rumors that when he retired, he would become another five-star general in the United States.

Even after he retires, it is very likely that he will serve as the Minister of DOD of the United States.

From this we can see how difficult it would be to investigate such a powerful general.

Jesse could imagine how many troubles Pompey sent to those people would encounter.

The fifteen-member investigation team sent by Pompeo was led by Grumman.

There were five naval coordinators on his team,

The other ten were elite soldiers mobilized from the Ministry of Justice. ,

This time, he also came here with the mission of success or benevolence.

Because he knew about this operation, there was great dissent from the Ministry of Justice, and many people opposed the investigation of the internal affairs of the military.

After all, the military's cases are usually investigated internally by themselves, and when outsiders investigate, they will receive a lot of interference.

Especially the new Attorney General Anderson strongly opposed their group.

In the end, it was Pompeo who helped him win support from the justice, and this investigation team was able to take shape.

The nine justices in the United States are no joke, and their terms are generally longer than the president.

Therefore, the Ministry of Justice also wants to give these people face, otherwise, if they break up with these justices.

Then the Ministry of Justice will not even think about handling cases in the future. After all, they belong to the law enforcement system, while others belong to the legislative system.

At that time, all the cases they submitted will be rejected by you, and you still have to handle a shitty case.

So the new minister, Anderson, could only pinch his nose and asked him to form an investigation team with personnel and send them on the plane.

They traveled to the Middle East on a private plane arranged by Pompeo.

However, when they arrived over Bahrain, they could clearly feel the unfriendliness of the Fifth Fleet.

First of all, when their plane arrived over Bahrain, they were greeted by two F16 fighter jets.

The two fighters are like a sandwich, sandwiching their planes firmly in the middle.

Then they flew up and down, left and right in their plane, and made a lot of dangerous moves.

If it wasn't for the experienced captain, their plane would have fallen down long ago.

But their condition is still very bad. After all, facing the provocative actions of fighter jets, the nervous captain will inevitably make some evasive actions subconsciously.

These up and down movements made them puke out of the flickering passengers.

The few navy coordinators are okay, they all have the experience of going out to sea and taking a boat, and they are used to seasickness.

But others were in bad luck, especially Grumman, a landlubber, who vomited all over the plane on the plane.

After the plane landed, I couldn't move my legs anymore.

Basically, they were carried off the plane by several companions, and he couldn't even remember how he was sent back to his residence in the end.

It wasn't until the next morning that he was much better.

After a night of rest, his head, which had been shaken like a paste, recovered after restarting.

Holding a cup of coffee, he stood in the living room, looked at the scenery outside, and then pondered how to proceed with this case.

In fact, Pompey didn't just send a group of him over, at the same time as they set off.

Pompeo also directly mobilized his old connections in the CIA and found a special operations team to capture that fat Leonard.

That is another protagonist involved in this corruption case.

If you talk about dealing with Robert. Norfolk still needs to operate cautiously, so they don't have so many scruples when dealing with the businessmen from country F.

Country F was originally their son country. Although the leader of Country F, who came to power in the past two years, seems to be not very friendly towards Country M.

But Grumman knew that those were all superficial phenomena, and country F would still let them get whatever they wanted in the end.

Unless their president doesn't want to do it anymore.

So if the companions on the other side moved fast enough, they should have found Leonard's whereabouts by this time!

As long as you catch that guy, you won't be afraid that he won't speak.

Hehe, Guantanamo's interrogation skills are no joke.

As long as Leonard opened his mouth, Robert would be useless even if he was tough, and he would obediently bow his head in the end.

And judging from the way these guys received me yesterday, they didn't have any good intentions.

Presumably the plan made before was not so easy to implement.

Thinking of this, Grumman directly pushed the door to the next door and knocked on the door.

If I remember correctly, my assistant Turner should live here.

The place where they live is a hotel outside the base.

In fact, they can live in the US military base, but because they are afraid that living in the base will cause more ties, Grumman chose to bring people to live outside.

After a while, Turner opened the door, and it seemed that he should have just taken a shower.

"How is it, is it better, boss!"

Turner beckoned Grumman into the house and found him a bottle of water.

Grumman took the water and asked Turner.

"Called headquarters? Is Admiral Norfolk in, and when can we meet him?"

"It was called in the morning, but his secretary said that the commander is very busy recently, and he is in a meeting with the chiefs of staff of several Middle Eastern countries."

"A military plan for this year's Red Sea exercise is being formulated, and he will soon visit several other countries, so I don't know when he will have time."

Grumman was not surprised by Turner's answer.

He had long expected that Norfolk would not be so easy to see, and this guy would definitely not be caught easily.

He sent fighter jets to 'welcome' their arrival yesterday, so it wouldn't be surprising to arrange a closed door for them today.

It is estimated that they will not be able to see this guy for a while.

That doesn't matter, he just needs to wait for the news from Country F.

As long as the CIA can successfully capture Leonard, he will come to meet them in Norfolk at that time.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Manila, the capital of Country F.

Three vans are driving slowly among the jungles.

There are endless sugarcane fields nearby, and in the distance, there is a villa standing at the foot of the mountain behind the sugarcane fields.

And that villa is the final destination of this train team.

Smith, as the captain of the special operations team, put down the navigator in his hand at this moment: "Everyone organize your equipment and get ready!"
