The Blacklist

Chapter 190: Mobilizing Resources for Comprehensive Encirclement and Suppression
The CIA charter plane was attacked in the air, the security door was blown open, and 12 agents were knocked unconscious by anesthetics. One pilot parachuted away with the suspects, and then another pilot flew the plane to Cape Hatteras and landed safely at a military airport without causing any casualties.

This bizarre mid-air prisoner hijacking incident was the first of its kind in the United States, and it spread among various law enforcement agencies in less than a morning.

At the White House national security meeting that afternoon, National Security Advisor Wright was the first to speak out, demanding that Director of National Intelligence Baldini explain the incident.

Subsequently, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Hawkins and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Fitch respectively sent formal letters of inquiry to the DHS and CIA, asking them to explain the incident.

Then, DOJ and FBI also attacked DHS and CIA, demanding that the two departments hand over their senior agents. Even if they were guilty, they had to follow the law. What would happen if they just got rid of the people?

Federal Court Judge Etna Troy had issued an arrest warrant for Elizabeth. At this time, he received a formal inquiry letter from the Attorney General's Office, asking him to explain the basis for issuing the arrest warrant, why the person was handed over to the CIA, and who was responsible for the person's disappearance...

Judge Troy was shocked and angry, and sent a legal letter to DHS in the name of the Federal Judge's Office - others want me to explain and be responsible, so you must be responsible before me!

Kerry wanted to make this matter bigger this time, so he used more than just these tricks. He also asked SER director Donald to ask Wright's son, a very successful criminal lawyer, to represent him. On behalf of SER, he filed a formal indictment with the District of Columbia Court, accusing Director of National Intelligence and DHS Minister Justo Baldini of deliberately framing federal agent Elizabeth Keen and abusing his power to instruct the CIA to maliciously murder her...

Soon, more than 20 national media outlets that had previously received information about the "fulcrum" from Reddington and made a lot of reports and received a wave of dividends published headlines almost at the same time:

"The secret society still exists, and it controls senior officials to attack senior federal agents again..."

"There are many secrets. The Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Homeland Security are suspected of helping criminal organizations and murdering federal agents who have made contributions to the country..."

"What country is Baldini, a senior White House official, an undercover agent of? How could he openly attack patriots?"

"After being falsely accused of 16 felonies last time, senior federal agent Elizabeth Keen has been framed again and her life or death is currently unknown!"

"The CIA is helping the evil. It has no law enforcement power in the country, but it can actually arrest people and cause them to 'disappear'. Is it secretly harming them or putting them in a 'black prison'?"

……

The public opinion storm quickly expanded. By the next morning, the White House spokesman had to hold a press conference, claiming that the president had taken note of the terrible incident and suspended Baldini from all his duties. National Security Advisor Raven Wright was responsible for coordinating the joint investigation between DOJ, DHS, FBI, and CIA. I believe the truth will be revealed soon. Please be patient...

On the evening of August 8, although it was time to get off work, the core members of SER and SLR did not leave the post office building and gathered in the large room on the ninth floor for dinner. Unfortunately, Elizabeth was not present. Donald was the one who was most touched. He knew that Elizabeth was framed, but after the incident, he had no way to do anything. He could only watch her being captured by the DHS and handed over to the CIA. When he was feeling sorry for himself, he heard that she was hijacked on the escort plane! At that time, he was angry at first, and then he realized that the only one who had the ability to take action was Carrie, not Reddington!

When he went upstairs to get angry before, it was not so much to question Carrie, but actually just an anger at his own powerlessness! And now, he could imagine that even if Elizabeth appeared in public in Washington, no one would dare to touch her. He was no match for this method, so he could only accept it!

Others had their own ideas, but after this incident, they all united more firmly around Carrie - with this boss around, even if they were falsely accused of "treason", they could turn it around, so what was there to worry about!

Among the people present, there are three special people - Dembe and his daughter Ellie, who is holding a little girl who is only over one year old. They need to stay here temporarily until things are over.

From everyone's words, Dembe already knew what happened outside, and of course he didn't sigh in his heart. Although he and his daughter and granddaughter are safe now, he is worried about Reddington and Elizabeth, and can't help but take the time to ask Carrie how they are doing?

"Don't worry, they are doing fine!" Carrie said, "They are not in China now, they are playing in South America!"

Dembe laughed. He knew that Reddington was showing Elizabeth some of his secret assets so that she would be prepared. He didn't know if Carrie knew about this, but he thought she should know! He was used to Carrie's magic now, and he wouldn't be surprised if she was even more amazing.

In fact, Carrey really didn't know why Reddington took Elizabeth to South America, and he didn't care. After rescuing her from the plane, he sent her to the yacht driven by Reddington, and then hurried back to Washington, without asking any questions about what happened afterwards - he didn't want Reddington's family fortune, so why should he think so much!

For him, the targets to be concerned about are Baldini, DIS Assistant Director Lafitte Kahle, who are currently being watched by Jeffrey and Elise's teams respectively, and the currently missing Moriguchi Makuyuki. These people mean crime prevention points and bonuses! Oh, and the two "Wolf Spiders" Kara Kurt and virus weapons expert Andropov who have not been killed yet are all resources!
-
Starting from the next day, Hewitt Wright, the attorney for the SER team, was responsible for prosecuting Baldini, while the main force of SER continued to hunt down Moriguchi Makuyuki under the command of Donald.

Because there was "news" that this person was now in Washington, Donald relied on the authorization of DOJ and ordered the FBI-HSD branch and the local police station to strictly block the external channels of Washington.

At the same time, SER dispatched a field operations team directly under the base, with the support of the DOJ's direct forces, to inspect small airports within the Washington area one by one, and strictly check all private aircraft. If there was any non-compliance, the aircraft and people would be seized. In just three days, more than a dozen aircraft and dozens of people of all kinds were seized, causing complaints from both the political and economic circles!

Donald once asked Carrey if doing so would offend too many people?

Kerry answered him: This is to offend people on behalf of DHS, the more the better!
