Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 144: Taking Advantage of the Situation
A few hours later, the police brought the riot in front of the hospital under control and calmed down the people inside the hospital...

As the temporary head of the hospital, Tessa made a bold choice. She stood directly in front of the media...

Facing the reporters' excited questions, Tessa, who was wearing haggard makeup, said in a sad tone: "There was a very serious problem inside the hospital. Through the confession of the suspect, we learned that the CIA spies in the United States bribed some police officers and hired killers to kill the injured soldiers.

The CIA wants to kill the case of US military involvement in human trafficking in Pattaya. They want to prevent us from rescuing those poor girls who were trafficked to Bahrain.

We will not let them succeed, and we will fight tooth and nail to keep these soldiers safe until we get a perfect answer."

........................

Kobe Andrews, a black agent of the Naval Criminal Investigation Service of the United States, was sitting in a black official car that was stuck on the road. He saw the media interview with Tessa on a TV outside a roadside restaurant...

When hearing Tessa put the blame on the CIA and vowed that the Thai police would do their best to protect the safety of those soldiers, black Kobe rubbed his face in pain...

Kobe's appearance is considered handsome according to the public's aesthetic standards. He has a very high nose and a thin face, but his eyes are surprisingly firm.

But at this moment he looked unusually haggard, because ever since Wilt's inexplicable death in a hotel room, he had been sent to supervise the Thai police's investigation.

However, although the Thai police cooperated with them, they refused to provide them with legal law enforcement endorsement. That is, they could investigate, but all actions needed to be carried out with the cooperation or supervision of the Thai police.

Kobe had felt a lot of resistance since the first day he arrived in Thailand. Now he had received an order from his superiors to rescue the captured American soldiers, which made his situation even worse.

Because theoretically, it should be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of National Defense that should come forward, rather than him, an agent from the NCIS.

The NCIS is responsible for dealing with crimes committed by U.S. Navy service members. Kobe knows that once he is involved, he will be caught in a dilemma.

Because he is just a means for the United States to "surrender in disguise". Sending him is to show the Thai side that they will conduct an investigation...

This kind of scandal that has been exposed will definitely be downplayed in the future, but it is impossible to give up the investigation...

On the surface, those white left saints in the United States will not give up, but in fact this is a good opportunity to redistribute power.

Using the scandal to put pressure on the U.S. Navy could potentially affect the destination of hundreds of billions of dollars in military spending.

This is a general problem, and for Kobe, this scandal investigation not only needs to face pressure from the US Navy...

Kobe knew very well that even if someone supported him, he would still need to do a lot of complicated work and collect a lot of evidence before he could convict some of the unlucky people who were pushed out.

This time is calculated in units of 5 years, which is a huge blow to Kobe whose career is on the rise.

Because no matter whether this case is handled well or not, it will not do him any good.

Especially after Tessa put the blame on the CIA in front of the media...

This is outrageous!
A small Thai policeman directly accused the American CIA, and the whole logic was reasonable in the eyes of the public and the media...

A group of lawless American soldiers were caught in a weak spot. In order to maintain its international image, the United States instructed the CIA to execute the murder. This logical chain is complete...

Moreover, America has a lot of history in this regard, and it’s not even a secret to the public.

Just like Oswald shot off Kennedy's skull, and then a policeman shot him dead, then the policeman died, the reporter who investigated the policeman's death died, and the agent who investigated the reporter's death also died, and finally the matter was left unresolved...

America's style of doing things is sometimes so simple and crude that it looks like a makeshift team.

So whenever a reporter asks Europeans about their views on Americans, most of the responses he gets are comments like "rude", "ignorant", and "disrespectful".

Kobe didn't know that Tessa didn't have any evidence of CIA involvement. She didn't even have the right to formally interrogate the soldiers, so she invited British media reporters to participate in the inducement...

Putting the blame on the CIA is intended to focus on one point through reasonable logic, and then bypass complicated laws and allow the media to directly participate in the conviction.

As for whether the CIA did it or not, Tessa or Shanying didn't care at all...

This is not a simple investigation of a case, but a political struggle. Whether we can put enough pressure on the other side is the key to whether the political struggle can make progress.

Now the US government can only put pressure on the police through the British government. If the British government does anything that makes people uncomfortable at this time, the political consequences of overthrowing her will be greatly reduced.

This is the best thing for Thailand...

As long as you step on the right wind, even a pig can fly to the sky!

Similarly, as long as you see the general trend clearly and then do everything in line with the general trend, you can easily borrow strength.

Kobe couldn't see the struggle, so he fell into the struggle...

........................

At this time, Shanying was standing in a small conference room in the hospital, looking at several nervous American soldiers...

“Guys, you have committed an unforgivable crime, but Thailand has no power to punish you because you have criminal immunity.

But don't worry, someone will come to pick you up soon, and then you will die like the dozens of soldiers who die mysteriously every year in Fort Bragg. To be honest, if I were a senior officer in the Navy, I would not send assassins to kill you, but take you back to a bottomless dark cell and lock you up in darkness until you die.

You have brought shame to the military profession!"

Looking at the few soldiers who had never experienced the temptation to confess and looked a little unimpressed, Shanying walked to the side of the unlucky guy who was "saved" by Geralt before, and pushed his wheelchair to the front...

"You think I am humiliating you, but you are wrong. I am actually threatening you...

Because only when you know what you are facing will you feel fear..."

Shanying's sinister tone did not scare everyone. A pot-cut man with a slight injury on his face suddenly stood up and said loudly: "We have criminal immunity. You have no right to do anything to us..."

Shanying put his hand on the shoulder of the unfortunate guy sitting in the wheelchair, looked at the brave pot-head, and said with a smile: "What did I do? We are protecting your safety!

I can't do anything to you, but your safety will soon be taken over by the NCIS...

And your superiors, Benson and his people, the real culprits, will stay in the intensive care unit waiting for the news of your death.

Maybe it was a car accident, maybe he committed suicide due to excessive mental stress, maybe he became mentally ill and was locked up in a mental hospital and was stabbed in the butt by those rude nurses...

It doesn't matter, you're dead!

Because if you live, it will have an impact on the U.S. overseas military bases..."

Shanying picked up a remote control and turned on the TV, which was showing the parades of the US military outside several military bases on the peninsula, island countries, and Europe...

A large number of people held up signs saying "rapist" and shouted that they wanted to get the US troops out of their country.

Seeing the soldiers in the audience turn pale under the impact of the TV screen, Shanying turned off the TV, picked up a stack of paper and pens, and distributed them to the soldiers while saying with a smile: "Guys, it's time to write a suicide note. If you need it, I can also provide you with a phone so that you can say your final goodbye to your family.

Because when you are transferred, you will no longer have this opportunity...

Don’t thank me, I did all this not out of kindness, but to make you feel scared and to make you feel pain before you die…”

After Shanying finished speaking, several soldiers couldn't bear the pressure and burst into tears...

Shanying reached out and patted the unfortunate guy in the wheelchair on the shoulder, saying, "To be honest, I don't think it's worth it for my comrade to get shot to save you. But it doesn't matter. You will pay enough for what you have done..."

The unlucky guy's psychological defenses were broken. When Shanying turned around and wanted to leave, he waved his injured arm vigorously, threw the paper and pen at Shanying's back, and cried out in tears: "We are just following orders. We didn't do those things. We just followed orders...

It’s not our fault!!”

After Shanying heard this, he turned around, took out a stack of photos of the scene of the Wilt warehouse, and threw them into the conference room...

The photos showed imprisoned girls, including the bodies of several girls who died of thirst, women who were tortured and in a trance, and women whose bodies were in disarray after being sexually assaulted...

Shanying said in a cold tone: “As a human being, I think I should kill you all now.

You should be glad that I am a policeman, because the police uniform on me tells me that I should obey the law.

So I subscribed to all the newspapers in America, and I will read those newspapers every day, hoping to read the news of your death in some tofu block.

Then I will collect this information and send it to the girls you have harmed, so that they can find some comfort."

The unlucky guy in the wheelchair was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this. He waved his hands and hit the wheelchair with all his strength. Even though his wounds were broken again, he did not stop...

"We are following orders. We are required to obey orders, but we are not the ones who give the orders..."

Shanying sneered and shook his head, saying, "Sir, let me remind you that you have criminal immunity, so we, the Thai police, have no way to deal with you, and there is no need to tell whether what you say is true or false...

The people who are really in charge will be lying in the intensive care unit. Maybe the news of your death can make them wake up and sincerely repent to those they have hurt!

You are just minor characters, so…”

After saying this, Shanying didn't give anyone in the meeting room a chance to speak, and he opened the door and walked out...

The soldiers who were left in the meeting room began to look at each other...

.....................

When Kobe's official car arrived at the hospital entrance, it was already dark. He pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked into the hospital surrounded by several NCIS agents in suits...

But when he saw the soldiers who were not seriously injured, he heard bad news...

"What? They won't leave with us?

why?
Do these idiots know what they are doing?"
