Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 665 Busy Washington
While things were in chaos in Alaska, some people in Washington were like ants on a hot pan, busying around.

The Marriott Hotel was attacked by terrorists, and a group of foreign affairs personnel from an ally were hijacked and infected with the Ebola virus...

Eight hours had passed since the incident, but meetings were still going on in Washington, with various political brokers, contractors, and politicians looking for opportunities to meet at various important gatherings.

No one wants to be involved at this time, because these politicians all know that when the foreign affairs personnel of the allies are infected with the virus and are held hostage at the front, there will be no perfect ending no matter how this matter is handled.

A truly capable leader is one who can lead a team and minimize losses in the face of adversity. Washington does have such a person, but how could such a smart person take the blame on himself at this time?
The destruction of biological and chemical weapons is a large project that involves multiple international organizations and many American companies.

The initial budget for this project was $14 billion, but after nearly ten years, the direct cost of the project has reached $400 billion, not including the sponsorship funds received by international organizations.

If all is counted, the United States has spent nearly $500 billion to destroy its chemical weapons.

They paid $400 billion out of their own pockets, and another nearly $ billion was funds received by several international organizations from the United Nations, as well as sponsorship from relevant countries in order to supervise the United States' destruction of chemical weapons.

However, what most people don’t know is that the actual amount of money spent on destroying chemical weapons has exceeded $100 billion.

There are various environmental protection organizations that are trying to take advantage of the popularity, as well as several NGOs in the United States...

International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), Daisy Alliance, Abolition Forum, Arms Control Association

These organizations have very impressive names. Except for the Daisy Alliance, ordinary people would think that the other organizations are government departments or agencies at first glance. In fact, they are all NGOs!

These organizations attracted huge donations in the name of supervising the destruction of chemical weapons in the United States, and then extended the time for the destruction of chemical weapons in the United States to 10 years.

And that money went through their accounts and flowed innocently into many individuals or companies in the United States.

It’s actually money laundering!

One group of people ate up U.S. government funds by destroying chemical weapons, while another group of people used the name of civil supervision to launder money by absorbing donations, laundering a large amount of funds stranded abroad back to the United States.

At this time, the fact that the Angel of Death had obtained the VX gas raw materials was just speculation by Shanying and Kobe. Those bigwigs still had a fluke mentality and thought that the Angel of Death wanted Brad Russell just to find the VX gas raw materials that he had hidden.

They transferred Kobe to Alaska and kept the lid on it, so not many people knew about it at that time...

But all parties involved in the destruction of chemical weapons can no longer sit still!

If this matter is not handled properly and exposed, many people will be in trouble...

America's apparent integrity is built on the two-party system. Some people who make mistakes will be held accountable because bringing them down is itself part of the two-party struggle.

No matter if you are clean or not, as long as you have the chance, you will take down your opponent, free up an important position in the system, and show yourself at the same time...

This is the core of the struggle between the two parties!
However, the two parties have tacitly kept silent about the systemic corruption, poverty, and exploitation caused by the American system and various unreasonable policies!

The medical system, the insurance system, the financial system, and perhaps the education system...

These systems have created a bizarre America...

Kennedy touched the financial system and he died!
The black president just touched the medical insurance system and was humiliated!

In the past, education was free in America, but in 1995, the San Francisco Elite Conference Forum proposed the "pacifier theory," and happy education was put on the table. Then, America's education funding was cut again and again, and the quality of public schools gradually declined.

Finally, a large number of vested interest groups have formed around education, a rigid demand project.

Expensive private schools, costly after-school tutoring classes, and horrific college tuition fees.

When young Americans go to college, the average undergraduate debt is $3, and the average graduate debt is $8.

The fees for law students, doctors, dentists and other professions are even more terrifying!
This is the average value after taking into account state universities. If only Ivy League schools are counted, the number will need to be multiplied several times.

This kind of systematic exploitation is not a problem when economic conditions are good.

Many elite college students also feel that since I have spent so much money on studying, it is natural for me to charge higher fees when I start working.

But when the economy enters a stable period, the pain will appear!

If this happened in other countries, it would be a major problem that would shake the foundation of the country, but in the United States, these issues cannot be touched.

This is where the interests of the two parties lie and where the tacit understanding lies!
But putting aside the systemic corruption that affects everyone, on other projects, life-and-death struggles are the norm in the struggle between the two parties!
In 1993, the United States, Russia and 150 other countries signed the Chemical Weapons Convention, and in 1997 the U.S. Senate ratified the treaty.

These are all historical feats accomplished during the term of the famous President Louisville. Therefore, the interests surrounding the destruction of chemical weapons naturally fell into the hands of the Democratic Party!

The current black president is also a Democrat, but he has a very tense relationship with the Republicans. Once the problems in the destruction of chemical weapons are exposed, the Republicans will definitely rush forward and make the gap as big as possible!
In this situation, people will really die in order for those politicians to protect themselves!
………………

When Kobe wrote reports according to Mountain Eagle's ideas, one after another landed on the desks of these bigwigs.

With the arrest of the killer and two thieves, Kobe seemed to have made a breakthrough. Many people began to lose sleep!

Some people in the Department of Homeland Security are still holding out for luck, but rational politicians have already taken action and started to cut off the loose ends. These smart people have already started to consider what to do if the lid can no longer be kept down.

At the same time, the hot potato in Alaska was thrown to William Hurt of the Senate Pillar Group.

The old man was in a wheelchair and had a urine bag hanging on his body when he was called upon to take charge of the hospital. He declared that he would safeguard the national security and dignity of the United States at all costs.

The head of the Department of Homeland Security stood next to the old guy and read a speech with a shit-eating expression on his face.

As soon as the media left, the old man signed a dozen documents, then turned around and went into the intensive care unit, leaving the boss of the Department of Homeland Security disheveled in the wind.

The head of the Department of Homeland Security rushed back to the headquarters to work on-site, signed more than a dozen personnel transfer and material application documents submitted by Kobe, and then suddenly covered his chest and had a heart attack.

Before going to the hospital, the boss held the press spokesman’s hand and said earnestly: “Tell the media that Agent Kobe Andrews is the best member of our Department of Homeland Security and he will definitely be able to solve the problems caused by terrorists on the front line.

Our deputy director will go to Alaska to take charge of the work in my place, and he will be accompanied by the elite of the Secret Service.

I will fly to Alaska when I get better..."

………………

All this happened within 12 hours...

Before Kobe himself could react, the first C-27A transport plane carrying personnel and supplies had already landed on the runway of the private airport purchased by Shanying.

Shanying originally wanted to set off for the Marriott Hotel to help Kobe coordinate with the Anchorage police to blockade the area around the hotel, and to plan how to get in and cut into pieces the sniper who wanted to kill him.

However, the Department of Homeland Security responded so quickly that Mountain Eagle decided to stay and see what happened. If some big shot came and Kobe couldn't handle it and was used as a scapegoat, then he would lose more than he gained.

As it turns out, it is impossible for big shots to take this old transport plane. Even if there is an emergency, the bigwigs of the Department of Homeland Security have to take a business jet, which has to be equipped with blonde flight attendants.

The interior size of the C-27A transport plane is not large. Accompanying the transport plane is an eight-member special forces team dispatched by the Senate Pillar Group, as well as a few guys in plain clothes and a batch of advanced weapons and equipment such as computers.

Seeing the special forces appear, Shanying frowned slightly...

People who know the business actually know that there is no need for so many special forces on the scene!

Most of the Alaska State Police are now concentrated in Anchorage, and the Anchorage local police force has also been incorporated into it.

In addition to the Alaska National Guard that has already arrived, there are also two Secret Service special teams, two ISA teams, and nearly twenty Secret Service field agents on the move.

The striking force here is already more than enough, there is no need to send more duplicate forces.

If you want to add more staff here, then investigators, negotiators, technicians, and ordinary field staff are what are really needed here.

If they bring in a special forces team with obviously high tactical level, the combat effectiveness will be improved to a certain extent, but Kobe will have to sort out one more chain of command...

Very troublesome!
Shanying could sense that Kobe was also somewhat dissatisfied with the arrival of the first batch of support...

The old man ignored the special forces and enthusiastically greeted a group of men and women in plain clothes. He shook hands, hugged and greeted them, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with them.

However, Shanying himself is now a temporary consultant who is paid to work. He needs to take the initiative to fill in the gaps in Kobe's work, especially when he finds that there are acquaintances among the people who come...

"Hey, Sam, I thought you guys were still living in Thailand, why did you come to this icy and snowy place?"

When Sam, the captain of Charlie's squad of SEAL Team 6, saw Shanying, he exchanged glances with a bearded major beside him, rubbed his temples with a headache, and reluctantly took a few steps forward with his deputy captain Rondo and hugged Shanying...

"Shan, why are you here?
Who are you standing with this time? If we are not on the same side, I will turn back immediately..."

Shanying looked at Sam's skin which was tanned red by the Thai sun, laughed and said, "You are lucky, we should be the same this time.

But the bad news is, your opponents are tough!
If your mission is to rescue hostages, then I'm pretty sure you're in trouble...

The Angel of Death's men sealed off the upper half of the hotel and released the Ebola virus.

You are a professional and you should know that it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no harm to the hostages when attacking a place like this.

Why are you so unlucky?

Go and find out who sent you here, he has ruined your future!"
