Blackstone Code

The director-general returned to the presidential palace with an expressionless face, and his status as frontline commander was revoked.

An operations director of the Security Committee became the new commander.

The next work will be mainly responsible and taken over by the Security Committee.

"Are you angry?" Lin Qi handed a cigarette to the director-general, "Or do you have other emotions, such as unwillingness, grievance, etc.?"

The two of them stood by the window. Connor was in the office next door responsible for coordinating and dispatching various tasks. The news that the entire naval fleet had been sunk had come.

The Ministry of National Defense sent a telegram asking the First Fleet to return immediately. According to the confessions of those who are currently willing to come back, about one-third of the warships have left the fleet.

They did not intercept, mainly because they were unwilling to open fire with their own people, especially when the main members of the Peleus family had been completely eliminated with the destruction of the second fleet.

The navy has deep feelings for the Peleus family. Maybe they feel that doing this can leave some... blood to the Peleus family, but they don't know that since the federal government has already taken action, they will not let them in. survive in this world.

Connor now seems very happy, even excited. The Peleus family has been solved, and then there is the issue of the purge.

The Second Fleet approached Bupen, and their fighter jets clashed with the federal air force. This all proved that the Peleus family and the navy were trying to launch an armed coup.

The South-Central Military District has assembled a large number of organic combat forces and rushed towards the Eastern Naval Military District. The Naval Military District is now in chaos.

Before the federal and military personnel arrived, the capitulationists and the die-hards were already fighting.

Some people want to resist to the end, some people want to make meritorious deeds, and both sides have reasons not to let the other side go.

Tomorrow's news will definitely be very shocking. With the possibly negative professional ethics of federal journalists, they will definitely write a lot of shocking content to attract people's attention.

It may even be written as a serialized content, before the latest news is announced by the Presidential Office or the Ministry of Defense.

Connor seemed very high-spirited after solving the Navy's serious problem. At least in addition to the medical security reform, he had completed another deed that could leave a mark in history.

Just...if people still need to learn history in the future!

The lively atmosphere in the room was a bit incompatible with the director-general who had just been summoned back. Lynch changed rooms with him to smoke a cigarette and relax.

After thanking him, the director-general lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "Actually, I am very grateful to Mr. President. He kept me away from a big trouble."

Lynch couldn't help laughing and said, "You should say this in front of him, he will definitely be very interested."

The director-general couldn't help but laugh, "I don't want to go there now, and I won't need to say anything later, but I will talk to him about it privately after the matter is over."

The Director-General is also a good person. He has been in this position for more than ten years. He has a clearer understanding than many people of how dirty the human heart is.

At the same time, he also knows when and how he should behave in order to obtain the greatest benefit for himself.

Now, if I thank Connor in front of others for mobilizing me back, I can only add a joke to everyone like a clown.

Then when problems arise, it will turn everyone into clowns. They will not feel how good they are, and will only increase their dissatisfaction with themselves.

He had to thank Connor privately for doing this, even though he knew that Connor didn't really want to avoid losing his reputation due to mobility problems and transferred him back because he simply didn't think his plan was feasible. A "loser" was transferred back.

As long as the Director-General insists that Connor foresees failure and then transfers him back, his gratitude and "show of loyalty" will earn Connor more praise.

Connor will also treat him more as one of his own.

"How do you think the success will be if we continue to attack forcefully?"

Lynch asked.

The director-general thought for a while and said, "At least 60% of the time, the fierce ideological struggle requires a process, and it does not complete the transformation all at once."

"People will have a hesitation process before they make up their mind to do it or not to do it."

"This process takes time because their choices are painful for themselves."

"Either you give up your goals, or you let your family, relatives and friends die with you. It's hard to make a decision right away."

"So as long as we are fast enough, what we are facing is just a group of terrorists with guns and hostages. The worst outcome is that they kill some of the hostages."

"But if we stop now, they will have enough time to mentally build up. If we want to deal with them again, it will be very difficult."

"To deal with these determined people, they won't give us much time and room for maneuver."

Lynch nodded while listening. In fact, he had the same view.

This kind of thing needs to be done all at once, but now the pace suddenly slows down. Once they complete their psychological construction, it will become very difficult.

The only thing that can be expected is that these action teams can find all the explosives as soon as possible and then dismantle them.

Otherwise, at dawn tomorrow, they will give the entire federation and even the entire world a huge surprise!

This is why the director-general is willing to come back and doesn't have any negative emotions yet.

If he was not allowed to bear the consequences of a stupid decision, it would be too late for him to be happy, so how could he feel bad?

Lynch raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "The results will be available before two o'clock..."

The gunfire in the Capitol suddenly fell silent, leaving some reporters and some people around them confused.

The director of the Operations Department of the Security Committee is instructing their negotiators to go up there to talk to the terrorists and find out how many enemies there are, where they are, and whether there are any fortifications.

The breach team suffered some casualties when they breached the first floor of the Capitol, and the terrorists used paper as "sandbags" to build some defenses.

The defensive power of these bunkers was much stronger than that of sandbags, which caused a lot of trouble for the assault team.

In order to prevent the negotiator from being killed, he will go up with the relatives of the three terrorists.

The Director of Operations felt that if they could be allowed to lay down their weapons and walk out to surrender without continuing the confrontation or exchange of fire, this might be the best outcome.

And he will also receive great glory and opportunities for promotion.

In fact, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that he can gain the friendship of the congressmen. After all, he saved the people.

Even if he didn't save it with his own hands, it was his planned action plan that saved him. He was the first to do it!

When the negotiator was about to go up, a team member suddenly ran over and told him the good news that a senator had been rescued.

The director of the operations department was stunned for a moment, and soon knew the reason.

The person who was rescued was Catherine, who was rescued in her office and left the Capitol by rope.

As soon as the fighting broke out, almost all the terrorists gathered on the third and fourth floors, and a large number of hostages were concentrated on these two floors.

In case they can't blow up the Capitol, there's still no problem in blowing up the hostages.

But being able to rescue her was a credit after all. While explaining the situation to the Presidential Palace, he arranged for someone to send Catherine to the Presidential Palace, where she was most suitable now.

The Capitol building has been sealed off, and the media cannot get first-hand information. In addition, the power supply has been cut off in large areas, and the live broadcast truck in the distance cannot play any role.

The only channel through which everyone can obtain first-hand information is the Press Office of the Presidential Palace, where they are all concentrated.

Letting Catherine show up is also "good" news. At least it lets people know that the federal government is not only rescuing hostages, but also making progress!

At 12:20, a negotiator led three hostages to the third floor.

This negotiator has very rich negotiation experience, and his success rate is among the best in the Security Council. He is also an excellent interrogation expert.

Before going to the third floor, the three hostages had received psychological counseling. Their job was to persuade their relatives to put down their weapons.

They are also willing to cooperate with this. After all... the people of the Federation attach great importance to the concept of family and relatives.

They may not easily show this in their daily behavior, and may even show the opposite at times.

But when they really need to do something for their families, they can stand up.

Finally, the negotiators met the officers in the stepped conference room.

He noticed that where the officer was sitting, there were two large travel bags with items that might be explosives stacked inside.

The light was a bit dim, and after cutting off the power to the area, the Capitol's backup emergency power was activated, allowing him to see less clearly.

Among the three people he brought up, there was the officer's sister.

He didn't speak. The first person to speak was the officer's sister.

"..., what happened to make everything become like this?"

She looked at her brother who looked very strange and a little distressed. The blood stains on the bandages on his hands were already black and looked a bit scary.

The officer looked at his sister, his expression changed very much, from shock, to anger, then slight uneasiness, then relief, and finally a smile.

As an interrogation expert, he is very sensitive to changes in expressions. Especially when people are caught off guard, changes in people's expressions will reflect a person's inner emotional fluctuations to the greatest extent.

Through the change of expression on the officer's face, he realized that the officer's "psychological construction" may have been completed!

Just like the real tough guys in the interrogation room, they also completed their psychological construction after struggling and being tortured...

But he didn't expect that the officer would change so quickly!

"You shouldn't have come up here!"

the officer said.
