Chapter 60 Chapter Fifty-eight Seeing the Dawn Again

That was nothing to celebrate, but the next day new Ebola patients did drop; and of the new cases, about a third tested positive for antibodies.The US Centers for Disease Control and the Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases reported to the White House after carefully examining all the data, and reminded the White House that these data are only preliminary results and cannot be released to the public, otherwise the travel ban will lose its binding force. The FBI's Laboratory Division is still conducting assays on the Big Foot nursery case.The test was made more difficult by the fact that the air at the time of the crime was full of spring pollen.

It is now well established that Azir is a ghostly figure who appears to appear for a purpose only to disappear when that purpose has been fulfilled.But he has left a picture, and there will be a way to settle the matter.Ren wondered if there would be any good news before the end of the day. Hi Dan.He returns to his office.The situation only reminded him once again that his next big order would be to send troops into battle. Mr President.The FBI director walks in with O'Day and Andrea. What are you so happy about? Then they told him. Waking Da Yelan before dawn was a desperate act, as his men were afraid of his temper, so it took them two hours to muster up the courage to do so.At four o'clock in the morning, the phone beside Da Yelan's bed rang.Ten minutes later he appeared in the drawing room of his private apartment, deep black eyes waiting to punish those who took the lead.

We have reports that American ships have entered the Persian Gulf.The intelligence chief told him. What time and place?Dayelan asked calmly. There in the Strait after midnight.Our missile speedboat spotted an American destroyer, and the local naval commander ordered the boat to attack, but the boat was lost. that's it?That's why you woke me up? There were several explosions mentioned on the radios of the ships in the area, and our speedboat appeared to have been destroyed, possibly by an airplane but where was the airplane? We would like you to order an air operation to sweep the Persian Gulf before dawn.Air Commander asked.

I agree with your request.Dayelan told them, is there anything else? Allah Corps is advancing towards the border, and the operation is proceeding as planned.The head of intelligence and governance thought that this news would make him happy. Da Yelan nodded.He had hoped to get a good night's sleep in preparation for the long sleepless days ahead, but he couldn't get back to sleep once he was woken up.He looked at the clock on the desk and decided to start his day's work with that. Are we going to surprise them? That's right.The intelligence chief replied that the military was now on strict radio silence.No matter how sensitive the US listening posts are, they cannot hear any movement.They'll find us when they get to Al Baisayer, but by then we'll be ready to attack.

Da Yelan shook her head.Wait, what did our patrol boat find? Spot an American destroyer or frigate, that's all.We'll be sending a plane up to search in two hours. What about their transport ships? we do not know.The intelligence chief admitted he had hoped to avoid talking about it. go find it! The two took orders to leave.Da Yelan asked his guards to serve tea, and after that, he had a new idea.When this guy Raman is done, everything will settle down.Reports say he's in place now, and has orders; why didn't he carry out the orders!The more Da Yelan thought about it, the more she became angry.He looked at the clock again. It was too early to call.

Gamble's crew took a short break and are now recovering from the incident with the patrol boat.At this time, there were still two hours before dawn at sea, and they were exactly less than a hundred miles away from Qatar.The Comedy Task Force has passed a tense moment, and the bay here is much wider, which is conducive to the operation of the Anzio.The radar showed four enemy F|16 fighter jets twenty miles to the north. They had to be careful.It would have been nice to have an AWACS in the sky, but he had just learned an hour earlier that all the AWACS had been deployed to the north.There will be a battle there today, but that's not the specialty of the Aegis ships.

He ordered the camouflage ships to sail south, and their mission was accomplished.When the sun came up, he thought, there would be no need to hide the whereabouts of the Comedy Task Force. How sure are you?The President asked, Oh my God, I've been alone with this guy a hundred times! We know, Price told the president, it's unbelievable.I've been learning about Jeff He's a basketball fan, and he'll tell me which team is going to win without a turnover. Yes, sir.Andre had to admit it too, unfortunately, it was a little difficult to explain. Are you going to arrest him? we can not.Murray went on to say, because we don't have proof, but O'Day has an idea.

Then speak out and listen.Ryan ordered.His head ached again, that someone he and his family trusted could be an assassin.Is it really endless? Actually, it's very simple.O'Day concluded. No!Price immediately said, in case We can control it, there is no real danger.O'Day assured everyone. Wait a minute, said the President, you said you could lure that guy out? Yes, sir. And I should do my best, not just sit here and watch a good show? Yes, sir.O'Day repeated. Where should I report?Ren asked jokingly, that's all. Mr President Andrea, you'll be there too, won't you?

yes, but Then follow the plan.The president told her he couldn't get close to my family, and I mean it.If he glances at the elevator, you grab him yourself, Andrea, understand? I see, Mr. President. They then went downstairs and into the situation room, where Van Damme and the rest of the national security team were looking at a map on a big screen. That day, two old Iranian F|14 Tomcat fighter jets took off, and the pilot was piloting the plane, while the co-pilot scanned the sea with binoculars.The sun was clearly visible at an altitude of two thousand feet, but the sea was still in pre-dawn darkness.

They were the first to spot the camouflage ship, about forty miles away.A minute later, they discovered the Comedy Task Force. The ship could not unambiguously identify the aircraft, and Gamble could not risk destroying an airliner.Four F|Sixteens were rushing towards them when the radio signal came out, and no one on board could understand Iranian. Call, cried the flight captain of F|Sixteen, who looked like F|Fourteen.He knew that the navies around him didn't have such planes. The Anzio orders the starfighters, shoot them down. receive. The United Islamic Republic's Tomcat fighter jets are focused on their mission.At this moment, their radar sirens were showing all emitters, and the pilot of the plane was trying to count the battleships below and radioed.Suddenly, two newer medium-range air-to-air missiles exploded head-on in front of his old fighter.The second driver looked up just in time to see the Grim Reaper coming.

Anzio, I'm a starfighter, two shot down, no one parachute, repeat, two shot down. receive. What a great start.A U.S. Air Force major said he had just spent 16 months conducting exercises with the Israeli Air Force.Return to base.complete. I don't think so.Van Damme said.Radar images were sent to Washington via satellite, and they saw the whole thing less than half a second after it happened. There's no way out for those ships, sir.We can't take that risk, Jackson told the chief of staff. But they'll say we fired first, and Wrong, sir, it was their missile patrol boat that fired first five hours ago.The Chief of Operations reminded him. But they won't admit it. All right, Arnie.Ren said, this is my order, remember, there is nothing wrong with the principle of engagement.What's next, Robbie? It depends on whether the Iranians want to order.Jackson said. At its narrowest point, the strait is between Qatar and the Iranian town of Basatin, and is only 100 miles wide.There is an air force base in Basat Pavilion, and satellite detection has detected fighter jets parked on the tarmac there. Hi Raman. Andrea, what's the matter?Raman asked, adding, I'm glad you remembered I was left here. We're so busy; we need you back.Do you have a car? I think I can steal one from the local office.In fact, he already has an official car. Well, she told him, come back quickly then, I don't think we need to do advance work there.Your identification card allows you to travel freely on the highway.The sooner the better, something is happening here. give me four hours. Do you have any clothes to change? Yes, why do you ask? You need to change clothes, and everyone has to change clothes before entering the West Wing.You'll understand when you arrive.The captain of the guard told him. I see. Allahad was no different.From the bugs the operators installed in his house, he was watching TV and kept switching the remote control, trying to find a movie he hadn't seen.He watched CNN's headlines before going to bed, but otherwise did nothing.The lights were all out, and the observation camera could see nothing through the drawn windows.The operator in charge of monitoring continued to observe while drinking coffee, and at the same time talked about the fear of infectious diseases. Now almost all media reports revolve around this incident. Secretary Adler got on the plane again and headed west to China.During the flight and at the embassy in Beijing, he got the latest news.This time it was Zhang Hansan who was playing tricks, which made Adler very angry, and India was once again involved because of the temptation of Iran and China.The real question is whether India's prime minister will let her partners know she has reneged.Adler thought maybe not, she seemed to be able to handle it just fine. Adler still feels angry from time to time.His country had been attacked, and by someone he had met only a few days earlier.Diplomacy had failed, and he had failed to prevent this conflict, and worse, he and his country had been duped.China has self-directed and staged a crisis and lied to itself that it is a victim. Their purpose may not only be to harm the interests of the United States, but to rule the world.They are very smart, and they don't participate too much directly, but let other countries take the lead and take risks.Regardless of the outcome, they will still be able to trade as usual, maintain their reputation as a superpower and influence US policy, and they can maintain all favorable status quo until they are able to turn things around.It was they who killed the Americans on the plane, and it was their tricks that caused real and permanent damage to the United States.China does its worst, the Secretary of State thought quietly, staring out the window as his plane landed. But they don't know he's learned about these things, do they? The attacks that followed became more intense.Intelligence indicates that the United Islamic Republic possesses a large number of Chinese-made C|802 missiles with a range of seventy miles.This time, however, it was also a matter of aiming; with so many ships in the Persian Gulf, the Iranian fighter jets had to be in close proximity for the missiles to be accurately aimed at Task Force Comedy. Well, thought Gamble, let them see.The Jones accelerated to thirty-two knots and headed north.This new destroyer is stealthy on radar it looks like a medium sized fishing boat to highlight the stealth ability, he turned off all the radars.They've discovered Comedy Task Force, now let them look at something else.He has contacted Riyadh to request airborne early warning aircraft support.The three cruisers Anzio, Normandy, and Yorktown kept a similar distance to the cargo ship, and it was already clear to the civilian crews that these battleships would do more than passively defend against missiles. The F｜16 patrol planes in the air have been in rotation, their weapons are ready, and a warning has been issued to civilian traffic. The sky above the Persian Gulf is already a dangerous zone.This will make the task a lot easier, they are no longer a secret here.The Iranian radar must have picked it up, but it was of no avail at the moment. There appeared to be two naval units in the Gulf, and the intelligence chief told him we were not sure of their composition, but they were probably military transports. Is there any more? Our two fighters approaching them had been shot down.The commander of the Air Force continued. Some of the American ships are very modern warships.Our aircraft reported other ships, which appeared to be merchant ships.Possibly a tank transport from Diego Garcia India should block them! yes. How stupid would I be to trust that woman!Sink them all!he ordered, thinking that his wish was about to come true. Obviously, they are still in the stage of strategizing, Gamble thought, and they can take it easy in the Persian Gulf War, but not this time.When he asked for airborne early warning aircraft support, the air force guy replied: What, you don't have any?Why didn't you say it earlier?The Anzio and the commander of the task force did not lose their temper with him, because it was not his fault after all.All in all, the good news is that they now finally have an AWACS, and it's just in time.Four fighter jets of unknown type had just finished their shift at Bassah Pavilion, ninety miles away. Comedy, this is Blue Sky Two, we found four planes intruding.The connection screen appears on the screen of the Aegis-class ship.His own radar couldn't detect that far because it was below sea level.The AWACS showed two paired blips. Blue sky, I'm comedy, they're yours, shoot 'em down. receive.After a while, four more were found. This is where it gets interesting, Jackson told them in the situation room that Gamble had set up a missile trap on the outside of the main force.If a plane survived an attack by an F|Sixteen, it was in for a treat. A minute later, a third batch of four planes took off.Twelve fighters climbed to an altitude of 10,000 feet and then headed south at high speed. The F|Sixteen Fighter Team did not dare to venture too far from the Comedy Task Force, but could go under the guidance of the AWACS to deal with the threat in the middle of the Persian Gulf.Both sides turned on their target-indicating radars, the United Islamic Republic aircraft radars controlled from land bases, and the U.S. Air Force squad guided by E|Triple B Sentinel AWACS hovering a hundred miles behind them. The F|Sixteen fighter jets fired long-range missiles first, while the Iranian interceptors flying south broke up to try to avoid the attack.Then, the first four planes swooped down to the sea.Their jamming equipment continued to operate with the powerful assistance of land-based jamming, which was unexpected by the Americans.The three UIM fighters were still approaching and began firing missile salvos, which the U.S. forces avoided before returning to re-engage.The American formation, divided into two-plane squads, sprinted eastward, then turned around and attacked in an anvil shape.But the back and forth was extremely fast, and one Iranian plane was within fifty miles of the task force.At this point their tracks began to show up on the Anzio's radar. Captain, the officer in charge of electronic combat support said into the microphone that there was a radar signal, bearing three|five|five.Sir, they may attack us. very good.Gamble turned the key in his hand, and the three ships changed at the same time.Yorktown was an older cruiser, and four white Standard II medium-range missiles were pushed out of the bays at each end of the ship and into launch orbits.Although the Yorktown and Normandy looked unchanged on the surface, their missiles were also located in the vertical launch pads.The radar was now pumping out six megawatts of RF power, aimed at the incoming fighter-bombers, who were just out of range of the cruiser. But they did not go beyond the range of Jones, which was ten miles north of the main force.Three seconds later, its main radar became actively active, and then eight missiles shot straight into the sky, drawing a series of pyrotechnic columns, and then changed direction and rushed north. The fighter jets did not spot the invisible Jones, nor did they notice that a fourth radar was tracking them.When the pilot looked up from the radar screen, he saw a disturbing burst of white smoke, two of which fired six C|802 anti-ship missiles in time. vampire!vampire!The missile strikes, bearing three|five|○. OK, let's get started.Gamble turned the key again to activate the special device. The Aegis-class Anzio was already in a fully automatic state, and the Gatling machine gun of the close-in weapon system was turned to starboard.The sailors of the four warships heard the movement and tried not to flinch, while the merchant mariners they were defending did not yet know to be afraid. The four F｜Sixteens in the air still maintained their intact formation.Four Air Force F|Sixteens shot down six enemy fighters in four minutes. The Jones spotted the missiles skimming the sea at high speed, but the radar did not lock on to them, so it could not accurately hit them.Three of four automatic shots missed, leaving five.The destroyer's combat system re-finds the remaining targets. In the Operations Center on the Anzio, Gamble decided, like the Obernen, not to fire the decoy rockets.Since the three incoming missiles appeared to be aimed at the main body and only two aimed at the front, his cruiser and the Normandy could only concentrate on those missiles.When the first two missiles were launched, the hull could be felt shaking.The radar screen changes every second, showing the tracks of incoming and outgoing missiles.The vampire was eight miles away now, at ten miles a minute; and although the firefight was imminent in fifty seconds, it seemed as long as a week. The system is currently set up for a shoot|shoot|observe fire control pattern to fire one, then another, then watch to see if the target has been eliminated before making a third shot.The first Standard II medium-range missile hit the target, and the second self-destructed.The Normandy's first missile missed, but the second hit C|802 just right.A second later, the entire ship could feel the power of the explosion before it fell into the sea. Yorktown has both advantages and disadvantages.Its older system can shoot incoming missiles directly instead of forcing them to turn mid-flight before rendezvous, but it cannot fire rapidly.It now has three targets and has fifty seconds to destroy them.The first C|802 was shot down five miles away, and the second is now at its ultimate height of three meters above the sea.The next medium-range missile to hit exploded behind it due to its high altitude.As for the next missile, it also missed its target and was eliminated by the front launcher from three miles away. The fragments scattered and interfered with the next two missiles, causing them to explode in the debris wreckage.The cruiser's two launchers rotated the mounts to reload the next batch of four Standard II medium-range missiles vertically downward.The last C|802 cut through the spray and debris and headed straight for the cruiser.Yorktown fired two more missiles, but both failed.Once the vampires were within range of their target, the close-in weapon system spun slightly, firing from a range of eight hundred yards, but missed the target, and finally detonated the missile within two hundred yards of the starboard side. C | 802 Five hundred-pound warhead fragments scattered around the cruiser, partially hitting the cruiser's forward right radar panel and crashing into the superstructure, killing six sailors and injuring more than two dozen. Wow!Defense Minister Britannon Road.All the theories he had learned over the past two weeks suddenly appeared before his eyes. not bad.They sent fourteen planes to attack us, but only two or three came back, and Robert said they'd have to think about it next time. How is Yorktown?the president asked. You'll have to wait to find out. Their hotel was half a mile from the Russian embassy, ​​and like good frugal journalists, they decided to walk.It was nearly eight o'clock, and Clark and Chavez hadn't walked a hundred yards before they noticed something strange: it was early in the morning, and people were listless.Has war been declared on Saudi Arabia?John turned and walked up another market street, where he found people putting their business aside and listening to portable radios. Excuse me, John asked in the local language with a Russian accent, what happened? We are at war with America.said a fruit vendor. oh when did it start The radio said they had attacked our plane.The fruit vendor then asked, who are you? John took out his passport.We are Russian journalists, can you share your views on this matter? Do you think we haven't played enough?the man asked. Said earlier, they will blame us.As Van Damme spoke, he looked at the interception report on Radio Tehran.How will this affect the politics of the region? The barriers are now clear.Countries are either on our side or on their side, Foley said.This is easier than last time. The President checked his watch. It was just past midnight.when do i get on the plane noon. Raman had to stop on the Maryland-Pennsylvania border.More than 20 trucks were waiting to be inspected by the Maryland State Police, and the National Guard was also closely assisting them. They lined up in twos and completely blocked this section of the road.He waited angrily for ten minutes before showing his identification card.The policeman waved him through without saying a word, and Rahman switched on the lights again and sped off.He turned on the radio and tuned to the news network, but missed the headlines and had to listen to all the news patiently.It was not until 23 o'clock that the news reported the air battle in the Persian Gulf.Neither the White House nor the Pentagon commented, while Iran said it had sunk two U.S. ships and shot down four fighter jets. Raman was a patriotic fanatic, so he couldn't believe it.America, a disorganized, fetishized, misguided problem country, is abusing its power, and that's why he's here.Even President Rennes has indescribable power over him.He didn't growl, he didn't growl, like most great men.He didn't know how many people knew how dangerous Ren was, but that was why he wanted to kill him, and if it cost his life, so be it. The task force proceeded safely southward behind the Qatar peninsula.Yorktown's forward superstructure was badly damaged, with electrical fires and missiles causing double damage, but since her stern was facing the enemy, it caused no major problems.Gamble mobilized his frigates again so that all four frigates were behind the tank carrier, but there was no second attack.The first engagement has severely damaged the enemy.Eight F|Fifteen fighters circled the fleet.A mixed formation of Saudi and other frigates also emerged.Mine hunters scoured the sea floor ahead of the task force, looking for danger, but found nothing.The four Aegis-class ships dropped their bow and stern anchors and moored not far away so that they could get air defense cover throughout the unloading process.The camouflaged ship also sailed into Bahrain to wait for dispatch because it did not suffer any damage. Captain Gamble watched from the wheelhouse of the Anzio as the first carts rolled aboard the tank transport.Through the binoculars he could see uniformed soldiers walking briskly to the side of the boat, looking at the gangway as the stern descended to meet them. We have no comment at this time.Van Damme told reporters who had just called that the president would make a statement later in the day.That's all I can say now. but That's all we can reveal at the moment.The chief of staff hung up the phone. Price summoned all guard operators in the West Wing, and detailed the upcoming action plan.She would also repeat it to the White House staff, where the reaction must have been the same: shock, disbelief, bordering on fury. Let's get him out, we all know what to do.This is a criminal case, and we treat it like a criminal case.Don't get out of hand, and don't give it away.Do you have any other questions?There is no problem. Da Yelan looked at her watch again, it was time.He made a call to the embassy of the United Islamic Republic in Paris, and the ambassador there called someone.The man made another phone call to London.All the conversation is irrelevant, but the message is. The ringing of the phone made the two operators startle.They looked at their watches, and the incoming phone number would appear on the electronic display.It's a foreign call, area code 44, and it's from England. Hello?This was the voice of their listening target, Allahad. Sorry to bother you so early.Has the red Isfahan rug I asked for arrived?My customers are in a hurry.The voice has an accent, but not very aptly. Not yet, replied a baffled voice, I've asked my supplier. Oh, but my customer is very anxious. I will find a way.goodbye.The phone hangs up. Downey took out his mobile phone, dialed the headquarters, and asked them to check the British phone number immediately. The light just came on.Operator Scott said.It looks like our target is awake and needs to be alert.She was facing the radio channel, and the target was already up and moving. I see the light, Sylvia.Another operator replied. Five minutes later, he appeared at the front door of the garden apartment.It was not an easy task to track him down, but the operators worked hard to find out the four nearest public phone booths and sent people to guard them nearby.As a result, he picked up the phone next to the gas station.The computer screen would show the phone number he was calling, and through the long-lens camera it could be seen that he had dropped a quarter into it.The operator saw through the camera that he pressed 3|6|3, and a few seconds later, another tapped phone rang, which was the voice of an electronic answering machine. Mr. Sloan, this is Allahad.Your rug has arrived and I don't know why you didn't call me.With a click, the phone hung up. bingo!Another operator yelled over the radio, found it, and he dialed Raman's number.Mr. Sloan, we have received your rug. Another voice cut in.I'm O'Day, take him down now! It's not difficult.Allahad went into the store and bought a bottle of milk, then walked straight home.He took out his key, opened the door, entered his apartment, and was surprised to find a man and a woman inside. FBI.said the man. You are under arrest, Mr. Allahad.The woman handcuffed him.Although he didn't see the gun, he still didn't resist. If he resisted, there were two operators outside the door. Why arrest me? Plotting to assassinate the President of the United States.Sylvia said, pushing him against the wall. I don't! Mr. Allahad, you have made a mistake.Sloan died last year, how do you sell a rug to a dead man?she asked.The man jolted as if he had been shocked by electricity, which is the normal reaction of wise people when they realize that they have made a mistake.They never thought they would be caught in an Internet cafe. Raman drove into the White House, and he watched with satisfaction that the beautiful morning was just right for him to carry out the task.The uniformed guard at the gate waved him as the security barricade was lowered.Another car came in after him and pulled up near his car.Rahman recognized the FBI guy O'Day. hi, how are you?the guy asked kindly. I just got back from Pittsburgh.Raman took the small suitcase from his trunk. What are you doing there? For advance work but I don't think that speech will be held.And you?Raman appreciated the distraction at this point, which would bring him more into the situation. The chief and I have something to report to the boss.You have to shower first though. take a bath? Sanitize you were not there then.A White House employee is infected, and now everyone has to shower and sanitize before going in.bring it on.O'Day said, took the briefcase, and the two walked towards the west gate together.The buzzing of the metal detectors indicated that both men had guns, but that didn't matter because both were sworn federal officers.O'Day pointed to the left with his finger. It's sort of a treat, and it's a feast for the eyes.He joked to Raman. How long has it been?Raman saw that both offices had been remodeled, marked male and female respectively.Andre came out just in time, and he noticed that her hair was still wet and smelled like potions. Hi Jeff, driving is hard work, isn't it?How is our O'Day hero doing?she asked. It's no big deal, just busy with one head and two big ones.O'Day grinned, walked into the men's room, and put down the briefcase. Raman noticed that the house had clearly been hastily remodeled, so there were still shadows of the previous office, except that all the furniture was gone, the floor was covered with plastic sheeting, and there was a coat rack outside.O'Day undressed and went into the shower stall. Those damn potions will at least keep you awake.O'Day opened the waterway.He came out two minutes later and started scrubbing himself vigorously.It's your turn, Raman. All right.Raman undressed.O'Day didn't look at him, but concentrated on wiping his body.He didn't move until Raman walked into the stall.Raman's pistol was on the hanger.O'Day took the opportunity to open the briefcase first, then took out Raman's automatic pistol, ejected the magazine, and took out the bullets lightly. How are you doing along the way?O'Day asked. Unimpeded, great, damn it, the water stinks! is not that right!O'Day looked at the two spare magazines left by Raman.He pocketed all three, replaced it with a new, fully loaded magazine, and put two more in Rahman's belt pad.When he was done, he raised the gun with the same weight and balance as before.After everything was back where it was, O'Day came back and started getting dressed. Here.O'Day threw a towel as he put on his shirt. Fortunately, I have a change of clothes.Raman pulled out new underwear and socks from his small suitcase. You have to be smart to work with the president, right?O'Day bent down to tie his shoelaces, then looked up, good morning, Chief. I don't know why it bothers me at home.Murray complained, Pat, is the report ready? Yes sir, here it is. Murray took off his coat and tie.Good morning, Raman. The two operators finished their clothes, touched the pistols, and walked out. Murray and I will come in right away.Pat told another operator in the hallway.Murray didn't keep them waiting long, and Price showed up when he came out.O'Day rubbed her nose and told her that the matter was done, she nodded. Jeff, can you bring these gentlemen into the office?I have to go to the command post, the boss is waiting. Of course you can, Andrea.This way, please.Raman walked ahead of O'Day.Price waited for a while behind them, but did not walk towards the command post. Upstairs, the president's office is being equipped with photographic equipment.Van Dam came out in a hurry, followed by Carly.Weston.President Ryan was sitting at his desk in simple clothes, looking at documents.CIA Director Foley was there too. Dan, are you having a good shower?asked the CIA director. Oh yeah, I lost quite a bit of what was left of me. Hi Jeff.The president looked up in greeting. Good morning, Mr. President.Raman said, standing by the wall as usual. Okay, Dan, is there anything you want to report to me?Ryan asked. We busted an Iranian espionage ring, probably related to the little bunker.As Murray spoke, O'Day opened his briefcase and produced a folder. The English made the connection, Foley began, and the man who connected was Allahad, and the goddam was doing business a mile from here. We're spying on him now, and Murray cuts in, listening to his phone. They all looked down at the documents on the table, not noticing that Raman's face was stiff.His mind was spinning fast, as if a shot of stimulant had been injected into his blood.They don't notice now that he might have a slim chance, but if not, the president, the FBI, and the CIA director are all here, and he can take them all to God Raman unties with his left hand Coat buttons.He shifted his position, closed his eyes and prayed quickly.Then, quickly and neatly, he drew the pistol with his right hand. Raman was surprised to see the president's eyes change direction and stare straight at him.He should have known his own death was coming, and his only regret was that he might never know why. Wren flinched subconsciously when he saw the gun, ducked despite knowing what was going to happen, and despite O'Day's gesture that everything was all right, he didn't know who else he could really trust.He saw Aref.Raman pointed a gun at him like a robot, pulled the trigger, eyes staring For reasons unknown, the sound made everyone jump. boom! Just like that, Raman opened his mouth in disbelief, the pistol was loaded, he could feel the weight, and Put the gun down!O'Day said calmly, and now he had drawn his gun and pointed it at him.Moments later, Murray drew his gun as well. We have already arrested Allahad.the chief explained. Rahman also had a telescoping baton, but the president was fifteen feet away, and If you dare move, I'll punch your knees.O'Day said grimly. You loathsome traitor!Andre said, walking in with her pistol in hand too.Nasty assassin!Get down! Take it easy, Price, he didn't make it.Pat told her. However, Rennes almost lost control.My precious little girl, did you help plan her assassination?He circled the table and Foley stopped him.Don't stop me this time, Edward! don't go!Edward told him we've got him, Jack. You figure it out, get down on the ground.Aim for Raman's knee, Pat said, or drop the weapon and get down. He's shaking now.Except for the fact that what he expected didn't happen, fear and rage all attacked him.He pulled the trigger again, not even aiming, just a motion of denial. I can't use empty magazines or they won't weigh the same.奧戴解釋道，它們是真子彈。我只是敲掉彈頭，倒出火藥，所以只會發出小小一聲砰的聲音。 他大約有一分鐘的時間忘記了呼吸，然後身體不自覺地癱了下去，跪在地板上，手槍掉到印有總統印章的地毯上。普萊斯走了過來，將他推到一邊。摩瑞多年來第一次幫人戴上了手銬。 要聽聽你擁有的權利嗎？聯邦調查局局長問道。
