The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 134 The tricked Lake
"what?"

"This is impossible!"

When the secret service chief heard these words, before Lake's voice disappeared, he directly charged the case.

Good guy.

This is to grab power.

Although after the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service system was also incorporated into the Department of Homeland Security, but like the incorporated federal law enforcement training center, it belongs to Homeland Security in name, but in fact, it is the same as Erlangshen. , belongs to the kind that listens to the tune but not to the announcement.

wrong.

The Secret Service is even worse.

Relying on the fact that my office is in the White Palace, so, just like, I name the Department of Homeland Security, but in fact it's just a name on it.

now.

The minister of the Department of Homeland Security and the director of operations directly reported to Mr. President in front of the chief of his secret service. The consciousness is the same. There are ghosts in the mission. served.

Can this be tolerated?
After losing the function of investigation, what function does the Secret Service have, and it really becomes the president's bodyguard?

The Secret Service Director looked directly at Mr. President: "Mr. President, this is the one-sided statement of Director Edwin. Regarding the investigation of the mission this time, we and Langley have conducted investigations no less than ten times."

Lake looked at the Secret Service Director: "Ten times, you still haven't checked out the ghost inside."

"That's because there are no ghosts in it."

The secret service chief said to Lake in a deep voice: "Since Director Edwin said that he got the information, then I can ask where Director Edwin got the information from."

Lake said, "Are you questioning me?"

"Yes."

"Are you qualified for this?"

"what?"

"I didn't hear clearly, I said, do you have the right to question me?"

"..."

Counseling has never been in Lake's character.

Just do it if you don't like it.

Moreover.

If Minister Kelly hadn't been promoted just now, then, in terms of position, the Secret Service Director is indeed qualified to question the informant of the New York State Department of Homeland Security Deputy Chief of Operations.

but……

Lake got promoted.

From the perspective of the Department of Homeland Security, the Minister is undoubtedly the largest, and then there are two Deputy Secretaries, Customs Commissioner, Immigration Director, Secret Service Director, Federal Training Master, Coast Guard Command Commander...

Ok.

Lake is still half a level short of Secret Service Director.

but……

Lake is affiliated to the headquarters of the Department of Homeland Security, and the Secret Service is a member of the franchise agency. It is the same for any agency. Those in the headquarters will be automatically promoted to half a level when they meet with the franchise agency.

and so.

The current secret service chief is really not qualified to question who Lake's informant is.

estimate.

This is probably the reason why Minister Kelly was just promoted on FireWire.

After all, Secretary Kelly and Lake have known each other for many years. Naturally, they know that Lake is more complicated. People who know the basics can turn a blind eye. If someone asks him to go, he will probably go to the federal prison. .

The secret service chief looked in disbelief: "I don't have the qualifications?"

Lake tilted his head to look: "Do you have any?"

Minister Kelly watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

The Minister of Defense is watching a show.

"okay."

Mr. President took the information about Kang in his hand on the table, and said to Lake and the Secret Service Director: "Gentlemen, pay attention to your identities."

The Secret Service Director was like an angry bull: "Mr. President, Director Edwin accused the Secret Service of having ghosts within the Secret Service based on a single piece of information from unknown sources. I cannot accept it."

Lake said lightly: "I'm helping you, idiot."

"you……"

"enough."

Mr. President once again resisted the secret service chief's urge to roll up his sleeves angrily, and looked at Lake: "Director Edwin, this is the White Palace. I heard him mention you when I was playing golf with Thaddeus. You are very capable. .”

Lake smiled and said, "Thank you."

Mr. President looked at the Secretary of Defense who was watching the play there: "Cory, what's your opinion?"

The Minister of Defense who was sitting on the chair looked up: "I am inclined to Major Edwin's opinion. Since there are hidden dangers, even if it is possible, they should be investigated."

One major sentence is enough to prove the attitude of the Minister of Defense.

Lake is from his military.

Although they are currently seconded to the Department of Homeland Security, they still belong to their military. Just like Captain America Steve Rogers, the military has a dedicated Rogers office, which is responsible for handling some of Rogers' commercial values.

The Secretary of Secret Service glanced at the Secretary of Defense who stood in line without hesitation, and then said to Mr. President: "Media reporters and news organizations have already been notified. If it is postponed or canceled at this time, there will be some bad impressions."

The purpose of the visit of the president of the ghost island country this time is to discuss matters related to the garrison on the island.

Because the scandals of the island country base have been pouring in these years, the opinions of the people of Guidao people on this garrison base like the overlord are increasing day by day, and the purpose of coming this time is just for show.

What if at this time the visit to Ghost Island Nation is suddenly canceled or delayed?
The residents of Ghost Island thought it was Chiguoguo's humiliation. No one is sure about what the people of Ghost Island will do, and it is also unpredictable.

When Ghost Island bombed Pearl Island back then, the federal president at the time thought about it for more than ten days, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of brain circuit the Ghost Island country used to think that they had the strength to fight against the Federation.

Lake looked at the Secret Service Director again: "Even if the attack happened on Pennsylvania Avenue, the consequences may not be as simple as the Secret Service Director taking the blame and resigning."

The Secret Service Director took a deep look at Lake: "Director Edwin is so sure about his intelligence, so sure that he thinks his intelligence source can surpass our Secret Service and Langley combined?"

Lake shrugged: "No, I'm just curious, if I have received such a piece of information, why didn't your Secret Service receive it? I thought about it, and there seems to be only one reason, that is, your Secret Service has ghosts."

talking.

Lake looked directly at the president: "Mr. President, I suggest suspending all duties of the Secret Service Director. I suspect that the Secret Service Director has surrendered to the enemy and treason."

Good guy.

The Secret Service chief just felt his blood pressure soar.

Minister Kelly coughed at this time, and said: "Mr. President, there is still half an hour, and the ghost island mission is about to leave. My suggestion is to find a reason to postpone it first, and let Director Edwin lead the team." Go to the embassy to check again."

The Secret Service Director was expressionless: "The embassy is the territory of other countries."

The Department of Homeland Security does not have any functions in the territory of other countries.

Lake smiled and said, "But, it's not outside the iron gate."

It is true that the inside of the embassy and consulate is the territory of another country, but outside the iron gate, it is the land of the Federation.

"Has Director Edwin forgotten that the car inside the embassy or consulate is also the territory of another country?"

"That's easy to solve."

Minister Kelly proposed aloud: "We can go to the president of the ghost island country, and the White Palace will send a special car to pick up the president of the ghost island country."

This is a treatment that the country of audience has never had before.

at this time.

The Vice President and Secretary of State also walked in from outside.

Mr. President asked these two people about their opinions just now.

The vice president and the secretary of state glanced at Lake, who was promoted to the director of operations. Although, Lake had dealt with them, the secretary of state was about Coulson, and the vice president was about the Winter Soldier.

But that is with personal emotions included, and this matter is official business.

The two thought for a while, and they still stood in the camp of Secretary Kelly, Lake, and the Secretary of Defense, and agreed to postpone.

but……

The delay should not be too long.

Mr. President thought for a while, looked at Lake and said, "You have an hour."

Lake nodded.

An hour is enough.

On the way here, Minister Lake and Kelly had already discussed it, and they most likely accepted the opinion. Therefore, there are already two teams of homeland agents on standby near the embassy and consulate of the Ghost Island country.

Out of the Oval Office.

Lake stopped, covered his stomach, and looked towards Minister Kelly who stopped and looked at him: "Sorry, my stomach hurts, I'll come as soon as I go."

talking.

Lake slid straight away and walked into the bathroom next to him.

close the door.

exhale.

Lake shook his head.

It is estimated that the restroom here is the most difficult to access in the entire Federation.

wrong.

Lake went to Area 51 to go to the bathroom first, but unfortunately, General Ross directly rejected Lake's 17-year-old New Year's wish.

So the toilets in Area 51 are the hardest to access.

The toilet in the White Palace is at most the second child.

Open the water storage lid of the toilet.

into the eye.

A USB flash drive dives under the water.

Grabbed.

According to Seve, I opened the casing of the USB flash drive and verified the authenticity.

Income storage space.

Lake turned on the water, and then, after pressing the flush button, walked out of the cubicle, washed his hands, and went out.

The task of betraying the Federation is completed.

next task.

Start the mission of defending the Federation.

only……

When Lake had just walked out of the white palace, footsteps came from behind him.

"Stop him."

"..."

Lake watched the two guards at the door draw their guns and looked at him, squinted his eyes, turned around, and looked expressionlessly at the Secret Service Director who brought the three Secret Service agents over.

Minister Kelly, who had already sat firmly in the back seat, also walked out of the car with some displeasure.

The secret service chief had a mysterious smile on his face: "Last month, a Langley intelligence analyst jumped off the car and committed suicide after leaving the White Palace. Does Director Edwin know about this?"

Lake chuckled: "Of course, after I knocked on the door of Minister Kelly's house at four o'clock, I also talked to Minister Kelly. Maybe it was because of this incident that Langley didn't notice it. What a ghost."

The secret service chief ignored Lake's taunt: "Director Edwin just had a stomachache and went to the bathroom?"

Lake said: "Why, the Secret Service Director still cares about whether my stomach hurts?"

The secret service chief shook his head, glanced at his three agents, and then smiled and said, "How can it be such a coincidence, Director Edwin just went to the bathroom, so if you leave it there, the USB flash drive specially used for fishing will disappear? Can Director Edwin explain it?"

Lake: "..."
