Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

Chapter 538 The President is Angry

"Just last night, 5 carrier-based aircraft and 10 helicopters were lost in the hangar of our base. We have asked the soldiers on duty last night and they said they did not see these aircraft in the sky..." Get Mike At Millen's signal, Brandon told everyone what happened at the base, including the questions they asked the soldiers on duty last night before coming.

"What? How could so many planes be lost?"

"How is it possible? Such a big plane cannot be stolen quietly."

"Such a big thing. I didn't hear any movement last night. It's incredible."

......

As soon as Brandon said something about missing the plane, someone started talking quietly below. Until Brandon finished speaking, the discussion in the conference room was as noisy as in a vegetable market.

Everyone here knows the security level of this base. It is difficult to imagine who has such great ability to steal so many aircraft without alerting the soldiers on duty.

Looking at the discussion below, Brandon didn't know what to do. After all, he was just the person in charge of managing the hangar, and he was not on the same level as these navy bosses.

McMillan waved his hand and motioned for Brandon to go down and find a place to sit down first.

As if he had been granted amnesty, Brandon came to the back of the conference room and found an empty seat to sit down.

MacMillan did not interrupt the discussion of the people below. His eyes were now scanning the performance of everyone below like a hawk, especially the big bosses in the front row who held real power.

He is basically certain that this matter was done by an insider. He is now looking for that insider. These big bosses with real power are the most suspicious people.

But no matter how MacMillan looked, he didn't see anything strange in the expressions of the people below. Everyone behaved the same.

'Cough cough cough~'

After watching for a while and not noticing anything unusual, MacMillan cleared his throat, and the noise below that was just like a vegetable market suddenly fell silent.

"Everyone knows the matter. If there is anyone who knows the inside story, I hope you will not hide it. I believe you all know the seriousness of the matter. If it is not convenient for you to tell me in front of everyone, you can talk to me in private after the meeting. Okay, Now whoever wants to say something can just say it..." When everyone was quiet, Macmillan didn't waste any words and directly asked if anyone knew the inside story.

I was worried that insiders would be too afraid to tell, so I gave another way to keep it more private.

There is no need for Macmillan to explain the seriousness of this matter. Everyone knows that if it is not handled well, most of the people sitting here will have to go to military court.

Although everyone wanted to find the whereabouts of the plane, they didn't know anything.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one speak, Macmillan said: "Since everyone has nothing to say, let's break up the meeting first. Again, I hope that people who know the inside story can come to me and explain it clearly, otherwise everyone will just wait. Let's go to the military court together. The base is temporarily sealed. No one can leave without my order..."

After Macmillan finished speaking, he stood up and left the conference room directly, returning to the headquarters office.

Now we can only hope that someone with knowledge will come forward to report the situation, but before Macmillan could sit down, the phone on the table rang.

"Hello, I'm MacMillan." Someone who can call his office directly is definitely not an ordinary person. MacMillan directly picked up the phone.

"McMillan, what happened? How did the aircraft parked in the hangar disappear? Do you, the commander of the naval base, no longer want to do it? I only give you one day to recover the five lost aircraft. The carrier aircraft and 5 helicopters were retrieved..." The other party was not polite, and a series of outputs poured out.

"Mr. President, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well." Although the other party did not identify himself, but hearing the other party's tone, Macmillan knew that the other party was the current President of the United States.

"Remember, you only have one day, otherwise you will have to wait for the military court..."

Mr. President is now very angry. He happily came to the Black Palace this morning. Before noon, the director of the CIA came to his office and reported to him an incredible news.

As the head of intelligence in the United States, he was very suspicious of the incident at the naval base. However, his subordinates repeatedly confirmed the authenticity and knew the seriousness of the matter. The director of the Intelligence Bureau came directly to the Black Palace to report the matter to the President.

This is the scene where the President calls Commander Macmillan.

"Maxwell, what do you think about this?" Mr. President hung up the phone and looked at the Director of Intelligence who had been standing quietly and asked.

"I have already asked our people about this matter. There was nothing strange at the naval base last night. It should be confirmed that it was an insider's work." As the intelligence chief, Maxwell had learned about it from the agents below before he came. The specific circumstances of the matter.

According to the intelligence he has collected for many years, 90% of this matter was done by insiders. Without internal cooperation, no organization would have such powerful means.

This is not just a matter of throwing away a few guns. Carrier-based aircraft and helicopters are all big things, and they cannot be transported away from such a large naval base without alerting anyone.

"You also go and investigate. As long as there is any suspicion, all will be monitored. You are getting bolder and bolder. In the past, everyone knew very well about reselling a few small arms, but now you actually dare to target carrier-based aircraft and helicopters." Mr. President was very happy. Anger, uncontrollable anger, there was such serious corruption in the army, it was simply a shame for the American army.

"Yes, I'll go now." Maxwell admired the courage of the person who did this. After working in intelligence work for so many years, there are really few people with such courage.

......

In the military camp on the outskirts of Big Apple City, Lieutenant Colonel Donald and Colonel Lewis broke up on bad terms. Both of them felt that the other party was responsible for what happened to the arsenal, and never thought that it was the work of an outsider.

In fact, it's not their fault. After all, what was lost was not just a few guns, but tanks, armored transport vehicles, and even self-propelled cannons. It was impossible for anyone to take these things away without alerting the soldiers in the military camp.

Only insiders have this ability, but neither of them admits that they did it.

Donald returned to his room, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. If the higher-ups held him accountable, he, the officer in charge of the arsenal, would definitely be the first person responsible.

There are elders and younger children at home, and he doesn't want to go to a military court. With an overwhelming desire to survive, he was thinking frantically about how to remove himself.
