Reborn in Marvel: I am proficient in all kinds of American Iai
Chapter 251: Tacit Understanding with the Military (4-character chapter)
Current FBI Director Ernie Paxton briefly explained the situation to Luke.
It turns out the military's B2 stealth bomber crashed in a national park in southern Utah last night.
The whereabouts of the two B83 nuclear bombs on board are unknown.
"Wardfake? What do you mean missing?"
Paxton also sighed helplessly.
"The special forces sent by the Air Force have just discovered the wreckage of the plane and the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb, but they have lost contact."
"This was a premeditated incident. Who is so bold?"
"I'm not sure. You can try your relationship with the military and see if you can get some inside information."
Luke shook his head.
"The nature of those military guys is that they would be too busy covering up something like this, so why would they tell me?"
Paxton said something deep over there.
"The Special Accidents Office has this right. You can give priority to handling matters that cannot be explained."
When Paxton said this, Luke understood.
This is the benefit that Paxton gave him.
The situation is unclear now, and anything related to nuclear bombs is no small matter.
So the FBI can intervene. Once Luke finds out the truth, the military will have to cover up the news and eliminate the impact, so they must give Luke benefits.
In this way, Paxton also gained face in the White House and the Department of Justice, and his voice will be even more important in the future when something happens.
Luke agreed to Paxton's request and hung up the phone.
"Lilith, connect me to General Trautman."
"Okay, boss."
After the call was connected, General Trautman's slightly tired voice was heard from the other end.
"Luke? I'm busy. Tell me what you want to say."
"General, did Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada drop two nuclear bombs on the stealth bomber that crashed in Utah?"
The old general was silent for a while on the other end of the phone and then said:
"We are preparing to hold a meeting to discuss this matter. Since the FBI is involved, you must do a good job for me. I will speak for you at the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting."
"Thank you, General. I'll do the job. Don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Luke informed Murdoch on the communicator.
"Murdoch, turn to the national parks in southern Utah."
"Got it, boss."
"Lilith, connect me to General Ross at Nellis Air Force Base."
"Okay, boss."
Nellis Air Force Base is the largest air force base in the United States and one of the five major combat command centers of the United States Air Force.
It has a mysterious area, the famous "Area 51".
This is often the deployment and testing site for the US military's most advanced fighter jets.
In addition, there are a large number of bunkers and weapons storage depots, and it is also the largest strategic reserve center on the West Coast.
"Luke?"
"General, I have been asked by FBI Director Ernie Paxton to investigate the disappearance of two B83 nuclear bombs from a stealth fighter that crashed in a Utah national park last night."
General Ross was silent for a while and said:
"I asked my men to pass the latest coordinates to you. My air rescue team has lost contact. Be careful. Tell me if you need anything. Nellis Air Force Base will provide you with close air support."
"Thank you, General. Don't worry, this matter will not be recorded within the FBI."
It's easy to talk to smart people.
Both of them knew that this was a mess caused by the military, but in the end Luke would help them make things right.
In the end, no one will be in trouble. Everyone will get the benefits they deserve and it is a win-win situation.
(In history, the U.S. military did lose a nuclear bomb... The code name Broken Sword means that the U.S. military lost a nuclear bomb.)
"Lilith, contact the North American Air Force Operations Command Center. They will send us the left side of the crashed plane."
"Boss, no need. Our satellites have already found the crash site."
"Good job, give the coordinates to Murdoch and have our drone turn there as well."
"Okay, boss."
Next, Luke called all the team members together.
"Guys, temporary mission."
After Luke briefly briefed the team members on the situation, it was time for him to do his analysis.
"This stealth fighter is very expensive, and it is almost impossible for it to crash due to mechanical failure."
"So, it must be the pilot or the mechanic who has the problem, but I think it's more likely to be the pilot."
"The other two nuclear bombs couldn't have just disappeared. Someone must have deployed them in advance."
"Now that they are classified as terrorists, we don't need to take prisoners, we just need to recapture the nuclear bomb."
No one in the team had any objection, except Johnny who was confused.
"Boss, you guys are still dealing with nuclear bombs?"
Luke smiled and nodded.
"Occasionally~"
Mulder patted Johnny on the shoulder.
"Hey, man, you may not know this, but our boss is the FBI's top bomb disposal expert."
Nelson also stepped forward and put his arm around Johnny's shoulders, saying in a mean way:
"Hey, our boss can not only defuse bombs, but also defuse eggs..."
Tobily, Mulder and Johnny all looked at Nelson in surprise.
"Fuck, how did you know that?"
Nelson whispered:
"Last time in Colombia, wasn't the boss responsible for sniper support? I can see clearly in the other direction..."
Tobery glanced at Beckett, who was resting with his eyes closed, and whispered:
"Don't you think Uncle Bei has this hobby? I heard the boss took a lot of effort to get him from the Marine Corps."
After Luke and Murdoch talked for a while, they came to the cabin and ignored the three idiots who were scaring Johnny, and instead found Cook and Erica.
"You guys stay on the plane for this operation. Just take good care of the little girl. The rest of the team will follow us."
Erica and Cook felt a little regretful when they heard Luke's arrangement.
It’s such an exciting thing to dismantle a nuclear bomb, but if I can’t participate in it personally, I won’t have such a good opportunity next time.
Murdoch flew the Pelican to the crash site of the stealth bomber.
After dropping off the team and the vehicle, Erica and Cook were left in the cabin to take care of the little girl, while the others got in the car and rushed to the scene.
Johnny looked at Luke in confusion.
"Boss, can your car run on this kind of road?"
Luke smiled and looked at Johnny.
"Hey, don't underestimate it."
After getting off the plane, the roadblock had unknowingly raised its chassis to almost the same height as an off-road vehicle.
Mulder, who was following behind, said to Hobbs, who was driving:
"Look, the chassis of the boss's car is raised. When will we be equipped with such a cool car?"
Hobbs glanced at Mulder and patted the steering wheel.
"Isn't this car cool enough?"
Mulder shut up... As expected, only muscular guys like this kind of macho car model.
Then he complained:
"You don't know that driving a cool sports car will attract a lot of hot girls..."
Hobbs stroked his big bald head.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm married..."
"Fuck... Marriage is really a man's grave..."
As they were talking, the team had already arrived at the crash site.
Luke said to Roadblock after Johnny got out of the car:
"Scan the wreckage... and pass the data to Lilith."
"Got it, boss."
After getting out of the car, Luke inspected the wreckage of the plane.
It is obvious that the plane did not fall from a high altitude, but crashed while gliding.
The stealth bomber is no longer recognizable in its original form, but it is still possible to see that part of the top of the cockpit is missing.
This was caused by the pilot ejecting.
"Lilith, can you track the location of the pilot's ejection seat?"
"Sorry, boss, we don't have relevant data. The military's data in this area is confidential."
"Look for clues from the Air Force rescue team. Let's see how they lost contact."
"Roger that, Boss. The satellite is already scanning the nearby area."
“Has the drone arrived?”
"On the way, it will reach the airspace above the team in half an hour."
"Analyze the data Roadblock sent you. I want to know the approximate area where the nuclear bomb on the plane fell according to calculations."
"Okay, boss."
Mulder looked at the wreckage of the plane and jokingly said to his teammates:
"The military is really rich. Over 2 billion US dollars was reimbursed just like that..."
Tobili: "Yeah, soldiers like us are the least valuable..."
Nelson: "Hey, man, we're retired now, life is great now."
Tobili: "Yeah, finally I don't have to be thrown out to defend the interests of those capitalists."
Mulder: "Just to remind you, the boss is also a capitalist."
Nelson: "I think our boss has a conscience."
Tobili patted Nelson on the shoulder:
"Nelson, you have been bribed by the boss..."
"Fuck, aren't you?"
Tobili shrugged.
"Yes, me too, everyone is."
After checking over there, Luke found some problems.
"A military rescue team came here, but left again. They must have discovered a nuclear bomb."
"Boss, another discovery." Lilith's voice sounded in the communicator.
"In the southwest, the wreckage of a military helicopter was found."
After Luke received Lilith's communication, he immediately gave instructions to the team.
"Guys, let's go. It looks like there's a group of unidentified armed men here. Let's be careful."
While rushing to the site of the wreckage of the Air Force helicopter, Lilith sent Luke another message.
"Several bodies of soldiers were found in the valley south of the wreckage of the military helicopter."
Arriving near the wreckage of the helicopter, Luke examined the pilot's body in the wreckage.
"This is not a military pilot, and he was killed by a pistol. Check for other traces nearby, including shell casings."
After searching for a while, the team found nothing else.
"Let's go, seeing as the terrorists hijacked a military plane. Let's go to the valley and take a look."
Although the map shows that this place is not far from the valley, the terrain here is complex and the elevation difference is huge.
The team arrived near the valley, and Luke looked at the situation in the valley below.
"Chapman, Mulder, come down with me and check it out."
The strange man tied the rappelling rope to the trailer hook behind the armored vehicle, and the three of them followed the rope to the bottom of the valley.
There are not only the parachutes from the nuclear bomb, but also the bodies of the military search and rescue team members.
Chapman is on guard while Mulder and Luke begin checking for traces.
"Boss, they were killed by 5.56 rifle bullets. According to the traces, the gunman came from above the valley."
Luke nodded, agreeing with Mulder's analysis, and gave instructions to Hobbs on the communicator.
"Hobbes, take someone to check above the valley to see if there are any traces."
"Okay, boss."
Down in the valley, Luke and Mulder finished their inspection and came to a conclusion.
The two military helicopter pilots were shot dead and thrown down.
The bodies of three search and rescue team members remained.
But there is something wrong with the body of the search and rescue team leader.
He was killed at close range with a pistol, not with a rifle from above.
Based on this suspicion, Luke gave Lilith instructions on the communicator.
"Lilith, ask General Ross for the information of the search and rescue team members, and send it to my tablet."
"Okay, boss."
At this time, Hobbs and others also found a lot of bullet casings above the valley. They were 5.56 NATO bullets, but not military ones.
Lilith quickly sent a message to the search and rescue team members.
Luke checked it and smiled.
"I told you, this must have been done by an insider."
There were four people in the search and rescue team, but there were only three bodies at the scene.
Based on facial comparison, it was discovered that the body of one of the persons was not at the scene.
The pistol bullet that killed the search and rescue team captain came from the M9 pistol used by the military.
After confirming the information, Luke prepared to return to the top of the valley.
Mulder asked Luke curiously.
"Boss, aren't we collecting evidence?"
Luke shook his head and gave Mulder a mysterious smile.
"No need. Once we find the terrorists, we can just kill them all. These soldiers were killed by them. There are no survivors..."
Mudd was stunned for a moment and then he understood.
"Fuck, the military is really shady..."
Chapman walked up and patted Mulder on the shoulder.
"Stop complaining and get to work so you can go home early. You should be thankful that we are here with the boss instead of under the military."
Mulder nodded glumly and followed Luke to the ropes.
Nowadays, the team uses special electric climbers for rappelling, which makes climbing up and down the ropes so effortless.
Back above the valley, Luke did not contact the military.
There is no point telling them at this time, and the call still needs to be recorded.
So just give them an investigation conclusion in the end.
The plane suffered a mechanical failure, and then terrorists attacked the search and rescue team and stole the nuclear bomb.
In the end, Luke and others killed the terrorists and recovered the nuclear bomb.
It's that simple, no one is wrong, only the damn terrorists are to blame.
Everyone else on the communicator could hear what Luke just said.
They were all former soldiers, which was the best thing for the situation.
At least those damned moles won't smear the military.
Although everyone hates the traitor, they still have to at least have some dignity when facing outsiders.
This is also the reason why the military agreed to let Luke come forward to investigate.
They conducted their own investigation, and both the White House and Congress had questions, but after the FBI investigated and came to a conclusion, there was no problem.
Everyone knows that the military has a lot of tricks up its sleeve, but with the FBI involved, the credibility is still very high.
This is also because Luke has a good relationship with the military. Both sides have reached an invisible tacit understanding.
