Reborn in Marvel: I am proficient in all kinds of American Iai
Chapter 98 Where is Luke Dutton?
After accessing the internal network of Air Force One, Luke immediately began to operate.
However, President Marshall looked at Luke's dazzling operations and began to doubt his life.
The gangsters upstairs began to collect the weapons scattered after the fight.
Because Luke and President Marshall hid in the computer room, they were not discovered.
But Luke had already noticed someone coming into the baggage compartment.
He made a silencing gesture to President Marshall.
After the man left, President Marshall asked Luke.
"Aren't we going to kill him?"
Luke shook his head.
"We are in the dark now, and they are in the light. Killing one of them would alert the enemy."
The White House, Washington, DC.
While Vice President Bennett was discussing emergency plans with the Secretary of Defense and generals in the Pentagon, he received a communication request from the gangsters.
Vice President Bennett took a deep breath and sat at the front of the long table. Everyone looked at her.
The communication is connected.
The gangsters held fifty hostages, including the president's wife, daughter, chief of staff, and security adviser.
Demand that Russia release General Radek of Ksakha who was captured by the joint US and Russian special forces.
They executed a hostage every half hour until General Radek was released.
The communication was ended without giving Vice President Bennett a chance to explain.
The White House is in chaos now, and the Secretary of Defense has received a report that the rescue team has found the escape pod, but has not found the president.
After receiving this news, the White House became even more chaotic.
Since the president wasn't in the escape pod, why did the gangsters say he escaped?
They even threatened the lives of his wife and daughters, demanding that Russia release General Radek.
Vice President Bennett and White House officials were also puzzled.
However, some generals guessed that the president was probably still on the plane and had not been discovered.
They knew that President Marshall had fought in the Vietnam War, and not only that, he had received medals and was a war hero.
If this speculation is true, then President Marshall is "the only hope of the whole village"...
The key now is that there are divisions within the White House.
A group led by Vice President Bennett believed that negotiations should continue to rescue the hostages.
A group led by the Minister of Defense believed that even if these people had to be sacrificed, the terrorists should not be released.
Finally, Vice President Bennett asked the Russian President to release General Radek, but was rejected by the Russian President.
He agreed with the Secretary of Defense and others that President Marshall had most likely been assassinated.
Therefore, even if these fifty hostages were sacrificed, Radek would not be released.
Just as the two sides were arguing, Attorney General Dougherty rushed to the White House.
After listening to the opinions of all parties, he expressed his own views.
According to the Constitution, if the President of the United States is unable to perform his duties and responsibilities due to circumstances such as disappearance or being held hostage, the Vice President has the right to take over the presidency.
But when he was halfway through his speech, he suddenly asked a question.
"Where's Luke Dutton? Is he on Air Force One?"
This question made everyone look at each other in confusion.
Soon, the staff reported to Doherty and confirmed that Luke Dutton was on the plane.
At this time, Doherty laughed, and the generals in the Pentagon laughed too.
This left Vice President Bennett, the Secretary of Defense and other officials in a state of confusion.
Dougherty hurriedly explained to them:
"Luke Dutton is a senior FBI agent, a bomb disposal expert, and an advisor on the capture of General Radek. He was appointed by President Marshall himself."
The Defense Minister was still puzzled.
"What does this have to do with the hijacking of Air Force One?"
Doherty smiled mysteriously.
"He won't die so easily. He's very clever."
General Al Kramer of the Pentagon added:
"He was involved in the terrorist attack on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco. As a bomb disposal expert, his special operations capabilities are no less than those of the Navy SEALs."
Vice President Bennett asked worriedly:
"He's alone, can he do it?"
Doherty gave him a reassuring look.
"He is not a reckless man who only knows how to fight. His mind is more reliable than his body."
At this time, the staff hurried over to report.
"Air Force One is turning..."
So everyone rushed to the big screen.
Air Force One was seen making a big circle.
After being hijacked by terrorists, it turned east and flew towards Ksaha.
But now, the plane is flying southwest.
It made a big circle around Germany, Austria, and northeastern Italy.
Air Force One is now over the Mediterranean Sea, heading southwest, and is expected to enter the Atlantic Ocean in two and a half hours.
Air Force One, baggage hold room.
Although President Marshall didn't understand what Luke was doing, he and Luke had overheard the entire conversation between the terrorists and Vice President Bennett.
He looked at Luke curiously, waiting for Luke to explain to him.
"I just quietly changed the flight attitude. In order not to arouse their suspicion, I made the plane fly in a big circle."
"We are now heading to Lajes Air Base in the Azores."
President Marshall still didn't quite understand what Luke meant.
"Why go to the base in the Azores?"
Luke continued to explain to him helplessly.
"We need to keep turning to fly back to Ramstein Base. This will let them know in advance."
President Marshall continued to ask Luke.
"So what do we do now?"
"I'm going to cut off their communications."
This answer surprised President Marshall.
"why?"
Luke gave a mysterious smile.
"When you hold your chips and want to go to the gambling table, but find that the gambling table is gone, what will you do?"
President Marshall was still confused by Luke's answer.
He was just about to swear at Luke and tell the Riddler to get out of Gotham...
Seeing that he didn't understand, Luke patiently explained to him.
"We cut off the communication to buy time and make them anxious, which will reveal their flaws. This way we will have the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"Will they kill the hostages?"
Luke shrugged and said:
"Chips are used at the gambling table. Will you throw away the chips before you get on the table?"
This time President Marshall understood.
Luke cuts off communications, leaving Air Force One isolated.
The terrorists have lost their communications and don’t know who to contact to make their demands.
If they really killed the hostage, their goal of releasing General Radek would not be achieved, and they would most likely be shot down.
Luke thought for a moment and said:
"Mr. President, you know, with the security level of the Secret Service, it is impossible for these terrorists to get automatic weapons."
After hearing this, President Marshall also understood.
"You mean, they have an insider?"
Luke nodded seriously.
"So it is not appropriate for us to come forward yet. Let them mess things up first and see if the traitor will be exposed."
President Marshall nodded and approved Luke's plan.
White House.
"Mr. Vice President, we have lost communications with Air Force One."
"what?"
This news shocked everyone again. They were already confused, and now they were even more confused...
Only Doherty was as steady as an old dog, sitting there quietly and saying to Vice President Bennett:
"It must have been Luke who did it. Let's wait for his news."
