Chapter 196: I refuse
Soon Shogishi got in touch with the Silver Wolf. After listening to their report, the silver wolf muttered for a while, and after asking them about their situation, he promised to find someone to come and meet them at once.
In fact, the men arranged by the Silver Wolf were already waiting for news at the predetermined location in Florida, and they also felt very troubled by this storm. In addition, they once interrupted communication, and the other party was already anxious.
Michelle the Silver Wolf finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they were safe and sound, and he leaned back in his leather seat a little tiredly. He has been a horse all his life, and he has been born and died I don't know how many times, and there are no less than 100 large and small scars on his body. But I've never felt so tired and exhausted as I am today.
Maybe I'm really old. Silver Wolf Michelle smiled helplessly.
There was a knock at the door.
Michelle said calmly, "Come in." ”
Coming in was a blonde white young man who was the CEO's assistant. He said respectfully, "Sir, the Chief wants to talk to you. ”
Michelle frowned slightly and nodded, "Okay, I'll go see him right away." ”
"No, I mean mean, he's not in the office. The young man nodded, "He's in room A." ”
"Room A?" Michelle was stunned for a moment, then said sternly, "Take me over, immediately." ”
Morningstar's Room A is a room completely isolated from the outside world. The whole room is completely isolated from any electronic signals, because the walls, floors, and ceilings are all made of metal film, which strictly shields all wireless signals and eliminates the possibility of eavesdropping. It is also enabled only when a highly confidential conversation is taking place. The CEO chose to meet in this place, which shows that things are anything but ordinary.
Michelle walked through the office area to Room A, which was heavily secured and completely isolated. The young man who led the way stood ten meters away from the room very sensibly, and made a gesture to Michelle to please, but he did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
Michelle came to the door of the room, opened the door with fingerprint confirmation, and saw the old man sitting inside.
"General. Michelle frowned, "What's the matter?"
The CEO said slowly, "Do you know how big the incident is this time? The attack on the Guantanamo base and the prison riot shook the entire US side. Although it is still in a strict news lockdown, paper can't contain the fire after all. The exposure of this incident is already a matter of time. ”
Michelle nodded, "I know what happened, and it's done brilliantly." Not only did he succeed in rescuing the Panthers, but he also turned his attention completely to some extremist groups. This is also in line with the results desired by the US side, which is dissatisfied with Congress's reduction in military spending. It is an occasion to publicize the threat of terrorism and the need to maintain regular military expenditures. They don't need the truth anymore, they just want the result itself. In that respect, we have a win-win outcome. ”
"I'm not talking about the success of this thing, I want to say that it was a dirty job. You know the rules, and for tasks like this, we have to be as distancing ourselves as possible. And you're trying to answer them. I have to say, it's a very dangerous move. If they are under suspicion, it will affect the entire company. The CEO frowned.
"The situation took a turn for the worse, and their ship was caught in a storm and stranded in the Bahamas. If we don't get them back in time, we'll lose all our efforts. Michelle said in a deep voice.
"I'm not talking to you about the rescue, I'm emphasizing that it's a dirty job! You know what it means. The CEO looked at Michelle and said, "We have to stay out of it." ”
"But we have to pick them up. Michelle said in a deep voice.
"Hell, I didn't say you couldn't pick them up. You can send someone to meet them in Florida, but you can't extend your activities to the Bahamas! The CIA has always kept a close eye on us military and security companies. No sooner had the Guantanamo incident happened, and your people were in the Bahamas, just a hundred kilometers away from Cuba! "Then what do you mean?" said Silver Wolf Michelle calmly as she looked at the old man in front of her.
"Abandon a qiē rescue operation and wait at the predetermined location in Florida. If they're lucky, they'll find a way to come back. If I'm too unlucky, I'd rather the panther die than have the truth of this matter exposed. You know, as a military security company registered in the United States, what will be the outcome of attacking the United States. I shouldn't need to say much about that. The CEO said slowly.
"But their ship was wrecked in the storm, and they couldn't go at all, except by way of the Bahamas, and from there to Florida. And this process will bring greater risks. The Black Panther Guray was still with them, and they didn't have any documents on them that could prove their identity. The normal way to get through guò can be described as difficult to move an inch. Silver Wolf Michelle looked at the CEO and said.
"I understand the enormity of this task, but I believe that you and Zhao Jianfei also understand the particularity of the so-called dirty work. The CEO said calmly, "Yiqiē puts the task first, this is the first rule of mercenaries. ”
"Even at the risk of losing them?" said Michelle, slowly.
"Yes. I'd rather none of them come back than it would be better for the whole incident to be revealed because of your response. The CEO said slowly, "You know what I'm saying, and I'm not deliberately targeting anyone. Even if Zhao Jianfei didn't respect me enough, I still respect his ability and the one he has done for the company. But it is a matter of principle, the task takes precedence over the individual, and the interests of the company take precedence over the task itself. ”
Silver Wolf Michelle was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and said, "What if I refuse your mention and insist on picking them up?"
"Then you'll lose my trust. I can't tolerate you for the sake of your own small group with strong personal feelings, without regard for the overall situation of the whole company. This is also where you have historically been most criticized by other board members. The CEO's eyes looked at Michelle, the silver wolf, like sharp blades.
Michelle was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "It's a pity. General, what you just said has caused me to lose the same trust in you. ”
"What did you say?" snapped the CEO.
Silver Wolf slowly got up and said, "Back then, we established this company in order to unite and use the system to regulate ourselves and better serve the mercenaries, that is, ourselves. But I don't know when we became bureaucrats, and the rules we made were no longer for them, but for ourselves. We can even sacrifice them at will, and justifiably say that it is for the good of the company. And I never could do that, because I was a low-level mercenary who could be sacrificed at any time, just like them. So, I'm sorry, I refuse. ”
