Chapter 260 Scorpion
Chapter 260 Scorpion
If something really happens, we don't need too many people, ten or eight will be enough.
The most powerful spies are not at the headquarters, but the most capable ones, or the agents who really need to carry out combat missions, are indeed at the headquarters.
Britain likes to use older veterans. The mandatory retirement age for the two ace forces, SBS and SAS, is 52, so it is common to see professional soldiers in their forties and fifties still fighting on the front lines. The MI Special Operations Team is no exception. Their captain is exactly years old this year.
The Special Boat Service (SBS) and the Special Air Service (SAS) are all well-known special forces, but the UK also has a mysterious Scorpion that is not well known to the world.
Not being famous doesn’t mean you’re not powerful.
MI6 special operations team, nicknamed the Scorpions.
Twenty years ago, the Scorpions were the strongest special forces in the UK. If you said this to the SAS and SBS, people from these two forces would have to nod in agreement.
Why? Because the Scorpion members are only selected from these two special forces.
The SBS and SAS select the best soldiers from all over the UK, and the Scorpions select members from among the members of the SBS and SAS.
So this is all true. The Soviet Black Devil, the American Butter Knife, the Three-Headed Dog, the British Scorpion, the four top-notch special forces are all recognized by everyone.
Scorpion is the code name given by the Soviet Union. The reason why the Soviet Union named it Scorpion is because the KGB was hurt by the small and inconspicuous MI6 special operations team at that time. Just like a powerful person can still be stung by a small scorpion.
As for now, the Soviet Union is gone, so the Black Devil is gone with it. The United States is in its heyday, but their army's butter knife has been crippled, and the Trident has been broken up. Until now, only the Scorpion is left to maintain the myth of undefeated.
Of course, the Scorpion is no longer effective now. The reason is very simple. The Cold War is over, the opponents are dead, and the Scorpion is no longer needed. Therefore, the troops that the Scorpion can maintain by selecting the best from the best have no meaning to exist.
Without funding, all the ace troops will be doomed.
However, the Scorpion, who is stationed at the headquarters all year round and is ready to go at any time, has never carried out a mission in his own headquarters.
Operations Captain Collins is over fifty years old and has extensive combat experience. He is the most experienced person in the UK, at least, but this is his first time to carry out a mission in his own headquarters building.
Even the operations team leader rarely comes to this office area.
Leading more than ten men and following behind the director of the operations department, the group of people did not disguise themselves, but just ran madly towards the director's location fully armed.
Why wear a mask in his own headquarters? But to be honest, Collins felt that he might as well wear a mask when performing protection missions in his own headquarters.
Enter the elevator.
The director of operations took out his ID card, swiped it on the elevator's card reader, and then compared his irises before being allowed to enter the heavily guarded core office area.
Low-level staff need to verify their identity to enter high-level or high-confidential areas, but this is only a restriction for low-level staff. Senior officials will not verify their identity every time they enter and exit because they find it troublesome, so they have a special passage leading to a separate area.
It may be annoying, but that's just how the world works.
Collins is no longer young, but he still has plenty of energy, and even until his death, he has to be the one standing in the front.
The elevator door opened and Collins immediately ran out.
We have seen from the surveillance that the two Frenchmen have definitely entered MI6, and the parking lot has been checked and no one is in the Minister of Intelligence's car.
No one knew where they went, but even a fool knew that these two people were definitely not here for sightseeing.
We need to protect the director immediately, if it's still in time.
When they arrived at the conference room, the director of operations was about to knock on the door, but Collins pushed the door open.
I didn't go in with a gun pointed at me because that would have been a bit too much.
The door opened, and Collins saw a woman holding a gun and a strange man sitting next to the Minister of Intelligence and his director.
Several people raised their heads.
The man continued: "Why? Gibraltar is not negotiable?"
I'm late.
The boss is dangerous and the atmosphere is weird.
But what was being discussed in there? Gibraltar?
Collins blocked his subordinates and superiors behind him, blocked the door of the conference room, turned sideways, and placed his right hand in the most convenient position to draw his gun.
If he could, Collins would have drawn his gun, fired, and ended it all once and for all.
But after looking at Gao Yi, Collins immediately gave up the idea of drawing his gun.
Collins took out his hands and put them where Gao Yi could see them. Then he stretched out his hands and said, "Calm down, you two talk."
The consequences of forced rescue are unpredictable. Don't talk nonsense, don't take unnecessary actions, just use negotiation to resolve the crisis.
Emily was a little nervous. She said in a deep voice, "Get out! Close the door!"
Collins stepped back immediately, but just as he was about to close the door, Gao Yi suddenly said, "Wait, don't move."
Collins immediately stopped moving and looked at Gao Yi.
Gao Yi took a deep breath, looked at Collins for a few times, and finally said, "Come in and close the door."
Collins's lips were tightly closed. His lips were very thin, and he looked a little mean when his mouth was tightly closed.
Collins closed the door with his backhand and stood behind it.
He was wearing camouflage pants, a tight black T-shirt, and a holster around his waist. Judging from the handle of the gun, it should be a Browning L9N1 pistol. L9N1 is actually the British number of the Browning M1935.
Gao Yi scratched his face with his hand, then he smiled at Collins and said, "Please take out your gun with your left hand, then slowly walk over and put it in front of me."
Collins' holster is an old-fashioned leather holster. Nowadays, special forces basically use quick-draw holsters. An old-fashioned cowhide holster looks very retro.
Collins unbuttoned the holster with his right hand, then reached out with his left hand, pinched the slide of the pistol and slowly pulled out the pistol. Then, as Gao Yi said, he slowly walked to the conference table, placed the gun on the table, and slowly pushed it to Gao Yi.
Gao Yi nodded, but he didn't take the gun.
Collins began to back away, and Gao Yi suddenly said, "Now that you're here, don't leave. Please sit down."
Gao Yi pointed at the chair. Collins frowned, but he still pulled out a chair and slowly sat down, right opposite Gao Yi.
"Where were we just now? Oh, you refused to return Gibraltar to Spain, and you even refused to report my request to the Prime Minister?"
The Foreign Minister whispered: "There is no need to discuss this topic, please don't waste your time."
Gao Yi coughed lightly and said, "Then let's talk about the Malvinas Islands. Oh, you call it the Falkland Islands. You should return the Malvinas Islands to Argentina."
The Foreign Secretary could not help but ask: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know. If you return the island to Falkland Islands, I will let you go."
"That's enough! I suspect you don't even know what you're supposed to say. You're just wasting time with your nonsense!"
The Foreign Secretary spoke sternly, but he is really a little confused now.
The Foreign Secretary is not the only one in the room who is scratching his head at the moment.
In fact, no one knew what Gao Yi was talking about or what he wanted to say.
Yes, including Gao Yi himself.
At this time, the director, who had not said a word from beginning to end, looked at Collins.
Collins looked straight at Gao Yi without looking away, his face expressionless, as if he didn't notice the director's inquiring look.
No one knows why Gao Yi wanted to keep Collins, who looks tough and is actually very powerful.
But Collins knew why.
Because it is better to keep the threat in front of you, within reach, and kill it with a wave of your hand than to place it in an invisible place and let an experienced master plan a rescue operation.
So Gao Yi not only let Collins in, but also asked him to sit opposite him.
Collins knew that Gao Yi had absolute confidence. Although he didn't know where Gao Yi's confidence came from, he could see it from Gao Yi's eyes.
Not crazy, not afraid, but also not calm, not wise. Not confused, not determined, and not even nervous or excited.
Just looking at his eyes, he is just an ordinary young man.
So the question is, a young man who broke into MI6, took down the entire top management, sat with them and demanded the return of Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands, can he be an ordinary person?
Collins knew that a true madman was often not apparent from the outside.
He wasn't even excited, which showed that the person in front of him was extremely confident and extremely strong inside.
That woman is not worth mentioning, but this man who looks like he has no expression in his eyes is someone Collins dare not act rashly.
Collins finally turned his head slightly.
Gao Yi noticed Collins's action, but he didn't care much. He just smiled at Collins and said, "We are talking about business. Don't destroy this peaceful and friendly atmosphere."
If Gao Yi met a young man, he would be a little nervous, but when he saw an expert, he would feel more at ease.
Because not everyone can understand the world of masters. Only when you reach a certain level can you feel the aura of masters. So Gao Yi firmly believes that just by sitting here, he can make Collins dare not move.
At this time, the Foreign Secretary could no longer bear it. He could not see the eye contact between Gao Yi and Collins, and could not understand Gao Yi's warning. He said angrily: "You'd better state your demands quickly and stop wasting time on topics that are worthless to discuss!"
Again, Gao Yi learned this from Musa.
If you aim for the best, you will get the middle; if you aim for the middle, you will get the worst.
It is impossible for Britain to return Gibraltar or the Falkland Islands, but it can at least call Iron Fist George over.
Just as Gao Yi was about to speak, Collins suddenly said, "I know what you want. You have said it many times, but no one paid attention."
Gao Yi asked with interest: "Oh, you know?"
Collins said calmly: "Iron Fist George, you want to kill Iron Fist George, and for this you are willing to provoke a conflict between the two countries, or even a war!"
Gao Yi grinned and said, "Well, part of what you said is correct."
Collins continued: "If you let Iron Fist George come to you, can you release them?"
Gao Yi looked at Collins in surprise. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Collins nodded, then he looked at the director of MI6 and whispered, "I can't rescue you from him, so I sit down, sir. There is no other choice. Let Iron Fist George come. I'm sorry, but this is the only way to solve the problem."
