Chapter 349: Incite Him to Rebellion

It is impossible for a tank to be blown up by a hammer. Of course, the tank was destroyed by an anti-tank mine. In fact, a more rigorous statement is that the tank did not explode at all, but only the anti-tank mine exploded.

But everyone thought the tank was smashed by a hammer, because it looked like it, and even if the final explosion was a landmine, the tank could still be said to have been smashed by a hammer.

Panetta said it with confidence.

No one knows how to fight tanks better than the president.

The president said seriously: "Wow, how did you do that?"

This question is difficult to answer because he shouldn't have asked it.

Given the current situation, Panetta has nothing to say, not to mention that he can't show that he is familiar with the targets the CIA is attacking.

Moreover, Panetta was not actually very familiar with Gao Yi. After all, he had only known him through a few phone calls. In fact, he got more information from Jolson.

Panetta knew that Gao Yi could give him a lot of money and help him deal with Liberty Wind, thereby striking a blow to his competitor Mason. As for other things, he hadn't really studied them carefully.

But Gao Yi always manages to surprise people, and he never makes things difficult for himself.

Just when Panetta didn't know how to answer, Gao Yi jumped out again.

This time it was the president who pointed at the screen first and said, "He's out again."

Yes, Gao Yi came out again. After smashing a tank, he captured another tank.

After watching the tanks move and fire at their own armored vehicles, although Mason was still standing, his whole body shrank like a deflated balloon. Of course, he was still standing, but it was his momentum that shrank.

After all, the Free Wind is commonly used and familiar to the White House. As the situation was turning unfavorable, the president finally couldn't sit still anymore and he started to get angry.

"What about Free Wind? Is this Free Wind's plan?"

The president waved his hands at the screen several times and said angrily, "The Sky Garden is just a small assassin organization. Free Wind used amphibious assault ships and tanks, but now it's like this, just like this?"

It didn't matter what happened, but the British were defeated, their tank was blown up and another one was stolen, and it happened right under the president's nose.

He wanted to show his face but ended up showing his butt, and then got kicked hard.

Mason could no longer conceal his emotions. He glanced at Panetta and said bitterly, "I suspect someone leaked the information!"

Panet smiled disdainfully and was too lazy to refute.

The president waved his little hand and said, "I ask you where is Liberty Wind! If this is Liberty Wind's plan, then ask them, now that the operation has become like this, do they have any measures?"

Mason whispered, "We won after all!"

The President looked suddenly at Mason, because far from being stupid, he was actually very smart. After asking the same question twice, Mason fooled him with a slogan-like answer.

The president said slowly: "In other words, this operation has failed, is that right?"

Mason was helpless. He whispered, "Breeze is in the UK. He facilitated the UK to send troops. Foehn is in the Iraqi military camp. He organized and commanded tanks and armored vehicles. Mr. President... We still have two tanks and more armored vehicles. The operation is not over yet, and it has not failed. As long as the military can arrive in time and bomb..."

The president waved his hand and said, "You told me that we can easily solve this problem without the involvement of the military. You repeatedly promised me that as long as you were given enough authority and support, many things would not require the cooperation of the military. Now, you tell me that in the end, the problem can only be solved by bombing by military planes." After that, the president let out a long breath. He looked puzzled and said, "Then why not just let the military bomb directly?"

Mason was speechless. He hesitated for a moment and said, "But the military... but if they bomb directly, they will lose the chance to capture the target alive. Uh, this is not actually a military operation. This is one... based on accurate intelligence... and then... targeted..."

Mason was trying to use the right words to put together an answer that was flawless but also meaningless. It was obvious that he had not made a good plan because he had not thought that the action might fail, so he became stuttering at this moment.

Although the president is arrogant, he has one advantage: he is pragmatic. Being pragmatic means that he will not be disturbed by Mason's meaningless nonsense.

I used Free Wind before because it was easy to use, but now I find that Free Wind can’t even handle a small sky garden. That means Free Wind is not good, and if it is not good, it is useless. This is a pragmatic person.

The president shook his head and said, "That means the CIA is not capable of this. We still have to rely on the military for this kind of thing."

Panetta stepped forward and said seriously, "It's not that the CIA is incompetent, but that the people who are carrying out this mission are incompetent, Mr. President."

If Panetta doesn't speak up at this time, he will be incompetent.

Now Panetta is trying to maintain the dignity of the CIA, not compete with Mason for power, so the timing of speaking is very important.

The president looked at Panetta.

Panetta said seriously, "In fact, the Hanging Gardens has not caused any substantial harm to the United States. On the contrary, the Hanging Gardens has a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, a very close personal relationship with Prince Salman, and an equally good relationship with the French. Why do we have to kill such a valuable person? Isn't it better to win him over?"

Mason suddenly looked at Panetta and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The president said to Panetta, "Oh?"

Panetta continued: "Free Wind took up a lot of resources, and what did Sky Garden have at the moment? However, Sky Garden still defeated Free Wind. I don't understand, but I am wondering, if the same task is given to Sky Garden instead of Free Wind, what will be the result?"

Mason snapped, "Shut up! You CIA traitor!"

Panetta said nothing, but the president looked at Mason coldly and said, "Shut up! If you say anything again, get out!"

The president kept Mason, but keeping Mason was more like a public execution because Mason could not speak and could only watch Panetta distort the truth.

Panetta said calmly, "I think a person's identity is not important, his nationality is not important, but his ability is important. If this person's ability can be used by us, then he is useful and a good choice. Mr. President, why can't you try to win over Sky Garden? Why can't you turn him against us?"

To a pragmatic person, what's wrong with Panetta's proposal?

The president thought for about three seconds, then he nodded and said, "It's an idea worth trying. A guy who can smash tanks. If I can persuade him to defect, I want to meet him. I'm very interested in him."

Panetta smiled and said, "I can try to get in touch with him. If I can persuade him to defect..."

Mason couldn't help but say, "He has a very close relationship with the KGB. Among the people who helped him this time, there are a lot of Russians, even many KGB!"

The president frowned again, but Panetta immediately said, "Don't say he is just related to the KGB. Even if he is a KGB agent, so what? Isn't it more valuable to recruit a KGB agent than a killer? Mr. President, what do you think?"

"No one understands the value of a multi-faceted spy better than me!"

The president finished speaking, then he pointed at Panetta and said, "Turn him over! Report to me if you make any progress. I want to see him!"
