Chapter 744

"How many 007 films have been made so far?" The speaker of congress turned to Benjamin and said, "I watched about a dozen movies. Later, I felt that the routine was the same. In addition, I was old and didn't like that kind of fighting and killing movies, so I didn't pay any more attention."

"Last year, I made a new one. So far, it may be about 20." Benjamin said with a smile, "I've only seen the brusnan films. I haven't seen the new ones released last year. It's said that the actors have changed and the performance is good."

"Really?" The speaker of Congress smiled and suddenly turned to look at James. The smile on his face disappeared without a trace. His expression was serious, "even with the help of former 007, the success rate of your plan is not high?"

James sighed: "this Mason is 80 years old and has been locked up in a black prison all year round. I don't know if he has become stupid or how much he remembers the things of that year. And we don't know the layout of the island, and we don't know whether Harris recruited other people besides the 23 mutinous soldiers... "

"That's enough. We're not here to hear you complain about difficulties." The speaker of Congress planned James's words and said coldly, "I want a solution. I heard how you remove those terrorists before the missile launch. I want to know how you protect our great country, okay?"

"I see, sir." James was not nervous, but his tone was much more serious. "I'm just explaining the facts, but I can assure you that no matter how difficult it is, as long as you give an order, we will try our best to complete the task."

"I believe in you, James, and I believe in your great boys." The speaker of Congress tapped his finger gently on the table, "but I also want to consider the lives of our soldiers. Although we can't completely avoid the danger, we should try our best to minimize the danger."

He raised his head and said to James word by word, "how about letting NIA's six major cases participate in this case?"

James opened his mouth and did not make a sound. Benjamin said, "with all due respect, Mr. speaker, I don't think it's necessary to involve powers, especially in such a major case."

Everyone else's face changed.

Benjamin stretched out his hand in the air and said in a deep voice, "I am not discriminating, but for the sake of national political security. If we try to rely on powers, then the voice of ordinary people will be greatly reduced. "

He stood up, frowned and said, "especially in such vicious terrorist cases that have no power participation and have a serious impact on the whole country, I think we can't rashly let the power participate, but we need to prove to the world that we ordinary people also have the ability to solve such things."

Hearing the speech, everyone fell into meditation.

After a moment, the speaker of Congress nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Benjamin, I have to admit that your idea is very forward-looking. But... "

His eyes were like a knife, staring at Benjamin: "if there is no power to participate, it may lead to more casualties. Can you bear this outcome?"

Benjamin clenched his fist, gritted his teeth and said, "at least we should try."

"All right." The speaker of Congress took a deep breath, turned to James and said, "as president Benjamin said, make two plans. First, contact the former 007 to see how much he still remembers and how likely we are to make a breakthrough to solve this matter. Second, we still need to communicate with NIA to prepare Sharon and his team. "

James nodded, turned and left the room.

Benjamin returned to his seat and said to the speaker, "Mr. speaker, please forgive my willfulness."

"No, Mr. President, what you said is very reasonable." The speaker of Congress smiled and said, "the whole world has changed dramatically. The relationship between powers and ordinary people will indeed be a problem that any ruler needs to think about. But Mr. President, you don't have to worry too much. We in the United States didn't just have powers now, but in the past. "

"I know we had the help of powers during World War II, but it was war after all. In order to win, we must take all measures to our advantage. " Benjamin said, "but now is a time of peace. We must consider social stability."

The speaker of Congress smiled: "although I may be irresponsible when I say these words, you are the president of this country. You will be responsible for this country in the future."

"No, Mr. speaker, I still need the guidance and supervision of a wise man like you."

When Benjamin and the speaker of Congress boasted to each other, James had made contact with a secret prison in another room of the Pentagon. On the TV video, a white haired old man appeared. He was staring at the camera. No matter how people next to him called him, he didn't respond. He looked like a wooden man.

But James knows that this guy is definitely pretending.

"Mason, I don't have time to talk nonsense to you." James showed the picture in his hand, "take a closer look at this girl. Does she look like your son? Yes, this is your granddaughter, and she is studying in New York now. In the next 48 hours, there will be terrorist attacks in New York. If you don't help us, your granddaughter's life will be in danger. "

James approached the photo to the camera and said in a deep voice, "time is precious. I can only give you five minutes to think about it. If you don't agree, you will go back to the black prison."

With that, James looked down at his watch.

As time went by, when the minute hand moved five squares, James did not hesitate to stand up, turned and left. At this time, the old man who was numb on the screen suddenly spoke: "if I promise, what's the advantage for me?"

James said calmly, "I can take a special channel to let your granddaughter leave New York early, so that she will be safe no matter you succeed."

The old man snorted. His dull eyes were immediately full of vitality, like a sharp steel knife, and fell on James through the lens: "what do you want me to do?"

"Devil Island, you should still be familiar with that place?" Looking at the old man's fierce eyes, James smiled instead. "I need you to draw a route so that our people can sneak in secretly from underwater."

"Isn't that place abandoned? Why should you... "The old man said thoughtfully," it seems that there is a crisis beyond your control on that island. Well, the island is between New York and Gotham, so New York is in danger. "

"You're right," James said simply. "A group of terrorists occupied the island and prepared New York and Gotham with missiles filled with poison gas. If the government does not agree to their demands within 48 hours, then they will launch missiles, and at that time both cities will come to naught. "
