The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 255 Extremely Cold (Please collect, recommend, and monthly pass)6400 words
Since 911/2003, the American judiciary has entered a new round of power expansion, especially with the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security, which has made the American judiciary more powerful than ever.In [-], after the Secret Service was merged into the Department of Homeland Security, its powers have also been expanded. They no longer only protect the president and his family members.

Presidential candidates and vice-presidential candidates determined within 120 days before the general election, children and grandchildren of the current and former presidents under the age of 16, visiting foreign heads of state and government and their spouses, individuals designated by presidential decree, and homeland security National special security incidents designated by the Ministry of Defense have also begun to enter the protection scope of the Secret Service.

It just so happened that the presidential candidate named Benjamin Asher also entered the protection of the Secret Service.

It's just a bit of a coincidence that just before entering the '120 days' protection period, the uneasy presidential candidate and his family suddenly decided to take one last family tour before the election.Family tour ahead of the presidential election... this Benjamin Asher has a big heart.

Generally speaking, the presidential candidates in this period should start to enter the intensive campaign preparation period. He needs to build momentum for his election, attract more sponsors, and appear on more TV shows to gather popularity.

However, this presidential candidate chose to travel before entering the protection period of the Secret Service...

This caught the Secret Service a little off guard.They had already started working on a protection plan for Benjamin Asher, but tourism was definitely not in the Secret Service's plans.

However, in view of the fact that Benjamin Asher's travel plan is not long.

There is only one week, and the protection period is about to begin, so the Secret Service can only secretly send agents for secret protection.

But that goes against the Secret Service's position.

Before the general election, what they said and said can be regarded as having a biased position. This is a very serious political incident.According to the regulations of the U.S. government, various government departments should not take a position on the general election, especially the judiciary, which absolutely cannot happen.

Of course, regulations are regulations, but like all countries in the world, there are very few people in the United States who secretly take regulations seriously.And Benjamin Asher was already far ahead in the polls before the election.Therefore, it is understandable that the Secret Service gave certain preferential treatment in advance.

Benjamin Asher was different from previous presidential candidates. He represented a new trend in politics.He is young, British, and humorous, which is very in line with the preferences of young people.

His political platform is also fascinating.He advocated "reform", emphasizing the end of the Iraq war, the realization of energy self-sufficiency, the suspension of tax cuts and the popularization of medical insurance, etc., economically promised to strengthen financial supervision, limit its scale and high-risk transactions, so as to prevent new financial risks.At the same time, it also emphasizes increasing jobs and reducing unemployment.He also promised to achieve partisan unity, rebuild international alliances, and restore American leadership.

This is full of temptation for the American people today. After the Iraq War began, the US government was under great pressure from public opinion at home and abroad, and the domestic anti-war atmosphere was very strong.At the same time, due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, the American people's attitude towards Wall Street has deteriorated sharply, and they have continuously called for strengthening the supervision and control of Wall Street, and even broke out the Occupy Wall Street movement for this reason.

All in all, Benjamin Asher's appearance perfectly catered to public opinion, so when he planned to start running for the election, the polls went up all the way.You must know that the general election has not officially started yet, and the Democratic Party only announced Benjamin Asher as the Democratic Party candidate three days ago.

Of course, this is all a scene, and in fact there is a very complicated game of interests involved.Benjamin Asher was elected by various interest groups.This is the rule of the game that has been passed down for centuries in American politics.

Originally, Benjamin Asher was supposed to transit in Chile yesterday and fly directly to the United States.Unfortunately, at this point in time, something went wrong.

Benjamin Asher traveled on a cruise ship this time, but the cruise ship did not arrive in Hong Kong as scheduled yesterday!
Now the Secret Service is in a panic. What the hell is the presidential candidate who has the best chance of being elected?If this gets out, their Secret Service will at least bear most of the responsibility.Although strictly speaking, it is not their responsibility, but at that time, other people don't care about it, and someone will always take the blame.

So the Secret Service needs to get this thing done and get Benjamin Asher back.

But the problem is that the Secret Service has no law enforcement powers overseas, and they can only turn to other forces.So there was the scene just now.In fact, the Secret Service can ask the CIA for help, but since the establishment of the CIA, there have been too many forces involved in it, so don't look at the CIA as a whole, but in fact the twists and turns inside are much more complicated than imagined.If the Secret Service really turned to the CIA for help, it might complicate the situation.

So the Secret Service can only turn to the military's special response force.

Although the military is also divided into many factions, relatively speaking, it is much purer than the CIA.Moreover, the military rarely intervenes in general elections, and they participate less in such political games.Anyway, no matter which president comes to power, the interests of the military cannot be shaken.

……

"So... why did this guy go on a trip at this time?" Kai didn't care much about other things, he was more curious about what this Benjamin Asher was thinking?
Lynn Jobs was silent for a while, and then said helplessly: "His marriage has some problems recently, so he plans to travel together to ease the relationship between the two..."

Now Kai has nothing to say. This politician is a bit showy. At this moment, he actually went on a trip to save his marriage. It seems that he and his wife should be true love.

"So, can you tell me where exactly are they?"

……

Almost two hours later, Kay and his team set off again, much to the dismay of the rest of the team.As the strongest team of the entire special response force, they have always been on missions frequently, but no matter how high the frequency is, they are not at the level where they will start again just after returning home.

"Fack... My vacation is wasted again! When was our last vacation? Six months ago?" Portman, the sniper of the team, was sitting on the plane and was arranging his own weapons while complaining loudly. The noise of the transport plane is relatively loud, so you must speak loudly.

"Hey! Dude, what did you plan to do with your vacation?" Duke, the firefighter, asked Portman aloud while painting his face with black oil paint.Duke is a typical American soldier, white, Protestant, square face, square body, middle class family.

"I'll go to San Juan, lock myself in a hotel, drink big drinks, and have sex with pretty boys!" Portman said with a disgusting smile on his wretched face.

Yes, Portman is a pervert.He is bisexual, and he has never shied away from it, and is even proud of it, so he is called a pervert.Discrimination against homosexuals in the military is very serious, and Portman's ability to live so well under such circumstances is enough to show his own strength.

"Fuck, you are such a pervert!" Destroyer, who was also a heavy fireman, sneered at Portman.He's the kind of guy who discriminates against gays.Destroyer and Duke are from the same hometown, they are from Washington, DC.The two have a good relationship and have been in the same unit since enlisting.

"Tell me, what exactly are we going to do this mission? Why did people from the Secret Service come to us?"

This is the team's Assaulter Meatball Frederick. He is a Russian-born brawny man with a tall stature, a full two meters high, and boundless strength.The neck and nose are always red as if drunk.But in fact this guy doesn't look like a Russian at all, he doesn't like alcohol, but he likes sweets very much.He was Kai's hand-picked teammate when he first led the team alone.

Although Rouqiu looks ferocious, his temper is actually very gentle.

"Maybe let's assassinate some dignitary? You know that's what Nixon was going to do!" It was the kid, the medic and the messenger.The little ghost is a new member, a member of the original team retired, and the little ghost is a new member who has just been added to them.Like his nickname, this kid has a baby face. If this guy doesn't join the army, he will definitely become a nerd. He is proficient in computers, likes anime and figures, and is a veteran conspiracy theory enthusiast.

"Don't dream! The politicians will not let us do this kind of thing. They have their own lackeys! We soldiers are not qualified to serve the masters." This is another commando of the team' Sir' Saji.

Sage and Kay's 'body' provider Adam are from the same town, from Minnesota, they are even in the same city, but Adam has never met him before.Kay was on the same team with him when he first joined the Special Response Unit, and it was at that time that the two knew each other was a 'citizen'.

Saji is not white, he is also a descendant of immigrants, he is Samoan.Samoan men are generally tall and strong, so some people call them "the strongest nation in the world". Although Saji is a mixed race, he perfectly inherits the advantages of Samoans. He has a typical refrigerator-like figure and dark skin. , very Hispanic.

Unlike his appearance, Saji is not the kind of rude and reckless man. On the contrary, his command level is very high.His command sequence is after Kai, so he can be regarded as the deputy captain.

A group of people are chatting happily, only one person seems out of place.

That is another sniper in the team, Goat.The goat is of German descent, just like the Germans in his impression, rigorous, calm, and not talkative.At the same time he was a fanatical Catholic, the most withdrawn of the team, and he didn't like to communicate with anyone except Kay.And the rest of the team didn't like him very much, but at work, everyone trusted him.He's the kind of guy who, when given an order, will absolutely get it done.

He's any commander's favorite guy, he just gets things done and never asks why.Right now the guy is reading a bible that's been torn apart.

"Okay! Everyone, now I'm going to introduce the task situation! So, shut up!" Kai's appearance interrupted everyone's chat.

Kai's command style is that there is no unnecessary nonsense. He seldom chats with other people in the team, but everyone trusts him extremely, because everyone in the team has been beaten by Kai at least three or four times.This kind of officer who can guarantee the safety of soldiers' lives is everyone's favorite.

"Yes Sir!" Everyone stood up and took a rest.

This is the habit that Kai brought from the people's army. He is serious and lively, and he must be serious when he should be serious.

Kay nodded, then turned on the PC.

"Mission objective: Bring back the target person safely. Target person: Benjamin Asher, the Democratic presidential candidate!" At this point, Kai couldn't help but complain. "Hope none of you voted for him."

"Secondary objective: Bring back Benjamin Asher's wife, Margaret Asher, and their son, Connor Asher. Requirement, try to ensure the safety of innocent people while ensuring the safety of the target person. Mission location: The luxury cruise ship "Argo". Okay, is there anything else you don't understand?"

"Report!" The goat raised his hand.

"Say!"

"What do you mean by trying to keep everyone else safe?"

"That cruise ship is full of wealthy, jeweled ladies and rich men... So if the situation permits, we need to ensure the safety of those rich lords. But if the situation does not permit... You know, our mission will not happen this time On any official document. Do you understand what I mean?"

What Kai meant was that if the situation didn't allow it, they only needed to bring back Benjamin Asher, and the rest... just let them die.Anyway, they won't keep files for this mission, even if someone complains, they won't be able to find anyone.

"understand!"

"Report!" It was Portman this time.This guy usually doesn't care much about the mission, but this time he took the initiative to ask questions. "Yago, is that the world's number one luxury cruise ship that just made its maiden voyage?"

Kai rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Yes, this time it's fulfilled your wish for vacation!"

Special Response Units are well paid.Take their team as an example, each of them has a monthly salary of about 6246 US dollars, but each task has a subsidy ranging from about 2000 to 8000 thousand.After a month, their team can earn about 10,000 to [-] US dollars, plus some messy subsidies and benefits. After a year, they can earn [-]+ total, and the U.S. military enjoys special tax incentives, proper high-tech !

It's a pity that because it is a front-line combat force, especially Kai's team, it is basically in high-intensity combat all the time, so in order to release the pressure, everyone in the team spends money lavishly. In addition, Americans don't like the habit of saving. In fact, they are all paupers.It is still a bit difficult to enjoy the world's number one luxury cruise.

No wonder Portman was so excited when he heard about the Yago. After all, according to the normal situation, he probably had no chance to enjoy that kind of treatment.

"Okay, any questions?"

"Report!" This time it was Saji. "Then who is our enemy? What kind of threat do we need to deal with?"

This was a key point that Kay didn't mention at all in the mission description, so Saji was curious.

"Anyone who hinders our mission is an enemy!"

The reason Kai didn't say it was because he didn't know either.So far, no one knows what happened on that cruise ship.Because all communication with that cruise ship was cut off more than ten hours ago!
Maybe they were on a rescue mission this time, maybe it was a combat mission.

……

About twelve hours later, the plane arrived off the coast of Chile.There is a storm blowing at sea right now.Few pilots dare to continue flying in this kind of weather, but most of the pilots assigned to the special response force are the kind of lunatics who are bold with high skills and a little nervous by the way.The transport plane was already bumping to pieces, but the pilot was still heading towards the target sea area.

"Damn! When can we change a batch of pilots, Hal is a lunatic! I hate flying on his plane, this idiot will drive the plane into a roller coaster every time!" Portman struggled to fix his body, crazy Tucao Road.

Hal Jordan, this guy with the same last name as the god of basketball is a genius like Jordan. He is a genius of airplanes, and there is no airplane that he cannot fly.But the only problem is that he likes stimulation and pursues stimulation. Even if it is the most ordinary flight, he can find stimulation. If there is no stimulation, he will create it himself.

Kai was very puzzled. The U.S. military didn't kick this kind of miraculous character away, but kept him in the special response unit.

Of course, complaints are complaints, and Hal's technology is still trustworthy.No matter how dangerous the environment is, this guy can deliver them safely.

"Hi! Ladies. Move your precious big asses! You've arrived!"

"Fack squid! Hal! Fack squid!" The Destroyer covered his head that hit the cabin wall, cursing Hal loudly.

"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment!" It's a pity that Hal, a lunatic, is used to this kind of 'commendation'.

……

Hal is indeed a genius, in this weather conditions, they still sent them to the sea near the cruise ship.The sea near the cruise ship is much less windy.They can safely parachute and land near the cruise ship. As for whether they can board the cruise ship, it depends entirely on their faces.

Of course, Kai has always been the Emperor of Europe, even if he is unlucky, he can cheat.Although the current Kai has only recovered to less than one-tenth of his full strength (strength: 5; agility: 4; spirit: 4), some low-level spells can already be used, and cheating is no problem at all.

Kai landed lightly on the top deck of the cruise ship, after retracting the parachute.Get in touch with your team members through the 'AWIS Army Global Military Command and Control/Information System'.

"Everyone report their location! Repeat! Report their location!"

"Code Destroyer, on the west side of the third deck!"

"Code name goat, I'm on the south side of the cruise ship, boarding in about 10 minutes."

"Codename Portman... Fuck, there seems to be something in the sea. Could it be a shark?"

"Portman, I don't want to hear your nonsense until your little brother is bitten off!" For Portman, a pervert, Kai is really helpless, and his attention is always on some strange places .

"Well, I'm at Goat Twelve, and I'll board the boat with him." Portman was also very helpless towards Kay, because Kay was the only one who could subdue him.Even if he is a pervert, he still has a heart of gratitude. Kai saved him the most times in the team.

"Code name Duke, I'm on the aft deck."

"Code name Saji, I'm on the sea at the stern, I saw Duke, I will join him."

"The cost of the meatball, I am on the west side of the sea, with the equipment, I am very close to the cruise ship, and I will be able to board the ship soon." The meatball is with the equipment they need, including an 11-meter RHIB rigid Inflatable boats, as well as a sufficient base of weapons, ammunition and explosives.These were finally air-dropped by transport planes.

Kay waited for a while, because he didn't hear the kid's voice, he was waiting for the kid's report.

But after a minute, he still didn't hear the little ghost's voice.

"Brat! Report your location! Kid! Repeat! Report your location!"

Still haven't gotten a reply from the kid.

"Attention all units! The kid is out of contact! The kid is lost..." A team member lost contact, which may indicate trouble, so Kai must remind the other team members and tell them the exact location to search for the kid.

But don't wait for him to finish speaking.

The kid's voice came out.

"Wait! Wait! I need a little time!"

Kai frowned.

"Brat? What are you doing? Report your location!"

"Sir, I saw the kid...he was hooked to the radio transmitter of the cruise ship, and he is trying to figure out a way to get off it now." Meatball reported at this time.

There was silence in the communication.Then there was a roar of laughter.

"Fuck! Fuck! I was just not careful! I'll be down soon! Soon!"

Kai also couldn't laugh or cry, he knew that newcomers like to make jokes, but the kid seems to be born with this talent, counting this time, he and the team carried out a total of three missions, but he miraculously made jokes all three times.

The last time he accidentally fell into the enemy's septic tank, he almost disgusted himself to death.The last time he was fighting in the jungle, he somehow provoked a swarm of wild bees. Fortunately, the swarm of wild bees were not very poisonous, otherwise the kid would be a real joke.

"Meatball, get that idiot down. Then we meet up where you are."

"Obey sir!" Meatball replied with a smile.

"Fuck, I'm a joke again." This is the kid's lament.

"Others gather at the location of the meat ball, and check the situation on the ship by the way!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Um...sir, I seem to have discovered something here." As soon as Kay finished speaking, Portman said in the communication.

"What's the situation?" At this moment, Portman is still swimming in the sea?How is it possible to see the situation?

"I saw a...yacht next to the cruise ship?"

……

Kai walked along the top deck towards the west deck of the cruise ship, but strangely he didn't meet anyone along the way.He walked for 10 minutes and passed through three entertainment halls, but he didn't see anyone except a mess!
"...I didn't see anyone."

"Me too."

"Falke... did we board a ghost ship?"

Soon a group of people gathered on the west deck, and after gathering, they immediately began to reorganize their equipment.When skydiving, they can't carry all the equipment with them.After sorting out their equipment, a group of people proceeded to the central hall of the cruise ship according to the blueprint of the cruise ship prepared in advance.

The two commandos advanced alternately as arrows, followed by the fire team, and finally the commander and two snipers.

They passed through the lifeboat deck and entered the interior of the cruise ship.

They didn't see a figure until they entered the interior of the cruise ship.

It was an armed man with heavy firepower. There was no obvious marking, and he should not be a soldier. They were equipped with very professional equipment, such as miniature communicators, Kevlar body armor, and a three-shot submachine gun made in China.

Especially the kind of three-shot submachine gun, which is rare in the world.But it is very powerful, with six rotating barrels, an insane amount of ammunition, an automatic cooling system, waterproof, dustproof and shockproof, it is considered a semi-heavy machine gun.

Since China has very strict arms control, this type of heavy weapon rarely flows out.And the details of this armed personnel are Westerners.Now it is basically certain that these Jedi people are not kind.

Kai made a tactical gesture, signaling Sage and Meatball to get rid of him.

After seeing Kai's gesture, a group of people immediately dispersed and set up an ambush on the only way that the armed man must pass.
