The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 417 Rescue from Cuba
When Kay rushed back to the police station, Director Cooper had already brought the CIA, FBI, State Department and DEA to a meeting.Among them, because of Marcus's special status, he was also specially allowed to participate in this meeting.

It's a pity that this is only a formality, and Marcus has no say in it.

After Tapia hijacked Sydney to board the plane, he called Marcus. Tapia's request was very simple, that is, to ask Marcus to return all the money seized by Tapia, and he would Will let Sydney go.

But of course this kind of thing is impossible, not to mention that in the eyes of high-level officials, such a large amount of money is definitely worth more than a DEA agent, just saying that the government is absolutely impossible to bow to the robbers, Tapia's request is doomed May be satisfied.

Not to compromise with the robbers is basically the rule of the police all over the world, because once this kind of thing happens for the first time, the police will wait for unlimited hostage incidents.In this way, although it is a bit disregarding the safety of the hostages, the world is like this. If you want to avoid the appearance of countless victims later, you must be ruthless from the very beginning and don't give those criminals any luck.

So no matter how angry and aggrieved Marcus was, those people would only hypocritically comfort Marcus, telling him that the State Department was conducting diplomatic mediation, and they were trying their best to use diplomatic means to rescue Sidney safely.

In fact, these words don't really mean much.The relationship between Cuba and the United States is very complicated.It is of course nonsense to say that the two have no direct communication. Although it is true that the United States and Cuba have not established diplomatic relations at the national level, the two countries are still connected through third parties and people from the public.

What's more, the Guantanamo military base of the US military is in Cuba.

It's very interesting to say that the two countries have been at war for so many years, and have even severed diplomatic relations, but the US military still has a military base in Cuba.The Guantanamo base is the earliest overseas military base established by the United States. It is located in the former Oriental Province in southeastern Cuba. In 1898, taking advantage of the victory in the Spanish-American War, the U.S. military stationed in Cuba, which was originally a Spanish colony. In 1903, the United States forcibly leased Guantanamo Bay and part of its adjacent land to Cuba to build a naval base. The rent was 2000 gold coins per year, or about 4000 U.S. dollars. This amount has not changed until now. In 1934, U.S. President Roosevelt and Cuban President Palma signed a permanent lease agreement, stipulating that Cuba could take back the base only if the base was abandoned or both parties agreed through consultation. After the victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the Cuban revolutionary government demanded that the United States return the Guantanamo base, but the United States has always refused to give up the base.

Castro has always opposed the existence of the base and has refused to accept US rents, demanding that US troops withdraw from Guantanamo.But the U.S. didn’t hear it, and nominally paid the rent to the designated account every year, and Castro couldn’t really fight the U.S. military completely, so things just stayed there, and kept going.

Up to now, the Guantanamo military base has become an enclave of the United States. The US military has established minefields and defensive positions outside the military base. Anyone who approaches it will be regarded as a provocation. The US military has the right to shoot and shoot.

In short, it is not that the two countries do not have communication channels, but... the relationship between the two countries is there. Castro is the iconic anti-American vanguard. Certainly.

For Cuba, Tapia is not a criminal, or even an excellent citizen who supports the construction of the motherland. Castro is unlikely to touch Tapia anyway.After all, there is no extradition treaty between Cuba and the United States, let alone Tapia's drug trafficking in the United States, but not in Cuba. It is impossible for the Cuban authorities to arrest a patriot for such a thing.Coupled with the hostility between the people of the two countries, the bad things Tapia did in the United States are regarded by many Cubans as anti-American and anti-imperialist.

When Kay opened the door and walked in, Marcus was already banging on the table.Teresa, as his direct supervisor, can only comfort him as much as possible, and has no other way.

When Kay entered the door, he didn't talk to Marcus immediately, but greeted an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hey! Im! How are you doing? How are Caroline and the kids?"

Im is the special commissioner of the State Council this time, to be honest,

"Caroline? She's still the same, worrying about the children all day long, you know, they've all reached puberty, a lot of trouble." Im used to work for the Special Forces Command, and he was an acquaintance of Kai. He retired to work in the Pentagon a few years ago, and was later transferred to the State Department due to his military background.It's a mess.Kai did not expect to run into an acquaintance here.

Although he and Kai are acquaintances, Im can't let go of some things.After all, he also has his own position.

"Kay, you know, rules are rules. About your colleague's sister..."

"Em!" Kay interrupted Im's next words with a wave of his hand. "I know, I know. I know the rules. But you should know me."

Im clearly understood Kai's meaning, he was silent for a while, and then smiled wryly, "I knew it."

"Of course you should know, that's what I did originally." Kai smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Okay, you can go back to the business."

Im nodded, turned around and picked up his briefcase, and was about to take the FBI and CIA people away, but halfway through, he had a few words with the CIA people, and got a phone number from that person , and then turned around and handed it to Kai.

"I can only do so much... And I won't admit that I have done anything afterwards. This matter has nothing to do with us. Well, you should know the rules." After finishing speaking, Im led the people away directly, even He didn't even exchange a few words with Director Cooper, and he was very straightforward.

Others in the police station were either thoughtful or stunned, not understanding why Kai wanted to drive these people away.

Director Cooper knew a little more, but still looked at Kai with a little worry: "Kay, can you handle it?"

Director Cooper is not qualified to check Kay's information, but from the limited information, it is not difficult to analyze what Kay used to do in the army.There are all kinds of urban legends in every country about this kind of thing, but Cooper knows that some are true.

After all, there is a dark side everywhere, right?

But this time it's different, it's Cuba!
The United States is very powerful, but if you really want to say it, Americans are actually very ignorant.A TV station once conducted a survey. They randomly interviewed people on the street and asked them about their attitude towards North Korea. Basically, 80.00% of the people blurted out that North Korea is the enemy of the United States, and they always want to destroy the United States.

But let them talk about why North Korea is the enemy of the United States, and how North Korea destroyed the United States, no one knows.Even more than 70.00% of people don't even know where North Korea is!They don't know anything about North Korea.

This kind of ignorance does not mean that Americans are really stupid, but that they are arrogant. They think that they only need to know the country they are in, and other countries... don't matter, they are all rural places.

As for Cuba, the vast majority of Americans don't know much about it. They will only speculate on Cuba based on their inherent impressions.

Dictatorship, poverty, poverty, spies everywhere, every Cuban hates Americans.

But those who have actually been to Cuba know that this is not the case at all.Apart from being a little poorer, Cuba is actually a pretty nice country. First of all, under Castro's governance, Cuba's literacy rate is quite high, exceeding 99%, which is much better than that of the United States.At the same time, the average life expectancy of Cuba has reached 78.3 years, the pace of life is slow, the folk customs are relatively warm and simple, and the law and order are good, especially the good law and order, which ranks among the best in South America.

Other South American countries, because they have not carried out national construction, or have listened to the fools of the Americans, have engaged in small government and liberal economic theories.This has led to serious local separatism in many South American countries, such as Brazil and Argentina, which everyone is most familiar with. Although they may look like modern countries, in fact local separatism is extremely serious and class conflicts are serious.Liberal economic theory has also made these countries a single domestic industry, lacking an independent industrial system, and finally gradually turned into an economic colony of the United States.

Let’s take Brazil and Argentina as examples. Brazil exports timber and minerals in large quantities, while Argentina can only do agriculture and animal husbandry. It lacks its own industrial system, and the share of domestic and foreign products is much higher than that of domestic products.Under such circumstances, domestic employment opportunities will naturally decrease, and the unemployment rate will soar, and then the society will become richer and poorer.

This is not the case in Cuba. The gap between the rich and the poor is small, domestic conflicts are naturally small, and the society is naturally good.

So to say that Cuba is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den is an exaggeration.Kay had spent time at the Guantanamo military base and knew what it was like in Cuba.

"No problem, I have acquaintances over there." Kay did not explain to Cooper that Cuba is actually a good place. Sing faro loudly, otherwise this situation cannot be changed at all, and it would be a waste of saliva to say so.

Marcus now finally understands what Kay is going to do.

This little Negro, full of emotion, was now in tears of emotion.

"Thank you, Kay, thank you."

Mike was more passionate, and he stood up immediately.

"I will go with you!"

But Kay obviously didn't intend to take him with him.

"No, no, no, you'd better be honest. You need professionals to do this kind of thing." What a joke, running to an enemy country to rescue hostages is not the same thing as rescuing hostages in Chicago!What's more, Mike's style... This guy will make the scene as big as he can every time he catches a thief.The last time they went to eavesdrop on Tapia, they almost blew up three blocks and fired thousands of bullets, not to mention the destroyed cars and public facilities. Anyway, after the bill was sent to the police station, the chief almost called The ambulance, if it wasn't for his and Marcus' excellent professional skills, they would have already packed up and left.

If you really want to bring him, then Marcus will definitely follow, and then it will be lively.He has no intention of confronting the Cuban army head-on. Of course, this kind of thing should be done as quickly as possible, and then run away.If you are really going to be held back by the Cuban army, then there will be trouble. Let me tell you if there is a fight or not. I just say that international conflicts are very easy to cause afterwards. In order to rescue a hostage, the two countries are at war with each other, which is a bit too exaggerated. up.

……

Since it is a long-established business, it is natural to call all my old brothers.

Saji and the others had just returned from Chicago, but they were called back within two days.Although he complained with his mouth, his hands were very neat, after all, he had money to take.This time, no matter what, they are also going to rescue the DEA agents. Their DEA must show sincerity, even if Kai's original intention is to save his friend's sister, but one size fits all.

And the DEA is also very good. For them, it is only right to rescue their own people. They are happy to spend more money on this kind of thing. After all, it is related to the morale of the entire organization.As for the money thing... what is Congress appropriating money for?They don't need their private money, what should they care about public money?And this kind of thing is easy to pay for, even the big bosses of the Audit Committee of the Congress will not embarrass them in this kind of thing.

So DEA waved his hand and directly issued a huge check.

On the same day, Saji and the others took a special plane to Chicago, and then flew directly to Miami from Chicago.From Miami to Cuba directly via an unspeakable channel. The CIA has secretly controlled many passages into Cuba, and this is not a secret. After all, the CIA has carried out 638 assassinations against Castro. to Cuba.

A group of people arrived at Guantanamo City, the capital of Guantanamo Province in southeastern Cuba, on the morning of the third day.This is where the famous Guantanamo Bay military base in the United States is located, and it is also where the Guantanamo Bay Prison is located.

Tapia's manor is on the sea side of the northeast corner of Guantanamo City, only a few kilometers away from the jurisdiction of the US military base, very close.

"That is Tapia's manor, the most luxurious manor in Guantanamo City, with a huge swimming pool and a golf course. Many officials like to come here for entertainment when they are free, especially some military officers. Tapia will provide them with There are many American products that are rarely seen in the Cuban market, so Tapia has a very good relationship with the local garrison.”

The speaker was a CIA employee in Cuba, a native Cuban.The CIA has a natural advantage in finding 'collaborators' or leading parties. Among other things, just an American passport can attract many people to work for the CIA.Although the happiness index of Cubans is very high, there are always some people who are dissatisfied with the status quo and want a better life. The decades of hegemony of the United States have caused many people to think that the United States is the illusion of heaven.

The little brother in front of me worked for the CIA because he wanted to immigrate to the United States and live a rich life.This is also one of the help Im gave Kai.There are many such collaborators in Cuba, even if they are exposed, it is nothing.Anyway, the CIA doesn't expect these people to help them assassinate Castro or overthrow the Cuban government.So don't feel bad.

"It is precisely because of the good relationship with the garrison that the alarm in his guard room is directly connected to the barracks. In the event of an accident, fully armed soldiers will arrive immediately. If you want to attack there, you must first destroy their troops." Guardhouse."

The CIA's observation point here is just opposite the Tapia Manor. Standing on the third floor, you can see most of the manor's configuration.

"How is their staffing?" Kay asked as he saw a group of flowered shirts patrolling inside and outside the manor with guns pinned.In other words, why do drug dealers like Hawaiian shirts with gold necklaces and gold watches?It looked like a blast.

"There are at least fifty hotshots in the manor. These hotshots are not ordinary gangsters. They were arranged by Tapia to enter the barracks to undergo formal military training. Some of them were directly recruited by Tapia from the retired soldiers. After all, he has a lot of dollars."

Although the relationship between Cuba and the United States is very poor, the purchasing power of the US dollar in Cuba is still leveraged.Many Cubans prefer to receive US dollars rather than their own currency.

"In addition, a full security system has been installed in the manor. Once someone breaks into the manor, the sensor will alarm. This is also a troublesome problem. We have not obtained his security design drawings. This system was found by Tapia himself. Someone installed it, but mine didn’t pass it by. So you can only solve it by yourself.”

Kai nodded, indicating that he understood.

"What about the hostages?"

"We already know this. They are not too strict with the hostages. Our people have already contacted her. She is in the second room on the west side of the second floor."

"Well, I see. By the way, can you do me one more favor?"

"If only I could."

"Don't be nervous. It's very simple. Can you find me some small animals like cats and dogs?"

"It's fine, but... what's that for?" Cuban brother didn't understand what Kay was going to do.

"Destroy the security system." Kai said confidently.

The Cuban boy was dumbfounded.

"Tsk." Kai smacked his lips and whispered something in the little brother's ear, and then he suddenly realized.

"No problem, leave it to me."
