Chapter 2660

Lynch knew that the Capitol, as well as many federal lawmakers, staff, and innocent people were hijacked 10 minutes after it happened.

Some reporters reported on the scene. The entire main entrance to the Capitol had been closed. Many police, FBI personnel, and even military officers appeared at the steps of the Capitol.

Everyone gathered together and talked in small groups. No one took the risk of rushing forward. They were all restrained and polite.

The reporters speculated on the identity and purpose of these hijackers. From the speed and intonation of their speech, it can be seen that these reporters were very excited!

This kind of big news can definitely become the most outstanding event in their working lives!
But in the next minute, Lynch remembered something, picked up the phone, and dialed the phone number of Catherine's residence.

The person who answered the phone was her hired servant. Catherine was very busy at work and she couldn't clean the house by herself like she used to.

Moreover, even if she wanted to clean up such a big villa, she would not have enough time, physical strength, or energy to do so.

So she hired three maids from the community service company, one to clean the villa, one to cook, and one to deal with emergencies.

Sometimes people would visit her, which was unusual, but it was unusual for a senator to have no visitors, and she needed someone to help her deal with those visitors.

You can't just do everything by yourself, pour water, wash fruits, etc.

The maid who answered the phone told Lynch that Ms. Catherine left the house at around 40:[-] in the morning.

Then he called the professor's phone number. Catherine didn't go to her, so it was very likely that she went to Congress.

"What a terrible news!" Lynch licked his lips as the TV continued to show the situation outside the Capitol.

Boupaine Regional Police began evacuating the crowd, and reporters were asked to stay away from the Capitol.

People from the fire brigade and soldiers from the warning area have also rushed to the scene, but there is currently no commander on site. They are all waiting for the decision of the Presidential Palace.

Lynch picked up the phone and dialed the sergeant's number, "Let all our A-Teams be ready to carry out missions at any time, and you can also come over."

"They will probably ask me to go to the presidential palace and you wait for me outside the presidential palace."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qi stood up to prepare to leave, but the phone rang again. He looked at the phone twice and answered it.

It’s not the presidential palace’s phone number, it’s Momo’s phone number.

"Lynch, have you watched the news?", she asked, speaking quickly.

Lynch glanced at the TV screen, which was still on, and said, "If you are talking about the bad things happening in the Capitol, then I must have seen it."

“Is there any chance we can be exclusive?”

"exclusive?"

Lynch was stunned for a while, but quickly reacted. He frowned, "Do you know the meaning and price of exclusivity?"

Momo didn't speak, but it could be heard that her breathing was getting heavier. Lynch continued, "It's just news. There is no need to joke with your own life."

"I have a hunch that this attack on the Congress was not just a simple hijacking, but an attack. So many people have died. These people may not have considered getting out of there alive from the beginning."

"The cost of being exclusive is too high. It's easy to get it in, but it's hard to get it out."

"And...are any of you willing to work so hard?"

Lynch actually knew very well that the incident happened suddenly, and the Presidential Palace, or Connor, had never encountered such a difficult thing before, and they did not react for a while.

After he calms down, or after the entire staff team is assembled, all media reports will be cut off.

At this time, whoever can get the first-hand news can grasp the "traffic", and whoever can have huge development and wealth!

But it is also very dangerous, because if you want to do an exclusive, it means that reporters and photographers are likely to have close contact with these robbers.

In similar large-scale attacks and hijackings in history, nearly two-thirds of the attackers requested that their demands be made public to the public.

Their purpose in doing so is actually to influence the people, incite public opinion and public opinion, and in turn force the federal government to meet their demands in certain aspects.

For example, release the leader of a certain organization or something like that.

Either release this bad guy or let a large number of innocent people die and the terrorist attacks continue.

The federal government is under pressure and will most likely temporarily compromise.

If they want to achieve this goal, they must rely on the media, so someone will definitely be able to get exclusive news.

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'll take care of it."

There is no shortage of hard-working people these days, and if it doesn't work... she can do it herself.

Lynch cursed a lunatic and hung up the phone. In less than a minute, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Lynch, Mr. President, I hope you can come over as soon as possible." Two agents who looked like the FBI stood outside the door. Lynch's people checked their identification and license plate numbers before letting them approach the house. .

"Of course, let's go!"

When the convoy left the community, four mounted police vehicles opened the way for the convoy with sirens "Ula hoorah". It was obvious that Connor was very anxious now.

The journey that originally took more than 30 minutes and nearly 10 minutes was completed in less than 15 minutes this time.

Comprehensive traffic control has been implemented on the entire main road in Bupen, and it is said that some people saw the army entering the city.

When Lynch arrived at the Presidential Palace, the sergeant was already waiting for him at the door.

After Lynch had someone give the sergeant a temporary pass, he put on his identity badge as a consultant to the presidential palace and entered the presidential palace together.

"Everyone is ready to act at any time. In addition, I have arranged for Team B to be on standby at any time."

The sergeant followed Lynch closely, talking about Blackstone's security arrangements as he walked. After listening, Lynch added a few points, "I think this matter is inseparable from the Peleus family. Find someone to crucify them." them."

"In addition, let our fighter jets be refueled, hung with live ammunition, and ready to take off at any time."

"I'll let Connor handle the channel."

"Do this and wait for me outside the office door..."

After hearing this, the sergeant stayed where he was and watched Lynch, led by the staff of the Presidential Palace, disappear around the corner of the corridor, and then walked towards the phone beside him.

"You're finally here!" Connor stood up from behind the table when he saw Lynch. He looked in pain. "This is all too bad. Who can introduce Lynch to the latest situation."

A staff member began to introduce that in fact, the current development of the situation in the Capitol has not changed much from before, and no one can figure out what is going on inside.

The attackers had stopped killing, after they had killed 37 people, including several police officers at the Capitol in addition to some guards.

"So far, they have not made any demands, nor have they asked us to do anything. We have not yet figured out the identity and purpose of the people inside."

Lynch nodded, said "thank you", and then took the coffee from the secretary's hand, "as if he didn't say anything."

There was a brief suffocation in the room. In fact, it wasn't just Connor, but no one else here had ever experienced this kind of thing before, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

"Where are our emergency experts?" Lynch asked. Connor looked at the chief, who stood in the corner and swallowed. "They are ready at the scene and can be dispatched at any time."

"Who is the scene commander now?"

Connor's eyes moved around the others. He seemed to have never heard anyone say this. Looking at his innocent eyes, Lynch knew that they had not arranged for on-site command.

The incident happened so suddenly, and no similar early warning and emergency measures had been taken, so they were a little at a loss for the first time.

"It hasn't been decided yet. Do you have any good suggestions?" Connor responded quickly. As a qualified politician, he can quickly distinguish what responsibilities he can bear and what responsibilities he cannot bear, and quickly handle the situation. If you pass the trouble to someone else, he will get full marks on these items.

Lin Qi shook his head and did not answer the question. He didn't know many of those people at all, but his eyes stayed on the Director-General.

The two looked at each other for two or three seconds, or three to five seconds, and the director-general was very conflicted in his heart.

It's hard to get the limelight because so many people have died. Even if the rescue is successful in the end, he may not be able to become a hero.

But if he can really save more congressmen in the end, it will be more beneficial to his career.

It seems that the end of the world is coming, but in fact there is still more than ten years. So many things can happen in more than ten years!
Connor still has more than three years left in office. He doesn't know who the next president will be or whether he can still be trusted.

The Director-General's eyes changed in a short period of time. Lynch turned to look at Connor, "I don't know many people. Among the people I know, I think the Director-General is a capable and capable person." He can temporarily serve as on-site commander until we select a suitable candidate."

Connor also glanced at the Chief. Since the Chief had dinner with them last time, he had been very docile and kind.

He nodded, "Okay, then you go there first..."

The Director-General immediately turned around and left, and Connor also walked out from behind the table, "Who do you think is responsible for this?"

There are many people in the room, and everyone actually has a guess in their mind, and basically everyone's guess is very similar, and can even be said to be the standard answer.

It's just that some people are not sure who is the final winner and are unwilling to take sides early, so they remain silent or give unrealistic answers.

If it weren't for saying that "aliens" were behind the scenes, it would appear that they were overacting. They even wanted to say that it was all an alien conspiracy.

Connor, who asked the question, actually knew it in his heart, but he hoped that someone would be on his side at this time.

It's just that in this case, there's a lot of pressure to take sides.

Connor looked at Lynch with some disappointment, and Lynch directly gave him the answer he wanted, "The Navy and the Peleus family."
