Chapter 1375 Maybe
The Oasis made a short stop in Los Angeles, and the cabin accepted five guests, and the cargo hold below squeezed sixty fully armed American PMC.
There are also two C130s accompanying each other, carrying a total of 200 special forces members provided by the US.
A servant also complained that the PMC below occupied the cargo hold where Annie was originally going to ship clothes, but Qi Tianlin planned to go down and squat with his employees. After all, there were three senior officers from the US special forces inside.
Anne shook her head and stopped him: "Remember, you are the leader... the general. At this time, you should no longer show the joys and sorrows. Look up, let your people look up, go to the middle cabin, one of them is worth talking about."
A318 was originally able to accommodate a passenger aircraft with a size of about 100 people, but the result of being converted into a private business aircraft was that a large amount of space was luxurious and wasted. The entire cabin, which was originally a luxury space between two and three or five people in the front cabin. The middle cabin was a bedroom, but it could also be put away and turned into a guest cabin. The rear cabin had twenty or thirty guards and servants, and the lower cabin was all cargo cabin. Now it has temporarily become a squeezing employee, so there will be no problem with load bearing. This type of advanced passenger aircraft has automatic counterweight adjustments for computers.
Qi Tianlin didn't notice the five people coming up from Los Angeles. They glanced at them all, and they looked civilian. He probably was a similar CIA person, so he didn't take it seriously. The Eagle didn't come because, according to him, the whole situation was very chaotic after returning to the CIA, and the panic made him very glad, because it was obvious that part of the pension was stopped last month, and the wages of current employees could only be paid until the next quarter. Before the new fiscal year, the federal government's allocation may be stopped, because as a national intelligence department, they always know a lot more than ordinary people and local officials, so his mentality has stabilized and decided to take advantage of the chaos to seek something that he didn't dare to think before at the Washington headquarters.
Qi Tianlin recognized it, and for Huntel... he had his own ideas.
Annie watched Qi Tianlin get off the plane and meet the employees waiting at the airport and the US special commanders. Then she took photos of the five people boarding the plane at the porthole and uploaded them to the face recognition system. As a professional database of non-military information, there were four people who had no results, but the one they recognized was very famous!
It is famous in the professional system, but the outside world does not know it: "Milson Hammer, the most important expert in international relations in the United States."
Qi Tianlin didn't look at the tablet that Annie handed over, and bent down to kiss her in the face: "I know him, don't forget that I have studied most of the monographs on international relations. Okay, I'd better meet my gunmen first and then meet this expert. Don't forget that I will always be a gun."
Annie put away her long legs and racked her brains on the sofa. She thought sweetly, was she going to be a king who obeyed her own words, or a great man who had her own thoughts and even herself wanted to look up to?
For the arrogant, it was really a difficult thing to think about.
However, when Qi Tianlin, wearing a company combat T-shirt and multi-pocket pants, was about to pass through the middle cabin, he sat down in the corridor with the door closed and was reading a book. There was a reading light on the folding seat of the side jade, which was similar to the soft sleeper box of the Chinese train. It was very quiet, but it was obviously for the guard to sit temporarily, which was not very comfortable. Therefore, the old man in his fifties and sixties bowed his waist very awkwardly, but he still looked very quiet, and he made outlines from time to time, until Qi Tianlin stepped on the carpet and passed by him, and seemed to catch a glimpse of the tactical multi-pocket pants under his feet, which was different from the guards, and the tactical toe that was a bit dirty, made him raise his head, and there was a change on his face that changed from the book to the reality to identify people: "Paul... General?"
Qi Tianlin was very kind: "Mr. Hammer?" He stretched out his hand: "I have read your works."
Hammer carefully put the bookmarks, put away his book before standing up to shake hands: "I'm honored to be on your special plane, and I'm also very interested in talking to you. I don't know if I have time?"
What trans-ocean planes lack the most is time during the journey. Qi Tianlin nodded: "Okay! Wait for me to see my employees?" This Hammer gave him a good impression, not as aggressive as his professional arguments.
Hammer put down the book: "I'll go see your armed contractor members, too?"
Qi Tianlin didn't hide it even more. He nodded and led the way in front. After all, it was an airplane, and no matter how luxurious the space was, it was limited. It was unrealistic for two men to walk side by side.
The private aircraft's gangway is also very exquisite. Even when you get down to the cargo hold, it is covered with polished oak, and the steps are full of deep velvet carpets. When you walk up, you will be as silent as you are on a meadow.
But the little light and shadow changes that Qi Tianlin and Hammer went down immediately caused a slight sound below, and they all stood up!
The sixty top combat employees selected from the reconstruction company are all former U.S. special forces members with rich combat experience in Ikra and Ahanfu. Veterans who have served for more than twelve years can still stand here with full limbs. This shows their strength!
Qi Tianlin hugged Numidia and other guys he knew, and whispered: "Are you still used to it?" The upper and lower cabins were completely different.
The employees laughed: "It's much better than the c130." Indeed, whether the interior is good depends on what it is. The cabin and even the rest cabin of the attendants and guards is indeed far worse. There are not even seats here, and they are all sitting directly on the steel floor with their own walls. However, the bulkheads were covered with anti-collision pads to protect the expensive things of the rich. The porcelain sold in the auction that had just been purchased is now much more comfortable than the exposed metal pipeline bulkhead of the c130.
Qi Tianlin patted the employees on the shoulders one by one, and saw that even if these guys were on their own transport planes, some of them still tied the parachute bags tightly on their bodies, and almost everyone was in hand with their guns. As a typical battlefield sequelae, I finally saw three officers wearing US military combat uniforms, but they were about the same age as these veterans, and they stood up and saluted: "I am honored to fight side by side with you! Sir!"
The veterans curled up and laughed, which was the difference between officers and soldiers.
Special forces are more obvious. The purpose of soldiers is to solve the battle and complete the tasks. Their combat skills are their own cost of food. Because of the characteristics of special operations, the soldiers do not force them to follow the rules. Some troops even advocate big beards and hip-hop style to minimize the atmosphere of soldiers and facilitate combat behind enemy lines, so they feel a bit dispersed but not dispersed.
But the officers belong to another bureaucratic system in addition to combat skills. Their respect and rigor for their superiors is a continuation of their prestige. In Qi Tianlin's eyes, these American soldiers could tell the difference at a glance and responded with a smile: "After landing, you should change your military uniforms and sneak into my troops as PMC. This trip...the murderous aura is probably a bit heavy."
The three officers saluted again: "Abide by your arrangements! Sir!"
Qi Tianlin nodded: "I asked Numidia and the others for information. They have fought in that area. You probably are familiar with Japan, but in general, you still have to obey my structure."
The three officers did not neglect and saluted again, which made Qi Tianlin had to exchange a few more words with his employees, and pointed out which ones in the cargo hold boxes were fruits and which ones had cigars and red wine hidden. They slipped away amid the laughter and cheers. Hanmer followed him with a scholarly smile, and walked up the stairs inseparable like an invisible person before whispering: "Can the cabin smoke?"
Qi Tianlin didn't care and helped close the partition door between the upper and lower cabins, so as not to notice the smell of smoke from the royal guards above: "Isn't it just changing the air filter device? Money is not a problem, and I also believe that these veterans will not ignite the plane."
Qi Tianlin also went to the back cabin to look at his personal guards, and then brought a plate of food from them. In front cabin, Anne smiled and nodded and greeted her with a graceful greeting, saying that she would go to the cockpit to play for a while and leave the independent space for the two of them.
If it were Liu Ziyue and Ma Ruo here, they would definitely not realize the importance of this gentle scholar.
Hammer, the leader in offensive realism and the most important academic researcher in the United States in political decision-making, is his main work. He predicted in the late last century that "China will rise in the early 21st century, just like the United States manipulates the Western Hemisphere." Therefore, the United States' Pacific strategy, Middle East strategy, and even the strategic transformation of Central and East Asia are all based on his theoretical adjustments.
But he was also an opponent of the foreign war of the Gio government after 9/11, so he never held a real position in the government. Instead, he surpassed the government and served as a theorist, political professor of various international relations theories, and even he served as an honorary professor in the famous National People's Congress of China.
He is not like some brainless politicians in Washington, who are anti-China in order to fight against China. He has a clear view and a clear conclusion that the rise of China will inevitably lead to the decline of the United States. This is his jungle law: a wolf sees a little tiger growing, and if he doesn't eat it earlier, it will eventually put himself in danger.
Therefore, the United States has been sieging China since the 1980s and 1990s. This guy made great contributions to the theoretical guidance!
Qi Tianlin took out two cups and plates from the hidden refrigerator, poured some red wine, and put them in front of Hammer: "Actually, I am more used to making two bottles of cold beer and adding some mutton skewers during long nights, rather than being so elegant..."
Hammer smiled and took it, touched Qi Tianlin lightly, took a sip, and leaned against the massage leather chair that was definitely hundreds of times more comfortable than the bulkhead folding position he had before reading, but there seemed to be no physical difference... After a while, he watched Qi Tianlins slowly cut a bacon and put it in wine, and then said: "You...'s structure is already very stable. What should you decide next?"
If Xu Qinghua hadn't told Qi Tianlin the names of those related figures in China's American politics long ago, Qi Tianlin might have really thought that this person was the real gold medal undercover agent who had been hiding in the United States for decades?
