Departure, Target: Everglades City
Chapter 154:Departure, Target: Everglades City
After a moment of silence, they finally compromised.
“I’m President Ebam,” came a familiar voice on the phone, which Martin had often heard on television before.
“Mr. President,” Martin, after a long time on his part, finally decided to report the mystery to Washingtonn, “our scientific research and national strategy information is being hacked.”
“Did you find anything?”President Ebam asked with some doubts that he did not believe Martin's words, because there was no relevant person to give him similar information at the end of the presidential palace.
"You know I'm a scientist," Martin hesitated, "and of course I'm a hacker."
“Whatever you have secretly done before, I am here to promise you that you will forgive everything that is involved in breaking the law.”President Ebam misinterpreted Martin’s hesitation as a concern about her identity.
"In order that you may believe a little more in what I am going to say, I will tell you something that only you know, and whether it is convenient or not?"Martin knew that the president didn’t quite believe his words, so he had to try.
"It's okay, please tell me."President Ebarm said that Martin’s words succeeded in hoisting his curiosity.
“You wrote an email to your ex-girlfriend, Ginave, when you were young,” Martin said.
“I wrote her a lot of emails,” Ebam laughed, and Martin suddenly mentioned his ex-girlfriend, which surprised him.
"I am referring to the only mail you didn't send, which you have been in your private e-mail, with a side-face sketch you hand-painted for Ginave."After Martin had finished saying this, he began to wait quietly for the opposite reaction.
Ebarm on the other end of the phone came out of the black lines on his forehead, and he turned his head to look at the other bottom members sitting next to him, and everyone turned awkwardly after looking into the president's eyes to look in other directions.
"Tell me what is very important, Martin," said Ebam, who had been convinced of Martin's words.
“I found a mysterious person who had repeatedly breached the National Computer Security System in Washington, Dahrendon, and that he had also breached the Tampa Institute’s server database, and I found traces of him at the National Data Center in Gipros.”Martin said quietly, "I think this matter is very serious, I hope you can attract attention, because this mysterious person's action is beyond the scope of personal behavior, I believe that behind him must be implicated in a certain behemoth."
Martin's words shocked everyone present at the other end of the phone, the president's team members looked at each other, as the Secretary of Homeland Security Kelly is even more embarrassed, he did not expect in his own responsibility on the security matters that made such a serious mistake.
“Dr. Martin, the information you give back is very important,” Ebarm said, “and I have to admit that we haven’t done enough in information security, and I hope to invite you to help us solve this hidden problem, and I don’t know if you’re willing to accept it.”
“Of course I will, Mr. President,” Martin readily agreed, “this opponent is tricky, but I believe I will not lose it to him.”
"Very well," said Ebam, "I will arrange a Tampa Bay cruise ship to pick you up in the nearest Everglades City, and please hand over the phone to Jason, for I have the relevant orders to be given to him."
“Major, the president is looking for you,” Martin handed the call back to Jason, then silently returned to his truck.
“Major, Wvarton owes you a military medal,” Ebam first affirmed Jason’s credit for protecting Dr. Mario and others, “and we need you to protect Dr. Mario and Dr. Martin and bring them safely to Everglades.”Fort Myers is too far away and needs to cross the city of Naples and Capcoel in the middle of the road, which will bring a lot of uncertainty to the future of your trip.I will arrange a cruise ship moored in Tampa Bay to meet you in Everbow City and then to Houston when you meet.”
"Follow orders, Your Excellency," said Jason, noding excitedly, for the first time he had received an order from the President himself, an honor not even his superior, Colonel Dirk.
“It’s a tough task, the country has no other military force in Florida anymore, and we can’t help you more and we hope you understand,” Ebam said, keeping Jason’s heart warm, and even at this moment, he would not hesitate to stand out if Jason needed to give his life for the country.
“From now on, Whamunton will raise the priority of your troops’ satellite lines,” Ebam continued, “and the next “Command of Cyber Operations” (JFCCNW-US Super Hacking Special Forces) will go to Houston to join you, and then ask you to arrange for Dr. Martin to lead them in their work.”
“Okay, Mr. President,” Jason took over on the mission, and the whole person breathed a new life.Before he was interrupted in contact, he was in a state of confusion, there was no specific direction of action, the only thing he could do was to protect the safety of the team members.
Now, the new order was to make your way to Everbado City, where it was only half the distance from Fort Myers, where the convoy was now, almost all of it was in plain terrain.The plan the President had set for them was very thoughtful and perfect to avoid opening up those dangerous urban areas.
What pleased Jason most was that he had been worried all the way around to find ships to sea after arriving at Fort Myers, and now that none of this was a problem, and the Tampa Bay cruise ship would come straight to meet them.
After hanging up the phone, Jason went back to the truck and picked up Hill and kissed Hill hard, then summoned the rest of the convoy to announce the good news they had just received from the side of Wharton.
Hill’s face was still red, and Jason’s public kiss made her no mental preparation.But then Jason announced the news to everyone to the team boiling, everyone's face swept last night's haze, have hugged each other to celebrate, some people crying with joy, sighing bitter.
Martin's face showed a smile, after the mysterious person's information back to Wharton, her heart relaxed a lot, before she was alone in the fight, so often feel a little powerless.Now, the president has arranged for her to help her deal with this mysterious man.With the addition of the National Network Department, Martin became confident, before she looked forward to her victory in the one-on-one confrontation, but because of the power gap she could not help but resort to the Warsaw St.Martin's thinking was not pedantic, and she knew perfectly well that in this predatory world, only the winner was king.
In the presidential conference room in Washington, D.H., Secretary of Homeland Security Kelly suddenly said, “Your Excellency, I have made a serious mistake in my security work, and this time I will resign to you.”
"No, Kelly, I'm afraid I won't agree with your request," said Ebam, looking into his eyes. "Every one of you here is my most trusted helper, and you are the elite of the country, and this country needs you, and I need you."
“Kelly, you don’t have to blame yourself too much, and I know very well that the disaster almost destroyed your department, and many cyber experts died.”Ebam continued, “This sector was once a powerful part of the state, and although it suffered a near-destruction in the disaster, we still have to have confidence in it.You have to start rebuilding this sector and reinvent it.”
“But Mr. President, because my mistakes in my work have cost the country, these cannot be taken over in such a way that I must take responsibility for my mistakes.”Kelly said persistently.
“Then I order you to make up for the work ahead,” Ebam picked up a book and opened the list, “and this is a supplementary list of cyberwarfare personnel you submitted last time, and I have seen their seniority, which you can focus on cultivating as appropriate, and the reconstruction of the country cannot be separated from these dynamic young people.”
"Well, Mr. President," Kelly finally agreed, and he took a breath in his heart and decided to take the next mystery man who embarrass himself.
“If nothing else, I’ll go to the security work, folks,” Kelly told his other colleagues, intending to leave early.
Back in his office, Kelly sat down at his desk, breathed deeply and calmed his mind.
Kelly pressed a button on his desk, then said to a microphone next to the table, “Let the people of the Cyber Division come to my office.”
“Call the new people,” Kelly added, “and let Rick put his hands in advance and come and listen.”
After the order was done, Kelly began to think about the planning of the network department, his fingers on the tabletop with a rhythmic tap, next to the ashtray lying a few burned cigars.
Kelly took a cup of tea on the table and took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, because there was a waiter's care, the water in the teacup was always hot, which was a very good treatment in the end of the world.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Kelly adjusted her posture slightly to make her body look more correct.The waiter knocked on the door and informed him of the arrival of the assembled people.
“Come in,” Kelly shouted to the door.
Seven or eight mermaids stood in a row at Kelly’s desk, most of them acting somewhat prim.
"Now you need to come up with your real skills, folks," Kelly glanced at the people in front of him, and pointed his finger at the sofa.
When all of them were seated, Kelly continued, "There's a guy who made our Web Department throws his face in front of the president, and I want you to get the field back to me."
“Go back and get ready, and then I want you to go to Houston and meet a woman named Martin,” Kay tapped the table with her finger, “don’t look at this woman, she’s a great hacker.”I want you to work with her to identify the hacker who stole our national security information, including the forces behind him.”
“Rick,” Kelly’s eyes turned to a young man with a calm look, “among the people who play the code, you’re one of the best in communication, and you’re in charge of the coordination of the operation.”Someone will send you the information about Dr. Martin at the Tampa Institute, and you'll find out what you'll use when you go to Houston."
"All right, General Kelly."The named Chinese man appears to be in his early thirties, but Kelly’s arrangement shows that he is heavily burdened by the secretary of homeland security.
In Tampa Bay, a cruise ship has just begun to set sail, and its destination is the southern city of Everglaz.
A hundred kilometres away in the wilderness, there was also a convoy heading towards the same destination.
