Chapter 1004 - 1001: Lin Chuan in Crisis
"Gentlemen, quiet down." Omama finally spoke.
The crowd instantly quieted down.
At this moment, Omama said, "Lin Chuan is indeed a remarkable person, a capable person. I've observed his operations multiple times, and his actions have demonstrated his extraordinary qualities. Although I do not know how China managed to groom him into such an outstanding elite soldier, I believe if given the chance, we should find a way to recruit him."
"Your Excellency, President!" The United States Army Commander was anxious.
"Hear me out." Omama began, "If Lin Chuan is unwilling to work for us, then we'll send him to a military tribunal and through the tribunal trial, we'll send him to the electric chair. We absolutely cannot allow him to leave alive. Lin Chuan alone is enough to rival a powerful army. We cannot allow such a formidable person to exist. Previously, we lacked the opportunity to bring him to trial, but this time, the chance has arrived, and we must seize it firmly."
"Yes!" The Army Commander immediately nodded.
The crowd, upon hearing this, thought this idea was indeed good.
At this moment, Omama asked, "When can Lin Chuan be brought to Washington?"
"In five hours," the Army Commander responded, "Our transport aircraft is already en route, and in five hours, it will arrive in Washington. At that time, Your Excellency, the President, you will be able to meet him."
"Very well." Omama seemed slightly excited.
Indeed, capturing such a formidable opponent excited him. Of course, successfully recruiting Lin Chuan and making him work for him excited him even more. Actually, Omama had extended an olive branch to Lin Chuan much earlier, but Lin Chuan had repeatedly declined.
This time, with Lin Chuan's fate in his hands, it is presumed Lin Chuan could be persuaded to submit. As long as he agrees to adopt U.S. citizenship, Omama would agree to any conditions.
After a round of discussion, Omama announced the meeting adjourned.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Everson from the Intelligence Agency chose to stay behind.
"Mr. Everson, why haven't you left?" Omama asked.
"Your Excellency, the President, do you genuinely intend to execute Lin Chuan?" Everson asked.
"If he is willing to adopt U.S. citizenship, of course, I won't execute him." Omama smiled.
"And if he doesn't?" Everson pursued.
"Then I absolutely will not allow a powerful enemy to exist." Omama sneered, "Currently, the international situation is tense, and nobody knows when a war might break out. Once war erupts, Lin Chuan will become a demon by our side. He is like a phantom, able to penetrate any defense line. Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course, I'm afraid." Everson chuckled, "But, if Lin Chuan is killed, it will inevitably spark a war, that's for sure."
"This…" Omama hesitated.
"Instead, we can propose conditions to China." Everson smiled, "We can absolutely let China make the difficult decision. I believe Beijing will surely give us a satisfactory answer, won't they?"
"Why?" Omama asked.
"Any negotiation is merely for interests." Everson laughed, "If Lin Chuan is truly killed, not only do we not gain anything, but we also offend an Eastern power, which is very disadvantageous for us."
"So…" Omama furrowed his brow.
"Yes!" Everson nodded, "We can propose any condition to them, however shameless or brazen it might be. I believe Beijing wouldn't dare to casually clash with us."
Omama promptly laughed, with significant implications: "Great! Let's proceed as you suggested."
......
Afghanistan, Abbas Town.
Silver Fox was brought back to the camp by Fire Fox because Fire Fox's team knew that with just over a hundred people, they couldn't possibly rival those several hundred American soldiers. Furthermore, the enemy had watchtowers, machine gun fortresses, and many other setups.
In Abbas Town, Silver Fox received medical treatment, the bullet in her back was extracted, the wound was sutured, and disinfectant was applied.
After resting overnight, Silver Fox finally awakened from sleep.
"Where is Lin Chuan?" The first words Silver Fox uttered upon waking concerned Lin Chuan.
Beside her, White Fox was holding a basin of clean water and said, "Big sister, we just received intel, bad news!"
"What?" Silver Fox instantly felt dizzy. If White Fox described it as bad news, what could it be? She hastily asked, "Has Lin Chuan been killed by the Americans?"
"No!" Silver Fox shook her head and said, "Lin Chuan has been captured by the Americans."
"What?! Silver Fox exclaimed, "Quick, take some people to rescue him."
"Big sis, I'm afraid Lin Chuan has already been taken to Washington." Silver Fox said through gritted teeth, "Last night, he was already taken by the Americans' transport plane to the United States. We need to carefully discuss how to take action."
"Oh my God!" Silver Fox felt a wave of dizziness.
Lin Chuan was actually captured? And taken to the United States, no less. This news hit her like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Silver Fox was almost dumbfounded. If Lin Chuan were still in Kabul, she would still have a chance to rescue him. After all, she had a few thousand soldiers under her command. If Lin Chuan were still in Kabul, Silver Fox could go against the world and compete with the Americans, even ignoring their warnings and threats against Fire Fox being listed as a terrorist organization. She would deploy thousands of warriors to directly capture the main American base in Afghanistan.
But now, she had no chance; Lin Chuan had already been taken to Washington.
"What should we do?" Silver Fox was almost on the verge of fainting.
"Big sis, don't panic!" White Fox hurriedly comforted her and then seriously said, "Panicking won't solve anything. We need to think of a way to rescue Lin Chuan."
"Is Lin Chuan already in the United States?" Silver Fox quickly asked.
"Even if he's not, he should be tens of thousands of meters in the air by now." White Fox replied, then continued, "Intercepting mid-air is impossible; we can only rescue him in the United States. I've already instructed the members on U.S. soil to keep an eye on the American actions and to always know Lin Chuan's location."
"Hmm." Silver Fox nodded, "I need to go to the United States immediately."
"Big sis, don't be hasty!" White Fox quickly calmed Silver Fox and said, "Let's not take immediate action. Knowing Americans, they wouldn't just kill Lin Chuan outright. They might try to recruit Lin Chuan or make him work for them."
"Lin Chuan definitely won't agree." Silver Fox shook her head, she knew Lin Chuan too well.
"If Lin Chuan doesn't agree, then the Americans definitely won't let him leave the United States alive." White Fox said, squinting her eyes, "But they won't kill him in secret; they'd do it openly, even announcing it to the world to show they aren't afraid of Lin Chuan's strong background and won't release him without trial. Instead, they'll make an example of Lin Chuan to showcase their democracy and human rights. So, this time Lin Chuan is in danger."
"They wouldn't dare!" Silver Fox was furious upon hearing this, "If the Americans dare to kill Lin Chuan, even if it costs everything from Fire Fox, I'll throw the United States into chaos."
"Perhaps it's just my speculation." White Fox said helplessly.
"Let's hope so!" Silver Fox sat in her chair, still feeling waves of pain.
......
The news of Lin Chuan's capture quickly spread through various national intelligence agencies. The Americans had always been ostentatious in capturing people. Especially capturing someone like Lin Chuan, which made them quite pleased as if they wanted to send a warning to Beijing.
After all, Lin Chuan was a member of the Dark Soldier, and even the captain of the team, so the Americans were eager to announce it to the world.
In Beijing.
The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Li Xiangguo, received the news, his face changed dramatically. He quickly drove from the agency's headquarters on the Third Ring Road to the Second Ring Road as fast as he could, practically racing. Upon arriving at the General's Mansion, he didn't even park his car properly but rushed inside.
At that moment, inside the General's Mansion, the old General, Chen Zhenguo, was practicing calligraphy in the hall. His vigorous strokes appeared quite extraordinary. On the table, xuan paper was spread, with brush, ink, paper, and inkstone prepared, and a guard next to him was grinding ink.
"Oh, my dear old commander, you still have the mood to practice calligraphy." Li Xiangguo entered anxiously.
"What's the matter?" the old general asked, puzzled.
"Something big happened, something major." Li Xiangguo said anxiously.
"What major thing could happen?" The old general laughed and said, "Even if the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. Why worry yourself?"
"How can I not worry?" Li Xiangguo said helplessly, "You'll probably be more worried than I am!"
"Go ahead, what's the matter!" The old general picked up his brush, ready to write a calligraphy piece with four characters: 'Loyalty to the Sovereign'. He had already written 'Loyalty to', just about to write 'Love' when Li Xiangguo hurriedly said, "Old General, Lin Chuan has been captured by the Americans and jailed. How can you not be concerned?"
Plop!
Suddenly, the brush in Li Xiangguo's hand fell onto the xuan paper, and when the word 'Love' was halfway written, the brush dropped, and a puddle of ink completely covered half of the character.
"What did you say?" The old general looked at Li Xiangguo in shock.
"Yes." Li Xiangguo looked at the old general seriously and said, "That kid Lin Chuan launched an assault on the American camp in Afghanistan and was captured by them."
"Impossible!" The old general shook his head, "That kid Lin Chuan is so clever and strong. Even a thousand American soldiers shouldn't be able to catch him."
