Chapter 309 - 304: Response_2
Mountain Eagle pushed aside Kate and walked outside, speaking to Sam, "If I were you, I’d be more cautious, because even if you succeed in the attack, you’ll still have to face the threat of mercenaries when you try to take away those important items."
Sam said with a deep voice, "Our duty is to face threats..."
Mountain Eagle smiled without saying anything but patted Sam on the arm like an old friend and said earnestly, "Good luck!"
Sam, a mature Commander, could of course sense that what Mountain Eagle had just said was meant to sow discord between them and Kate.
He would certainly defy orders because of it, but surely it would stir doubts in his mind.
Whether becoming a security advisor to the ambassador or a member of Seal Six Team, everyone is top-notch, and it is unreasonable for me to obey your orders unconditionally; we are the ones executing the mission, so you should grant us sufficient operational freedom and ensure there is no concealment.
The consequence of this is that to gain the upper hand in the internal battle for command authority, one must enlist external forces.
Mountain Eagle and the Thai military and police they represent are there!

Mountain Eagle, appearing as the weaker party, was employing a strategy of an open conspiracy...
The moment he turned the military and police resources into a bargaining chip that could shake the internal command authority of the United States, Kate and Seal Six Team would surely become divided.
