Chapter 1623 This TM is going to make an international joke!
"Good evening, grandma, how are you doing recently..."
Seeing the grandmother who brought the maid to open the door for him, Andy smiled and gave him a big hug, greeting him with concern.
"Everything is good." Looking at his increasingly handsome and strong grandson, I was filled with emotion. The gloomy and thinness that used to be seemed like a nightmare. "Andy, grandma is so proud of you."
"Thank you, grandma." Andy took grandma's arm intimately and walked towards the living room of the mansion. As for the secret service staff in black coats standing around the door of the mansion, they stared at Andy Smith's security team led by Martin with vigilant scrutiny.
But Martin and other bodyguards seemed to have no sense at all. They followed the boss and walked into the mansion under the gaze of the secret service staff, completely ignoring them. Their only job was to protect Andy Smith's safety at all times.
Andy and grandma walked into the living room while talking and laughing, and saw seven or eight elite men dressed in suits and tie standing up from their respective seats and greeting Andy.
"Good evening, Mr. Smith."
......
Andy just smiled calmly and nodded to the people, saying, "Good evening, everyone."
"Okay, your grandfather entertains guests in the study. You go there first, speak well, keep restrained, and don't be rude."
Knowing that something big happened, otherwise a group of politicians would have gathered in her house and destroyed her family time.
Especially when she knew that these politicians and generals came for their grandsons, she was even more surprised.
"Don't worry, grandma, then I'll go up first. I'll chat with you later." Andy smiled and kissed grandma's cheek to comfort her.
"Haha, okay, by the way, if you want coffee and tea, I'll have someone to deliver it to you later."
"coffee..."
Andy smiled and walked up the stairs with brisk steps. Seeing four special service personnel standing in the corridor on the second floor, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, guessing what big shots came to the "party" tonight.
"Dongdong--"
"Please come in."
Andy, who was calm and smiling, pushed the door open and decorated the classical and spacious study room. Old Smith was crossing his legs and lit a cigar and sat on a large, single sofa in a comfortable position.
Other large and soft sofas were also filled with people. Everyone sat in a comfortable and relaxed posture, smoking a cigar, and the sky was filled with smoke. There was a smile on each face. It seemed that they were very happy when they chatted before.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on his face, Andy saw a few familiar faces, his eyes lit up slightly. While he was a little surprised, he quickly felt relieved that Ilake's problem was no longer a problem of a certain person or a small group. At this time, it had become the entry point for the two parties to confront each other.
Former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, current Defense Secretary Gates, Army General Tommy Franks, former U.S. Supreme Military Chief of Iraq Four-Star General Abizaid, former U.S. Supreme Civilian Chief Executive Bremer, former U.S. Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army in Iraq General Franks, former General Ghana, who was in charge of Iraq's reconstruction work, and several Elephant Party bosses gathered together.
It's really a star shining!
After Andy shook hands and greeted the generals and the bosses one by one, although everyone smiled, they were in different moods. After sitting down with flashing eyes, Old Smith looked at Andy sitting opposite him and asked with a smile: "Is the work going well?"
"It's very smooth." Andy nodded and smiled. The news of his acquisition of Qualcomm has continued to occupy the headlines for a period of time. Old Smith is naturally very concerned. After all, the chip technology mastered by Qualcomm is a high-end technology, both at the national level and at the enterprise level.
Everyone here listened to the brief communication between the grandfather and grandson. The current Secretary of Defense Gates, who had a somewhat ugly expression, looked at the time and looked at Old Smith with a frown. His eyes signaled, hoping that Old Smith could get to the point quickly. After all, the troubles on Ilak need to be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it would be really a joke.
"Andy, do you know what happened to Ilak?"
"Hmm? What's wrong with Ilak?" Andy looked confused, as if he was a little confused about his grandfather's sudden question.
Everyone present saw Andy's unexpected and exaggerated performance, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. The faces of the US generals involved were dark, and Gates' lips were trembling unnaturally. Only former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld shook his head and laughed.
The Secretary of Defense Gates, who has lost his patience, does not want to continue watching Andy Smith pretend to be confused and goes around in circles, and said coldly: "Mr. Smith, your security company employee is in Baghdad and barbaric disarms the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 9th Infantry Regiment of the US Army and illegally seizes them. This is a provocation to the military. I ask you to release the detained US soldiers immediately and hand over the main culprit of the incident and give the military an explanation, otherwise your security company will be banned..."
Listening to Gates' cold and stiff criticism, Old Smith, who had just smiled, slowly turned cold, and glanced at Gates with a frown slightly, looking at the corners of his mouth upwards, and sneered at his grandson. Old Smith raised his hand and sucked a cigar, spit out a mouthful of smoke, and seemed to be sleepy and half closed his eyelids slightly and stopped talking.
Except Andy sneered and looked at the powerful Secretary of Defense Gates with an idiot-like look, the other generals and officials who had once stationed in Iraq all changed their faces slightly, and their eyes flashed with flashing eyes and saw concerns in each other's eyes. Gates, the idiot, seemed to mess up the matter.
"Sorry, I don't understand what the Minister said means. My Free Eagle Security Company is a legal military contracting and security company that pays taxes on time and is protected by American laws.
As for the allegations you mentioned about disarming US soldiers and illegally seizures, I have never heard of this, and I don’t believe that my employees will do such things. After all, we are a legal American company, how can we do illegal things? Besides, that’s the US military, disarming? Mr. Secretary, you are right!"
Andy's sarcasm and sarcasm made the general present look extremely exciting, and Defense Secretary Gates's face turned red, and his eyes became colder and glared at the sneer on Andy Smith's abominable handsome face.
"Whether you know or not, your company's base is surrounded in Baghdad. If the US soldiers are not released immediately, the military will take action. Once a conflict occurs, all the consequences will be fully responsible. If soldiers are injured or killed during this period, employees of the Free Eagle Company will be prosecuted for murder!"
Defense Secretary Gates said in an extremely tough attitude, his tone became colder, without any mercy.
There is no way, Gates doesn't want to offend a super rich man like Andy Smith, especially he doesn't want to offend the Smith family. However, this fact is too bad. It doesn't matter if the weird scandal of Blackwater disarming can be used as a joke and being teased. After all, two cars collided and had a car accident. One side beat the other, it can be regarded as a farce.
But the matter of the Free Eagle is not as simple as a farce. Hundreds of American soldiers and lieutenant colonels were all detained. This tm is about to make an international joke!
