Chapter 768 Everything is ready
"Although Jack's previous speculation was a bit far-fetched, it is not completely impossible. Think about it, McMay became addicted to drugs because he donated bone marrow to Pete De Leon. Later, Pete De Leon caused McMay to spend three years in prison. But by mistake, he gave up his drug addiction.
Three years later, Pete committed evil again, leaving behind evidence that led to the revelation of the truth and McMee's acquittal. Isn't this the so-called reincarnation in Eastern Buddhism? "
As a writer, Cassel has covered a wide range of things. Although he only scratches the surface, he is indeed more knowledgeable and remembers more than the average person.
"To be precise, it should be causation. Of course, I prefer the concept of 'bearing' in Taoism, which is closer to the theory of chaos."
Jack briefly explained what the natural cycle of retribution meant. Although mosquito coils appeared in the eyes of everyone present, except for Danny, most of them were at least serious college graduates, so they could generally understand it.
The influence of culture is mutual. The culture of Buddhism and Taoism is still quite popular in Europe and the United States. With the gradual rise of an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, even some things of Confucianism have gradually spread.
Of course, it is still difficult for them to understand, and they will habitually use their own thinking to try to understand some of what Confucius said, such as interpreting "Confucius said on the river: The deceased is like a man! He does not give up day and night" as " Sitting patiently on the river bank, waiting for the enemy's corpse to float by."
However, Jubal can probably understand Jack's intention to persuade him, but he just doesn't want him to overcompensate for McMay.
Jack had always emphasized that there were no problems with his previous case handling process, and even went out of his way to talk about how three years in prison was a blessing in disguise for McMahon to kick his drug addiction and start a new life. The purpose was to ease Jubal's heart. of guilt.
"I know, but I will still pay attention to him, and hope that his life will get on the right track after he is released from prison." Jubal finally untied his knot, and he could calmly drink the glass of wine with a slight aroma of wine. You can see it from the glutinous rice.
As Jack had expected, the area around New York City finally calmed down over the next month or so, and no major crimes occurred. This calm lasted until he picked up Clay and Alice from Quantico.
During this period, Jubal and Jack received a series of equipment, all sponsored by various federal departments.
First, the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) allocated a small batch of weapons and ammunition, all of which were active SEAL equipment.
For example, the Noveske N4 carbine comes standard with an EOTech EXPS3 holographic sight, an EOTech magnifier, a Mission First stock and a Dead Air Sandman-S silencer.
Jack had gotten a few of them before when he was in the BAU. This time, the military directly sent a dozen of them with accessories, as well as tens of thousands of rounds of .300 BLK bullets, and the same number of Maxim Defender SDX/ MDX 508 assault rifle.
This assault rifle with a barrel length of only 8.5 inches is compact and uses the same caliber .300 BLK bullet as the Noveske N4. It is powerful and very suitable for indoor CQB operations. Female agents like Hannah and Jiejie can also easily control it.
The wealthy IRS directly sent a mobile command vehicle manufactured by Matman using a Freightliner MT-55 truck chassis.
MT-55 is the most common chassis for large special vehicles in the United States, and the technology is so mature that most local police departments’ own fleet maintenance teams can solve all problems.
The main body of this command vehicle is an aluminum 40-foot standard container. It has a lifting mast that can rise up to 12 meters. It is equipped with 2 surveillance cameras and a full set of satellite/microwave communication systems, which can be provided in emergency situations. Emergency communications support.
The interior of the carriage is divided into several large and small cabins according to function, including conference rooms, living cabins, equipment cabins, etc. There are also two sets of side sliding compartments on both sides to expand the internal space, which can provide an additional space of nearly two meters in width. .
Since there are only seven people in the wanted criminal team, including Jack, they cannot use many of the original functions of the command vehicle. IRS has also thoughtfully made some customizations and optimizations to expand the living cabin area.
After opening the side sliding compartments on both sides of the car body, there is a conference room of nearly 8 square meters, 6 capsule beds, a relatively spacious shower room and toilet, and even a dedicated small kitchen. It can be said that this place can be used as a team member in an emergency. their temporary home.
Although the underground garage of the new office is not small, don't expect to be able to park this behemoth. Fortunately, whether it is the front yard or the backyard, it can be accommodated with a little hardening of the ground.
But before that, this luxury RV, which had been painted black and printed with various FBI letters and badges, could only be temporarily parked in the underground parking lot of the Federal Building.
Other departments are not so generous, but they have also sponsored several official vehicles. Now, two brand-new GMCs and two Saabs, plus Jack's Hellcat, fill the underground garage.
Compared to a few months ago, Clay Spencer looks the same. The "hard" training at Quantico has not affected his recovery from leg injuries. In addition to walking, he is still a little awkward. When he runs every morning, Aubrey could only follow him and eat ashes.
Alice Taylor seems to have changed a lot. Her previous experience and field agent training have changed her a lot. This single mother who was already soft on the outside but strong on the inside is now a little more heroic. The day she returned to the combat center It made all the otakus look straight in their eyes.
On the first weekend when everyone gathered together, Jack organized a party. It was different from the past because there were so many people coming this time, so he handed it over directly to a contractor who was responsible for organizing parties.
There are various companies or contractors in the United States that specialize in organizing parties, and they are even divided into special categories. Some are good at organizing children's birthday parties or teenagers' coming-of-age and graduation parties, while others focus on organizing various high-end parties for the rich. .
They can provide specialized venues, and companies of a certain size may even have full-time service staff, party bands, DJs, and party girls.
Jack found a company with a certain size. Of course, given that most of the people involved were law enforcement officers, the party girl naturally skipped the party and instead hired a team of chefs from an Italian restaurant.
In addition, the band also made a friendly guest appearance. Mike Taylor, the boss of CSI New York Laboratory, was actually the bassist in a jazz club and directly brought in a whole jazz band.
The craziest people at the scene were actually the members of SEAL Team B who came to New York for a seven-day trip in the name of sending equipment. It was obvious that they were sincerely happy that Clay could regain his "rebirth."
The end of the party also meant that the wanted criminal group was officially established. The following days were very busy, not with cases, but with internal affairs.
The new office, of course, it may be more appropriate to call it the headquarters now. It has not been tidied up after the decoration was completed. Even the monitoring and security system around the small building has only completed the hardware installation and needs some debugging before it can be used normally.
After Jubal handed over his work in the combat center, he officially took over the command from Jack. He first allocated the dormitories on the second floor of the small building. Except for Jack who checked in early, everyone else had to move some things into it.
Although not everyone needs to live in the dormitory permanently, no one likes to always sleep on the folding bed in the office when they are busy. There are many rooms upstairs, and one person can leave several guest rooms free.
In addition to the adjustments to servers and remote conferencing systems, the application for permissions to connect to various federal department databases and the ensuing piles of paperwork, and even the settings of various security access control, everyone seems to be familiar with the operation and performance of that luxury command vehicle. Everyone has endless things to do.
For a moment, the situation seemed to be getting a little urgent. Everyone had to complete all preparations before the CID (Criminal Investigation Department) issued the first official task, and then get back to their positions.
