7 Conference (2/2)
All the commanders sitting inside stood the moment he arrived and saluted him when he got to the main seat. ”Sit” that's all he said. The commanders sit down on their chairs and the atmosphere got even heavier. The General took his cap off and revealed his black hair. Out of everyone present, he is the youngest and also holds most authority. He could launch a Nuke anytime he wants if he feels like it.
The commanders could feel that he was very angry just by his look. Of course he is! Soldiers dying in battle is one thing because they fight with their lives, but civilians who trusts the Military to protect them also died, he was about to put the one responsible for this on a stake or crucifix them on the dessert.
He said in a cold tone, ”Explain!”. The commanders became stiff. Even though they are older than him, they still respect and obey him. Getting the title ”The General” is not an easy feat.
Gord got spoke, ”General, it seems that the ones who attacked the city was not with the AFF or any other rebel forces”. The General just closed his eyes to listen and didn't speak nor did anyone. Gord continued, ”The insurgents came in as tourists and got in contact with the weapon smugglers and got some ARs and UN peacekeeping force load out in their hands and disguised themselves as UN force and launched a surprise attack on three places inside the city and caught our men off guard”.
Eric finally opened his eyes and said, ”So you are saying that some terrorists entered our territory as a tourists and launched a surprise attack and killed hundreds yet we didn't even know about it till the last minute?”. His words were simple, but they carried heavy weight. The commanders didn't even know how to reply for his question. They were careless to let terrorists inside and even let them get weapons on their hands. It was their mistake that caused hundreds of lives.
Eric sighed and said, ”We can't do anything about it now and don't let something like this happen in the future, now what do we know about this group?”. Gord said, ”As I said, these guys are not affiliated with any rebel group and their main goal should have been to make our relation with the UN worse because we are the next powerful country after UN in Africa, so to make the both of us fight will be profitable for many powers but we just don't know who did this”.
Eric started to dwell in thoughts as to who and why would someone wants them to goto war with the UN. Gord nodded his head and his assistant gave him an envelop. Gord passed it to Eric's assistant and he gave it to him.
”That envelope contains a badge and everyone from that terrorist group had one like that with them, we don't know what that means but we are still trying our best in searching” Gord said. Eric opened it and took out the badge and he was shocked. The commanders couldn't believe they are seeing a shocked expression on Eric's face. He is their General! General of MGU! For him to be shocked means this is not going good.
Eric then gritted his teeth and hit the desk, ”We had a non-aggression pact! Yet they still disobey it!” he murmured to himself. The sector commanders heard him and were confused, what treaty was he talking about? Eric then calmed down and asked for some water. His assistant immediately got him a water bottle and he gulped down half the bottle.
He then looked at his Weblink and closed his eyes. The commanders didn't even know what happened but they know that it's not something good.
Soon, his assistant's Weblink rang and he whispered something to Eric's ear. Eric nodded his head and soon the huge screen lit up and divided into several monitors showing the powerful people on the world with their Generals and ministers. United states of America, Russia, China, India, British, France, Korea, Japan, Germany and the UN. Everyone of them had an uneasy face.
They accepted the call from MGU and showed their face not because of respect but because of fear. MGU has enough nukes to make America next Chernobyl or level Russia three feet into the ground and most of all, MGU didn't sign the Non Nuclear pact with the UN because they are not a member of the UN.
Eric said, ”Now that everyone is here let's begin this meeting”. The presidents maintained their grim look and didn't utter a single word. Eric smiled and said, ”Now I believe that everyone here knows about the attack that happened in one of our city inside ”our” border with UN outfit, we could use this as a reason to declare war on the UN”. The UN president said, ”But I believe that you should have known that we are not responsible for this, we are hoping for a cooperation between us, not war”.
Eric smiled, ”Well I agree I do know that the UN is not the source but that doesn't mean you might not be the one who hired them to attack us, am I right?” he said. The UN president was starting to sweat a bit and looked very uneasy.
Eric smiled and took out the badge, ”The main culprit of this attack will be found when we directly ask the ones who attacked” he showed the symbol on the badge. They all looked confused, ”What is that badge for?” president of US asked. Eric smiled and said, ”Now I'm sure that all your intelligence know about the word ”Ghosts” do they not?”.
The mics have been turned off and they spoke within themselves. They turned on the mics again and US president said, ”Yes, they are on their tail now but what does that have to do with this badge or the attack on Mozambique?”.
Eric replied, ”Mister president, your CIA knows them only for being capable of collecting valuable information with ease but what they got wrong is, they are not doing that for their own, they do that for their clients”. All the intelligence organizations chiefs were shocked when they heard it. Till now they thought that no one apart from them knows about Ghosts or what they do, but to think the General of MGU to know some information about them is a total shock to them. This kid got hold of the thing they were looking for like dogs.
The chief of CIA asked, ”By for clients, what do you mean?”. Eric smiled, ”You intelligence all think that ”Ghosts” are some organization with a huge backing and all but in truth, they are nothing but a Mercenary organization with around one thousand personal capable of getting done anything and won't rat out their clients even if they fail”. Everyone were shocked! Just a random Mercenary organization? Just a Mercenary organization is capable of breaking into any system or take out an elite team or steal anything? Eric James Smith just rocked the world of intelligence with a huge bomb.
