Chapter 1150 Taking over jobs for the Navy

"Presidential Medal of Freedom?" Jack asked in surprise.

He was not surprised to see Rossi in Dana Moge's office again after four weeks, but he just didn't quite understand what the medal he was talking about was.

Rossi corrected with a smile, "It is the Distinguished Presidential Medal of Freedom, with an extra blue ribbon, but this level of medal only accounts for about 4% of the entire Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded.

The last person to receive this honor was Pope John Paul II, nearly 20 years ago. ”

Jack raised his hand to signal him to wait, took out his phone and googled it before he realized that the medal Rossi was talking about was regarded as one of the highest honors that a civilian (non-military) could receive.

The only thing that can be as famous as the Presidential Medal of Freedom is the Congressional Gold Medal, but the process for the latter is extremely cumbersome and needs to be initiated by more than two-thirds of the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate and submitted to relevant committees for review.

The process for receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom is relatively simple and can be decided by the President with just one word.

More than a month has passed since the VX missile crisis occurred on Alcatraz Island, and the aftermath has gradually subsided.

General Hammer was sent to a military court, but perhaps it was to calm the morale of the military, or for other reasons. Of course, it may also be that Jack's testimony played some role.

The veteran of the battlefield was ultimately sentenced to only 20 years in prison. The "defeated" Congressional gentlemen chose to settle the matter.

The conflict between the military and the Congressmen has been going on for a long time, and Jack is now regarded as someone in the government, and does not need to be the licking dog of the Congressmen.

On the contrary, a newly promoted female senator would rush up to warm his bed from time to time, and kneeling and licking him could be regarded as a kind of boudoir fun.

Therefore, Jack finally chose to tell the truth and handed over the conversation he heard outside the guard room as testimony. General Hammer had explicitly refused to launch VX missiles, which played a key role in the final verdict.

After all, this general is affiliated with the Marine Corps, and as we all know, the "Marun" is the only force in the US military that can be used by the president without congressional approval. It is very important for the war on terrorism that may occur anytime and anywhere.

Although in fact this statement is not rigorous, in fact, in history, there has never been a president who bypassed Congress and mobilized troops privately.

After all, the United States is not a grass-roots team within a grass-roots team like the big country. It often happens that troops are "air-transported" to participate in military rebellions, or that the president rebels for some reason.

But unlike Jack's previous life, before someone traveled through time, the strategy of the United States returned to traditional great power competition from anti-terrorism operations after the Cold War, and there were fierce conflicts with a large country in the East in various fields. The first, second, third and other people regained attention and had comparable status. stable.

The international situation in this integrated world still maintains the same old operating rules. The war on terrorism is in full swing, as if it will never end.

Therefore, the Marine Corps, which has flexible configuration and is easier to use than anyone else, is still highly regarded, and has a vague taste of challenging the "third-class" army.

This time, General Hanmer set a huge trap for "Ma Run", but the cause was an old problem that the military has long criticized. In turn, it can also be said that everything happened for a reason.

Therefore, while suppressing the "fourth class people" within the military, they also took the opportunity to quarrel with the Congressmen. The light sentence imposed by the military court this time can be regarded as a disguised demonstration.

Jack was a little confused by the intricate relationships, but fortunately they had nothing to do with him. As an FBI agent, he was able to turn the tide in this incident, and the Congressional gentlemen would not vent their anger on him. On one's head.

If San Francisco was really bombed by a VX poison missile, causing large-scale civilian casualties, let alone the military and "Ma Run", even the senators who held the hearing and rejected General Hammer's request for life for his fallen soldiers would not It's equally hard to blame.

Only when some things happen, will the superior men be touched and make some small changes. This is the same everywhere

Goolsby, who had just finished his honeymoon, also received a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Unlike Jack, the word "outstanding" was missing from the title of his medal, but the gold content was equally high. The SEALs probably won't be able to escape with a Navy Cross. Jason may even receive the Navy Medal of Honor issued by Congress. The military will only be more generous to its own people.

"So you flew from Los Angeles to New York just to inform me that I got a medal?" Jack asked curiously.

"Of course, this is a great honor." Rossi winked slyly.

Jack thought he was talking nonsense, "Come on, let's get down to business."

Of course Rossi knew that his beloved disciple didn't care about such things, so he smiled and talked about the real purpose of his trip.

"The Navy Department hopes to get assistance from the FBI. Their chief of criminal investigations is overloaded with time, and the field agents have not been on vacation for a long time."

"NCIS is too busy?" Jack expressed disbelief. Jethro Gibbs was not the kind of character who easily asked for help.

"Yesterday, a car bomb exploded outside an office building in the Navy compound. The news is still under lockdown, but NCIS is now busy taking care of itself."

Rossi's words shocked Jack, "The NCIS office was bombed? Who did it? Was anyone injured?"

The smile faded from Rossi's face, and the old man nodded with a heavy expression, "The outer wall of the building was seriously damaged, and there were many casualties in the Navy Department, including some minor injuries in Gibbs' field team. < br>


However, the damage to their crime lab was minor, and your little goth lover was unhurt. ”

"Abby is just my high school classmate. I remained pure until I was 20 years old."

Jack's words of defense made Rosie suddenly realize, "So, Ms. Anderson or Hannah, which one of them is the lucky one?"

"Of course it is." Jack stopped the car in time, almost being tricked by this old man.

"So, what price did you sell our group for this time?" Jack forcefully changed the subject.

"It's just cooperation." Rossi said as if he disliked someone for being too philistine. "The Navy hopes that your team can accept some cases with ambiguous jurisdiction for a long time.

In exchange, the Most Wanted Team shouldn't have to worry about fuel money for your Bombardier business jet these years. ”

"If I remember correctly, it was agreed before that the crew and maintenance of the business jet would be borne by the bureau, so we took over the International Department's case." Jack said angrily.

"But now the International Department has officially come under the jurisdiction of the New York Office. In other words, your budget and theirs are now under the New York Office's name."

Rossi looked like she was worried about her old lover, "Just think of it as a favor. It's already been negotiated above. Even if you don't take it, these cases will be assigned to other teams in the bureau, but NCIS is more I hope you will take over.”

Yes, helping others caused trouble before. Jack could probably guess that this request was probably made by Gibbs. The abacus was really striking.

"Okay, just think of it because the navy has helped a lot before." Jack finally reluctantly agreed.
