Chapter 218 217 Benjamin's Whereabouts

Chapter 218 217. Benjamin's whereabouts

The office building of the "Transition Committee" is located in the center of Mexico City, opposite the majestic Puchartique Park.

At this moment, Lu Li and Jessica came by car to attend the meeting convened by the lady.

The security here is strict, and the guards in suits and leather shoes, carrying HK416 automatic rifles, scan the surroundings with cold eyes.

This is the special guard newly formed by the lady. Each of them has been destroyed by drug lords, and their loyalty is highly guaranteed.

But being free of worries also adds a bit of rebelliousness. Some people did not restrain themselves when looking at Lu Li, and their eyes were full of scrutiny and questioning.

Lu Li did not care, just like seeing a friend's dog, as long as it doesn't bark, no matter how serious it is, it's nothing more than fun.

He took Jessica upstairs calmly and came to the bright conference room on the top floor.

There were about 20 people sitting at the conference table, including Ms. Maria, Theresa, and Aurora.

The remaining people were not simple either. They were all the core of the transition committee and the cabinet members nominated by the lady.

At this moment, Ms. Maria was the first to stand up and greet him:

"Lu Li, I'm glad you can come to the meeting. Let me introduce you..."

The lady introduced the future ministers of the interior, foreign affairs, defense, navy and other departments in turn.

According to international etiquette, the venerable has the priority to know, and the one who is introduced first has a lower status.

Several senior officials were dissatisfied, thinking that Lu Li was at best a powerful military leader, and it was not appropriate to be ranked in front of a group of cabinet ministers.

But this was a spontaneous action of the lady, and they couldn't say anything, just frowned.

However, there were also three people who were particularly enthusiastic.

First was the Minister of the Interior.

This person was a campaign assistant who followed from Tijuana and knew Lu Li's ability well.

He also knew that the lady had called people here for important matters today, so of course he didn't dare to be arrogant.

The second person was the Minister of Defense "Collena".

He had just been saved by Lu Li, so he was naturally very enthusiastic at this time. And the "license" was so quickly obtained, and this person also contributed to it.

The third person was the Minister of the Navy, the former Marine Corps Colonel "Garcia".

The two sides had gotten along well before and knew Lu Li's ability, so they naturally greeted him with a smile and shook hands for a long time.

After the introduction, Ms. Maria smiled and said:

"Your 'license' is ready, let Theresa take Miss Jessica to apply for it."

Lu Li nodded, and Jessica went with Theresa.

Ms. Maria said again:

"Thank you for your dedication all the time. I promise you that Shenlong Company will undertake some national defense projects."

The most profitable thing for military companies is not charging into battle, but logistics projects such as construction and training, which is the real sense of lying down and making money.

Ms. Maria's preferential treatment has caused some cabinet ministers to start to murmur.

Especially some who joined later and knew Lu Li only by hearsay, they looked even more unpredictable.

And courtesy must be for something, Lu Li already knew in his heart: it seems that the lady has encountered big trouble again.

What happened next was just as he thought.

The meeting started quickly, and Ms. Maria first introduced the situation:

"Thanks to Lu Li's previous righteous act, we captured Kalet alive, and used the intelligence from him to intimidate the current Minister of Defense..."

Like all meetings, it started with good news.

Then, Ms. Maria changed the subject:

"But through the interrogation, we also learned another piece of news - the major drug cartels will join forces to launch a riot that will sweep across the country before the inauguration!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces froze.

Ms. Maria's policy clearly stated the fight against crime, and the drug lords must unite to make a scene to hinder her from taking office.

After a moment of silence, the Minister of Security said:

"The garrison is enough to ensure the safety of the capital. We can hold on until after the inauguration, and then start negotiations with them."

This is to wait until the power is in your hands before slowly mediating.

This plan was immediately approved by most cabinet ministers, who spoke out in support.

"A wise choice."

"We must quickly mobilize the most elite troops to protect the capital!"

...

But some people disagreed. Navy Minister Garcia and Defense Minister Colena shouted:

"Are we going to do nothing and watch the country and the people fall into riots!"

Hearing this, the head of tourism, education, etc. immediately retorted:

"The government army is no match for the drug lords' armed forces. Do you have any solution?"

"Negotiation is not shameful. The previous government also surrendered to the drug lords."

"In most cases, we can only pray for God's blessing."

...

This group of people argued for a long time, and Lu Li was quite bored.

After all, it is a small country, and the powerful have no bottom line at all, greedy and stupid.

But there are also people with deep scheming who look at Ms. Maria and think that this woman will not give in so easily.

At this moment, Ms. Maria knocked on the table lightly to stop the argument.

After everyone looked over, she said:

"Gentlemen, I don't intend to negotiate with the drug lords. They have been arrogant for too long, it's time to pay the price!"

"But..."

The lady showed a tough attitude, but toughness is based on strength, and many cabinet ministers are hesitant.

Ms. Maria did not give them a chance to speak, and immediately said to Lu Li solemnly:

"I need your strength, please fight for the country!"

This situation is quite strange... A Franji descendant asked a Xia descendant to fight for a foreign land.

Lu Li said calmly: "I am happy to eradicate the drug lords."

Lu Li had no sense of belonging to this land. He just wanted to hunt, that's all.

But that's enough, both sides have the same goal.

Maria nodded and said to all the cabinet members:

"Please come up with a plan as soon as possible to minimize the losses caused by the riot."

No one wanted to inherit a mess, so a bunch of bureaucrats took over.

Ms. Maria stood up and called Lu Li to another separate room.

Theresa and Jessica were also here, and Jessica flashed a thick document bag in her hand to indicate that the "permit" was in hand.

Within a minute, Aurora, Garcia, and Colina all came over.

Now there are people in the room who can be absolutely trusted. Ms. Maria said directly:

"The intelligence obtained from the interrogation of Kalet allowed us to identify the current Minister of Defense. He has dealings with multiple drug trafficking groups, and we got this from him!"

The lady waved her hand, Aurora took out a satellite phone and continued:

"This is an encrypted phone number used by the Secretary of Defense to communicate with Benjamin himself. Benjamin doesn't know that the phone is in our hands yet. As long as he dials it, we can locate its location!"

Lu Li's eyes lit up: "In other words... can we find this person?"

"That's right!" Ms. Maria nodded:

“By getting rid of him, not only will there be one less enemy, but other drug trafficking groups will also be busy fighting for territory and will no longer care about launching riots.

But Benjamin was very cautious, and he was surrounded by a guard composed of tens of thousands of elite soldiers. I want to ask, can you complete this difficult task? "

Lu Li was not afraid of any difficulty, he just thought that there were not enough people on the other side, and now he just lacked the soul to drive the Terminator.

"As long as the intelligence is accurate, I am 100% sure to eliminate this person."

"Very good!" Ms. Maria took a deep breath: "Then let's get started!"

Garcia and Colina, the two cabinet ministers, looked at each other and sighed in unison at this crazy action... to hunt a "king"!
