The daily life of American TV agents

Chapter 480 Unpleasant Fishing and New Positions
"No, what movie is that?" Sheldon asked strangely.

When Ron heard the words, he almost couldn't control himself to growl: God, I don't bring such things when I play, do I?He just finished fighting the robots of the future, so he won't be allowed to fight dinosaurs now, right? !

What are you kidding?Ron really couldn't imagine taking Sheldon to Jurassic Park like going to Disneyland. The picture was so beautiful that he didn't dare to look at it.

"It's nothing, that's the plot of the movie I conceived in my mind. You know I've been wanting to write a script and make it into a movie recently." Ron hurriedly drank Coke to cover up the abnormality.

"If you are interested, you can go to Bernadette's laboratory. Their company seems to be conducting genetic research on paleontology recently. I heard that it seems to use DNA extracted from dinosaur blood in mosquitoes in amber as a sample, and then other Part of it is supplemented with genes such as frogs and crocodiles. If it weren't for their company not allowing outsiders to enter and leave, I really want to see how the progress is..."

Sheldon said to himself, completely oblivious to the fact that Ron was lying on the sofa in a daze.

Forget it, anyway, no matter how powerful dinosaurs are, they still can’t break away from the category of carbon-based creatures. Even if one bullet can’t kill them, if they fire a few more rounds, after finishing one magazine, they still can’t kill a Tyrannosaurus rex.

"Ron, I have your call." Leonard, with a few big lipstick marks on his face, took a wireless phone from the next door.

Eating and drinking is only a secondary purpose. Ron spends time with Sheldon every day, mainly to make room for the newly married couple. No way, who made Sheldon such a giant baby?Can't get by without Leonard.

Because Leonard mentioned that he wanted to swap with Ron and move to live with Penny, Sheldon played a full temper for two days, and he locked everything related to Leonard in the apartment Get up and make the apartment the way it was before Leonard moved in.

If you want Ron to say that Leonard and Penny are just looking for sex, Sheldon and Leonard are true love. Of course, if Dan is included, who is Sheldon's Dan or Leonard? Destiny's Lady" is really hard to say.

"Hello, who is it?"

Ron asked carelessly, but after the phone started to speak, his cynical attitude disappeared immediately, and he sat up from the sofa suddenly, replaced by caution and caution.

"...No problem...I see...Don't worry, I will definitely go tomorrow..."

It was the first time Leonard had seen Ron look so serious, and couldn't help poking Sheldon: "Who is your brother calling?"

"From his actions and demeanor when answering the phone, it can be judged that this is a person he does not want to contact very much, but has to contact, and the way they get along makes him very uncomfortable, so... I judge that he must be with the anorectal The doctor called, by the way, he must be making an appointment for an anorectal examination!"

Sheldon said proudly that just at this time Ron's phone call ended, Leonard simply asked Ron directly, and by the way told Sheldon's guess: "Did Sheldon guess right?"

"That's right, he's almost like an anorectal doctor. Anyway, if they do the same thing, they deal with dirty things every day."

Sheldon puffed out his chest proudly.

"Who the hell is that?" Leonard was completely confused by this ambiguous statement.

"The current president, Francis Underwood, President Frank, he asked me to go fishing tomorrow." Ron said helplessly.

Seeing the president may be regarded as an honor in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not a good thing for Ron. He knows very well what he has done.

Not long ago, Peck was released by him secretly. By the way, that kid disclosed the US government's surveillance plan as soon as he escaped to Europe. Now the whole world is suspicious of electronic equipment related to the United States and the US government. They are spying on themselves through these electronic devices, in fact, of course they are right to be suspicious.

The attack on Fort Detrick, which was planned by Ron before, was considered treason from any angle.

Therefore, when Ron was summoned by the president, he always felt guilty.

But fortunately, Ron has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, so there will not be any flaws on the surface.

"Oh, my dear little wolf cub," Frank gave Ron a big hug as soon as he met him, and hugged him and introduced to the people around him: "Donald, you should have heard of it. The IRS wolf of the new tax records, the hero of the Treasury Department, if we had a few more tax collectors like him, the financial situation must be much better than it is now."

"Hello, Mr. Vice President." Ron politely reached out and shook Donald's hand.

Donald Bryce, Frank's vice president, in Frank's words, is the one who comes to the office every morning to see if he has a chance to be a fake man, and the most embarrassing person in the entire White House.

Unlike other presidential systems, the vice president of the United States does not have any real power in his hands. He only has the right to temporarily replace the poor spare tire when he dies in the presidency.

So far, there have been 48 vice presidents in the history of the United States, but only 8 have succeeded in sitting on the presidential throne that symbolizes supreme power due to various reasons.

Probably this Donald also knew that he was not very popular, so he found a reason to leave after a few simple greetings, leaving time for Ron and Frank.

"Nice job, Ron, I thought you would be a little rusty with fishing, an old man's trick. I didn't expect that you are also very good at this. Look, how many fish you have caught! We will definitely have a good dinner tonight." Satisfy your taste buds."

Frank patted Ron's arm with great affinity. Anyone who can become the president is at least the best in terms of affinity.

"Maybe it's because I'm lucky today." Ron looked at Frank's bucket. There were only three pitiful fish in it. The two of them obviously used the same fishing rod and the same bait, and their positions were not too far apart.

The reason for this difference, if it wasn't that Frank specially arranged for people to lift them underwater and hang fish on his fishing rod, there is only one reason, that is, Frank can't calm down.

Ron simply hung the fishing rod on the shelf: "I guess you specially found me from Los Angeles, it must not be as simple as just fishing with you?"

"Haha, I was discovered by you," Frank continued to fish, a bright light flashed in his eyes, but was immediately covered up: "What do you think of defense contractors?"

"Defense contractors? You mean the mercenaries?"

Frank nodded.

"I don't think so about them, or rather hate them." Ron thought for a moment and said seriously, "Although they have good combat effectiveness, and they don't need to be paid after they die, and they don't need to be counted in the casualties of the US military. His military report will look much better when it is published in the media."

"However, their military discipline is too lax. Sexual assaults, torture of prisoners, massacre of civilians... all kinds of negative news emerge in an endless stream. They have caused more trouble in the past few years than the US military combined in the past ten years."

"I think the same as you, what do you think of me canceling all private contracting contracts?" Frank continued.

Not long ago, the mercenaries of the Blackwater Company reported the biggest scandal in history on the battlefield in the Middle East, and it was reported by the media of various countries, which aroused various anti-war organizations to denounce it in turn.

In order to calm down the incident, Frank directly announced the cancellation of the cooperation agreement with all mercenary companies.

This issue is a bit out of line. Although Ron has his own views on this issue, he will not show it: "I think it is better for you to discuss this issue with the Secretary of State or the generals of the Pentagon. I am just a small Agent, you can only do some tax collection work."

Several major military contractors in the United States, such as Blackwater, Salient, etc., are backed by strong capital and the support of military bosses. Ron doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

This is a large interest group, and it is directly linked to the military, and there are even faint shadows of those big arms companies. Ron is not stupid enough to trouble them.

It is enough to bully financiers or technology company bosses at ordinary times, but to fight against arms companies, what are you kidding?They really have missiles in their hands!
"You are still as cautious as ever. Now that I have done this, I will not regret it. If I don't do this, it will be difficult for me to maintain the current approval rate. I don't want to lose in the re-election campaign."

Frank was as confident as ever: "I came to you to talk to you about another matter. Are you interested in changing to a new job?"

"What new job? Tell me about it?"

"How about the chief of the Secret Service?" Frank looked at Ron with a stern look.

The U.S. Secret Service is a law enforcement agency of the U.S. federal government and is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.The main responsibility of the agency is to prevent and investigate counterfeiting of U.S. dollars and bonds, but the more important duty is to protect the personal safety of the president, vice president, and elected persons and their families.

In other words, it can be regarded as a bodyguard agency that also performs investigative work. Therefore, in this position, the president can directly appoint the person he trusts most without listening to anyone's opinion.

Before March 2003, 3, the Secret Service was part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, so there were still a large number of personnel from the former Department of the Treasury. It was not too outrageous for Ron to jump from the IRS to the Secret Service.

However, entering the Secret Service at this time is not an option.

Ron frowned and looked at the Secret Service agents who were guarding in the distance: "Why not choose Mike? Mike is doing a good job now. I heard that he has been working as a bodyguard for so many years, and he has never made any mistakes. Mistakes, I think, no one would have a problem with a Secret Service chief of his caliber."

Frank stared at the back: "Of course I know that Mike has done a good job, but in my heart, you are the No.1 choice for this job, and I trust you more. And your strength, if you can establish If it is a security company, I will definitely sign a contract with you as soon as possible."

Ron thought, Frank's words had two meanings.

The first is naturally to hope that Ron will be the head of the Secret Service. After all, Ron's strength is obvious to all, and his group of outstanding subordinates are enough to protect the safety of anyone.

The second is that there is a faint hint. Mercenaries are such easy-to-use temporary workers. Even a smart president would not really want to give up. What Frank wants to do is not to drive away the mercenaries completely, but to sign the contract with the US military. The mercenaries were replaced by their own people.

It sounds like he should be the white glove he chose.

This is an opportunity, but it also contains huge risks. Another person may agree to it immediately. After all, war is the most profitable business in the world. In this regard, the profitability of drugs is far inferior.

May I ask which mercenary company signed a contract with the Pentagon that didn't start with a billion or billions of dollars?This is wealth that many people can't earn in a few lifetimes, but Ron is an exception.

What are you kidding?Being a bodyguard for someone is not as comfortable as being his local emperor in Los Angeles?
Not only is there no one to care about, but he can also take a holiday whenever he wants, not to mention that if he earns a lot, he must spend his life. Ron doesn't want to go to war with the behemoth of the military-industrial complex.

At least not now.

Ron shook his head and rejected this very tempting proposal: "Forget it, you should find someone else, you know my character, I am more suitable for destroying, not suitable for protecting others, I can give you the most effective The best way to protect you is to not let you ride in an open car, Mr. President, I think you can talk to Mike."

"Okay," Frank nodded regretfully. "There are too few fish here. I'm going to try my luck in the lake. I'm going to call Mike. Would you like to come with me?"

"I won't go, I hope you have fun." Ron shook his head.

Next, it should be a conversation between Frank and Mike. Frank just asked politely, and he didn't need to participate.

"Command, central and interior area security."

"A14 area is safe, external safety, everything is normal..."

A few helicopters passed over Ron's head, and they started reconnaissance nearby. These are the forces of the Secret Service. As long as he just nodded, these will be under his command, but Ron doesn't regret it.

However, what no one knew was that when President Frank was worried about the position of the director of his Secret Service, two nanny cars with obvious traces of modification drove up in the dense forest by the lake at some point.

Two men who wrapped their whole bodies in dustproof suits got out of the car. They opened the back door of one of the nanny cars, and a strange launcher composed of multiple tubes protruded from the back door of the car.

At this time, neither Ron, who was sitting by the lake fishing, nor the Secret Service agents who were chatting and laughing as usual, were unaware of the imminent danger.

"The action begins." The man in the dustproof suit patted his companion and pressed the remote control in his hand.

"What's that? Is it a bat?" An agent pointed suspiciously at the dense black dots that were flying in the sky.
