Chapter 889: Tanker Detained

the next day.

Li Zitao made a special trip to ask people to take the twins and Elizabeth out to play. Today he will have an unforgettable two-person world with Mary.

There are no seas of flowers or balloons, attracting the attention of thousands of people.

Only the world's only special sports car parked in front of the door, and the two men in casual sweatshirts set off without any salute.

"Where should we go?" Sitting in the car, Mary kept looking out through the window, she couldn't put it down for the car he gave her.

"Don't think about it, just drive forward." Li Zitao just pointed forward.

Whenever you want to do something, you must set a goal and goal for yourself.

Today, Li Zitao doesn't want to do this, he just wants to move forward.

The unique pink customized sports car has received the attention of countless people as soon as it appeared on the street.

If it was in the previous life, he was sure that there would be the 'click' sound of mobile phones taking pictures everywhere.

But now there is no such advanced technology available for people to use, only a few artists and journalists who happened to take pictures of this scene.

The car quickly drove out of Manhattan, entered New Jersey and continued westward.

The scenery on the side of the road became the focus of the discussion between the two, and only when they slowed down did they realize that the world is full of scenery.

At noon they pulled over and bought a delicious lunch at a farmhouse.

But when it came to paying, the old lady was unwilling to accept it, and instead told them her own story.

When her husband was still alive, he used to take her for a ride like this, but then they used a bullock cart.

There are also fields and mud everywhere around them, and their pants and shoes are also covered with mud.

"But that is my best memory, and I hope you will do the same." Finally, the old lady sent her sincere wishes.

The trip was not luxurious, but it was an extremely simple journey, but it made the two of them feel a lot of emotion.

On the way back, the smiles on the faces of the two were less burdened by the past, and more relaxed and calm.

"Maybe we should take this kind of journey once in a while." Li Zitao said with a smile while driving the car.

"Yes, this is a great trip." Mary leaned against the window, looked at the scenery outside the window and said with a smile: "It's more interesting than the previous trip."

Unfortunately, ease and happiness are always short-lived.

As soon as he arrived at the downstairs of the apartment, Li Zitao saw Tia sitting in the lobby, looking forward to it, holding a thick stack of documents in her hand.

"It seems that I can't accompany you to dinner." Li Zitao apologized and kissed his wife on the cheek after handing over the car keys to the servant.

"It's okay, pay attention to safety." Helping him straighten his wrinkled neckline and shoulders, Mary waved her hand to Tia in the lobby, and took the elevator upstairs.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Tia anxiously walking from the hall, Li Zitao turned back to the car and asked.

"Mobil's oil tankers returning from the Middle East encountered bad weather and had to change their course, but they were discovered by the Japanese Navy and have been detained."

"The Industrial and the Green?" If he remembered correctly, these two tankers should be responsible for the oil transportation in the Persian Gulf.

"Yes." Tia looked at the boss cautiously.

Oil shipments in the Persian Gulf, which had been at a standstill before, began to resume three months ago, and now something is wrong.

"Whether the crew is injured, what does Washington say?" Li Zitao asked calmly.

"I don't know...Washington said it is inconvenient to intervene. Now that the United States and Japan are at war, it will be more troublesome for them to come forward."

Washington's opinion was conveyed to the secretary's room immediately, Tia's expression was a little hesitant, and she opened her mouth to say something.

"Is there any more bad news?" Seeing her performance, Li Zitao motioned for her to continue talking.

"Washington asked us to stop long-distance transportation, and the remaining tankers were prohibited from leaving the port." Tia put the order issued by Washington in front of him.

"Does Mobil agree?" Li Zitao asked calmly.

"They are looking for a solution." Agree, how could they agree.

The Persian Gulf is now a golden bowl. Whether it is Germany, Britain, or the United States, they all want to take a bite.

I don't know when Mobil will lose control of the Persian Gulf.

If you want to get it back, you have to wait until the end of the war, after countless negotiations, negotiations, contests and compromises between various forces.

So, while Mobil still holds the initiative, they want to squeeze every last drop of value out of the Persian Gulf.

Of course, this is just a metaphor.

Because even if you give them another 100 years, they can't even try to do it.

"Where is the ship detained?" Li Zitao did not express his opinion in a hurry, he first understood the specific situation of the matter before speaking.

"2,000 nautical miles away from the Sea of ​​Japan, the two oil tankers stopped at anchor and did not sail into the Sea of ​​Japan as requested by the other party, but..."

However, it shouldn't last long, the two sides have already killed each other in the Pacific Ocean.

This is a war between countries, it doesn't matter whether you are involved in the war, let alone Mobil is not involved in the war?

As a giant that controls energy in North America, if Mobil does not intervene, the United States will be at war, and the cars on the road will all lie down.

"People can communicate with them, we can pay the ransom and get them back first." Hearing what he said, Tia nodded understandingly.

When Li Zitao was alone in the room, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of S.H.I.E.L.D.: "Hans, our ship has been detained. Is the monk safe?"

Now, Li Zitao's mind is full of thoughts, does the other party know something?

Lucky for 3 months, why this time, the monk and his wife are on the way back with important people.

"We have lost contact with him." Hans said with a heavy tone.

The impact of this incident is bad. If the other party is really targeting the monk and has a goal, the trouble will be big.

Not only the safety of the monks and the target person, but also the threat from within. Is there another traitor among them?

No one can guarantee 100% loyalty, but Li Zitao asked himself that he would never owe anyone, if that is the case.

"Check, let Emmy's supervision department do it." Li Zitao hung up the phone with a black face, and played with the Pixiu handle in his hand.

This Pixiu was 'corrupted' from Wyster back then, and it has been kept at hand all these years, and he will play with it for a while when he has nothing to do.

Especially when thinking about something, playing with it can make the mind more concentrated.

In order to ensure a smooth trip, they made a special trip to let the other party transfer from the Far East to Africa, and after entering the Persian Gulf, they took a tanker back to the United States.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered by the Japanese. It was a coincidence or premeditated, and now he desperately needs a clear answer.

Recently, he always has a feeling that everything is not going well, "Is it because I am overthinking, or is someone secretly planning something?"

Li Zitao murmured softly, his eyes slightly narrowed with a gloomy cold light.

In recent years, he has been extremely low-key. S.H.I.E.L.D. also targets the world, and its influence in the United States is gradually declining.

But that doesn't mean he's just a sick cat without claws, and he doesn't mind showing his claws again and tearing him apart if anyone wants to try.
