Chapter 768 Everything Is Ready

"Although Jack's previous speculation was a bit far-fetched, it is not completely impossible. Think about it. McMee became addicted to drugs because he donated bone marrow to Pete DeLeon. Later, Pete DeLeon caused McMee to be imprisoned for three years, but by chance, he helped him quit his drug addiction.

Three years later, Pete committed evil again, leaving evidence that led to the truth being revealed, and McMee was acquitted. Isn't this the so-called reincarnation in Eastern Buddhism?"

As a writer, Cassel has a wide range of knowledge. Although he only knows a little bit, he is indeed more knowledgeable than the average person.

"To be precise, it should be causality. Of course, I prefer the concept of "bearing responsibility" in Taoism, which is closer to chaos theory."

Jack briefly explained what it meant to be a cycle of heaven and retribution. Although everyone present had a mosquito coil circle in their eyes, except Danny, most people at least graduated from a decent university and could still roughly understand it.

The influence of culture is mutual. The cultures of Buddhism and Taoism are still quite popular in Europe and the United States. With the gradual rise of some ancient civilizations with thousands of years of history, even some things in Confucianism have gradually spread.

Of course, it is still difficult for them to understand, and they will habitually use their own thinking to try to understand some of Confucius's words, such as interpreting "Master said on the river: Time flies! It never stops day and night" as "sitting patiently on the river bank, waiting for the enemy's body to float by."

However, Jubal can still roughly understand Jack's intention to persuade him, that is, he does not want him to make excessive compensation to McMay.

Jack had always emphasized that there was no problem with his previous case handling process, and deliberately talked about topics such as three years of imprisonment, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for McMay to quit drug addiction and start a new life, in order to alleviate Jubal's guilt.

"I know, but I will still pay attention to him, and hope that his life will be on the right track after he is released from prison." Jubal finally untied the knot in his heart, which can be seen from the fact that he could calmly drink the cup of fermented glutinous rice with a slight aroma of wine.

As Jack had expected before, the surrounding area of ​​New York City finally calmed down for more than a month, and no major cases occurred. This calmness lasted until he brought Clay and Alice back from Quantico.

During this period, Jubal and Jack received a series of equipment, all sponsored by various federal departments.

First, the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) allocated a small batch of weapons and ammunition, all of which were active equipment of the SEALs.

For example, the Noveske N4 carbine with EOTech EXPS3 holographic sight, EOTech zoom lens, Mission First stock and Dead Air Sandman-S silencer.

Jack had gotten a few of them when he was in BAU before. This time, the military directly sent a dozen accessories and tens of thousands of .300 BLK bullets, in addition to the same number of Maxim Defender SDX/MDX 508 assault rifles.

This assault rifle with a barrel length of only 8.5 inches is compact and uses the same caliber .300 BLK bullet as the Noveske N4. It is powerful and very suitable for indoor CQB operations. Female agents like Hannah and Jiejie can also easily control it.

The wealthy IRS directly sent a mobile command vehicle made by Mattman Company using the Freightliner MT-55 truck chassis.

MT-55 is the most common chassis for large special vehicles in the United States, and its technology is so mature that most local police departments' own fleet maintenance teams can handle all problems.

The main body of this command vehicle is an aluminum 40-foot standard container, with a lifting mast that can be raised to a maximum of 12 meters, equipped with 2 surveillance cameras and a full set of satellite/microwave communication systems, which can provide emergency communication support in emergencies.

The interior of the vehicle is divided into several large and small cabins including conference rooms, living cabins, equipment cabins, etc., and two sets of side sliding cabins are installed on both sides to expand the internal space, which can provide an additional space of nearly two meters in width.

Given that the wanted criminal team has a total of 7 people including Jack, many of the original functions of the command vehicle are not used by them at all. The IRS also made some customized optimizations and expanded the living cabin area.

After opening the side sliding compartments on both sides of the car body, there is a nearly 8 square meter conference room, 6 capsule beds, a relatively spacious shower room and toilet, and even a dedicated small kitchen. It can be said that this place can be used as a temporary home for team members in case of emergency.

Although the underground garage of the new office is not small, don't expect to be able to park this behemoth. Fortunately, whether it is the front yard or the backyard, it can be accommodated as long as the ground is slightly hardened.

However, before that, this luxury RV, which has been painted black and printed with various FBI letters and emblems, can only be temporarily parked in the underground parking lot of the Federal Building.

Other departments are not so generous, but they have also sponsored several official cars. Now two brand-new GMCs and two Subarubans plus Jack's Hellcat have filled the underground garage.

Compared with a few months ago, Clay Spencer looks the same. The "hard" training in Quantico has not affected the recovery of his leg injury. At present, except that he is still a little awkward when walking, Aubrey can only follow him and eat dust when he runs in the morning every day.

Alice Taylor looked very different. Her previous experience and field agent training had changed her a lot. This single mother, who was originally gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, now looked even more heroic. The day she returned to the operations center, the otakus were all stunned.

On the first weekend when everyone gathered, Jack organized a party. Unlike the past, because there were too many people this time, he directly handed it over to a contractor who was responsible for organizing parties.

There are various companies or contractors in the United States that specialize in organizing parties, and they are even classified into different categories. Some are good at organizing children's birthday parties or teenagers' coming-of-age ceremonies and graduation parties, while others focus on holding various high-end parties for the rich.

They can provide special venues, and companies of a certain size even have full-time service staff, party bands, DJs, and party girls.

Jack found a company of a certain size. Of course, since most of the participants were law enforcement officers, party girls were naturally saved, and instead hired a team of chefs from an Italian restaurant.

In addition, the band also made a friendly guest appearance. Mike Taylor, the boss of CSI's New York laboratory, was actually a bassist in a jazz club, and he directly brought in a whole jazz band.

The most crazy people on the scene were the members of SEAL Team B who came to New York for a seven-day tour under the pretext of sending equipment. It can be seen that they were really happy for Clay's "rebirth".

The end of the party also meant that this wanted criminal team was officially established. The following days were very busy for a while, not busy with cases, but busy with internal affairs.

The new office, of course, it might be more appropriate to call it the headquarters now. It has not been cleaned up after the decoration was completed. Even the surveillance security system around the small building has only completed the hardware installation. It needs some debugging before it can be used normally.

After Jubal handed over his work in the operations center, he officially took over the command from Jack. First, he assigned the dormitory on the second floor of the small building. Except for Jack who moved in early, everyone else had to move some things in.

Although not everyone needs to live in the dormitory, no one likes to sleep on the folding bed in the office when they are busy. There are many rooms upstairs, and one person can spare several guest rooms.

In addition, there were adjustments to the server and teleconferencing system, permission to connect to the databases of various federal departments and the huge amount of paperwork that came with it, as well as the setting of various security access control systems, and getting familiar with the operation and performance of the luxury command vehicle. Everyone seemed to have endless things to do.

For a moment, the situation seemed to become somewhat urgent. Everyone had to complete all the preparations before the CID (Criminal Investigation Department) issued the first official task, and then everyone had to take their positions.
