Chapter 135 Confession
Author: Tezcatripoca
As the FBI picked up the arrest warrant and pointed the gun at him, although Robert's heart was filled with anger and irritability, he did not choose to resist at the first moment, but instead raised his hands obediently.
Reality is not a movie. There will not be a desperate hero who is obviously just an ordinary person but can still escape from a group of gun-toting FBI police officers.
From the moment the group of people took out the arrest warrant, once Robert resisted, there was no doubt that he would give them a perfect reason to shoot.
So Robert just raised his hands - obediently, obediently, and without a trace of anger, watching the federal agents in blue jackets walking up with guns raised and touching his clothes clean from head to toe.
Jing, with a kind smile, said softly to the team leader of the detectives, the man who held the arrest warrant at the beginning:
"Fuck U, wait, Agent Duncan."
The team leader lowered his head and glanced at the badge he had not taken off. He also smiled slightly, without showing any fear. Instead, he moved his face to Robert's ear:
"I'm waiting...Mr. General."
As he spoke, he waved his hand again, and the expression on Duncan's face instantly turned fierce:
"……take away!"
Accompanied by the clanking sound of the silver-white handcuffs, Robert's hands were pulled behind his back. Under the tug of several federal agents, his body involuntarily moved toward the door.
The moment he left the hotel, Robert turned back and glanced at this high-end suite that he had stayed in for several days and had a lackluster interior decoration.
It was obviously a common and even boring environment, but he was about to leave here completely, and he might never come back again. Thinking of such a thing in his mind, Robert actually felt some inexplicable panic rising from the bottom of his heart.
...Because the way forward is something that I can no longer control.
…………
When the FBI agents broke through the door of the hotel suite, entered the room, and announced that Robert would follow them, Robert had a vague feeling that the next period of time would be very difficult.
But even if he exhausted his imagination, he never imagined that it would be such a torment.
Robert was not taken to a special detention center and was kept with other criminal suspects who had not yet been tried in court.
When he was taken back from the hotel, after a long drive, he was so dizzy and exhausted that he almost fainted, and was sent to the "Spann Base" directly under the Pentagon.
Robert had heard about "Spann Base" in the past. He knew that it was a place used by the United States to dispose and imprison certain "key figures".
There are two "Spann Bases" in the United States, and nine others around the world outside the United States.
It is a mysterious area that does not exist on maps or in intelligence, just like Calvino's "invisible city". Currently, any content related to the government's unblocked files will not mention its existence.
Generally speaking, the following categories of people are imprisoned at "Spann Base":
1. Important foreign personnel, such as senior government officials of certain small countries, or diplomats from other countries who are suspected of being spies on U.S. soil. People like this cannot be legitimately detained and tried, and they can only go through "Spann"
"base" for detention;
2. Persons within the U.S. government or military who are considered espionage suspects, and the internal circumstances of the incident involved must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be disclosed to the outside public;
3. Other personnel deemed by the Pentagon to need to be processed through "Spann Base".
As a general with the highest military rank among the senior military officers still alive in the United States, Robert had no special interest in "Spann Base" in the past. Although he knew about it, he did not understand it in detail.
But now, Robert himself has become a resident of "Spann Base".
And - he is also the most senior officer to live in "Spann Base" since its establishment.
…
On the first day of entering "Spann Base", that is, the day he was brought to "Spann Base" by the FBI, Robert, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was taken to a four-square-meter, all-white room.
The four walls, ceiling, and floor of the room are all covered with soft and foam materials. There are large and small light sources throughout, allowing the entire interior structure of the room to be seen at a glance. It seems that the lumen even exceeds
Thousands. Once he entered it, even though Robert was so trapped that he could hardly open his eyes, facing the all-encompassing light, he still felt that even if he closed his eyes, his eyelids would still be translucent.
There is no cot in the room, only a fixed toilet and floor. Because it is a constant-temperature central air-conditioner, there is no room for temperature control.
Robert tried to lie down in the room, but after lying down, he discovered that the structure of the room was very vicious. No matter whether he was lying upright or lying down, he could not completely put down his body, so he had to curl up part of his body.
Moreover, shortly after he lay down, even though he was always under the bright light, because his sleepiness became more and more serious, Robert gradually fell into an uneasy sleep - but once he fell into sleep, a "crunching" feeling appeared.
A restless noise, like fingernails scraping a blackboard, resounded throughout the room.
Robert couldn't bear it anymore.
He sat up from the ground and shouted loudly to the investigators outside the prison cell who must be watching him all the time:
"Stop! Turn off the light! Turn off the sound! Let me out! I want to see a lawyer!!"
The light source was still going on and the noise was still going on, as if Robert was not disturbed at all.
Robert yelled crazily, as if trying to drown out the noise, but until his throat was about to bleed, the noise continued to output steadily and continuously.
"FUCK! How on earth can you let me out! It's up to you!"
Robert yelled at the people outside the room in a self-defeating manner.
The noise finally stopped.
But the strong light indoors still maintains the previous lumens.
Suddenly a small crack opened in the door. The crack opened, and a thin piece of paper and a ring retractable pen specially used to prevent suicide were brought in.
Robert picked up the paper.
There are a bunch of testimonies written on it, but the most important testimonies include two sentences:
"1. I admit that I was connected to the outbreak of the 'Blood Tide' and had colluded with the 'Blood Angels' beforehand; 2. I am willing to bear all responsibility for the failure of the United States' East Asia strategy."
