The Fury-class destroyer had dropped anchor and came to a steady stop.

After having just wrecked a helicopter and watching the black smoke rise from the island in the middle of the lake, Professor Qilov looked at his watch, and the time had passed for more than ten hours, and there were less than twelve hours left. He hesitated, grabbed the walkie-talkie and turned on the public channel: "I'm Qilov, how about what I want?"

There was only a murmur over the intercom.

However, the mobile phone he was carrying rang, and Professor Qilov picked up the phone, and seemed to be slightly stunned, but he still answered the phone: "Is there something, didn't I just say it clearly enough? You listen, the Xizhao Society owes me so much, I will not go to the account, but I said that this thing is inevitable for me, and there is no room for negotiation, so if you call me to discuss this matter, then I think you can shut up, Vice President Abraham." ”

While Lovell waited, Abraham, who had just broken up on the phone, called again.

"Mr. Chilov, the reason why I am calling you again today is because I want you to think clearly. Think about it, in so many years of history, have you ever missed what you wanted?" Abraham patiently said, "This is the last time I will discuss this matter with you, and if you refuse me, then your name will appear on the list of the Evening Note the next day—you are also a member of the Evening Notice, and you know the consequences." ”

"Of course I know that the Sunset will send the worst and deadliest killer in the world to hunt me down. Chilov's voice was full of disdain: "From the moment I joined the Sunset Newsletter, I knew what kind of institution it was, the worst killers in the world were in it, and I never missed a chance to kill anyone." I know all these things, so you should know that I was ready for everything before I made this decision, including facing the killers sent by the Sunset Mission. Isn't it too naïve for you to threaten me with a killer now? Do you think I'm going to be afraid of a killer? If I were afraid of a killer, I wouldn't have been lurking in the former Soviet Union for so long. I've made it very clear, listen, I'll say it again, I don't want anything but the bones, I'm bound to get these things. ”

"You ......" Abraham seemed to be shocked by his tough attitude, he had never heard of anyone who knew the inside story of the Sunset Meeting, and he didn't panic when he heard that the Sunset Reception would send a killer, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to talk openly, this super spy who has been lurking since the former Soviet Union era, is obviously not afraid of threats: "That's not something that can be in the hands of individuals!"

"Can't be in the hands of an individual?President Abraham, let me ask you, how many prohibited items are hidden behind the back of the Citi authorities, and do you dare to count them one by one?" ”

"What are you talking about!" Abraham was furious.

"What am I talking about? I'm an ordinary spy on the periphery, but don't forget, I've always known some people in my long spy career. I can inquire about things that the Tibetan Association can't find out from the front, and I still know the details of many sunset notes. So if you want to say anything about national righteousness in front of me, then shut up, you guys are just bastards with wolf ambitions in front of me. Chilov said contemptuously.

After speaking, Qilov added: "Also, I believe that you must have the ability to kill me, and with my understanding of the sunset note, I will not survive." But there is one thing I have to say. You know that I have been lurking in the former Soviet Union for so many years, and I already know a lot about the dirty things and secrets between the two countries, so I wrote a notebook. This journal is in the hands of a person in charge who is absolutely untrustworthy. I told him that if I died, the journal would be sent to every government intelligence agency in the world within an hour. ”

"That's what the Citigroup authorities did, what does it have to do with us, it's too naïve for you to threaten me with this. Hearing Qilov say this, Abraham sneered: "You are an ordinary person, I don't know how much you know about cultivators from other sources, but there is one thing you obviously don't know. That is, special law enforcement agencies and ordinary law enforcement things never merge. Even if you write an article about Citigroup in your notebook, you don't know how many big shady scenes they have created, it has nothing to do with us, you are too naïve to threaten me with this, you think I will be afraid of this?"

"No, of course you're not afraid of that. International public opinion cannot sanction you at all, and I know, and I can tell you unequivocally, that there is nothing in the chronicle about the sunset note. Professor Qilov said lightly.

"So, what are you going to threaten me with?" Abraham sneered.

"We're all smart people, so don't play stupid. Although there is no shadow of sunset in my diary, I am sure that the officials of Citigroup who contacted you must have known what you did at some point. From what I know about the sunset note, you are definitely not the kind of obedient existence. Once this journal is exposed, the upper echelons of Citi Nation will follow the roots to you. For example, when you should have carried out a certain task at a certain time, you did not do it, thus affecting the overall international situation. I'm sure that from what I'm aware of the sunset note, this kind of thing is not uncommon, because you are just a bunch of bastards. Professor Chilov said contemptuously, "Otherwise, I'll tell you about Castro?"

Abraham was silent.

Indeed, according to Professor Chilov, his diary has no connection with the sunset note, and outsiders must have looked confused. But Abraham himself understands what the sunset will be - historically they have always been the black glove of Citigroup, and whatever Citigroup wants to do but is embarrassed to do, it will eventually be in their hands. This includes, but is not limited to, murder, coup d'état, provoking civil strife, messing up the financial lifeline, etc., as long as it is exposed, there will be an international uproar. Of course, since the Xizhao is a special black glove, the officials who are specifically responsible for contacting the Xizhao also know that they cannot deal with them in accordance with the "law", and as long as they complete the tasks assigned to them, they do not need to worry about other details.

But if you really go into the details, you naïve know how many times the sunset will be violated—for example, Castro said by Chilov.

Fidel Castro, the former president of Cuba, is probably the most assassinated president in the history of the world.

Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, Cuba has been a thorn in the side of Citigroup. Citigroup's approach to solving problems has always been simple and crude. At that time, Cuba was a loyal follower of the former Soviet Union, and the missiles of the former Soviet Union could not hit that far, so Cuba set aside a separate military base for the former Soviet Union to serve as a missile base. How can this make Citigroup, which has always boasted that "there is no strong enemy in the east and west, north and south," be embarrassed? Moreover, Cuba has a long coastline, and if the former Soviet Union landed in Cuba and pushed all the way north to the Citigroup mainland, how could this be done?

As a result, Citigroup began negotiations with Cuba, demanding that they disassociate themselves from the former Soviet Union. However, the negotiations were clearly a failure, and Cuba strongly rejected the Citi people and remained close to the Soviet Union. Cuba's attitude completely annoyed the Citi people, well, since the negotiations failed, then it was hard - the Citi people came up with the means they did best, assassination.

According to statistics, Castro has suffered 638 assassinations in his lifetime, so many that he can turn evil into good fortune is enough to be admired by all the leaders of the world.

Some people say that the CIA's assassination attempt against Castro was no less thrilling than the plot in the "007" film, but it ultimately failed. The first assassination of Castro was in 1960 and was planned by CIA operatives. At the time they hired a doctor from Castro to poison the eye drops, but

In the end, the doctor could not stand the condemnation of his conscience and turned himself in. Since then, Citi has tried poisoning several times, including poison needles made with jellyfish venom juice, handkerchiefs infected with bacteria, special potions added to Castro's tea, coffee or soup, cigarettes, and even a pill said to have been developed by the mafia.

It is reported that in one of these schemes, the CIA found that the pills could not melt quickly in the water and gave up. On another occasion, Castro was given a box of toxic cigarettes when he quit smoking, which was eventually shelved.

The CIA also used one of Castro's former lovers to assassinate him. The CIA gave the poisoned pills to the woman, who hid them in her cream bottle, but by the time she made up her mind to do so, she found that the pills had melted in the cream. Given Castro's penchant for swimming in the sea, the C.I.A. had also planned to use a brightly colored mollusk to carry a bomb and explode when Castro swam close, but this did not work.

In addition, the CIA once painstakingly concealed deadly bacteria in a set of diving suits given to Castro, but it was not delivered to Castro due to accidents. In addition, the CIA has repeatedly hired the underworld to assassinate Castro, and attempts to blow him up are commonplace. In l971, Castro visited Chile. CIA agents secretly loaded the pre-prepared explosives into the vehicle in which Castro and his party were traveling, but the explosives did not go off. When the plan failed, the C.I.A. hastily arranged for two agents to hide their weapons in a camera and prepare to strike at Castro's speech. However, just two hours before Castro's speech, one of the killers suddenly suffered an attack of "appendicitis", and the other panicked and did not dare to do anything more.

The C.I.A. never gave up hope of assassinating Castro and continued to assassinate him until 2000. The C.I.A. hired four veterans who had defected from Cuba to plant bombs under the podium where Castro was speaking, and the plot failed again under the scrutiny of Castro's guards. The CIA's assassination, though unsuccessful, largely changed Castro's life. During his first years in power, Castro often walked the streets alone, but later his actions became stealthy.

It is reported that Castro has more than 20 residences in Cuba, and he often travels between them to avoid assassins. At present, although Citigroup officials have announced that they have abandoned the plot to assassinate Castro, Castro's bodyguards have not let their guard down. Any gift to Castro will be scrutinized, especially since Castro is currently bedridden, and the security checks of Cuban authorities have been tightened. And Castro's old and strong are even more surprising. The New Yorker, a well-known magazine in Citigroup, published an article saying that someone gave Castro a turtle as a gift during his illness, but Castro firmly rejected the gift as a symbol of longevity, the reason being that "this turtle can only live 100 years", and he may live longer than the turtle.

Well, what can Citi do about this kind of existence that can never be killed? Of course, it sent an evening note. Except for some ordinary people who were very proficient in assassination and stealth, almost all of the killers of the Sunset were cultivators. If a cultivator wants to start pulling down his face to kill a person, it is impossible to prevent it, but in the end, what is surprising is that Castro can always sense the movement like a "prophet" when Sunset moves several times, and then flee.

The explanation of the people at the sunset afterwards was that someone had leaked their whereabouts - it was not a glorious thing for a special law enforcement unit to assassinate, and the person who assassinated in particular was still in such a high position. This kind of thing can only be done in secret, and if it is discovered, it is likely that the world's leaders will be at risk - and the report was finally presented to the then president of Citigroup, who assessed the plan and sealed it completely.

As a person below, there are many places that I can't think about, but as a president, I know that at that time, World War II had just ended, everything was in ruins, and the special law enforcement agencies were in ruins, and once the cultivators began to participate in the assassination, then the world would never be at peace.

But in fact, whether the people at the sunset note did not do it, or whether Castro was lucky, no one can say.

But Abraham's performance clearly says something.

"Looks like I guessed right. Professor Chilov said.

"Well, Mingren doesn't talk secretly, you're a smart man, you know that even if you snatch the bones, it's useless, now you make your request. Now that both sides have said it, don't prevaricate me with that clumsy lie. Abraham said in a gloomy voice: "Say, what do you want?"

"No, Mr. Vice President, you guessed wrong, why would it be useless for me to take this thing? If I get it in my hands, all the organizations in the world that want it will come to me, are you right?" Qilov smiled faintly: "You are too confident, in this world, in addition to the sunset note, there are many places and many organizations that can give me what I want." ”

"Yes, you're right, they're going to come to you. As long as you hold the bones in your hands, they will definitely come to you. But the way they came to you at that time, if I guessed correctly, was probably to separate your body into a few parts of you......" Abraham said in a gloomy voice, "Do you want this to be the way it is?" ”

"As the vice president of the Sunset Notes, he can really guess my thoughts. Professor Chilov pondered for a moment and then laughed: "That's right, you guess it's true, I think my acting skills are pretty good, why can't I even fool you? How do you know that I'm going to exchange it for something? Is there something I can't do well? No, I've been lurking in the former Soviet Union for so many years, and even the KGB has been deceived, and there is no reason to deceive you." ”

"There are many people in this world who have tried to deceive me, but none of them have succeeded so far. Abraham said in a deep voice: "First of all, you are not a cultivator at all, and it is useless for you to use that thing, and it will even lead to death. There's no reason why someone as smart as you doesn't know. Secondly, you've been a spy for so long and know very well what you can and can't take. Holding things that you can't hold in your hands will only bring disaster to you, and nothing else will do you any good. In the end, don't you think that the lie of that deal is very clumsy? Such an important thing can even make law enforcement agencies all over the world go crazy at the same time, and you are an ordinary person who holds it in your hands, and you still expect to trade with people? Do you think you are too clever in your own eyes, or are you too stupid in thinking about yourself?"

"Haha, okay, okay, it seems that there is no problem with my acting skills, but I still can't fool you in terms of common sense. It's true that this thing can't be traded in ordinary hands, I want it to be just exchanged for something. Chilov said.

"Say what you ask. Abraham said in a deep voice: "If you want money, you can make a direct offer, and within my authority, I can give you a trap of three billion dollars." You're a member of the Sunset Society, and you know that we have limited cash funds, and of course, you know that there are a lot of things in the Sunset that money can't buy, and you have your eye on something? Tell me, I want you to tell me now, and we don't go around in circles. ”

"The Triple Dollar Trap...... It's a tempting proposition, but I don't think it's the right thing to do, because I don't know what I've been preparing to get this thing in advance. Professor Chilov smiled: "If you want it, you have to show sincerity." And you just forgot to say that if you don't satisfy me, I'll throw what I get into the bottom of Lake Baikal, you know, once I do, no one will want to get it. So, let's talk about something practical. ”

"What do you want practically, three billion dollars in cash that isn't practical?" Abraham suppressed his anger.

"I want what I deserve, I want a citizenship, a parliamentarian, this is me

Over the years, I have been able to transmit so much information to Citigroup, and I deserve to be rewarded! Listen, this is what I deserve. I have been lurking in the Soviet Union for so many years, and God knows what kind of life I lived! Have you ever seen how the KGB detects clues? I can't remember how many times I have brushed shoulders with death, and all of this is thanks to you! No, it is thanks to Citigroup!" Professor Qilov suddenly changed his previous politeness, his eyes instantly turned red, and he roared as if he had been infinitely hurted: " I've begged you more than once to let me withdraw it, because I've had enough of this place, but what do you do? Ignore my requests, and even forget about me as a person, if it weren't for this **, I'm afraid I'd have to live here for the rest of my life! I know it's your custom, but I can't stand being used like toilet paper and throwing it away, I deserve it, you hear me know I'm not a lion opening my mouth, it's something I deserve. ”

At that moment, all the people in the captain's room were silent, and they looked at the usually polite old professor, although some people knew his identity, but no one had ever seen him lose his temper like this. Professor Qilov couldn't help but lose his temper, because whenever he mentioned this matter, he would think that he had planned to run to the "free world", but who knew that the "free world" had abandoned him again, and let him return to that icy world as a spy.

After saying this, his emotions seemed to calm down a lot, and then he continued: "Listen, my request is that I want citizenship, the National Emblem and the Medal of Honor, a position as a state legislature, and in addition, I also want the three billion dollars." That's what I'm asking you to ask if you can't do it, ask your boss, and if he can't do it, ask the president. Otherwise, I will throw my bones into Lake Baikal before I die, and my notepad will appear on the table of the intelligence services of various countries to see if Citigroup can bear this loss!"

Abraham on the other end of the line was silent.

The other conditions are easy to meet, citizenship, three billion US dollars, only two remaining, a congressional medal of honor, a state legislature, not to mention that Abraham can't agree, I'm afraid that his immediate boss, the senator can't meet it.

First of all, Abraham, the Congressional Medal of Honor, couldn't do it.

The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest military medal of honor of the Citi Nation, established by the Citi Nation government under the Congressional Act of 1862, and is awarded to members of all branches of the Armed Forces of the Citigroup, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, and the recipient must "risk his life in battle against the enemies of the United States for extraordinary bravery and bravery." It dates back to 1862 during the Citi Civil War, most recently in 2016. Members of the Navy, Army and Air Force are all eligible for this honor, and each service awards the Medal of Honor with its own unique design. It is personally awarded by the President of Citigroup, who is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the Citigroup.

The Medal of Honor is awarded only to the bravest and is the one whose heroic deeds can be demonstrated, so the Medal of Honor recipients are very few. In fact, the only awards since the Vietnam War have been given to Sergeant Gary I. Gordon and First Class Sergeant Randall, who died in Somalia in 1993, and to First Class Sgt. Paul Smith, who fought valiantly in Iraq. Men who served in Operation Desert Storm and in Grenada, Nama and Lebanon were not awarded the Medal of Honor, which has been awarded less than 500 times since World War II, and is Citi's highest symbol of honor.

But how could this thing be given to him? If it were to be given to him, wouldn't it be an acknowledgement that he was an officially dispatched spy?

You must know that in the previous spy hunting operations, countries have reached a consensus, that is, to divide all spies into official spies and civilian spies. Officially dispatched spies are protected by regulations, while civilian spies can be hunted at will. In particular, civilian spies are not allowed access to the upper echelons, which is almost a tacit acquiescence of various countries. Now Professor Chilov is asking for the Congressional Medal of Honor, which means that the Citi Congress recognizes what he has done abroad.

This is impossible for Citigroup, which has always prided itself on being great, glorious and correct.

The other one is even more unlikely, Professor Qilov wants the status of a state legislator, which is impossible for the president to approve with a nod, which has already involved the foundation of Citi Nation. Citigroup often hears that federal and state legislators do not mean the same thing. Citi Nation is a federal state, a united nation of 50 states. Federal parliamentarians refer to the members of the Central Committee of the Citigroup, representing the image and responsibility of the members of the Citigroup country, responsible for the entire country of Citigroup, 2 senators per state, a total of 100, with a term of 6 years, and 1/3 of the election every two years. The 435 members of the House of Representatives are elected according to the proportional quota of the population of each state, and the term of office is two years, and all members are re-elected.

Except for members of both chambers, who can be re-elected for an unlimited term of office, Senators and House members are full-time and may not concurrently hold government offices.

The state legislators are the legislators of each state, representing the image and responsibility of the state and being responsible to the people of the state. In principle, federal parliamentarians do not interfere with state legislators, nor do they have the right to interfere, and state legislators are elected by the people of their own state, somewhat similar to the whole of China. People. Big. Generation. Table and save people. Big. Generation. Table. relationship. One central, one place.

This thing was voted for, and although Citigroup is known for its secret voting operations, no one dares to openly say on the table that I want to support a congressman to come to power. If any president dares to say this, then his presidency will not last long.

What even the president can't do, Abraham can't do, but he doesn't dare to refuse Professor Qiloff directly, because he knows that this guy is not only familiar with the various legal provisions of Citigroup, but the most important thing is that he has a lot of black materials in his hands!

"You know the laws of Citigroup, and I can't promise you these things now, but you know, parliamentarians and medals, it's just a matter of money. Abraham said, "I've promised you that I'll give you three billion dollars in cash, and I'll raise money to support your candidacy — you know, the president's election money is only five billion dollars." At Citigroup, as long as you have money, everything is easy to do, and that's the biggest promise I can give you. ”

Abraham finished speaking, waiting for Chilov's answer.

And Professor Chilov really did what Abraham thought, and he was really very familiar with the various laws in Citi's country. Abraham's words were true and false, and if Abraham agreed, it would probably be false. Now that Abraham is so cautious, it seems to be true—because the status of a councillor is not something that anyone can say.

Of course, if there is enough money, it is a different matter -- which president and congressman did not make it out of money? Since Qilov can make this request, it means that he has not planned this matter for a day or two. So he knows Citi's electoral laws very well, and he knows that only recognized votes bring power — but it is up to those in power to decide how to play with this ballot. As long as you have enough money, then you can buy the media and broadcast to the people what you want them to know, as long as you have enough money to master the media, then you can make yourself a hero, and you can hardly lose elections, so to speak, as long as you have money, even the president of Citibank can be — in fact, that's how the president of Citigroup is elected.

But despite this reply, Qilov still has some doubts.

Even if they sound very sincere now, what if they regret it when the time comes? You know, the sunset notice is a bunch of bastards who turn their faces and don't recognize people, and in terms of "credit", the sunset note is as credible as the girl in the red light district said I love you - well, maybe even more untrustworthy.

Chilov hesitated for a moment.
