When Danilov saw Liu Xiao coming in, he stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, today he was not wearing his old military uniform, he was wearing a wide windbreaker outside, and he also had a fur hat at hand.

"Hello senior!" Liu Xiao walked a few steps quickly, "I'm very happy to see you again." ”

"Me too, young man!" Danilov smiled, then waved his hand, "Mr. Liu, please take a seat, I know you still have a little time to take off." ”

"Seniors chased here, there must be something!" Liu Xiao sat down, his eyes fixed on Danilov.

"I want to ask Mr. Liu a question, if we really decide to abolish the big spider system, is the soft alliance interested in doing this project?" Danilov asked, he was frightened by Liu Xiao's words that day, and he was a little unsure of what Liu Xiao meant, so he personally chased it over to confirm, lest his side really be cut down, and the soft alliance did not take over, then the anti-virus work of Russia's key network was suddenly paralyzed. Now in Danilov's heart, only the soft alliance, only Liu Xiao, is the best candidate to surpass the big spider system, other people can't get into Danilov's eyes at all, if the soft alliance refuses to take over, then Russia might as well continue to use the big spider system.

"As long as there is money to be made, our soft alliance is interested in doing it!" Liu Xiao nodded affirmatively, secretly happy in his heart.

Danilov also breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course, we will not treat the Soft Alliance badly!"

"So, Russia's abolition of the Big Spider system is a foregone conclusion?" asked Liu Xiao.

"If nothing else, the resolution will be passed soon!" Danilov looked at Liu Xiao very seriously, "Mr. Liu is the most knowledgeable security person I have ever met, I hope this hope will be done by you!"

Liu Xiao laughed, "It's not something I can do if I say it's going to be done, it's up to the Russian officials to decide, but we will do our best to fight for it, and we won't let go of the opportunity to make money easily." ”

"On the Russian side, I will help you get it, as long as you are sure to surpass the Great Spider System!" Danilov's eyes shone fiercely, and he looked very resolute.

Liu Xiao was very surprised, he didn't expect him to be so arrogant that day, Danilov would turn upside down to help the soft alliance, if there is no trap in this, it can only show that Danilov's mind is very broad. Liu Xiao smiled, thinking in his heart that he was really inferior to Danilov in terms of bearing, but he didn't need to talk about temperament, if he talked about temperament, maybe the soft alliance would have been eaten a long time ago, if he talked about temperament, the good things of transforming the big spider system would not fall on the head of the soft alliance, "The predecessors look up to the soft alliance so much, then we will definitely do our best to do a good job in this project, I can guarantee you!"

"I believe in Mr. Liu's character, but I have a request, if you can agree, I can guarantee that this project will definitely be done by the soft alliance!" Danilov showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, he felt that Liu Xiao would definitely agree to his request.

"Senior, let's say the request first!"

"The transformation of the Big Spider system is related to Russia's future cybersecurity, and its importance is not trivial, so I ask our people to be involved in the whole process, we need to know how every aspect of the project is completed, can Mr. Liu agree?" Danilov stared at Liu Xiao, waiting for his reply.

Liu Xiao was slightly stunned, the meaning of Danilov's words is that the soft alliance must fully disclose the details of the project to Russia, including the technical core, which makes Liu Xiao hesitate a little, the survival of technology-based enterprises is the technical core, if the technical core is made public, then this enterprise will definitely not have to play. After thinking about it, Liu Xiao shook his head and said, "If it's this request, I can't agree." It seems that we have no hope of cooperation this time, what a pity!"

Danilov was a little disappointed, he put forward this request, first, for the security of the country, as long as the soft alliance is willing to disclose the details, then he can still check Russia's network security again, and make a last effort; second, he is still a little selfish, he hopes that these backward people in the Russian security community can learn the advanced technology and concept of the soft alliance in this project. Danilov is old and has nothing to teach his juniors, but these juniors of his own have always regarded themselves as the most authoritative people in this field, and they can't let go of others in their eyes. If he hadn't met Liu Xiao, Danilov would have thought that he was NO?1, but Liu Xiao's appearance shattered his beautiful dreams, and in the face of reality, Danilov had to think about Russia's future cyber security forces.

"Mr. Liu won't think about it anymore?" Danilov still tried to persuade Liu Xiao, "Being able to design a national anti-virus system for a scientific and technological power like Russia is not an opportunity that every security agency can have, as long as you take on this project, the status of the soft alliance will be greatly improved!"

Liu Xiao still shook his head and smiled, "We didn't think about what kind of status we want to get! I can understand the concerns of our seniors, and your request is not too much." It is indeed not excessive, when Liu Xiao was in Zhang's at the time, he also asked OTE for all the code, and it was that code that inspired the later strategic level, but it was precisely because of this that Liu Xiao did not dare to agree to Danilov's request. Because the soft alliance is not OTE, OTE dares to hand over the code to themselves, because they still have more core and more advanced technology in their hands, and they can form technical suppression of competitors at any time, and the soft alliance has not yet done this, and has not yet formed a complete set of technical class. "It doesn't matter, this cooperation will not work, and next time, I am still very much looking forward to cooperating with my predecessors!", Liu Xiao rejected Danilov again.

Danilov shook his head helplessly, "Mr. Liu doesn't have to reply in such a hurry, you can go back and think about it slowly, I will wait for you to change your mind!", after Danilov finished speaking, he took out a "notepad" from his pocket, tore off one sheet, and wrote a number on it, "If Mr. Liu changes his mind, dial my number!"

Liu Xiao didn't answer, and directly pushed the note back, "No need, I won't change my mind!", after speaking, Liu Xiao took out his business card from his pocket and pushed it to Danilov, "If the seniors can retract this request, you can contact me at any time, or you can ask Steko to send me a message." As I said, I'm very willing to work with my seniors!"

Danilov, including Stepo's people, didn't expect Liu Xiao to be such a resolute person, and in order to completely break off the idea of the absolute party, he even refused to accept the phone number. Danilov was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

Liu Xiao looked at the time, and was about to check in and board, so he stood up and said, "It's almost time, it's time for me to board the plane, thank you very much for taking care of me during this time, I hope there will be a chance to see you again." ”

Stepko's people saw that Danilov couldn't get down the steps, so they played a round game, "Don't worry, don't worry, there is still a little time, Mr. Liu can sit for a while!"

Liu Xiao understood what he meant, and it was not good to do too much, so he sat down again, seeing that everyone was not talking, Liu Xiao had to find a topic, so he really thought of one thing, and said: "If you are not in a hurry, maybe we can cooperate in another form." ”

"Mr. Liu, please!" asked Stepko's man hurriedly, who was even more anxious than Danilov.

"We are also preparing to build a national-level network security system, which includes anti-intrusion, anti-virus, information security and other aspects, and we may sell the system in full or separately. Liu Xiao smiled, "If the anti-virus system we made at that time can satisfy you, you can consider purchasing it directly, so that the cost and time of research and development can be saved!"

Danilov finally had a step down, so he had to put away his piece of paper and Liu Xiao's business card, and said, "Okay, I will consider Mr. Liu's proposal very carefully!"

The embarrassing situation was broken, the atmosphere between everyone eased, and Steko's people took the opportunity to match again, and Danilov's face finally returned to normal. The three of them chatted casually, but Steko's people asked a few questions intentionally or unintentionally, all of which were related to the national security system in Liu Xiao's mouth. Among all the companies that act as agents of the strategic products of the soft alliance, Sjeco is the only one that has really made money, and it is a big profit, they have tasted the sweetness, and now as soon as they heard that the soft alliance is going to have a new project, they naturally got interested in it and wanted to see if there was a chance to make another profit.

As soon as Liu Xiao returned to the soft alliance, Li Yicheng came to the door as soon as possible, but he had been waiting for Liu Xiao to come back.

"Come, hurry up and take a look, check the gates, and give some opinions!" Before Liu Xiao could drink saliva, Li Yicheng smashed a lot of documents on Liu Xiao's table.

"What is this?" Liu Xiao looked at the pile of documents and had a headache.

"It's all written by me, it's about the design ideas and concepts of Haicheng's anti-virus system, it's just a draft, you check it first, and see if it's feasible. Li Yicheng smiled and sat down on the sofa, which means that I will sit here and wait for your reply.

Liu Xiao's brain is about to die of pain, this Li Yicheng is too anxious to do things, just a few days of work, he can make such a big pile of things, but he doesn't have the ability to read such a big pile of things in a short time, let alone have any opinions. Liu Xiao was busy playing Tai Chi, "Okay, I've accepted all these things, and I'll give you an answer after I finish reading them." There is no rush in advance, I will tell you about my trip to Russia first!"

"Oh!" Li Yicheng patted his head, "I'm in a hurry, and I forgot about it! How about it? The trip to Russia is going well, have you gained anything?"

"The harvest is not small!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Danilov personally jumped out and demanded that the big spider system be resolutely abolished, and it was completely eliminated!"

"Oh?" Li Yicheng was surprised, "Completely cut out?

"Danilov has a very high prestige in the Russian security community, before he resolutely opposed the elimination of the big spider system, the security officials of the Russian government had no choice but to adopt a peaceful way, only to replace the big spider system with a more advanced anti-virus technology core, but now Danilov has figured it out, the opposition is suddenly gone, so it is inevitable to completely eliminate it!" Liu Xiao smiled.

"Great!" Li Yicheng rubbed his hands, "Look at what you mean, did you win this project?", Li Yicheng jumped up from the sofa and came over to pat Liu Xiao's shoulder, "I know, you kid is out, it will definitely work!"

Liu Xiao smiled bitterly and rubbed his shoulders, "Danilov wanted to give us this project to do, but I refused!"

"Refused!" Li Yicheng stared at Liu Xiao, his jaw fell to the ground, "No, such a good opportunity, Danilov agreed, why do you refuse! If we win this project, then we can ......"

"Danilov has the conditions, he demanded that we must disclose all the aspects of the new anti-virus system to the Russian side. Liu Xiao looked at Li Yicheng with a smile, "If you are willing to hand over your core secret of active defense to the Russians, then I will inform Danilov now that we have changed our minds!"

"Change?" Li Yicheng waved his hand again and again, "It can't be changed, if we really hand over the core to the Russians, even if I can agree, Microsoft can't agree, why does Microsoft choose to cooperate with us, because we have the most mature active defense core in the industry, and we can't hand it over if we die!"

"This is dispensable, even if we lose the Russian project, we still have the Haicheng project. Liu Xiao frowned, "I'm really worried about something else, the matter of piercing Russia's strategic-level protection system has some eyebrows, if my expectations are not bad, we are in big trouble this time!"

"Are you still afraid?" Li Yicheng asked rhetorically, and then asked again, "What's the big trouble, tell me about it!"

Liu Xiao shook his head, "This is just a guess, now I tell you, it's just to add to your troubles, I will do some defensive measures in advance, it's best if I guessed wrong!"

"God chatters!" Li Yicheng was most annoyed by this kind of speech, which was only half spoken, "Then guess slowly, I'll go first, remember!" Li Yicheng pointed to the things on the table, "After reading it, you must give me an answer!"

"Okay, I remember!" Liu Xiao hurriedly got up and pushed Li Yicheng out of the office, he had to quickly think about where to start, with Li Yicheng making noise by his side, he didn't have any ideas.

Sending Li Yicheng away, Liu Xiao sat in his office and thought for a long time, wondering why Unit 140 would point the finger at the Soft Alliance; if he was 140, then what would he do next after the failure of Russia's operation; and if he could inflict a fatal blow on the Soft Alliance, then where would this attack point be?

At this time, Fang Guokun had just learned that Liu Xiao had returned to Haicheng.

On the third day, he visited the National Anti-Virus Center of the Russian Spider, and he was received by Colonel Bonev, who was a senior disciple of Danilov and the current supreme commander of the Spider system. Xiao Wu made a report.

"Go on!" Fang Guokun looked at the information gathered in his hand.

On the seventh day, Liu Xiao entered the building of the Russian National Information Security Center, and he was ready to persuade Russia to hand over the transformation of the Big Spider system to the Soft Alliance. Ten minutes later, Danilov also entered the building, Danilov was resolutely opposed to the abolition of the Great Spider System, and was the biggest obstacle to the transformation of the Great Spider System. Xiao Wu also showed a puzzled expression at this time, "Soon after Danilov entered the building, Liu Xiao walked out, and Russia did not come out to send it, judging from this situation, Liu Xiao's persuasion plan this time should have failed! But the strange thing is that when Danilov walked out of the building later, his expression looked even more gloomy, and there was no sign of victory at all, but the two Russian security officials in charge of the renovation were a little happy. "The big screen shows everyone's expressions as they walk out of the building, and it's weird that they don't win like they win, and they don't look like they lose.

After Liu Xiao returned to the hotel, Bonev entered Liu Xiao's room, and the conversation between the two was ominous, but Liu Xiao immediately decided to leave for China. In the rest area of the airport, Danilov suddenly appeared and chatted with Liu Xiao for more than ten minutes, the content of the conversation was unknown, but the two sides seemed to have a dispute. After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he looked at Fang Guokun, "It's over!"

"Hmm!" Fang Guokun nodded and put down the things in his hand, "The focus of the problem now is what Bonev said to Liu Xiao, that is, the reason why Liu Xiao will suddenly leave for China." Liu Xiao is a person who will see blood once the knife is drawn out of the sheath, he has never done anything halfway before, and now neither Russia nor the Soft Alliance has published something public to explain the final fate of the big spider system, that is, Liu Xiao did not convince Russia, he failed. So why did he choose to return to China instead of continuing to work hard?"

None of the people in the room spoke, and they couldn't guess why.

"We might as well think differently!" Fang Guokun smiled, "If the real purpose of Liu Xiao's trip to Russia is not in the big spider system, then his sudden return to China can be explained." Because he has other goals, and he has already achieved his goal, he doesn't stay for a moment and goes back to China directly!"

Fang Guokun put the two documents in his hand together, then knocked on the table, nodded incessantly, and said: "This is a piece of news related to IND that I just got, more than ten days ago, Russia's strategic-level system was pierced, and the attacker left a message claiming that it was IND. I have made a comparison between this news and Liu Xiao's recent behavior, and I think there is such a possibility: the real purpose of Liu Xiao's trip to Russia this time is likely to be to investigate the strategic-level piercing. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Wu was a little stunned, this was the first time he heard the news that the strategic-level system had been pierced, "This can't be done by IND, they don't have the habit of keeping their names, even if they stay, it is impossible for people to see it!"

"Yes, here's the problem!" Fang Guokun looked at Xiao Wu approvingly, "Since the other party is not IND, who will he be, and what is his purpose?" I think Liu Xiao has already got this answer, so he will return to China in a hurry. ”

This is the brilliance of Fang Guokun's agency, other intelligence departments are all right, but there are too many things that happen every day in the world, and trying to find out the information you need from it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, which is also the reason why many intelligence departments are inefficient and inefficient; Multiplier!

Fang Guokun's job is to find those decisive intersections from the intricate and intertwined things, and then through the tracking of these intersections, they can obtain the most accurate information and predictions, and provide reference for national decision-making.

Xiao Wu is extremely depressed, this Liu Xiao always walks in front of him every time, which makes him very embarrassed as an intelligence person, he is specifically responsible for researching IND and Liu Xiao, and now, Liu Xiao has figured out the truth of the fake IND, but he has just gotten the fake IND, and the gap between them is too big.

Fang Guokun saw Xiao Wu's expression and said: "Liu Xiao is a person in the security world, and for the affairs of the security community, insiders like them are much faster than us in terms of obtaining news, but our advantage lies in the overall control! Xiao Wu, let's talk about it first!"

Xiao Wu gritted his teeth, pondered for a moment, and said: "Two days ago, the Pentagon website was hacked, and it could not be restored for more than ten years. If these two things are analyzed together, it will be very clear that the US side must have attacked the Russian network under the guise of IND, and after the IND learned about it, IND warned the US side!"

Fang Guokun laughed and nodded, "I also have this point of view, then the question now is simple, first, find out who the real attacker is, and second, what is their purpose and what will they do next." ”

"This is easy to do!" Xiao Wu immediately stood up, "There are only a few information combat units on the US side, I will go and check, and I should be able to find out the real attacker." But what they'll do next, we don't know!"

"Actually, it's simple!" Fang Guokun still smiled, "As long as we look at Liu Xiao, we will know what the other party is going to do next!"

Xiao Wu patted his head, "Head, I'll arrange it!"

Liu Xiao also suddenly thought of where the biggest weakness of the Soft Alliance was at this time, he came out of the office and went directly to the Haicheng City Government. He guessed that if the real target of 140 was the Soft Alliance, then in the next step, they would most likely focus their attacks on the multi-echelon defense system of Haicheng Prefecture. The project of the Haicheng City Government is related to the safety of the entire city and involves the interests of tens of millions of people, if 140 uses this to fight the Soft Alliance, once something happens, then the Soft Alliance will not even be able to gain a foothold in Haicheng.
