Pang Jindong didn't know how to hide the shock in his heart, but in any case, he didn't want to be seen by Anderson. After being silent for a long time, Pang Jindong asked: "You can tell me about this matter, which shows that there are other things that you can choose to do or not do now." ”

"You're smart, Jerry. Anderson leaned back on the couch and replied with a smile, "There's one more thing that's going on that I can use to exchange your loyalty." ”

"What?"

"Delta's failure at Heights 3 has been a great humiliation for the federal government, so there are now plans to clean it up with a larger sweep. ”

Thinking of Mogadishu, Pang Jindong did not doubt that the government of country M had such plans, so Anderson's words made Pang Jindong's heart sink into the abyss. Pang Jindong knows very well what this will mean, as the only superpower in the world, the government of country M only needs to concentrate a part of its forces to make its mercenaries and the entire opposition armed forces disappear.

Anderson saw Pang Jindong's concerns, which was also a bargaining chip between him and Pang Jindong: "However, I can use my influence to get the federal government to cancel this plan." ”

"Can you do it?" questioned Pang Jindong.

"There has been controversy within the federal government about the drug crackdown in South America. I can use my influence to prove that the sweep was a bad decision and to prevent the government from making further mistakes. ”

"If I helped you achieve your goal, and you didn't keep your promise......"

Anderson shook his head and interrupted Pang Jindong: "You can rest assured about this, I don't want to use any false promises to guarantee this, and when we complete this cooperation, you will naturally trust me." Anderson said, taking out a check from his bosom and putting it in front of Pang Jindong. "I will also give you a monetary reward for your cooperation. That's two million dollars, and if you think about how much you can earn as a mercenary for a year? If you're worried about a bad check, just give me an account in a Swiss bank and I'll send the money right away. ”

Anderson's offer was undoubtedly tempting for Pang Jindong, even if Anderson failed to prevent the government of country M from retaliating against the mercenaries, he would still be able to get two million dollars after all. However, Pang Jindong must get another guarantee: "After the matter is completed, you won't kill me, right?"

"I've spent a lot of energy and resources nurturing you, and I don't want to lose you after just one time. ”

After years of experience, Pang Jindong realized that the words of politicians are often not credible, and any promises they make can be written on paper to wipe their butts, but this law is not suitable for Director Anderson at the moment.

After thinking for a while, Pang Jindong put away the check and agreed: "Sue me for the task." ”

"Kill two people, the first is Narcotics Control Bureau Director Pace, and the second is Senator Essen. ”

As soon as Anderson finished speaking, Pang Jindong immediately understood the practical significance of the mission: "After killing Pace, you can become the director, right?"

"I don't think the position of director is something I don't deserve. I have served this country diligently for 40 years, but I have always been able to only serve as a deputy director. When Anderson said this, he suddenly tore off his gentle and elegant mask, and his expression became fierce, and he judged the two of them.

"And this is only because the old men who refuse to retire are stubbornly leading our country astray with their incompetence and ignorance, and at the same time suppressing people who are more talented and ambitious than them to take their place. The more Anderson spoke, the more excited he became, so much so that Pang Jindong even began to worry about whether he would suddenly have a heart attack.

After Anderson finished speaking, he sat there and gasped for breath for a long time, and gradually regained his composure.

Pang Jindong said slowly: "You shouldn't sue me for these things!"

"It is true that I should not sue you, but to prove my sincerity and trust in you, I don't mind letting you know this. ”

"Thank you!" Pang Jindong said, pouting.

Pang Jindong's idea is very simple, that is, to earn enough money to pay off his debts, and then say goodbye to his current life forever. Director Anderson's accusation to himself, whether it is really based on trust or not, is harmful to Pang Jindong. Because politics is a complicated and dangerous game, Pang Jindong really doesn't want to get involved.

Anderson got up and poured himself another glass of whiskey in front of the wine cabinet, returned to his seat and continued: "As for Congressman Eisen, he is a stubborn advocate of launching a drug sweep in South America, and killing him is also helping yourself. ”

Pang Jindong thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything you want to explain?"

"If you value life, you have to be careful. I can guarantee that you won't be wanted afterwards, but you must not be caught at the scene or in the vicinity once you have done so. If you don't make it, I want you to finish it yourself, or ...... Someone will help you. Anderson took a sip of wine and regained his gentlemanly appearance, but he talked about such dirty things in such an understatement tone, which made Pang Jindong feel very uncomfortable.

"What else?"

"Second, you have to keep secrets all your life. If you accidentally say it, we will all have a hard time, and you will die even worse. ”

"These are my professional rules as a mercenary. ”

"But you're a killer now, Jerry, and I hope you don't let me down, and I don't regret not getting rid of you. ”

"There are so many people here, aren't you afraid that they will leak out?" Pang Jindong said, looking at Anderson's men. They had been standing around like statues, not saying a word, not even moving.

"They are my most reliable men, otherwise they wouldn't be here. Even if I shoot them with a gun, they won't dodge. Anderson replied smugly.

"I have one more question. ”

"Please. ”

"I remember being in Mogadishu before I was forced to join your program. ”

"That's right. After you killed Addid, you were knocked unconscious by his men. ”

"How did I get to you? I'm surprised that Addid's men didn't kill me!"

"I must tell you frankly that the blockade of Heights 3 has always made me want to take you under my wing, and the Mogadishu incident has undoubtedly given me such an opportunity. After you became a prisoner, the people in Somalia from the Drug Control Bureau gave you to me as soon as possible. ”

Pang Jindong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Just like goods?"

"I must admit that in order to avoid unexpected trouble, we managed to keep you in a coma until you woke up at the training ground. ”

"Then I also cleaned my memory!" After a pause, Pang Jindong said again: "I didn't expect that the intelligence network of the Drug Control Bureau can not only fight drugs, but also do other things. ”

Director Anderson shrugged his shoulders and said, "Young man, let me tell you a truth: if you only focus on your own business and ignore the rest, then you will never be able to do your own thing!"

"So, you are fully aware of our covert operations in Mogadishu?"

"Yes!"

"That's not enough to explain why you have the ability to get me from Mogadishu to Utah. ”

"Many of Addis' men want him dead, and you've done them a favor. However, you should be most grateful for Aideed's son. After Eddie's death, little Aideed took his place, and if he hadn't let him go, you'd have been lying in the desert feeding the vultures by now. Of course, you should also thank me for having paid a fortune to buy Addison to get you here. ”

"I have a grudge against him for killing my father, and he will let me go so lightly?"

"You probably don't know, but little Aded used to serve in the Federal Marine Corps, and has always had a close relationship with me. If you hadn't killed his father, he still wouldn't have had a chance to take over. That means he should thank you, and the two of you can cancel each other out. ”

"This is the political ......" Suddenly, Pang Jindong wanted to laugh wildly. "For the sake of the government, the son can hope for the death of his father, and the subordinate can kill the ....... dirty politician of the superior. ”

Anderson ignored Pang Jindong's ridicule of himself, and said indifferently: "That's right, this is the political zhì, the dirty political zhì." ”

"Okay!" Pang Jindong suddenly stood up and said to Anderson, "Give me the details of the target person." ”

Anderson sat there steadily, looking at Pang Jindong. He did not rush to explain the task, but said: "There is one thing I don't understand. I have heard that you mercenaries value your brothers above all else, but why did your companions evacuate quickly after you were captured, but did not try to rescue you?"

Pang Jindong replied coldly: "Where do you understand the code of conduct of our mercenaries. ”

Pang Jindong is not surprised by this dual identity of House and his companions.

The government of country M has a complex number of various intelligence agencies, open, private, and semi-open, and not only has a large number of departments, but also has quite a large system of departments.

Although each of these departments has its own division of labor, there is overlap in terms of competence. Because the higher levels in the department want to make achievements and the lower levels want to make achievements, it is inevitable that the various departments will compete for merit and blame, and in addition, they will also compete for the budget and the establishment, and this situation has led to the mutual constraints of various departments.

As the world's only superpower, country M has the strength to defy any enemy, which gives the bureaucracy enough energy and resources to spend on this infighting. In fact, if it weren't for this reason, the intelligence services of country M could have exerted more power.

But human nature is ultimately selfish, and it is precisely out of the struggle for internal interests that people like House have emerged.

Because each department wants to know about the work of other departments and have information that they don't know, they send undercover agents to other departments.
