Chapter 448: Exchanging Intelligence?
Evening, Japan, Tokyo, Minato-ku, U.S. Embassy in Japan.
The US ambassador to Japan frowned and looked at the written transcript sent by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday, which repeatedly mentioned the deployment of secret equipment by the US military stationed in Japan, and wanted the US side to at least give Japan a formal briefing on the danger of the new equipment, and the Japanese side's request to raise this question was quite reasonable; after all, several of the military bases in Japan were located near cities, and Japan was worried that the location and equipment would have an impact on the health of the Japanese people, not that it cared about the life and death of its citizens, but that it was trying to find an excuse in advance for possible accidents.
In fact, Mr. Ambassador knows what the secret equipment is, that is, the lost person system that various security and military departments in the United States are very keen on, although the ambassador has not seen it with his own eyes, but he has seen the relevant intelligence notices, and in general, the lost person is a kind of equipment used for camouflage.
The ambassador once heard from a friend who had returned from the Middle East that the Lost System was a device that could really change the pattern of conventional warfare, so neither the Pentagon nor the intelligence services wanted to give it to their allies. Mr. Ambassador actually understands that this actually means that the US military itself has no way to completely restrain the lost system, so the only option is not to give it to any allies.
Mr. Ambassador also heard that the device had been developed by the adopted daughter of a Chinese descent adopted by a diplomatic family. She was supposed to be a pawn in an intelligence agency's plan to raise America's image, but it turned out to be the idea of hiding her from the intelligence community. At the same time, this adopted daughter herself is also very thoughtful, and her understanding and response to the entire power structure are very appropriate, and she herself has developed another force without touching the interests of the power structure, and this force is very smoothly combined with the current power structure, which makes many people in the circle dare not underestimate her.
After the ambassador thought for a while, he looked at the manuscript in his hand again, then rubbed his frowning brows, and said to himself: "Why are the Japanese so troublesome, can't they see it like the Koreans!"
In fact, one of the most annoying things for the ambassador to Japan is that the Japanese run to the military base and around the embassy to protest at every turn, look at how well-behaved the South Koreans were when they protested against the import of American beef a few days ago, and only dared to besiege the police and presidential palace of their own country, but they did not dare to go to the area around ≡s_the↙US military base in South Korea. , one by one, they stand neatly and neatly, as if the stars take makeup photos......
However, since the Japanese have sent official diplomatic news, the ambassador to Japan really can't pretend that he hasn't seen it, and he is now waiting for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' attitude towards this document, in fact, he knows that the security forces of this embassy have also added four lost people, but because it involves military secrets, he is not very clear about the specific situation.
Seeing that the incident was about to reach half past six in the evening, the answering machine on the desk finally rang, and the ambassador slowed down for a moment before pressing the answering keypad, and then heard the secretary on duty say: "Mr. Ambassador, the express mail that has just been delivered in China, and the sender asks you to sign for it in person." ”
The ambassador immediately understood that the person who came to explain the situation to him was afraid that the level of secrecy was similar to his, and the text sent could only be read under the supervision of the other party, so the ambassador first responded to the answering machine and said, "Please let them in." After the call, the ambassador straightened his suit again, then sat in a chair and waited for the other party to enter.
Soon, there was a knock on the door of the room, but the person who entered the door was a man known to Mr. Ambassador, who was an intelligence officer from the Yokota base, but the other party was now wearing civilian clothes, and there was an Asian man in his forties.
After the intelligence officer closed the door, he first shook hands with the ambassador politely, and then introduced the Asian, and the ambassador realized that the other party was actually sent by the Japanese Intelligence Committee of the Diet.
The three of them chatted casually for a while, without saying anything about the purpose of their gathering, until the ambassador's secretary knocked on the door and entered, brought a cup of coffee to all three, and went out, the three stopped talking, and only then did the intelligence officer take out a military laptop from the bag he had brought, open it, and hand it to the ambassador to Japan.
Next, the ambassador looked intently at the text on the computer, while the other two sat there silently, not even holding their coffee cups, and the air in the room seemed to freeze. After about ten minutes, the ambassador slowly turned his head and handed the computer back to the intelligence officer, who took it and put it back in his bag, and the air in the room relaxed again.
The ambassador first took a sip of coffee that was a little cold, and then asked, "So, Phoebe and Barbara are on guard at all times during the day, and all bases and intelligence stations must be vigilant at all times?"
At this time, the middle-aged Asian man shook his head and smiled: "Actually, in terms of security, Titan can handle it by himself, but the Congress means that it wants all stations and bases in Japan to be able to respond to Barbara or Phoebe's request for help at any time, just like the request said, Phoebe's security should also be included in national security, and if necessary, Mr. Ambassador should immediately propose relevant cooperation to the Japanese government." ”
Ambassador to Japan diǎn diǎn head, for the interests of the country is the basic professional ethics of diplomats, and Phoebe is also considered a rare elite in the diplomatic system, it is rumored in the circle that she has also helped two families who have adopted her, which makes her reputation in the circle not ordinarily good.
However, the ambassador to Japan was puzzled: "But it's too difficult for that Korean group from girls' generation to come to Japan to develop, right? You also know how fierce the competition in the Japanese entertainment industry is, and Japanese artists dare not take it lightly, and if foreign artists do not have absolute competitiveness, they will not be able to develop here at all, so they can only go back to their own country and complain that the Japanese entertainment industry is too closed, so as not to be too embarrassing......
The middle-aged Asian man smiled when he heard this, glanced at the somewhat helpless intelligence officer beside him, and then said: "Phoebe was planning to enter the Japanese market half a year ago, to be honest, no one really noticed her actions at that time, but recently her Titan has reached cooperation with several major media groups in Japan, among which the most tempting for the Japanese is to hand over the simplified version of the lost to the Japanese Dentsu Group for outdoor advertising, and the Japanese can't resist it at all." ”
The ambassador to Japan looked at this American with Japanese descent who introduced himself as adopted forty years ago, diǎn diǎn head, and by the way, glanced at the expression of the intelligence officer, and suddenly understood that it seemed that the Pentagon did not seem to be very happy about this matter, although what was offered to the Japanese was a simplified type.
The ambassador to Japan, who knew how the U.S. television manufacturing industry was defeated by the Japanese, suddenly understood that what the Pentagon was worried about was that the Japanese would completely crack the lost system through the simplified system, but it seemed that the Congress was not so worried about this, but had the intention of contributing to it. Mr. Ambassador's mind is like a lightning turn, and he immediately understood, it seems that Phoebe has only provided the lost system to the military and intelligence system to supply the practice of some people in the Congress have long been a little dissatisfied, and sure enough, after the weakening of military technology is applied to the civilian field, everyone can make money, and what is the effect of the civilian use of this technology, everyone is not sure, and now Phoebe herself has chosen to let the Japanese as an experiment, it is better, as for the future, Phoebe, who must know the rules of the game very well, will not let everyone down......
Thinking of this, Mr. Ambassador's heart is also a little hot, he also wants to meet with Phoebe, at least to get familiar with it first, his main purpose is naturally not money, but for the political capital that Phoebe can drive, of course, it is also a good result to earn diǎn money by the way.
Seeing the ** in Mr. Ambassador's eyes, the middle-aged Asian man suddenly had a slight smile on his lips, at some point, as long as he is a politician, no matter what field he is, his thoughts are actually the same, only the intelligence officer did not see that Mr. Ambassador has established some kind of tacit understanding with the middle-aged Asian man next to him.
So the intelligence officer said: " I also have some information on the cooperation between Phoebe and the Japanese, due to the particularity of Japan's social structure, Japan's underground forces Yoshimoto have received a warning from Langley Company, they are unlikely to make a move on Phoebe, and even take the initiative to help Phoebe when she is in trouble, but it is not excluded that some people will have extreme ideas, according to the report of Barbara, the bodyguard that Langley has been arranging by Phoebe's side, Phoebe herself also has a strong ability to protect herself, but because of the face recognition barrier, she can't accurately identify friend and foe in the crowd, in densely populated areas in Japan, security work may be very troublesome。 The Pentagon's idea is that it wants Mr. Ambassador to make a request to the Japanese government, and that is the right to carry guns to Phoebe's bodyguards?"
The ambassador was stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "When Hilton came to Japan a few days ago, the Japanese government did not allow her bodyguards to be equipped with guns. ”
The middle-aged Asian man smiled again: "It's not a big problem, to be honest, the Congress can't keep up with this Phoebe's idea." She is actually going to let various TV stations follow the sign language interpreter who went to the scene during the Paralympic Games, so as to complete her debut on Japanese television, in addition, she also did the research report of the Black Water Book at various colleges in Boston a few days ago, it is said that the University of Tokyo has always wanted her to come to Japan to give a speech, if this happens, her image and reputation in Japan will be more positive than that of the Hilton loser, plus she has obtained the cooperative attitude of the Japanese emerging capital group, so the problem of matching power should not be big. ”
The ambassador immediately shook his head, and then asked, "Didn't anyone persuade her to quit the Korean group?" ”
This time, the middle-aged Asian finally sighed: "Actually, this idea is not only for us, but even the subordinates of the company she started have the same idea, but she seems to regard the activities in this group as a vacation and relaxation, what can we do?"
The ambassador thought that many geniuses always had some quirks, and suddenly diǎn diǎn head.
At this time, the intelligence officer shook his head and said: "Actually, the security problem should not be big, there is an unsolved case that has not been solved, but the intelligence circle believes that the security department under Titanus did it, and it is very similar to the methods of the private security forces of some big families." The biggest problem is that she is going to China in person, and everyone is worried that the Chinese will leave her behind or leak any secrets. ”
When the ambassador heard this, he said, "Indeed, the Chinese do seem to have some means that we don't understand, but I heard that Phoebe is also very cautious about China, I think it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Speaking of this topic, the middle-aged Asian man's expression was also a little solemn, and he said with some uncertainty: "I don't know, but she seems to have donated a lot of money to the Chinese embassy in Tongguò this year, to several disasters in China, and is also ready to cooperate with the art academy of the squadron to make a movie, but did not disclose any scientific and technological secrets to the Chinese, even if the Chinese noticed her, they would not do anything during the Olympics, right?" But we can't restrict her from going to Beijing now, after all, she attaches great importance to bringing that Korean group into the Japanese market, and no one will disappoint others in terms of personal hobbies, right?"
After saying that, the other two diǎn diǎn heads, and then the office fell silent......
