When Zhou Yulong came back, Liu Wei called Zhou Fen over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The key is how much the Yankees know and how they connect the dots."
Everyone agrees with Zhou Fen's views.
"At that time, it was CIA Deputy Director Ricker who was arresting Lyon, and he knew best what was happening at the FPF's underground experimental base." Liu Wei said in detail, mainly because Zhou Fen didn't know much about what happened in Yueben. "Judging from this, it is very likely that he connected the incident with the book."
"What does U.S. internal security affairs have to do with the CIA, isn't that the FBI's business?" Zhou Yulong asked.
"After the 9/11 incident, the U.S. federal political axe established a security linkage mechanism, and later extended it to all states, after a major security incident, all federal political axes and local state political axes agencies must fully cooperate. The CIA will not be involved in domestic security matters, but will provide assistance to the FBI in any way it can. ”
After listening to Zhou Fen's explanation, Zhou Yulong nodded thoughtfully.
"I heard Lao Li say that several of our spies have been arrested, but none of them have anything to do with today's operation."
"In other words, for the time being, the FBI and CIA will not find out about us."
Liu Wei nodded and answered Zhou Fen's question.
"It's useless to talk so much, just ask that guy for an explanation." Mobei Wolf came up with his own idea, and did not surprise the others. Since it was determined that he was investigating Lyon's background, he must have guessed that what happened today had something to do with the destruction of the FPF base. As long as you find him, you can find out what the Yankees are trying to do. ”
"It's too reckless." Zhou Fen shook his head with a smile.
"Old Zhou, when did you become so cautious?"
"Do you think it's still when you were in K1?" Zhou Fen glanced at Mobei Wolf and said, "Intelligence operations pay the most attention to secret surnames, if we find him, even if we can catch him and not be discovered by others, the CIA will also carry out an investigation, and sooner or later we will be able to find out about the matter." In doing so, it would be tantamount to admitting that Beard's abduction was related to the destruction of the FPF experimental base. While we can take this opportunity to send Professor Beard away, the intelligence agencies of both countries will know that the FPF test base was not destroyed by [***] test subjects, but by someone else. ”
"Lao Zhou is right, as long as this step is checked, the Military Intelligence Bureau is the most suspicious."
Zhou Fen nodded, and then Liu Wei's words said: "Even if we don't consider this intelligence agency, we have to consider our actions in the United States. As long as the U.S. intelligence agencies have capable people, they can immediately think of what is happening in Afghanistan, and the most basic response is to transfer the stolen gold. ”
"Isn't that the opportunity we're waiting for?"
"What chance?" Zhou Yulong asked Mobei Wolf.
"Once we find Beard, we're going to have to raise money for the follow-up research, and Dian Bin has already said that if we find that batch of gold, we'll get three billion dollars." Mobei Wolf smiled and said, "So far, we don't know the whereabouts of that batch of gold. If the Yankees bury the gold, I'm afraid we'll never find it. As long as the Yankees transfer the gold and make a move, we have a chance, don't we? ”
"It's true, transferring a few hundred tons of gold will definitely make a big move."
"And thousands of tons of silver."
Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "Old wolf, even if you know the transfer route of gold, is there a way to start?" ”
Mobei Wolf was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about this problem yet.
"The most ideal mode of transportation is rail, and if it's in the Mississippi River Basin, you can also consider inland waterway shipping. It is not easy for us to start with either way, and it is impossible to transfer it in time. There's only one way to get started, and that's by road. Even so, the Yankees will arrange a lot of escorts, and even send troops. ”
"Dispatch troops? Unlikely. ”
Liu Wei glanced at Zhou Yulong, and said: "If it is arranged by me, and it can only be taken by road, I will send troops to escort dangerous materials, such as nuclear waste, chemical weapons agents, etc." Because the gold is likely to be stored in abandoned or soon-to-be-abandoned military bases, the use of this name to mobilize troops will not attract public attention. ”
"It's true, with the army escorting, the chances of success are very slim." Zhou Fen fully agrees with Liu Wei's analysis.
"In that case, we're going to have to fight the Fed."
Liu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "It's not time to think about this matter, the question now is if we deal with the CIA's investigation of Lyon." ”
"Let Lao Li have a headache, he must have a way, maybe he can take the opportunity to put the Yankees together." Mobei Wolf was not interested at once.
Zhou Fen thought for a while and said, "I think it's better to delay it, don't talk to death." ”
"That's all I can do." Liu Wei sighed and said, "Just if you do this, Damu Ronggu's identity will be easily exposed, and the old jackal will also be threatened." ”
"Then we can only get them ready to leave the book."
"That's fine, let the old jackal come over, and we'll gather together again." After the Mobei Wolf finished speaking, he laughed.
Zhou Fen smiled and shook his head, the four of them were in the same period, and they hadn't been together for more than twenty years.
"Nothing else, just leave it at that."
Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong immediately got up to say goodbye, because they abandoned the car halfway, the two of them almost walked back from California, and they had long wanted to go to bed.
Zhou Fen stayed until the end, and after the two went out, he closed the door and walked back.
"Brother Zhou, is there anything else?"
"Did your eldest sister call back?"
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he almost forgot about it. "Yumi is in trouble with her studies."
"No trouble, it's already done, and I got the admission recommendation letter from Rodin Girls' School. Although the foundation is a little poor, she hired the best tutor, and the little girl is also very serious and sure to pass the entrance exam. Sister Bao asks you if you want to take the time to go over and have a look. ”
"To England?"
Zhou Fen nodded and said, "There is no need to make a decision in a hurry, there are still some procedures that have not been completed, and there is still more than a month to leave school." ”
"It depends, if you have time, I'll go over and have a look, I haven't been to England yet."
"One more thing."
"What?"
"She didn't make it clear on the phone, she just said that it was related to the knighthood."
"Knighthood!?" Liu Wei's eyes widened.
"It seems that the British finances are tight, and they are ready to drastically cut the royal family's budget, and even consider taxing the royal family, so the British royal family has decided to open up its financial resources and sell knighthoods to celebrities around the world."
"Can you sell this thing?"
"Of course you can, before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the British sold it."
"Cheap?"
"It's cheap in Hong Kong, but this time it's different."
"What's the difference?" Liu Wei came to be interested.
"What is sold to Hong Kongers is not a genuine title, but only for citizens of colonial and Commonwealth member states. This time it is a genuine title, and I heard that the price is not low, and there are additional conditions. ”
"What's the strings attached?"
"I don't know, she didn't make it clear, she just said that if you are interested, prepare enough funds and discuss it in detail in the UK."
"So, Sister Bao really wants us to go to the UK."
"It's okay to go, it's more than a month away anyway."
"Okay, we'll talk about it then."
Zhou Fen didn't delay any longer, got up and said goodbye.
Liu Wei called Dian Bin, then went to take a shower and went to bed.
Because on the way to San Francisco, Liu Wei called Rina Tanaka and asked her to take the others out camping, so he was the only one in the room at this time. This is also done to prevent accidents. If the operation fails, or if they encounter other methods, Rina Tanaka and the others can escape in time.
With Kotone Takeuchi and others following, it won't be much danger for a group of girls to go camping.
The next morning, after Liu Wei woke up, Rina Tanaka and the others had already returned to the hotel, ordering food in the room, and asked the waiter to bring breakfast.
For these girls, camping in the desert is definitely a very exciting thing.
As soon as Liu Wei entered the living room, Xiao Canglai greeted him and pestered him to tell him about camping.
In this regard, Liu Wei really did not have much interest.
People who come out of K1, who will take camping seriously?
Finally finished breakfast, Liu Wei drove a group of girls to sleep, and then asked the waiter to clean up the room.
Not long after, Situ Wenhui rushed over.
"I have received the news, and Lao Li is arranging a coping strategy."
"What about people?" Liu Wei did not mention Beard, because it was already a sensitive word.
"I'm still in the United States, and I'll send him away in a few days."
"Is it safe?"
"Absolutely safe, with Dian Bin with you, it will be fine."
Liu Wei nodded and said, "Dian Bin mentioned the gold matter to me, and the main reason why we came to the United States is for this, do you have any clues?" ”
"Lao Li explained to me in detail, to be honest, there are really not many clues."
"What do you mean?" Liu Wei looked at Situ Wenhui. Yes is yes, no is no, what is "really not much"?
"Before you came, Lao Li instructed us to track down the gold that was shipped back from Afghanistan. We found small companies that had only been incorporated in the last few years, and most of them were leather bag companies. After the incident was exposed, these companies were deregistered. Although we checked the legal representative of the company, that is, the boss behind the scenes, we did not find anything, and the identities of all the registrants were fake. ”
"No other clues?"
Situ Wenhui sighed and said, "All the clues are broken, and we can only conclude that the people who did these things are very well hidden, and they have a close relationship with the power of the federal political axe. As a rough inference, the gold must have been hidden in a secret base somewhere, most likely a military base that has long been abandoned. It is a great pity that the United States has tens of thousands of military bases, and there are thousands of abandoned military bases. We can find some of it, but it doesn't make much sense, because it's all public information. ”
Liu Wei thought of all of this, and he thought of more than that.
After pondering for a while, Liu Wei said: "What would you do if you were to deposit this gold in the vault of the Federal Reserve Bank, that is, bleach? ”
"Bleach?" Situ Wenhui looked at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei nodded, indicating that this was what he meant. Situ Wenhui's eyes showed that she had guessed Liu Wei's thoughts.
