Chapter 137: A Retaliatory Attack with Technical Content

Lieutenant General Morris, the head of the NSA, has been troubled lately, not because of his recent elevated blood lipids, but because of the recent scandals in the bureau.

The previous surveillance scandal is just that, although this incident made the whole world very annoyed, and he was subjected to pressure and criticism from public opinion, but after all, this matter was already done in the bureau before he took office, and it was done for many years, and it was authorized by the president, Congress and other departments, it is a reasonable and legal thing, and he is just continuing to do it.

In other words, although the Surveillance Gate incident has made itself controversial, to be precise, it has little impact on him, and he can laugh it off, but what his subordinate Thomson has done recently can't be regarded as a joke and pass by with a laugh.

You know, Thomson did what they did, but in China, they did not assassinate military and political dignitaries, but assassinated an ordinary businessman who seemed to everyone to be a very good person, and the most important thing was that the assassination failed, the killer was arrested, and everything that should be said and what should not be said was said.

Originally, the wiretapping incident greatly damaged the image of the NSA, but it can be said that it is for the purpose of counter-terrorism, which can finally be justified. In this way, although their own people are disgusted, they are not so panicked, but now as soon as the information that a hitman was sent to assassinate a businessman of a high-tech company in another country came out, and the killer also talked nonsense, saying that most of the world's high-tech companies were monitored, and a number of science and technology officials died in their "accidental assassination", then the situation was different.

Now is not the era of the Cold War, not to mention the foreign people, the American people may love to watch the assassination of agents if it is a movie or television, but if it appears in reality, then their opposition enthusiasm is also as high, and those congressmen and the like who rely on these public opinions, the power of protest is even stronger, let's just say that recently, several powerful congressmen have begun to impeach themselves, and if one is not done well, he will not be able to keep the position of director.

Of course, it doesn't matter, what annoys him the most is that Thomson's incident is different from the surveillance incident, he didn't know anything beforehand, he really didn't know!

Speaking of which, let's first talk about the composition of the NSA.

The NSA is indeed the largest espionage organization in the world, but just as the United States is not the president of the United States alone, in the entire bureau, he is not the director of the bureau, he does not say everything, knows everything.

Let's put it this way, engaging in espionage and intelligence work is actually a long-term investment in work, and it is not uncommon for movies and television to kill me and bomb you at every turn, but it rarely happens, especially after the end of the Cold War.

That is to say, the agents here, whether they are out of action or logistics support, are usually not easily dismissed because of their special status, and even if they are dismissed, there are many confidentiality policies, such as the one who made the spy door some time ago, just a non-staff person who was dismissed.

But while most of the NSA's employees are permanent employees, leaders like him are different, rarely promoted from within, and are mostly appointed by the president or the National Security Council. The president of the United States has a term of office, and members of Congress also have to sit in turn, so in fact, the director of the NSA seems to have a lot of power, but the frequency of replacement is very fast.

This situation is the result of the system of checks and balances in the United States, such as the president, although the president of the United States has a lot of power, but he has a term of office, and when the term of office is reached, he has to leave, so as to avoid too much concentration of power in the hands of one person, and similarly, as the most powerful intelligence agency in the United States, the NSA is also set up.

In short, the situation of the NSA is that the director is running and often changes, but most of the employees who work under him are long-term contract workers, and these people have been here for a long time, so they have naturally formed a deep-rooted circle and become a kingdom of reading intelligence.

This is the case with Thomson's Second Communications Division, which is ostensibly just a listening department, but in fact it is a reading intelligence unit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small intelligence agency, and there are many private actions, even the director does not know about it.

However, most of the private actions like that are some small things that happen on the fly, such as assassination, must be reported to the director anyway, and only when the director agrees, he will order his subordinates to carry it out, and there is a whole set of strict procedures during the period.

It's not impossible to bypass the director to carry out the assassination, but only if the assassination is successful, and no one is caught, and if the handle is caught, then things will be like now, and there will be big trouble.

Lieutenant General Morris was angry because Thomson hadn't greeted him at all before he did this, he was acting privately, and after he failed, the others disappeared, and as a result, he was left to bear the mess he made.

Now, everyone is staring at him, if he can't handle this matter well, then what awaits him is likely to be early retirement or transfer from his post, which his self-esteem will never allow.

Thinking of this, Morris felt his heart beat faster again, in order not to let his blood pressure get higher and higher recently, he began to close his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and calmed his mood, which suppressed the irritability and anger in his heart.

Immediately after, he rubbed his face and pressed the call button on the table: "Mina, come in, my head hurts a little, give me a massage." Oh yes, give me a cup of coffee by the way. ”

This is actually a secret word, the so-called headache is a little painful, on the surface, it seems that she wants to give a massage, just want to have a hair. Of course, with Morris's physical condition, it is unlikely that he will be able to do it himself, and he usually asks his secretary, that is, Mina, to give him a.

This is also a means for Morris to eliminate irritability, only through women can he relieve his inner irritability a little, and such a thing as whether there will be trouble with a female secretary like this is not a matter for him at all.

"General." There was a muffled female voice over the communicator, "I was about to inform you that Colonel Scott is here and wants to see you, you see?" ”

"Oh? Scott? Hearing that it was him, Lieutenant General Morris frowned and thought for a moment, "What did he come to me for?" ”

"The colonel said that he has made an important discovery, which is related to the disappearance of Thomson, and he said that he knows the specific location of Director Thomson at present, but because the matter is more sensitive, he wants to interview you separately first." The secretary said.

"That's right." Lieutenant General Morris nodded and began to tap his fingers.

To tell the truth, Lieutenant General Morris didn't like this Scott, the main thing was that this Scott was too bad-tempered and he was black. Although Lieutenant General Morris is not racist on the surface, he is a white supremacist at heart, while Scott is black, not to mention, he used to often contradict himself, if he was not really talented, maybe he would have found an opportunity to fire or transfer him a long time ago.

Thinking that Scott was indeed very talented in intelligence, and he also wanted to hear what he had gotten, he suppressed his lust and said softly: "Then let him in, well, the coffee will be brought over too." ”

"Okay, I'll let Colonel Scott know, and the coffee will be delivered right away."

After the communication was over, Lieutenant General Morris leaned back in his chair and slowly waited for Colonel Scott.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, followed by Scott's hard voice: "Your Excellency, I am Colonel Scott. ”

"Oh, come in, Colonel Scott." Morris said in a deep voice.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a black officer in a crisp military uniform entered from the outside.

The black officer was very tall, 1.85 meters, and he stood there as if he were a wall, full of courage.

Seeing Morris sitting behind his desk, the black officer Scott immediately strode over and saluted a standard military salute before saying, "Hello, General, I'm Colonel Scott." ”

"Oh, Scott, there's no need to be so restrained." casually returned an irregular military salute, and Morris kindly pointed to the chair in front of him, "Come, sit down." ”

"Yes!" Saluting again, Scott strode over to Lieutenant General Morris's desk and sat down.

"Well, Colonel Scott." Morris smiled, "I heard you're here for Thomson's business, isn't that so?" ”

"Yes." Scott smiled suddenly, "That's what I'm here for. ”

"Great." Morris nodded, "I'm having a headache about this, and if your news can solve my trouble, I won't treat you badly." ”

At this moment, the door opened again, and from the outside entered a blonde woman in a military uniform, who carried a tray with a delicate white porcelain coffee pot, two white porcelain cups, and a white porcelain milk jug, and a sugar cube.

After the female soldier came in, she quickly walked up to Lieutenant General Morris and gently put the tray on the table: "General, your coffee." ”

"Thank you, Second Lieutenant Mina." Morris pretended to nod, then looked at Colonel Scott, "Colonel Scott, do you want something to drink?" ”

"No, thank you." Scott nodded to Mina, "I don't have much time, soon, soon." ”

"Haha, well, since you don't need it, then drink coffee with me." Morris waved at Mina, and when Mina smiled and walked away, he picked up the coffee pot, filled both cups in the tray with coffee, and asked again, "Do you want sugar?" Milk? ”

"No, neither." Scott glanced at the coffee cup and said lightly.

"It turns out that you like black coffee, well, it's really a soldier." Morris nodded, pushed the pure coffee to Scott, and added a piece of sugar to his coffee, and some milk, "I can't, I prefer the taste of the mixture, of course, more precisely, because I'm old and always want to complicate simple things so that I can pass the time, don't you say?" ”

"yes." Scott shrugged.

Seeing his perfunctory appearance, Morris was not ready to continue, and began to ask: "So, Colonel Scott, I heard that you know the specific location of that bastard Thomson?" ”

"Yes." Scott nodded.

"Where's the damn bastard now?" Morris was angry again, no way, who made him be dragged down by this guy now.

When Scott heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but took out a detector, which was a device that checked for the presence of a bug.

"Don't worry." Seeing him like this, Morris was dissatisfied again, "No one here here dares to eavesdrop!" ”

"It's always good to be careful." Scott smiled, measured it again, and found that there was really no abnormal reaction, then nodded, "Director Thomson is in Huaguo now." ”

"Huaguo?" Morris was stunned, "What is he doing in Huaguo?" When did you go? ”

"He didn't go on his own." Scott smiled, "To be exact, he was captured, right here, at our NSA headquarters, he was captured, and then taken directly to Huaguo." ”

"Are you kidding?" Morris frowned, "You said Thomson was captured here?" And then he was arrested directly and went to Huaguo? ”

"I'm afraid so." Scott shrugged.

"How is this possible!" Morris didn't believe it at all, "I'm heavily guarded here, in a way stricter than the Ministry of Defense, how could outsiders come in here and quietly arrest Thomson?" Even if there were, it would never go undetected! ”

As soon as he said this, Morris suddenly calmed down, thinking that it was impossible for Scott to joke with him for no reason, plus the most taboo word impossible in the intelligence community, so he said in a deep voice: "Wait, Scott, where did you get your news?" What's going on? ”

"The specifics." Scott smiled, "The specific situation is that Mr. Thomson launched the assassination of Mr. Cheng Yuan without permission, which caused Mr. Cheng Yuan to be very angry, so he sent an action team to arrest Thomson here, and obtained the inside information from him about why he assassinated Mr. Cheng Yuan." In other words, this Mr. Thomson, who is staying in Huaguo Arrow Automobile Company at the moment, is of course being detained as a prisoner. ”

"Cheng Yuan? Arrow Motors? Hearing these words, Morris frowned again, "You mean, the one who captured Thomson is the one he wants to assassinate?" That lucky Chinese boy? ”

"That's right." Scott nodded.

"That's weird." Morris touched his chin, "Does that Cheng Yuan have that much power?" Silently take people from me, and still won't be found by me? I can't even do it myself, how can he do it? Well, could it be that we have their inner ghost here? ”

Thinking of this, Morris seemed to understand something: "Scott, could it be that you found out that we have internal annihilation here?" Was it these internal annihilations that kidnapped Thomson? ”

"There is indeed an internal annihilation." Scott smiled, "But the internal annihilation did not kidnap Thomson, Thomson was indeed kidnapped by outsiders." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Morris finally felt that something was wrong, because he felt that Scott's smile was very strange, and he spoke strangely, although the intelligence was shocked, but the credibility was very low, and he spoke paragraph by paragraph, as if he deliberately wanted people to guess, which was fundamentally different from what he had behaved in the past.

You must know that Scott in his impression has always been straight to the point, and he will not beat around the bush so much.

"Scott." Morris looked at the black officer opposite, "What's wrong with you today?" What's wrong with it? ”

"It's a little uncomfortable, indeed." Scott smiled, stood up suddenly, and then quickly took out a pistol with a silencer from his arms and aimed it directly at Morris in front of him.

Then, before Morris could react, Scott pulled the trigger and fired five shots in a row, all of which hit Morris's head, leaving Morris dead.

After killing Director Morris, Scott put the gun on the table, then walked to Morris's position, picked up Morris's hand, pressed the fingerprint reader on Morris's computer, opened Morris's computer, and then took out his mobile phone and connected it to Morris's computer, and then saw that Director Morris's computer began to seem to be swiping the screen, and a 1,0 number rain kept appearing.

Scott's mobile phone has actually been modified, when this mobile phone is connected to Morris's computer, Xiaolan can directly invade the interior of the entire NSA system and control all the core supercomputers of the NSA, naturally, it is equivalent to breaking through the entire protective network of the NSA and obtaining the information of the NSA.

It turned out that Colonel Scott had been mentally controlled by Vivian, so he was no longer the original him, but a puppet, and he came this time to carry out Cheng Yuan's revenge!

However, simple revenge is the most untechnical and wasteful behavior, so before retaliating, Cheng Yuan plans to let Xiaolan break through the internal system of the NSA and obtain all kinds of information that the NSA has collected for a long time.

You know, since the establishment of the NSA, its main function has been to listen to and collect all kinds of information from all over the world. Although this kind of surveillance is shameful, it has achieved remarkable results, not to mention its significance in counter-terrorism and other military and political aspects, but also in the fields of science and technology and economy.

Why has the United States been able to maintain its advanced superiority in various fields? It's because he listens to others all the time and steals the fruits of others all the time.

Not to mention political dignitaries, just in the field of science and technology and economics, the telephone and communication of famous and unknown scientists all over the world are within the scope of their monitoring, once they find out that someone has any scientific research innovation, they will immediately hand over the relevant eavesdropped information to the relevant departments, and then the relevant departments will evaluate the value of this scientific research and innovation, and then make such a thing as either sending someone to actually steal it, or accelerating research and development on their own.

To put it bluntly, the NSA's surveillance program is a kind of surveillance in the political and military fields, and in the fields of science and technology and the economy, it is a kind of naked piracy and theft.

Therefore, the core of the United States' science and technology is not the mysterious Area 51, but the most expensive NSA surveillance program, and it is precisely with this plan that the United States can steal intelligence all over the world and constantly maintain its comprehensive superiority in intelligence, economy, and technology.

Being able to break through the NSA headquarters and obtain a large amount of intelligence accumulated by the NSA can be said to be equivalent to obtaining the United States' long-term accumulation of intelligence in the economic, political, scientific and technological fields, and its effect is simply more powerful than dropping nuclear bombs in Washington and other regions.

However, as the world's strongest hacker concentration camp, that is, where the so-called Cyber Command is located, it is even more difficult to break through here, first of all, many databases here are not physically connected to the outside network, and only by intruding into the interior can these materials be accessed with the authority of the director.

Therefore, Scott took the opportunity to report the situation to kill the director, and then used his computer to connect to his mobile phone, so that Xiaolan could hack into the NSA headquarters through wireless connection and obtain the information inside.

Although the intelligence information of the NSA headquarters is huge, the process of Xiaolan's invasion does not take long, and it only needs to let Xiaolan implant a doppelganger Trojan in it, and then the intelligence can be sent out little by little through various methods.

Soon, after the computer showed that the Trojan horse implantation had worked, Scott turned off the computer, and then discreeted the computer, which pushed the headshot director away and sat himself in the director's seat.

Immediately afterwards, Scott took out a cigar from the drawer, lightly lit it with a long-handled match, took a few sips, and drank some coffee that Director Morris had personally concocted, but had not had time to drink, and then smiled slightly and picked up his phone again.

"Goodbye, world!"

After speaking, he pressed a button on his mobile phone, and immediately after, he heard a bang, and the entire director's office was blown up!

And at the same time that Scott blew himself up, there were also successive explosions in the offices of various division chiefs and team leaders at the NSA headquarters! (To be continued.) )
