Chapter 130: Covering Identity

Someone infiltrated the "51st District" and poisoned the only [***] test subject in full view, causing an immediate earthquake within the U.S. Security Intelligence Security and Homeland Security system. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it was later found that the top-secret information of "Area 51" had not been leaked, and the infiltrators had not entered other areas, who could guarantee that similar things would not happen before or in the future?
Lucas was still on his way to Langley when the news reached the White House.
Norris put aside his tedious administrative work and summoned the head of intelligence and security for an emergency meeting.
Although Lucas was not the CIA's deputy chief of operations, he took on the duties of deputy chief of operations and was the first senior intelligence officer to arrive on the scene, qualifying to participate in the emergency meeting.
Through a video call, Lucas reported the situation and made a comprehensive analysis.
The first is that Leon must have something to do with Ricker's death, and it is very likely that Ricker got a clue from Leon and found something that led to his death. The second is that there are spies from other countries in the Pentagon, the National Security Agency, and the CIA, which led to the leak of the news that he went to the "51st District", which gave the infiltrators a chance. The third is that there are serious vulnerabilities in the internal communication networks between federal agencies and military agencies, otherwise infiltrators would not be able to tamper with his personal data. Finally, the infiltrator is very familiar with the United States and Nelly Air Base, so he can easily succeed.
Because the CIA is not responsible for domestic security, these issues are kicked to the security services.
All the CIA can do is to assist the FBI and other intelligence and security agencies to conduct internal investigations and find out the moles hiding in them.
As for the other issues, they basically have nothing to do with the CIA.
Before the meeting, Norris issued a presidential order: a full investigation into the cause of Rickel's death was conducted, and other departments had to assist Lucas; Thoroughly investigate the intelligence and security system, transfer suspects from their current posts, and conduct a one-by-one review; Re-establish the internal communication network and look for relevant clues; Led by the FBI and assisted by the CIA, a covert investigation was conducted on foreign nationals, especially those with ties to the mainland.
In the end, Norris did not forget to give Lucas a small benefit: he was officially appointed deputy director of operations for the CIA.
These things are easier said than done.
Lucas has been investigating the cause of Rickel's death, and the best clue is Leon, but the guy is dead, and unless a miracle happens, it will be difficult to make a bigger breakthrough.
The internal inventory of the intelligence and security system is cumbersome, and it takes a lot of effort to just identify the suspects. If the scope is too large, it will inevitably reduce the efficiency of the intelligence and security system and have an impact on the ongoing investigation. If the scope is too small, there may be fish that slip through the net, so it is better to do nothing.
The internal communication network between federal and military agencies is very complex, and even changing the communication protocol can involve dozens of departments, not to mention the cost, and take up a lot of administrative resources. Considering the amount of money spent, it is a question of whether it will be able to gain support in Congress.
As for the investigation of foreigners, it is even more nonsense. The United States is a country of immigrants, with tens of millions of Chinese and millions of Chinese Americans, and even if some of them are excluded, the scope of the investigation is very large, far beyond the capabilities of intelligence and security agencies, and even political conflicts can be triggered by it.
Norris is not a, so special emphasis is placed on the "secret investigation".
If there is a scandal at this time, especially the scandal related to the book, let alone Norris, I am afraid that even the Mingzhu Party will not be able to step down.
Unfortunately, this round of investigation does not pose any threat to Liu Wei.
Now he is an honorary citizen of the United Kingdom, holds a knighthood from Prince Philip, maintains a good relationship with Princess Anne, and befriended some big names.
No matter how good those intelligence and security agencies are, they will not immediately find out about Liu Wei's head.
It's just that Liu Wei is not satisfied, because he doesn't have time to get to know the "51st District" well, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to shoot some useful things.
Back in Reno, Liu Wei called Zhou Fen over and gave a general introduction to the situation.
"It's good now, whether he dies or not, at least there is no threat to us."
"The problem is, the Yankees aren't going to rest on their laurels."
Zhou Fen thought for a while and said: "If such a big thing happens, the Yankees will naturally not give up, and they will definitely make a name for themselves." Zhang Jinnan has arranged for you to contact Taiwan's arms procurement negotiators as soon as possible, and then go to Rogers. As long as you catch the Skull Party, it's not a big problem. ”
"Is there any news from Lao Li?"
"Zhang Jinnan is arranging, and it's just a matter of the next few days."
Liu Wei nodded and said, "That's the best, let's wait patiently for a few days." ”
Three days later, Liu Wei received information from Li Tingxuan that the Taiwanese administration had approved Chang's proposal and authorized him to take action.
At the same time, there were also relevant materials of Taiwan's arms procurement negotiators.
Because the Taiwan authorities are not a sovereign state and do not have a foreign affairs agency in the United States, they do not go through the usual channels, but through the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce in the United States.
The main person in charge is Li Xuechang, president of the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce.
Unlike the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce in the United States is not under the responsibility of the Defense Security Agency, but is managed by the Reading Department under the Presidential Office.
Li Xuechang is not an intelligence officer, nor is he in charge of intelligence work.
He had only one responsibility: to engage with the United States.
Under normal circumstances, he is only responsible for making arrangements for the travel of dignitaries of the administration to the United States, communicating with the United States on major matters, and conveying some basic information to the administration.
Comparatively, the job is easy and not much stressful.
It's just that when it comes to arms procurement, it's not so simple.
The information provided by Zhang Jinnan was very detailed, and Li Xuechang was only the person in charge in name, while the actual negotiation work was carried out by the personnel dispatched by the administration. These people are either from the military or from relevant departments, and all of them are traveling to the United States on business trips.
All Li had to do was arrange accommodation for them and contact the relevant personnel of the US authorities.
It was only after Zhang Jinnan contacted Li Xuechang and explained the National Defense Security Bureau's assistance in the negotiation work that he sent a message to Liu Wei and asked him to find Li Xuechang.
Liu Wei didn't delay much, and went to Los Angeles after receiving the news.
Although Mobei Wolf had already swept away the black gangs in Los Angeles and expelled the Mexican gangs, he did not arrange many personnel here, leaving only a few dozen people to supply the lower-level distribution personnel. Replacing the black gangs with the Mexican gangs were local Chinese gangs, and Liu Wei was not very familiar with the bosses of these gangs.
When he arrived in Los Angeles, he did not make a big fuss, but went straight to Li Xuechang.
This guy has lived and worked in the United States for more than ten years, most of the time in Los Angeles, and it is impossible not to know Liu Wei's relationship with the local Chinese gang.
According to Liu Wei's guess, he must have had dealings with Chinese gangs.
When he saw Liu Wei, Li Xuechang was also very surprised, because he knew Liu Wei, but he didn't expect Liu Wei to be from the National Defense Security Bureau.
"Mr. Liu, you are so surprised."
"Please also forgive President Li, these are all arrangements from the top, and I must obey orders."
"Of course, we're all the same." Li Xuechang smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Liu's stall in the United States is very large and makes a lot of money. ”
"I make a small amount of money, where can I compare to Chairman Lee."
Li Xuechang smiled again, he only knew that Liu Wei was thriving in Las Vegas and was still doing a lot in Reno, and he didn't know that Liu Wei controlled one-third of the drug market in the United States, so he didn't know how much money Liu Wei made, but he felt that it would not be less.
Anyway, there are still billions of dollars.
Of course, this is not enough money for the purchase of hundreds of billions of dollars in arms.
After being polite, Li Xuechang went straight to the point and said, "What is Mr. Liu going to do?" ”
"According to Shangfeng's intentions, I mainly provide you with intelligence support, and do not directly participate in the negotiations. If this deal can be facilitated, Shangfeng will make other arrangements. ”
Li Xuechang nodded and said: "I am not responsible for the specific negotiation work, but the current problem is very prominent." ”
"What's the problem?"
"The Yankees have always been suspicious of our intelligence security system, believing that selling us advanced weapons and equipment is likely to lead to the loss of technology."
"Could it be that the Yankees are doing better than we are?"
"What do you mean?"
"Chairman Lee should know about what happened some time ago, right?"
Li Xuechang frowned.
"The fighter jets that Ben bought."
"You mean ......"
The Yankees claimed that the accident was caused by meteorology, and the wreckage of the fighter was found, but at the time of the incident, there was no bad weather at all. Besides, the most advanced fighter in the world, which can't withstand even a thunderstorm, can it be convincing? Liu Wei smiled and said, "According to the information I obtained, this is a typical intelligence security incident, and the Yankees have only found the wreckage of ten fighter jets, including the one that flew back, and the whereabouts of one fighter jet are unknown." If the Yankees doubt our intelligence security system, they are more worthy of introspection. ”
"Mr. Liu didn't lie to me?"
"President Lee, you can call and ask. Of course, this is top secret, so you'll have to ask the big boss and he'll tell you personally if that's the case. ”
"Mr. Liu laughed, I also think this matter is very strange, I didn't expect it to be so bad."
"If the Yankees bring up the matter of security again, Chairman Lee knows what to say, right?"
"Know, of course I know, it's just ......"
"You must not tell the Yankees the source of the information, because my identity must be kept absolutely secret."
Li Xuechang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Understood, I know what to say." It's just that there are other problems besides that. ”
"It's good to have problems, and it's strange if there are no problems." Liu Wei also laughed and said, "I will try my best to provide relevant information and fully cooperate with the arms procurement work." If you have any questions, Chairman Lee can contact me, or contact my assistant, the casino manager of the 'Pyramid Palace'. ”
Liu Wei said naturally Zhou Fen.
"Is he reliable?"
"Absolutely."
"Okay, there's news, I'll let you know in time."
"President Li, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Liu Wei got up and said, "Please Chairman Li must remember that you can't tell anyone about me." ”
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, you have never been here, and I have never seen you."
Liu Wei smiled, and then said goodbye and left.
