Chapter 811: The CIA
(Something happened yesterday, sorry!) )
United States.
CIA headquarters.
At this time, the CIA headquarters did not have the strong high-tech atmosphere of two years ago, and there were no computer screens hanging everywhere, and they were all hidden in the shadows.
On the contrary, many of the obvious places are hung with some calligraphy works with a strong oriental culture, as well as some ancient weapons, such as broadswords, long swords, spears and so on.
All this change, in House's view, is nonsense, which is a subversion of the CIA's tradition and its own culture. The American Mayflower migrated from Europe, and among the first Americans were many French, Spanish, Austrian, German, Italian, and even the British, who dominated the world at the time.
However, there was absolutely no Oriental on board, including Chinese and Japanese.
Even if the United States has no history and hundreds of years of heritage, the most secretly powerful sector in the United States should not rush to Chinese culture at this time.
What's more, at this time, China is the biggest enemy of the United States in the world, and it is also the biggest enemy of the European countries in the birthplace of the United States.
House had been with the CIA since twenty years earlier, cleaning up the darkest and most brutal Cold War period, returning from several missions in the Soviet Union, covered in wounds and witnessing the death of no fewer than ten of his companions in front of his eyes. It is now the more legendary in the CIA.
Now, however, House has no say in the CIA.
Six years ago, he was the deputy director of the CIA, but he never became a real director. Moreover, with the big changes in the director of the CIA in the last two years, his power has become less and less.
House was very unhappy.
However, no matter how unhappy he was, he also knew that whether it was Hill, who had just brought changes to the CIA before, or Elena, who had completely changed the CIA now, it was definitely not something he could provoke, and even if he couldn't see these two people, he had to admit it. The strength of these two people was beyond his imagination.
And he must admit it. The reason why these two people are stronger than ordinary people imagine is because they have been inherited from Chinese martial arts.
When Hill first took office, he thought about completely popularizing Chinese martial arts in the CIA, but there was great resistance at that time. The U.S. government as a whole has not yet fully felt the enormous pressure from China. At that time, the United States still regarded Russia, which had inherited eighty percent of the Soviet legacy, as its first enemy.
And Hill died quickly. He has been in office for less than a few months. A lot of things are still on paper and imaginary, only Ciel's apprentice Elena accepts Ciel's inheritance and knows very well what Ciel's wants to do.
Elena became the director of the CIA legend. No one knows how she managed to convince Mr. President, but neither she nor Hill were able to serve as the head of the Intelligence Service. Before Hill, many CIA directors were concurrently served by the director of the intelligence agency, and no matter how many things there were, big and small matters were handled by the first deputy director, so the first deputy director was actually the real director.
But since Hill's acceptance, the director of the CIA has become independent, and the real management of the CIA is directly responsible to the president, and the director of the intelligence bureau cannot force interference.
At the level of power, it has been raised a notch.
House used to wait for himself to become the first deputy director, so that he could be in charge of the entire CIA, but he was very unlucky, when it was his turn, he would not have such treatment, and could only honestly follow Elena's orders, a young woman of Spanish descent who was less than twenty-five years old.
After Elena took office, she showed real toughness and ruthlessness, and drastically reformed the entire CIA, especially in the training of fighters in each CIA, and carried out a lot of reforms, the most important of which is that in the training process, there will be a two-year training in oriental martial arts, and those who do not meet the standards cannot join the elite team and cannot be reused.
It's a hard and fast rule.
Moreover, I personally visited several relatively powerful underground Chinese forces in the United States, and reached some kind of cooperation with several underground Chinese forces, and invited several Chinese masters to teach oriental martial arts, each of which is a super master who can fight twenty at a time.
Of course, House has to say that in the eyes of ordinary people, or rather, in the eyes of him a few years ago, such a person is indeed a super master. But now, House just nodded and expressed his approval, barely a master, and he is still very far away from a super master.
In fact, House has always been very puzzled, and can even be said to be very depressed, why is the world changing so rapidly now?
He lived through the dark ages of the Cold War, a time when agents were flying all over the place.
At that time, whoever could fight ten at a time was a very well-known figure in the entire secret service world.
And now, one fights ten, and they are embarrassed to promote.
The world is changing too fast, and this change has been completed in an instant in just a few years, and everything comes from the rapid rise of China, and the rapid rise of China comes from the person who stored a whole G in the CIA's data room, and the information of a G is about a person, and this person is only seventeen years old. Of course, 80% of these data are analytical data, and there is not much specific information.
However, every experience and everything this young man did made the entire world shake.
Elena's father died at the hands of this teenager, and it is said that Elena's master, the previous director of the CIA, Hill, also died at the hands of this person.
"Hey, old!"
House in his forties feels old, but for an agent, forty is really the prime of life, this period is the peak of a man's energy, but also the peak of experience, and it is definitely the golden age of an agent.
However, House really felt that he was old, he had self-knowledge, and one finger of Elena could kill him.
Toot toot!
House rang Director Elena's practice room. This is the core of the entire CIA, and the director is not in his own office, nor is he staring at the computer screen all day long, watching those data analysis. The current director, Elena, spends most of her day practicing boxing in the practice room.
House was very unhappy about this.
But there is no way to be dissatisfied, because the last time the president came to inspect, Elena, as the director, did not receive him personally, the reason was to practice boxing.
Originally. The director doesn't care. As the current first deputy director, he should be the first person. But in fact, this is not the case, all things, although Elena does not often ask about everything, but everything. She knows everything. Everything related to China and Asia. They all need to ask her and make decisions herself.
And now, almost everything in the Intelligence Agency has to do with Asia. Central Asia had just ended the war, and ended a negotiation that shocked the world and related to the pattern of the world, and that period was the busiest time for the CIA, and it was supposed to send a large number of people to Central Asia, in order to obtain the best benefits for the United States, and it was best to obtain the right to station troops in the United States.
However, with a warning, that person ordered all the personnel of the secret services, including the United States, to withdraw from Central Asia.
Just because he doesn't like it.
The first person in the underground world, the first person in the actual power world, is so domineering.
At this time, no country's secret service in the world dares to confront that person in China, and no country is willing to pay the price for this, because with the example of the United States in front of it, no one dares to use common sense again.
The United States has paid the price of economic setback for two decades, and the reconstruction of New York has appeared in huge front-page headlines every day, but it has never been implemented because the United States has no money now......
The United States is out of money!
It's so embarrassing.
The C.I.A. has cut its funding by 20 percent for that purpose.
As the deputy director of the C.I.A., House knew very well why the United States had run out of money.
Because it has a huge army and a large number of military-industrial departments, including a large number of military-industrial research institutes. However, the entire vast military system has not been robbed of more volunteers in the world to keep it running, and it is now in a difficult situation, and it is said that the Diet is deliberating on a major reduction in military spending and the cessation of many research institutes that have not achieved results, or that the results have not worked for the time being.
If this matter is really passed, a large number of military industrial enterprises in the United States will close down next year, and the arms business that has supported the United States for 100 years will be gone forever.
But at this moment, a big event happened in Nanyang.
That person appeared in South Asia, and announced the establishment of the World Martial Arts Alliance, and all Chinese martial arts families would join, including the United States and Europe, as well as the Nanyang ones.
Such a strong announcement shows his great strength, and if he does not give others a chance to oppose it, the opposition will disappear.
If it really succeeds, China's rise will be even more unstoppable, it can be said that the general trend has been achieved, and no one can stop it.
And the power under the control of this person will become more and more huge, even to the point of being able to confront the United States on his own.
House came to see Elena the day before yesterday, and Elena gave him a document to Hathaway, asking Hathaway to go to India to find a European named Yang Wuji, and the information showed that he was the same brother of Director Hill, who was practicing in seclusion in India. After that, there was no news, and Director Elena didn't seem to be so enthusiastic about preventing this person from forming the World Martial Arts Alliance, as if it was dispensable.
This is a hard order issued by the Pentagon and the White House, and it must be fulfilled.
Although House didn't think he could stop it, because this man was too powerful.
But you have to make a show.
"It's me, House."
House whispered to Elena's practice room, and the door opened silently.
The white practice room, clean and clean, Elena was wearing a loose practice uniform, standing quietly in the middle, looking at House, and said lightly: "Mr. President asked you to come?" ”
"Yes, Mr. President said, let you go to a meeting. Yesterday I sent people to contact Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand, and some countries in Europe, all of whom expressed their disagreement with the establishment of the World Martial Arts Alliance, and they would join forces with us. Let's stop this from happening. ”
House's voice was a little nervous, every time he saw Elena, he was like seeing an angel in the Bible, whether it was looks, temperament, or strength on his body, it was the same.
"They asked us to send someone to Singapore to meet with their people and challenge that person together, and at the same time, the governments of each country would announce it. The formation of the Grand League of Martial Arts will not be recognized. will not agree to the formation of such a business alliance in their own country. ”
Elena seemed to be one with the whole room, and after listening to House's words, her eyes flashed, and she said, "Did Hathaway find the person I was talking about?" ”
House nodded, "Yes." Got it. Today we are in Singapore. According to Hathaway, the man was strange. ”
"I'm weird in your eyes too."
Elena said lightly: "This person is my uncle, if he can join the CIA." The strength of our CIA will be doubled. ”
"You arrange a plane for me, and I will go to Singapore immediately, and I will meet our old friends and invite Uncle Yang to join us."
House still nodded, in front of Elena, he seemed to have become an echo worm, but his expression was embarrassed: "Then the meeting at the White House ......"
"Go ahead, just say I don't have time."
Elena said nonchalantly.
In fact, the White House does not allow such a disobedient CIA director to be in front of its own eyes, but it is helpless.
Because, every time Elena reports something to the president, she appears in front of the president of the White House at any time without the permission of the president. There were five times in total, the first of which was to disturb Mr. President's sleep in the bedroom late at night, avoiding the sight of hundreds of elite bodyguards in the White House, as well as the surveillance system without dead ends.
For the first time, Mr. President removed the White House head of security and replaced most of the bodyguards.
However, the second time, in broad daylight, Mr. President was in the office working on papers, flirting with his secretary by the way. At this moment, Elena appeared in front of Mr. President without warning, and lightly handed him a piece of information. Mr. President at that time did not react so much as the first time, and after being a little surprised, he quickly regarded it as an ordinary meeting official business, talked to Alina, looked at the information, and let Elena go.
Later, Mr. President questioned more than 200 bodyguards, as well as staff staring at the surveillance screen, and none of them personally saw how Elena got in.
Five times in a row, for five months in a row, Mr. President did not get a good night's sleep.
He thought about removing this uncontrollable and elusive CIA, but he was afraid that the other party would show fierce revenge, and with the strength of the other party entering and leaving the White House at will, it was really too easy to kill himself.
Moreover, the current CIA is stronger, and many of the elite masters are raised by Elena, and some are even trained by Elena herself, if Elena is transferred or even removed for no reason, I am afraid that these people will not be able to control it.
For this, the White House compromised.
Elena became a special being.
It's like Wang Hengxiao's special status in China. However, Wang Hengxiao is because the power and resources under his control are too huge, and his own strength is also irresistible, so the government has to allow people like Wang Hengxiao to exist, and he has to allow the power in his hands to always exist.
House didn't dare to have any bad thoughts about Elena, there was an elite agent who came back from Europe, and he didn't know how powerful Elena was, relying on his handsomeness, and he had some credit, and publicly stated that he wanted to pursue Elena, and invited Elena to dinner and watch movies in public several times.
Elena has always refused, last week I couldn't bear it, the guy who Elena punched is still lying in the hospital, it is said that there are many bones all over the body, at least it takes about half a year to recuperate before he can get out of bed intact, and he can't exercise vigorously, in the agent industry, it's a waste.
House informed Elena's attitude, turned around and went out to arrange Elena's plane and report to the White House about his participation in the meeting.
Seeing House leave, a trace of exhaustion appeared on Elena's face - so tired!
At the same time, there are some expectations for the trip to South Asia.
Are you still so invincible?
Every time Elena is idle, the figure of that person will appear in her mind, it is not just hatred, the emotions are very complicated, she doesn't know it herself, but she knows one thing, that is, she is afraid, afraid that when she really has the opportunity to kill him one day, she will not be able to do it.
Faced with the enemy who killed her father and master, and wanted to kill her dreams, she would be afraid that she would not be able to do it, and she would not dare to face such a thing.
"Hoo ......"
Closing her eyes, Elena let out a long breath, slowly pushed out her fists, and practiced again.
The fists were slow, slow to the extreme, and it looked as if there was no movement, but it was really moving, because when you looked at it the next moment, her fist was already in another position.
It's weird, not the weird kind that seems to be slow and fast, but it's really slow weird.
But it was such a slow boxing technique, a strange boxing method born from Tai Chi, with Elena's fists slashing, a stream of qi condensed behind the fist, and the body also rotated slowly, the entire practice room shook slightly, and the sound of banging and banging shook the whole room.
The CIA staff outside all knew that the director had begun to practice boxing again, and there were so many big movements every day, and they were used to it. (To be continued......)
