Chapter 213: There Is No Cave (01)
Through the images sent back by the field agents, they watched the whole process of raiding the vault, it was a large warehouse, a team of 11 field agents encountered very fierce resistance, and after half an hour of hard fighting, it was completely occupied, and when they entered the inside, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, they found that the warehouse was just a disguise on the outside, and inside was a reinforced internal space, full of bundles of cash, all loaded on pallets, carried back and forth by forklifts, From afar, it looks like a pile of neatly stacked colorful waste paper, and roughly calculates that the money piled up here is at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
"It's a fucking vault." The ghost couldn't help but take a breath after looking at the money, he never thought that there would be so much money in one place, and these are just half a year's income from part of the European industrial chain, and the ability of this "clock tower" to collect money is indeed extraordinary.
"Six people have been arrested, and they are in charge here, and they probably know more about the situation." The medic said.
At this moment, they saw another agent open a false wall, and inside was a golden gold brick, which caused everyone present to exclaim, everyone knew the value of this gold brick.
"Damn, I knew that I would have to participate in this operation if I said anything, and I would have made a fortune by grabbing two of them." The ghost looked at the gold bricks and swallowed spit.
"We should be able to find out their industries in Europe here, and we will investigate them one by one." Said the military doctor.
"It doesn't matter, it's what is Wade's attitude? Have your superiors thought it through? Who will be sent to contact him? "The heavy punch doesn't care how much cash can be copied from there, nor does he care what the outcome of the investigation into this vault will be, he just wants to speak for Germany as soon as possible, only then will they have a chance to get more clues.
"It's been made clear from above that no one will be sent." The military doctor said calmly.
"So how do you talk to him? He wanted someone at the level of deputy director to talk to him. "What is the plan of the heavy-handed medics.
"Leave this matter to me, I am the plenipotentiary of the bureau, and I have the right to make any decision." The medic said.
"But doesn't he think you're at a low level?" The ghost had also learned about the previous interrogation.
"Now it's time to get the same thing, and I've now been promoted to the level of deputy director." The medic said, "The letter of appointment will be in a moment." ”
"Damn, you're too fake, this is obviously perfunctory, Wade definitely won't buy it." The ghost pursed his lips in disdain.
"The promotion is genuine, it's just that I don't have that real power, I'm just a commanded intelligence officer, middle-level, can be promoted quickly, and can be revoked at any time, this can be regarded as giving him face, if he continues to be shameless, we don't have to be too polite." The medic said.
"The power of attorney without real power is just a piece of butt wiping paper, and the bird doesn't use it." The ghost snorted.
"It's not as simple as you think, at least my salary will be increased accordingly, which is genuine." The ghost said.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, go and tell Weide to speak, my deputy director." Heavy Punch doesn't have the heart to fight here.
Finally, after some coercion and temptation, Wade compromised, but he still put forward a lot of corresponding requirements, first of all, to ensure the safety of his family, this is not just as simple as sending a few agents, he asked to send his family secretly to Switzerland, give them a new identity to start a new life, this is nothing to the CIA, but the whole process just takes time, there is not too much difficulty, the military doctor readily agreed.
Wade's second request was that he didn't want to go to jail no matter what the outcome was, and that he should be pardoned after the whole incident and settle abroad and not be allowed to trouble him again, and the military doctor did not agree to this, after all, he did not give any information that was sufficient to prove his own worth, and he could not be sure whether he was worth the price, how could he make such a big promise? Wade expressed his understanding and agreed to give more clues in future cooperation to prove his value and key role.
After the two sides negotiated, Wade began to provide more information about the "Clock Tower", and he released two of the eight elders in one go, including Berke, a former M16 agent codenamed hamster, whom the CIA had previously identified. Grisia, as with the result of the heavy speculation, this guy is indeed alive, the mountaineering incident a few years ago was just a cover for him to get rid of the investigation, and now this guy is operating in Northern Europe, continuing his original business, but with a different company, and the other person is the founder of the Bain Group. Carter greatly surprised everyone, although the group had already entered their field of vision and conducted a targeted and in-depth investigation, they did not expect that this Bane, who had already been officially confirmed dead. Carter is also one of the eight elders, and the information shows that this old guy died more than ten years ago, and even if he is alive, he will be eighty or ninety years old, even if he is not a hundred.
Wade told them about Bane for sure. Carter's death is also part of the change of identity, although he doesn't know if this old guy is still alive now, but at least more than ten years ago this guy was still alive, but there has been no news of him in recent years, as for where this guy is, no one knows, but according to rumors, he was definitely a well-known figure during the Cold War, but it seems that not many people know his true identity, even the name Bean Carter is fake, and no one knows what his name is now.
"Even if he lives, he is just an old man who is barely alive, not to mention that I don't think it is very likely that he will live." The ghost said.
"At least we have a few more directions to investigate, these two people must know a lot of inside information, and through the investigation of them, maybe we will find out more things." Heavy punches are still relatively satisfied with the progress made so far.
"Actually, early on we were interested in' Bell Tower's analysis is still relatively accurate, first of all, it can be affirmed that this is a loose alliance organization, and it is only these eight people who maintain this alliance relationship, but it is also because of these eight people that the organization is more closely connected, forming a complete whole, and it can be determined that these people are all spies, with a rich past and far beyond ordinary human experience, the original intention of establishing the organization is to protect the lives of intelligence personnel who died or were treated unfairly during the Cold War and to protect their families, but gradually formed a huge interest group, but they have only attracted the attention of the outside world since their establishment more than 20 years ago, which shows how deep it is hiddenThrough the investigation of the two groups of Bain to the power of N, we can draw another conclusion that the organization tries to control these countries through investment in some countries, and becomes the controller and driving force behind these countries, so as to obtain more benefits, which is essentially different from the struggle between the consortiums within the country, they achieve their own goals through the control of the economies of some countries, which is far more than the struggle between the consortiums, and it takes long-term operation to achieve such an effect. It can be seen from their investment in Bardogia and Knubia, each time it is a big investment, these two countries have almost become their hands, if it were not for our intervention, I am afraid that they will soon become the actual controllers of these two countries, through economic control they can influence the country's political system, national policy, including foreign policy, this ability to manipulate, although not as direct as the president, but to be able to control a country's politics may be more fulfilling, of course, this is just my personal understandingAfter all, I didn't have the opportunity to sit in that position and enjoy this feeling of being behind the control of a country. "It's really hard to imagine what a game of chess this is, and it can indeed be called a huge invisible empire." ”
"How can that be?" The ghost said disapprehantly, "They don't have an army to mobilize, at most a few hundred mercenaries, and they are not regular troops, what can they do?" ”
"Don't you understand? Since they can control a country, it is equivalent to an army that can control that country, and through their influence on the country's politics, they can completely control the army to wage war. "Heavy punches understand it more deeply," although it turned a corner, but it can indeed achieve such a purpose. ”
"In fact, many wars are the result of games between interest groups, but most of them are the heads of state who come forward as representatives of interest groups to decide the fate of the country, including whether to start a war, and the actions of the 'clock tower' are similar." "It seems that we don't know enough about this organization, and they may have planned a lot of conflicts between countries in the past 20 years, but we don't know it yet." ”
"That's what Wade recruited?" The ghost asked.
"He doesn't plan to say more until his family is properly settled, but these things are enough for us to digest for a while, and a comprehensive investigation of the confrontation has been launched against the two people, including their properties, if these two people can be found, then we may learn more about this organization and expose it to the sun completely."
"Bane. Carter is not young, and you still expect him to live? "The ghost doesn't seem to have much hope.
"At least Belk. Grisia is still alive, and that's enough, they are all the core founders of the organization, and the secrets they know are definitely not something that a middle-level or low-level person like Wade can understand. "The medic felt that as long as he could catch a senator, he could solve a series of problems.
"The investigation has finally made some substantial progress, and it has not been in vain that we had to toss so much before." Heavy Punch breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief.
"The investigation into such an organization will not be smooth sailing, and we still have a long way to go." The military doctor said earnestly.
As Wade's interrogation progressed, they learned more and more about the entire "Clock Tower", but only two of the so-called Eight Elders surfaced, and the only one who was certain now was Belck. Grisia is active in the Nordics, which is also the only breakthrough they currently have in their hands, while another Bain. Carter has not appeared since the death of Ji, whether it is in the official information or in the information provided by Wade, Wade said that he had seen this person after Carter announced his death, but he had received news about it a few years ago, although this was a means of hiding his identity, but in the past few years, as an old man, he could die at any time, so it is impossible to determine whether he is still alive.
"Looks like we're going to have to catch the hamsters first." The ghost thinks Belk. The name Grisia is too long, so it might as well be a hamster barking.
"Wade said he was in Northern Europe, but we don't have the information to confirm that he was there, and we need to confirm it before we take action." The military doctor has always been steady.
"If you want me to see, you should go to Northern Europe first, etc., participate in the investigation, if it is confirmed that he is there, we will do it directly, which can save a lot of time, we now do not know enough about the entire 'clock tower', although it is revealed that these heavyweights and their companies have a lot of influence around the world, but after all, this is not the full strength of the 'clock tower', we don't know enough, two of the eight elders plus an N power strength has far exceeded our estimates, so really' The Clock Tower's strength is probably an even more terrifying existence. At first, they thought that the so-called "Clock Tower" was similar to the "Wings of Freedom", "Handshake", and "Severed Hand" that they had fought before. It's just a secret underground organization, but with the deepening of the investigation, they found that this is indeed a hidden invisible empire, and they now know that there are already several countries controlled by it in disguise, although these countries are not strong, the development is lagging behind, the domestic chaos is unbearable, and the wars are continuous, but the "Clock Tower" plays a non-negligible role behind it, in addition to controlling the economy and controlling the political power, it also affects the foreign policy of these countries, so what is the strength of the entire "Clock Tower"? Will more countries already be under its control? Or have their tentacles penetrated into more countries in disguise, playing a decisive role in the economy and politics of these countries? Will they want to deal with the "Clock Tower" and will there be conflicts or disputes with these countries? Once they move up to the national level, their work becomes much harder......
"Just do what we can do, and leave the rest to the top, political negotiations have never been our job, we are only suitable for fighting and killing." The medic seemed to see his concerns.
"What's your attitude up there?" The ghost asked, "Is there support for catching hamsters?" ”
"I don't need to consult my superiors about this, I can decide." "But I'd recommend weighing it up and not rushing it too much." ”
"Yes, you are now the deputy director, there should be no one who can control you, you have the right to make all decisions, so now please give the order of the deputy director!" The ghost said, hugging his shoulders.
"I'm just a nominal one, but it's been made clear that we have the right to make our own decisions, that is, we have been given a certain degree of autonomy to act, and the result of the negotiation between your superiors and our superiors is that the investigation of the 'Clock Tower' is completely independent, without interference from others, to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation to the greatest extent, and all resources can be mobilized within my purview." The medic said.
"It seems that the above have fully noticed that you may have been infiltrated by the 'clock tower', so they have completely isolated you to achieve the purpose of secrecy and protection from potential threats to the greatest extent, and it seems that your superiors are not idiots and understand how to avoid risks." Heavy punch is of course very clear, this may be the result of 03 and the CIA negotiations, which can indeed be regarded as good news for him, no matter what, their work has been on the right track, not stumbling like before, walking on thin ice, just don't know what kind of situation they will face in the future, but he is mentally prepared to be ready to encounter more trouble, everyone knows that the "Clock Tower" is definitely not so easy to deal with.
After some discussion, the medic finally agreed to the plan to go to Northern Europe, and in the meantime, the investigation of hamsters in Northern Europe was in full swing, and it was unknown when the results would be available, but they still planned to rush over and participate in the investigation.
After the two sides formed an independent investigative body, they could use fewer people than before, and the range of people they chose to carry out the mission for the purpose of secrecy was not as large as this money, after all, it can be seen from all indications that the "Clock Tower" has infiltrated the CIA, so they must be cautious enough, whether it is the use of personnel or the use of CIA resources, only in this way can they ensure that their investigation is not affected by potential threats, So this time, the army only drew out a dozen or so subordinates who had participated in the operation with their agents who were absolutely trustworthy, and there were only heavy punches, ghosts and bugs here, which were indeed a little pitiful in comparison, but heavy punches said that they didn't want more people to get involved, the reason was very simple, he knew very well how risky this job was, and he didn't want more people to follow them to take risks, although the cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant now, but he had to be secretly more vigilant.
For the problem of heavy punches and their lack of manpower, the military doctor showed any dissatisfaction, although he now has only a dozen people under his command, but he knows very well that it is not a problem for these people to carry out basic investigation work and complete small-scale tasks, but to face greater difficulties, he may need to transfer more manpower, and if the time is ripe, he can make another plan, it is really unrealistic to consider these problems now, at present, they are going to find people, not to fight, too many people may cause the enemy's vigilance because the target is too big, In short, it is not a question of manpower now.
"Since I'm working with you, will you solve the equipment problem, won't we have to do it ourselves?" The ghost asks a question that concerns him most.
"Equipment has never been a problem for us, I can't get planes and missiles, but I can get a few guns." The medic said.
"Then Wade will be handed over to you first, and then we will send someone over to cooperate with your interrogation." Heavy punch said.
"That's no problem, your people don't show up and do the same job as we do." "But I know very well that this is the principle, and the whole process must be fully involved by your people, and I can understand that Wade will be sent back to his homeland in two days, and my people will keep in touch with your people in real time to inform them of the situation." ”
"Alright, when are we leaving?" Punch asked.
"This afternoon, I'm going to make a unified arrangement." The medic stood up.
"After landing, you will return to Japan first, and you may need your help for follow-up operations." Punch said to Natasha.
"As long as you are willing to give money, we are very idle and willing to help at any time." Natasha shrugged, "But I warn you, there are more than a dozen of them, and you three need to be careful. ”
In fact, Natasha is not optimistic about this kind of partnership, she always feels that they are likely to be calculated by the military doctor, she has been quite distrustful of the military doctor, after the Amazon jungle hijacking incident, she feels more and more that the military doctor is unreliable.
"Don't worry, we'll be careful." Heavy punch said that in fact, in his opinion, Natasha is indeed much more credible than the military doctor, but Natasha is not his own person after all, and it is not good for him to follow him all the time.
"If you're interested, you can follow along." The ghost joked.
"Play? Playing with your life, right? Natasha pouted, "I'm not interested, I feel like you're here to make money, not for fun, and I'll talk about it when you need it." ”
"I'll miss you." The worm hugged Natasha.
"It's not time to say goodbye yet." The ghost said, and the two women ignored him.
"Gather your belongings and get ready to go." Heavy punch said to everyone.
Traveling with the military doctor is quite worry-free, and there is no need to worry about transportation and other problems, and his subordinates will arrange all this properly.
When he got on the plane, he found that there was only one doctor and asked him what was going on.
"My people are all over the world, and they're coming to Iceland from different places to meet us, so there's no need to come here again." The military doctor patted the hatch and beckoned them, "Hurry up, there will be a storm at sea in the next two hours, and we must get back to land as soon as possible." ”
A few minutes later, the helicopter left the aircraft carrier and flew into the overcast sky.
Before the storm intensified, they finally returned to the long-lost land, where the vehicles arranged by the military doctor were already waiting for them.
"Which route do we take?" Heavy Punch asked loudly as he looked at the storm that had not abated in the slightest.
"I arranged for a direct flight to Iceland, and then to the Grange Islands, which is the focus of our investigation at the moment, and then to other investigations, and there are breakthroughs; Does anyone want to drive? If no one is there I'll come. ”
The ghost sat in the driver's seat without giving in: "It's not your turn yet; I need to navigate the route. ”
"No problem; But you'd better be careful, it's too windy and the car is hard to control. "Under normal circumstances, it takes us four hours to get to the airport, but in this weather it is likely to be longer, and it doesn't matter if it's late, and the plane can't take off in this weather." ”
"Don't worry, I know it." The ghost doesn't care about the weather.
In the raging storm, the car set off, although it was daytime, but the visibility was extremely low, but the speed of the ghost did not slow down at all, and they were already familiar with the heavy punches and insects, and they believed that the ghost could handle it.
"How is this guy like a ghost?" The medic muttered quietly.
"Didn't Wade say that hamsters might be active in Norway? Why go to Glenwe? Heavy Punch asked with some confusion.
"Our men found no clues in Norway, and found the headquarters of the Hamster Company in Glenaway; They are conducting an investigation to confirm the whereabouts of the hamster and the connection between the company and the 'clock tower', although the investigation is not going well, but it is somewhat fruitful, according to insiders, they have seen hamsters in the area, and the details are still being verified. The medic took off his wet clothes, "We can only enjoy the blizzard when we get there." ”
"I don't think the hamster should be so easy to find, and the purpose of his fake death is not to be noticed." Worm said.
"Just confirm that he's alive and find him only a matter of time." The medic doesn't seem to be worried about this," said the other side against Bane. Carter's investigation is also underway, and hopefully everything will go well, we have taken too many detours before. ”
"How strong is the Clock Tower in your assessment?" Punch asked.
"With the passage of time, our understanding of the organization is constantly changing, in the early assessment it was just a mysterious organization with economic strength, but recently from our gradually improved intelligence their strength is gradually being raised, the result of the latest assessment they should be equivalent to the economic strength of a moderately developed country, the political strength is completely impossible to accurately assess, which involves how many countries the organization is involved in the internal affairs of the country. How much impact can it have on these countries, the military strength should not be too weak, but it should be limited to special operations capabilities, after all, they have strong financial strength, and it is inevitable to hire outsiders to complete some tasks, just like Steppenwolf Leens, of course, we also see that the Bain Group has its own defense forces, and they are also part of the 'Clock Tower', so it should be difficult to deal with, but not so strong that it is too much stronger than expected. ”
"You didn't say that." The ghost shadow listened for a long time and finally understood that these were just speculations and assessments based on existing intelligence, but the information they had was really pitiful, and these assessments were of little significance, and they were very reluctant as a reference.
The military doctor was not angry: "This is a process of gradual improvement, you have to come little by little, slowly understand, I believe that one day we will reveal their true colors and figure out what they are." ”
Four and a half hours later, they finally arrived at the airport, only a little later than expected, but in this kind of weather, I am afraid that only the ghost would dare to do this.
The plane was already waiting there, but they couldn't take off because of the weather, so they could only board the plane after saying goodbye to Natasha and wait for the weather to improve before setting off, which had nothing to do with whether they were in a hurry, after all, God had the final say on this kind of thing, and the weather forecast said that it would take at least half a day for the storm to end......
