Chapter 365: Negotiation and Compromise (02)
Heavy punch does not accept any accusations, whether the crab claw is intentional or not, he will not admit that this matter is caused by them, how to end up in the follow-up is completely a problem of crab claws, anyway, now they are a cooperative relationship, this kind of thing dealing with the official heavy punch they are not suitable to come forward, in fact, he also understands that the purpose of the prince's warning to him is to let him pass on the news, whether it is the prince or this country, he is not willing to tear his face with Lao Mei, so heavy punch as an intermediary, it is most appropriate to pass the words over, It doesn't matter if it's a heavy punch to go back and say too much, it's a big deal to make corresponding remedies when making formal contact, after all, if someone brings it, it is not counted, from this point it can also be seen that the prince's old treachery is slippery, although it is very formal warning of the heavy punch, but in essence, he has left himself a back hand, he also knows very well that the contact with Lao Mei is a matter of time, how to do it without offending, and save the country's face is the most important issue, no matter how to deal with it in the future, at least now to put on a posture that is not afraid, No matter how much compromise is made in the future, we must ensure a tough attitude in the outside world, at least to ensure our image in front of the domestic people.
On the other hand, the reason why the crab claw wants to accuse the heavy fist also has its own purpose, in fact, he also knows very well that it is a matter of time before he contacts the country's officials, after all, the possibility of so many of them coming here to complete a long-term mission is still very large, not to mention that it can be seen from the early stage that the official has noticed their existence and taken corresponding surveillance measures, but they have not confirmed their identities yet, and no further action has been taken. Otherwise, their mission will not be able to continue, so it is best to greet in advance through diplomatic channels before being discovered, and ask for assistance in the investigation is the best choice, but this time the object they want to investigate is more special, Dudkov has a high status and status in the country, so starting from diplomacy, it is likely that some problems will arise, and even cause a strong reaction from the authorities, so he has been weighing how to deal with this relationship, although he has reported the situation in time, But Mr. R didn't give a corresponding reply, maybe the pros and cons are being weighed up, and it's not sure whether they need to help them escort them through diplomatic channels, or continue to let them hide their identities and investigate secretly, of course, everyone knows the danger of secret investigation, that is to say, in fact, the crab claws have been in a state of waiting for news in the past few days, and the investigation is still continuing, but he also knows very well that dealing with the official is a matter of time, before their people fought with the official surveillance personnel, He knew that the day was coming, even if those people did not belong to the same department as him, but after this incident, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction with the authorities, and he also knew that there would definitely be many difficulties in the subsequent confrontation with the authorities, and in this regard, they had lost the opportunity.
In fact, these problems give the crab claws quite a headache, and it is clear that those who are responsible for monitoring the heavy punch their colleagues and the authorities have a conflict with the heavy fist can not get out of the heavy fist, but there is no evidence, and the heavy fist does not put him in his eyes, although it is cooperation, but the contest between the two sides has never stopped, at least this time they have lost a round, and no one knows in what direction the follow-up things will develop, but the general direction of cooperation must be maintained, that is, the order from above, that is, he can't help the heavy punch at present, Even if he wants to do it secretly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable opportunity, in fact, in many cases, he is forced to move forward with heavy punches, and has to do something he is unwilling to do, for example, now he has to face a mess that is already difficult to clean up, how to explain all this to the prince and deal with the relationship between the two parties is the most important thing, if the relationship with the authorities is not handled well, then their follow-up actions will not be able to carry out.
I have a headache when I think of these intricate relationships, I am an intelligence collector myself, I have been in this industry for so many years, and I have never encountered such a complicated situation, he originally thought that he had experienced strong winds and waves, but in the face of the current situation, he felt a little powerless, knowing that he was being led by the nose by the heavy punch, but there was no way, the heavy punch had already taken the first step, and the situation was laid out, but he could only go down with the meaning of the heavy punch.
"I'll deal with this matter, but I also want to make it clear that we don't need you to think about our next move for us beyond this mission, and we don't need you to lay the groundwork in advance for diplomatic matters." The crab claws can't help but punch hard, but they have no choice but to express their dissatisfaction in this way.
"What does this have to do with me? It was your people who were discovered by their agents, and then there was a conflict, your people were arrested, the prince just wanted to convey some news to you through me, he wanted to have such a buffer between the two of you, he gave a warning that he wanted you to fully consider how to negotiate next, he was giving you the opportunity to make up a story, find a way to persuade him, let you stay, he didn't dare to offend you, but he couldn't lose face, I was just a mouthpiece, this matter has nothing to do with me. "Heavy Punch won't admit that it has anything to do with it.
"You're a cunning guy, I'll say it again, I don't know exactly what those people are who are not me, I also said before that even if there is a relationship, it may be the actions of other departments, but it has never been confirmed, so I can't determine what the origin of those people is." Crab Claw also began to deny the relationship with those people, although everyone knew it, but we didn't come up with substantive evidence, and no one would admit it before turning their faces.
"So there's no point in talking about this now, it's time for you to think about what to do next, we're going to do our job, we can't take the next step until the final decision is made, catch it, wait or wait, that's all for later, if it's hard for us to stay here, then don't think about it anymore." Heavy punch said.
Crab Claw wasn't arguing with him, he knew that this kind of argument was endless and meaningless, but he had to admit that Punch was right, the question of their whereabouts was the point, and of course he wouldn't exaggerate enough to make up a story to deceive the prince like Punch said, but at least he had to prepare a set of rhetoric, at least on the surface, and then solve the problem through diplomatic mediation.
Crab Claw thought about it for a moment and reported the situation to Mr. R alone and told him about his plan, but he needed the support of diplomatic channels, and he was going to meet with the prince with the diplomats, and expressed confidence that he would handle this diplomatic affairs and achieve their goal of staying here to continue the investigation.
Mr. R did not immediately say anything, but asked him to wait for news, in fact, it was also very clear that Mr. R had to say hello to the diplomatic department to determine how to implement the follow-up sound, of course, this will take time.
After leaving with a heavy fist, he went directly back to the hotel where he stayed, and after tossing this circle, he was also tired, and he had to go back to rest, as for the rest of the things, he didn't care, he knew very well that Lao Mei would definitely come up with a sufficiently effective way to achieve his goal, so he was not worried about the collapse of the negotiations between the crab claws and the prince, but how to say that his goal had been achieved, and the rest of the matter was to concentrate on dealing with Dudkov, and then find Makarov.
The next afternoon, the crab claw went to meet with the prince to negotiate, and it is said that he had greeted him through diplomatic channels, and sent people to cooperate with him, and no one knew the specific negotiation process, but the result was quite passable, and the prince allowed them to stay here, but also warned them not to make too many things.
"Being able to stay shows that they have fully considered some possible situations, after all, people like us will definitely not be able to keep to ourselves if we stay here." The ghost said when he heard the news.
"As long as you're allowed to stay, but whatever? You have to save some face, and don't let people get off the stage. Worm said.
"Be cautious." Heavy Punch nodded in agreement.
"Don't be too happy, from the information available so far, it can be seen that the prince only allowed us to stay here, but did not allow us to use any other illegal means to investigate, and did not make it clear that our identity was recognized by them, that is, we are likely to be expelled by them at any time." The ghost said.
"That's okay, they have to stay behind and can't openly admit that we exist, right? The biggest advantage of this is that even if something goes wrong and they kick us out, they can give an explanation to the people, so to speak, we are entering the country illegally, and in short, it is convenient to arrange any charges. "Although the prince compromised, he still kept his hand behind and did not allow us to do anything here. ”
"He can't allow us anything other than eating, drinking, and Lazar, but he can acquiesce, of course, he can't touch their bottom line, otherwise there is no acquiescence." "There are some things you can do, so don't let me see them, I don't know, but if you do something out of line, then I'll definitely get you in trouble." "In fact, this kind of self-deception is still very effective in many cases. ”
"Will this foolish behavior be recognized?" The ghost doesn't believe it.
"I'm afraid the most widely used method is the workplace, talking about customers to do things, you may need to be flexible and bribed, but the boss will not directly tell me that you spend money to do things, you can only do it yourself, do it right, the boss will naturally praise you and will not pursue these, but he will never show support, much the same, in fact, most of this situation depends on the result, as long as the result is good, basically no one cares about the process, but if it is messed up, then you have to settle the account, and hold you accountable. In fact, such situations often exist between countries, but it is just to see who has the best means to play and play beautifully. Heavy punch said.
"Why are you so good at this kind of thing now? It's getting more and more like a spy, and you're a good candidate for a career change. The ghost said.
"If you do this business straightforwardly, you can't do it, not only will you suffer, but you will also make mistakes and even lose your life." Heavy punch said.
"What's the point of intrigue?" Worm shook his head, "I'll tell you something, I've been transferred, and 03 will transfer me to another job, but the time hasn't been determined yet." ”
The topic changed a little stiffly, and the ghost didn't react at all, and it took a long time for the ghost to say: "That means we are a three-person team, and we are going to disband?" ”
"I don't know about this, I only received orders from me, as for your arrangement, I don't know, but if he didn't look for you, he shouldn't have planned to let you disband, just transfer me away." Worm said.
"Why didn't you say it when you came back?" Heavy Punch asked.
"I don't know how to speak." The worm sighed.
"Looks like you're going to be with 03 or so." The ghost suddenly realized, "I have finally gained something by fighting for it so far, congratulations, you can start and possess him." ”
"I shouldn't ask where you're going, but it shouldn't be 03, right?" Punch asked, looking at the bug.
Worm nodded: "Yes, I may have other jobs, but the difficulty should not be as high as with you, the risk should be much smaller, I don't know the specifics, 03 didn't say it directly, just said that there was a task for me to complete." ”
"Then it's a bit risky for you to go it alone, right? Even if you are a man's wife, you shouldn't act alone, right? The ghost said without hesitation.
"No matter where you go? As long as it is his order, I will only obey, but the time has not yet been set, I just want to say hello to you. Worm said.
"Oh, it seems that this iron triangle will also break its corner one day." The ghost shook his head, seemingly unhappy, although he had been suppressed by the worms and was powerless to refute, but when he heard that she might be transferred, he was really a little reluctant in his heart.
"It's a matter of time before we do our business, it's a matter of time before we divide and merge, no matter where we go, protect ourselves, as long as we live, we still have a chance to meet." The punches seemed to see everything out of the way.
"Does this return have anything to do with your transfer?" The ghost asked again.
"You can't say it, and you won't believe it." The worm shook his head and nodded again, as if he was weighing how to express it, "In short, some things have exceeded the scope of our cognition, after experiencing some things, I suddenly found that many things are different, and I was very frightened, as if the whole world was not the same as before, this feeling is very strange, 03 said that since I know something, there is no need to stay here, it should be to do some work related to what I know, according to my understanding, it should be to control me and prevent leaks......"
