Chapter 100 The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the station affairs are corrupt!
At 6 a.m. on January 22, 1976, we got up, washed up, and went to the hotel cafeteria for breakfast.
After breakfast, we asked for a map of the city at the hotel reception.
Then, go back to your room and take your computer case to our rented office for duty.
Steve: They are on 24-hour alert duty at the hotel in accordance with CIA regulations.
At 9 a.m., we installed a computer and satellite communication system in one of our office rooms.
We contacted General Jefferson via the boot password and the communication account password.
We briefed Jefferson on the reception of Kojara and the placement of the members of the Action Team.
Jefferson instructed us to have Kojara report and communicate directly with him via satellite videophone if there was a situation and request.
......
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Kojara came to our office alone.
Since we don't have coffee in the office, Xiaoda gave Kojara a bottle of Coke from the fridge and a pack of snacks.
After Kojara sat down with a cola and a snack, he drank it all in one gulp!
Then, he threw the empty bottle into the garbage basket, tore open the bag, and began to eat the snack in earnest!
Xiaoda and I both felt that he had not eaten breakfast, and perhaps, Kojara had reached the point of financial exhaustion!
After Kojara finished eating, he smiled and said, "Alas! What a pleasure to eat! Our lives are so difficult, we haven't had that good food to eat in a long time! ”
I said, "Stationmaster Kojala! You are also a mid-level CIA officer, how did you get to such a miserable point today?! ”
Kojara said, "Major Jack! You should know that our workstation originally owned assets such as shipyards, and we relied on asset income to maintain workstation expenses and service expenses! In the past, our shipyard was doing very well, so the station was also very well funded, and everyone had no problem working and living! However, a few years ago, before our old stationmaster Enberg left office, he contracted the shipyard to someone else to operate, I don't know what they did, and now, the shipyard is losing millions of dollars every year! As a result, the source of income in our station is cut off! Later, the stationmaster who succeeded Enberg also sold some of the shipyard's ancillary properties to supplement the expenses of the station! Now, the hotel where you live is one of the ancillary properties of the shipyard! By the middle of last year, our remaining assets were basically sold out, and our old capital was also eaten up! Then, the webmaster handed me over the mess again! In this way, I have worked hard until today with no funds! Since I took office, I have been contacting the CIA headquarters and asking them to send someone to help us solve the problem! However, none of them gave us any answer! In addition, we only have an old-fashioned radio station with the headquarters, so we have a very difficult communication with the headquarters! So I started to despair of the CIA! When I was about to resign from the CIA headquarters, I received a letter from General Jefferson who said that he would immediately send someone to help us solve the problem! But, I feel like you're two minors! Can you help us solve the current problem?! ”
I said, "Stationmaster Kojala! We are General Jefferson's best students! You should totally trust us! Tell me about your situation! Why don't you take back the right to run the shipyard and run it yourself?! ”
Kojara said: "Alas! The relationship here is too complicated, and Emberg is not an ordinary person! He has a backstage at his headquarters, and we can't move him at all! The contractor of our shipyard is also a relative of Enberg, and this contractor does not know how, but in the first two years he secretly sold the shipyard to someone else! Of course, the buyer of the shipyard wants to collect our shipyard, and we know that no one can sell the CIA's assets without the authorization of the asset management department of the CIA headquarters, so we use force to keep the shipyard where we now work and live, but the deceived buyer is very powerful in the local area, they seized our shipyard through the court and removed the main equipment of the shipyard! Now, although the shipyard is still in our hands, this shipyard is just an empty shell with no management ability! ”
As he spoke, Kojara couldn't help but cry!
Xiaoda and I kept comforting him!
When Kojara's mood calmed down, I said, "Kojala! These situations! Have you reported to CIA headquarters? ”
Kojara said, "O Jack! Since the radio station is not smooth, I can't talk at length! Therefore, I mailed a few written reports to headquarters! However, the letters were returned by the other party for reasons such as "no such unit"! We were desperate! ”
I said, "So be it! Stationmaster Kocajala, we have a satellite videophone here, and you can report your situation directly to General Jefferson! He is your teacher, and he will be able to help you solve these problems! ”
Kojara excitedly said, "Alas! What angels you are! Now, can I report to General Jefferson?! ”
I said, "Of course, now!" ”
So, the three of us sat around the computer screen.
Xiao Da contacted General Jefferson through the satellite video phone of the computer system!
When Kojara saw General Jefferson on his computer screen, he burst into tears, and he stood up excitedly and saluted Jefferson!
General Jefferson smiled and said, "Kojara! You're old! Tell me about your situation! ”
Kojara said: "Your Excellency! I'm not old! I can still fight for the CIA! ”
Then Kojara repeated what he told us about it to Jefferson.
After hearing this, Jefferson said solemnly, "All right! Jack, Tom, Kojara! Listen, tomorrow evening, the auditors and investigators I have sent in the name of the headquarters will arrive at you! Do your job well! We're going to get our workstations back up and running quickly! Then, you will work closely together to teach us a hard lesson to those scum of the Social Reform Society! ”
Kojara said excitedly: "Your Excellency! I will do what you tell me! Actively cooperate with Major Jack to complete all the work tasks! ”
After we ended the call with Jefferson and began to discuss the next steps, Kojara went to the fridge to get a bottle of Coke herself, opened the lid, and drank it again!
I said, "Kojala! Now, we're a team! As soon as you return to your workstation, seal all the financial ledgers and original documents in your name! And inform the station personnel are not allowed to go out, ready to accept the headquarters audit and investigation! Are you having trouble with these things? ”
Kojara said, "Major Jack! No problem! The finance department of this workstation is managed by my wife, her name is Ou Li! I asked Ou Li to immediately financial ledgers and original vouchers! There are also more than a dozen members of the squad in the workstation, and I am also the captain of this squad leader! Although, we are a little outdated in equipment, however, we should have no problem controlling the other few people at the workstation! I'll go back to laying out these tasks right away! At 2 p.m., I'll report to you! ”
Then, Kojara grabbed a few bottles of Coke and some snacks in the fridge and left!
After Kojara left, Xiaoda and I were chatting.
Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! Stationmaster Kojala: They've been so badly! Why don't they leave the CIA and go out to find their own jobs and make ends meet? ”
I said, "Alas! Not all of us Chinese dare to think and do it! Many people are greedy for comfort and charity from others, and are unwilling to endure hardships and risks! In addition, this place is relatively remote, and there are fewer people from all over the world, so it is not easy to set up a business and do business! So they became what they are now! ”
Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! I see! I feel that there are also Chinese people who like to eat ready-made meals and are willing to go out and work hard! For example, Niu Shilong and Zhou Xiaoming and the like! ”
I smiled and said, "Xiaoda! Keep these words in your heart! If you tell Zhou Xiaoming, he will definitely scold you for being a brute! ”
Xiaoda covered his mouth and smiled!
......
At 2 p.m., Kajara came to our office with the young guy who helped us drive last night.
Kojara smiled and said, "Major Jack! This young man's name is Kalosi, and he's my brother-in-law! You're not familiar with the local area, so I asked him to come over and help you drive and do chores! ”
I looked at Kalosi, he was seventeen or eighteen years old, like a recent high school graduate, he was a local white mixed race like Kojala, medium build, but, very strong!
I said, "Stationmaster Kojala! Thank you very much for your recommendation! You let Carlosi stay and work with us! Is he a CIA staff member now? ”
Kojara smiled and said, "Jack! Now, Carlosi is not! He doesn't have a job yet and relies on me and my wife to raise him! When we get back to normal, I want him to join the CIA! Do you think it's okay? ”
I said, "Kojala! You are the webmaster, the recruiter is in charge! When the action is over, let's apply for a job for Kalosi together! Now, do you guys have any other difficulties?! ”
Kojara lowered her head and said, "Jack! We are in trouble! We've run out of savings! Now, I can barely survive by selling some scrap steel! My wife and I have four children! My parents and I are also very poor! Kalosi's parents passed away a few years ago, so Kalosi has been living with us all the time! If you can lend us $100,000, we will be able to pay off some of the loan sharks and start living again! You can rest assured, when I have the money, I will definitely return the loan to you as soon as possible! ”
I said, "Kojala! The fact that you can say these things to me shows that you see me as a friend! We have the same teacher, General Jefferson, and I should help you! Now, I'll give you $100,000 right away, and you can use it for emergencies! In the future, the $100,000 will be given to you by me personally, and you don't need to pay it back! Do you understand? ”
With tears in her eyes, Kojara nodded to me very excitedly!
So, I immediately left the office and went back to my house to get $100,000 in cash from Kojala.
When I got back to the office, I handed over $100,000 in cash to Kojala.
After taking the money, Kojara tearfully shook my hand and said, "Jack! You're a good person! We're good friends now! I will definitely reward you by working hard! Please believe in my fighting courage and business ability! ”
That's it, Kojara left Kalosi to us as a helper!
Kojara went home with $100,000 in cash to make arrangements.
After Kojara left, Kalosi smiled in standard English and said, "Sir Jack! My brother-in-law is a good man! When he was young, he was very handsome! He loved my sister and our family so much! In the future, I will follow you to do a good job! ”
I smiled and said, "That's right! We also like your brother-in-law very much! ”
Everyone laughed!
