Chapter 8 Motivation
FBI? You're going to the FBI? Tucker became more and more curious, "What have you been through lately?" How to say something more surprising than the other. ”
"Uhhh Eric was awkwardly silent for a moment before saying, "This is part of Miller's bar... ”
"Huh." Tucker smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay. You go on ... ”
"Where did I just go?" Eric asked dissatisfied.
"You're going to investigate the NSA... Before Tucker could finish, Eric said, "Yes." There it is. I guess you're wondering why I want to investigate them, right? ”
"Of course. That's what I just asked. Tucker Road.
"Because of some of these connections." Eric said as he opened a drawer in front of his desk, took out one of the contents of it, opened it and looked at it, and said, "At first, I learned about the killing of your informant, and then I learned about the code name Ji Bee. From here, we can be sure of one thing, that is, this matter must have been done by the Chinese, and Ji Bee is also their person, right? ”
"Of course." Tucker nodded after glancing at what Eric was holding.
Eric nodded and said, "Miller gave me this task to find the internal loopholes. And the only thing I had at that time was what I had just said, so I thought, since this loophole was made by the Chinese, then they must be interested in something related to them... Or more interested, right? ”
"That's right." Tucker nodded again and said, "Are you trying to find the prey they can hunt and then lay a trap?" What did you find? ”
"Don't worry. Listen to me. Eric said: "I started looking for it later, but unfortunately we didn't find enough weight within the bureau. Although there are many projects planned, ... Eric said, gesturing with his hand, "You should know that feeling, it's the temptation... I tried to imagine myself as some kind of stealer of information, and then I found that none of these were very tempting. Of course, I can't guarantee what the real person or several people will do, but for me, I must find a probable and tempting one as a breakthrough. Is that right? ”
"You're right." Tucker nodded and said, "Go on... ”
"Then I looked elsewhere." After Eric finished speaking, he handed the things in his hand to Tucker and said, "And this is what I can find, and this is what makes my heart flutter at that moment." ”
Tucker had long wanted to see what Eric had in his hand, so he immediately took it and read it quickly. After a moment he said, "Robert Bezos of the NSA." With that, he glanced at Eric and said, "His project?" ”
"Yes." "A big project, a whole scheme of infiltration, surveillance, sabotage, reverse propaganda and incitement through the network," Eric said. ”
"It's called Scorching Sun?" Tucker frowned and said, "That's an interesting name, how did you get that?" ”
"I know someone from the FBI." "I was one of the few people in the CIA who was willing and genuine to work with the FBI," Eric said. ”
Tucker immediately understood what Eric meant, but another question immediately came to his mind, "Did you give him something too?" ”
"Of course." "I told him there were big fish in the country," Eric said. I'll give him the big fish then. ”
"To him?!" Tucker immediately raised his voice and said, "So what do we do?" Your so-called big fish is not a person, it is likely to be an intelligence network, what will they say? Don't you think we might as well have been naked in the streets? ”
Eric pouted and said, "So you mean I shouldn't work with them?" But doing what they were supposed to do? Isn't this another path to project constraints? Do you think they will do it, and they won't check it? And if something happens to us one day, who will all the blame be pointed at? What else can we control at that time? As he spoke, he pointed to the things in Tucker's hand and said, "And these, do you think that the people from the Security Bureau took the initiative to tell me at this time?" I'll tell you the truth, I've approached the people in the Security Service and given them some advice or warnings, but do you know what they say? ”
"How?" Tucker asked immediately.
"Their reply was, let me take care of our own business, and if I really feel uneasy, go to the FBI, I don't have to worry about their affairs, let me do whatever I have to do." Eric Road.
Tucker seemed surprised, he looked at Eric and said, "Who is this and you are talking about?" Is it their official statement? ”
"What Robert Bezos said, is it official?" Eric Road.
Tucker looked helpless and spread his hands and said, "Okay." I didn't expect you to dare to go to him. ”
"Why not? I'm working, and not looking for him and then telling him I slept with his daughter. Eric said.
Tucker shook his head and said, "That's the problem between you and him, in fact, you don't like each other. You shouldn't have gone to him, maybe someone else would be better. ”
"For whom? If it were for you, would you go? Eric asked. Apart from
Tucker glanced at the thing in his hand and said, "If you had told me this before, I might have been." ”
Eric waved his hand and said, "Saying it means not saying it." Your concerns are valid, and I understand that Miller has them. So I talked to the FBI guys, and we talked about everything, and of course the credit goes to them, but it's up to us to decide how to do that. ”
"They promised?" Tucker asked.
"Of course." Eric nodded and said, "The people I work with are ready to rely on this to make their career all the way smooth." ”
Tucker nodded and looked at the thing in his hand again and said, "Why do you think the Chinese are interested in this, don't the Russians be?" ”
"Absolutely. They're all going to be interested. But you know, the biggest target of this plan is these two countries, do you think they will find a way to do it? Eric asked.
"Yes." Tucker said, "Definitely." ”
"In addition, the project is also participated in by a Chinese-American company." Eric said, gesturing to the thing, "This is also written on it, you can look down, it should be in the middle of the second page." ”
Tucker immediately flipped over and looked there, while Eric continued: "If the Chinese start, then this must be a target for them." ”
