"Because we lost a lot." Donovan said: "This time we lost two people, and I and the other person also lost money, which is equal to half of the remaining people in the team." And their injuries are also relatively serious, and Team 009 has not been able to perform its mission for a long time, so everyone is very worried. ”

"Alright." John waved his hand and said, "You guys have no need to worry about it. It's just guessing and thinking. We are indeed a security company, a mercenary, and we don't emphasize tradition like a real army, but that doesn't mean we can do whatever we want with the heroic collective. I can tell you with certainty that Team 009 will be there, they will still belong to you, and even if you don't do it in the future, your name and the exploits you have created will still be in the team's directory. ”

"Does that mean those who stay will still stay in Team 009?" Donovan asked.

"Of course, if they want to. However, there must be a new captain and new personnel. And you will have a ceremony of commendation, and you will embroider iron helmets on your flags. ”

"Really?" Donovan asked, looking very happy.

"Of course." John said, "You deserve it." As I said, the people in the Intelligence Service are very appreciative of your performance, thinking that you did everything you could and chose the right way in an emergency, and it is for this reason that their people were brought out alive. John chuckled as he spoke, "You should know that if it weren't for our people, if it was just the local garrison, everything would have been over." ”

Donovan nodded and said, "I want to give this team to Pete." But the other person in the team seems to really want to stay on this team. ”

"Pete..." John thought for a moment and said, "I have to say that his ability is quite strong. Let him be the new captain of Team 009? ”

"Yes." Donovan immediately said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Nope. There's nothing wrong with that. John said, glancing to the side, and after making sure there was no one else, he said, "It's just that maybe he's better suited for other jobs." ”

"Other work?" Donovan asked.

John nodded and said, "Some secret projects related to the Intelligence Bureau. ”

"Will this work?" Donovan looked very worried: "Didn't you still have doubts before?" ”

"Doubtful?" John smiled and said, "You mean the Romanian incident?" Isn't that enough to be a guy's own imagination? In fact, they found nothing in their investigation. Otherwise, why do you think they are so eager to get back those who ran away from Romania? ”

"They wanted to know what happened that day." Donovan sighed.

"Yes. This means that they don't really know anything. It's all up to your imagination to speculate there. The recent series of events may have made the Intelligence Bureau feel very bad, so they discussed with Lille that we could provide some reliable and capable people to help them do something. John said.

"Isn't that what I've been doing all along?" Donovan asked curiously, "The guys upstairs in our room... ”

John shook his head and said, "This time it's different. Before, those were some leftovers from some intelligence bureaus that didn't invest too much manpower as comfortably, or some things that they couldn't do in person but needed to do. And this time it is different, it should be something extraordinary. ”

"That Pete... Will it work? Donovan asked.

"I don't know. It's not something I can decide, the Intelligence Bureau will make a selection based on the list we provide, and there will definitely be close scrutiny. Now I'm just coming up with ideas. John said.

Donovan didn't say anything more, but seemed to be thinking about something. Instead, John continued, "Do you think Pete would be interested?" ”

"Is it a willingness to leave the team and go to a new environment to accept a new job?" Donovan asked.

John nodded and said, "Yes." Many people are repulsed or even fearful of a new environment and unfamiliar work. This can happen even if he is very active and brave in his previous position. So I want to ask you. ”

Donovan didn't answer directly, but said, "Can I know why I chose Pete?" ”

"That's fine." John nodded, "You're his boss now, and you're still their manager after that, so you have a right to know." John laughed a little and then continued, "First of all, this guy is very good. Needless to say. Second, the Intelligence Bureau asked us to find someone who was cautious, unassuming, and good at getting along with people, preferably someone who had worked with someone from the Intelligence Bureau and had a good evaluation. Don't you think Pete is the right fit? ”

"Yes ... It's a good fit. Donovan had to admit that it was.

"So you've got to talk to him, and you can tell him that it's more promising for him to go to this department than to stay in Team 009. Of course, the salary will also be higher. However, it must also be made clear that not everyone can be selected, after all, in the end, these people have to be agreed by the people of the intelligence bureau. ”

"Understood. I'll talk to him. Donovan agreed.

"Okay. As soon as possible, though. This work is already underway. John said.

"Okay." Donovan said yes, "There's one more thing... That's if there are people on my team who can't stay ... ”

While Donovan and John were talking, at the Intelligence Bureau, Eric was called into his office by Miller, who had just returned to the Intelligence Bureau.

"How's Sono?" Eric asked as soon as he entered Miller's office.

"Not bad." Miller said a word and walked to his desk, took off his coat and hung it on a hanger next to him, then picked up the phone on the desk and said, "Do you have anything to drink?" Help me get a hot, refreshing drink. Thank you. ”

"You seem to be tired." Eric Road.

Miller gestured to the chair across from the desk and said, "Sit down." I would like to know how your progress has been lately. ”

"I've looked through the records of intelligence that have leaked or may have been leaked over the years. One of the things I found interesting was that most of the timelines take place after '03. Erik handed Miller a list of things and continued: "In addition, in the summer of 2006, a Russian intelligence agent who fled to Germany and found the Berlin station mentioned that Russia and the Chinese had an exchange of information. Exchange some information about us, or about our country and the countries concerned. As he spoke, he took out another list and handed it to Miller, saying, "This is the list of the information that this man confessed, and what he knew about these exchanges." ”
