Chapter X
"We believe that in a democratic society, it should be the people who supervise the government, not the government that monitors the people. Even powerful intelligence agencies like the CIA are no exception. ”
George Ritter, the CIA's director of public affairs, once said this to the media in public.
When his words were printed in lead and circulated around the offices of CIA colleagues, everyone who saw it had a knowing smile on their faces. What everyone doesn't say is that the charismatic words "democracy", "people" and "government" have all become accomplices to lies here. It is a big lie that an agency like the CIA can be held accountable by the people, but that is not the thing that frightens people to be, and the most frightening thing is that when George Ritter says these things, he can smile and appear sincere, as if he himself had no idea that it was a lie.
The most important feature of everything that has to do with the CIA is that there is never the truth.
But such an institution, on the contrary, has to devote itself to its honesty at all times.
Ayiguli's "disappearance" made the president himself angry, which made his planned reception seem like a joke, and if the Chinese publicly tried the leading **** of the "East Turkic movement", the Texans would be tantamount to pulling the slap in the face of the Chinese back into their own face, and it was extremely loud.
Because of Ayiguli's unexpected appearance outside France, Americans have no painful reason to accuse Chinese of "kidnapping" others outside their own country and trampling on human rights at will. Robert and Big Bob were summoned to their office by the director of the CIA, and they were told that the president would hear their explanations within twenty-four hours. Ironically, they were given so much time because the president had to urgently consult with his aides on a strategy to deal with it, and one thing was for sure, some of the lawmakers who had to leave Congress, and those who were the strongest supporters of the C.I.A. in Congress. Speaking of which, the director of the CIA was very incomprehensible about what was happening, didn't it say that with the help of the "oracle", the United States already had all the secret intelligence agencies of the Chinese? So why is this happening?
"That's what we're going to explain now, the 'oracle' doesn't know who did the capture of the 'Black Godmother'. We know that every intelligence agency of the Chinese even has their roster, but we just don't know which department has such skills. Robert's face was gloomy. The Oracle is also starting to worry, the last time in Hong Kong, the Chinese almost caught his messenger, and the direct consequence of this is that we can no longer actively contact him. ”
"Then we'll sit here and wait for your 'oracle'?" The Director glared at Robert. "I don't know if the president will be as reasonable as I am, but what I do know is that if the president kicks my ass, I'll kick yours too. I swear, Luo, I'll kick you for the rest of your lives! ”
Robert didn't speak, and saying anything at this time was adding fuel to the fire.
He didn't see anything wrong with his plan. That is, when everything is under his control, he can predict the actions of the Chinese, and the difference now is only that because he does not understand this opponent, he will be caught off guard. The bureau's experts have analyzed the information obtained by the "Scythe", and it is already certain that they are facing a regular military organization. This is a hidden danger of his "perfect China plan", and if the Chinese can hide anything from the "oracle", then the "oracle" is not safe.
At this time, a text message came into Robert's phone with only one name on it, Daniel Taylor.
Robert tells Bob to find out who this Daniel is.
The director looked at him quizzically. "Do you still have the heart to think about others at this time?"
Robert spread his hands. "I've been trying to make amends for our mistakes. I'm sorry to lose that woman, but I want to be able to minimize the loss. How many parliamentarians are lost? We have, you know that better than anyone else, so I don't care what trouble that woman can cause us. Believe me, I've prepared for the worst. ”
The director's face looked a little better.
"I'm not going to forgive you for these. Luo, if you want my forgiveness, you'll have to come up with something more. ”
Robert held up his phone. "I've put pressure on the 'oracle', and the name is the result of the pressure, and although I don't know what the name means for the time being, I dare say that it's a name that allows the president to sit down quietly."
"A name?" The Director pursed his lips contemptuously. "Don't expect too much from a name, not even the Pope's name can quiet the president right now."
Robert looked up at the Director, his blue eyes tinged with cynicism.
"No one does not make mistakes, sir. Especially in the intelligence industry, we deal with countless people and countless pieces of information every day, and the chance of making mistakes is actually as great as the chance of success. The CIA is not God, and even if it is God, doesn't it also create a freak like Satan? If the president wants to pursue the CIA, then should we also pursue the fact that he let ** go? It's fair to say that 9/11 only happened because he personally put his business partners on planes and left the United States, but did the CIA blame the president of the United States for this? ”
"But after all, he is your president, your commander of the three armed forces, the one who pays you, are you going to fight him?" The Director's mood eased slightly.
"I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, not to the President of the United States." Robert replied coldly. "And I swear I'm worthy of every penny that this president, the commander of the armed services, the people who pay me a salary, and I can say that I am doing my best to protect the American people, but, does he dare to say that? We all know what exactly he sent thousands of troops to Afghanistan and Iraq. Didn't you also buy shares in Lockheed Martin? ”
"Those have nothing to do with what is happening in front of you! Hell, Luo, how can you think like a college student? "The director was furious." We all know that the president is not a smart man, so we have to do our best to wipe his ass. God, this is what we have to do for America's sake! ”
That's when Big Bob stormed into the director's office.
"Daniel Taylor, who works on Capitol Hill, is Franklin's secretary to Senate Planning."
"Now I know why congressional documents are in front of the Chinese." Robert shrugged his shoulders. "There are also documents from the Lande company, and sometimes, even we have to know from the Chinese what we are going to do next."
The Second Department of the General Staff Department has three intelligence analysis offices, which are responsible for conducting in-depth intelligence analysis of targets in specific regions, one of which is called the analysis office of the United States or Western countries, that is, the fifth department called internally and externally. The analysts working in this body generally have lived and worked abroad for many years, are able to obtain political and economic information on the basis of information obtained from published sources, and have a high reputation in intelligence circles because of the accuracy of their work.
The report of the US Congress and the documents of the RAND think tank are the main sources of their analysis. These documents cover all aspects of social life, and it is not easy to obtain these documents because of the congressional report, and the right-wing RAND Corporation has a monopoly on the US government's investigation and research on domestic and foreign policies. Over the years, the United States has never been able to have a complete upper hand over China, and to a large extent, it has grasped the direction of the US government's decision-making. The United States is not the only one with similar think tanks, but their manifestations are different.
"This Daniel Taylor is a spy for the Chinese?" The Director frowned.
"Maybe he's just been brainwashed." Robert pinched his brow wearily. "It's a strange world."
The Director's expression gradually brightened.
"One espionage case at this time is enough to get the president out of this trouble, well done, Rowe."
Robert sighed. "I don't think so, sir." The oracle has helped us a lot, but the problem is that he seems to have his own agenda, for he only wants to give information he is willing to provide, and as a renegade he behaves very strangely, I must say, I have never been in such a situation, and I feel that we cannot have full control over him. ”
The Director smiled. "It's your problem, Luo, your future is tied to him."
Robert did not comment on this, but left the director's office with Big Bob.
He doesn't care how he can share the president's worries right now. Scythe has suffered heavy losses, and captain Kurt Russell has returned to Washington and is waiting to report back to him, which is what he cares about most now.
