Bob looked at Robert.

"How to destroy? Do you want me to send the 'Scythe' to China? Before it could be landed, these white lads would be eaten even the bones of the belt. Don't underestimate the counterintelligence power of the Chinese. ”

Robert pushes the pizza aside.

"If Chinese can freely enter and leave the world, then who will be afraid of the United States? I know where your problem is. Amat fell into the hands of the Chinese, which shows that there are Chinese undercover agents within them. This organization can't even guarantee its own purity, I don't think they have a future, and cooperating with them will only drag us down. ”

"So?" Bob didn't understand the point of his whining.

"We've been supporting the cause of ***** Sport, and now it's their turn to give back. Don't the Chinese care much about separatism? If we give them some information, they will do something similar, and as long as they enter Afghanistan again, that's the best time to annihilate them. Robert's eyes showed a ferocity like an eagle. Someone has to teach the Chinese a lesson, to know who the world belongs to. ”

Bob understood what Robert meant.

"And who else are you going to send to Afghanistan?"

"Of course, it's the people on Beijing's blacklist of 50 people, and we want to find someone who has influence on Beijing but does little damage to our cause as bait. With such a decoy, the next work of the 'Big Scythe' will be much simpler. What do you see? Bob? Isn't this plan more enticing than your pizza? ”

"Let's use the 'oracle' first, this is the key right now. Amat falling into the hands of the Chinese will definitely tell the truth, and that will also make us ugly. Bob watched amusefully as Robert picked up the pizza with the sausage removed. This pizza is simply a sieve, and what does it taste like when you eat it. ”

Robert made a reluctant gesture. "I don't want Susan to worry about my body. Since I learned about her condition, I couldn't lie to her anymore. ”

Bob stood up. "We're going to add 'scythe' first, and Kurt will do it himself. But how do you convince the Oracle to obey your orders this time? ”

Robert smiled. "He's got Uncle Sam's huge check, he has to get something in exchange, right?"

Watching Bob walk out of the office, Robert picked up the phone and dialed a Hong Kong number. It's still early in the morning in Hong Kong, another time zone, but Robert doesn't have time to care about Buck Willis's feelings on the other end of the phone. If the Chinese rule the world, then the tragedy is not as simple as not sleeping well.

Buck Willis, the chief representative of the Institute for Global Affairs in Hong Kong, has the appearance of a standard government worker: always worried, with a pair of pensive eyes under wide black-rimmed glasses. He had also been blessed, and if it weren't for the belt, his stomach would have been able to drag to the ground.

He hated his job because he was miserable with the ringing of the phone, which rang day and night. And the command on the phone is even more painful. In privately armed villages on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, American business associates were attacked and kidnapped at night. Now he's going to figure out how to find a way out of the disappearance of this business partner.

Everyone knows that the so-called business partners are drug dealers, and in a place like Afghanistan, what serious business can be done? There's only one kind of business here, which is a steady stream of drugs, then a steady stream of weapons, and then there's a scuffle, and the result of the scuffle is to grab more territory to grow more drugs.

What does it have to do with the United States to be attacked on their own turf, most of which is a scramble between buyers and sellers? Buck was a little annoyed by the need to mobilize precious intelligence resources for something like this. However, he was not so annoyed as to refuse the deputy commissioner's order, and he had to go wherever Robert asked him to meet. 9/11 ruined the future of a large number of people in the CIA, including his, who would not have gotten this little job if it weren't for Robert's strong recommendation. Everyone knows that Hong Kong is the world of the Chinese, and someone once said that if someone gets a list of CCP agents in Hong Kong, then at least half of them will have to emigrate overseas. In such a place, even the Institute of Global Affairs could not do anything.

In the intelligence community, everyone knows that this kind of organization, which bears the signs of "Institute of Global Affairs" and "Institute for Global Strategic Studies," is a branch of the intelligence organs of various countries. These intelligence agencies do not have their own agents, but employ experts in various fields to analyze and sift out useful information based on documents or public publications obtained by other departments, and if necessary, to sell this information to anyone, any country, so these agencies are also more aptly called "intelligence traffickers". However, the real big intelligence agencies have always been dismissive of such intelligence sources.

That's why Robert set up this agency: everyone knows it's an intelligence agency, but no one takes it seriously. The "oracle" plan is absolutely secret, and even the president has no authority to know and interfere, so Buck is not aware of Robert's painstaking efforts. All he had to do was to take Robert's instructions and meet people somewhere, which is why he felt particularly pessimistic about the future.

This word, he thinks, is again the request of experts who have made "special" discoveries. There are often people who think that their analysis is valuable, but in fact it is meaningless except for subjective speculation and alarmism, which is also where Buck is dissatisfied with his work, with his experience, he can see at a glance the truth and falsehood of those so-called information, but he has to be with these ignorant bastards.

Unbeknownst to Mr. Buck, the call was also recorded by the officer on duty in the listening room of the Hong Kong station of China's Ministry of State Security when he put down the phone. What Buck doesn't yet know is that China's Ministry of State Security has a more positive view of his worth than his own, so even though he has been living like an ordinary person for several years, the Ministry of State Security has not reduced its "attention" to him.

This, of course, is due to the fact that he has a personal and official relationship with the deputy director of the CIA, and anyone with a modicum of common sense can foresee that a veteran agent like Buck will not be kept in the cold forever, and it would be a huge waste not to use his experience and talents.

Surveillance of Buck has always been carried out by the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Bureaus of the Ministry of State Security. The Seventh Bureau, also known as the Counter-Espionage Intelligence Bureau, is responsible for counter-espionage intelligence collection; The Eighth Bureau, also known as the Counter-Espionage Investigation Bureau, is in charge of the follow-up, investigation, and arrest of foreign spies; The Ninth Bureau, also known as the Bureau of Internal Security and Reconnaissance, is in charge of guarding against espionage of foreign-related units and monitoring reactionary organizations and foreign organizations in China.

The experts of the seventh bureau compared and analyzed Buck's call today through previous data, and judged that he was going to connect with his own intelligence sources today. Due to the rare uncertainty of the person, place and time, which shows that the person Buck is going to meet this time is not the usual small fish and shrimp, the experts in the listening room are starting to get excited. Day after day of boring waiting for the glory of this moment, the experts almost screamed to inform the action team. In this way, when Buck left his residence in Central, the agents of the Eighth Bureau were dispatched one after another, and the information of the people and agencies that Buck usually came into contact with was also extracted from the database, and the information of the entire operation was handed over to the head of the department in the shortest possible time.

In the building of the Ministry of State Security, as long as you see a short and fat man wearing thick glasses and walking and dangling, you can be 100% sure that this person is Song Fei. His slow movement and gentle expression always make people ignore the fact that Song Fei is actually the most ruthless and resourceful person in the security department.

Among his opponents, he was called "Cobra". In recent years, he has made considerable achievements in East and Southeast Asian affairs, and has been very effective in controlling and purging Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese spies, so that he is in fact the third person in the Ministry of Security and the direct supervisor of An Nianrong.

Although Premier An Jiaqing and Song Fei had been very close to each other when they were young, because of Song Fei's personality and the nature of his work, he maintained a superior-subordinate attitude towards his junior An Nianrong on any occasion and never tolerated and accommodated. It is said that in An Nianrong's promotion this time, the only one who has objections is Song Fei.

This is probably because Song Fei has a lot of complaints about her work style of "cutting first and then playing", and An Nianrong also doesn't like Song Fei's work style of asking about everything. But An Nianrong didn't care about this. She knows Song Fei well and knows his personality very well, even if he does not agree to the appointment of An Nianrong, she will absolutely cooperate at work.
