CHAPTER XXVII

Robert went on to work like he did when he was younger.

After Susan's funeral, he seemed to be a different person. God doesn't particularly favor someone, at least not Robert in particular, and he takes not only Susan, but also Robert's work. Ironically, since he received the "oracle", all the work he has done has ended in failure, and the one in Pakistan was barely considered a success, but it drew complaints from the military that had suffered heavy losses.

His paranoid attitude to work is both comforting and annoying. He hung all the FBI investigation reports all over the walls and even spread them on the floor, and every day he either stared at the materials in a daze, kept talking on the phone, or soaked in the laboratory and other departments. His subordinates were exhausted by him, and from time to time they were scolded by him. The only thing that comforted him was that Jack, who was likely to succeed him? Blake never 'showed up', just made a few polite 'sex' phone calls to inquire about the progress of the matter, which was fine, but it was easier to listen to his voice than the people who met him.

Robert is most interested in *** reasons. At first, he suspected that something was wrong with his department's 'door', which caused him to lose a lot of time. It wasn't until he received the Bureau's quarterly anti-terrorism memo that he found out that the internal numbers used by CIA agents were on the list of detected ones in the memo using the NSA and NCIS GPS positioning system records. Now the question is much simpler, who applied for the monitoring of the signal.

Figuring this out had taken them almost a week. So far, it is still a mystery how the internal numbers of the agents were leaked, and there are many channels of this ***, which is difficult to find out thoroughly. But the application for monitoring the number comes from Virginia International Airport. After an investigation and a comparison of the application list, the final suspicion focused on a person named Dudeyeva? Alesandra? Andreyeva's staff, but by this time, the staff member had disappeared.

It's a Russian name, could it be that Russian intelligence agents are already involved? Robert stared blankly at the *** forest outside the window. If the most courageous Russians work with the most creative Chinese, it will not be good for the Americans.

The KGB has been replaced by Russia's Federal Security Service, and it is an indisputable fact that what was once the world's most feared secret intelligence agency is not as good as it used to be, but the CIA has never let its guard down on them. Like the Americans, the Russians are a great people who have never lacked tenacity and resourcefulness in the face of pressure, and if they are involved, the battle between China and the United States for the highest level of secrecy will become even more intriguing.

But the Russians denied it in its entirety. Judging from the 'revealed' emotions of the Russians during the phone call with the head of the Security Service, at least this time they were telling the truth. Of course, because the Russians are very good at acting, it is entirely possible that they will create a false impression on Robert. It's not a face-to-face conversation, and no one can be sure of that.

"Not a polar bear." Robert stood up from his chair and came to a conclusion at the same time. "Their interest in China is in another area. It doesn't make any particular sense to them to know who leaks secrets to the Chinese in the Pentagon, so they don't risk sending someone to Washington. The Russians are cunning, and taking such a risk is not their style. ”

Bob looked at his boss suspiciously.

"But they can't get any more information about this 'woman'. This 'woman' was a blank slate until she was twenty years old, can you imagine such a thing happening in that country? This shows what they are trying to cover up. The involvement of a Russian in such an event gives me such a feeling. ”

Roberto loosened his tie.

"Russians? How can you tell if she is a Russian? Just by virtue of their white skin and blue eyes? No, Bob, your vision is too narrow. We also trained Chinese Americans to be spies, can you say that they are still Chinese? By the same token, if this Russian had grown up in China, then she could no longer be considered a Russian except that she was fluent in Russian. ”

Bob looked at Robert and slowly opened his mouth.

"That's right, Bob, that's right." Robert nodded repeatedly. "There are people in Russia who sympathize with the Chinese, so they are willing to help the Chinese in various ways. I can be sure that this Russian 'woman' is a spy trained by the Chinese. The information also shows that she lived with her parents living in China until she was 20 years old, but after she returned to Russia, she became a state champion in biathlon and participated in the Olympic trials, which shows that she is not only an excellent athlete, but also a "good" soldier. Obviously, she was trained in China. ”

"If she is a spy for China, why should she participate in a border war?"

Flipping through the documents transferred by the Russians, Bob suddenly asked such a question.

Robert turned. "This may be the patriotic fervor of the Russians, or perhaps the instruction of the Chinese. But this makes it all the more suggestive that Russia has nothing to do with it, because this is already their most confidential information. The reason the Russians have spared no effort to help us is because they also want us to give the Chinese a look. ”

Bob smiled with a gloating smile. "Because they are also suffering from the Chinese."

Robert shook his head. "They're just jealous, because the Chinese will soon leave them behind."

Bob nodded. "In fact, all the troubles of the Russians are of our making. If it weren't for the victory of the Russians' patriotic fervor over the US dollar, their situation would have been even more difficult, so if it weren't for the jokes of the Chinese, they would not have cooperated with us so happily. ”

"In Georgia, we hired a lot of Russians to fight against the Russian border troops. At first, they were able to lose a lot, but then their excellent 'shooters' spontaneously and continuously arrived from all over the world, among which there were many champions of 'shooting' competitions, and there was never one place where there were so many world-class 'shooters'. The battle was not large, but it was fierce, and they won. Robert let out a long sigh as well. Just for the sake of fighting for those worthless mountains, you can see where the 'spirit' of the Russians lies. ”

"No need to shed American blood anyway." Bob laughed eatingly. "That's what gives me the most relief."

Robert gave Bob an approving look and made a cross on his chest. "God bless America."

"Then that means that our enemies are still Chinese. It is inconceivable that those timid and docile Chinese could do such a thing. Bob shook his head. Remember when we bombed his embassy? Their performance is simply ridiculous. I know it's good for them, but the important thing is that the whole world knows about their cowardice. ”

Robert didn't speak.

Until now, Bob's views have been able to represent the views of most Americans about Chinese.

It's stupid. Times are changing, and Chinese are constantly accumulating their confidence. Whatever they do now won't surprise Robert. After years of operation, the CIA believed that China's intelligence agencies were under their control, but now the facts have shown that the CIA has missed something. And the "oracle" has even more excuse to take the initiative in the relations between the two sides, because in these events, the CIA has invariably behaved incompetently.

"My view is that they still have special 'doors' or systems. Unlike traditional intelligence agencies, this system is more 'lean' and efficient. If Lin Yongquan has brought us any benefits, it is to let us know that the Chinese also have such a system. Oh, and it's going to stop the Pentagon rats for a while. ”

He looked at Bob with a rare glint in his eyes.

"If we don't completely clear this 'door', we can't ask the oracle to do more for us."

"Even then, you'll have to ask the Oracle to join in." Bob reminded Robert. "Who, exactly, is serving whom? We have to get this into the first place. ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Robert walked over to Bob and sat down. "The Oracle has a lot of potential, but if we want to take advantage of the system, we'll have to weaken it a bit. After weakening their strength, they will feel that they will completely fall to us when they cannot stand up to the Chinese on their own. You're right, Bob, we have to let each other know who's serving whom, and that's the gist of the cooperation, and that's the first thing to figure out. ”

"What are you going to do?" Bob looked at Robert with interest.

"I think the Chinese should know that there is an organization called 'Oracle' hidden within them." Robert smiled. "Not only can this cause 'chaos' and 'chaos' within their system, but it can also warn the 'oracle' that they are not as comfortable as they think."

"Will this cause the 'oracle' to resented us and end contact with us?" Bob looked a little worried.

"We're Americans, Bob, and we're used to taking risks." Robert shrugged his shoulders. "Besides, where else can these traitors go? They can't turn back, there is no difference between Eastern and Western concepts in their attitude towards traitors, and the fate of traitors must be miserable, so they still have to rely on us in the end. ”
