Chapter 33: Walking on Thin Ice (8)

"Want to know why we're isolated?" Ivan spoke.

One by one, we all sat up straight and looked at him. Sasha even spoke, "I've never dreamed of knowing what's going on. How come all of a sudden we are the ones everyone has to deal with? Are we that powerful? ”

"It's actually quite simple. It's not complicated, it's that our direct contact, or direct leader, is out of luck. It is now under review. So..... Ivan said slowly.

"So we're motherless children?" I said, "Isn't our leader Klinger?" Bad luck means he's dead? ”

"Klinger is just one of them. He was assigned to direct our direct leadership. There is another one in Russia, you can ask Eunice who this person is, Eunice knows each other and the two should be quite familiar with each other. I don't know exactly who it was, but I did know there was such a person. Ivan said.

"So what does it mean to be unlucky?" Paul asked.

Ivan shook his head, "I don't know. But Younis told me that it was censored. The recent series of events, such as Klinger's death, will have all kinds of situations in this industry, but there must be an explanation. Klinger is not a person like you and me, we die like this, and no one will notice it except my own family. But Klinger has to have a clear statement, there must be an explanation, his actions are secret, and not many people even know about his existence, so why was he ambushed? Who leaked it, and what happened to the loss of people on so many lines after that? What else has been leaked besides these? These must be clarified. ”

"So what's the other leader who is unlucky? Quarantined for review? I asked.

Ivan shook his head, "I think that's just one of the reasons. Who can explain everything in their work clearly? Even if it is clearly stated, there are witnesses and physical evidence, and everyone has to believe it. Sometimes what can be said is not necessarily true. In Younis's words, this time is not just for this one thing, but just an opportunity. ”

"Opportunity? Is that being fought for? Paul asked.

"That's how it should be." Ivan nodded.

"What does the struggle do to us? This is like an army general who has lost a battle, and has only heard of the responsibility of the commander, but can he also investigate all the ordinary soldiers or dismantle the troops on the spot or even solve them all? The key soldiers still fought valiantly without fear of war. Does that make sense? I said with some excitement.

"Yes. The gypsies were right. The struggle between them does not care about us? Who are we really people? Sasha said with some excitement.

Ivan smiled bitterly, "Haven't you figured it out yet?" We are not forgotten. It's being targeted. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? I think there is a lot of subtext in Ivan's words, "Are you saying that others are taking advantage of our loss of leadership and command to eradicate us?" And do you mean that we are being joined by others inside and outside? ”

"Inside and outside?" Sasha looked at me puzzled, "Who's inside?" We were sold? ”

I looked at Ivan and waited for his answer, Ivan looked at me and said, "From now on, the other party has a plan to deal with us." This confrontation did not begin today. This gypsy you should be clear. At least during the period in Serbia, the other side already had this plan and was even already doing it. ”

"Yes. Indeed it is. The guy named Waldette mentioned before we were killed that someone was dealing with us, and he didn't know about the seventeenth inning, but I understand it definitely not the Serbs that Milke and I were leading at the time, but the seventeenth inning. I said.

"You're not wrong about that. That's for sure. And in the case of Klinger, it is obvious that there must be something wrong with the Russian side. It was revealed that Klinger was at least tenth

There is news that a very important person in the seventh game will go to Serbia to meet with such a Serb. Thus such an operation was designed. Ivan said.

"Hmmm... Are you saying that not many people know about this operation? I asked.

"Yes." Ivan nodded, "There are very few people who know where Klinger is going. This is strictly confidential. No one of us here will know. Eunice often doesn't know where Klinger is. ”

"But does this operation need to know where Klinger is? Isn't it okay for the other party to wait? I asked.

"Nope. It won't be that simple. After the accident, Younis told me that Klinger had not agreed in advance on when and where he would meet. This is for insurance. Because of this, in addition to the normal security personnel, Berezov and a team of people were also brought with him. They asked the guy to meet him directly when they got there. But in this case, he was successfully killed by the other party. ”

"I didn't make an agreement with the other party, but I made an agreement internally?" I asked.

Ivan nodded, "Of course." Even when the kidnapper and the payer are dealing with each other, they will not improvisably direct the other party to go there and where the money is placed. It's all planned in advance, and we want to create a sense of elusiveness and control for each other, not for ourselves. Instead, we want better control of the situation. If it is completely dependent on whims, it is likely that you will be unlucky in the end. ”

"Then if you do what you say, it's really the problem that lies on the Russian side." Paul whispered.

"That's how it should be. We shouldn't have a problem here, it's a very technical thing, it's not something that we people can know if they want to know, and we can reveal it if we want to. Ivan said.

I nodded, Ivan was right. Many bad things also have thresholds, and some have very high thresholds. To put it bluntly, we are just a task force, and most of the people in front of me except Ivan are not. Klinger's own actions weren't intended to call these people, how would these people know? I don't think Berezov knew where he was going or what he was going to do.

"Then why is Younis okay? Wasn't he investigated? I asked.

"Of course. He will definitely be investigated. But he ran. There is no stupidity waiting to be caught. Ivan said and smiled.

"What? Are you saying that the Russian side is capturing Younis? I stood up. Because I found out that I was pitted, I was pitted miserably... This old guy really pulled me onto the thief ship this time, not only is he facing NATO, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the local snake, but the fucking Russians are not his own people. "You're still laughing?" I felt a fire of ignorance rushing to the top of my brain, and I really wanted to give Ivan two slaps.

"Wait." I suddenly remembered something, "That old thing told me that someone was going to arrest him, but he saw through it and let him run away, those people can't be not from NATO, but from Russia, right?" ”

Ivan looked at me, and I wanted him to deny it. Although I know that this possibility is very small at the moment, and it is getting smaller and smaller. But I still expect that, and I expect him to deny it. But Ivan looked at me and nodded, "Quite possibly." ”
