Chapter 1203: Meddling
"If that's the case, it's a big problem." Michelle sat heavily in the cabin seat, covering her face with her hands and digging her fingers deep into her hair.
"I'm afraid that will alarm the Russians, if the FSB finds out ......"
At this time, Mister quietly gave Qin Fei a look and made a grimace.
Qin Fei instantly understood what Mister meant.
As Mist has said before, Europeans like Michel are naturally hostile and wary of Russia.
Now that XS gel explosives may enter countries near Russia, the FSB is quite sensitive to what is happening on its own turf, and once the FSB intervenes, things will be unstable.
What's more, in Michelle's eyes, she has always thought that the matter of XS gel explosives has a lot to do with the Russian intelligence service, because she has always avoided dealing with these big hairy people.
The FSB that Michelle is talking about is actually the KGB (KGB), a famous intelligence agency of the former Soviet Union, and the organization of the KGB reached its peak during the Cold War, including the two independent bureaus of the General Directorate of Border Guards and the Reconnaissance Technology Bureau, a total of 18 sub-bureaus!
At one time, the number of KGB system personnel reached more than 500,000, including 10,000 in headquarters organs, 200,000 in espionage, counterespionage, and technical support departments, and 300,000 in border guards. In addition, there are 1.5 million informants in the country, 250,000 spies abroad, and an annual budget of $10 billion.
In the early nineties, after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Russia fell into a period of considerable economic downturn, and could no longer afford to retain the original KGB, so it could only greatly reduce and downsize personnel, and turned into the current Federal Security Service (FSB), in fact, these people are the elite from the KGB.
Qin Fei understood Michelle's difficulties.
If both the Black Sun and the Quds City Army choose to build new warehouses or research labs in small countries on the Russian border, MI17 will have to face a very sensitive question - whether or not to cooperate with the FSB.
If they choose not to cooperate, if the Russians perceive something, they will use it as an excuse to create insecurity on their borders on the part of the Empire.
If you choose to cooperate, no one wants to join forces with a potential enemy, not to mention that last time MI6 and FSB director Alexander Kovich had an unpleasant deal, which eventually led to the Russian defection expert Korolev being killed in a small town outside Stockholm.
In the eyes of European intelligence services, intelligence services like the Russian FSB cannot be trusted.
"Major Michelle, can you hear me a few words?" Qin Fei felt the need to talk to Michelle about this.
In a dozen hours, the Ri-2PG transport will arrive in Eastern Europe, where it will likely land at a pre-planned location, where a new manufacturing base for XS gel explosives may be re-established.
If it were a few small countries close to the Russian border, the situation had not been stable in recent years, and they now have more or less territorial disputes with Russia, and some of them, if they did not, were not of Russian ethnicity, let alone believe in Orthodoxy, and in their bones they had never obeyed the management of the Russians, and were always secretly doing things.
In addition, in order to avoid irritating the Russians, NATO countries do not dare to carry out too conspicuous activities there, otherwise they will be caught in pigtails and will have to make a big fuss.
Fan Tianlong chose this place, obviously because he saw this order, so that NATO's member countries were all jealous.
Therefore, XS gel explosives are obviously the safest if they are produced there.
"Say it, I'd like to hear what you think." Michelle Road.
Qin Fei asked rhetorically, "Major, do you have a laptop?" ”
"Yes." Michelle was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her head into the cabin and shouted, "Who can give me an idle laptop?" ”
Soon, a female officer walked up to Michelle with a 12-inch military enhanced computer in her hand, handed it to her, and said, "Major, you use mine." ”
Qin Fei asked the non-commissioned officer, "Soldier, is there a map in it?" Eastern Europe. ”
"Absolutely." The lady officer nodded and lit up the screen, and quickly used the touchpad to bring up the map of Eastern Europe that Qin Fei needed.
"Thanks, you can go and get busy." Qin Fei took the computer, smiled and nodded like a lady in his top hat.
Mister kept staring at the buttocks of others until the lady returned to her own actions, and she almost whistled and flirted with her on the spot.
Qin Fei pointed the screen at Michelle: "Major, if you were Fan Tianlong, which country would you choose as your first choice?" ”
Michelle gently touched his chin, looked at the map for a while, and muttered: "First of all, of course, to take out the countries in Eastern Europe that have joined NATO, if he is not stupid, he will not send it to the door." ”
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought." Qin Fei said: "If it were me, I wouldn't have chosen the NATO country, he knows that you are tracking him." ”
"Then all that's left are the countries on the Russian border...... Michelle zoomed in a bit, focusing on the smaller countries near the Russian border.
"Ukraine?" She thought about it, shook her head again, and said: "Definitely not, there is a mess there, there are pro-Russian and anti-Russian, the situation is too complicated and not suitable for ......"
After looking at it for a while, Michelle's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head to look at Qin Fei: "I seem to have thought of a more suitable area." ”
"Isn't it here?" Qin Fei put his finger on the screen and tapped it lightly.
Michelle's brow furrowed, and he smiled knowingly.
Mister couldn't hold back, and immediately stood up and leaned over to the two of them, looking at the screen.
Upon seeing the address, his mouth turned into an O-shape.
"North Caucasus?"
He looked at Qin Fei with surprised eyes, and then at Michelle.
"It's under the control of the Russians, it's their territory, is it possible?"
"Why not?" Qin Fei said: "Think about it carefully. It doesn't seem safe to be placed in a small border country that is not NATO, and although these countries do not have a good impression of the Russians, they are more afraid that they will fall into the inexplicable of cooperating with the KB elements. There is also a more important point, Fan Tianlong and Kawasaki Ryuichi know that many intelligence agencies are watching them, so they have no sense of security when they settle in such a small country, and they are easy to be attacked by special forces. But ......"
He pointed to the location of the Caucasus.
"It's different here, it's within the territory of Russia, but they've always disliked Russian rule, so they can get help from a lot of local organizations, and even local officials will turn a blind eye."
Qin Fei said: "More importantly, even if NATO knows that Fan Tianlong's base is there, I am afraid that it will not dare to act privately, and if it does not have the permission of the Russians, it is an invasion, and now the relationship between NATO and Moscow is tense enough, and no one wants to add fuel to the fire." ”
"Well, it seems to make sense to hear you say that......" Meese tapped his head a few times and glanced at Michelle in front of him again: "Major, what are you going to do?" Working with the Russians? ”
Michelle had a look of disgust on her face and did not speak.
The atmosphere became awkward and silent, and the talk seemed to have reached a dead end.
After a long time, Qin Fei broke the atmosphere of silence: "I am in favor of cooperating with the FSB. ”
Michelle raised his head and looked at Qin Fei in shock, and Mister smiled and asked without hesitation: "You are singing against the major, Qin, is there a basis for doing this?" ”
