"No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing that has been claimed by a car bomb attack on Abdul Fattaha, the leader of the armed faction of the Freedom Battalion, at 9 a.m. local time in Benghazi, which has killed as many as 15 people."

"A number of buildings in Benghazi have been attacked by car bombs in recent days, all of which are located on the territory of the Libyan Freedom Battalion armed forces, and it is reported that on January 16, the new leader of the Freedom Battalion, Baihaeddin, issued a statement that this is a provocation for peace in Benghazi, and the Libyan Freedom Battalion will never allow such incidents to happen again."

"The Red Crescent Brigades claimed responsibility for the January 18 suicide attack in which the new leader of the Libyan Freedom Battalion, Baihaeddin, was killed in a suicide attack, as well as a series of bombing attacks that preceded it."

"On January 19, the Red Crescent Brigades launched an attack on the Libyan Freedom Battalion, and the interim government of Benghazi, Libya, called for restraint and an agreement, but the leaders of the Red Crescent Brigade said that there would be no understanding with the Freedom Camp and called for the revolution to be carried through to the end."

The escalating conflict could be felt in the official tone of the Al Jazeera host, the rapid deterioration of the situation in Benghazi after the attack on the Soviet embassy, and anyone with the slightest knowledge of the situation will know that this is the KGB's revenge on the US proxy. Since the other side dared to attack the US embassy openly, the KGB would not screen those forces that attacked the embassy, and those who did not attack the embassy, and directly uprooted the American agents in the face of the absolute superiority of the Soviet agents.

This is the most direct way of doing things in the KGB, conflict is not necessarily the best way to solve problems, but it is definitely the most effective and direct way. The Red Crescent Brigade, which was provided with guns, shells and military personnel trained by the KGB, launched a fierce attack on the territory of the Freedom Battalion like monsters armed to the teeth.

Director Tenet's face became ugly, he didn't expect the Soviet Union's reaction to be so fierce, and those small calculations became useless in the face of absolute superiority. And now there is a very embarrassing situation in front of him, that is, whether the CIA needs to help its own agents.

Tenet didn't want to give up a long-established pawn, but the CIA's tight budget simply couldn't afford to provide them with large-scale aid, and as President Mario had said before, the CIA would have to do enough if it wanted to get extra funding.

Now that the results have not been achieved, they are thinking about approving new funds from the president, and are they really a bunch of fools when the congressmen who take care of the money bags?

"Connect me to the White House, and I'm going to have direct contact with President Mario." Director Tenet instructed that while this was not the best time to ask the president for money, if he did not seek assistance, the CIA's previous layout would be disrupted.

"Director Tenet, I hope you will call me in the midst of your busy schedule to report the good news to me. What is going on in Libya is at stake for the United States in North Africa. "President Mario has also been paying attention to the Libyan trend in the past few days, because many members of Congress have set their eyes on this troubled country, and behind them are several giants of the American energy industry.

"No, Director Mario, it's not good news, it's a bit bad. Now the C.I.A. urgently needs a special grant to support U.S. proxies in Libya. ”

President Mario, who was talking on the phone while signing the paperwork, put down his pen, held the phone and said, "What's going on?" Again, didn't Congress approve a grant to you for the CIA before? ”

Tenet's Adam's apple rolled a little, and he plucked up his courage and repeated what he had just said, "The CIA needs a special fund to support American agents in Libya, and now the underfunded CIA can't come up with so much money to support our allies, and the Soviet agents who have received strong support from the Soviet Union are further compressing our armed forces, so I want to ......"

"But that's not what you promised me, Director Tenet. What did you say at the beginning? The CIA will definitely fight a good fight, so that the Soviet power will never be able to raise its head in Libya. President Mario said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you change your mind so quickly?" ”

"Because we didn't expect the Soviet counterattack to be so fast, it's unimaginable. Or rather, their efficiency is simply terrible. Director Tenet said very frankly, the implication is that the current CIA must increase funding, otherwise he cannot be an opponent of the KGB.

"But that doesn't convince Congress that I need a more convincing reason, so be it, Director Tenet, you go back and give me a detailed report. I'll then approve the proposal as appropriate, at an uncertain date and at a time. Because in the previous investigation, the CIA had a small treasury of a lot of money, and it seemed a little inappropriate to ask Congress for money, so it is difficult to say the situation on the side of Congress. ”

President Mario put forward the conditions of refusal in disguise, leaving the CIA to figure it out on its own.

Tenet wanted to say something, but President Mario directly rejected him, "I still need to deal with some things now, I'm out of company, Director Tenet." ”

After saying this, President Mario hung up the phone directly, leaving Director Tenet with an awkward busy message. When he looked up, he saw Brandy, the head of the intelligence section in charge of Libya, standing outside the door waiting for him.

Director Tenet waved his hand and motioned for him to come in.

Brandi hurriedly pushed open the door, and before he could sit down, he asked directly, "What happened to the additional funds for Congress, did they finally agree?" Now that the Libyan Freedom Battalion has been completely suppressed by the Red Crescent Brigade, and even the armed factions that were at odds with the Freedom Battalion have begun to attack the Freedom Battalion, if this continues, this chess piece that we have been operating for a long time will be completely destroyed. ”

Tenet shook his head in frustration, he scratched his hair, but he couldn't think of any solution, "President Mario rejected my suggestion, and he also said that the CIA had its own little coffer, so why not use those funds instead of asking Congress to pay for them." ”

"Dog-." Section Chief Brandy, who has always been calm, scolded directly, "Who doesn't know that those guys in the FBI froze our funds in the name of the investigation team, and they can't be moved until now, and they have been under the supervision of the government." Is there any other way for us than to reach out to Congress for money? ”

"President Mario has made it clear that he will not lend another amount to Congress, but what about the previous one?" Director Tenet asked.

"It's been apportioned, and there's not much left. Because the CIA has just picked itself up, there is a shortage of money and people in many places, so we can't come up with extra money. ”

"Then abandon the freedom battalion and withdraw the agents in Libya." Director Tenet responded decisively, "Even if the rest of the money is used to fill these bottomless pits, it will not help." simply abandoned the pawn of the Freedom Battalion and re-chose a new and suitable agent. ”

Hearing that he was going to give up the Freedom Camp, Brandi's heart was very uncomfortable, "But what did we do before? ”

"Did it fall short?" Director Tenet smiled bitterly, "No way, who told us that the opponent we met the KGB comprehensively suppressed the CIA in all aspects, and the previous CIA was too uncompetitive, so that the FBI who had always wanted to attack it found an opportunity." ”

This is the first time that the confident Director Tenet has suffered such a blow since joining the CIA, before he thought that Woolsey and Deutsch lost to the KGB because of the problem of ability, but now it seems that it is not that they are not good, but that the opponent is really almost demonic.

Thinking of this, he shuddered a little, shook his head at the same time, and said to himself, "KGB, what a terrible monster." (To be continued.) )
