"Belgium's missile program?" Louis was stunned, he obviously hadn't expected Franklin to ask such a strange question. So he emphasized, "You mean Belgium is also developing missiles?" ”

The Secretary of Defense obviously did not take Colonel Franklin's words seriously, and ballistic missiles are not something that a small country can afford to play, and Belgium is only the size of three White Sands missile bases. The size of the country limited their missile tests. Although there were rumors in the military department that Belgium had destroyed the British ship with ballistic missiles, Louis only kept a negative attitude towards this claim.

"This Belgium is far from being as simple as we think." Colonel Franklin glanced left and right, and Louis leaned his ear over in understanding, "If you want to know the secret, come with me, Secretary of Defense." What is shown to you next will make you revisit this ally of America. ”

Louis left behind his entourage and followed Colonel Franklin to the door of a room. Franklin pulled out the key and inserted it into the keyhole, he turned to Secretary Louis and said, "Minister, please prepare yourself for this. ”

With that, Colonel Franklin turned the keyhole, and the door slowly opened, revealing a room with newspaper clippings on the wall. Louis shifted slowly, carefully reading the newspaper clippings. He found that the vast majority of newspaper clippings were about major international events that had taken place in recent years.

In the middle was a map of the world, with red lines and pictures of various people, and Secretary Louis's first thought was that Colonel Franklin had gone mad.

"Crazy, isn't it? Unbelievable, right? Colonel Franklin smiled wryly, and when he had revealed his thoughts, many people had gone crazy as Secretary Louis had thought at first.

"From Feng? Braun disappeared after being held hostage in the Ardennes and went to the Greek Communist Party leader Marcos? Vafiadis was killed. From the mass death of the top brass of the Congolese National Independence Front to the killing of Viet Cong leaders Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap by the French, from the Atlantic explosion to the disappearance of the British fleet now. We always find the names of the following companies. ”

With a serious expression, Colonel Franklin pointed to the two newspaper clippings on the wall, namely the Belgian company Talest Heavy Weapons Company and the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperation Company.

"They are the ones who are involved in the action. They are also the ones who profit from it. And the most direct loss of interests caused by the turmoil in those regions is the United States and the Soviet Union. Through a friend in the intelligence services, I found out who was behind these two companies, the current crown prince of Belgium, His Royal Highness Albert. ”

Colonel Franklin pointed to the Albert photo in the center and said flatly, "I believe that the mastermind behind all this is the crown prince of Belgium." ”

Minister Louis took off Albert's photo, and deep down, he had a good impression of Albert, otherwise he would not have spared no effort to help him in front of the president. So Louis asked expressionlessly, "Why are you so sure it's him?" ”

"Because that's the result of five years of tracking that I started in 1945."

Colonel Franklin, with the help of Secretary Louis, wanted to make the matter public. He slumped back in his chair, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, then added, "In 1945, when I was a colonel in the 44th Infantry Division, I sent my proudest men to escort a scientist from the Ardennes to Brussels, Belgium. I thought it would be a simple task. As a result, the next day I received a notification from the military headquarters that the scientists I was escorting had disappeared, and that all my men had been assassinated by the remnants of the Nazis in Belgium. ”

"And the missing scientist is Feng? Braun. ”

"I'm sorry." Louis whispered. He didn't expect Colonel Franklin to be the victim of that incident. It is said that the War Department suspected that there were internal ghosts in the 44th Infantry Division at that time, and dealt with a number of related high-ranking officials, and it is obvious that this colonel, who "ascended and descended secretly," also came to the Baisha missile base for this reason.

"It's all gone, it's just that I can't swallow this breath." Colonel Franklin clenched his fists. "I just want them to know that there isn't a single traitor in the Forty-Fourth Infantry Division," he said hatefully. Their loyalty is as loyal as they did when they took the oath to the flag. ”

"Presumably, these people, these things, Minister Louis also knows a thing or two. And I think the assassination of President Truman by the Puerto Rican Independence Party is also closely related to the Belgian crown prince. At this point, Franklin paused abruptly, knowing that he had talked a little too much, and added, "Of course this is just my guess. ”

Secretary Louis certainly knew much more than Colonel Franklin, and combined with some previous speculation, Franklin's reasoning about the presidency still had some truth. He said directly, "From now on, you don't have to live here, I will recommend you in front of the president and transfer you to the CIA." ”

"Huh?" Franklin obviously did not expect Secretary Louis to make such a sudden decision, and my initial idea was to use Louis's hand to hope that the US government would pay more attention to the movements in Belgium.

"The C.I.A. had a plan against the Belgian crown prince, but it ended two years ago when relations between the United States and Belgium improved, and the implementer of the plan, the first director of the CIA, was transferred to the Air Department for that reason. But I think it's time to relaunch the program, and with what you know about Belgium, I think you should be in charge of it. ”

With Louis's words, Colonel Franklin's revenge plan, which he thought he would never be able to complete in his lifetime, was almost half realized, and his entry into the CIA's special planning department meant that he could mobilize the resources of the army, navy, and air force to investigate Albert's plan.

"But this operation must be carried out in hiding from the top of the United States, at least for now, they have not broken with the Belgian government." Louis kindly reminded Franklin not to be too explicit in this matter, lest he be caught.

Franklin hesitated, "Minister Louis, I want to let you know that this matter is definitely not that simple, and the goal of the Belgians is not to disturb the situation in the region and profit from it. I'm sure these events are just the tip of the iceberg of their vast plans......" (to be continued......
