It was the first time Colonel Franklin had stepped through the doors of the CIA, and as he walked past the CIA staff, some of them stopped what they were doing to look at the tall man.

Franklin went directly to CIA Director Rothko? Henry? Hillencott's office walked up, and Secretary of Defense Louis gave Franklin maximum authority. On the issue of Belgium, Franklin could mobilize all idle resources in the CIA, and Director Rothko would unconditionally support his actions.

Although the order seemed to make Franklin the number two in the C.I.A., he knew in his heart that Secretary Louis had only given him the maximum authority on the issue of Belgium, and that all other issues were left untouched. But that was enough for Franklin.

Franklin pushed Rothko's office open, as he was busy working on a large pile of papers. He didn't speak, just stood quietly and waited for Director Rothko to finish processing the documents before saying hello. Franklin had been waiting for almost four years, and he didn't care about waiting for another moment.

It wasn't until Rothko finished processing the documents that he looked up and saw Franklin, the director, who was more than a decade older than Franklin, and quickly apologized to him, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Franklin." You know, we've been pretty busy with the CIA lately. ”

"It's okay." Franklin looked around at the CIA director's office, which was almost full of papers, he carefully removed the pile of papers, moved his chair and sat in front of Rothko, "Actually, I came here this time to ask if you have read the reference documents provided to Director Rothko?" ”

"Of course." Rothko happily pulled out a copy from the pile of papers and moved it to Franklin, he handed the documents back to the ambitious fellow, and said, "I will fulfill your requests, including the RAND Corporation think tank you want." But I have only one request. ”

Speaking of this, Rothko also paused deliberately, Franklin knew that this matter was not so simple, he was already ready for Rothko's lion to open his mouth or lack a pound or two, and asked, "What are the requirements?" Just mention it. ”

"That is, Mr. Franklin's plan must be independent of the CIA." Rothko said what had been brewed in his heart, "The CIA is willing to provide funds and resources, but the military's resources have to be contacted by Mr. Franklin himself." Also, your personnel are newly recruited, and the office is not inside the CIA, but in a building a few blocks away. Is it acceptable? ”

Franklin's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Rothko, the cunning fox. The reason why the old fox did this was that when he wanted to have an accident, he immediately wiped out his relationship with the intelligence agency, and if he made a meritorious service, everything he did nominally was just for the CIA, and they were the ones who were rewarded.

Rothko's thoughts were very different from Franklin's, and he was the same as the previous director of the bureau, Hoyt, who fought Albert to the death? Sanford? Vandenberg is different, Rothko, who is taken care of by Albert's spy intelligence, naturally wants to let Belgium go from the bottom of his heart. The restrictions he set for Franklin can be regarded as helping Albert once in disguise, paying off a love debt.

"Of course I can take it. As long as I can catch the murderer of my men. Franklin smiled and turned away, saying no more. Rothko sighed as he looked at the lonely figure that was fading away. "Politics is a dirty." People who want to demand justice and fairness in it must have burned out their brains. ”

But Franklin, who burned his brain, was not for justice and fairness, what he wanted was bloody violence against violence, a tooth for a tooth. Over the years, those young, blood-stained faces have always been in his mind. and nightmares.

Franklin walked to the parking lot, where another young man was waiting for him in front of his car with his hands in his pockets and whistling. Although the appearance of the young man looks a little raunchy. But the eyes were faintly shining with a direct light.

"I guess you made a deal with Rothko, right? I guess the deal was that he would give you a sum of money to do it alone, but he wouldn't provide any substantial assistance himself, right? In a few words, the young man summed up the conversation between Franklin and Rothko as if he were there.

"Yes, everything is going according to your plan." Franklin nodded.

It's not the first time Franklin has seen how terrible this guy is, and in fact that's why he decided to get revenge. With Franklin in possession of certain resources, he needs a strong enough think tank, such as Wade and his friends from the RAND Corporation in front of him.

The RAND Corporation, as a for-profit organization that provides a basis for decision-making, has just gotten rid of Douglas Corporation, and at this time, the company has not yet been known as the "brain concentration camp" and "super military academy" of modern think tanks, and has not become the founder and spokesperson of the world's think tanks, but the occasional scale and half claw is enough to be amazing.

Franklin's method of venturing to talk to the director of the Defense Agency was proposed by Wade, who is good at figuring out people's hearts, and Wade naturally likes to use this sword to go sideways.

"I stated in advance that I just want to earn that 100,000 extra money." Wade stretched out his hands and said unceremoniously, "And now I want the 50,000 deposit, you know, you are fighting against a country's resources on your own." And I'm just taking on a challenge in passing, hoping that the little guy you said at the age of 15 could turn the world upside down is enough to be my opponent. ”

"You'd better be careful." Franklin handed Wade a bag full of dollars, "There is not much remarkable about the conspiracy he used, but he has a superhuman vision, and he can always grasp the most crucial point between certain pattern changes." Of course, his luck also played a big part. ”

"It sounds like I'm playing against a sharp-eyed, analytical, off-the-beaten-path character." Wade held his chin and thought for a moment, then scratched his head, "This kind of person has a fatal flaw, that is, he will not touch the situation that he is not confident in grasping." In other words, we only need to design a game that will allow this crown prince to take the bait. ”

"What are you going to do here?" Franklin realizes that things don't seem to be going in the direction he was prepared for, and he hires Wade to help him gather evidence, provide ideas, and then bring him to justice.

However, Wade was dismissive of Franklin's pedantic ideas, "Mr. Franklin, you need to know that your so-called bullshit program is nothing more than a loophole left by someone who is good at exploiting loopholes. Let me guess, did you put pressure on the government to arrest Albert after collecting the evidence? But it may be a pity that he can get away with the condemnation by doing a business with the United States, and the hard work you have spent so many years will eventually be burned, so why bother? It's better to send a killer to open a big hole in the crown prince's head. ”

Wade's unruly remarks pierced Franklin's heart deeply, and his originally tense brow was relaxed, as if to dispel part of the gloom in his heart. Wade continued to bewitch him, "Of course, sending a killer to kill him is also a risky job, and I guess you won't agree." So I can only choose the third condition that I just proposed. ”

Wade leaned his index finger on his lips and said slowly, "After we found evidence of Belgium's pit on the Soviet Union and the United States, we directly published those evidence in the evening, so that a small Belgium attracted the firepower of the two superpowers, of course, the United States and the Soviet Union had ways to make Belgium unable to survive, such as taking advantage of the national contradictions between the German-speaking Flemish people in the north and the French-speaking Walloons in the south, and the final result may be to lead to the great division of the Belgian nation, turning a small country into several city-states." ”

Borrowing a knife to kill people, Wade's plan is definitely vicious enough, and since the vengeful Franklin accepted the third suggestion, Wade clapped his hands, took a breath, and then said, "Now can you take me to your work department to pay a respect?" (To be continued......)
