Chapter 555: The Loser [2]
As Amp was about to ascend the gangway, a Navy Sergeant confronted him and several other intelligence officers and read the Order of Expulsion from the Federation, telling them that from this moment on, they were not allowed to board Union soil, otherwise the Union soldiers had the right to kill them directly.
In fact, this is just a passing scene, with such a large territory and relatively few border soldiers, with the Empire's ability to cheat, trying to send an expelled person into the Federation is as simple as breathing. After the reading, Amp was allowed to board the ship and leave.
Some time after the warship left the federal military port, a blonde-haired diplomat walked into the rest chamber, and he looked at the newly released Imperial intelligence officers with a blank expression, and his feelings were a little complicated.
This time, in order to exchange for these "heroes", the empire exchanged a group of captured federal spies as bargaining chips, which in itself is a very dangerous thing. From the day an intelligence officer begins to learn how to be a qualified intelligence officer, they have a lot of skills, and some even have very special talents. In the course of their interrogation, these people have had many rare opportunities to receive information that is not available through regular means. In fact, on the other hand, it means that they have heard a lot of information from being interrogated, and once they return to the Federation, they will expose the appearance and accent of the intelligence officer who captured them and the intelligence stronghold in the first place.
This is a serious threat to the internal security personnel within the Empire, but the General Intelligence Directorate and the Cabinet have determined this matter, and there is no room for redemption, and it is only hoped that these exchanged intelligence officers can provide the same amount of information, so that some valuable information can be used to avoid a disaster for the intelligence personnel within the Federation who have not yet been captured.
"It is my great honor to bring you home on behalf of the Imperial Family and the Cabinet, and to say sorry for the torture and pain you have endured during this time. The scarred intelligence officers around him straightened their backs and looked at him, wanting to see if this guy could say something different.
In addition to having enough talent and learning ability, people who can become intelligence officers also need to be smart enough, which is something that several people here have, so they are a little more realistic than they appear, especially after suffering inhumane torture. Their personal information has now been known to the intelligence services of the entire Federation, which means that the rest of their lives will be goodbye to the past, but not necessarily the future.
If it is better, they may turn into internal agents, but because their appearance will become a repeated memory for every federal intelligence agent who infiltrates the empire, the front-line internal staff will definitely not be able to do it, and can only do auxiliary work, such as interrogation and the like.
If the empire didn't plan to put them in the back office, they would be placed to work as workers in a factory, or as an inconspicuous clerk in a company, and then struggle for life and family like many ordinary people. All the past glories and experiences are like an illusory journey, and they can't tell anyone about it, and they can't let anyone know what they've done before.
"You will have plenty of time to recuperate in the next period of time, the Empire will arrange the best doctors to do the best for your health, we will go home, everything will not have to worry!", the diplomat nodded, turned to leave, but an intelligence officer stopped him.
"Your Excellency Diplomat, you haven't said how the Imperial side intends to arrange our work and life for the rest of our lives, this is very important to us!", the guy who spoke was covered in bandages, and even one eyeball was missing, and during the interrogation, the Federation people pierced his eye with a steel drill. In order to avoid dying early due to infection, they also did eye removal surgery for him very thoughtfully, and the wound was cleaned so that he would not die too soon.
The diplomat paused, turned to look at him, pursed his lips and said, "This is not my responsibility, but please rest assured, the future life will not be a burden to you!"
The guy who had lost an eyeball suddenly stood up, and if he hadn't been holding on to the back of the chair in front of him, he might have fallen. It was then that Amp noticed that the part of his left leg below the knee was gone, and that it had also been sawn off alive during interrogation.
He was a little emotional, his only remaining eyes were red, and he waved his arms and said loudly, "You want to eliminate us? This is not fair, Your Excellency, we have paid so much for the empire, we should not be abandoned? Even if I am allowed to be an instructor, you should know that I have not said a word of truth!"
The diplomat pinched his waist and shook his head, "Sir, you may not understand that we have not abandoned anyone. It's just that your current situation is not suitable for high-intensity work, so we have arranged a job as a teacher in your hometown secondary school according to your strengths. Wouldn't it be great that you could teach groups of great people and have a peaceful life?"
In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Intelligence Directorate did not consider the exchange of prisoners at all, so the arrangement for these people naturally did not exist. The General Intelligence Directorate, for its part, considered a number of issues before making a final decision to "retire" them. It's not a good decision to make, at least not the worst option.
But this one-eyed "hero" doesn't think so, he wants to be closer to His Excellency the Diplomat, who, by the way, is actually an intelligence officer, but his rank is higher and his role is more special, so he is given this special status as a diplomat, giving him diplomatic immunity.
"It's not fair, we have paid so much for the country, you are not qualified to ......"
Before he could finish his words, the diplomat's expression changed slightly, and he interrupted him with a cold face, "Please pay attention to your previous identity, sir." I call you heroes, not because you are heroes, but because you are losers and prisoners compared to other colleagues who are still searching for important information within the Federation. We can't tell if you've been Federally paid to be a double agent, so that's the best thing to do for you. If you do it again, you know what you're going to face!"
The one-eyed gentleman was immediately stunned, and the excited expression on his face became stiff and unnatural, and he also realized the identity of this diplomat and his colleague, otherwise he would not know so much. Instead of flowers and compliments, all captured intelligence agents who have been captured will be greeted by a counterintelligence program when they return to the Empire. In the next three months, there will be an unknown number of interrogation experts who will interrogate him without interruption.
The results of these interrogations are eventually brought together to determine whether the intelligence agent has defected. If in doubt, or if you are unsure, then deal with it as an apostate, and as for the end, it is better to die in the Federation. Even if all the interrogation results are unanimously positive, there is a high probability that he will return to society and become one of the many people.
For these intelligence officers who did not let go on the surface or really did not let go after the fall, everyone admires and respects them very much, but they want to be reappointed?
That can't be, because this particular profession doesn't need losers!
Even in the many departments of the General Intelligence Directorate, there is a special organization that monitors these "former spies" who have returned to ordinary life, in case something happens to them. As long as they are sure that these people may do something dangerous to the Empire, they have the right to immediately kill these former spies who know a lot of the inside information, with verbal approval from higher-ups.
Mr. One Eye's silence softened the diplomat's face a lot, and he said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about your future life, after you go back this time, you will all be treated as normal retirement, and the pension will not be less, and there will be additional benefits." Just as if it's a nightmare, and yours wake up!", he said, shaking his head and leaving the rest chamber, leaving only the limp intelligence officers.
The oppressive atmosphere lasted until they returned to the Empire, and they were slightly relieved when they stepped on the land of the Empire. It was Anna who came to pick up Amp, and because Amp's identity and work did not involve intelligence work, he was the only exception in the group.
As he sat in the car, Amp's gaze stayed on the men until the car was far away, and he couldn't see them, then he withdrew his gaze. sighed silently, maybe this is the fate that cannot be changed, and the hateful joke of the goddess of fate, right?
How sad and ridiculous is it that he gave the most precious youth to the empire first, went to the most dangerous places to do the most important work, and was rescued for whatever reason, and then failed to gain the trust of the empire?
Anna could feel that Ampe's mood was very low, and the other half of the cold mask was a face without the slightest expression, "You pity them?", Amp nodded, Anna snorted lightly, and looked out of the car, "Actually, they have received a lot of tolerance and understanding, so they are the luckiest ones." A qualified intelligence officer can only return to the land of the Empire when he has reaped the honor, and it would be a shame to interrupt the mission for any other reason and return here!"
"For the sake of your identity, the Empire has arranged at least thirty people to make your identity a little more fleshed out. As for them, there will be more manpower and material resources to cover up their identities for them, and in the process, some people will even take the initiative to expose and lure the enemy's suspicious eyes away from them, protect them by sacrificing themselves, and provide them with the greatest protection and help to complete their tasks. ”
"But they failed, they should die outside, not come back!"
