Chapter 0759 - Breaking the News
Walking out of the secret prison of the Tuji National Security Committee in Ankara and looking back at this heavily guarded but filthy place, Michelle could only look up and sigh.
After graduating with honors in college, Xiao Yangniu successfully entered the Pentagon for an internship under the shadow of her family. She was adventurous, passionate, worked very hard and quickly landed a position as a senior employee.
During the training, Michelle was told that she would face a lot of shady and hidden secrets in the future, and that the way to get promoted was to keep it a secret. But she always thought that what she had to face must be the ugly dark curtain and evil hidden secrets of the enemy.
I didn't expect to be the first to learn that it was my own.
"What the hell."
Back at the embassy in Ankara, Michelle reported to her superiors. But even the top brass of the CIA expressed helplessness about this, they can't do anything to the chicken, and they can write things into the daily briefing and submit it to the White House.
As for whether the report was thrown into a shredder or stuffed into an evolutionary septic tank, only God knows - how much does a global empire have to manage in a day? Each one looked extremely urgent.
Michelle stayed in the embassy late at night, and before she was ready to rest, the operator suddenly transferred a phone call to her and informed her that someone wanted to break the news about the local chicken executives secretly smuggling prohibited goods to the black market.
The phone was a hoarse voice, unable to distinguish between men and women, and when I heard it, I used a voice changer to cover it up. The other party opened his mouth and told Michelle about her recent trip to prison, wanting to reveal more inside information.
"The security services intercepted the smuggled 'scrap' tank engines, but some senior officials found out that it was a way to make money and took it into their own hands.
The remaining more than five hundred engines that were intercepted were not returned to the ordnance warehouse, but continued to be sent to Boryspil. The deal was completed before the smuggling case could be fully investigated. ”
The whistleblower gave a dramatic inside story - the local chicken security department felt that it was better for others to make money than themselves, so it not only confiscated the five million dollars that the smugglers had made before, but also did the follow-up business.
Ha......, Michelle couldn't laugh or cry about it, but she had to admit that it was a good idea. It's a big deal to put the blame on the heads of the dozen or so unlucky eggs, and the scapegoats are all ready-made.
But this revelation is not big enough, and it is just more than 2,200 'scraps' that have been stored in warehouses for ten years. How can official smuggling be called smuggling? This thing is not on the table at all.
Michelle said that she had written it down, and the two sides kept in touch, hoping that the whistleblower would provide more and more accurate information.
"Isn't that enough?" The whistleblower gave a series of names and positions of high-ranking officials involved in the smuggling on the phone. Judging from the content, this person knows quite a lot.
"Not enough." Michelle, out of the instinct of an intelligence officer, felt that she could squeeze more information, "If you really want to get rid of a few high-ranking people, you need to expose more and more serious problems." ”
With a heavy breath, the whistleblower said after a moment, "Well, you'll get more information." ”
The phone hung up, and Michelle went to sleep. She now understands that the world is now seeking peace, and that the biggest news headline is the giant octopus in the Sea of Marmara, which recently reappeared, blocking the shipping lanes.
A week later, the whistleblower really called Michelle as promised, "I have conclusive information that TUSAS is smuggling the AIM-120 'Amram' missile guide head and engine. ”
TUSAS is the abbreviation of Tuji Aerospace Industry Corporation, and it is also an aircraft factory built with the help of the United States, and the "Amram" missile is the latest medium-range missile of the United States.
Michelle, of course, took this matter seriously, and hurriedly asked for details.
The whistleblower claimed that in order to make money, some high-ranking officials of the local chicken had removed advanced missiles from their weapons and equipment in the name of training and consumption, and then shipped them to Boryspil on the other side of the Black Sea to sell them for money.
One sold for two million dollars, and it made a fortune.
"It's a smuggling black hole, and as defenders of freedom and democracy, you must plug it." The whistleblower was extremely excited on the phone, and he even gave the smuggling route and the person who handled it.
Michelle felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly contacted her superiors to try to intervene in the investigation in the name of NATO. But the superior came back with a word,
"How do you check the ammunition consumed by training? Unless you can find direct witness evidence in Boryspil, a rash investigation will only ruin relations between allies. ”
is also said that Michelle is hit again, and her heart hates it even more. She continued to appease the whistleblower and tried to establish a direct connection with the other party, such as meeting in person or something.
But......
"Isn't your CIA the most powerful intelligence agency in the world? Why not get your hands dirty? It was such a disappointment to me. The other party said that he would continue to give a deeper insider, and then hung up the phone angrily.
Unable to do anything about it, Michelle turned to her colleagues in Kyiv for help on the current black market at the airport.
"Black market? It's about to become an open market. ”
Intelligence officers at the embassy said that tensions in Kyiv had gradually subsided recently, and that "Boryspil has openly advertised in newspapers and television, and its wholesale business of civilian goods has become bigger and bigger."
This market is being transformed to separate prohibited goods from civilian goods. The merchants of the entire Ermao family found that the market was well managed, the buying and selling was fair, the prices were low, the law and order were stable, and the transportation was particularly convenient.
They even sent flyers to our embassy to openly welcome harmless business. The embassy staff actually went and bought back a lot of pirated games, books and videotapes at very cheap prices.
As for the sale of prohibited goods, the transaction is on a membership basis, and only those who have passed strict scrutiny can make transactions. In order to protect the safety of their customers, they have also launched a consignment purchase service, which allows even illegal art to be bought and sold.
By the way, their underground bank has launched a money laundering business. Although the fees are high, they do bypass regulation. For partners, 'Holy Light' even provides free financial value-added services, which are also very popular. ”
Kiev intelligence officers described the development of Boryspil as 'magical'. The previous time the public intellectuals had Americans as their backers, they failed to get rid of this black market, but instead made a big advertisement for it.
"Now we really can't do anything about it, because this black market is thinking about paying taxes to Kyiv. There is a public discussion on television about allowing it to be legalized.
Because in the early days of this market, the tax amount alone can exceed two or three hundred million dollars per month, which is enough to feed the civil servants of Kyiv. Not to mention that it also brought a large number of production orders and cheap goods to Ermao. ”
Michelle didn't expect that she had only been away from Kyiv for half a month, and that there had changed so dramatically. The opponent's power penetrates into every corner of society, and it is impossible to do any follow-up investigation.
A few more days later, the whistleblower in Ankara called again, in an eager and low tone, "There is absolutely shocking news, but for my safety, I can't tell you the news channel." ”
Michelle had heard enough 'shocks' recently, she was almost numb, and only asked lazily, "Say, I'm recording." I hope it's really shocking. ”
"TUSAS sold an F-16C fighter for money." Said the whistleblower.
"What?" Michelle exclaimed, "A whole fighter? This is a grave betrayal of the United States. ”
"yes, yes, you guys look into it. I have solid proof. Investigate quickly, investigate quickly, and immediately arrest those corrupt officials. ”
