Chapter 25 The "Dragon Well" Scheme
The day after the death of Jerside Newman and hundreds of federal agents, the city of Gebze, east of Istanbul.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the cafeteria of a hotel, Lance, who was dressed politely and looked like a promising young man, came to Shi Sanwen.
"Can I sit down?" When Lance asked this question, he had already pulled the chair opposite Shi San out...... Obviously, he was also polite.
"You're the little imp named Lance, aren't you?" Shi Sanwen didn't say nonsense like "sit down", but looked at the other party's face as Lance sat down and asked.
"Exactly." Lance sat down in a big way, and crossed Erlang's legs.
"What's the matter?" Shi Sanwen has a basic understanding of the situation of these members of the Reverse Cross, because the boss Tianyi has instructed Shi Sanwen to ask this person...... The organization can not keep any secrets, so if Lao Shi wants to know anything, as long as he asks, Zhang San will answer.
"Let's exchange some information." Lance said.
"What else?" Lao Shi also asked knowingly.
If it's just "exchanging information", you can just call or send a message, and there is no need to send someone to it.
"There are also things that are not convenient to convey through communication devices." Lance replied.
"What's inconvenient? The data traces that may be left by those communications can be erased by Zhang San's help. Shi San asked again.
Unexpectedly, Lance's next sentence was: "You are a person who is ...... Zhang San How much do you know? ”
Hearing this, Shi Sanwen's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?" Do you want to say he's undercover? ”
"I didn't say that." Lance laughed.
Shi San took a sip of the drink on the table, thought for a few seconds, and then said: "I have known Zhang San for some years, and it was Tianyi who introduced him to me at first, if he is an undercover agent, I hope you can tell me clearly." ”
"Zhang San is not an undercover agent." Lance replied, and after a second's pause, he answered, "Zhang San is not Zhang San at all." ”
"Speak human words." Shi Sanwen motioned to the other party to explain clearly.
Lance shrugged and continued, "Zhang San's real name is Ji Qi, he is the only son of Juezun, and it can also be said that the only weakness of this person is Juezun. ”
Shi San asked, thought about it, and read: "I just said why is this kid's name so casual...... However, there are still a few things that cannot be explained......" he questioned again, "even if Zhang San himself is a rebellious period that lasts a little longer and is forced to stay in an organization hostile to his father, his old son ...... It's not the kind of person who will let his weakness be held in the hands of others. He paused, "Take a step back, these two are also father and son anyway, are you really sure he didn't come undercover?" ”
"Sure." Lance replied, "Because Jue Zun doesn't know that Zhang San is Ji Qi, and even Zhang San himself doesn't know that he is Ji Qi." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Sanwen reacted for a few seconds, and then said, "You let the 'Drifter' change his memory?" ”
"It's not 'us', it's Boss Tian." Lance said, "I was a child when this happened, and Zhang San was only a teenager at that time. ”
"......Shh That bad guy ......" Shi Sanwen said thoughtfully.
"I think it's pretty clever." Lance continued, "Most people think about how to 'hide' an important hostage after they have captured it, but that kind of indefinite captivity often only has three outcomes - the hostage escapes, the hostage commits suicide, and the hostage is found and rescued.
"But the way the boss of heaven does it is to 'make the best use of things' and put them on the table as pawns to drive.
"'Zhang San' is indeed a very good chess piece, although the memory has been adjusted, but Zhang San's own intelligence is not affected, even if he does not participate in any combat work, he has made much more contributions to the reverse cross over the years than our juniors."
Shi San asked and snorted coldly: "If the surname is Tian, I'm not afraid that Zhang San will encounter an accident or something one day?" For example, being killed by the people of the Federation, or simply being killed by Juezun's men? ”
"Hahaha......" Lance couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, "If that's the case, I guess Boss Tian will personally run up to Juezun and tell him with a happy face...... 'The one you ordered your subordinates to kill before is actually your son', and then savor Juezun's expression at that moment like a chattering plum." ”
"Looks like you and your boss have some personality similarities." Shi Sanwen looked at Lance with disgust.
"It's over." Lance's sentence came from the bottom of his heart, "The realm of Boss Tian and Mr. Shi is beyond my reach." ”
"It's not something to envy to live like us." Shi Sanwen said with a sideways look.
"I'm not envious, I'm just sincerely admiring." Lance replied.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Shi Sanwen didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he brought the topic back.
Lance nodded and said in a summary tone: "To sum up, I came here this time to tell you this information about Zhang San in person, and I hope you can protect his personal safety in the next few weeks." ”
"He didn't need protection when he was 'Zhang San' for decades, but now he has to protect it......," Shi San asked, "So...... Something will happen in the next few weeks. ”
Lance said in a relaxed tone, "Did you read this morning's newspaper?" ”
"I don't watch the news." Shi San asked back.
Lance took out a piece of the day's morning newspaper from his arms, and slapped the front page headline up on the table in front of Shi Sanwen.
Shi Sanwen just glanced at it, and saw a large, majestic propaganda photo of the Federal Army, and the big line of the headline - The war on terror may be won by the end of this month.
"Where's the slot?" Anti-terrorism'? Shi San asked.
"The slot is in the ......," Lance replied, "and they're making press releases like this while they're withdrawing their troops from the front." ”
Shi Sanwen did not ask where the information about the "withdrawal" came from, but immediately made a guess: "What are you doing?" Are they going to use nuclear weapons? ”
"That's the worst-case scenario, but it's not impossible." Lance replied, "Judging from the information we have so far, it is likely that a batch of 30,000-pound super-large aerial explosive bombs will be dropped on the rebels' occupied areas and some surrounding counties. ”
"Huh?" Shi San asked, "Even if you bomb the occupied area, what about bombing other surrounding cities?" ”
"Hide people's eyes." Lance Road.
"What's the cover-up?" Shi San asked again, "Also, if you do this kind of thing, how can they suppress the ensuing public opinion?" ”
"'The vicious rebel armed forces fired all the weapons of mass destruction in their arsenal indiscriminately in the midst of defeat, resulting in the loss of a large number of front-line soldiers and countless civilian casualties'......" Lance said, gesturing in quotation marks, "...... At this moment, someone from the federal side is already in charge of writing a press release like this; On the day they acted, within 20 minutes of the bombing was over, the reports would be in all the media around the world, and they would be sharply written, well prepared, genuine, and irrefutable......"
"Well......" Shi Sanwen followed Lance's train of thought and muttered, "I see, in this way, even if the rebel organization issues a statement denying it afterwards, the people have already been preconceived by the news released by the Federation that the thieves shouted to catch the thieves, and the losses at the level of public opinion warfare are almost irreparable; In addition, they bombed not only the areas occupied by the rebels, but also their own occupied areas around them, which greatly increased the authenticity of this set of statements. ”
"Whether the rebels will make a statement or not is still unknown." "As far as I know, several organizations have moved their leadership from secret strongholds to occupied territories; On the one hand, they are doing some propaganda and winning more ordinary people to join, and on the other hand, they are also to conduct the command of the war more efficiently. Scold...... Imagine if even the top of the rebels were killed, who else would speak up for them? ”
"Wait." Shi San asked what he thought of at this moment, and asked, "For such a large-scale war and the withdrawal of troops, didn't the rebels get the news?" ”
"What if you get it?" Lance said, "The troops withdrawn by the Federation are only a small number of elites and descendants, and in terms of materials, some important high-end combat weapons have been recovered, and the remaining more than half of the ground troops are still stationed on the front line and have not moved; From the point of view of the rebels, this is a very normal phenomenon - it is a signal that the war has entered a period of stability, and they do not have the intelligence capabilities of ours, how can they know that the Federation is going to carry out such a frenzied bombing. ”
"Heh......" Hearing this, Shi Sanwen also smiled and sneered, "I'll listen...... There seems to be some bad taste on the federal side, too. ”
"Not really." "The reason why this 'war' can last for more than a month is just because 'he' wants to catch more fish and take the bait...... After this battle, the rebels were bound to suffer a great loss of vitality, and the Federation army lost only the most ordinary grassroots soldiers, the real elite forces, and did not suffer any injuries; Relying on the advantage of public opinion warfare, the Federation was able to quickly make up for the lost troops from the conscription, and more than ninety percent of those recruits joined because of the hatred caused by the bombing, and they did not share the sky with the resistance. ”
"What about the attitude of the anti-cross?" Shi San asked, "Could it be that you are planning to watch this happen silently?" ”
"Hehe......" Lance laughed again, "Teacher Shi has played chess, right?" When you play chess, in order to win, you have to make the opponent a few moves ahead or even eat a few pieces. ”
"Understood." Shi Sanwen has already understood the meaning of these words, and there is no need to listen to more specifics, "Anyway, those 'abandoned sons' are not yours, so it is even less distressing." ”
Lance didn't answer this, but changed the conversation and said, "Speaking of chess pieces...... How is Hunter now? ”
Shi Sanwen took another sip of his drink and replied, "It's good, I've eaten and drunk enough, and I've slept in the room for more than ten hours." He paused for half a second, and then said, "Since Newman used his ability on him before he died, he has returned to the state he was in a day ago, and his newly awakened ability is gone; Yesterday I asked him in detail about the process of the battle, and I basically determined that the 'Death Suitability' was already in a state to be activated, so he didn't have to go on a hunger strike anymore, he just needed to wait for the next opportunity to activate. ”
"Oh?" Lance raised an eyebrow, "Isn't he 'very useful' now?" ”
"It's very useful, but it's too stupid, so I'll have to keep coming with me for a while and learn more." Shi San asked, "If he takes it out and 'uses' it now, even if he awakens a super ability, he will also repeat the mistakes of the previous two times, and he can only give full play to his ability and waste his talent." ”
"It's okay, we didn't plan to 'use' him right now, I'm just talking." "Anyway, in the next few weeks, until the end of the Federation's bombing campaign, 'Zhang San' and Hunter will still have to rely on you to take care of you......," Lance said, already standing up and preparing to leave.
"Wait." Shi Sanwen stopped him and asked the question he was most concerned about, "What about my softness?" ”
Langston paused and replied, "Oh...... WELL, DON'T WORRY, ALTHOUGH YESTERDAY'S INCIDENT CAUSED A BIG STIR, CAUSING THE ORIENT EXPRESS TO BE TEMPORARILY BLOCKED AND SUSPENDED AFTER IT ARRIVED IN PARIS, BUT YOUR LITTLE TRAILER AND THE CONTENTS OF THE CAR HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE PARKING COMPARTMENT AND PROPERLY KEPT; Stay here for a few weeks, and when the place is razed to the ground and the traffic blockade and the Orient Express suspension are lifted, you can take a bus to Paris in Istanbul. ”
