Chapter 947: Catherine's Forces
And Mata Harry's bad luck happened to be this target.
So when Lin Xiao saw Catherine, although he was a little surprised, he was not particularly surprised, after all, these intelligence dealers, especially female intelligence dealers, did have a great advantage in some aspects.
"How did you get back?" Catherine looked at Lin Xiao with a curious expression, "I asked the waiter, you went straight back to the hotel from the Turkish bath in two minutes, what is the reason for this?" ”
When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
He didn't notice this, but he didn't expect Catherine to be haunted by him, and even bought the waiter at the hotel to follow him heavily.
If it weren't for that, Catherine wouldn't have known when he was going back to the hotel.
"You're stalking me?" Lin Xiao's face was not very good-looking.
"Recently, there has not been a lot of peace near Ankara, and I am also concerned about your safety." Catherine saw Lin Xiao's unhappy face and hurriedly explained to him.
Lin Xiao's face looked a little better, but he was still a little unhappy.
When Catherine saw it, she couldn't help but regret it a little, and said that she was fine, so why bother to provoke Lin Xiao? It didn't matter if it took him twenty minutes or two minutes to get back to the hotel, it didn't matter to him at all.
As long as Lin Xiao is willing to take care of her in the super battery project at that time, she will achieve Catherine's expected goal, why make Lin Xiao unhappy because of such a little thing?
If he suddenly refuses to cooperate with him anymore, it will really be more than worth the loss.
I have to say that curiosity kills the cat, this is what she did just now, even if she knows that Lin Xiao has some secrets, there is no need to tell Lin Xiao at all, just bury it in her heart, as a memory, why bother, why bother?
If it was really because of this incident that she lost the super battery project, then she was wronged.
"It seems that you, an intelligence dealer, are not fighting alone, but you can't also operate as an enterprise?" Lin Xiao wasn't actually very angry, after all, he knew his own situation, and it was impossible for Catherine to find any substantive problems at all.
At least at this stage, no one or any equipment could observe Lin Xiao in the flying state of Edgeworth, so he was very relieved about it.
That is, a true immortal-level master like the big lynx will see Lin Xiao's existence at a glance, but a master like the big lynx, looking at the world, is now just one of them, as for the second true immortal-level master, where is it, maybe it's still there.
"Of course, the privatization of intelligence organizations is also a major development direction of the current society, and our intelligence organization is also a product of the emergence of the times." Speaking of this, Catherine did not hide it at all, "In fact, we also serve the British and the Americans and even the French, as long as the other party gives money, we can help them with a certain task." ”
"You mean that other countries will also hire you to do some intelligence work?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he felt a little surprised.
"The U.S. has long hired a large number of private spies to carry out covert operations overseas, and former CIA agent Claridge alone hired 200 agents in Afghanistan and Pakistan to hand over information gathered about the Taliban and its leaders to the U.S. director of national intelligence." Catherine said disapprovingly to Lin Xiao, "Because of the inefficiency of the national intelligence services, Washington often takes similar measures. ”
When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
According to Catherine, two decades ago, Claridge left the CIA on his own initiative for personal reasons, and he was involved in organizing the procurement of weapons in Iran, which were then passed on to Nicaraguan rebel militants.
After the incident, Claridge gave false testimony at congressional hearings, was held legally responsible, and began to engage in private reconnaissance after receiving a presidential pardon.
Now sitting in his home in San Diego, he creates his own "private CIA" by commanding a team of about 200 operatives active in Afghanistan and Pakistan through electronic communications devices.
"In fact, outsourcing some of the functions of the intelligence agencies to the private sector is not an American invention, and the British did similar work during World War II." Catherine saw that Lin Xiao was more interested in this, so she revealed some information to him, "At that time, Churchill ordered the establishment of the British Security Coordination Bureau in the United States, headquartered in Manhattan, New York, under the charge of Canadian businessman Stevenson, and the number of agents was as high as 3,000 at one time, mainly responsible for preventing attacks on convoys transporting weapons and other supplies to Britain by sea, stopping Nazi propaganda, and urging the United States to enter the war as soon as possible. (//)。 ”
"It's unthinkable in our country." Lin Xiao listened to it and said with a little emotion.
Catherine said that now that private spies are being used more widely not only in the United States but also in other countries, some emergency intelligence must not only be accurate, but also appeal to the tastes of the leaders, Catherine said.
In addition, it is more economical to hire a private intelligence company than to support an intelligence officer.
"We're more fair in our money, but we're more efficient than others, so we're still very popular." Catherine said proudly.
"So, how many staff members do you employ in this intelligence organization?" Lin Xiao asked a little curiously.
"There are twenty core intelligence officers, fifty people at the next level, and one hundred and ten people on the periphery." Catherine replied, "If you can hand over the Super Battery to me to operate, the size of this team can be expanded a little more." ”
"There are so many people...... Lin Xiao was taken aback when he heard this, obviously he never thought that Catherine, a private intelligence organization, could have such a large scale.
