Chapter 56: Man Goes High
The news of Zhao Daizong's serious injury was not blocked.
The next day, the news had already spread in the upper circles of Tong Haixing, although Zhao Zhiru stood up to take over the overall situation from his son as soon as possible, but the fluctuation of people's hearts was inevitable.
Is Zhao Daizong really alive? If he was only seriously injured, how long would it take to recover? And why was he injured? Who injured him? For many years, the Zhao family had perfectly avoided assassination attempts from all sides, so why did there be a major accident this time?
Will there be any change in Tianjing's policy toward Tonghaixing? How long can peace in Tonghai be maintained?
There were too many problems to make the atmosphere of Tonghaixing suddenly become treacherous, and at the same time, the people in Tianjing City were also busy, and the CIA, an intelligence department founded one hundred and fifty years ago, was operating wildly with unprecedented efficiency.
After decades of accumulation in Tonghaixing, in just a few days, one after another suffered serious blows, many high-level agents lost contact, and a whole team of specialized transformers were wiped out...... In the past, it was the seventh CIA bureau, and under the change, it was inevitable to seek stability first and stabilize the situation. On the one hand, he tried his best to preserve the remnants of the starfish and avoid being uprooted, and on the other hand, he also had to give an explanation to his superiors - after such a heavy defeat, which substitutes should be introduced to bear the blame for the director.
But in He Yuanshen's opinion, this is not how things work.
Pursuing prudence now is tantamount to retreating, and withdrawing is tantamount to admitting defeat, and it is tantamount to handing over the results of the previous decades of work to others -- the people of the Sixth Bureau of the CIA have always coveted the operational budget of Tong Haixing, and it is impossible not to take the opportunity not to exert their efforts.
If he He Yuanshen is a famous family, then a failure in an operation is not a big deal. After all, Tonghai has been a country within a country for more than 100 years, and the CIA system is about to become a daily routine in Tonghai. But he was from a civilian background. Then a single failure would be enough to justify the erasure of all his merits, and the director of the Seventh Bureau, who had become famous and glorious, would also become an old cadre that could be seen everywhere in a certain later department.
Of course. Even if it is just Qingshui Yamen, with He Yuanshen's status, he can be regarded as a half-step step into the high-level of the republic, as long as he accumulates another generation of contacts, he can barely be regarded as a noble family, which is tantamount to a feathering ascension for commoners.
But He Yuanshen has no heirs, he doesn't even have a wife or lover, he has put all his life energy into a position of power, and a failure means that his life's struggle has become meaningless, so he must win. You can't lose once.
In order to win, he can bet everything on his hands, and for a person who has no children and grandchildren, thinking about the longer future is just a joke.
――
The home star of China, Tianjing City.
The CIA's office building is located in a mediocre old-fashioned neighborhood in Shangcheng District, a small five-story building, which houses most of the intelligence personnel in the Huaxia Republic who are concerned with Haixing's affairs.
In the south-facing office on the top floor of the small building, a man with gray hair. The medium-sized official sat behind the desk, calmly picked up a small kettle next to him, made two cups of flower tea in a delicate porcelain cup, and placed one in front of him. A cup is pushed across the table.
A young hand took the porcelain cup, brought it to his mouth, and drank the hot tea. Then he shook his head a little funny: "Lao He, this is the candied tea you gave me? Is there 200 yuan per catty? I go to the street snack bar to ask for a cup of coarse tea, which is better than your rotten tea residue." ”
He Yuanshen snorted: "The Seventh Bureau doesn't have an extra budget to buy tea. If you want to drink good tea, go to another department. ”
The young man on the other side of the class table shrugged: "I just came over from the sixth inning." People invited me to drink rare and good tea, which I can't buy with money, and it's a shame to work under you. ”
He Yuanshen smiled: "There is money in the sixth bureau, but the people in the sixth bureau can only promise you money, do you care about money?"
"Hahahaha, that's great, if I wanted money, I would have gone to the director of the Sixth Bureau a long time ago, why bother to work for you as a madman...... Lao He, seriously, about the starfish, there is no problem with the conditions you said before, right?"
He Yuanshen said: "As long as you can help me open up the situation in Tonghai, rare elements, I will give you ten tons." You just pick up the goods, and I'll take care of the rest...... Thanks to the credit, I can take these questions down. ”
"He Yuanshen, you are really a madman......"
He Yuanshen smiled: "Crazy, I'm just a gambler. You're crazy, but you're a four-star soldier and you're a temporary agent for the CIA, and you're taking no less political risk than I do. ”
The young man laughed: "There's no way, in this world now, people who don't go crazy can't even eat." I have been in the Sixth Army for three years, and the allocated materials are only enough to maintain daily maintenance, and there is no way to go further. The people above said that I was not qualified enough, and there was little hope of continuing to break through, so there was no need to waste more resources...... Fuck it! The qualifications of that little rabbit cub of the Hong family are obviously not as good as mine, but the evaluation is super grade every year! The resources are tilted like a robbery, he hasn't even arrived at three stars, and the rare elements allocated are about to catch up with me, and a grandfather who has been president is really special...... As for me, if I don't come out to do odd jobs, I can really only be a useless destroyer in this life, I'm not reconciled, Lao He, it's rare to have the qualifications to become a super soldier, but I can't climb to see the farthest scenery, I'm really unwilling. ”
He Yuanshen said: "I'm not reconciled, since I became a public servant, I have always felt unwilling, so I have to gamble again and again...... Unwilling to be the source of human progress, good luck, Xiao Yueming. ”
"I borrowed your auspicious words, I hope that the fat of Tong Haixing is enough for the two of us to eat...... There are not many opportunities for the common people to get to the top. ”
After speaking, Xiao Yueming directly picked up the hot water kettle on the table and drank the boiling water.
――
At the same time, Zhao Zhiru, who was far away in Tonghaixing, gently hung up the old-fashioned phone on the table.
"The person who came was Xiao Yueming. ”
On the other side of the table, Wang Ye and Sun Yi were both shocked, and at the same time put down the deep-sea green tea worth 10,000 gold in their hands.
Sun Yi frowned: "That four-star soldier of the Sixth Army?"
Wang Ye sneered: "That pauper destroyer of the Sixth Army?"
Sun Yi said: "Even if he is a poor person, he is still a four-star super soldier, even if he lands on the surface of the planet, the energy of suppressing the fire by the suppressor in the core of the earth does not exceed the three-star, and it is not comparable to the ordinary three-star." He Yuanshen was able to invite such a master, it was indeed a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry. However, with the background of the Zhao family, there should be no need to be afraid of a four-star warrior......"
Zhao Zhiru shook his head: "If it is only the strength on the surface, the Zhao family will naturally not be afraid of a four-star warrior." But I'm only worried that this time He Yuanshen sent Xiao Yueming to come secretly, and it will be difficult for Zhao Jiaming's power to target him. ”
Wang Ye added: "That's right, Lao Zhao, since you can find out that the person who came is Xiao Yueming, you might as well check his current organizational relationship, I guess he should no longer be in the Sixth Army, but transferred to the Seventh Bureau as an agent......"
Sun Yi was surprised: "It's not so easy for a super soldier to turn into an agent, right?"
Wang Ye said: "If He Yuanshen is really so addicted to gambling, he will do whatever it takes to turn this relationship down." And if a poor destroyer like Xiao Yueming wants to go further, he is likely to grit his teeth and take the risk and bet with He Yuanshen, after all, it means very important to them to turn their identity into an agent. Otherwise, Xiao Yueming would have to descend to Tonghai in a dignified manner, but his four-star strength did not have any advantage in Tonghaixing. Not to mention anything else, he can't handle the half-step five-star Zhao Dongyang. Therefore, Xiao Yueming must act in the shadows as an agent, once he hides behind the scenes, there are too many things that a super soldier with agent-level authority and the director of the Seventh Bureau behind him can do. ”
Zhao Zhiru frowned, pondered for a long time, and asked, "Specifically...... For example, if you were Xiao Yueming, what would you do?"
"Targeted killing, let go of the killing, start with the shady part of the Zhao family. Those underworld forces that have been bought by you bear the brunt, first the **** leaders, then corrupt officials, and then some gray forces that wander on the edge of black and white, such as the reformers and mercenaries you secretly support, all the forces used to maintain the rule of the Zhao family, but they can't see the light, all of them will be killed. Anyway, I have agent clearance, and I can find any reason to legitimize my actions. Even if I kill a river of blood, after all, I am all black, and you can't stop me with the reason and power on the table. In this way, the grassroots power of the Zhao family to rule Tonghaixing will collapse at an alarming speed, and the confidence of the upper echelons will also be shaken. And once people are impetuous, you will show more flaws, and I will have more opportunities to act. ”
Wang Ye said lightly, but it made Zhao Zhiru's face more and more gloomy.
"Of course, so, Lao Zhao, let's prepare for the dead. ”
