Chapter 659: The Victim Is in Good Condition (Part I)
Gotham, a morning that is still neither warm nor bright, the coffee machine makes a "goo-goo-goo" sound, holds the cup in one hand, puts it under the coffee machine, and waits for the steaming coffee liquid to flow into the cup, Schiller holds the coffee cup, sits on his chair, and breathes a sigh.
......The bell on the table next to the door was ringing, and the doorman put the newspaper on the table and left, just as Schiller stood up to get the newspaper, his female colleague Anna hurried in with her bag.
"Oh, you're back from vacation?" Anna looked Schiller up and down and said, "You seem to be in a much better state of mind, and holidays make you younger, right?" ”
"It should be said that life outside of Gotham makes people younger, and it is always good to spend more time in the sun." Schiller took the newspaper, sat back down, opened it, and read it with relish.
Anna put her bag down, picked up another newspaper, flipped through it with a frown, and said, "The recent headlines, it's either Moscow or Mexico, hell, no one talks about something more down-to-earth?" ”
Before Schiller could answer, Anna said to herself: "Our CIA is really stupid, we have to do it on the day he takes office, it's okay, they deserve it." ”
Anna threw the newspaper on the table angrily and said, "Don't think I don't know, there were agents who tried to infiltrate Gotham University and install cameras, what did they think of the school?" ”
"You think it was the CIA's hand?"
"Or else?" Anna turned to Schiller and asked, "Do you believe that his competitors are the ones who did it?" I think it's all the CIA throwing dirty water, how can those people be so stupid? ”
"I think it's really possible that some other Soviet leader did it." Victor walked in, put aside his briefcase and umbrella, picked up a newspaper too, stood in front of the coffee machine, and waited for the coffee to be made, he glanced at the front page and said:
"Well, there's nothing new, the two of them framed each other, and a bunch of current affairs and political commentators quarreled, didn't they have any insightful speeches?"
"Do you think it's their infighting? However, even if it is really infighting, it must be indispensable to the shadow of the CIA, who are the best at doing such stupid things. Anna took control of her chair and spun back and began to write about the eucalyptus.
"You seem to have a problem with the CIA?" Schiller asked.
"Of course, they came before you even came, and guess how their plan to install a camera failed?" Anna asked, without looking up.
"How did it fail?" Victor sat down in his seat with his coffee and asked with some curiosity.
"The cameras they have are not waterproof."
"Ahem!" Victor almost choked on coffee and said in surprise: "What do they think, don't they know Gotham......"
"That's why I said that they must have done it, and they didn't have a time when they weren't stupid." Anna pouted.
"I think that their cameras are not waterproof, most likely because of a lack of funds, as for why the funds are insufficient...... Schiller shook his head and did not continue, Anna added: "...... It's nothing more than the difference between stupidity and greed. ”
Schiller closed the newspaper, put it aside, drank the coffee in his hand, and began his day's work.
When the window opened, a gust of wind blew in, blowing the corners of the newspaper, and the front page of the first newspaper on it read, "Assassination for hire?" We will never admit such shameless slander! ”
However, this is not that if you do not admit it, you will not be suspicious, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union is dead, and he was shot and assassinated on the day of his election victory, so who is the most suspicious?
It can't be Poland, right?
At this point in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, all the people in the world who can watch the news know that the two of them do not deal with each other, so who else could have done it if the leader of one of them was assassinated at this time?
In this era, in order to prove that they are the strongest, both sides refuse to bow their heads, not only to save face, but also to save face, and the assassination of the leader is obviously very face-saving, and will be regarded as another way to show weakness.
It's like two top students competing for academic performance, and one of them slams his fist first, isn't this equivalent to admitting to the world, and I am engaged in such inferior means because my grades can't compare to him?
The current US government still wants to be embarrassed, or in other words, the blow of public opinion can still hurt their muscles and bones, so they denied it at the first time, and then began to investigate internally, who did it.
That's right, the Congress also feels that it should be their people's hands, after all, apart from them, no one has such a big hatred of the Soviet Union.
The assassination at the inauguration ceremony is more like a demonstration and revenge than really trying to kill this person, and the person who did it must have an enmity with him, but there are too many people who have an enmity with the leaders of the Soviet Union, and they can circle the world in line, and the United States is indeed the only one who has the ability to succeed in assassination.
Of course, their first subject was the killer in the black and yellow uniform.
Death Knell is a real-name Internet in the mercenary circle, and it didn't take much effort for them to find the information of this mercenary named Death Knell.
And not only did they find it, but the KGB also found it, and this time, the KGB has the most powerful evidence, Death Knell is an American, and his profession is a mercenary, isn't this exactly the Americanism? And you said it wasn't your hands?
Congress did not admit to the death of the outside world, and put pressure on the CIA internally, so that they could quickly find out who did it, but the CIA was also very innocent, before, Congress told them to throw all their efforts into the affairs of Mexico, absolutely not to be distracted, they did so, and as a result, this kind of thing happened, and it was still themselves who were unlucky.
The CIA checked and investigated, and finally came to a conclusion that the person may have been hired by us, but it is impossible to find out who hired it.
In other words, it's not that they can't find out, but they don't dare to investigate, if you want to say that everyone has suspicions, but the CIA can't touch Capitol Hill and shake out everyone's old bottoms, right?
Although the officials did not admit it, because they really could not produce evidence of the Soviet Union's infighting, their rebuttals were not so reliable, and although they also found some countries to show their support, as long as they heard about it, they basically felt that the United States did it.
The reaction in the Soviet Union was even more intense, and it was still the same sentence, even if the Cold War had come to an end, the two countries still had to face each other, and if the United States wanted to flip the table first, then don't blame us for being polite, on the night of this incident, the Kremlin sounded the emergency alarm.
The Soviet side said that it would take a series of countermeasures, including preheating nuclear bomb silos, and was not afraid to start a hot war at any time.
The measures have always been swift, the attitude has always been tough, and the emaciated camels are bigger than the horses, and even if the upper echelons are all bought, they will at least have to behave under the anger of the masses.
But the US government is also very angry about this, they spent a lot of money to support their own people in Moscow, but after the accident, you didn't hurry up to help persuade peace, and you still behaved so tough? Didn't my previous money go for nothing?
However, the two-faced faction who was caught in the middle was also very aggrieved, and if he wanted to keep his position under the ass, he must conform to public opinion, and he was very radical, and if he expressed his views and mud, he might be seized by political opponents and attacked and ousted.
If you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be like, but if you want to pretend to be like, you must show a tough attitude, the style of the Soviet Union has always been like this, whoever kneels first, doesn't he write the words "I am a traitor" on his face? No one wants to be the first to be the first to do so.
What's even more of a headache for the CIA is that the most shameless person they have spent a lot of money to support all the way is the one who was killed.
Most of the rest are still in the swing, wanting to get benefits at both ends, which is usually good, but at a critical moment, the CIA found that this group of people was not able to be used at all, and a large amount of money was smashed down, feeding a group of white-eyed wolves.
As a result, the CIA began to reflect on whether the strategy of infiltrating the Soviet Union from within was wrong. And the people who proposed and took charge of this plan were also rebuked.
After proposing this plan, they spent a lot of time, energy and money to impress those wall grass, but now that something happened, that group of people either looked like they "had to add money", or they simply turned their faces and didn't recognize people.
Whether they pretend to be high-profile and want more, or think that the United States, which can do such a thing, is too stupid to rely on, in short, there is a very big rift between the CIA and this group of wall grass.
In fact, they should have understood long ago that unreliable people are always unreliable, and those who can be bought by them can naturally be bought by others, even if they are not bought by others, when it comes to an emergency, their first reaction is definitely not to work hard, but to sit on the ground and start the price.
Knowing that this group of people was unreliable, the CIA began to find a way to clarify by itself, but they had no evidence, and they didn't figure out whether it was their own hands, and even the vast majority of people were biased, that is, their own hands, and now they just wanted to get rid of this pot quickly.
In the CIA Met's residence, Kayla sat in a chair and sighed deeply, her two dark circles showed that she probably hadn't rested at all in the past few days.
Kayla took a sip of water and said in a hoarse voice, "What does that say?" Do you want to continue to look for evidence? ”
The subordinate sighed and said: "Yes, the order has never changed, it is to prove as soon as possible that it was not our ......"
"I remember, you also came out of the police academy before." Kayla looked at the subordinate and said, "You should have been taught in school that if you want to analyze whether a person has a motive to commit crimes, you need to look at his relationship with the victim, and analyze whether it is necessary for him to kill the victim from the analysis of behavior and psychology." ”
"Now, the Soviet Union is the victim, we are the suspects, and if we want to prove that we have no motive to do it, then we have to prove that we don't have to kill the victim."
"Do we need it, then?" The subordinate asked.
"From the point of view of the public, of course we need to, because the two of us are mortal enemies, ordinary people don't think so much, they only feel that if a person dies, it must be his biggest enemy who did it, and we are the biggest enemy of the Soviet Union." Kayla put her glass down and pursed her lips.
"But......" said the subordinate in a low voice, "Didn't you say it before?" This new man wants to promote democracy, which is in our favor, so why should we kill him? ”
"You can put it more bluntly, he was bought by us, so the question is, how are we going to explain this?" Kayla stood up, walked over to the whiteboard, and said as she drawn:
"If we want to argue that we don't have to kill him, we have to announce to everyone that he is our man, so that we can come to the conclusion that 'we don't need to kill our own people.'"
"Announce to the whole world that the supreme leader of the USSR is our people......" Kayla said, pursing her lips, "It's like cutting an artery to stop the bleeding from a wound." ”
"This kind of thing can be done, but it can't be said." Kayla shook her head and said, "Even if we really win, we can't say it, we can only say that it is their theory that is untenable and has led to irreparable tragedy, so that we can prove that we are right." ”
The subordinate also sighed and said, "Now the whole system is self-checking, just to find out who is the person who did it?" ”
In a place where her subordinates couldn't see, Kayla turned back and showed a complicated expression, she said, "yes, who the hell is he?" ”
