When Cao Zhiqiang suddenly said that he would give Zhu Lin two choices and let her choose one of them, Zhu Lin was suddenly stunned, because she never expected that the topic would suddenly become like this.

Just when Zhu Lin was stunned, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, think slowly, don't answer me immediately!" But, no matter what you choose, I'm absolutely for you! ”

"Don't wait!" Zhu Lin suddenly straightened up, brushed his sideburns, and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a serious face and said, "I'll choose the first one!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang deliberately frowned: "The first one? Are you sure? ”

"I'm sure!" Zhu Lin nodded solemnly.

"Don't you regret it?" Cao Zhiqiang continued to frown, "It's too late to regret it now!" ”

"No regrets!" Zhu Lin shook his head solemnly, "So, tell me the truth!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang raised his head and sighed: "Why bother, why bother? The more you know the truth, the more unhappy you will be, and you ......"

"Needless to say." Zhu Lin waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "Zhiqiang, I understand what you mean, but I'm not the kind of vulgar woman who knows what to do and what not to do." ”

After a slight pause, Zhu Lin continued: "Actually, I have long been suspicious of the speed of your rise and what you have done, and I have long felt that it is abnormal, but now it seems that there is indeed a hidden secret.

Originally, I wanted to ask you, but I felt embarrassed about my identity.

But now that you're willing to say that, it means that you approve of me.

Whether it's because of the kids or because of something else, I don't think it matters.

The important thing is that I found that only with you can I be truly happy and feel that I have not lived in vain!

At the same time, I am also a patriotic person.

I didn't have a chance before.

Now, if I have the chance, I would certainly be happy to play for my country.

So, Zhiqiang, don't hide it, tell me about your situation.

I promise to keep my mouth shut, to keep it a secret, and to cover for you.

I'm willing to join the organization behind you if the need arises.

In short, not to mention for the country and the people, even for you and the child in my womb, I can't let you take the risk alone. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Lin grabbed one of Cao Zhiqiang's hands, looked at Cao Zhiqiang affectionately and said: "In ancient times, it was said that husbands sing and women follow.

It doesn't matter if I can marry you in this life or not, but I am willing to give everything I have for you and our children! ”

Seeing Zhu Lin like this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Zhu Lin solemnly and held Zhu Lin's hand with his backhand: "You, really decided?" ”

"It's decided!" Zhu Lin nodded.

"No regrets?"

"No regrets!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang closed his eyes again and sighed, as if he was doing the final battle between heaven and man, and it seemed that he was organizing language.

Well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang is acting.

He deliberately threw Zhu Lin two choices for her to choose, but in fact, he forced her to choose the first one.

Without him, just because this is Cao Zhiqiang's deliberate behavior, and he has long understood Zhu Lin's character and knows that she is not the kind of person who is content with the status quo.

As for why he revealed the secret matter of "underground worker" to her and let her get involved, this was of course not a whim, but the result of Cao Zhiqiang's careful consideration.

And the biggest support for this idea is the subsystem of the system - the "Path of Eros" copy!

That's right, if it was before this "Eros" copy was opened, Cao Zhiqiang never thought of revealing his identity as a part-time "secret agent" to the woman next to him, because it was too dangerous.

Originally, the most important thing for people who work underground is to keep it secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Once more people know, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be leaked.

And once the secret is leaked, Cao Zhiqiang may not be able to go abroad for the rest of his life, at least not to go to the Western world, because it is easy to be targeted by intelligence organizations of other countries.

Whether it's the CIA or the KGB, that's no joke.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang flickered out of a "fog" organization, he found that there were many difficulties in the actual operation.

If nothing else, it is very troublesome to quietly consume the funds given by the country and give these funds back to the country.

It stands to reason that since Cao Zhiqiang wants to strengthen the country, it is okay to only give things without money.

But in this way, it is actually easier to arouse domestic vigilance.

After all, if you don't want money, then you must want something else, or there must be something else.

So money, you must ask for it, at most you want a little less, which means that this is to reassure the country.

However, Cao Zhiqiang gave more and more things, more and more advanced, and the price naturally became higher and higher.

And the country is now in ruins, all kinds of lack of money, at this time to ask the state for money, it is really inappropriate.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang later changed to asking the state for treasury bonds, not foreign exchange, and RMB, hoping to turn this part of the funds into sunk costs and try to alleviate the country's worries.

After all, the nature of the country's national bonds is different from that of RMB, and they cannot be directly circulated in China.

Anyway, when the country's economy grows and the economy becomes stronger, this part of the national bonds issued in advance will not put pressure on the country.

But if you keep doing this, you can't do it.

After a long time, sooner or later something will happen.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang urgently needs to have a truly reliable person of his own to help Cao Zhiqiang outside and make the "fog" organization more real.

The reason why he did this was that Cao Zhiqiang wanted to make an insurance for himself.

Although Cao Zhiqiang said that he was patriotic and did have this intention, this does not mean that he really believes in the country and the organization.

The motherland is indeed what he loves, but those big people who control the motherland may not be really reliable.

Once the country's upper-level bigwigs know that the fog is a smoke bomb, and all the cutting-edge technology and cutting-edge equipment are actually from Cao Zhiqiang, then no matter how magical it is, they will definitely control Cao Zhiqiang well and never let him wander around.

To put it bluntly, once those people in the upper echelons of the country know that Cao Zhiqiang has the systematic ability to conjure up all kinds of cutting-edge equipment and technology out of thin air, they will definitely carry out a "protective confinement" on Cao Zhiqiang, and it is even possible to take off to engage in research.

Although in the previous life, China has always behaved very civilized, which is different from that of the United States and Russia, but who dares to bet on this situation?

When encountering such a thing as a system, who can really maintain the bottom line?

Cao Zhiqiang was not sure what would happen to him once he died, anyway, he didn't dare to bet.

And he doesn't want to be restricted in his freedom and become a guinea pig who dedicates his life to the country.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang's patriotism is true, but this patriotism must be built on the basis that the country loves him, protects him, and does not restrict him.

If the state begins to restrict him and threaten him, then he is not a fool and has to run.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang was never a complete patriot, he was just an egoist with a bit of patriotism and national identity.

Whether it is patriotic or national, the premise is that he cannot suffer a big loss.

If the premise of patriotism is to let him suffer a big loss and be a guinea pig, then Cao Zhiqiang will definitely not serve!

Therefore, what Cao Zhiqiang wants to do is to give the state appropriate support and speed up the country's technological progress, but also not let the state suspect him, at least not to directly link those high-tech and cutting-edge equipment with Cao Zhiqiang.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Cao Zhiqiang did not directly hand over the technical data and high-end equipment signed in the system to the state in his own name, but took great pains to fabricate a "mysterious organization", and only positioned himself as an "intermediary broker".

In fact, there are certain risks associated with doing so.

That's the beginning, some things are okay to say.

But if every transaction in the future has to go through Cao Zhiqiang, then sooner or later he will be suspicious.

At least, some people will think, if Cao Zhiqiang is controlled, will he be able to directly get the "fog" line?

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang compares his heart to his heart, if he is a superior person, he will definitely think so.

It's just that now the contact between the two sides has just begun, and the cooperation has just begun, plus Cao Zhiqiang's previous series of "shocking" operations, such as the White Swan bomber full of ammunition and fuel, and the riotous operation that unknowingly spread all over a certain beach in China, shocked many high-level people in China, and only then did they temporarily settle down.

To put it bluntly, that is, at this time, the country is actually more eager for that "fog" organization, so it tries not to seek changes.

But once the country becomes stronger in the future and there are more transactions, it may not have any other ideas.

Therefore, for his own safety, Cao Zhiqiang needs to find some agents, or companions.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang plans to develop a few reliable "own people", and then, if there are related "secret transactions" in the future, he will no longer explicitly come forward by himself, but let his "companions" come forward.

At that time, Cao Zhiqiang can pretend to be a "fog" to notify a certain "companion" of Cao Zhiqiang's development and go to the designated place to pick up the goods.

On the surface, it means that Cao Zhiqiang himself does not know that it is a "fog" organization that directly deals with China through another connector.

The advantage of this is that it can distract risks, divert attention, make the fictitious organization of Misty more vivid, and make Cao Zhiqiang no longer so special and eye-catching.

After all, only one person can be used as an intermediary, and the nature is different from finding a group of people as an intermediary.

As for the development of intermediaries, they need to come forward and know each other......

This is also normal!

Because many secret organizations with single-line contact are to have single-line contact and single-line development.

Cao Zhiqiang, as the earliest intermediary liaison of "Mist", coupled with several successful cooperation before, the two sides must have a certain trust in Cao Zhiqiang.

Then it is normal for the "fog" to let Cao Zhiqiang develop reliable contacts on his own, and then trade with China through those contacts developed by Cao Zhiqiang.

If you don't do that, it's not normal.

The reason is also very simple, that is, if the news is exposed in the future, it will only lose the line of Cao Zhiqiang's development, and will not expose the "fog" itself.

Therefore, if there is really an organization called "Fog", and from the standpoint of "Fog", it is understandable and the safest thing for people to do so.

Of course, "Mist" is a code name in China, after all, when Cao Zhiqiang mentioned that organization to Uncle Xu and Uncle Lin, he never said what the organization was called.

This is also a more reliable detail, that is, the real secret organization will not casually reveal the name of its organization.

If you don't reveal your name, you can maintain a sense of mystery and make the other party unable to figure out your own path.

However, from the previous transactions of "Fog", coupled with Cao Zhiqiang's various invisible hints, combined with the current international situation, in fact, there have been several speculations about the true identity of "Fog" in China.

The biggest speculation is that the "fog" is related to the United States or Europe.

It is very simple to have something to do with the United States, that is, the United States is winning over our country at this time, but it can't go too far on the surface, after all, it has to give an explanation to the country, so it is normal for the lion to open his mouth on the bright side, and secretly support the same as half selling and half giving.

As for Europe, it's about geopolitics.

After all, in today's international situation, the two powers have already competed for hegemony, and the old Europe has long been marginalized.

If someone refuses to give up and wants to create more brilliance, they must muddy the waters.

At present, the best choice is undoubtedly China, one of the five majors.

Although China is very poor now, it is full of heritage.

Whether it is the land area, the total amount of resources, or the number of people, as well as the quality of the population, they are actually very strong.

In particular, although China is poor, it has established a most basic industrial system in the country for various reasons.

You don't care how backward this industrial system is, at least it is, and it's very comprehensive and self-sufficient.

Such a country is the best object of support.

Once China is strong, the world can enter multipolarization, and at that time, European powers can also fish in troubled waters, and maybe have a chance to rise.

However, there are not many European countries that can do this, and even fewer are willing to do it.

All in all, at present, the only ones who can do this are Britain and France, and other countries do not have the strength for the time being.

What? Federal Republic of Germany?

The economy of the Federal Republic of Germany at this time was very good, but the birth defects were there, and there were troops stationed abroad, so it was basically impossible to have that kind of action.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang's previous operation was basically completed well, not only smoothly diverted the attention of the domestic high-level, but also did not make people doubt his actual status in it.

However, although it is safe for the time being, if you don't plan early, and wait until the problem comes to find a solution, it will be too late.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang had long thought about developing a few of his own people and joining the organization of the "mist middleman".

Among them, Xu Chun and An Ping are definitely not good.

Although these two people have a wealth of agent skills and experience, they are not their own people after all, but more like overseers.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang has been guarding against these two people.

In the past, Mr. Cao has struggled with reliable candidates.

After all, what Cao Zhiqiang wants is not an ordinary subordinate, but a "real person" who will never betray and consider him everywhere!

But this kind of "real self" is too hard to find!

After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and no one knows what others think.

It wasn't until the "Eros Copy" was opened that Cao Zhiqiang's "no one can be trusted" trouble came to an abrupt end.
