Chapter 317: I'm going to be a master of wet work
"Civil society is the only way to deal with civil society!"
"But shouldn't civil society organizations be sheltered by official organizations?"
"The officials of the extralegal land can't intervene!"
"Let me guess, your doughnut was stolen?"
"Can it be normal?"
"Normal?"
Shepard picked up the drink and took a long sip of it contentedly, then said.
"We've been normal, it's you, Hudson, you're too nervous, let's relax today!"
Under Shepard's persuasion, Hudson finally let go of his tense nerves and followed him to the Comoros for three days, hunting in the forest, diving in the sea, and fishing, all of which were the projects that Shepard was preparing to promote in the Comoros, and a group of CIA agents enjoyed them in advance.
"Remember to fill out a comment form for us or something!"
After eating and drinking and having fun, Hudson leisurely explained his intention, it was still an inconvenient mission related to the CIA, and the location was not far away, in Mozambique, but there was only one problem, the opponent to face in this mission was a little troublesome.
"For the first time, I knew you had gold mines in Mozambique!"
Unfortunately, Shepard didn't hear the point at all, what he heard was that the CIA's leather bag company was mining local gold and diamond mines in Mozambique, and in doing so, they were getting a lot of money.
"I can't say much about it!"
Hudson scratched his head, as a well-known intelligence agency in the city on a hill, the CIA can be said to be the master of money since its establishment, and at least 10 percent of the congressional appropriations to the Department of Defense are in the hands of the CIA.
These guys who eat imperial food and are reimbursed casually for carriage and horse expenses can be said to be lying in the iron rice bowl to live, as long as you don't have problems, you can live without worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
But it is a bit strange that such an intelligence agency will have an industry controlled by a leather bag company! Because in a way, it's easy to have an accident if you have money and power!
Because power breeds ambition, and money can fulfill ambition, and with the military power of the CIA itself, it can be said that they are even a state within a state.
The consequences of this are severe, and it is not impossible to replace it with an incompetent central government.
Shepard was not so surprised by the CIA's industry, and he was surprised that the CIA's methods of collecting foreign wealth were still somewhat simple compared with later generations.
Because they are actually engaged in business now!
You must know that in later generations, if the CIA has no money, it will rely on money laundering, drug smuggling and other things to obtain funds, compared with gold mines, the former is the real sense of the fast money.
But considering the current background of the times, as well as the war in Afghanistan that has just begun, Shepard is immediately relieved.
After all, the reason why the CIA meddled in drugs was to make trouble for the Soviet Union, which is why they began to support Afghans to grow drugs in exchange for money.
And as an intelligence agency, funding will never be enough! Look at the book
After all, as a global intelligence agency, the CIA has too many enemies to envision, and in order to fight these enemies, it will need countless plans and countless funds to support them, so it is not surprising that the other side is making a lot of extras.
What makes Shepard feel funny is that in fact, their extra money is being targeted by their old rivals, because the Rubyanka's counterparts on the other side of the ocean are also trying to make money!
That's right, the CIA met the KGB in Mozambique, which was also making money, and after the two sides fought, the CIA suffered a big loss, because this matter could not be publicized, and there was no way to retaliate back by any means, so at this moment, I can only hope that a non-governmental organization like Shepard will appear!
It's just that Shepard is not in a hurry to play at first, he is just curious, the CIA does not have enough money to spend, so is the KGB also not enough money to spend?
And the answer is yes!
As the leading bosses of the confrontation between the two sides, the United States and the Soviet Union spent money during the Cold War
The investment is simply terrible, and both sides are engaged in a contest in all fields, whether it is military, science and technology, industry, all aspects are spending money.
Moreover, the intelligence agency is the top priority of the strategic deployment of both sides, and it has also invested a lot of money, not to mention that the KGB was responsible for not only the intelligence front, border security, economic and trade routes, and all kinds of work during the Soviet era, so they are also the same as the CIA, and they have countless plans that need funds to implement anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, they are also lacking, but unlike the CIA, although the KGB also uses glove agents to make money, they are not alone in any department, but all departments cooperate!
In particular, the current Mozambican government has taken a pro-Soviet route, and the CIA's operation in Mozambique has become more and more difficult, especially after the Angolan war fell into decline, and the Mozambican side has been defeated.
A large number of controlled areas were taken back to the state and personnel were expelled, which undoubtedly drew a huge hole in the CIA's shriveled wallet.
Not only can't I make money, but now it's leaking out, who can stand this kind of day?
So, this kind of moment calls for a civil society like Shepard to give a small democratic shock to the locals in Mozambique.
"You're telling me to go over there for a coup d'état?"
Shepard commanded the security guards beside him in a serious manner.
"Let the people with flowers on their shoulders come to me, and we will discuss a battle plan that can kill 10,000 people with 200 people!"
The latter immediately took the order, and Hudson was full of confusion when he saw it.
"No, no, no, not a coup d'état!"
Hudson shook his head, he understands Shepard, this guy really dares to take his men to storm the parliament building in Mozambique, if it is more extreme, this guy even dares to find a way to give the other party's *** a shot.
"We have a few friends in the local area, but it's just ......."
Got it!
Shepard nodded, isn't that still the same old thing, supporting the agent and then doing things, he knows how to do this kind of thing with his eyes closed!
"You mean let's prop up the rebels and then carry out terrorist attacks in Mozambique, looting the property of ordinary people, attacking residential areas to create panic, so as to blow the prestige of the government and the face of the Soviets, right?"
Shepard said with great fluidity.
Hudson's eyes widened, he really hadn't heard much of this kind of thing, and why was Shepard so skilled?"
"Isn't this nonsense, isn't that what you guys do?"
Shepard rolled his eyes, after all, in this world, when it comes to wet and dry work, no one can compare to Hudson and them!
