Will there be spies within the national security services?

It is almost impossible to have it, because the special audit and control mechanism of this department determines that once the door is entered, the practitioner will not have the opportunity to defect.

However, can there be complete ideological unity within national security?

Obviously-—— it is impossible to do this within any organization.

This is why, in a country's "counter-espionage" department, Lin Chen, an outlier, was born.

Yes, he is the organizer of this gathering, and he is also the contact person of the mysterious organization in the Huaxia branch.

He is going to launch an investigation into Xinghuo, not only with the help of his own identity, but also to mobilize all the resources he can mobilize to the greatest extent to complete this matter as quickly as possible.

He doesn't think he's a traitor, let alone a traitor, and he doesn't even think he's a "betrayal".

He just did something out of the ordinary outside of the rules and framework of the organization.

However, one's own purpose is good, and one's own thoughts are also good.

Maybe it's too radical.

Lin Chen sighed, he picked up the work card on the table, and couldn't help but think of what his superior had said to him.

"Lin Chen, you were born to be the material for this industry."

"You are smart, cautious, perceptive, determined, and never doubt what you believe in, and you can complete every task with more than 200 percent of the required accomplishment."

"You are the perfect talent we need, if nothing else, on the day you die, you are likely to be buried in Babao Mountain and covered with the national flag."

"But I have to tell you one thing, you're not really perfect."

"You're too stubborn, too persistent, and if you can't accomplish what you want to do, you're desperate to go crazy."

"This is your biggest point of instability, and it is the reason why we are slow to make a conclusion about you."

"As your superior, as your master, I want to give you a word of advice."

"When it's time to give up, you have to give up. The success of our work does not have to be judged by the achievement of goals. ”

"At some point, it's more right and harder to choose than to stick to it, you know?"

In the past few years, the words of my superiors have been recalled in my ears again and again, and every time I encounter a necessary choice, I will subconsciously consider whether I should really give up.

There are many times when I do choose to give up, but. I am really unwilling.

Obviously, there are many chances that you can catch them all.

Obviously, there are many chances, and Huaxia can close the opponent to a dead end.

There is only one thing policymakers at the top need to do, and that is to let go of the overly conservative and unrealistic "stable development" strategy and take a big gamble, but in the end, no one chooses to do so.

In the original Pickering incident, everyone had already ridden on our heads, and his willingness as a front-line operation group to gather enough intelligence, get enough clues, and even formulate several sets of strategies for the aftermath, but in the end, his plane disappeared into the sky.

——

Not shot down, just let him fly back.

Yes, it didn't land, but so what?

We are ready for everything, the Stuxnet virus has been widely distributed in many industrial fields, and our comrades have even sacrificed one of them for it.

That's the perfect time, isn't it?

If you miss it, you won't get a second chance.

Lin Chen would not blame his superiors, because he knew that people who stood in higher places had higher considerations, and they had to be responsible for the overall situation in the country and even for the whole world.

Therefore, a certain degree of compromise is actually necessary.

But the question is, who do we really need to compromise with? Do they really dare to fight us to the end?

Lin Chen didn't believe in this at all, and he also knew that many high-level executives didn't believe in this either.

Lin Chen felt that this was a kind of role-playing inertia.

——

We played the little white rabbit for too long, and suddenly took off the rabbit skin and put on the tiger skin, but we still haven't been able to regain the ferocity of being a tiger, and even try to use the power of the tiger skin to reason with other animals and politely set rules for them.

What's the use?

If you don't scratch them or bite them, they will always feel that you still have a rabbit in your tiger skin.

So, when he entered the investigation team of the Lasracqueira and Musk incident and obtained information about that organization, the first thing he did was not to try to do his job and uproot that organization as he had done before, but to do everything he could, use all his authority, and establish contact with one of the peripheral members of that organization.

I have to say, it's not easy.

This group is one of the most vigilant and cautious organizations he has ever dealt with, they do not accept any personnel who "come to the door on their own", and the core members are like shadows that never appear in front of the stage.

However, Lin Chen did offer a condition that they couldn't refuse—a condition that they had to accept even if they thought they were undercover.

That is, threatening the lives of the two arrested people to ask for dialogue.

By the end of the conversation, he had managed to gain the trust of the group and learn about their next course of action.

This is actually a great achievement, but also a difficult choice to make.

Because now, if Lin Chen reports the situation of the organization to his superiors, then he is a lone hero who goes deep behind enemy lines.

He may be punished for violating the case procedures, but it is nothing compared to the rewards he may receive.

——

However, Lin Chen didn't plan to do this.

He wanted to take a gamble.

He wants to use this organization to put Huaxia in the fast lane completely.

It is not only the fast lane of scientific and technological development, but also the fast lane of international domination.

So, and so it happened.

He felt that hope was close at hand, and as long as he finished doing this, his mission had been accomplished.

This point seems to have a little in common with the concept of this organization.

They don't care about their "name behind them", they just want to do the right thing.

Lin Chen sighed, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

At the same time, Cheng Fei's interior, the intelligence department of the Spark team.

Li Xiang sat in the middle of the conference room, and the screen showed a picture of a villa taken from an ultra-long distance.

Everyone in the conference room looked serious, and they couldn't take their eyes off the screen, listening to Li Xiang's briefing.

So, that's the basic information at the moment."

"We can already establish that Lin Chen has established contact with what we call the '003 organization', but his actions have not been approved by the state security department, nor have they been reported to the authorities in a timely manner."

"That said, unfortunately, we have to prepare for the worst."

"That is, Lin Chen has defected and defected to Organization 003."

"This may not be defined as a mutiny."

In the conference room, someone interrupted Li Xiang's words, and then continued:

"Judging from the situation we have now, Lin Chen is more like he has a problem in his thinking, and he can't even say that there is a problem, it should be said that he is guilty of arrogance."

"Of course, I don't say this to cover him up, let alone cover up the mistakes he made."

"I just want to say that we have to get the qualitative work done well before the action begins."

"Otherwise, if there is a problem with the direction, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble to the subsequent execution of our tasks."

Hearing his words, Li Xiang nodded solemnly.

"That's right, that's one of the key issues we're going to consider."

"We have to make it clear whether Lin Chen wants to defect or simply want to use Organization 003."

"If it's the former, then we don't need to make any extra considerations, we must cut off the possible information chain as quickly as possible, and take him down first."

"If it's the latter, we'll need more sophisticated planning, and we can even use him to reach the heart of Organization 003."

"The good news is that from the beginning of the establishment of the Spark to the present, our intelligence department has gradually decoupled from national security, and after 2008, the Spark Intelligence Service has become completely independent."

"So, our 'core' is still safe-—— unless it's in this office, there's nails."

Li Xiang's words revealed a hint of coldness, after 10 years of intelligence work, his personality may not have changed, but the way of doing things has matured a lot.

If Chen Nian was sitting in the office at this time, he would probably feel a little strange to him-—— but it was obvious that he had indeed become the core of the intelligence department.

After hearing his words, the reaction of everyone in the office was not doubt, panic, but relief.

Because they're more focused on the first half of the sentence: the core is secure.

If this is not a problem, it is enough.

"We won't have nails here, but not necessarily on the periphery, the Spark's stall is a little too big, this is inevitable, but we will tighten the confidentiality measures in the next time, re-conduct trace screening, and ensure that the core is re-sealed."

"That's another topic—now let's continue to talk about Lin Chen's side."

"I have a question, how did he get in touch with Project 003?"

"It's complicated."

Li Xiang sighed slightly and explained:

"Lin Chen was involved in the Austronesian incident, and established the intelligence relationship of the Austrand during that time, and many of them were not completely controlled."

At the same time, Lin Chen also participated in the intelligence work related to the new alliance in North America, and was responsible for the information transmission mission with the LMS.

"And it just so happened that an informant in the South Island was involved in a peripheral work in Paul and Jace's 'Cashing Operation', and he provided Lin Chen with the information of a fourth-level liaison."

"Through this fourth-level liaison, Lin Chen contacted the third-level liaison of the activity in North America, and with the help of the new North American alliance as a springboard, he got in touch with the real members of the organization, which is what we call second-level members."

"This is basically the whole picture of this incident, so to speak, it is made up of all kinds of coincidences, accidents."

"But at the same time, this incident also illustrates the fact that the plate of Organization 003 is bigger than we imagined, and even our 'cooperation' with the new alliance in North America can go so smoothly, there is a shadow of them secretly promoting"

After Li Xiang's words were finished, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but fall silent.

This feeling is so bad that as one of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the country, it has not been able to prevent the infiltration of a "civil organization force".

It is true that the infiltration of the other party has limitations, but for the Spark team, even this level of negligence is difficult to tolerate.

After being quiet for half a minute, Li Xiang felt that everyone had reflected enough, and finally continued to speak:

"Back to the mission itself, now, we need to arrange the next specific things."

"First, we need to output a possible roadmap of the actions of Organization 003 and lay out some defenses on their course of action."

"Second, we need to take the strictest measures to ensure the security of the core, and from now on, the security measures will be upgraded to level 1."

"Third, we need someone to take the initiative to contact Lin Chen, figure out his status, and determine the next steps of action."

"The first two things are not difficult, the focus is on the third, who will do it? Do you have a candidate? ”

"I'll go."

As soon as Li Xiang's words fell, someone in the conference room raised their hands.

"I have a personal relationship with Lin Chen, and our views on the South Island issue were relatively close before, so he still trusts me, so you can try it."

"Then you go."

Li Xiang finalized the candidate, and then, after a series of complex details were discussed, a large net against Lin Chen and the so-called No. 003 organization finally gradually took shape.

The meeting lasted for 6 hours before it ended, and after the meeting, the first person Li Xiang went to meet was Chen Nian.

"You've got to leave Chengdu recently."

Li Xiang said straight to the point.

"Is the problem so serious?"

Chen Nian's brows furrowed, and he asked subconsciously.

"It's hard for me to explain to you that in theory, the security problems you face are not big."

"But I have a very bad feeling that this so-called organization has something that we don't know."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to do so many things that only a national force can do."

"You see, Lin Chen is a typical example, I wonder, is it possible that the core of this organization is composed of 'radicals' like Lin Chen in the political and intelligence circles of various countries?"

"It sounds outrageous, but it's probably the most plausible explanation."

"In this era, technology has developed so fast, many things have been distorted, and we are now facing a completely deformed international order, and it is not surprising that something is born in such an order."

"Anyway, you go out and hide first."

"Because if I'm unfortunate enough to guess correctly, the problem we're facing is not that simple."

"War."

Chen Nian said in a low voice.

"That's right, war."

"And it's a hot war."
