Bezos's sudden entry caught Grady a little off guard, but of course, what really surprised him was not the incident itself, but the meaning behind it.

That is:

The organization that originally supported him will officially move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and become a strong competitor to himself.

——

It could also be a political enemy.

This was not planned, because even when he communicated with the other party the night before, the other party only expressed a "dissatisfied but barely acceptable attitude".

It is true that taking it upon himself to kill Bob is not in line with the original arrangement of this organization, but the question is, is it wrong to do so?

Obtain greater rights, strive for greater discourse, and then use this discourse power to seek greater benefits and broader future development.

What's wrong with that?

Doesn't it mean that all members of the organization can participate in the formulation and implementation of the plan, as long as their fundamental interests do not conflict with each other, they can make their own decisions?

So what does that mean now?

Open confrontation, or even abandoning the bottom line that this organization was originally set up for?

Grady's heart was full of anger and puzzlement, but he did not attack on the spot, but insisted on finishing all the work and returning to his residence at 8 o'clock on time, and then called Bezos.

"I'm Grady."

His voice revealed a coldness and indifference, and the other party was no different.

"I'm Bezos. Mr. Grady, is there anything going on? ”

"Bezos, I want to ask you what the hell are you going to do?"

"We've already said that I'll be the front desk of the organization, and you just need to be in charge of the support work!"

"Even if you want to change your plans, you must at least get my consent, and not let me face this huge shock unprepared like now, right?"

"Things in Cuba are unstoppable, are you going to interrupt me at this most critical point in time, and then let all the plans, all the future, fall through?"

Grady was answered only by a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Grady could even hear Bezos' breathing on the other side, but the other party just wouldn't speak.

After a long time, when Grady was almost losing confidence, Bezos finally said:

"It's not actually the same thing, Mr. Grady."

"We're not changing our plans, we're just following the path of the plan — you're actually trying to change the plan, right?"

"Your excuse is good, but we all know that all you want is that position and the power it can bring."

"So, stop trying to deceive us and deceive yourself."

"Admit it, we have broken de facto, and in that case, we are no longer friends, but enemies."

"This is the end of our cooperation."

"Next, you need to be ready."

"You know, in this day and age, the power of the military has shrunk to an extremely small level, and you have to win one victory after another to keep your power."

"And we, on the other hand, have always been invincible."

"I mean, we can fail many times, but you only need to fail once. There is no chance of turning over. ”

"Good luck, Mr. Grady."

The voice fell, accompanied by a snap, and the phone hung up.

“Fuck！”

Grady threw his phone on the floor in a fit of rage, and he wanted to send his elite team to Bezos' house and suffocate him on the couch.

——

But, reason told him he couldn't do that.

Not only because of the various controls in the hands of Bezos and that organization, but even the fact that the two sides were trading behind the scenes was enough to cause him great damage.

You must not push the other party into a corner, because that will attract a more ferocious counterattack.

As a result, a fair duel became the only viable option, and as Bezos said, he had to rely on victory after victory to cement his newly acquired position.

Cuba, where is the real key.

The first wave of the offensive must be victorious, and it must be a major victory that will greatly increase the confidence of the population!

Fortunately, it's not that difficult.

The River Force has been assembled, and while it is unlikely that there will be too many troops in skirmishes, various special operations forces, including the Navy SEALs, have been deployed.

As long as they give the order, they can quickly complete the infiltration, break through the enemy's defenses, and then create conditions for the deployment of follow-up troops.

And as long as the team unfolds quickly

Then the outcome of this war will be completely in your own hands.

As for the opponents?

It is true that they have participated in this confrontation in various forms, but in the end, they are not directly involved.

It is impossible to use all kinds of equipment with symbolic significance, and their strength is far more limited than their own.

So what is there to be afraid of?

That organization, that so-called Scientific Evolution Club. In the end, it's just a springboard for yourself.

Thinking of this, Grady's mood stabilized.

He let out a long sigh and collapsed on the recliner in his study.

At this moment, the young wife knocked on the door of the study, and brought him a cup of freshly brewed hot milk, and while drinking the milk, Grady asked:

"In the newspaper — I mean your job, is there any news?"

This is the "small talk" that must be carried out every day, and it is also the information that he must grasp in order to maintain the character of a good husband in front of the outside world.

"Nothing special, an extraordinary normal day."

"But I got an anecdote about a colleague."

"Just two days ago, he kept telling people around him that he had made a big news, but whenever people asked about him, he was very secretive."

"At first, we thought he had captured the lace news of a big star, but it didn't seem that simple. It's really curious. ”

"Curious? Why? ”

Grady looked at his wife suspiciously, and continued to ask:

"Isn't that a very conventional hype tactic? You're even better at it. ”

"That's not the case."

The wife shook her head, frowned slightly, and said:

"The problem is that he quit-—— he said he had found a higher bidder and wasn't going to give the news to our newspaper."

"It's the first time I've heard of this kind of thing, and now, even our boss is wondering what news he has, and everyone is looking for him, but they can't find anyone."

"You want me to help?"

Grady asked keenly.

"No, you don't."

"I'm just sharing some interesting facts with you, you don't have to be so sensitive."

"In this era, we have countless big news every day, in fact, it is impossible to miss him at all"

"Understood, then let him go."

Grady put down the cup and said to his wife:

"That's it, I have to get to work."

The wife didn't say anything more, but took the cup and exited the room.

Grady didn't really get to work, but closed his eyes and rested on the recliner.

At this time, his state of mind was extremely peaceful, but he didn't know that what he missed was actually a major opportunity

Meanwhile, in an office at the BBC's headquarters in the United Kingdom, two men are engaged in an ordinary, but incomparably significant, negotiation.

Sitting on the sofa is a well-mannered man with glasses, and across from him is Becky, the current chief executive and editor-in-chief of the BBC's Executive Committee.

"So according to your request, we must prepare £7,000,000 in cash within two days in exchange for the specific information you have in your hands?"

"To tell you the truth, this request is very, very exaggerated, and even we have never spent so much money on lead purchases."

"Of course, I don't deny the scarcity and importance of the information you have, but the price is too high I think, we should talk about it again."

The man in glasses shook his head and replied resolutely:

"Mr. Becky, there is no point in such bargaining."

"The value of this news is definitely not as simple as 'news', in fact, if I provide it to other forces, the benefits I can get in exchange will definitely be greater."

"Like the CIA, MI6, 007, etc., etc., but why don't I do that?"

"Of course, it's for my own safety, but also because I don't have a relationship with them."

"So, the price is very fair-—— especially for an event that the whole world is watching, but until now there is no clear conclusion."

Looking at the man's unyielding expression, Becky couldn't help frowning.

However, his frown was not out of dissatisfaction with the man, on the contrary, because what the other party said was too reasonable.

It makes so much sense that even he can't refute it, and he wants to bargain, but he can't find a suitable fulcrum

"Can I think about it a little longer?"

Becky continued.

"I can't think about it anymore, if you don't want to accept it, then I'll take the earliest flight back to Huaxia today and sell the information to the buyers there."

"You know, the price they gave was not at all lower than the price I gave you now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Becky's urge to pull around again was suddenly suppressed, and after thinking for a few seconds, he finally spoke:

"Okay, £7 million, I'll take it."

"I'll transfer the money to your account at the same time as you requested, but at the same time, you'll have to show me at least some of the real stuff first."

"I've been ready for a long time."

The man smiled confidently and pulled out the only piece of paper from his briefcase.

And there was only one picture on that piece of paper.

"Look, this thing is enough to prove the authenticity of the information I have."

Becky took the picture and held it up to his eyes.

It was a satellite photo-—— a photo taken from high altitude, of a gas pipeline.

Photo of the gas pipeline in Ras Larackera!

"The U.S. military may participate in the attack on the Ras Laaquera gas pipeline, and the commander is the current defense minister!"

"The evidence is conclusive! Insiders release evidence, and American thieves shout to catch thieves? ”

"The mysterious organization does not exist at all, and it is a farce directed by the United States?"

"Musk's death may also be related to NASA, what else in the world does the US government dare not do?"

Two days later, the explosive news was released, and the shocking reversal brought by this news can be said to be almost beyond the expectations of every ordinary person in this world.

The "mysterious organization" that used to be active in various forums and tabloids disappeared overnight, and people were surprised to find that this thing was actually a trick of the United States.

For a time, the US military headed by Grady had to bear tremendous pressure from public opinion, and this also forced them to slow down their operations in Cuba.

Nantianmen base, in Chen Nian's office.

Li Xiang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, finally flew over, and the first thing he did when he arrived at the base was to synchronize the latest information about the so-called organization with Chen Nian.

They played really beautifully, and in general, we overestimated them at first, but then we underestimated them."

"This organization does come and go quickly, but the way they quit is planned a long time ago."

"With the help of such a news, we can divert everyone's attention, divert the pressure that is being put on them, and point the finger at the betrayers of the organization. It's really absolutely impossible, even if it's us, we can't continue to pursue them. ”

"It's a near-perfect self-destruct program, you know, the first time I saw the news, I really admired and wanted to laugh"

"That's really smart."

After listening to Li Xiang's description, Chen Nian couldn't help but nod and said.

Three birds with one stone.

The first is to conceptually destroy the entire organization, paving the way for itself to move from behind the scenes to the foreground;

secondly, the traitors who betrayed the organization were ruthlessly placed;

Finally, the current public opinion was used to force the war in Cuba, which was already on the line, to fall back into a freezing period.

Either way, it's in line with the goals that the organization originally set and the benefits they want to reap.

"Yes, very clever."

"I have to say that a businessman who can do this level will not be stupid."

"Of course, it's also good news for us – they surprised us again."

"We have more time to mobilize and build up our defenses, and the outcome of the first large-scale battle is more in our favor."

"It's really important, as long as we can get an advantage in the first wave of battles, all of our plans can be greatly boned."

"Including the Nantianmen project, maybe your pressure will be reduced."

"Indeed."

Hearing his words, Chen Nian nodded slightly.

But then, he said:

"But in fact, it doesn't make much sense to reduce it or not."

"Why? Not going well? ”

Li Xiang asked in surprise.

"No, it went well."

Chen Nian said with a smile:

"Smoothly, the project will end early, and Nantianmen will test fly in advance."

"The word of time. Just a month later. ”
