"Any news?" Lao Hou asked.

"Nope."

"Okay, I see." The phone hung up, and Lao Hou frowned and fell into deep thought.

There is nothing in intelligence, there is no action on the US side, everything is safe, but Lao Hou reads all kinds of campaign news every day, and always feels that Faisal and Wang Zhen are dying.

Especially when Khatib Hafez is on his side, there are people from the DPP who go to give propaganda speeches......

The ghost knows what agreement Wang Zhen and Hadib Hafez reached, obviously it was a lively fight before, but suddenly it changed.

It's not that no one of the other parties wants to learn from the DPP and go to the Three Cities of Ramadi to propagandize, but none of them have the permission of Khatib Hafez.

That's pretty obvious.

With the support of Khatib Hafez, Faisal's DPP will win the votes of the population of two provinces at once, and it will become the biggest winner of this parliamentary election!

Suddenly, a super dark horse!

It has suppressed all the old forces in Iraq, whether it is the opposition party or the ruling party, and has become the biggest one!

It would be strange if it wasn't hit by everyone.

Moreover, in this campaign speech, the Democratic Peace Party said that "Iraqis govern Iraq", which did not say a word of anti-US and anti-Iran, but the meaning was clear.

The problem is that the DPP has risen so quickly that neither the Americans nor the Iranians have had time to put sand into it......

In particular, the sudden agreement with Khatib Hafez exceeded everyone's expectations.

A super dark horse that is not liked by everyone and is not controlled by anyone, it would be weird if he was not hit by everyone!

USA: How do I feel that he is controlled by some red force?

……

"How did the DPP still get involved with Khatib Hafez's gang?" Bevin asked in a whisper.

"I don't know, but I know he had to do it, Fack, fucking it!" John scolded quietly.

While talking, the two of them didn't stop, pushed open the door and walked into a conference room.

There were already several people waiting for the two of them in the conference room.

Entering the door, John first nodded to Julien Greno, and then looked at the chubby man sitting in the main seat, "Hello, Director Pompeo." ”

Julien Greinau, the former head of the CIA Iraq, John's immediate boss, and now the head of the CIA Middle East.

Mike Pompeo, the new U.S. Secretary of State, the new director of the CIA.

In November 2016, President-elect Don Sr. nominated Mike Pompeo as CIA director.

On January 23, 2017, the U.S. Senate voted 66 to 32 to approve Mike Pompeo as CIA director.

That is, Pompeo is now the boss of Julien Greno and John's boss.

"Hello, John." Mike Pompeo smiled and nodded.

John walked over to his seat, pulled out his chair and sat down, his gaze sweeping over the others.

In addition to the old acquaintance Bevin and the ambassador to Iraq, there was also a slightly thin middle-aged man with a blank face.

His name is Bartholomy Cross, the Intelligence Research Agency, engaged in foreign intelligence activities, and is affiliated with the U.S. Department of State, headed by the U.S. Secretary of State.

Mike Pompeo looked at his watch, the time was almost up, and he coughed lightly and said: "This election of Iraqi congressmen is very important, Mr. President is very concerned, we have invested astronomical amounts of money in Iraq in the past, and Mr. President cannot tell the American people that we have lost control of Iraq, so I am here." ”

"Tell me about the current situation."

As Mike Pompeo spoke, Bartholomy Cross of the Intelligence and Research Agency kept his eyes on John.

John didn't seem to notice, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and he remained calm.

The ambassador's gaze swept over the faces of John and Bevan, and he coughed lightly and said: "The situation is not very optimistic, the three major alliances of the old forces and the Yefaction are currently very strong, while the internal division of the Kurds is relatively serious, and there is no unified party to participate in the election, although there are quite a few people, the Sunfaction itself accounts for only 40% of the population in Iraq, and it is still relatively divided and cannot form a joint force." ”

Mike Pompeo flipped through the report, and when the ambassador finished speaking, he looked up at the crowd, "Is there anything else you would like to add?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"I am not satisfied with the results of your previous work, I cannot hand over such a report to Mr. President, let alone to Congress, you must know what the consequences will be." Mike Pompeo said with a calm face.

Seeing that no one spoke, Mike Pompeo tapped his finger on the report, "Let's talk about this new rising Democratic Peace Party, I saw that the report says that they are the most vocal and Inferior at the moment, and their leaders have developed with our support." ”

"So...... Mike Pompeo, looking at the ambassador to Iraq, "do we have enough influence over the DPP?" ”

He is not a golden retriever Don, he was elected to Congress in 2010, and he is a veteran politician, so his style is not so rough, and he does not mention Old Tang's murderous strategy before he comes up.

The ambassador to Iraq just wants to scold his mother at the moment, fuck, he only has a special three-month protection for Faisal's support from beginning to end, you let me maintain my influence on Faisal now, I will influence your aunt!

Of course, he can't say this, he can't tell lies, otherwise what if Pompeo asks him to influence the strategy of the Democratic Peace Party?

looked at John and coughed lightly, "The influence is very small, this is a dark horse, three or four months ago, they were still a local party, and the population that could influence was only about 100,000 people, and no one paid attention to them." ”

Pompeo didn't speak, and Bartholomy Cross next to him suddenly said: "According to the results of the investigation on my side, why is this not the case?" ”

I saw Bartholomy Cross open the document in his hand, looked at it, and then looked up at John, "I got the information that the leader of the Democratic Peace Party is certainly Faisal, but behind Faisal there is a Chinese standing behind Faisal, who is the head of the party, and this head behind the scenes is named Wang Zhen. ”

The name Wang Zhen seemed to have some kind of magic, making the air in the conference room seem to freeze.

In this room, only Pompeo and Bartholomy Cross have not taken Wang Zhen's money!

This is the power of fun!

"This also explains the drastic shift in the way the DPP acts."

"And the report in my hand shows that this Chinese named Wang Zhen has a close relationship with Mr. John."

"Bang!" John slapped the table with a slap and glared at Bartholomy Cross, "Do you know what you're talking about, you're slandering a CIA staffer, what proof do you have for that!" ”

"I don't know any Wang Zhen at all!"

"Yes, as the head of Iraq in the CIA, didn't Mr. John's have received information about him? If that is the case, we have to question the ability of Mr. John and the CIA Iraq to do their job. Bartholomy Cross said with a sneer.

Although we are all intelligence organizations, we are not friends because of the different departments we belong to.

"Ahem, Director Pompeo, it's not their turn to take care of the CIA's affairs." Julien Grino said with a smile that it was impossible for him to remain indifferent to the attacks on his subordinates.

Those of them who are engaged in intelligence will only work in this department for the rest of their lives, and their personal feelings are very important.

And most importantly, this sentence, Director!

Pompeo's visit to Iraq this time is not only for the election of Iraqi parliamentarians, but also for the suppression of the powers below after the previous CIA director.

The new official took office with three fires, one of which burned to the Middle East branch.

"Of course, Grino, you don't mind, everyone is here for work, in order to better complete their respective tasks." Pompeo said with a smile.

"I know Wang Zhen, and I have paid attention to the information about him, but that is work, I personally don't know him, let alone see him!" John said categorically.

This affirmative tone, everyone here almost believed it!

"Hehe, this Mr. Wang Zhen is a very capable person, and the Hadisee military base was built by the Huaxia company he found under his matchmaking." Bartholomy Cross said in a strange way: "Oh, it seems that there is more than that, there are also pipeline works, river dredging works, tsk, tsk. ”

"The military's projects are all in a reasonable and legal way to solve the problem in the best way, and if there is any objection, please ask Mr. Pompeo to raise it in Congress." Bewen didn't give any face, and directly pushed back.

The military has its own system, and it has always had a bad relationship with Congress......

Congress wants to cut military spending!

In addition, the relationship between the golden retriever and the military is also relatively bad...... It is really ...... that he did not start a foreign war during his tenure of office, and he always withdrew his troops from overseas It's so hateful!

As Don's secretary of state, Pompeo's political philosophy can be imagined.

"I think General Bevin has misunderstood." Pompeo looked at John, and the meaning was self-explanatory.

Bevin also glanced at John, there is only so much that my brother can support, you take care!

John gritted his teeth, eager to kill Pompeo in one bite.

Here we have to mention the US Cabinet.

The vice president, the secretary of state, the secretaries, and the director of the CIA are all members of the Cabinet, nominated by the president himself, and then voted on by Congress.

The president has the power to appoint and dismiss.

They don't need to have any prior work experience at all!

After all, even presidents and governors don't have any political experience.

And in the ministries, the actual helmsman is the deputy position, and these deputy positions are the ones who have been working in this position.

First of all, the purpose of this political structure is to check and balance, but it is inevitable that the newly appointed parachuted officials will inevitably clash with a few deputies if they want to actually take power rather than be puppets.

After all, rights are a man's aphrodisiac, and no one will willingly give up the right to get it! (End of chapter)
