Chapter 446: Upstream

Two days later, in Monka, inside the office of the Eastern Corps.

Chen Shen was sitting behind the table, and across from him was Jiya, who had just arrived in Mengka from Thailand.

The two were relatively speechless, and after a long time, Chen Shen finally spoke.

And as soon as he spoke, he pointed to the heart of the matter.

"You're not an ordinary journalist."

"Of course, you may indeed be a journalist, but what you do is completely different from that of mainstream media people in the West."

"You're Assange's man."

As the words fell, Ji Ya raised her head suddenly.

Her expression changed suddenly, and Chen Shen even saw a little panic in her eyes.

But Chen Shen didn't give her time to react, but continued:

"You have plenty of intelligence sources, which allows you to get clues about various criminal transactions in the Golden Triangle and Pubei at the earliest time."

"But you're not from the CIA, and you're not part of any of the world's official intelligence services."

"You've got some training—maybe assault training—and that's given you a small amount of intelligence skills, but the way you do your work is too crude."

"Everything you do is to make big news."

"In other words, you are using the information resources in your hands to make huge profits for yourself from another angle."

"Maybe you've tried to make a deal with some official agency, but you've underestimated their determination."

"So, you're forced to run away, you're forced to leave the United States."

"You want to use Pubei to turn the tables, but your experience in an 'orderly society' is completely useless."

"Everything after that, you're being pushed."

"You're lucky that you've accumulated all kinds of information that allows you to make deals with various organizations, especially the King of Thailand."

"He was bluffed by you and gave you a chance."

"And you took advantage of that opportunity very well and ended up with the result you are now."

"Your development path is almost exactly the same as that of Assange."

"He uses technology, you use social work."

"You're in a league with him, or at least, there's a strong connection between you."

"Am I right?"

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Ji Ya's expression became more and more shocked.

She looked straight at Chen Shen, as if she wanted to find a flaw in the other party's face.

But unfortunately, Chen Shen has no flaws.

All this is the result of "reasonable speculation", and all this "reasonable speculation" does not come from those extremely hidden, illusory clues.

It comes from the memories of Chen Shen's previous life, from those things that have happened!

Therefore, even if there is a deviation, it is absolutely impossible to go too far!

At this moment, Ji Ya's psychological defense line was almost shattered.

She originally thought that after she came to Mengka, it would be the beginning of a new life, which meant that she had the upper hand in the confrontation with Chen Shen, but now it seems

His proud hole cards, in Chen Shen's eyes, still seem to be not worth mentioning.

Jiya took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled again.

She regained her composure, looked into Chen Shen's eyes, and said:

"It doesn't matter."

"It doesn't mean anything to you to figure out who I am, but what I have in my hands will definitely interest you."

"And, with this deal, you can trust me completely."

"I can't prove that I'm your friend, but I can certainly prove that I'm an enemy of my enemies."

Hearing this, Chen Shen suddenly wanted to laugh.

Isn't it the enemy of the enemy?

When Ji Ya mentioned the name of Dell Company, Chen Shen had already guessed what was in her hand.

There was no doubt that she was given the documentation for the Prism Project.

Project Prism was first born out of the TSP program launched by George W. Bush to deal with the threat of terrorism, and is operated by the US Security Agency under the code name US-984XN.

This project is not just a simple "social media monitoring program" as the outside world thinks, in fact, it has caused such a big storm because of another branch of the project.

This is the "Upstream" branch in addition to the "Prism" branch.

In this branch, the NSA directly installs beamsplitters on the backbone and core networks of the telecommunications network to replicate the communication content to achieve the effect of true 100% surveillance.

And it is precisely because of this means that they lost the opportunity to block the globalization strategy of RMB.

The impact of Prism Gate is far from being as simple as a simple "crisis of trust", and in a sense, it has even profoundly affected the subsequent world pattern.

The subsequent promotion of oil RMB settlement, the weakening of SWIFT hegemony, as well as the chip war and large-scale sanctions, are all directly or indirectly related to the disclosure of this project.

Therefore, Ji Ya said that she could prove that she was the enemy of the enemy, and Chen Shen did not doubt it at all.

If this thing can be given to Xiaoyu before Snowden is exposed

The benefits are incalculable.

The only thing to consider now is how much real stuff she has in her hands.

According to later investigations, Snowden first came into contact with information about the Prism Project in September 2010 and downloaded it in March 2011.

Theoretically, she wouldn't have too much in her hands, nor would she go too deep.

Otherwise, Snowden would not have handed over such a deadly thing directly to Jiya so easily.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen said decisively:

"I can't talk to you about this deal."

"I have to let"

"I don't trade with the people of the north, and no national power can be trusted."

Hearing Ji Ya's words, Chen Shen was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, no national power can be trusted.

Even in the previous life, Maozi's protection of Snowden was limited, and he even reached some terms of the deal with Lao Mei.

If Jiya really wants to have no worries, her best strategy is to find a third party, and then hide it completely after getting enough benefits.

Chen Shen frowned slightly, and said:

"I don't have any money, and I can't give you what you want."

"You can trade with me, but you have to talk to them first."

As the words fell, Ji Ya's expression became a little hesitant.

After a long time, she finally spoke:

"Okay, I can talk."

"But you have to be there."

"No problem."

Chen Shen nodded decisively, this time, he did not refuse.

Looking at the relieved smile on Ji Ya's face, Chen Shen also sighed slightly in his heart.

He didn't expect that there was such a complicated relationship behind Ji Ya.

——

But in a sense, it may be a necessity.

After all, a "female reporter" who can appear in Pubei, no matter how you think about it, will not be so simple.
