Langley, Virginia.

Since yesterday morning, Wesley and thousands of intelligence analysts under his command have been mobilized. After a busy day and night, Wesley finally figured out the situation and wrote a briefing. As soon as he lay on the sofa, his eyes closed, the phone on the table rang.

Wesley was reporting to the director throughout the morning.

"On the afternoon of local time, the Indian troops deployed in the northwest border area entered combat readiness and began to move towards the frontier offensive positions. The Indian troops located in Assam, Nagaland and Meghalaya also entered combat readiness this morning local time."

"The terrorist attacks in New Delhi are related to China?"

"No, no." Wesley glanced at the documents placed in front of him, "This is just a necessary precaution. This morning local time, the Pakistani army entered combat readiness, and several field troops even left the camp and began to assemble to the border defense."

"Pakistan?" Jonathan pushed the glasses on his nose. "Is this a necessary precaution?"

Wesley nodded and said nothing nonsense.

Wesley looked down on the director in front of him more or less.

Like previous CIA directors, Jonathan was not an "intelligentist" but a politician.

Politicians care about the value of intelligence and the benefits brought by this, while intelligence personnel pay more attention to the accuracy and timeliness of intelligence.

Five years ago, Jonathan's shortsightedness and utilitarianism caused Cia to suffer the worst failure ever.

The first place to discover the "mysterious items" was a wildlife expedition team that studied the migration route of wildebeests. Extraordinary radiation interfered with the tracking device installed on the wildebeests, causing the expedition team to accidentally discover the "mysterious items". If they had acted decisively at that time, Marines stationed in Djibouti occupied the river valley area, they would not have encountered any trouble behind them. Jonathan was not only hesitant, but also made a mistake in decision-making. He sent a mercenary controlled by CIA to hire him. After the matter was a big deal, Jonathan was panicked again and again and again. He mobilized the military forces of the Pacific Command and the Central Command with the presidential order. As a result, armed conflicts broke out with China and Russia. There was also a military friction with North Korea in the Sea of ​​Japan.

For this reason, Jonathan submitted his resignation to the president afterwards.

Even if it is not for personal gain, Wesley hopes that the president can approve Jonathan's resignation application. It is just that the entire operation is secretly disclosed. All relevant files are locked in the top-secret database. Jonathan not only saved his job, but even did not receive a warning.

Wesley didn't want to challenge Jonathan. He just felt that the world's largest intelligence agency needed a better leader.

"As you say, India is now targeting Pakistan?" Jonathan broke the silence. There was still not much confidence in his words. It seemed that the crushing defeat five years ago had caused him to lose confidence and fighting spirit. "Do you think India will declare war on Pakistan because of this?"

"India is definitely suspicious of Pakistan, just like the terrorist attack at the Taj Hotel. It's just..." Wesley shrugged his shoulders, "India's military mobilization can also be regarded as a preventive measure, and it is also warning Pakistan to prevent Pakistan from taking this opportunity to create more serious problems."

"Do you think the Humayun's tomb bombing is related to Pakistan?"

"Motivation." Wesley said it very briefly. "If so, what is Pakistan's motive? Go to war with India and fight the Fourth India-Pakistan War? India and Pakistan are both nuclear countries, with hundreds of atomic bombs. When the war breaks out, what benefits can Pakistan get? Pakistan's national strength is far inferior to India, with domestic conflicts and political situations unstable. Will Pakistan provoke India at this time?"

"Yes, you're right. Maybe we should pay more attention to China."

"China? It's impossible, and China has no reason to create the Humayun's tomb explosion."

"I mean, we should pay attention to China's attitude."

"You mean..." Wesley hesitated for a moment, "Will China fulfill its promise and declare war on India?"

Jonathan nodded and said, "China's national strength is above India and also masters the world's most cutting-edge new energy and new power technologies. They will first apply the new technology to the military. If China participates in the war, India's situation will be very dangerous, otherwise it will not strengthen prevention in the eastern region."

"But, China has no reason to fight a war with India. China's military reform has just begun, and it will take at least five to ten years to transform technology into results. After the war with India, China's commercial shipping in the Indian Ocean will be hit hard, and 60% of its foreign trade will be affected. China's ability to endure decades is mainly because there is no fleet that can carry out combat missions in the Indian Ocean and defeat the Indian Navy. China's first aircraft carrier is still under construction, and it will take another two years to complete, and then three years to form combat effectiveness. Before that, China had no reason to incite Pakistan to drag itself into the quagmire of war."

After speaking in one breath, Wesley picked up the water cup on the table and took several sips.

Jonathan was silent again.

When putting down the water cup, Wesley noticed Jonathan's expression change. Intuition told him that Jonathan did not tell what he knew and kept a lot of things hidden from the Deputy Director of Intelligence.

"You're right, China has no reason to fan the flames." Jonathan rubbed his forehead. "So, how likely is India to go to war with Pakistan?"

"As long as the conflict does not intensify and a major country mediates from it, giving both sides a step, the possibility is almost zero."

Jonathan's eyebrows trembled slightly, revealing his thoughts.

Wesley believed even more that Jonathan must be doing something shameful and did not tell anyone else.

Perhaps, only Jonathan knows the truth in the game.

No. Jonathan is just a "watchdog" sent by the president. If you want to mobilize Cia's resources, Jonathan must get support from Cia's internal staff and a senior executive.

Wesley immediately thought of Roger Pamer, deputy director in charge of operations.

In the entire CIA, Pamer's status is second only to Jonathan, above Wesley, and has the information of all field agents and intelligence personnel, and controls all foreign-related operations personnel. No matter what Jonathan wants to do, as long as he needs CIA's resources, he must obtain Pamer's support.

Haven't they given up on the action they did five years ago?

Wesley felt it was a bit incredible. No matter how powerful the field staff was, they were inseparable from intelligence support. Jonathan and Pamer were able to bypass the deputy director of intelligence to deploy operations, indicating that there must be someone under Wesley's men "rebel".

At this time, the phone rang on the desk.

"Yes, I'm Jonathan..." After a while of silence, Jonathan covered the microphone with his hands and said to Wesley, "Let's stop here today. I'll see a detailed report before getting off work."

"No problem, I'll send someone to send it at half past five."

When leaving the director's office, Wesley heard a sentence. His voice was low and vague. Wesley only heard "Sherley". This is the code name of a senior spy, which first appeared in the operation file five years ago. Why did Jonathan mention this code name? Was he still investigating the whereabouts of the "mysterious items" under the order of the president?

On the way back to the office, Wesley slowed down.

As expected, Pamer hurried out from the office of the deputy director of operations and walked quickly towards the direction of the director's office.

There is no doubt that Jonathan and Pamel had an "aggressive relationship".

"Close the door." Jonathan said, pulling out an audio jammer from the drawer.

"Your room is checked every day, and there is no eavesdropping device."

"It's better to be careful." Jonathan turned on the audio jammer. "Sit down, what's the point?"

"The 'package' has been sent out, and the Indian intelligence agency is following the clues we arranged, and there will be results within ten days." After saying that, Pamer took out a cigarette and trembled slightly when he lit the cigarette. "But, 'Sherry' has lost contact with us."

"When did you send someone to search?"

"This morning, the search has been arranged, and no news has been received." After taking two sips, Pamer clamped the cigarette between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand. "Without 'Sherry', the next stage of action will be difficult to carry out."

"Three days left." Jonathan stood up and walked back and forth a few times, "Is it time to re-deploy now?"

"There is no problem in time, just the focus of the plan is on 'Sherry'. If it is redeployed, the action plan must be adjusted."

"Make the situation worse and make a real fake."

"A real fake show!" Pamer immediately showed a look of surprise. "This involves the heads of other governments. If it is done too much, we cannot bear this responsibility."

"Requires presidential authorization?"

"It must be authorized by the president, otherwise the resources will not be mobilized."

Jonathan nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "I will convince the president to obtain authorization. You first formulate an action plan, deploy action personnel, and also dispatch forces to strive to find "Sherley". If there is no result within two days, act according to the newly formulated plan."

"This requires Wesley's support, but he doesn't know about this operation."

"Can't tell him." Jonathan immediately shook his hand. "Wesley would not agree to do this. He is a stubborn and rigid intelligence analyst and would not understand the significance of our actions. According to the previous methods, arrange other actions and try to obtain intelligence resources. Remember, we must not let Wesley know about our actions."

"I will do my best to answer you tomorrow."

After Pamel left, Jonathan sat down.

After pondering for a while, he picked up the phone microphone on his desk, hesitated for a moment, and then put down the phone microphone again.

What really worried him was not Wesley, but whether the president would allow the scale of his actions to be expanded. It was too early to wait until the raw rice was cooked, and the president would be unable to let him go.
