Come.

…

The whole world knows that the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong is indeed the largest intelligence collection center of the United States in the Asia-Pacific.

Since the early 20th century, Hong Kong Island has been the "Far East Intelligence Center" of the United Kingdom. During the Cold War, it was also known as the "Three Major Secret Service Centers" together with Berlin, Germany, and Istanbul, Turkey.

After the end of the Cold War, Lisbon in Portugal and Casablanca in Morocco replaced the latter two, but the status of Hong Kong Island remained unchanged.

The number of employees at the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong is said to be in the thousands, some to be in the thousands, and some to be in the tens of thousands. It is estimated that only the CIA knows the true number, but what is certain is that it is certainly higher than the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.

More employees.

If it were just for the daily business of the consulate, it would naturally not require so many people, so everyone knows what these people do.

Some of the intelligence agents in the movie drive around in Aston Martins like James Bond, some wander around wearing human skin masks like Tom Cruise, and some lurk in the heart of the enemy like Sixth Brother.

No matter how bad he is, he is still like Lingling Qi, with melancholy eyes, sad stubble, and fresh pork kidneys.

But most of the real intelligence collection work is very boring. The daily work of many intelligence officers is like ordinary clerks, sitting at a work station and exploring useful information through newspapers, magazines and other public materials.

Nguyen Van Phuc is such an intelligence officer. At this time, he is reading newspapers in a certain room of the Consulate General.

Inadvertently, an investment advertisement caught Ruan Van Phuc's eyes.

"Investment invitation for the Special Economic Zone Science and Technology Innovation Park?" Ruan Wenfu picked up the newspaper, read it hastily, and immediately frowned.

"Looking at the investment content in the advertisement, there are shopping malls, apartments, office buildings, and ordinary shops. This is completely a commercial real estate project. Isn't it a science and technology innovation park?"

Ruan Van Phuc immediately sat down at the computer and searched for information on the Science and Technology Innovation Park in the database.

The CIA's intelligence database is still very powerful. Ruan Wenfu quickly collected relevant information about the Science and Technology Innovation Park. According to the information, this project was originally established for the purpose of sensor research and development, not a commercial real estate project.

"The information says that the Puppy Group wants to independently research and develop mid-to-high-end sensors, so the special zone has planned such a piece of land as a science and technology innovation park to attract relevant upstream and downstream companies. How can it now become a commercial real estate project?

?”

As an intelligence officer, Nguyen Van Phuc had the instinct to doubt everything and began to investigate relevant information about this project.

"The project developer is Dongshan Real Estate. Let me check this Dongshan Real Estate. Huh? One of the shareholders of Dongshan Real Estate is called Li Weidong. Isn't he the chairman of the Puppy Group?

A few days ago, some media said that the purpose of the sensor research and development of the Puppy Group was to defraud state subsidies. It seems that this science and technology innovation park also uses high-tech research and development to develop real estate! This also confirms that the purpose of defrauding subsidies is

Real news!”

Ruan Wenfu felt that he was really smart and could easily see through Li Weidong's intentions. And for this important discovery, he must write a report to his superiors!

…

Washington, DC.

There was a knock on the door, and the assistant walked into Congressman Wolf's office.

"Sir, Mr. Wharton from the Speaker's Office would like to meet with you!" the assistant said.

"Wharton? Senior advisor to Madam Speaker?" Wolf nodded: "Please come in, Mr. Wharton, and make a cup of coffee for Mr. Wharton!"

After a while, Mr. Wharton was invited to Wolfe's room. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Wolfe asked Wharton the purpose of his trip.

Wharton answered: "Congressman Wolf, I heard that you are planning to propose a new bill recently, which is to restrict scientific researchers in the field of sensors from going to work in China?"

Wolfe nodded: "Yes, it is urgent to prevent the outflow of scientific research talents in sensitive technologies. Especially the outflow to certain countries will affect our national security, so we must stop them as soon as possible!"

As Wolf spoke, he elaborated on the Puppy Group's aggressive recruitment of sensor research and development talents in the United States.

Wharton smiled slightly and said: "Congressman Wolf, many members of the House of Representatives have heard about the situation you mentioned, but some members think that this is just unfounded worry, and we should not focus on this kind of thing now.

superior."

"What does the speaker mean by telling me not to bring forward proposals in this area?" Wolfe asked immediately.

"The Speaker just doesn't want to waste the precious time of the members discussing some meaningless things." Wharton paused and then said: "I also have some information here, please take a look. But some of it was provided by the CIA.

, you need to keep it secret after reading it."

As Wharton spoke, he handed a folder to Wolfe. Wolfe opened the folder and took a closer look. He suddenly showed an expression of surprise, but there was also a hint of joy in the surprise.

"Is this sensor project using the name of technological research and development to defraud the country of huge subsidies? The science and technology innovation park is actually a commercial real estate project? Is there such a thing? Is the information accurate?" Wolfe asked.

"There should be no problem with the CIA's intelligence. Moreover, many media have recently reported on the matter of defrauding state subsidies, and I have also seen relevant news in newspapers." Wharton replied.

Wolfe looked at the information in his hand and fell into silence.

Wharton then advised: "Congressman Wolf, I know you want to hinder the progress of China's scientific research by restricting the outflow of talents, but now it seems that we do not need to do this at all.

This sensor R&D project is basically to defraud subsidies, and the science and technology park used for R&D is to develop real estate. So we can completely allow this sensor R&D project to continue.

As long as this project continues, a large amount of scientific research funds will be defrauded by companies. When the Chinese want to engage in sensor research and development in the future, they will lack a large amount of funds. This is the correct way to hinder the development of scientific research in China.

So I hope you can stop the proposal. Our current focus should be on more important aspects, such as economic issues, such as Afghanistan and the Middle East!

As members of the Democratic House of Representatives, we should unite together now and make some achievements together. Otherwise, we are likely to lose the majority position in the House of Representatives during the next election of the House of Representatives. Of course, in return, the Speaker said that he would support

What are your thoughts on the Aeronautics and Space Administration’s external cooperation?”

"I understand!" Wolfe nodded suddenly: "Go back and tell Madam Speaker, and I will comply with her request."

…

With the excuse of "cheating subsidies", the lobbying company hired by Li Weidong also began to take action, and achieved immediate results.

Those who can be elected to Congress are definitely not fools, and they cannot be deceived so easily, but as Congressman Douglas said, there are priorities.

The topic of sensor brain drain is obviously not as hot as economic issues and Middle East issues. After all, the time for discussion in the U.S. Congress is limited. For many congressmen, they also hope to discuss more hot topics in order to increase their reputation.

In addition to the personal factors of members, party factors are also very important.

The proposals of members of Congress often represent the policies of the party. If a member of one party proposes a new proposal, members of the other party will most likely block it. Even if they do not oppose it, they will add other content to it.

At this time, it is necessary for members of the same party to unite and deal with the outside world with the same hatred and hatred. This is also a way of power struggle between the Republican and Democratic parties.

In this case, based on the overall interests of the party, some members are bound to make compromises and conduct a series of exchanges of interests. Some unimportant proposals will inevitably give way to important proposals.
