After Bob finished processing the documents in his hand, he looked at his watch, and after arranging the next things, Bob said hello to his colleagues and prepared to get off work.
In almost all of the CIA's attempts to overthrow foreign governments, there was a person named "Bob." In fact, "Bob" was not a person's name, but the code name of the person in charge of special operations.
Similarly, Bob is just his code name. At almost fifty years old, he has become the director of the CIA in Europe, and almost all matters, big and small, pass through his hands.
Although he does not work in Langley, the headquarters, Bob has a prosperous official career. In a few years, as he adds to his resume, he may return to the United States and serve as the deputy director of the CIA, or even the director.
Thinking back to the time when he was one of the many pawns of the CIA, Bob couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Every executive of the CIA started from the lowest level of agents. When he was 31 years old, Bob accepted a CIA mission to get rid of Saddam Hussein.
Mu's orders.
He came to the mountains of northern Iraq alone, carrying an AK-47 rifle.
He won the skydiving championship when he was young, and was in charge of intelligence activities in the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Because he trained Sudanese guerrillas to oppose Gaddafi, the Libyan intelligence agencies were hunting him down. He was considered to be a rapid spy of the United States Central Intelligence Agency.
Rising star.
At that time, the U.S. government only gave the CIA $20 million a year to overthrow Saddam Hussein. In the eyes of young Bob, this amount of money was not enough to set up a secret radio station in Iraq, which was the same as the CIA used to overthrow Nicaragua in the 1980s.
The costs of the Sandinista government were a drop in the bucket in comparison.
Then he considered supporting the resistance fighters in northern Iraq. A successful attack might spread to the south, all the way to Baghdad. It happened that Chalabi, the leader of the Iraqi National Congress, an Iraqi terrorist organization established with the help of the CIA,
, there is also the so-called "three-city plan" to attack the northern Iraqi cities of Mosul, Kirkuk and the southern city of Basra, triggering local massacres in these cities and inducing Saddam's troops to surrender to the guerrillas.
"Bob" reported the plan to the CIA.
After intensive preparations and Bob's coercion and inducement, Chalabi decided to launch attacks on Mosul and Kirkuk. Unexpectedly, at a critical moment, the opposition armed forces split due to internal strife, and the two main leaders
Massoud Barzani and Jalal Darabani quarreled over the division of money earned from smuggling oil, and Barzani withdrew from the operation.
After the U.S. President's National Security Advisor Allen Lake learned of the incident through other channels, he immediately ordered Bob to stop his actions with the opposition, otherwise he would bear the consequences.
But Bob was unwilling to do so. He had been planning for so long, how could he just let it go?
The opposition took action, naturally with Bob's instigation. Everything went smoothly at first. In northern Iraq, they successfully persuaded more than 1,000 of Saddam's officers and soldiers to surrender. However, without the support of Barzani and Washington,
, the National Assembly’s military operations ceased a week later, and Bob was urgently recalled to Washington to undergo FBI review. This time, the secret war for which “Bob” was specifically responsible cost as much as $120 million.
The final result was that Bob abandoned the Iraqi opposition and returned to his home country to undergo investigation. According to his planned plan, this operation, even if it could not overthrow the cunning Saddam, would still severely weaken him and come back to welcome him.
His should be flowers and praise.
However, things often go beyond his expectations, and those who prevented him from taking this powerful action were the members of Congress. The reason was that he spent too much money. If he added another reason, it would be that this action would make the CIA behind the scenes.
The U.S. government is in an extremely disadvantageous position.
Thinking about this operation now, Bob would yell, "fuck"
Since then, he, the rising star of the CIA, has been put in cold storage, all his childhood dreams were shattered during the investigation, and his position was replaced by another "Bob".
However, with the changes in U.S. policy in the Middle East, Old Bob was appointed again, and the CIA's senior leadership directly authorized him to be the director of the CIA's Middle East region.
Finally, under his planning, the United States launched the Iraq War after the war in Afghanistan, marched directly to Baghdad, and crushed all opposition forces. In the end, the U.S. government angrily hanged Saddam, the American root in the Middle East.
The irony is that Saddam was trained by the CIA and eventually became one of the biggest enemies of the United States in the Middle East.
However, in this matter, Old Bob understood that none of the bullshit national interests are non-interests. The interests of the consortium behind the members of Congress are interests.
The congressmen made a fortune from the war, and the biggest beneficiary was the family behind the president who launched the war, which completely eliminated all obstacles.
However, Old Bob did not hate the interests behind the war, because he still wanted to be promoted, so following this route, Old Bob got his wish and became the director of the CIA in Europe. Despite his brilliant performance,
Almost everything is answered. Old Bob recently received news that he will soon be transferred to the headquarters.
Old Bob recalled this experience with great concentration, came to the garage, and prepared to drive home to have dinner with his wife.
However, as soon as he entered the car, his expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously took out a pistol, but a deep and cold voice came from behind him: "Your gun is no faster than my hand."
Old Bob was covered in cold sweat. He heard the voice and relaxed again. He started the car very cooperatively and left the underground parking lot. He knew very well that this was the German branch of the CIA. If there was no movement for a few minutes after he entered the car,
, which will arouse the vigilance of his peers.
When driving on the road, you can see Mercedes-Benz and BMW everywhere. In Germany, Mercedes-Benz is just a taxi, so it is not surprising.
Germany is a self-reliant country. After World War II, its industry developed rapidly. Its products are world-renowned for their excellent quality. No matter what industry, when most people hear that it is made in Germany, two words will appear in their hearts: "Don't worry."
German corporate services are also top-notch. There is a saying in the eyes of merchants that the customer is God. This sentence is used to explain that the after-sales service of German companies cannot be better. The difference between German companies and Chinese companies is that,
If they want to hold an exhibition, they don't need to rely on bikini girls to attract customers' attention, because they have a kind of confidence in their bones that their products are the best and do not need any external things to set them off.
If the United States is a country of desire, then Germany is a country with strict social customs. Bob has lived here for five or six years, and he even feels like he doesn’t want to return to the United States, because Americans preach equality and freedom everywhere, which is different from the Germans.
To compare, it is simply ironic.
"The Hand of God Project has entered an advanced stage. Do we need to advance the process?" Old Bob seemed to know what the man sitting behind wanted to ask, so he explained everything before he could ask.
"Humph." The person sitting behind the car made a deep voice, "I'm here to tell you that you can start the next step."
"Do I need to use my right hand?" Old Bob asked.
"No." The voice behind him was low and cold, "Now the left hand is still under control, there is no need to expose the existence of the right hand."
"I know what to do." Old Bob drove the car and stopped at the red light. After waiting for a minute, he started the car again and asked nervously, "My..."
As soon as he said it, he seemed to find something missing in the back. When he looked back, he found that the back seat was empty and there was nothing. Old Bob was covered in cold sweat and shook his head. This man was definitely the most terrifying person he had ever seen. He had no
Parking the car, he didn't even think about investigating how this person got into his car. He just knew that going home now and pretending that nothing had happened was the best move.
On the way back, old Bob kept thinking about something. The person sitting behind him just now was codenamed M.
Before meeting M, old Bob was still under investigation by the FBI. At that time, he was frustrated and even thought that the investigation would continue indefinitely, and M appeared in front of him like a savior. From then on, his
Destiny changed, the FBI ended its investigation into him, the CIA lifted his freeze, and old Bob rose again like a rising star.
When he returned home, his wife Catherine had already prepared dinner and was waiting for his return virtuously. When he entered life, he was just an ordinary person. He had a wife and three children.
Everything he did was for them. Catherine was just an ordinary German girl. They met on the romantic Rhine River. She had a cool temperament, strong, independent, more modern sense, and even a little difficult to control.
Wild and strong.
Old Bob fell in love with her. In order to protect Catherine and his children, Bob wanted to climb to the top of the CIA at all costs. The greater his use value, the more he could get everything he wanted, such as
This kind of leisurely life now.
At work, he is the CIA's director in Europe, but in life, he is just Catherine's husband and the father of several children.
Going home every day to see Catherine's smile and several children playing around him was everything he wanted, but because of his identity, he had to pay a price that ordinary people couldn't pay.
Some people say that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Old Bob agrees with this sentence, but this sentence only applies to his family. He needs the right to live a peaceful life and protect his family's responsibility.
As for national interests? Those are all bullshit in Bob's eyes. He was once young and full of passionate ambition, but what he got in exchange was just playing around and sacrificing under power...
