Natasha thought of what happened to the CIA last time, so she targeted a person: "If it was him, then it can be explained, but has he really been absorbed by the Chinese? If so, it would be troublesome. "
At this moment, the phone in the office suddenly rang. Natasha answered the phone and found that it was Director Smith. After the last incident, Director Miller resigned, Smith was promoted to Director of the CIA, and Natasha was transferred to the CIA. Deputy Director, in charge of the action team.
Another deputy director who was also transferred was Bob, the director of intelligence in Europe. The entire CIA was reorganized. Bob became the deputy director and director of the Asian Research Office, becoming the most powerful person in the CIA like Natasha. .
Smith told Natasha on the phone to go to the conference room for an intelligence meeting. When she came to the office, Natasha found that Fat Bob had already arrived in the conference room. There were only the three of them in the entire meeting. After Natasha sat down, , did not say hello to Bob, just like she turned a blind eye to Bob after he was transferred from Europe. From the bottom of her heart, Natasha did not have much affection for Bob, an old fat man.
The reason for this is not because he is very fat. In comparison, Smith is also very fat, but because Natasha feels that she cannot see through Bob. Under that fat body, there always seems to be something hidden. Another unknown identity, this Natasha's intuition, is also the reason why she hates Bob.
But dislike does not need to be shown on the face. As the deputy director, Natasha can keep a distance from Bob, but she will not argue with her on official matters.
"You should all have heard of Project Medusa." Smith took a sip of coffee and said casually.
"Medusa Project." The two of them nodded, neither of them were too surprised. This was a secret spy training plan targeting China.
Spies sometimes do not need to train outstanding talents from their own country, but train them from within the enemy country or directly instigate rebellion. Training spies from within the enemy requires a long-term capital chain supply, takes a long time, and the probability of failure is high, but if Once there is a success, the previous failures are not worth mentioning.
However, the previous training plan took too long, and it is possible that the current government will carry out training, and the next government may cancel the plan due to political reasons, and even if it is not cancelled, a spy trained within the enemy country can When it comes into play, it may be ten years later, or even twenty years later.
Therefore, it is difficult for governments of all countries to afford such long-term training, because the price of failure is too expensive, so the second way is to instigate rebellion.
The Medusa Plan is an instigation operation against big figures in China's intelligence community or military and political circles. This plan was started when China's second generation of leaders took office, because everyone knew that before the second generation of leaders, China can be said to be pervasive.
The opportunities that reform and opening up have brought to China have also brought huge risks. Medusa's most successful success was to instigate the deputy director of the General Intelligence Agency. But since that time, the CIA has never been there. China got no useful intelligence because the General Intelligence Agency carried out a purge and all those suspected were put in military prisons.
Therefore, Project Medusa was a successful plan, but it was also a failed plan, because although this plan allowed the United States to have a good understanding of China's national policies in the next ten years, it lost its largest intelligence network in China.
"Yes, it is the Medusa Project. Natasha, didn't you get a piece of secret information from China? This is the biggest fish in the Medusa Project, but this fish has not been caught yet, but , as long as we are willing to pay a sufficient price, one day he will be like the deputy director of the General Intelligence Bureau of China and provide us with a steady stream of intelligence." Smith smiled.
Natasha thought deeply. It was extremely difficult to instigate rebellion against such a high-level figure. It would be possible for several years of contact to achieve only a little result.
"Although the information he provided us is true, it is not detailed information. Otherwise, he should have told us all the information about the Chinese special forces and what their goals are. So" Natasha had some questions .
"So, this is what we will do next. He has not fully cooperated with us, or he is just using us to attack his political opponents in China." Smith said with a smile on his face.
Bob said: "As long as he is willing to cooperate with us, we can slowly absorb him. In China, it is shameful for such a person to become a spy. Does the director mean to first Let him recognize the fact that he is a spy."
Smith nodded: "Yes, he does not think that he is a spy, nor does he think that he is betraying national interests, so cooperation with us is all in his hands. Whatever he is willing to give us, he will give us, for so many years Come on, it’s better to say that we are catching his fish than he is using us, but now we need him to pay some price to make his identity more embarrassing in China.” “But we can’t let him. Just like the previous deputy director in the Medusa Project, he defected to the United States so easily, right?" Natasha guessed.
"Yes, everything must be in accordance with the policies of Congress. Mr. President does not want the relationship with China to break. Now the whole world is using Chinese manufacturing. Breaking the relationship with China will hurt both sides. This is not in the interest of the United States." Smith paused, took a sip of coffee, and continued, "So, we cannot let the number two person trained in the Medusa Project defect to our country, but we should let him stay in China. Continuously provide us with information, and we cannot let his identity be exposed, but we must also make him feel the crisis."
"I understand." Bob nodded, "Leave this matter to me."
Smith glanced at Bob appreciatively, then asked him to leave, and then said to Natasha: "According to the intelligence Medusa provided us, have you guessed the purpose of the Chinese?"
"No." Natasha shook her head, "But it is probably crucial. They dare to send special forces to sneak into our country. They must be hoping to obtain a vital technology. And what is China lacking most now?"
"What is lacking most." Smith pondered for a while and suddenly realized, "We are the only most advanced engine technology and aircraft carrier nuclear reactor in the world. It seems that the Chinese have a big appetite this time, but..."
"However, we can also see which direction their national policy will take in the future. This will be a huge problem for us, but it is also an opportunity." Natasha said.
"With China's current strength, it can barely be a rival, but this country's potential is really huge. When they solve their internal problems, it is very likely that they will be defeated." Smith frowned again. China's biggest problem now is not external, but internal. internal.
Natasha also frowned, fearing that the country's national cohesion would be most terrifying when they unanimously speak to the outside world. A famous American president, Richard Nixon, once said: "When the next generation of this country forgets their culture, Then we can attack it."
Since that period, the CIA has invested more money in China than training spies, and now the effect is becoming more and more obvious, so both Natasha and Smith are worried that the Chinese will start to remember their own culture, so the CIA's culture for many years Infiltration will be in vain, and an enemy more terrifying than the former Soviet Union will appear. That may be the time when the United States of America is in decline.
"Do you have the whereabouts of this special forces unit?" Smith asked.
"We are investigating, but this may be interfered by the FBI. We, who have no law enforcement powers, may miss the opportunity." Natasha worried that not only China is facing internal strife, but also the United States. Due to the internal fighting between interest groups and the internal fighting between interest groups, the CIA's biggest opponent is the FBI. Although there are internal and external conflicts, differences are inevitable.
"I will report this matter to the National Security Council. Just feel free to use all resources to investigate. Keep them in the United States at all costs, let alone let them send any useful intelligence to China." Smith looked serious. .
After leaving the conference room, the first thing Natasha did was to ask the SOG special tactics team to be on call at any time, and then spread all intelligence networks in the United States to launch an investigation.
Among all the channels into the United States, several secret routes caught Natasha's attention. After questioning the intelligence analysis department, Natasha felt a little angry: "They have already come in, these damn politicians, a bunch of stupid pigs. "
Those secret routes involve Mexican drug traffickers. Neither the U.S. government nor the Coast Guard will conduct thorough investigations on those routes and allow them to enter the United States freely. And the behind-the-scenes of these voyages , involving several U.S. senators.
The reason why Natasha was angry was that these enemies were actually let in by her own people. Most people might not suspect anything when they see those routes, or even conduct an investigation, but Natasha had a premonition.
Then he contacted the CIA branch in Tennessee and asked them to quickly investigate all people with suspicious identities, especially some suspicious incidents.
The crash of a civilian plane confirmed Natasha's suspicions, but being angry was of no use. Instead, it would affect her rational judgment.
She picked up the phone on her desk and dialed the action team: "Order the SOG to rush to the Newport News Shipyard quickly. If anyone is found to be invading, kill them all without asking for permission."
