Frank is the director of the CIA's Italian branch. Frank, who is 56 this year, has been in Italy for ten years. Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, few major events have happened in Europe, and even if they have happened, they have been concentrated in Eastern Europe next to Russia.
But Frank knows very well that the seemingly powerful president of Russia is actually trying his best to revive the economy that has become a puddle of mud since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The polar bear is always showing its teeth and claws. It seems very powerful, but in fact it is already old. As long as the Europeans do not take the initiative If you mess with this old polar bear, nothing big will happen in Eastern Europe.
What's more, it's in Italy, and now the CIA's power is also concentrated in the Middle East. So for Frank, the CIA director in Italy, his daily job is to drink coffee, read newspapers, and occasionally visit the Black Hand. Members of the party family.
Compared with Russia, Italy, a European power that participated in two world wars and lost both wars, has already embarked on the path of decline. The same goes for most European countries. If they do not unite, they may lose their place in the world. I don't have much say anymore.
The only thing that excites Frank in Italy is Serie A. This country is not good at fighting, but when it comes to playing football, it is definitely one of the best in the world.
Unfortunately, Frank recently received a task from the headquarters. An order was given by Bob, the former head of the European region and currently the director of the Asian Strategic Research Office of the CIA's deputy director. This order was of a confidential nature, which meant that Bob The deputy director doesn't want anyone to know until he has performed this mission.
Frank, whose muscles and bones had long been loosened, immediately became excited. At that time, he remembered ten years ago in his mind.
But when he saw the briefing, he was dumbfounded. Bob only ordered him to protect a woman. At that time, Frank thought this woman had any reputation. But upon investigation, he found that she was still a Chinese woman. Although she was very good-looking, she had a big tattoo on her forehead. But there is a scar, which is said to be from being shot.
Apart from this, Frank couldn't find anything that interested him. In other words, this woman was just an ordinary Chinese woman, and then nothing happened.
But Frank still would not disobey his old boss's order and send almost all the CIA's elite agents in Italy to protect this Chinese woman who traveled around all day long. At that time, Frank had doubted whether this woman would She is Bob's little lover.
But Frank knows very well that Bob is a cautious person. He may be romantic and happy when performing tasks, but he will never cheat on his wife when there is no task. In Chinese terms, this guy is a strict wife. , but in fact he loves his wife very much. Only if he loves her will he be afraid of her on the surface.
Sitting in an old Buick car, Frank drank coffee and read the newspaper. He would listen to the agents' reports every twenty minutes to see what this woman was doing.
These days, Frank has accompanied her to various tourist attractions in Europe, and her last stop will be Warsaw, Poland. It is said that she will take a student there to participate in the annual Chopin International Piano Competition. According to the information, this Chinese There is basically nothing special about a woman except that she is the daughter of the party secretary of a prefecture-level city in China.
She is a music teacher by profession and studied at the Vienna Conservatory of Music. This time she also took her student to the Vienna Conservatory of Music.
Pianos, such elegant things, have never caught Frank's eye, but the Chopin International Piano Competition was quite famous. Frank was thinking at the time that there was nothing special about this woman, and that might be what was special about him. The municipal party committee secretary of the prefecture-level city may be a potential spy supported by Bob.
After he figured it out, Frank began to do his best. For people in his profession, it is very annoying to have problems that he has not figured out. They all like to pursue a result, even if it is what they think, it is enough to calm down their mentality.
Twenty minutes later, several agents reported: "The target is leaving the cafe and preparing to return to the hotel. There is nothing unusual around him. Everything is safe."
"Stay alert, today is the last day in Italy, if something goes wrong, you are all ready to retire." Frank said.
There was no answer from the other side of the radio, but the agents were alert. The work in Italy was very leisurely, and they were not willing to retire.
After Yu Xue walked out of the cafe and got into a taxi, the agents were very nervous. It was obvious that they were all professionals. After the taxi drove away, several cars followed it.
Before arriving at the hotel, they could not relax their vigilance so quickly, while Frank was checking the specific information of the taxi and comparing it with the driver's personal information. In Italy, it is very easy to check and there is no need to use any special channels. Because there is a special website where you can check taxi information.
After the comparison was completed, Frank breathed a sigh of relief. According to the information sent back, everything matched. When they first started carrying out the mission, they originally planned to use agents as taxi drivers, but later they discovered that if a driver showed up If it happens many times, this woman will definitely become suspicious. In addition, there are not many people here in Italy, and everyone has been trapped in terms of security, so it will be even more difficult to do this.
And there is no need to arrange a taxi driver, and it will not attract attention. Although the Italian intelligence agency is not that good, if the CIA acts carelessly, it will still expose the target, and this is contrary to Bob's order. Bob hopes This woman didn't know they were protecting her, and she also didn't want the intelligence agencies of other countries to know. In short, everything was kept secret.
The taxi arrived at the hotel smoothly, but when Su Cong outside opened the door, no one came out. Instead, a person walked in. All the agents suddenly became alert. Frank immediately received the abnormality report, and almost Immediately, Frank issued the order: "Stop the taxi and confirm whether the target is safe."
Frank's car had already gone home, but then drove back. The agents stopped the taxi with a double attack, quickly got out of the car and opened the door of the taxi, only to find that there were only the old woman who had just walked in sitting inside. Outside, only the driver was left. Both of them were frightened by this posture and looked at a loss.
"The target disappeared and there was nothing unusual in the car." The agent reported.
Frank's face changed drastically and he ordered: "Capture the driver, activate all the agents in Milan, and find her at all costs."
Back in the office, Frank was very anxious. The CIA's actions were soon known to people from the Italian Central Secret Service, and several Italians quickly approached Frank.
"Let them wait." Outside the interrogation room, Frank looked at the taxi driver with an anxious look on his face.
Less than half an hour after returning, they used all the fastest methods to interrogate the taxi driver, but they soon discovered that the driver did not lie. The only useful information was that someone had given the taxi driver 100 euros. , let him pass by a certain intersection and rush to the hotel to pick up a guest.
Frank immediately became vigilant, and then investigated the traffic information at that intersection through special channels. When they followed the taxi, when they turned a corner, two cars with the same license plate appeared, but because of the blind spot, they did not look forward or backward. But in just ten seconds, the two cars exchanged. The taxi they followed had already gone to another road, and the driver they arrested became the target of their tracking. .
At that time, no one expected that there would be an accident, so they were not sure whether there was anyone in the taxi. The glass of the taxi was the kind of reverse glass that you could not see from the outside but could see from the inside, so this little Mistakes caused them to be fooled.
Frank's professional qualities allowed him to immediately use special channels to investigate the surveillance videos of all streets in Milan, and quickly sent people to investigate. Soon the agents sent a report saying that they had found the car. It turned out that the license plate was a fake one, but there was no one inside. There are people there, but they are searching.
As the CIA's local snake in Italy, Frank soon learned that someone had set a trap for him, and the taxi driver finally got some more useful information. The man had yellow skin and an accent that sounded like a Japanese. .
"They even dare to snatch the targets I protect. These Japanese pigs are getting more and more rampant." After receiving this result, Frank sneered and ordered: "Every Japanese company in Milan will give me a patronage, especially Those special places.”
"What will the Italians do?" the subordinate asked.
"How to deal with it." Frank thought for a while and said, "This is their territory. We have to give them some face. Give the person to them and make sure he will not tell our interrogation records. In addition, tell the Italians, just say The Japanese are spying on their intelligence, exposing some of the dirty things they have done, and letting them take the lead. We are watching from behind. Remember, our only goal is that Chinese woman. I don’t want her to be harmed in any way. If the target is injured, destroy all Japan’s intelligence networks in Italy.”
As a result, the Italians got the taxi driver, but did not get any useful information from the taxi driver. However, the three major Italian intelligence agencies suddenly received news that the Japanese had hidden commercial spies in well-known Italian companies, and The news also exposed all of Japan's secret bases in Milan.
For the Italian intelligence personnel who had done nothing for a long time, this was a great opportunity, so an inexplicable intelligence war between the Italians and the Japanese began, while the Italian branch of the CIA watched from the side, waiting for opportunities. Find real purpose
