In Gotham, it was still a morning that was neither warm nor bright. The coffee machine made a "gudugudu" sound. One hand held the cup and placed it under the coffee machine. Waiting until the steaming coffee liquid flowed into the cup,
Schiller took the coffee cup, sat on his chair, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Ding bell..." The bell on the table next to the door rang. The doorman placed the newspaper delivered by the newsboy on the table and left. Just when Schiller stood up to get the newspaper, his female colleague
Anna hurried in carrying her bag.
"Oh, you're back from vacation?" Anna looked Schiller up and down and said, "You seem to be in a much better state of mind. Vacations make people younger, right?"
"It should be said that life outside Gotham makes people younger. It is always beneficial to get more sun." Schiller took the newspaper, sat back, opened the newspaper, and read it with relish.
stand up.
Anna put down her bag, picked up another newspaper, flipped through it with a frown, and said: "The latest headlines are either Moscow or Mexico. Damn it, doesn't anyone talk about something more down-to-earth?
?”
Before Schiller could answer, Anna said to herself: "Our CIA is really stupid. They had to take action on the day he took office. Now, they deserve to be scolded."
Anna threw the newspaper on the table angrily and said, "Don't think I don't know. There were agents who wanted to sneak into Gotham University and install cameras. What kind of place do they think the school is?"
"Do you think it was the CIA?"
"What else?" Anna turned to look at Schiller and asked, "You won't believe that it was his competitors who did it, right? I think it was completely the CIA's dirty laundry. How could those people be so cunning?
stupid?"
"I think it's really possible that other Soviet leaders did it." Victor walked in, put his briefcase and umbrella aside, picked up a newspaper, and stood in front of the coffee machine.
, while waiting for the coffee to be brewed, he glanced at the headlines and said:
"Well, there is no new development. The two of them framed each other, and it was mixed with a bunch of quarrels among current affairs political commentators. Isn't there nothing insightful to say?"
"You actually think they are fighting among themselves? However, even if it is really fighting among themselves, the CIA must be involved. They are the best at doing such stupid things." Anna controlled the chair to turn back and began to write a lesson.
"You seem to have a problem with the CIA?" Schiller asked.
"Of course, they were here before you came. Guess how their plan to install cameras failed?" Anna asked without raising her head.
"How did it fail?" Victor asked curiously as he sat on his seat with a cup of coffee.
"The cameras they installed are not waterproof."
"Ahem!" Victor almost choked on his coffee and said in surprise: "What do they think? Don't they know Gotham..."
"That's why I said, they must have done this. They are always stupid." Anna curled her lips and said.
"I think the reason why their cameras are not waterproof is probably because of insufficient funds. As for why the funds are insufficient... Schiller shook his head and did not continue. Anna added: "...it's just the difference between stupidity and greed.
"
Schiller closed the newspaper, put it aside, drank the coffee in his hand, and started a new day's work.
After the window was opened, a gust of wind blew in, blowing the corners of the newspaper. The front page of the first newspaper above said clearly, "Hire assassination? We will never admit such shameless slander!"
However, it’s not that if you don’t admit this, you won’t be suspected. The supreme leader of the Soviet Union is dead, and he was shot and assassinated on the day he won the election and took office. So, who is the most suspect?
It can’t be Poland, right?
At this stage of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, everyone in the world who can read the news knows that if the two of them do not deal with each other, then if one of the leaders is assassinated at this time, who else can do it?
In this era, in order to prove that they are the strongest, both parties are unwilling to bow their heads. They not only want to save themselves, but also want to save face. The assassination of a leader is obviously very humiliating and will be considered as another sign of weakness.
Way.
It's like two top students competing for academic performance, and one of them punched first. Isn't this equivalent to admitting to the world that I resorted to such despicable methods just because my grades were not as good as his?
The current U.S. government still wants to lose face, or in other words, the blow from public opinion can still hurt them. Therefore, they immediately denied it and then began an internal investigation to find out who did it.
Yes, people within the Congress also felt that it was their people who should have taken action. After all, apart from them, no one had such a big hatred against the Soviet Union.
The assassination at the inauguration ceremony was more like a demonstration and revenge than really wanting to kill this person. The person who did it must have a grudge against him, but there were so many people who had grudges against the Soviet leader that there was a queue.
The United States is indeed the only country that can circle the earth and have the ability to successfully assassinate people.
Of course, the first target of their investigation was the killer in the black and yellow uniform.
Deathstroke was online under his real name in the mercenary circle, and it didn't take much effort for them to find the information about the mercenary named Deathstroke.
And not only did they find it, but the KGB also found it. Now, the KGB has the most powerful evidence. Deathstroke is an American, and his profession is a mercenary. Isn’t this exactly what Americanism is like? You still say it’s not you
Can you move your hands?
Congress refused to admit it to the outside world, and put pressure on the CIA internally, asking them to quickly find out who did it. However, the CIA was also very innocent. Before, Congress asked them to devote all their energy to the matter in Mexico. They must not be distracted. They did it.
Well, when something like this happened, they were still the ones who were unlucky.
But even if we don't feel angry, we still need to investigate. The CIA investigated over and over again, and finally came to the conclusion that the person may have been hired by us, but they couldn't find out who hired him.
In other words, it's not that they can't find out, but they don't dare to find out. Everyone is suspected, but the CIA can't go to Capitol Hill and expose everyone's background, right?
Although the officials refused to admit it, because they really could not provide any evidence of internal strife in the Soviet Union, their rebuttal did not seem so reliable. Although they also found some countries to support them, as long as they heard about this
People will basically think that the United States did it.
The reaction in the Soviet Union was even more intense. As I said before, even if the Cold War has reached its end, the two countries still want to face each other. If the United States wants to overturn the table first, then don't blame us for being rude. On the night when this happened,
The Kremlin sounded an emergency alert.
The Soviet Union stated that it would take a series of countermeasures, including preheating nuclear bomb silos, and that it would not be afraid to start a thermal war at any time.
The measures have always been quick and the attitude has always been tough. A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if the upper management is bribed, they still have to at least show off when the public is furious.
But this behavior made the U.S. government very angry. They spent a lot of money to support their own people in Moscow. But after the accident, you didn't help to persuade them to make peace quickly, and you still acted so tough? What about my previous money?
Isn't it all in vain?
However, the two-faced faction caught in the middle is also very aggrieved. If you want to keep your position, you must comply with public opinion and act very radically. If you express your opinions and opinions, your political opponents may take advantage of them and be criticized and removed from office.
If you want to pretend, you have to pretend, but if you want to pretend, you must show a tough attitude. The Soviet style has always been like this. Whoever kneels first will have the words "I am a traitor" written on his face.
Are you on board? No one wants to be the first to show off.
What makes the CIA even more troublesome is that the most shameless person they spent a lot of money to support along the way is the one who was killed. At this time, his imagination is so big that he will definitely not survive.
Most of the remaining people are still swinging, trying to get benefits from both ends. They usually say it's good, but at the critical moment, the CIA discovered that this group of people couldn't be used at all, and poured in huge amounts of money to feed a group of people.
White-eyed wolf.
This led to the CIA beginning to reflect on whether its original strategy of internally infiltrating the Soviet Union was wrong? And the people who had proposed and managed this plan were also criticized.
After originally proposing this plan, they spent a lot of time, energy and money to impress those outsiders, but now something happened, those people either acted like "they have to pay more", or they turned their backs and refused to recognize anyone.
.
Whether they are pretending to be high-profile and want more, or they feel that the United States is too stupid to be able to do such a thing and is not worth relying on. In short, there is a very big rift between the CIA and this group of wallflowers.
In fact, they should have understood long ago that unreliable people are always unreliable. People who can be bribed by them can naturally be bribed by others. Even if they are not bribed by others, in an emergency, their first reaction is definitely not to work hard.
, but raise the price from the ground up.
Knowing that this group of people was unreliable, the CIA began to think of ways to clarify on their own, but they had no evidence. They themselves did not understand whether it was their own people who had done it. Most people even preferred that it was their own people who had done it.
Hands, now I just need to get rid of this pot quickly.
In the CIA's metropolitan station, Keira sat on a chair and sighed deeply. The two dark circles under her eyes showed that she probably had not rested at all in the past few days.
Kayla took a sip of water and said in a hoarse voice: "What does it say above? Do you still want to continue looking for evidence?"
The subordinate sighed and said: "Yes, the order has never changed. It is to prove as soon as possible that it was not us who did it..."
"I remember that you also graduated from the police academy before." Kayla looked at the subordinate and said: "You should have been taught in school that if you want to analyze whether a person has a motive for committing an offense, you must look at his relationship with the victim.
, analyze from behavioral and psychological aspects, whether it is necessary for him to kill the victim."
"Now, the Soviet Union is the victim and we are the suspects. If we want to prove that we have no motive for committing the crime, we must prove that there is no need for us to kill the victim."
"Then do we need it?" the subordinate asked.
"From a public point of view, of course we are necessary, because the two of us are mortal enemies. Ordinary people will not think so much. They will only think that if a person dies, it must be his biggest enemy.
, we are the biggest enemies of the Soviet Union." Keira put down the cup and said with a pursed lips.
"But..." the subordinate lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I say it before? The new man in power wants to promote democracy, which is beneficial to us, so why do we need to kill him?"
"You can put it more bluntly, he was bribed by us, so the question is, how do we explain this?" Keira stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and said while drawing:
"If we want to argue that there is no need for us to kill him, we have to announce to everyone that he is one of ours. Only then can we come to the conclusion that 'there is no need for us to kill our own people.'"
"Announce to the whole world that the supreme leader of the Soviet Union is ours..." Keira pursed her lips and said, "It's like making a cut on an artery to stop the bleeding."
"This kind of thing can be done, but it can't be said." Keira shook her head and said, "Even if we really win, we can't say it. We can only say that their theory is untenable and leads to irreparable consequences.
This tragedy can prove that we are right."
The subordinate also sighed and said: "Now the entire system is conducting self-examination, just to find out the person who did it. Who is he?"
Out of sight of her subordinates, Keira turned around and showed a complicated expression. She said, "Yeah, who is he?"
