When Mr. An heard that Qin Fei's mood had stabilized, he changed the subject and said, "You said before that the data on the hard drive may involve nuclear weapons. This may be true."
"What?" Qin Fei was surprised and asked quickly: "Did our intelligence department collect any information?"
"Do you still remember the last time you encountered the Dragon Squad in Yemen?"
"Remember, the Jiaolong Squadron seemed to be escorting a Middle Easterner at that time." Qin Fei thought of the second intelligence agent named Liu Hai, who was accompanied by an older Middle Easterner.
Qin Fei has a good memory and has some impressions of this person. His name seems to be Abu Hara, a typical Middle Eastern name.
Although Liu Hai or anyone from the Jiaolong Squad did not disclose the identity of this person at the time, judging from the situation at the scene, this person was a very important figure.
"I remember that Liu Hai of the Second Department was also carrying a man named Abuhara. It seems that the main task of the Jiaolong Squadron at that time was to escort this man out of the wild gate."
"That's right. But Liu Hai didn't fully trust you at that time, and because of the mission requirements, he didn't reveal the truth to you. After cross-checking the information collected by our intelligence department in this short period of time and the information you sent back, we
We have come to a conclusion - the hard drive you are holding does contain a plan for nuclear weapons. As for what the plan is, no one knows yet, but it must be a weapons-level nuclear weapons plan."
After hearing what Mr. An said, Qin Fei was secretly shocked.
Weapons-level nuclear weapons mean that they are completely weapons of mass destruction, not ordinary dirty bombs, which can be used directly to declare a nuclear-armed country.
This is no joke. Once this plan really succeeds, it will drop a bombshell in the international political situation and the entire international community will be turned into muddy water.
"Old man, do you believe this plan is true? Are you getting technology or weapons that were leaked during the former Soviet Union?" Qin Fei really couldn't imagine who else would have such technical information and weapons except when Maozi himself split up.
This kind of ability.
"No, it's not a problem with the former Soviet Union." Mr. An said: "When the Soviet Union collapsed, the intelligence agencies of many countries were keeping a close eye on them. In addition, joint teams from many countries were stationed at that time to monitor and destroy those nuclear warheads. So,
I haven’t heard of any leaks in years.”
Not the former Soviet Union!?
The nuclear powers in this world can be counted with two palms.
Since it’s not the former Soviet Union, could it be several other countries?
"No need to guess."
Mr. An seemed to have guessed Qin Fei's thoughts.
"It was leaked from the country you are in now."
South Africa!?
Qin Fei was shocked!
He suddenly remembered a past incident.
South Africa, a country that was once ruled by white people, was actually a nuclear-armed country!
That is a dusty past that has long been forgotten, but now South Africa's national power is too weak, and people can't even associate it with the powerful African power in the past.
This matter dates back to the mid-1970s. At that time, South Africa officially began to develop nuclear weapons. Since South Africa has abundant raw materials and corresponding technologies, it quickly built its first nuclear weapon within a year.
device.
Two years later, South Africa conducted multiple launches that may have been nuclear tests at test sites on its own soil and in the South Atlantic and South Pacific. This theory came from the test light captured from the air by an American reconnaissance satellite, but this
It was also denied by South Africa.
In the 1980s, South Africa finally broke through the technical difficulties of actual nuclear weapons and successfully developed nuclear weapons. By the end of the 1980s, South Africa had a total of six warheads, but the most surprising thing is that it already had
South Africa, which has achieved so much, took the initiative to give up its nuclear weapons at this juncture and voluntarily became a non-nuclear country.
The entire process of nuclear abandonment is also progressing very fast. Consideration of nuclear abandonment began in 1987, and nuclear abandonment was gradually promoted in 1990. In 1990, the nuclear abandonment order was officially signed. In 1991, nuclear abandonment was completed. In 1999, technical data were destroyed and nuclear weapons were developed.
Made illegal, by the time Mandela came to power in 1994, South Africa no longer had nuclear weapons.
To say that the reason why South Africa took the initiative to give up nuclear weapons can be regarded as Mandela's conformity to the world trend, abolition of nuclear weapons is not necessarily a bad thing. And even without nuclear weapons, South Africa has always made achievements in the export of other weapons and equipment.
And South Africa does have some equipment and weapons that are among the best in the world. Among them is the Kestrel armed helicopter. Such weapons cannot be developed just by anyone's imagination.
Of course, there is another way of saying it. Many people still believe that this is all the legacy left by the white government. Since the black government came to power, South Africa's military, technological and economic power has plummeted, and now it is not even a third-rate country.
.
When Mr. An mentioned this matter to himself, Qin Fei remembered that this weak country was once a powerful and dominating country.
"Old man, this happened so many years ago. Have the six nuclear warheads from that year been destroyed? Or are there still some nuclear warheads that are not on the list?"
This is Qin Fei's question.
Other than that, it's probably hard to find any other explanation.
"This is still unclear, but the information received by our overseas intelligence agencies is that the warheads from that year have indeed been completely destroyed and there are no traces left."
"This is strange." Qin Fei asked doubtfully: "What does Abuhara have to do with this matter?"
"Abhara was actually a former director of the Iraqi Intelligence Agency. In the mid-to-late 1990s, he was responsible for a secret job to recruit nuclear energy engineers around the world. Later, he lived up to expectations and spent a lot of money to find three
Former engineers of the South African nuclear weapons project, one is named Cronin, one is named Keith, and one is named Fredo. Fredo was the protégé of Professor Manit, the chief engineer of the nuclear project at the time. After the nuclear project was disbanded,
, stole some information and left South Africa, and has been living in Eastern Europe ever since. After being found by Abu Hara, he was persuaded to participate in Iraq’s nuclear project.”
"It's just that Iraq's nuclear project was abandoned by the military in early 2000 due to international pressure and domestic economic pressure, and Fred was abandoned. In order to ensure safety, Abu Hara arranged for the three of them to be in different countries in the Middle East
Living in anonymity, Fredo settled in the wild gate."
"But not long afterward, the second Gulf War occurred. The then-Israeli government collapsed, its leaders were hanged, and the intelligence agency was forced to disband. Abuhayi fled to Nomon to hide, but he and three nuclear engineers
We also maintain regular contact, after all, these three people are involved in too many secrets, and they are also an important asset."
"But in April of this year, when Abuhay contacted Fredo and the other three people again, he found that they had all disappeared. According to the secret communication method that Fredo and he had always maintained, he found that Fredo had given him
Fredo sent a secret email in which he claimed that an organization called Black Sun was recruiting the three of them, promising generous rewards and allowing them to go to unknown places to participate in a project called the "Shark Fishing Project."
Nuclear weapons construction project. From the emails, it can be seen that Fredo seemed unwilling to get involved in these dangerous matters anymore. He begged Abhara to provide him with a false identity and let him disappear again."
"Abhara was no longer the director of the intelligence agency at the time, and he no longer had enough resources and funds to protect Fredo. He knew the seriousness of the matter, but he could not approach Western countries, which would make the original invasion of the multinational coalition justice.
, affecting the morale of the resistance organizations currently operating in Iraq, but after all, he is a person who has engaged in intelligence. He also knows something about the Black Sun organization and knows that this organization has been threatening the security of our country. If we are looking for us, we will
To provide him with strong protection without exposing him to the infamy of betraying his motherland, they contacted members of our embassy in Yemen and claimed that there was a major exchange of information on the condition that they provide funds and false identities for him and three engineers.
