When Michelle called Qin Fei, the latter heard the roar of the helicopter propeller in the background of the phone.
"Hi, Major, good morning!"
Qin Fei subconsciously glanced at his watch. The time was six o'clock in the morning.
"Qin, what on earth are you playing? Where are you!?" Michelle's tone did not sound very friendly.
No wonder, after the three-party video conference, everything was as Michelle expected, and a settlement agreement was reached between mi17 and cia.
The Colombian operation was first initiated by mi17. Although the CIA was not informed before, the operation itself was top secret and targeted the extremely cunning leader of the Holy City Force, the terrorist tycoon Ryuichi Kawasaki. The explanation given by Baron Harvey was because he was worried about leaks.
Rumors, so everything is controlled in the operations department of MI17 controlled by Michel. Previously, MI17 and CIA did not cooperate in the Quds Force's strike operations, and even tried to conduct joint operations with France's DGSE (Directorate of External Security).
, but in the end, he just killed a stand-in for Ryuichi Kawasaki.
In fact, all intelligence agencies involved in the operation know that joint operations are the easiest to leak.
So-called joint operations are usually relatively complex in terms of communication channels. The intelligence of the operation itself flows between several departments and often passes through the hands of many people. It is difficult to control it within a small area, so the risk of leakage also increases.
There is nothing surprising about the wind noise.
After that joint operation, several intelligence organizations of NATO member states had a consensus during the review process that they wanted to catch Ryuichi Kawasaki, and I am afraid that joint operations would not be possible.
The Holy City Force itself was born in Europe, so its infiltration into Europe is particularly serious. No one knows who is a human and who is a ghost in each other's organizations.
Baron Harvey's explanation was approved by CIA Chief Rosen.
During the operation in South Africa, the Cornerstone Project Operation Team commanded by Cook was actually not affiliated with any CIA department. It was originally a secret department responsible for black operations. Even Rosen did not understand this operation department deeply. After all, everyone
Everyone has their own scope of authority, and the CIA also has a bureaucratic atmosphere.
Although Cook is a deputy director, even Rosen knows who is behind him and is wary of three points.
Therefore, as long as the covert operations department did not use CIA resources, but only used CIA resources, and did not do anything extraordinary, Director Rosen would not have interfered.
Only this time, South Africa's actions did arouse Rosen's vigilance.
It seems that my deputy's bottom is not clean.
However, as the first brother of CIA, Rosen did not criticize Cook during the three-party video conference, and actually defended him.
The reason is easy to understand. Although the Cornerstone Project was not a secret agency that was approved through public discussion, and Rosen was not responsible for paying for it, it was, after all, in the name of CIA, and the founder was Deputy Director Cook.
This itself is an internal scandal within the CIA. If Rosen accused Cook on the spot, it would be equivalent to making the scandal public. It would be better to simply admit that the Cornerstone Project was established with the consent of the CIA.
Of course, admitting it in front of Baron Harvey does not mean that Rosen tolerated Cook's actions.
To move Cook was not a temporary matter. Behind Cook, he had the support of members of the House and Senate, and the backing of senior officials from the National Intelligence Council. He took office that year based on the recommendations of certain senior officials.
Director Rosen is well versed in officialdom politics. In the so-called "democratic" politics of Western politicians, the eternal essence is "transaction."
Transaction sounds quite commercial and should not be used in politics, so it has been packaged in the mouths of politicians and turned into another word balance that sounds more professional and easier for the public to accept but actually has the same meaning.
The core of business transactions itself is the balance of interests, which is equally feasible in politics. The balance of interests between parties, and the balance of power and interests between politicians are actually just a new way of doing things without changing the medicine.
When those big-name congressmen in suits and ties argue with each other in the House of Representatives and the Senate and seem to refuse to give in, they often want to do business and negotiate a power exchange deal behind the scenes.
Rosen and Cook were not the same person. They had different power backgrounds. Cook had to bear the blame for the death of so many agents. This was the bargaining chip in Rosen's hand. However, in front of Baron Harvey, he could never expose his family's scandal.
Because once things get serious, the bargaining chips will lose their blackmail value.
At the end of the meeting, CIA made concessions and the command of Operation Colombia was returned to MI17, under the command of Michel.
After gaining command, Michel quickly sent a search force on a Mi-17 helicopter to the Amazon jungle to look for Qin Fei. However, nothing was found, only the SEAL members of the "Bandito" assault platoon who participated in the operation.
After asking around, I found out that Qin Fei had already withdrawn.
Back at the base, Michelle remembered that she had Qin Fei's satellite phone number, so she quickly dialed it.
"Major, congratulations on taking back the operational command." Qin Fei chatted with Michelle with a smile, while the old fish next to him re-bandaged the wound on his left arm.
He stood up and glanced around.
There was heavy fog filling the high seas in the early morning. Qin Fei was now on a Panamanian cargo ship.
The cargo ship's destination is Costa Rica.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here, Qin, we have an agreement, you and I are a cooperative relationship, where is Maurice now?" Michelle felt betrayed by Qin Fei, "Where are you now?
?Take Morris back to the anti-terrorist base immediately! I want to see him immediately!"
Originally there was a cooperative relationship between the mercenary group and mi17, but Qin Fei disappeared from the Amazon jungle after finding Morris. Now he doesn't even know where he is. The most terrible thing is that Achilles' heel is
In Qin Fei's hands!
In this way, Qin Fei and others have obtained the two most critical keys to unlocking the secret of Achilles' Heel: the computer genius "Professor" Morris and the hard drive!
If, as rumored, the hard drive is filled with secrets, its price will be a sky-high price. As long as Qin Fei opens his mouth, any intelligence agency and underground organization in the world will pay a sky-high price to acquire the information in Qin Fei's hands.
That's why Michelle suspected that Qin Fei had forgotten all about the benefits and had forgotten about the cooperative relationship between the two parties, and just took the hard drive and ran away with Morris.
Thinking of this, Michelle broke into cold sweat.
The action was directed by him. If Qin Fei ran away, I'm afraid he would be blamed.
"Major, I will not return to Colombia." Qin Fei said resolutely: "It is not safe there. You Mi17 can actually be deprived of your command right on the spot. I don't expect you to be there to protect my safety and Morris's safety.
If you continue to stay in Cali, no one can guarantee what new situation will happen."
Michelle wanted to refute, but suddenly realized that what Qin Fei said made sense.
Indeed, in front of everyone, I was instantly deprived of command by CIA people, and I was ambushed by FACR guerrillas on the way off the plane from Colombia. All this shows that Colombia is not a safe place.
"What do you mean by taking Maurice away?"
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to sell out my partners." Qin Fei said, "I said that I can share the information in Achilles' Heel with you mi17, so I will definitely keep my word."
Seeing Michelle in such a hurry, Qin Fei was a little dumbfounded.
It seems Michelle still doesn't know her true identity.
No matter how much data and intelligence there is in the hard drive, Qin Fei will not sell it as a gold mine. What Qin Fei wants is the data inside, the data pointing to the Black Sun Organization.
In the final analysis, Qin Fei's purpose is to eradicate the Black Sun Organization and expose the big boss behind the "Eagle Project" to the sun.
To do all this, Qin Fei will never offend a powerful helper, which is the intelligence department of the British Empire, such as mi17 and mi6.
"Major, I should be back in Eritrea in 4 hours. You know where to find me. I will wait for you to come. That is my territory. Only when I return there will I feel safe." Qin Fei said.
Michelle couldn't believe her ears. Qin Fei agreed so easily. It didn't sound like this country Z person had swallowed the hard drive. Maybe...
Maybe, as he said, he decided to leave Colombia immediately just for safety reasons.
"Okay, I will immediately arrange a flight to make an appointment. Qin, don't play tricks in front of me. If you offend us, you will lose more than you gain." Michelle did not forget to warn Qin Fei.
Qin Fei burst out laughing: "Major, I dare to kill all members of the CIA's secret department. Do you think I'm afraid of offending people?"
Michelle was speechless again.
In the Amazon jungle, Michelle saw with her own eyes the members of the Cornerstone Project hunting team who were put into body bags one by one. According to the description of the "Bandito" SEALs, these people were all killed by Qin Fei's men.
Shot to death.
This guy is not bragging, he is really not afraid of cia and mi17.
"OK, I apologize to you, wait for me, I will go to Eritrea to find you immediately."
The two cut off the call, and Qin Fei stood by the deck railing with the satellite phone in his hands and was stunned for a while.
Lei Ming walked to Qin Fei's side and whispered: "In half an hour, a helicopter will follow the ship. We board the helicopter using the ladder, and then go to Costa Rica, where we will transfer to the Global 6000 business jet.
Make an appointment."
"A helicopter?" Qin Fei was a little confused. He turned back and glanced in the direction of the driving building and said, "Can you sit on it?"
The Crow Team, the detachment, and the Ghost Team have nearly twenty people together. Unless it is a large transport aircraft, it is difficult to sit down in a helicopter.
"The ghost team won't follow us to make the appointment. They have other tasks." Lei Ming said. (To be continued)
