Chapter 1207 People can't look at their appearance
"Your name is Qin Fei." Alexanderkovic said enthusiastically in fluent English: "You are a miracle in the African mercenary circle."
Qin Fei knew that Alexanderkovic knew him.
During the Stockholm incident, although the two had never met, they could be regarded as invisible rivals.
It was Alexanderkovic who used Simon to establish the "Grave Diggers" organization, which caused a lot of trouble at the palace charity banquet.
Strictly speaking, the two were once opposites.
But now we are on the same front, which confirms the saying - there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Now the goals of both parties are consistent, and there is room for cooperation, and the past events are temporarily forgotten.
Of course, Qin Fei would not be stupid enough to regard Alexanderkovic as a real friend. That would be a very stupid idea. If his interests required it, Alexanderkovic would not hesitate to sell himself as a bargaining chip.
For FSB, Qin Fei needs limited trust and unlimited vigilance.
What surprised Qin Fei most was not Alexanderkovic's enthusiastic attitude, but the man himself.
Although they had never met each other before, in Qin Fei's subconscious, Alexanderkovic should be a capable, cold and hard-core person.
After all, as the intelligence chief of the FSB European Region, he has countless spies and agents with amazing abilities under him, and he also holds the command of the "Alfa" special operations force. It can be said that he is also a well-known figure in the Russian intelligence circle.
But at this moment, standing in front of Qin Fei was a skinny little old man.
He is about fifty years old, but his hair and beard are both white.
The white beard extends from the roots of the ears to the chin. It is thick and neat. The man looks lean and lean, which is in sharp contrast to the several FSB agents next to him who are over 1.9 meters tall.
But his beard was trimmed meticulously and neatly, and his eyes, although not big, were as deep as a pool of water with no bottom, embedded above the sharp bridge of his nose, giving people a sense of majesty at first glance.
At least one glance shows that this person's style is extremely harsh and ruthless.
Such a wizened little old man actually controlled a huge branch, which made Qin Fei deeply feel that people really cannot be judged by their appearance.
"Yes, we know each other. We were in Stockholm, but unfortunately we didn't meet each other. This time we finally have a chance."
Qin Fei stretched out his hand.
Alexanderkovic smiled and shook hands with Qin Fei, then turned his eyes to Michelle.
"Major, I have known you for a long time. I am the only female operations commander of MI17. It is a great honor to meet you."
Michelle stretched out her hand, originally wanting to shake hands with Alexanderkovic, but unexpectedly the latter directly took the major's hand and kissed it.
This is a common etiquette used by old gentlemen of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Alexanderkovic uses it without any rudeness, which shows that it is not unreasonable for this person to be appointed as the head of the European Bureau.
Qin Fei had heard some rumors about Russian agents during the KGB era before.
It is said that in order to be able to come and go freely in Europe to steal intelligence, these agents will undergo a training called "environmental adaptation".
The KGB will own some of its own properties in big cities like Moscow, and then decorate the entire buildings of some of them in European style. The people who live there will all follow European living patterns and habits, down to meeting etiquette and
Table manners, eating habits, clothing matching, etc. will be meticulously implemented in accordance with the standards of some developed countries in Western Europe.
The agents who are to be released to Europe are then allowed to live there for at least three months. During this period, the agents live completely according to the habits of the target country, and are guided by professional teachers until every detail of their actions, including how they speak and think, etc.
All are in line with the customs and habits of the target country.
The advantage of doing this is that it is not easy to be noticed, and it is also very conducive to concealing one's identity.
Whether you are a spy or an agent, you need to conceal your true identity at all times. Success or failure often lies in the details. Once there is a slight difference between what you say and what you show, it will easily lead to counter-espionage in the host country.
The attention of the organization can easily lead to disaster.
Especially during the Cold War, the intelligence struggle between the Eastern and Western camps reached its peak. The spies trained during that period were not comparable to those who graduated from spy schools today.
Obviously, the young man in front of Alexanderkovic happened to catch up with the peak of the Cold War. You can imagine the rigorous training he received in the KGB era, so that he waited for the sun to set on Michelle in front of him.
The people in the empire will know every detail of their behavior and be able to predict their psychological trends.
In Qin Fei's view, although Michelle is a rising star in the intelligence community and has a brilliant record, she is obviously a lot less mature in front of this old fox Alexanderkovic.
Although Michelle herself was not deceived by a kiss on the hand, at least she felt very comfortable in her heart.
The most powerful thing about a spy is to dismantle the other party's psychological defense, allowing you to unknowingly let down your psychological guard gradually and unknowingly from every smallest detail, almost in one action. Therefore, many people
I think that the former "Crows" or "Swallows" of the KGB are all handsome guys and beauties. In fact, this is not the case. Some of them are not even amazing in appearance. But once such a person sets his sights on you and gets close to you, he (she) will make you feel regretful for meeting you.
a feeling of.
It can be seen that one of the most important courses in espionage is psychology, which is almost a required course.
"Colonel, you're very grateful." Michelle said calmly.
Qin Fei knew that Alexanderkovic's military rank was colonel. This was intelligence information that Michelle had already shown Qin Fei.
For Alexanderkovic's age, the rank of colonel is actually not high at all. Michel is only just thirty and is already a major. I'm afraid he will become a colonel in a few years.
However, anyone who knows the KGB or a secret intelligence agency like the FBS will know that the gold content of the rank of colonel is not comparable to that of colonels in the ordinary army.
Although in the KGB era or the current FSB era, their military ranks still follow the military rank system, the military rank system of this kind of intelligence agency is more complicated, because the agency includes the border defense force, which is managed according to the ordinary military rank system, and the intelligence department rank
In layman's terms, the special system means "seeing officers one level higher", which means that when interacting with ordinary officers, they can command officers one to two levels higher than him in rank without authorization without obtaining authorized orders.
This means that Alexanderkovic actually looks like a colonel, but if he were placed in the army, his rank would not be lower than a major general.
"I think you have come from such a far distance, why don't you take a rest? I will arrange for you to prepare some dinner. After eating, you can take a rest here temporarily. We will hold a briefing later?" Alexanderkovic spoke politely.
He was polite and his tone of voice was not cold, but rather warm.
Qin Fei glanced at Michelle, who said: "No, our time is still relatively precious, so I suggest eating while having a meeting. I think work requires it, Colonel, you won't mind, right?"
"Oh! Of course I don't mind, I admire you." Alexanderkovic said: "What I admire most are people who work hard." (To be continued)
