This video is the latest that Ximen has sent to the Counter-Terrorism Agency.
The video is only three minutes long.
The masked man Simon made two demands in the video: first, stop the attack on the castle immediately; second, let Anthony, the current president of the Brotherhood of Holy Cross, come to the castle for negotiations.
After watching the entire video, the atmosphere of the meeting became even more bizarre.
"Everyone, what do you think of Ximen's request?"
No one answered Greene.
"Don't think that our intelligence department really knows nothing about the inside story, and don't rush to deny your connection with the Brotherhood of the Holy Cross. Although we don't have much contact with this legendary killer organization, according to our
According to the information we have, its headquarters is somewhere outside Berlin."
"Director Leo, did I make a mistake?" Green looked at BND Deputy Director Leo.
Leo said with a noncommittal expression: "This kind of secret organization has an elusive whereabouts, and no one knows exactly where they are stationed."
Green said: "Ten minutes ago, the special forces tried to break into the castle through a secret passage, but failed. Two people died and three were injured. Now it seems that Ximen has strong intelligence support and he knows everything here.
, even able to target our police rapid response team members from the beginning, intercept them on the road, and then pretend to be members of the rapid response team to infiltrate our interior, and can also penetrate into a large security company like GMT. This case
Things are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface. I think you know very well why Simon asked Anthony to appear in the castle immediately to negotiate with him, because he knows that Berlin is very close to here and it is only a two-hour flight away."
"General Green, since you mentioned this, I can reveal some information I know."
Ms. M said: "According to our intelligence data, although Ximen was the leader of the Twelve Apostles of the Brotherhood, half a year ago, his action plan was leaked during an assassination mission in Moscow, and he was almost killed in an ambush, so
He felt that Anthony had betrayed him. This matter was a personal grudge. As an intelligence organization, it is impossible for us to get involved in the private grudges of these underground organizations."
"Is it really a personal grudge?" Of course the cunning Greene would not believe what M said. He sensed that something was unusual, but the heads of these famous intelligence agencies were pretending to be innocent.
"The intelligence I received shows that the origin at this time is not us, but you."
"Green, can I take your words as an accusation?" Jean-Paul from DGSE said coldly: "Everything must be based on evidence."
"I really don't have conclusive evidence, but I know that everyone here is not innocent."
Green said: "I don't want to argue with you. Let me talk about my own bargaining chip. You know very well that once His Highness Gustav makes any mistake, the royal family will definitely demand accountability, and I will report everything I know to the president."
And the King. Once it reaches this point, it means that you people in this country and all institutions in our territory will become persona non grata, and even change our country's always neutral position. You know what I mean.
"
Ms. M's expression changed, and then she said: "Green, we need some time to discuss. You will get our answer in fifteen minutes."
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply. I hope it won't be too long." Green looked at his watch and said: "Things are getting worse. The media all over the world are staring at us. I think there is no need to make the matter a big deal.
Everyone is so embarrassed, right?"
He stood up, left the chair, turned around and walked out the door.
Everyone on the LCD screen also left the screen.
On the balcony in the corridor, Major General Green couldn't help but ask Linda: "Did you bring cigarettes?"
"Bring it..." Linda was stunned. Green had quit smoking for nearly three years, and this was the first time in three years that he had started smoking again.
Green took Linda's cigarette, lit one, took a few puffs, and puffed out thick white smoke.
"Your old friend in BND, can you get us some hard goods? I need evidence." Green said.
Linda shook her head: "He has provided basic intelligence, but regarding the reasons behind this matter, his level is too low and he cannot access relevant information. It is said that it involves a recent joint secret operation in the NATO intelligence organization.
Codenamed 'Weasel', it is a high-level top secret."
"Oh? About what type?" Green asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know." Linda said, "But he mentioned that the operation was targeted at the Russian side."
"Russia?" Green was stunned again, "Are you worth the KGB?"
"Generally, the KGB is indispensable for this kind of thing." Linda said.
"Damn it! But why get us involved? What on earth do we have here that is worthy of their attack?" Green looked at the night sky in the distance. The few faintly flashing stars had an unreal feeling, as if he wanted to catch it but couldn't.
The unstoppable truth.
"General, do you think they will accept our suggestions and be honest with us?" Linda asked.
Green snorted coldly and said: "I think they will weigh the importance themselves. NATO has never dealt with Russia. We are neutral. Once our policy tilts and treats them as hostile, Russia will be happy."
Seeing the result, for them, our neutrality is beneficial to these NATO countries."
After speaking, he looked at his watch.
"It's almost time, let's go in."
The LCD screens in the video conference room lit up again.
All the intelligence chiefs returned to the video link on time.
"How are you thinking about it?" Green asked: "I hope there will be a result that makes everyone happy."
"Let me talk about this matter." Passi, the head of the CIA's contact center, said: "First of all, what I want to tell General Green is that this matter was not our original intention. We are sorry that such an unexpected incident occurred.
The situation, the current chaotic situation, is not what we want to see, and we also know why Simon wants to see Anthony, but I can also tell you clearly, General Green, that Anthony will not come to Stockholm to see Simon."
"I want to know what led to today's situation." Green said: "I hope you can cooperate with us sincerely."
"Behind the whole thing, the KGB is actually operating. The Gravedigger organization is not an ordinary underground organization. Behind it is the KGB. It belongs to a peripheral organization under their control." Passi said: "Of course, no one will
We found evidence that the KGB authorized the grave diggers, but the cause of the matter is indeed related to us and involves a counterinsurgency operation called 'Weasel'."
