United States, GIA headquarters.
"Imanka, you let me down."
After reading the report, the kind smile on the face of Director Kerry of the Tang Affairs Bureau disappeared.
Imanka argued: "I know this result is not ideal, but Lagia's residence happened to be hit by a wildfire. You know, there have been too many wildfires recently, and there is nothing we can do."
Yes, I don’t know what happened to Blue Star in recent years. The Amazon rainforest burned, and so did Australia.
The United States inevitably breaks out several large wildfires every year.
Lajia's residence was relatively remote, near a woodland, which was completely burned by a sudden wildfire.
Including Lajia's residence, many nearby residential houses were destroyed by the spreading wildfire.
"I am disappointed that you arrived at Lagia's residence two days late, and the investigation by your people on the Israeli side was lost in the attack itself."
"Director, Israel Mossad refused to inform us of some of the actions being carried out by Director Sabin of the East Africa Division, that's why this happened." Imanka said depressedly.
"This is exactly what disappoints me. As the head of the investigation team, shouldn't you look for information from other sources? Without Moshad's information, can't you find out from our own Africa Department?"
Kerry's tone of voice became a little stern. Under his reading glasses, his eyes stared at Imanka more sharply.
Immanka immediately lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Director, I really didn't think about it."
Seeing Imanka admitting his mistake, Kerry's expression softened and he said: "As an intelligence officer, the most important thing is to be careful and think carefully.
Faced with anything, you have to verify and compare it from multiple angles. Only in this way will the answer emerge on its own.
Only in this way can we not be misled by a certain aspect of information and draw wrong conclusions.”
"Yes, Director, I understand."
"I'll give you another week to see what other aspects have not been investigated before and complete the relevant information."
"Okay, I'll do it right now."
Seeing Imanka turning to leave, Kerry suddenly asked: "Du Qiu was once your ex-boyfriend?"
Immanka paused on her feet and her heart trembled.
Recently, Mengyuan Technology has suddenly overturned the IT industry in the United States, and the whole country has been hotly discussing and criticizing Mengyuan Technology.
Of course its founder Du Qiu was also pulled out and bombarded again.
After all, Du Qiu was still carrying many charges against him by the United States. American public opinion circles gave Du Qiu the nickname, "The Terrifying Richest Man"!
The meaning of terror here is two-fold. One refers to Du Qiu being a terrorist recognized by the United States, and the other refers to the terrifying speed at which this guy makes money.
Turning around, Imanka said calmly: "That happened many years ago, and we no longer have feelings for each other."
Kerry smiled and said, "Really? Why did you call Du Qiu when he was being chased by Rajya?"
Imanka quickly explained: "I didn't know that Rajya was acting at that time, he didn't hide it from me at all.
I just happened to see the news about Du Qiu coming to the United States, so I made the call as a friend. I later wrote an explanatory report on this."
"Does Du Qiu still have feelings for you?" Kerry asked.
Immanka shook his head and said: "No, I went to the Magic City before and met him, but he didn't have any interest in me."
Kerry looked at Imanka, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "You should still have feelings for him. Didn't you help him contact Ailifu Company to sell Mengyuan Technology's environmentally friendly waste treatment equipment?"
Kerry tapped his forehead and looked like he had just remembered, "You made 3 million US dollars in agency fees alone. This business is doing well."
Imanka quickly defended: "Director, I used to lurk the power of nature, and I have a good relationship with these environmental protection equipment companies.
I saw that the environmentally friendly waste treatment equipment produced by Du Qiu and his colleagues were very effective, so I made the deal.
I swear, this is just business, I really have no feelings for him anymore."
Kerry stared at Imanka and said slowly: "Actually, I really hope you have feelings, so maybe you will be a good bait!"
"Ah, Director, do you want to hunt down Du Qiu?"
"Every one of the crimes that the United States has convicted Du Qiu is worthy of Gia's pursuit. Do you know why I stopped the pursuit before?"
Imanka shook her head.
Kerry looked at Imanka and said, "Use your brain, think about it, and give me an answer."
Immanka was stunned and quickly thought about it. After a while, he said: "First, the director had just taken over at that time and needed to stabilize the situation in the bureau.
Secondly, the director believes that the intelligence on the general trend of the Tang Dynasty is more important and needs to be concentrated on dealing with it."
Kerry smiled slightly and said: "Well, he is indeed a little clever. Then tell me, why should I pursue him again now?"
"Due to the threat that Mengyuan Technology poses to our country's IT industry, Du Qiu has become part of the general trend of the Tang Dynasty."
Kerry clapped gently, with a kind expression on his face.
"A child can be taught!"
Kerry immediately asked Immanka's investigation team to include the task of hunting down Du Qiu and re-investigate Du Qiu's whereabouts.
Imanka's heart was filled with ups and downs, showing that she calmly accepted the order.
When Imanka left Kerry's office, Kerry coughed twice.
A person walked out of the lounge behind him.
"Director, do you trust Imanka to hunt down Du Qiu?"
"Stark, while your team continues its existing work, keep an eye on Imanka. I believe she will lead you to Du Qiu."
The man behind him walked across from Kerry. It was Stark, the leader of the action team who was chasing Du Qiu in Lavis City.
"The director is really smart!" Stark praised first, and then said: "However, I think I can catch him this time.
Isn’t there a saying in the Tang Dynasty, ‘The Skynet is as sparse as possible without leakage’? Imanka probably didn’t expect that Lagia would set up the intelligence backup to be automatically sent to me.”
"Don't be careless. Since Du Qiu has undergone plastic surgery and changed his identity, he must be vigilant enough. Your people should not take action first, and let Imanka scare the snake first."
"Yes, Director, everything will be carried out according to your plan."
On this day, Yu Donghua, the president of Zhizhe Technology, and Liu Yaofeng of Mengyuan Technology came to a certain military base in Shanghai.
They received a notice that a military dignitary wanted to see the two of them.
Xingguang Precision, a subsidiary of Mengyuan Technology, has military product production tasks, so it is naturally arranged by the military to have military representatives.
The two of them came to this base accompanied by this military representative.
Liu Yaofeng was the most excited and kept asking the military representative, "Representative Li, please tell us who wants to see us this time."
Representative Li was an unsmiling soldier. He said seriously: "You will know this when you meet the leader."
Liu Yaofeng wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Yu Donghua, "Liu, be quiet, don't make things difficult for Representative Li."
When the two arrived at the base and were led to a certain conference room, not long after, they heard the sound of footsteps.
The two stood up quickly and saw the door open, and a middle-aged soldier of short stature walked in.
Liu Yaofeng saw three gold stars on his epaulette at first glance, and was shocked. This was really a chief.
"Boss, don't be restrained, sit down, sit down quickly!"
The chief said hello, and behind him were several entourages, all of whom were soldiers, with the lowest rank being colonel.
Liu Yaofeng felt that his palms were sweating. This high-level meeting was beyond his expectation.
Although he has met with high-ranking officials and dignitaries as the president of Mengyuan Technology for more than a year, he has never been in contact with senior military officers.
I glanced at Yu Donghua secretly and found that he was wiping his fat hands on his pants and seemed nervous.
After the chief saw everyone sitting down, he said: "My surname is Fang, you can just call me Minister Fang.
I have taken the liberty to invite two bosses here today, and I apologize for any intrusion."
Yu Donghua said quickly: "Commander Fang is too polite, but... I don't know why you invited us here."
Minister Fang turned his head to look at a soldier beside him and said, "Director Ding, please introduce the situation."
Director Ding next to him was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and had a dark complexion. He looked a bit like a shady Bao Gong.
"You two, wait a moment. I'll turn on the projector and show you a video."
Director Ding moved quickly, turned on the projector, connected it to his heavy military laptop, and then a video started playing.
The two of them held their breath for a moment. The picture showed a convoy of three vehicles driving on a mountain road in a mountainous area.
The two vehicles in front and behind are Humvee military vehicles, and the one in the middle is a large military truck covered with canvas.
Apparently this was a US military convoy, and judging from the situation, it seemed to be in the Persian mountains.
Soon, the sudden outbreak of fighting confirmed the two men's thoughts. From both sides of the road, many Persian soldiers poured out and attacked the small convoy.
According to the strength comparison between the two sides in the picture, the probability of this small convoy being wiped out is basically 100%.
Even if the truck in the middle is filled with American soldiers, there are only a few dozen people. Adding the personnel in the two Humvee military vehicles at the front and rear, it still does not exceed a hundred, and the heavy weapons are only the heavy machine guns on the Humvee military vehicles.
But at a preliminary glance, there were nearly two hundred Persian soldiers ambushing on both sides of the road. They also had eight mortars, shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and other heavy weapons.
Of course, if the US military calls for air support, it may be able to support it, but this depends on when the air support arrives.
The attack of the Persian soldiers was very sharp, and the mortar bombardment was very accurate. Only two rounds of shelling had already set the truck on fire. The Humvee at the head was directly hit by the artillery fire, and it burst into flames.
Just when Liu and Yu thought the battle was about to end, they saw a tall figure rushing out of the flames of the military vehicle in the middle.
