"I heard that you are looking for traces of Percy? Don't be surprised. 141 has always been our focus. This unit has made a lot of noise recently, with several frequent actions in succession. If Russia doesn't notice these
, no longer worthy of being an enemy of the United States..."
Owen was really surprised, but he felt relieved after hearing Uri's explanation.
"Yes."
"Let me guess, this guy named Percy must have something that both the United States and Britain want very much..."
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Irving is most annoyed by their behavior. They know what they know and they still pretend.
"Okay, okay, having a bad temper is bad for your health. Let me get right to the point. I know where Percy is. Do you need this information?"
"You? What do I need to pay?"
"Nothing is needed. You should have guessed that this information does not belong to me, but to the KGB. Oh, it should be called the Russian Federal Security Service now. This is a favor returned to you by President Wolfsky...
"
Irving fell silent. He felt that it was not that simple. In other words, he felt that politicians were not that simple.
Who is Volvosky? He is the president of Russia.
Who is Russia? It is the biggest enemy of the United States.
He saved President Wolfsky once, but will the president use national interests to repay the favor?
Don’t be ridiculous, it may be possible in other countries, but absolutely impossible in Russia!
"Don't treat me like an idiot, Ulyanov, you are almost wearing out my patience..."
What Irving dislikes most is dealing with politicians, it’s tiring...
"This is true, everything I said is true..."
"Okay, I don't need to, bye!"
Irving hung up the phone directly. Ulyanov on the other end of the phone stared at the beeping cell phone dumbfounded. What was going on with this kid? Why didn't he play his cards according to the routine? How could he continue to act?
Remembering that this task was personally given to him by the president, Ulyanov's eyes twitched. He was an oligarch. When had he ever been so angry?
But thinking of Owen, he had to bear this anger.
A minute later, Irving's phone rang again, and Irving finally answered the call.
"Okay, let me make a long story short. I have information about Percy and the black box. Percy is hiding in a place called Georgia in northern Russia. It is a base for the Chechen armed forces. He always carries the black box with him..."
"Northern Russia? Occupied territory of Chechnya? This is impossible?"
"This is indeed possible, and we have the photos to prove it."
"Then why don't you do it yourself? Since you know the black box, you should know how much benefit you can get if you get the contents inside..."
Owen still didn't believe it.
"Haha, let me be blunt. We know Percy's identity and the value of the black box, but this thing is poison to Russia. Russia has no friends, but it doesn't want more enemies. You understand what I'm saying.
?”
What Ulyanov said was not very clear, but Irving understood it instantly.
"The black box can be seen as the pigtails of each country. No matter who it is, mastering the black box is equivalent to holding the pigtails of each country and can exchange it with other countries. This person can be anyone, but it cannot be Russia.
Russia's diplomatic situation is just as Ulyanov said, they have no friends, only a powerful enemy and a bunch of the other side's little brothers.
Those younger brothers may have an unfriendly attitude towards Russia, but most of them follow the boss and yell at them. But if Russia really masters the black box, those hostile younger brothers who were just yelling will definitely become lifelong fans in an instant, and Russia will gain more than it loses.
As it happened, Angel was the only one who had not done any dirty work for Russia, so Russia had no fear of the black box falling into the hands of others, so he simply took advantage of the situation.
Put it this way, this information was really given to Owen for free.
Irving was suspicious that it would be okay for Russia not to take action themselves. If they did, it would be unclear whether they would succeed or not, so they informed the United States of the information through Irving and asked the United States to help them deal with this hot potato, and the United States
I'd definitely be happy to do so.
Irving didn't know when the call was disconnected, and he couldn't think of any dark tricks behind Russia's actions.
It is not impossible for Russia to use him to trick the United States. Personal grudges really mean nothing in the face of national interests.
Russia obviously used him as a middleman. Irving decided to report the matter to the top US officials. How to judge was their business.
Owen made a quick decision and took out his phone to call the CIA liaison office.
On the same day, he boarded a business jet sent by the CIA and flew directly to Washington, DC.
A few hours later, Irving appeared in the Pentagon conference room. Senior generals from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps were all here. Irving also saw the Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Barnes.
Everyone sat around the conference table, looking like a three-chamber trial, and on the big screen in the middle was David Palmer's live connection.
Owen stood still and looked around. He knew everyone here. He had held many meetings in this conference room before, but this was the first time as a civilian.
"Agent Owen, oh, sorry, Mr. Owen, could you please repeat what you said about Percy on the phone before..."
The first person to speak was the Secretary of Defense, and the others looked at him with sharp eyes. Irving nodded, but he did not repeat anything, but directly took out his mobile phone and turned on the audio to return the interview. He has always had a good habit of recording.
The complete conversation between Irving and Ulyanov rang out on the phone. This is the safest way to keep everyone guessing. As for his relationship with Russia, his relationship with President Lovsky, and his relationship with Ulyanov, in
Everyone here knows clearly what Russia did during the period, and there is no need to hide it.
After the recording was played, everyone started whispering among themselves and making various comments.
"This must be a conspiracy. If we send troops, we will enter the Russian border. They must want to make a fuss about this..."
"I think their reasons are legitimate, but should we just go with the flow..."
"Are you kidding us, playing with fire with our own and our allies' secrets? If Russia really makes those situations public, how many countries do you think will choose to follow the United States' footsteps?"
There were people with all kinds of opinions, and the conference room was like a vegetable market, full of noise.
"Owen, what do you think?"
In the chaos, President Palmer, who was connected to the Internet, suddenly asked. The conference room immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Irving.
Owen shrugged: "I have no objection. I am only responsible for delivering the intelligence. As for whether the intelligence is reliable and how to deal with it, that is your business. I am just a small citizen now, so I will not express my opinion..."
