Chapter 1319 Prove It
The life of the Eagle Country Intelligence Agency is getting more and more difficult now, because the central region is fighting, and the current war situation is becoming more and more anxious. People of insight have already seen that the declaration of the Ministry of National Defense to end the fighting before May is empty talk.
They simply do not have the capability to end this war, at least not without the use of nuclear weapons. I heard that the Secretary of Defense has advised the President to drop a hydrogen bomb on the central region. But it takes time to produce and assemble hydrogen bombs, because no country other than China has the power to keep hydrogen bombs. This is not because Eagle Country has no money, but mainly because of the different configurations of nuclear weapons. China's hydrogen bomb is the only configuration that can be stored for a long time without decay.
Although the Eagle Country was the first country to manufacture a hydrogen bomb, its configuration is different from that of China, and the daily maintenance of the hydrogen bomb is a huge expense.
Of course, as rumors circulated in the Intelligence Bureau, there are actually a batch of strategic-level hydrogen bombs stored in Eagle Country. The Ministry of Defense spends a lot of money to maintain and store it every year, and it needs to spend a lot of money every year to maintain these hydrogen bombs and keep them in a state of combat readiness.
Of course, this is just a rumor, no one knows whether it is true or not. However, there are still a lot of atomic bombs and neutron bombs and various other tactical nuclear weapons in Eagle Country.
But according to DoD speculation, tactical-grade nuclear weapons would be of limited use in this war. Because according to experiments on the demons that have been captured, their tolerance to nuclear radiation is extremely strong, more than hundreds of times that of humans. And high-level demons are almost completely unafraid of nuclear radiation.
In this way, the greatest damage of nuclear weapons: nuclear radiation, is not worth mentioning to demons. What can really kill those demons is the high temperature, high pressure, strong light and strong wind when the nuclear weapon explodes.
That's why a minister of defense proposed to drop an atomic bomb directly to inflict huge damage on those demons. Their combat method is still like the medieval combat method of human beings, and they are used to large-scale group combat. This method of combat is very suitable for tough battles and decisive battles.
But human beings have now entered into the cooperative combat concept of small-scale small clusters. At this time, if nuclear weapons are dropped on large-scale concentrated demons, the lethality obtained cannot be underestimated.
However, the proposal rejected by His Excellency the President has no intention of pressing the nuclear button at all. According to the Constitution of the Eagle State, only the president of this country is qualified to order the use of nuclear weapons, and no one else can sign any orders related to the use of nuclear weapons under any circumstances.
This is a right and a scapegoat. Whoever dropped the atomic bomb will be blamed. This has always been the case.
The president said that I will not take the scapegoat, and your military department can just fight with peace of mind. Tactical-grade nuclear weapons can still be used, neutron bombs and the like. But forget about atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.
Of course, these things cannot completely shake the Intelligence Bureau. After all, the power of the Intelligence Bureau has been expanded after the war. Entering a state of war, the Intelligence Bureau has more power.
It's just that after all the agents in the Asian region died last time, and the bodies were sent to the intelligence bureau, the previous intelligence chief was taken away in the afternoon.
It is said that he was tried in secret, as if he went to prison to pick up soap. Not to mention, although the previous director was a bit older, he was well maintained, with delicate skin and tender flesh, so he should be very popular in the prison. Maybe he can still be the one who pulls the pocket of the boss's jeans.
Of course, these are all gossip. The intelligence agency now has a new director named Wilson. It is said that the ancestor was an old British nobleman. His way of doing things is also very British aristocratic style. If anyone goes to work with a suit and tie that doesn't match, he will yell at him.
Of course, Wilson does things like the old-school British nobles, who like to be strict. Everything must go through the process, a document must go through the entire process, and a task cannot be completed without skipping permissions and processes. In his view, correct procedure is more important than correct result.
Wilson's famous quote: "If you don't follow the rules, you will be abandoned by the rules."
So since Wilson came to power, everyone in the Intelligence Bureau has had a much harder life. Especially for agents performing field missions, it has become extremely troublesome to reimburse expenses now.
Today is another ordinary day for the intelligence bureau. After Director Wilson took office, there is no relaxed atmosphere in the bureau, and everyone is nervous.
Director Wilson came to the bureau on time at nine o'clock again, and the office assistant brought him black coffee that was just fifty degrees Celsius, as well as smoked salmon bagels. Helping the leader buy meals is also one of the assistant's jobs.
"Director, what needs to be done today is the European intelligence wiretapping plan. At present, we have wiretapped the leaders of 22 European countries, and their mobile phones and cars have our wiretapping devices. Should we continue? To expand the scope of eavesdropping, do we need to install cameras in their toilets and bathrooms?"
Wilson took a sip of coffee: "Pretend, don't let them have any blind spots. I need to know exactly what color pants the owner of No. 10 Down Street wears every day, and what woman he sleeps with every day."
"Okay." The assistant quickly turned the file to the next page: "Our wiretapping work in Russia is not going well. The KGB has fought us many times, and the front requires us to support people."
"No manpower, give them some money. Give them more. Let them buy enough vodka and goulash to win over the KGB." Wilson set the policy.
The assistant wrote it down, and then turned the page again: "Then there is Central and South America. The CRRC's force is continuing to expand. Do we need to suppress it?"
"No, those big conglomerates in our country are the ones who really can't sit still. They have lost a lot of industries in Central and South America. Take a senior deputy director to talk to them. We help them deal with diplomatic matters and let them do it themselves Spend money on mercenaries or their private security team to solve this matter. If they want, we can help them buy some military weapons for them." Wilson has already entered his office.
He sat on the chair behind his desk and opened his smoked salmon bagel. He looked at his assistant: "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to have breakfast, you should go out."
The assistant turned the notepad to the last page: "The director has one more thing."
"Um?"
"Our agents in Asia have received news. Thirty Asian agents, including Lin Changjie, are still alive. They are now encountering difficulties and ask us to allocate a sum of money for assistance." The assistant said that there was some hesitation.
Wilson raised his eyebrows: "I thought all the agents in Asia were dead because of the wrong leadership of the previous director. Can you be sure whether they are real or fake?"
"It should be true..." The assistant was not very sure.
Wilson knocked on the table: "How much assistance do they need?"
"To...to..."
"Say, how much do you want?"
"They want an aid of ten million eagle dollars." The assistant said quickly.
Wilson showed no expression of emotion. He lifted the smoked salmon bagel and took a bite and chewed slowly. After eating this bite, he didn't say whether to give it or not, but said: "Let them prove it first, they They are themselves."
