Chapter 651 Use Force
What he heard during the eavesdropping was too shocking, so after going back, Yang Yi couldn't wait to recount everything he heard to Brian.
"Nuclear warhead?"
Brian asked in surprise, and then said with a look of surprise: "Nuclear warhead, Big Ivan actually has a nuclear warhead in his hand?"
"I don't know, I just heard Kirk Doyle and Jetro say that."
Brian scratched his head and frowned: "I have been away from the CIA for too long. I was imprisoned when the Soviet Union collapsed, so I really don't know what happened during that time, but it goes as you said. Look, maybe Big Ivan really does have a nuclear warhead.”
Yang Yi whispered: "It's okay if two arms dealers start a war and involve the United States. Now that some nuclear warheads have emerged, this will cause big trouble."
"Trouble? What's the trouble? If there's trouble, it's not ours."
After saying something calmly, Brian whispered: "L, female, sent by the CIA, but from the way you describe it, this is not what the person in charge of crisis management sent by the CIA should do, even if No matter how degenerate the CIA has been over the years, it cannot send such a frivolous person to take charge of such a major crisis. You have to understand that if there is a possibility of a nuclear crisis, the CIA will definitely send a veteran to handle it. And that L, her words There were too many secrets leaked, and even if Djokovic was behind the CIA, L would never admit it directly."
After finishing speaking, Brian said with a puzzled look on his face: "Has the CIA changed its style over the years? But it's impossible. It's impossible to just change the decades-old tradition."
Yang Yi spread his hands and said: "You don't understand, and I don't understand even more."
After Brian thought hard for a long time, he whispered: "L made a big mistake, that is, she said she had more important things to do. Since she was here to kill Big Ivan, what else could she do? Ivan is more important? So Kirk Doyle’s suspicion is correct. The only thing more important than Ivan is the nuclear bomb. To be precise, Ivan has the ability to send nuclear bombs into the United States. In this way, whether it is for the United States For the president or the CIA, the life and death of Big Ivan is actually not that important anymore, and preventing nuclear bombs from being transported into the United States is the most important."
Yang Yi whispered: "Is it possible?"
Brian smiled bitterly: "How is it impossible? The most difficult part of a nuclear bomb is to manufacture it, and the second most difficult part is to preserve and maintain it. The Soviet Union produced tens of thousands of nuclear warheads. When the Soviet Union existed, then these nuclear warheads were safe Yes, but the Soviet Union is gone. If a batch of nuclear warheads are really lost, it will be a disaster. A nuclear warhead is actually not that big, and the U.S. border is so long. It really is not that difficult for someone to send a few nuclear bombs into the United States. The important thing about this kind of thing is to control the source, but since Big Ivan is the source, it’s really troublesome.”
Yang Yi whispered: "If Ivan the Great really transports nuclear bombs into the United States, will the United States surrender?"
Brian said without hesitation: "If Big Ivan is crazy and transports nuclear bombs into the United States and directly causes a nuclear explosion, then the United States will never give in. But as long as Big Ivan is not crazy and he transports nuclear bombs into the United States, If it is not used but is only used to threaten the US government, the US will definitely give in. It will never give in on the surface, but it will bow its head secretly. As long as Big Ivan’s request is not particularly excessive, think about it, there are nuclear bombs in the United States. Explosion, God, who can bear it."
Yang Yi sighed: "In other words, Ivan the Great has not succeeded yet, otherwise the war with Ivan the Great would be over."
"Yes, Big Ivan has definitely not succeeded yet, that's why L is eager to find the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb, and that's why L left Big Ivan at the port in Odessa to monitor an exposed warehouse and shipping channel , it is definitely easier than guarding against a route that Big Ivan hides or temporarily changes."
Yang Yi fell silent, and Brian also fell into deep thought. After a long time, Brian suddenly said: "No, it's still wrong. That's not how the CIA does things. Faced with this kind of crisis, the CIA wants to send everyone to Ukraine." If the manpower is tight, there will be no shortage of manpower. Even if the manpower is tight, how can such an important figure as Kanchelski be entrusted to an arms dealer?"
Yang Yi could only spread his hands. Although Brian had left the CIA for many years, he must be more familiar with the CIA. Since he couldn't understand it, Yang Yi must not understand it even more.
"The CIA is responsible for foreign countries and the FBI is responsible for domestic affairs. Although sometimes the FBI will extend its hand, this kind of thing is definitely not something that the FBI can intervene in. The Pentagon? Impossible. The Pentagon will only provide force support. In such a big crisis, I believe it is absolutely The most elite troops of the military have arrived in Ukraine, but L can never be from the Pentagon. The Pentagon is not good at this kind of thing, and it is not something they can intervene in, so who is it..."
Yang Yi thought for a while and whispered: "Uh, Department of Homeland Security?"
Brian suddenly looked at Yang Yi and said, "Department of Homeland Security?"
Yang Yi swallowed and said: "Yes, after the 9/11 incident, the newly established federal administrative department of the United States in 2002 was specifically responsible for domestic security and counter-terrorism in the United States. However, the Department of Homeland Security does not seem to operate abroad."
Brian clapped his hands and said with a sudden look on his face: "I didn't know that a Department of Homeland Security was established. Yes, that's it. The CIA messed up things last time, so the president no longer trusted the CIA, and this operation disappeared. The Department of Homeland Security must be responsible, but it must be that someone from the Department of Homeland Security was parachuted in to the CIA to be responsible for this operation. There is precedent for this kind of thing. When the president no longer trusts the CIA and must use the CIA, the easiest way is Just parachute a trusted person to the CIA."
Brian looked at Yang Yi and said: "Preventing nuclear bomb attacks is definitely the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security. Also, the establishment of a new department is usually due to extreme dissatisfaction with the old department. At that time, it was out of dissatisfaction with the FBI and The CIA was born out of necessity. After 911, the Department of Homeland Security was established out of dissatisfaction with the CIA. You have to know that a newly established department often recruits many good people, and the newly established department must be the most trusted. But the Department of Homeland Security is ultimately responsible for domestic security. It does not have the experience and manpower for large-scale overseas operations, nor does it have the authority to operate overseas, so it makes sense to select someone from the Department of Homeland Security to go to the CIA!"
Yang Yi shrugged and said, "What you said makes sense. Since you think L is not from the CIA, then she can only be from the Department of Homeland Security. The question is what should we do next?"
Brian pondered for a long time, then he laughed, shook his head and said, "Don't do anything, just do what we should do. Just wait and see, this time the United States will really show its strength."
It’s the holidays and I’m spending two days playing with my family, so there will be two updates today and tomorrow. Please understand.
