Chapter 769 Limited Effect
Aaron, codenamed Lighthouse, took the initiative to contact the KGB for the first time on November 5, 1981. After careful mutual testing, the two parties made their first official contact on January 1, 1982.
The intelligence delivered by Aaron for the first time was very valuable. A CIA spy network that had been rooted in Eastern Europe for many years was directly intercepted, and Aaron did not ask for any reward.
In July 1982, Aaron proactively provided intelligence to the KGB for the second time. A senior Moscow government figure was confirmed to have leaked intelligence to the CIA many times. The KGB dug up a mole of sufficient weight.
After the second contact, Aaron's value was confirmed. It was also after this contact that the KGB provided Aaron with a reward of $50,000, and Yarebin personally met Aaron for the first time in London.
The first meeting failed, and Jarebin failed to meet Aaron.
The third time Aaron passed information to the KGB was in December 1982. This time, his information helped the KGB once again dismantle an intelligence network that had been operated by the CIA for many years.
It was also the third time that Aaron took the initiative to meet with the KGB again. In the same month, Yarebin met Aaron in London, confirmed Aaron's identity, and provided Aaron with a reward of one hundred thousand dollars.
It would be more accurate to say it was a reward rather than a bonus, because the reason Aaron took the initiative to defect was because he loved the Red Soviet Union.
During the meeting, Aaron suggested to Jarebin that he needed some merit to gain a higher status.
At this time, Aaron served as the deputy director of the Intelligence Division of the CIA's European Bureau. His position was not high and he had great power.
Among the CIA's many traitors, the amount of intelligence provided by Aaron is by no means large, but the quality of the information he provides is extremely high. Every time he sends information, it will definitely cause an extremely heavy blow to the CIA. Note, it is an extremely heavy blow.
Needless to say, how difficult it is to build an intelligence line. It can be said that every piece of intelligence provided by Aaron can ruin at least twenty years of efforts by the Americans.
So Aaron proved his worth. Yalebin, who met Aaron in person, personally made suggestions to his superiors and met all Aaron's needs at all costs.
During World War II, the Poles were the first to obtain the secrets of the German Engonima cipher machine, and then handed over all the information they had to the British. Based on what the Poles had obtained, the British completely cracked the Engonima cipher. , in order not to let the Germans know that they had been able to decipher the Engonima code, the British chose to sacrifice a city in Coventry to keep this secret.
For the sake of the Engonima cipher machine, and to continuously obtain German intelligence, the British could have a city razed to the ground.
So what could the Soviets do for intelligence?
The Soviets did not have to pay a city, but the KGB could pay a heavier sacrifice on the intelligence line than a city.
The KGB gave Aaron two separate intelligence networks.
Note, it is an intelligence network.
It is not a line, but a network. They are two intelligence networks that the Soviets have been operating since the end of World War II and successfully operated until the early 1980s. There are no ace spies in them, but they have made significant contributions to the Soviet intelligence front.
The Soviets took the initiative to give their spies to Aaron.
The cost is huge and the rewards are huge.
In May 1983 and February 1984, after achieving a super result every year for two consecutive years, Aaron was promoted to the Director of the Intelligence Division of the European Bureau.
In June 1984, Aaron provided a list, and the KGB arrested three people based on the list.
Each of the three people arrested by the KGB was more than enough to repay his efforts.
In January 1985, Aaron was promoted to deputy director of the CIA's Middle East Bureau.
The intelligence sent by Aaron for the fifth time allowed the KGB to gain a lot in the Middle East.
The sixth time was the time when Brian was treated as a scapegoat. The CIA's Middle East Bureau suffered heavy losses, and its intelligence networks in several countries suffered devastating blows.
Until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Aaron no longer provided intelligence to the Soviet Union. However, according to Aaron's past habit of delivering intelligence, he would not take action without particularly important information. Therefore, this does not mean that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Aaron and Russia Is there still contact?
The information provided by Yarebin details the content and time of the information Aaron gave each time. If this information is given to the CIA, it will definitely not be enough to use as evidence, but as long as the CIA is vigilant enough and does things There is also a rigorous intelligence organization that must at least investigate Aaron.
But the intelligence given by Yarebin was not used in this way, because too much time had passed. As long as Aaron was vigilant enough, he could completely clear his suspicions. After all, the accusations from the enemy must be discounted several times, and in the past Considering Aaron's current status, the role of this information is too limited.
But Yarebin said at the beginning of the information that Aaron should not be treated as a simple double agent. Aaron may be related to the man in gray.
Just such a sentence, Yang Yi is also paying attention to this sentence.
The basis for Yarebin's judgment that Aaron is related to the man in gray is not mentioned at all in this document, but whether it is just speculation or whether Yarebin has some evidence, since he said this There must be a reason.
So Yang Yi thought he had to meet Yalebin again.
But now, Yang Yi felt that it was necessary to deal with Brian and Anastakina's affairs first.
Yang Yi didn't know what Yalebin's definition of a useless person was, but in his opinion, if Brian was a useless person, then there were few people in the world who were not useless people.
But Yarebin is right in saying something, that is, Brian really only has Annastakina in his heart now, so it would be unavoidable for him to get involved in a new job when he first met Annastakina. It's so inhumane.
And it seems that Annastakina also wants to join the water organization, which is a bit difficult to handle.
Rejection is unlikely. Although I don’t know what Annastakina thinks, it seems that she is unwilling to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person. But Annastakina has said goodbye to being a spy for decades, and she can still What to do?
Also, Annastakina’s relationship with the KGB is too deep. God knows whether what she said is true or false. As the minimum requirement of a spy organization, no matter who wants to join this organization, they must first undergo an investigation. Fine.
After much deliberation, Yang Yi thought it would be better to send Brian and Anastakina away first.
Let Brian and Anastakina live in a two-person world. Regardless of whether Brian can renew their old relationship with Anastakina, at least it will give them a chance to be alone and a buffer time.
But Yang Yi really doubted Brian's ability to tell whether Annastakina was reliable.
Things seem to be a little difficult to handle, but the matter between Brian and Anastakina is a trivial matter after all. Just isolate the two of them for a period of time. The most important thing is to see Yarebin, and before meeting Yarebin Before, a gift needed to be given away.
