No one knows how big the secret society is, perhaps only the secret society itself knows. But their sphere of influence is all over the United States. Although they have not reached the point where they can control the entire United States, they are definitely a political force that cannot be underestimated.

The Soviet Union knew about the existence of the secret society for some reason, so they sent their strongest agents to investigate this matter. If they could master the secret society, the significance to the Soviets would be self-evident.

Of course, whether this matter can succeed or not.

That is an unknown number.

In short, there is a female agent named Katharina. She used her charm to infiltrate the US government step by step, and at this time, she met a man. This person is Raymond.

At that time, Raymond had just graduated from the Naval Academy and joined the Naval Intelligence Agency. He was favored by many people because of his family background and ability. He himself began to develop in the intelligence community. At that time, he was transferred to Washington to become a member of the military intelligence agency. It was also at this time that he met Katharina.

Then the two got to know each other, fell in love, and finally got married.

It was also at this time that Catalina finally made a breakthrough. She infiltrated the key point of the secret society through Raymond's network of contacts, next to a senior senator. In a few years, she collected enough intelligence.

This intelligence contains a lot of evidence of the secret society's illegal actions and scandals.

Its name is called Singularity!

The Singularity was not created by the secret society itself. Why would they create such a big bomb for themselves if they are not sick? All this was done by Catalina, and of course she did not do it alone. She did not have that ability. At that time, the Soviet Union sent a whole intelligence team. Catalina was the action commander.

Among them was Catalina's best friend.

In short, in short, a group of Soviets investigated in the United States and really came up with something that could shake the entire US government... If they succeeded, the entire situation of the US-Soviet hegemony would change.

Of course, the Soviet Union would not be stupid enough to make it public when they got it. They would only find the secret society. Then cooperation... In fact, it is control. In this way, the US government will be unilaterally transparent to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union can even influence the US decision-making level to some extent.

What a great temptation this is.

The secret society is not stupid, they soon found out about this.

Then there is nothing new, hunting, counter-espionage.

Finally, Catalina can no longer hide.

"Oh, this is the singularity. But is this thing still useful?" Kai asked curiously. Kai is not worried about this thing at all. Even if it can destroy the United States, what can it do? Kate doesn't care! He just simply thinks that these years have passed. Are these things really useful?

It has been more than 20 years. According to the average life expectancy of old American politicians, those people should have died long ago, right? What this means is that the average age of American politicians is very old. If we look at the most important legislative body in the United States, it is undeniable that Congress is indeed getting older. According to data from the Washington Post, the median age of members of this congress is 59 years old. The median age of senators is as high as 65 years old, the highest in history. Although younger members have been elected since 2000, the older generation still dominates Congress.

On Capitol Hill, "baby boomers" (born between 1946 and 1964) account for nearly half of the members. CNN said that over the past few decades, the number of members under 50 has dropped sharply, while the number of members over 70 has increased significantly. In the Senate, the number of members over 70 and the number of members under 50 are record-breaking. A poll conducted by YouGov last year showed that most Americans support age limits for elected officials, but there are differences on the specific age limit. According to YouGov analysis, if the age limit is set at 60, 71% of senators will not be able to serve, and if it is set at 70, 30% of members will be disqualified.

An analytical article in the Financial Times pointed out that one explanation is that Americans are getting older, and voters over 65 are generally more enthusiastic about voting than younger voters. And voters generally prefer candidates who are "close to their own age." In other words, aging countries are prone to producing elderly politicians.

"There are no restrictions on the term and age of US congressmen because the US parliamentary system originated from the Senate of ancient Rome. The Senate is a place where anyone with sufficient qualifications in all aspects can serve. This has been passed down in the United States. The seniority advantage of elderly politicians and their appeal to voters are difficult to shake." Wang Chong told the Chao News reporter that in recent years, Rubio and other congressmen have proposed to impose term limits on congressmen, but it has always been "much ado about nothing". "So in theory, US congressmen can serve forever, until they are old or die."

"Many people always think that the United States is a society that emphasizes the rule of law, but in fact, the United States emphasizes human relationships. After a person gains an advantage in a certain constituency, if there is no particularly big accident, he will continue to be elected." Wang Chong emphasized that Americans are very nostalgic. "If you come into contact with Americans, you will find that they always say 'we have known each other for 10 years, 20 years', and they take this very seriously. This character of Americans is also an important reason why their congressmen can be re-elected until they are very old."

On the other hand, congressmen are also reluctant to leave their positions.

"The Senate is such a warm, comfortable place, you can live in this greenhouse." Jim Manley, who has worked for some senior senators, said, "The staff is always on call, and they can open the door for you at any time." . The New York Times quoted a former aide to a congressman as saying that there is an interdependence between politicians and staff. If a senator retires, dozens of employees throughout his or her office may lose their jobs. Facing the absolute advantage of elderly politicians, the vast majority of young people in politics are overwhelmed. Frost, a 25-year-old Democrat in Florida, even needs to drive an online ride-hailing service to subsidize the many expenses of being a politician.

Being in politics in the United States is very expensive, because it requires a lot of extensive entertainment, including treating people to dinner, participating in constituency activities, etc., which cannot be covered by a member's salary. Many young congressmen in Washington cannot even afford to rent a house because, relatively speaking, wages in Washington are relatively low and rents are high. Therefore, the living conditions of young congressmen, especially members of the House of Representatives, are very bad, and congressmen at the state level are equivalent to free voluntary labor, with little to gain.

In addition, James Curry, a political scientist at the University of Utah, pointed out that the overall aging of the U.S. population, the rising cost of running for office, and the declining competitiveness of congressional districts and Senate seats are the three main reasons that prevent the younger generation from being elected as members. This can also explain an "inversion" phenomenon: Although "millennials" are the most populous generation in the United States, they are one of the smallest groups that make up Congress.

In fact, this situation is not new, but has been like this since a long time ago. It's just that because medical technology in the past was not as advanced as it is now, there were very few old men and women who were too old. After all, people are confused, so how can they stand for election?

But now? Congress is full of old men in their eighties, and there are also some in their nineties.

The youngest of the group at the time was probably in their sixties, so it wouldn't be surprising at all if they got burped... The most important thing about intelligence is timeliness. Information without timeliness is not as effective as rumors.

"No...many of them are still alive, and that's not how things work out. But the Secret Society has always existed, and their expansion model has not changed. As long as the person who gets the singularity can capture one of them A bunch of handles can be pulled out at any time, so as long as there are still people alive in the original group, the effect of the singularity will still be useful! What's more, the secret society was already cultivating new people... Now these people are probably also there! Just sixty or so, right in the middle of the year.”

Well, for American politicians, sixty is indeed the right time. After all, a man in his twenties and eighties is still running for president.

"Okay, the singularity is somewhat useful. What's next?"

"Next..." Raymond was silent for a long time before finally raising his head: "About Nick Fury's last threat. Regarding the secret of my identity... In fact, Raymond has died long ago. I am not Raymond. "

Kai narrowed his eyes, this was a surprise. Kai didn't expect this turn of events.

"Then your relationship with Elizabeth..."

"She is my daughter and I am her mother."

"Oh...huh?!!!" Kai almost didn't react.

Isn't it good? But Mad?

What the hell! !

"You..." Kai looked at Raymond carefully. He never saw that he was a woman.

"Don't be surprised, I just changed my gender and had plastic surgery. I am Catalina." Raymond is still very masculine even now! (Actually, I didn’t watch the rest of The Blacklist at all. I couldn’t stand watching the fifth season. I really couldn’t stand the heroine. She was so stupid and sweet. She was just a compliment. She was such a douchebag and was doing it all the time, so even if I I like red very much, but I can't stand liz anymore, so I just gave up on the show. A female protagonist can make me give up on a show. I like the series very much, but you can imagine how much I hate this female protagonist. In addition, this American TV series "Black China Black" was too naked and made me feel physically uncomfortable, so I simply gave up on it. Regarding the fact that Raymond is a woman. , I later watched it online without checking the series. I thought the setting was interesting, so I wrote it like this.)

"Wait a minute...you are Catalina, what about Raymond?!!"

"Dead. To protect Elizabeth. I was being chased. I arrived late. I killed the killer, buried Raymond, and faked the scene to make everyone think it was me who died. I escaped. It was Raymond who took away everything from him and lived in front of everyone in his appearance.”

In fact, it was Catalina's unlucky fault. She happened to be experiencing drastic changes in Eastern Europe at that time... Wasn't this bad luck? Even after getting the information, she didn't know who to give it to. After all, the impact of the drastic change was so great that even Catalina didn't know whether those people in the country were humans or ghosts. She couldn't go back.

So I can only pretend to be Raymond.

It took Kai a long time to recover from the news...

He just wanted to ask.

"Who did you ask for the surgery? Why is it... so similar?" If the information Kai obtained is correct, Raymond has no shortage of women, and he has not heard of any strange rumors about him, so how did he fool him? In the past, so many years.

"He's dead. After all, I can't trust anyone else. But I have to say that his death is definitely a huge loss to the medical community, at least to transgender medicine. His skills are very good. There are no side effects." Raymond smiled generously: "Raymond knew a lot of strange people a long time ago. They... many of them are Raymond's friends. Now they are also my friends."

"A woman disguised as a man, disguised for so many years, and there is no flaw at all... It's really..." Kai didn't know how to describe it.

Cruel enough!

"I'm an agent, disguise is a basic skill, and... I'm used to it. When I was very young, I wondered why I'm not a man, how cool it is to be a man. Well, now I've done it, and it doesn't feel so bad."

This is of course nonsense.

After all, some things are not as simple as they sound, and many things require a little bit of getting used to.

Fortunately, Raymond is really used to it.

"Well, I won't comment on this. No wonder your daughter is so bad, a loving mother often spoils her child."

Kai finally understood why Elizabeth was so unreliable at the age of 40. Her emotions were spoiled by Raymond.

"Elizabeth is not that bad, right? She is kind and compassionate..."

Well, Raymond couldn't say anything more.

For people like them, this thing can't be said to be good, at least it is definitely not enough to survive.

"I just don't want her to live that kind of dangerous life. I didn't expect that she would get into the FBI...I didn't expect it."

It was definitely not Raymond's plan for Elizabeth to join the FBI, but who knows what this girl is thinking. She just wants to join. What's worse is that this girl's vision of looking at men is really not very good. Her husband is a multi-faceted spy, but Elizabeth fell into it. She also thinks that her husband was forced and helpless, and he is a good person.

This makes Raymond speechless...Those who were killed by his husband definitely have something to say.

However, it turns out that parents can never beat their children... She could only accept it with a pinch of her nose.

"Forget it, this is your own business, I am too lazy to say anything, but if you ask me, let her resign quickly. This level... If the FBI doesn't treat her as cannon fodder, there must be something wrong with the world. Go to work, our old friend can't wait."

Intelligence is really easy for Raymond. He knows a lot of people. These people seem inconspicuous, but they are well-informed. It's just that ordinary people don't pay attention to them at all.

Soon Raymond got the information from a friend who sells arms in New York.

"It's the high table!" Raymond called Nick Fury.

"High table?!!" Nick Fury was also confused. He has no grudges with the high table... At least he thinks there are no grudges. SHIELD has attacked the high table before, but later gave up. It's not that they can't beat it, but that there is no need.
