Chapter 107 Sphere of Influence
Chapter 107 Sphere of Influence
Everyone was willing to use their own money to pave the way. Greens was on the right track, his vision was broadened, and his future became bright.
Gao Yi went in first. He didn't say anything, but just said to a few people: "All of you come out."
Several people, including the five lucky ones who were rescued, all came outside the hut.
It's not yet fully light and it's not too hot outside.
"How about it?"
Luca asked softly in Gao Yi's ear, then he looked back with a little concern and said, "Let him solve it?"
"Yes."
Luca was slightly relieved. He heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, "Let him come. We'll wait."
Suddenly, a loud scream was heard in the house. Although the voice was very small and faint because it was very close to the cabin, the sharpness and pitch of the scream could still be distinguished at once.
Luca was stunned for a moment and said, "It would only take one move to kill him, why is he screaming so miserably?"
Gao Yi didn't explain to Luca alone. He raised his voice and said to the people in front of him, "It's okay, it's just a routine question."
Several people didn't dare to say anything, because these mercenaries who had a good relationship with Lin Xianghua also knew that the current situation was definitely different from what they were familiar with before.
The sharp and short scream turned into a continuous and long scream. The scream was ups and downs and it was impossible to make out the tone, but it was certain that the plunderer was in a miserable state. He was really miserable.
About half an hour later, the sky became a little brighter, but the temperature had not risen yet.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened.
Is it over?
Glass was standing at the door. He said to Gao Yi hurriedly, "Come in and help me."
How else could Gao Yi help? He could only go into the house. Then, he saw Glass whispering to him with ecstasy on his face: "This guy, really! He really sold intelligence to Iran!"
A little unexpected, but not too unexpected.
The surprise was that the predators were actually able to contact Iran.
Not surprisingly, the plunderer is obviously the kind of person who likes to sell information. In other words, anything and anyone can be maximized in his hands.
Lin Xianghua was hired by the Plunderer Mercenary Group to kill Gray Horace, but after discovering that Gray was not easy to kill, at least it was not a job that the mercenary group could do, the Plunderer decisively sold out his men.
The most important thing is that it was sold for only $10,000, which shows that the predator is a principled person. No matter how much it is, as long as it can be sold, it's good.
Given the extremely greedy nature of the plunderer, would he be willing to hide information that could be sold for a lot of money?
Character determines destiny, and the predator did not deserve to be wronged this time.
"What would happen if he really sold the information?"
In response to Gao Yi's question, Greens said in a tone that sounded almost grateful: "That means he is really a spy! There is no need to frame him, to frame him, to forge evidence, or to force the case with unverifiable confessions. I can send him to the Secret Operations Bureau for a slow trial and get him to say more useful things!"
"Is there going to be no problem?"
Greens, who had learned from his experience, had clearly grasped the essence of maximizing benefits. He whispered, "We have the man in our hands. He is the ironclad evidence of the CIA's incompetence. Of course, there will be no problem."
Gao Yi whispered, "I mean the plunderer must die. If he wants to survive, then the money he took out will be...not so convenient."
Greens grinned, and then he whispered, "It's alive in my hands. Whether it can survive in the hands of my boss depends on whether his boss wants to take the money. I estimate that the process will go to the level of Central Command, and then to the Pentagon. Therefore, the predator cannot leave the Middle East alive."
"What does Central Command mean?"
"The United States has a total of six theater commands and five functional commands. The Defense Covert Operations Agency created by the Pentagon also sets up its operational areas according to the jurisdiction of the theater commands. The Covert Operations Agency and its subordinate units under the theater commands are not under the direct command of the commands, but are under the direct command of the Pentagon."
Greens had to explain to Gao Yi the structure and sphere of influence of their secret operations bureau, because the next action was closely related to the sphere of influence of the secret operations bureau.
“CENTCOM is responsible for the heart of the globe, including Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Yemen.”
After explaining everything in detail, Greens suppressed his joy and said, "We belong to the Central Command's Defense Covert Operations Directorate. My boss is the head of the Iraq branch. I gave him the plunderer, and he handed it over to the Central Command branch. The next step is to go directly to the Pentagon's headquarters, and the headquarters will report to the Pentagon's intelligence department. A maximum of four levels is enough."
It only takes four reports to reach the Pentagon, which is extremely efficient.
Seeing that Gao Yi didn't seem to understand the key points here, Greens could only whisper: "We are newly formed and have too few people. The entire Central Command's Secret Operations Bureau has only more than 100 people, definitely less than 200, but the CIA has at least 5,000 people active in the Middle East, so you understand, our structure is very, very simple, and the transmission of orders from top to bottom is extremely efficient."
Gao Yi only understood the general direction. As for the specific details, he had never done it and had never been involved in it. Now he was confused and had no idea what the difference was between an oversized organization and a streamlined one. Seeing Gao Yi still looking confused, Greens was helpless. He whispered, "If I do a good job this time, I might directly become the highest civilian officer in the Iraq Division."
"The highest civilian official? That means... the second?"
Greens nodded and said, "The Defense Secret Operations Agency is a bit confusing. Because it belongs to the military, the main members are military personnel. They have military ranks. My boss is a major, and I was transferred from the Department of Homeland Security. I am a civilian and have no military rank. Even if I join the military, my rank needs to be calculated from scratch, so I can only be a civilian directly employed by the US military to calculate salary and promotion."
Gao Yi still looked at Greens in confusion. Greens exhaled and said, "I would be fine if I could become the highest civilian official in the region!"
"Then do it."
Greens smiled and said, "The robber refused to tell me where his money was hidden, and refused to tell me his account number and password. I saw that he was very happy to tell other things, but he became very determined to tell these things. So I can't be too anxious. I have to ask him slowly. But this kind of interrogation is not convenient for one person, and I need someone to help."
After finishing speaking, Greens asked seriously: "How is your psychological endurance?"
"well enough."
Greens nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Come on."
Gao Yi followed Greens to a small room that looked like a shower room. The plunderer was thrown on the floor. It was okay that his face was bruised and swollen, but the key point was that many non-fatal parts of his body were covered with blood spots.
Seeing Greens coming in, the plunderer shuddered and cried, "No, don't!"
Greens picked up a piece of cloth and said to Gao Yi, "Give him water torture. You are responsible for pouring water, and I will be responsible for observing his condition. Don't let him suffocate to death."
There was no need to hide these words. Greens walked towards the plunderer. Gao Yi took a look and picked up the sprinkler.
"no no……"
If screaming and begging were useful, there would be no torture in this world.
Gao Yi turned on the shower head. He watched the predator struggle wildly until he gradually became motionless. Then, at Greens' signal, he turned off the faucet.
Greens took away the soaked towel and said to the plunderer who was coughing and spraying water from his nose and mouth: "Don't worry, we will take our time. Even if you..."
"Card number 1234..."
When he was able to struggle to speak, the predator couldn't wait to shout out his account number and password.
Greens and Gao Yi looked at each other.
Gao Yi was very surprised and said: "You said it so soon?"
Greens nodded and said, "Yeah, the CIA's waterboarding is pretty effective, but it's too fast."
The looters cried out, "I'll give you the money, so stop torturing me!"
Greens looked at Gao Yi with an embarrassed look on his face. Gao Yi shrugged and said, "I understand. Wait a minute."
Gao Yi stood up, shook the water off his hands, went outside to open the door, and said to Luca, "Come in for a moment."
When Luca entered the room, Gao Yi whispered, "They started talking about the account and password, but how do we verify it and get the money out safely?"
Luca thought for a moment and said, "Leave it to me. I'll go take a look."
Following Gao Yi into the shower room, Luca took a look at the situation inside, turned on the recorder placed aside, played the recorded footage, and saw the account number and password mentioned by the predator.
Greens said nervously, "How is it?"
"This is a US bank account, and it was opened in the US. It is subject to strict supervision. It is troublesome to withdraw money. The bank card crime group needs to transfer the money out, which requires a 5% to 10% handling fee. After the money is transferred out, you can find a professional money laundering group to launder it and hand it over to you safely and legally. As long as the amount is not too large, there will be no problem."
After that, Luca said directly to the plunderer: "How much money is in it?"
"Eight hundred thousand dollars..."
The plunderer replied weakly. Luca shrugged, then he said to Glass with a slightly perverted smile, "Go on, he said there's two million. Oh, wait a minute, I have to state in advance that we don't want to make this money, but as the financial director, my fee is 5%."
Glass smiled and said, "As long as you can deliver the money cleanly to my boss, you can pay whatever amount you say."
