Chapter 217 The meeting ends
The situation in Europe is more complicated.

To describe the EU as turning swords into plowshares is to flatter them, while to describe it as letting their horses go to the mountains and putting their swords and guns into storage is not enough.

Alandi didn't understand those idioms either. From his perspective and in his words, there was only one word left to describe Europe.

rotten.

It's terrible.

Europe's bones have been broken and the EU has been turned into a useless entity, so much so that now when the CIA wants to borrow the power of European countries, it is of no use.

As the director of the Middle East Department, Alandi now feels that the intelligence agencies of the Middle Eastern countries are stronger than those in Europe.

Spain, how come they couldn’t even catch a few people? They were surrounded, how could they still escape?
But it's also a good thing. If our European colleagues are embarrassed, it will make the Middle East not so embarrassing.

"I told you, these people are very strong. After all, Captain Naowei..."

Alandi couldn't help but speak, but he swallowed the rest of his words back halfway through. After all, this had become a taboo, and it would be immature to bring it up again.

Unfortunately, it's still too late.

Everyone in the CIA knows that Captain Naowei died in a car accident. What do you mean by saying this, Alandi?
Several people on the screen looked over.

Fortunately, it was an online meeting. It would have been troublesome if it had been face-to-face in a conference room.

Alandi decisively decided to pretend to be dead in the following period of time. Even if Sky Garden killed all his European colleagues, he would never speak a word.

What a bunch of idiots, they deserve it, they deserve to die, they deserve to fail.

Alandi wanted to say that he had reminded them of this a long time ago, but his European colleagues were so confident that they firmly believed that if they sent a CIA agent to supervise, the Spanish side would definitely do its best.

Now, the people sent have died, Spain has captured four hostages, and has to escort the people from the Hanging Gardens out of the country.

Once we got to France, things became difficult to handle, because although France was soft-hearted, it still had its dignity. In order to maintain its so-called dignity and autonomy, it would absolutely not agree to the CIA's request for assistance.

Is a large-scale cross-regional CIA secret operation going to fail like this?

Alandi is a little pessimistic.

The director was just angry.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? I just received a call from the White House, which warned me not to get entangled with Saudi Arabia and not to retaliate. Prince Salman personally called the White House, and I hope this matter will end here."

The director's words were calm, but everyone knew that he was really angry at the moment.

Sure enough, the director slammed the table hard, and then he roared: "Now I just want to catch that damn Sky Garden. Before the operation started, you promised that you would be able to capture Sky Garden smoothly. You said you could solve all the problems at once. What about now? Who can explain to me what happened?"

"Sir, this is what happened."

The head of the European region, a very capable technical official who had risen through the ranks from the position of intelligence analyst, had a brain as fast and meticulous as a computer and he never made mistakes.

But now, this expert who never made mistakes made a big mistake. Although he was only responsible for coordination and command, his subordinates messed things up and he could not escape the blame. So if he doesn't explain, who will?

Alandi was secretly delighted.

"We received a tip from our partners that a contact person of Sky Garden appeared in London. Our partners quickly located him and informed us. After receiving the tip from headquarters, I began to design an overall plan to capture Sky Garden."

The Director of the European Department wants to start from the beginning.

A little trick: if you want to calm your boss's anger, just make the matter more complicated. The trick is to start from the beginning. Don't be afraid of being scolded by your boss for being too long-winded, because this will also give the boss who doesn't know the inside story the opportunity to know all the details and make his own judgment.

"First, let's talk about this contact, codenamed Albatross. According to the information provided by the partner, Albatross is an insignificant little character. Before joining the Sky Garden, he was a middleman who coaxed newcomers into working for him. He himself is worthless, but if we keep an eye on Albatross, we will definitely be able to find the soul of the Sky Garden, codenamed Truck Driver."

Since Naowei's death was caused by a car accident, the person who killed Naowei could only be the truck driver, a very reasonable and intuitive code name.

The director was impatient to hear this. He said unhappily, "Just get to the point. Don't mention any partners or code names."

"That's the point, sir. Our partner is the dark web, and the one that specifically connects and assists us is Andek Group. At our request, Andek Group sent people to monitor Albatross, but Albatross suddenly escaped. He left London under the protection of the Saudi National Intelligence Agency. When Andek Group locked onto his location again, he was already in Toledo, Spain."

"Go on." "Antek Group sent three local assassins to target Albatross again. We quickly contacted Spain, hoping to use Spain's power to capture the Sky Garden in one fell swoop. The plan went smoothly, and the truck driver did show up..."

The director of the European Division paused for a moment, then he continued, "But I don't know what went wrong. My personal judgment is that the people of the Andek Group were too incompetent, and the truck driver saw through it. Then... the people of the National Intelligence Agency quickly evacuated, and the truck driver suddenly attacked, killing one of the Andek Group members on the spot and capturing two alive."

"Ha, my ability is too poor..."

The director of the European Division continued calmly, "According to the information we have, the core members of the Sky Garden are two Asians. They killed Faisali, rescued Khaled, and held Shaman hostage. Mr. Director, please note that this is the first extremely abnormal point."

"What's abnormal?"

"Two Asians in the Sky Garden took turns to hold Shaman hostage. However, Shaman not only did not kill them, but also began to provide shelter for the Sky Garden. According to my judgment, they must have mastered some fatal secrets of Prince Shaman."

"Go on, is there anything else unusual?"

"And then..."

The director of the European Department didn't know what to say. He thought for a moment and said seriously: "I suspect we have a traitor."

There was an uproar.

There were not many people participating in this video conference and live broadcast of the action, but they were all high-ranking officials. But now, the Director of the European Department said that there was a mole in the CIA?
Once this statement is made, the consequences will be serious.

The director had a cold expression on his face and said in a deep voice, "Speak clearly."

"After discovering the traces of the Sky Garden, I immediately made clear arrangements as the commander-in-chief. I judged that after the Sky Garden people shot and killed the Andek Group people on the street, if they did not kill Albatross to silence them, they could only go two ways. One is to leave Spain immediately, and the other is to hide in the Saudi Embassy immediately. However, the National Intelligence Agency left the hotel alone and abandoned Albatross. Albatross left the hotel alone, and the Sky Garden avoided the road to the embassy as a whole, and completely avoided our ambush."

The director was silent. He couldn't react for a moment because he was not a spy.

After thinking for a moment, the director couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that normal?"

"Not normal. Now we can confirm that Sky Garden is the alias of the previous Garden, and the Garden is a killer organization. I have checked the information. The Garden's actions are known for being extremely meticulous."

"what?"

"It is impossible for the people from the Garden to make such a mistake. Albatross should have left under the protection of the National Intelligence Agency, or the Garden should have taken over and killed or continued to protect Albatross. However, abandoning Albatross directly and avoiding the first ambush circle we set up is too abnormal and unreasonable!"

An expert technocrat, the Director of the European Department is renowned for his ability to accurately predict his opponent’s next move.

Now that he says there is a problem, then there is a problem.

The director exhaled and said, "Go on."

"Then they entered a safe house that had never been used before. Yes, they evaded our surveillance again. We monitored all three safe houses of the National Intelligence Agency in Madrid, but they didn't go to any of them. Instead, they used a place that was not a safe house at all. Mr. Director, at this point, I have to suspect that someone leaked the information."

The director's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Continue."

"We were seriously short of manpower, and the Sky Gardens seized every loophole we had. Because most of the manpower had been withdrawn, there were not enough operatives. When we found that the Sky Gardens had hidden in a vineyard, we could only temporarily dispatch the air mobile force as a reserve to rush there. There was only one civilian staff member stationed in Spain accompanying them. And then! Another extremely abnormal point. The Sky Gardens shot and killed our contact person without any dialogue or warning. Mr. Director, a normal person would not choose to kill our intelligence personnel directly. No one dares to do that."

The director took a deep breath and said, "Very good, you mean someone must have leaked the information?"

"I can't guarantee that someone will leak the secret, but I dare say that if no one leaks the secret, then the opponent is a super master whose behavior cannot be predicted, a super genius who cannot be ambushed, and a master beyond my understanding."

After finishing speaking calmly, the director of the European Department said coldly: "Now the Sky Garden has all entered France. We can't ask France to arrest them directly. Now, we have caught the tail of the Sky Garden. They rented two cars. We don't know where to go next. Whether someone leaked the information or the other party is really just a genius, I can no longer predict their behavior, so I have to take decisive action."

"What decisive action?"

"No longer secretly monitoring them, I will have those who find their tracks take decisive action. It doesn't matter whether we can kill them or not, as long as we can entangle them and slow them down."

"Our people?"

"They are not our people, but those of the Andek Group. It doesn't matter how many of them die. Once they engage in a firefight, France will be dragged into this matter. I have also ordered the French branch to assemble as soon as possible and be ready to take action at any time. After the French police capture them, we will snatch them from the French. We will not demand them through diplomatic means, but directly snatch them away!"

The director of the European Department became furious and ordered the CIA to prepare to snatch people from the French. This was his decisive action.

The director pondered for a moment, then he said in a deep voice: "Two questions. First, can the French really catch them? Second, what if the French cannot capture them alive and choose to kill them? Oh, and third, if there are no survivors left in the Sky Garden, how do we know who the traitor who is in contact with them is? You should find a way to solve these three problems. That's it. Tell me when you have a result. The meeting is adjourned."
