Chapter 312 Perfect Closed Loop

Chapter 312 Perfect Closed Loop
All I can say is that it is difficult for those who don’t know how to do it, and it is not difficult for those who know how to do it.

Things that Gao Yi couldn't understand were easy for Glass.

The only problem now is that Jolson seems to have been cut off as well.

Not long after, Crawford called back and said nervously, "I've already reported the funding, but the result may be different from your expectations. Twenty million is a bit too much."

Gao Yi said seriously: "20 million is the bottom line. I can't just give 20 million and forget about it. I am taking a big risk to do this, it can't be unprofitable."

Crawford whispered, "This... may take a while."

Gao Yi continued, "It has to be quick. I have already contacted someone. Only when the funds are in place can we proceed to the next step."

"Well, can't you just finish the job first?"

Gao Yi said in a very impatient tone: "Give me a hundred people. If there are enough people, I can do it without money."

"We can't solve the problem with manpower, but the funds..."

No money, no people, just making demands. Gao Yi doesn't need to say much about this kind of thing. Crawford himself feels embarrassed to say it.

"You may need to explain the purpose of this money in person to your superiors. Please wait a moment."

The phone hung up again.

Glass whispered, "I can guarantee that he has never talked to Panetta about the funding. Panetta would either agree to give the money directly or refuse it directly. It is impossible for him to neither agree nor refuse like he is doing now."

Gao Yi said, "There's no way Panetta would agree to 20 million, right?"

"Of course I can't agree to that, because it's not that we can't get the 20 million, but if it's given to you in the name of funding, then the question is, what action needs the 20 million? If it's not public money, is Panetta going to pay for it himself? That's even more impossible, so the best solution is for you to pay for it yourself, and then Panetta will make up for your losses in other ways."

Glass finished speaking, and he spread his hands and said, "Crawford doesn't have any means for you to make up for your losses, so he is still hesitating and thinking about solutions, wasting time and finally having to hand the problem over to his superiors to solve. You don't have to think about how to solve him. You can tell from this phone call that he will soon be out of the way."

Crawford is still in the way. People like him are the most annoying. They are stuck in the middle, causing communication between the upper and lower levels to be blocked and wasting time.

But I don’t know why Panetta took a fancy to Crawford.

Two minutes later, Gao Yi's phone rang again. It was a very ordinary unfamiliar number.

Gao Yi answered the phone, and then he heard a very gentle voice saying, "Hello, Wind Knight."

"Hello."

"You want to take action, but you need to pay for it, right?"

The call should be from Panetta. He did not introduce himself, but went straight to the point and asked directly about money.

Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Yes, I have taken a big risk, but I can't afford to pay for it myself. At least 30 million US dollars. With this money, I can find enough people to set a trap. Without this money, it will be impossible for me to succeed."

There was a brief silence. Panetta was silent for a moment and said, "Tell me your plan. If you think it is feasible, I will provide you with funding."

Panetta actually wants to give money?

Gao Yi looked at Glass in surprise. Glass couldn't say anything. He thought for a while, waved his hands, and mouthed refusal.

Gao Yi immediately said: "Sorry, it's not convenient for me to disclose it."

Panetta still said in a gentle tone: "Forget it then."

Glass immediately waved his hands and mouthed, "Time, think about it, think about it."

Gao Yi said on the phone: "No, can I think about it? Give me five minutes, let me think about it, okay?"

"Okay, I'll give you a minute to think about it and give me an answer in a minute."

The phone hangs up.

Gao Yi looked at Glass, who said with a worried look on his face, "It's troublesome. Panetta has too many resources at his disposal. If he embezzles funds from a secret operation, or simply fakes you as part of the secret operation, he can still give you $30 million."

One minute was too short. Gao Yi asked anxiously, "What should we do?"

"Panetta is extremely determined to solve the problem of Liberty Wind. We can only start from this aspect. As for the money...you can make it up yourself. The time is too short. I can't think of a perfect plan!"

Glass knew how it worked, but in the rush to come up with a plausible lie, he couldn't.

It was time to test your quick wits. Joelson said anxiously, "Destruction is still an effect, an imperfect plan is still a plan, as long as you have a plan, the plan represents your attitude, incompetence is a problem of ability, you can be incompetent, but you must treat the things your superiors tell you to do as the most important thing!"

Gao Yi and Glass looked at Qiao Ersen in surprise. Qiao Ersen said with a bitter face: "The three principles of promotion that Feng Xiangvane taught me may be useful."

One minute was up and Gao Yi's phone rang again.

After answering the phone, Panetta said calmly, "How is it, do you want to talk?"

Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Free Wind is a threat to me. I am willing to deal with Free Wind, but it is difficult for me to deal with Free Wind. I must use myself as bait. I don't know if I can attract Free Wind to Baghdad, but I have relatively stronger strength in Baghdad and a relatively more convenient environment."

"Yes, I'm listening."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "The way I exposed myself was that I was going to conduct an arms deal in Baghdad. I found a source of arms and handed over the arms to the buyer in Baghdad. At this time, the CIA was watching this arms deal and discovered me. Since the CIA discovered me, Ziyoufeng should be able to arrive, right? By then, I will arrange a trap in advance, and I will attack Ziyoufeng as soon as he shows up. This is my plan."

An imperfect plan is still a plan. Gao Yi's words were very simple and the plan could be described as crude. However, as long as his plan could indeed bring out Free Wind, that would be fine.

That's right.

Panetta was silent for a moment, then said, "I believe you really have this plan."

"Of course I have. If I can get rid of Free Wind, my situation will be better."

"There are arms transactions in Baghdad every day. Why do you think your arms transactions can attract the attention of the CIA or Liberty Wind?"

Gao Yi said without hesitation: "What? In the plan, this is your responsibility, right? I am the bait and the hunter, but tipping off the CIA and letting Free Wind notice me, shouldn't that be Jolson's responsibility?"

Gao Yi did not answer Panetta's question, but instead pulled Jolson in.

Since Jolson is going to replace Crawford, of course Jolson has to play a role.

Jorson has always acted like he was dispensable, but now, with just one word from Gao Yi, Panetta has no choice but to pay attention to Jorson.

Sure enough, Panetta's tone changed slightly, and he said, "Well, it seems that the information I have is not very comprehensive. Jolson... Is it Jolson who cooperates with you?"

"Who else could it be? Sir, I don't know your identity, and Jolson has always refused to reveal it, so I don't have much confidence in cooperation. And to be honest, Free Wind is a big threat to me, but it's not fatal. At worst, I can just hide in a deserted place and retire."

Gao Yi finished speaking in a very dissatisfied tone, and continued rudely: "I'm betting my life, and I'm going to give you a large portion of the money I earn, and then I have to pay for hiring people myself? Are you too confident? Do you think I'm an idiot? Listen, this is not a threat. I just want to tell you bluntly that if you want to cooperate, you have to show the proper attitude for cooperation. You pay me, I use the money to hire people, and by the way, solve our common problems. That's all, understand?"

Gao Yi's attitude is very dangerous as he still speaks like this knowing that the person on the other side is Panetta.

But if you speak as if you don't know who the person you are talking to is, then there is nothing wrong with Gao Yi's attitude.

Jolson is the person who does the work, Crawford is the middleman, and Panetta is the decision maker. But now the problem is that Panetta, the decision maker, has no idea how to do this.

Given Panetta's level of attention to Liberty, Crawford should have reported any news to him immediately.

So with just a few words, he quietly gave Crawford a cold shoulder and elevated Jolson's importance.

Panetta sighed softly, and then he whispered: "Wait a moment, I may need to understand the situation before making a decision. I'm sorry, this is my problem, so can we contact each other in ten minutes?"

Judging from his tone and attitude, you really can't tell that Panetta is a high-ranking person.

Gao Yi, however, took advantage of the situation and said impatiently, "I'll give you ten minutes. If you can make the decision, then finalize this matter quickly. If you can't make the decision, then find someone who can make the decision and talk to me. Really, it's too troublesome to cooperate with you. You just keep dragging your feet all day and wasting my time. That's it."

Gao Yi hung up the phone with a click.

Qiao Ersen was stunned and said: "You, how dare you..."

Gao Yi said seriously: "This is the right attitude. Now it's not me who is delaying time, it's Crawford who is delaying time. Do you understand?"

Glass said seriously: "Panetta should contact Jolson."

Jolson smiled bitterly and said, "But I don't know how to put it. Where is our plan?"

Glass said without hesitation: "The easiest way is not to answer the phone. Wait until we have developed a complete solution, and then you can answer Panetta's call."

Gao Yi immediately said, "Just consider the seizure of our weapons in Yemen as part of the plan. I only said that they would be handed over in Baghdad, so it is normal that the weapons came from Yemen."

Jolson said hurriedly, "Sure! I think there is no problem. I know about the arms deal in Yemen, and there are benefits to be gained. However, the location where the arms are seized is changed to Baghdad, and the news received by Free Wind is also in Baghdad. I think this plan is complete and it is right!"
