Chapter 319 Crossing the Circle
Chapter 319 Crossing the Circle
Baghdad.
Gao Yi lived a shameful life again.
Being faceless does not mean being shameless. The reason why he is faceless is that Lucy has come from the United States and brought all of Gao Yi's cosmetics. Now Gao Yi has to put on makeup every day. Without fingerprints, he will not show his true face to others easily.
If something happens, it is definitely necessary to rely on one's own reliable people. Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua also came separately, but this time Gao Yi did not call Li Jie, because Gao Yi felt that calling Li Jie would be useless.
Gao Yi and his men will not personally go into battle this time. Whether they hire mercenaries or recruit Russians as Glass suggested, the main force of the battle will not be Gao Yi and his men, so there is no need to let Li Jie come.
Gao Yi had been to Baghdad several times and was very familiar with it, but he didn't know many people in Baghdad's mercenary market.
Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua had both been mercenaries, so Gao Yi was waiting for them to arrive before deciding which mercenary group to use.
Since Glass suggested bringing the Russians in, he must have had his reasons.
The mercenary market in Baghdad is still very large, but most of the market is occupied by Americans. However, most of them are PMC companies, and the big businesses are basically from American companies, such as security in oil fields, security in many places in the Green Zone, protection of transportation lines, and providing training for the Iraqi army.
However, as a region that has been ravaged by war for many years, Baghdad or even the entire Iraq is always home to mercenaries, and these mercenary groups that can only take odd jobs are mainly composed of Russians and Eastern Europeans.
As for the KGB, Gao Yi certainly didn't know them, but as the head of the Pentagon's intelligence system in Baghdad, if Glass didn't have information about several KGB personnel, he wouldn't be able to be the boss.
However, Gao Yi had to contact the Russians in person, because it was not convenient for Glass to show up, and if he did, the Russians would not easily believe him.
"There are two people in Baghdad who have close ties with both the mercenaries and the KGB. One is the biggest intermediary for the mercenaries. He can get some odd jobs from the United States, so he is familiar with almost all the mercenary groups. His name is Petrov, a Belgian of Russian descent, but I know that he had close contacts with the KGB when he was in Belgium.
The other person is called Sherkin, an Eastern European, a member of the Gwana Group. On the surface, he has no connection with the KGB, but I am sure that he is a non-staff member developed by the KGB. His identity and background are very complicated. I suspect that he has some secret mission, but it is just against the Gwana Group. "
Both of them can contact the mercenaries that Gao Yi wants to find.
Glass finished speaking. He placed the slip of paper with the number on it in front of Gao Yi and continued, "All mercenaries can do anything without knowing the specific identity of the target. They dare to attack anyone. But if they know that the person they are attacking is a CIA agent, they may be afraid and refuse to fight or withdraw from the mission. Anything can happen during a battle. If Free Wind has a chance to identify himself, it may lead to a reversal of the battle situation. However, there will be no such problem when it comes to the Russians."
This is the reason why we cannot look for mercenary groups with an American background, because if you make money you have to live to spend it, and offending the CIA means endless troubles. Mercenary groups with an American background obviously have more concerns.
But the Russians are different. Although the United States is indeed much stronger than Russia now, after the Russians finish the war and get the money, they can just return home. As long as they can make enough money once, there's no point in never leaving Russia again.
Gao Yi took the note and left his contact information. Then he said to Glass, "How can we get the KGB involved?"
"As long as we find these two people and use a mercenary group with a Russian background, the KGB will be involved."
Glass smiled sinisterly. He said, "It's impossible to expect the KGB to send people directly. If the KGB directly participates in the war, that would be a completely different matter. What we want is to use the Russians' identity and background to muddy the waters. There has to be someone more obvious to take the blame, and the Russians are the best choice."
"So which of these two people should I look for specifically?"
"Just follow the market rules. You can choose who is stronger and offers the lowest price. You can choose whoever you are willing to use. You don't have to go through the dark web to find them. This is the biggest advantage."
Gao Yi nodded, stood up and shook hands with Glass to say goodbye.
It is still convenient to do things in Baghdad, much more convenient.
After leaving Glass's office and getting in the car outside, Gao Yi met up with Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua. He took out a note and said, "Glace gave me two candidates, both of whom have connections with the KGB. Contact both of them and choose one or both of them to cooperate. Brother Biao, who should we contact first?"
Feng Biao looked at the note, thought for a moment, and said, "I was not a mercenary leader before, and I was not qualified to contact Petrov directly, but I have heard of him. Uh, this person is quite familiar with Xiaoluofu."
They are all acquaintances.
Gao Yi took on the mission to assassinate Saib and thus got to know Feng Biao, who was hired by Xiaoluofu to kill Saib.
Baghdad is this big, and the Baghdad in the underground world is even smaller, and these are the same people who are wandering around.
"Then let's start with Petrov. Does he know you?"
Feng Biao thought for a moment, then he said awkwardly: "I've never met him, but I guess he has heard of the nickname Weathervane. The nickname Weathervane is pretty famous."
How could he not be famous? He was a well-known sniper in the mercenary circle, but he was also a famous weathervane. He ran away as soon as he saw the situation was not good. No mercenary group wanted him anymore, so he could only work as a freelance mercenary and do odd jobs. If he was not famous, Feng Biao would not have fallen into this situation. Also, Peter, who was originally a mercenary and now has joined the Secret Operations Bureau's action team, was promoted by Gao Yi. They all knew the weathervane, so it was impossible for the largest mercenary agent in Baghdad not to know about it.
An unknown weathervane in the killer circle, he is well-known in the mercenary circle, but his reputation is so bad that he can hardly make a living.
When he entered the killer circle, his job as a sniper did not make him famous, but he became very successful by relying on his ability to accurately provide emotional value. He not only made a lot of money, but also won the favor of big people.
This is what is called women are afraid of marrying the wrong man and men are afraid of entering the wrong profession. If Feng Biao had become a killer earlier, he would not be so afraid of being recognized by everyone he met.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you not go."
Feng Biao nodded slightly and whispered, "I'll try not to show up so as not to be recognized. But it doesn't matter if I'm recognized, right? No one knows that I've joined the Sky Garden."
"That's true, just to be on the safe side, but I don't speak Russian."
"It's OK. They all speak English."
The decision was made in just a few words. Gao Yi stretched out his hand and Lin Xianghua immediately handed him a cell phone that had never been used. Gao Yi entered Petrov's number.
Ever since he knew that the dark web could monitor keywords, Gao Yi no longer had to use his mobile phone to log into the dark web.
The call was quickly connected. The person who answered the phone probably saw that the phone number was a local Baghdad number and greeted me in Arabic.
Gao Yi could understand Arabic, but in order to identify himself, he whispered in English: "Hello, is this Petrov?"
The person who answered the phone was stunned for a moment, then he switched to English and said, "Hello, I'm Petrov."
"Hello, I'm looking for someone to do some work for me. I've heard of your name a long time ago, so I came to you directly."
Gao Yi's words were rather vague. After all, he couldn't just come up and say on the phone that he wanted to hire mercenaries to do something big.
Petrov naturally knew the rules, and he said politely, "You've found the right person. Can we have a face-to-face meeting?"
"It's convenient. Can we meet now?"
"Of course, of course, can we meet in the Green Zone?"
Petrov gave an address, which was all in the Green Zone and not far away. It would take no more than five minutes to drive there, so there was nothing much to say and we just went there directly.
Petrov does not live in a hotel. He also has a mansion in the Green Zone, a villa by the river with a garden. His financial resources can be seen from the house.
Apart from two local armed security guards guarding the gate, Petrov did not have any bodyguards. This is understandable. Hiring someone to guard the gate is for the most basic safety. But as an intermediary, if he is followed by a dozen armed bodyguards, people would suspect that he often cheats people for money, so he needs the protection of many people.
As an intermediary, one should not be too arrogant and should remain friendly. However, it would be stupid to doubt Petrov's ability and think that he is easy to bully.
Gao Yi entered Petrov's villa alone, came to the air-conditioned living room, and met Petrov himself.
Even though he was a mercenary agent, even though he met Gao Yi in his own villa, Petrov was dressed in a classic agent outfit, striped suit, white shirt, in his forties, a little thin, not tall or fat, without a beard, and did not look like a typical Russian.
He is obviously a big shot, but he looks like a real estate agent, which is interesting.
Petrov was waiting at the door of the living room to greet Gao Yi. He extended his hand when they met. When shaking hands, he lowered his eyes and looked at Gao Yi's hand. Then he smiled and said, "Welcome, thank you for your trust. What's your name?"
Gao Yi has a fingerprint sticker on his hand, and when shaking hands, it cannot be hidden from some experts who know the matter. However, if someone finds Gao Yi's fingerprint sticker when shaking hands, it will usually not be revealed.
But after Petrov felt something unusual in Gao Yi's hand, he did not hide it, but deliberately glanced at Gao Yi's hand, telling Gao Yi that he had seen through Gao Yi's disguise.
Gao Yi was not afraid of Petrov seeing through him, so he smiled and said, "Warhammer Mercenary Group, Wind Knight."
