Chapter 357 Sacrifice
Panetta is asking, and so is Glass.

Then the news from Glass's side came back even faster, because the top officials in the Pentagon were also confused at the moment, and they wanted to know what had happened.

"What's going on? I want to know what's going on! The White House broke the news, Fox reported it first, and then the other media quickly followed up. Now we are all involved. No one knows why the damn CIA went crazy..."

Glass turned on the speakerphone and heard a very unfamiliar voice. The background sounded a bit noisy, as if many people were talking.

Glass said cautiously: "General, how should I deal with this matter?"

"Keep him safe. No matter what, we can't let the CIA destroy him. No specific personal information has been leaked so far, so there's nothing to be afraid of if it's exposed. We will never have anything to do with the Sky Garden, nor will we have anything to do with the Warhammer Mercenaries. Do you understand what I mean? Wait."

The caller asked Glass to wait, and then he whispered to someone, "Now we roughly understand what the White House means. This incident should be instigated by the CIA to drag the UK into it. Now the UK is in chaos, and they are about to hold a press conference. We just received an order from the White House to hold a press conference as well, before the UK denies it, so that we can show them evidence to prove their defeat."

Glass was still confused. He whispered, "Why?"

"Because the British don't like our president, our president wants to teach the British a lesson. We don't know the specific situation yet, so you don't have to worry about it. What you have to do now is to protect him and don't let the British kill him."

The Pentagon did not give a particularly clear answer, but they gave a good attitude, which is to continue to cooperate with Gao Yi and to keep Gao Yi.

It's basically certain that nothing serious has happened.

Glass still didn't quite understand why. He hung up the phone and said to Gao Yi, "You heard it. Well, I think you will be fine. As for why this happened, it doesn't seem to be too important."

Gao Yi felt that everything was fine as he had a way out and his partners did not turn against him.

Soon, Panetta also called.

"I've figured it out. It has nothing to do with you, but you were taken advantage of."

The Pentagon can only speculate, but Panetta asked the president directly, so the answer he gave at this moment is final.

Gao Yi was puzzled and asked, "You used me but it has nothing to do with me. What does this mean?"

Panetta whispered, "There are some things I didn't intend to tell you too early. Now I can only tell you in advance, but I hope you know the importance of confidentiality."

If Glass hadn't kept it a secret from Gao Yi, then Gao Yi wouldn't have kept it a secret from Glass. The more Panetta emphasized confidentiality, the more he turned on the speaker and whispered, "I know."

"Let me be frank, Mason. The founder of Free Wind is also the deputy director of the CIA, my biggest and only competitor. He facilitated the British to send troops and got the White House to acquiesce and support this military action.

The failure of the British is also Mason's failure. Now I have a good chance of completely replacing Mason's previous position in the president's eyes, so Mason needs to save himself. In order to continue to maintain his influence on the president, he chose to sell out the interests of the British.

The president does not like British Prime Minister Temesa. Although Britain is the most important ally, Prime Minister Temesa has not been polite to the president before. On some major decisions, she not only did not give the president the necessary support, but also kept dragging her feet.

Now the British are going to initiate a vote of no confidence in Temesa, and the president wants Temesa to step down, so the president decided to expose the British failure this time and provide important bargaining chips for those who oppose Temesa. Mason suggested this to the president after contacting the British.

The situation is like this now. Mason wants to use this incident to regain the trust and respect of the president. The president hopes that Britain can replace a prime minister he likes. Britain wants to use this incident to force Mason to step down, so you were exposed, but the president values ​​you very much and wants to subvert you to use for his own purposes, so the president did not expose too much information about you.

So this exposure will not have a big impact on you. The president has no intention of getting rid of you. Most importantly, I have not revealed too many of your secrets to him. You don't have to worry too much. It's just the names of Sky Garden and Warhammer Mercenaries. There may be subsequent news exposure, but at most it's just the little information that Free Wind has. You can rest assured that I will never betray you, and I hope to strengthen cooperation with you. To show my sincerity, I have asked Jolson to meet you. You can talk in detail after you meet."

Panetta said a lot in one breath.

Using you but having nothing to do with you, this can obviously only be the style of doing things by big people, and it is a qualification that only big people have.

You can't write two "Te"s with one stroke, and you can't write two "Mei"s with one stroke.

The president's name has a "Te" in it, the CIA deputy director's name has a "May" in it, and the British prime minister's name has both "Te" and "May" in it, and then she was sacrificed by these two people.

Although this feeling is not so pleasant for the person involved, who cares?

Gao Yi expressed his understanding.

"I understand. It seems that the consequences of being exposed are not very serious at the moment. There is no need for me to leave in a hurry. The operation to kill Free Wind can continue."

"Of course, of course! The operation to kill Free Wind must not only continue, but also be intensified! I will provide all the help I can! In addition! Although I cannot help you with funds and manpower, I can give you something more important than funds and manpower!"

Panetta seemed to be anxious because his opponent Mason, in an unfavorable situation, sacrificed his ally Temesa by diverting the blame. Then, as long as this trick succeeded, Mason would most likely take the opportunity to turn the tables.

One success cannot completely solve the Mason problem. The conflict between Panetta and Mason has been exposed in front of the president, which means that they have no room for easing and can only decide who lives and who dies as soon as possible.

Therefore, Panetta is not doing his best to save Gao Yi, but to save himself, and he must do his best to help Gao Yi.

Since Gao Yi has to bear the consequences of being exposed, the reward Panetta gives must be substantial. Gao Yi asked curiously, "Well, what is it?"

Panetta said in a deep voice: "Let the Saudis give you the funds you need, and I will give the Saudis what they want. After Jordan meets with you, let Jordan contact the director of the Saudi Intelligence Agency and let Jordan contact Abdullah directly. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gao Yi understood what Panetta meant.

The mulberry elm is lost, and the eastern corner is harvested.

Panetta couldn't give Gao Yi what he needed, but he could give Shaman what he needed, and Shaman could give Gao Yi a lot of money.

In order to completely defeat Mason, Panetta decided to sell himself to Saudi Arabia, and he would definitely get a good price.

The intensity of this cooperation is totally different from before.

Shaman just called and gave Gao Yi clear support and a way out. The warmth of this favor has not yet worn off, and Gao Yi will be able to give Shaman a huge reward soon.

Let’s put it this way, Shaman’s support for Gao Yi is the pinnacle of human kindness, the highest level.

But Gao Yi's reward to Saudi Arabia was at the national and strategic levels. It was the first major harvest in intelligence work since the founding of Saudi Arabia.

It's just that there always feels like something is missing when Jolson and Abdullah connect.

Gao Yi thought that since things had come to this point, why not just do it in one go and get to the top.

Gao Yi's mind worked very quickly.

"I have a suggestion. Although I think Jolson is reliable and can be used as a contact person, from what I know, Abdullah's ability is not enough. The only thing Shaman values ​​about him is his loyalty."

Having prepared for his proposal, Gao Yi changed the subject and said, "But Prince Shaman is different. He is really very powerful, so why can't we let Prince Shaman contact you directly? Cut out all the middlemen and minimize the possibility of exposure. What do you think?"

Put Sharman and Panetta in direct contact.

As the CIA's most powerful deputy director, Panetta's position is above Salman's in terms of importance in the intelligence community. However, as the head of a country, Salman's status is definitely above Panetta's, so the direct contact between the two of them is equal.

Panetta hesitated; he was not used to doing this kind of thing himself.

But thinking that the other party was Prince Salman, Panetta finally decided to give it a try.

"Okay, I'll contact Shaman myself!"

Gao Yi immediately asked: "How do you contact each other?"

"This is the number! This is it! Now that you've made up your mind, act quickly. Ask Shaman for the money you need directly. He must give it to you! Contact him now and tell me the result. I will then decide on my attitude towards Shaman. That's it."

Panetta hung up the phone.

As soon as the call ended, Glass stepped forward and grabbed Gao Yi's arm, then he said in a trembling voice: "You are rich! You have facilitated the cooperation of the two people with the most money and the most secrets in the world! You...you are rich!"

Gao Yi smiled and said, "You should say we are prosperous, brother!"

Since the secrets are shared, the benefits must naturally be shared as well.

Gao Yi started dialing, and Glass withdrew his trembling hand.

Shaman answered the phone and said calmly, "What's wrong? Is the situation bad? It's okay, I'll send a plane to pick you up, don't be afraid."

"Brother!" Gao Yi was still touched, so he quickly said, "CIA Deputy Director Panetta hopes to establish a single line of communication with you. I think it would be better for you to contact a mole of this level in person. What do you think?"

Shaman said nothing.

Gao Yi could only raise his voice a little and said, "Brother? Did you hear that?"

"Hiss~Huh~Uh..."

Shaman's voice was trembling. After making a series of strange noises, he whispered, "You always surprise me, brother!"
