Chapter 375 Scorpion

Chapter 375 Scorpion
What the hell is a scorpion?

Gao Yi knew the Sand Scorpion, but that was just one of Sherkin's many aliases. However, Gao Yi had never heard of the Scorpion.

Could it be that I am ignorant?

Gao Yi looked at Luca for help. He thought that perhaps Luca could give him some support and let him know what was going on with this scorpion.

But Gao Yi found that Luca was also in a daze.

"Scorpion is the special operations officer of MI6."

It was John who explained it himself. He said with some regret: "You are with the KGB people. I thought you would know that the name Sand Scorpion is a tribute to the scorpion."

Even more confused.

Gao Yi frowned and said, "KGB? Salute to Scorpion?"

John nodded and said seriously, "As the ceiling of intelligence unit combat power and the prototype library of 007 stories, Scorpion is of course the template and role model for every intelligence agency. With the scale of a special force under an intelligence agency, it can be ranked alongside the American three-headed dog and butter knife, as well as the Soviet Union's black devil, which already shows the strength of Scorpion."

Gao Yi was still confused.

Luca was equally confused.

"Okay, let me explain in detail. The three-headed dog is a special force of the US Navy, and the butter knife is a special force of the US Army. These two special forces are the embodiment of the US national strength. The black devil..."

John was silent for a long time, and Gao Yi asked, "What happened to the Black Devil?"

"The black devil is the Soviet Union, the national strength and destiny of the Soviet Union."

John spread his hands and said seriously, "The Soviet Union has used all its national strength to build an inhuman team, which is affiliated with the KGB. However, this team can never be regarded as a KGB force, but a manifestation of the Soviet Union's national strength. They have very anti-humanly gathered the geniuses of the entire Soviet Union, trained them from adolescence, and built an invincible special forces. This is a huge waste and a squandering of national strength. Although this team has indeed made extremely outstanding achievements, waste is waste."

Why use the word wasteful to describe a military unit?

John exhaled and said, "We will give code names to the enemy troops. Black Devil is the name we gave it, and Scorpion is the code name the Black Devil gave us!"

Why, looking at John's expression, it seems like he is very proud to have the black devil give them a code name.

John said proudly, "So Scorpion later became the nickname for the special operations department of MI6. In addition, we also have a scorpion armband and a scorpion badge."

"The Black Devil must be so powerful that you regard the code name Scorpion as an honor."

"Black Devil..."

John tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "The Black Devil is the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union is the Black Devil. If the Soviet Union is gone, the Black Devil will also be gone. From another perspective, the Black Devil is there, and the Soviet Union is there, because if the Black Devil had not split internally, the Soviet Union might not have disintegrated."

Pointing to his chest, John smiled and said, "The most dazzling medal of honor is given to you by your enemy. One curse from your enemy is better than ten thousand compliments from your own people."

Gao Yi nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Judge others by yourself. For example, Gao Yi has many nicknames, but in the end he is still called the Hammer God.

John said calmly, "Due to our national strength, Scorpion cannot compare to the Black Devil in terms of size, nor can we compare to Butter Knife and Cerberus in terms of military strength. However, the nickname Scorpion given by the Black Devil shows our characteristics. We are small, but can sting."

Gao Yi nodded and said, "Then the scorpion must be very powerful."

"It's not just amazing, it's legendary. There's a reason why the Scorpion replaced the SAS and SBS as Britain's combat power during the Cold War."

John was not modest at all. He said proudly, "If the Soviet Union had not collapsed and the Black Devils had not disappeared, the Scorpions would still be glorious. It's just that the Soviet Union is gone. After losing its biggest enemy, Britain no longer invested resources in the Scorpions. But the Scorpions are just old, not dead. Unlike the Black Devils, we are still here. Therefore, the strongest intelligence combat unit is ultimately the Scorpions, not the Black Devils."

John said it with pride, but Gao Yi felt that it sounded like a daughter-in-law who had finally become a mother-in-law after many years.

Gao Yi couldn't help but ask: "What have you done?"

"Secret."

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Keep it a secret? Then why did you say so much?" "If I don't tell you, you won't know how powerful the scorpion is."

John was very frank. He thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you two things that have been made public for a long time. The predecessor of Scorpion organized and carried out the assassination of Heinrich. The predecessor of Scorpion also tied down and delayed the German Panzer Army Group on the Western Front during the Normandy Landing. It was the predecessor of Scorpion that carried out the operation."

Gao Yi was speechless. John was trying to fool him with these old-fashioned things.

“This is all from World War II.”

John nodded and said, "Operations during the Cold War were all top secret. As a gardener, I can tell you everything, but as the captain of Scorpion... I'm sorry, I won't tell you anything that hasn't been declassified."

In order to divert Gao Yi's attention, John immediately said, "Whether it's the Golden Scorpion, the Sand Scorpion, the Sky Scorpion, or the Red Scorpion, all these troops or mercenary groups named after the Scorpion are tributes and imitations of the Scorpion, because you can find that all these teams named after the Scorpion are related to intelligence units. Why is this so? Because people outside the intelligence community don't know."

After talking for a long time, John just wanted to explain to Gao Yi how powerful scorpions are.

Although Gao Yi didn't actually feel how powerful he was.

John exhaled and said, "I have been the captain of Scorpion for about eight years. The CIA, as an ally, knows this. And the Andek Group has close ties with the CIA, so after I retired, they tried their best to invite me to join the Andek Group."

Only here do the beginning and the end begin to connect.

Gao Yi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

"But Andek Group would never dream that I'm still a gardener."

John had a strange expression on his face. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I decided to infiltrate the Andek Group, disintegrate them, and kill them. I felt that I could do this by attending a high-level meeting. I could kill them all by myself. I handed the garden to Sean and cut off all ties with the garden, just to gain the trust of the Andek Group. As a result..."

"What's the result?"

“I succeeded and I failed.”

Without Gao Yi's further questioning, John said consciously: "It took me several years to finally gain the trust of Andek Group, but Andek Group has never held any meetings attended by senior executives. They don't hold meetings at all."

Gao Yi couldn't help but want to laugh.

John continued, "Then, I discovered that the Andek Group was not something that could be supported by a single family. The forces behind the Andek Group were extremely complex and huge."

Speaking of this, Gao Yi felt that he might know more than John.

"Yes, the Andek Group is backed by the dark web, and the dark web is backed by the CIA, FBI, and NSA."

Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "If you kill one of the puppets of the Andek Group, they will immediately replace him with someone else."

John nodded and whispered, "You are right, but not entirely. Well, Andek Group can indeed be changed, but it will never reach this level if the people are changed. You underestimate the decisive role of a soul figure."

Gao Yi was very surprised and asked: "Oh, you mean that if we kill the boss of Andek Group, we can dismantle the dark web?"

"Andek Group and the Dark Web are now one and the same, but Andek Group is not the Dark Web. Even if Andek Group is gone, the Dark Web is still there. The Dark Web can be controlled by someone else, but at least it is not Andek Group."

After finishing speaking, John looked at Gao Yi and said seriously: "Now, I think you are the only one who can take down the Andek Group, because only you can replace the Andek Group and gain the trust of the CIA and NSA. Only you can replace the Andek Group!"

That’s what it meant.

That’s right, at least so far, only Gao Yi can do this.

That's why John showed up on his own initiative and was willing to give up everything to save Gao Yi as he said.

Gao Yi understood what John meant. He nodded and suddenly said, "Why are you telling me this? I mean, you are being so honest that I don't quite believe you."

John had been acting mysterious and superior not long ago, but now he suddenly changed his face. It was normal for Gao Yi to have some doubts.

As for Gao Yi's question, John was very frank and said, "Because I found that you don't play by the rules, so I decided to change my previous common tactics and exchange sincerity for sincerity. I will use my sincerity to exchange for your sincerity."
