Chapter 379 Basic Skills

The title of the first lesson was "Don't Trust Anyone", and then Green asked Gao Yi what he had learned.

"You didn't arrange this, did you?"

Gao Yi still spoke his true feelings.

It must be said that Gao Yi did think that this crisis was more likely caused by Green. The reason was simple. If Marina wanted to kill him, there was no way she would use such a troublesome method.

And as for Marina's action of taking the bulletproof vest just now, although Gao Yi didn't understand it, he definitely knew that Marina wanted to protect him rather than kill him.

There is just one thing I don't understand. If Marina also thinks Gao Yi is in danger, why doesn't she keep Gao Yi in the office, but instead asks Gao Yi to leave quickly?
This should be a tacit understanding between the agents, Gao Yi couldn't figure it out and didn't understand it.

Green began to answer.

Green said calmly, "Lesson one, don't trust anyone. You trust Marina, but do you know how many traitors there are around Marina? Can you guarantee that the people around her won't betray your whereabouts?"

Gao Yi was stunned and asked, "Are you saying that I was betrayed by someone close to Marina?"

Green continued to shake his head and said, "Obviously not, because the time was too short. I can conclude that it was not someone close to Marina who leaked the information, but the enemy used the dumbest but most effective method, squatting, squatting in all the places where you might appear. I know the relationship between you and Marina, and others know it too. Then, they just squatted on Marina."

Gao Yi immediately understood the key point. He was surprised that the price of doing so was too high.
Luca said in panic from the passenger seat: "Do you really have to say it now? The people behind us are catching up..."

Green glanced back, then he said calmly: "The situation is different now, there is no need to panic, the swimming pool will deal with these exposed killers, they are no longer a threat."

After all, this happened in front of the swimming pool entrance. No matter how slow the French were, they were at least starting to take action.

Green watched the car behind him change direction, gave up chasing them, and turned onto another road.

Gao Yi and Luca looked at each other.

I have experienced a lot of things and dangerous moments in the past, but I have never encountered a crisis that looks so professional.

Green continued calmly, "We can't stay in Paris anymore. We need to go somewhere else, change cars to a place without surveillance, put on makeup, disguise ourselves as someone else, and disappear again until the next time we have to meet someone under close surveillance and expose ourselves again."

A series of seemingly unrelated measures, but when combined, they all seem to make sense.

Gao Yi couldn't help but ask again: "It was really not arranged by you?"

Green did not look back, he was silent for a moment, but finally, he said in a warning tone: "You can be ignorant, but you can't be stupid, so if you say such stupid things again, I will no longer teach you."

"Ok."

Gao Yi lowered his head obediently, because Green's performance so far had conquered him.

A showdown does not necessarily have to involve fists. Now Green has convinced Gao Yi with facts. Gao Yi admits defeat and begins to be grateful to John for really finding him a good teacher. Then he will listen to Green.

Gao Yi now has too many questions. After thinking about it, he decided to seek answers one by one.

"Excuse me, is it a broad concept that no one should believe? It's not that Marina wants to kill me, but as long as I come into contact with her, it means that risks are inevitable."

Green is Gao Yi's teacher. His purpose is to teach Gao Yi things instead of showing off in front of Gao Yi. So, when Gao Yi starts asking questions, it is Green's duty to answer every question.

"Yes!"

Green's answer was very straightforward. He said in a very gratified tone, "You understand the true meaning of this sentence. The reason why I arranged this lesson is to let you know through this case that many of the people you are dealing with now are spies, and spies are the most complex and dangerous group, far more dangerous and complex than assassins. The French External Intelligence Agency is the largest intelligence unit in France. Can you imagine how many foreign moles are there in it?"

Gao Yi nodded.

Green continued, "Mutual infiltration within the EU has reached an extremely common level, but the United States is a threshold that all EU countries cannot bypass. If you consider the relationship between the Andek Group and the CIA, then isn't it easy to think that Marina's actions can be monitored by the CIA, that is, by the Andek Group?"

"Yes, that's true."

"Then the problem is simple. Under the current situation, Marina is obviously the most risky person in your network, but you don't realize it." Gao Yi was convinced. He nodded and said, "Yes, so you think there must be CIA spies around Marina, so as soon as I arrive, my whereabouts will be revealed immediately."

"That's right. Even if there is no insider or mole, there is a way to complete the surveillance of Marina. I just said it. We can wait here with a small number of people and spend a lot of time. If you show up, it will be a windfall. If you don't show up, there will be no loss either, because the people waiting here can be very low-end trash people. But once they find you here, everything will be over."

Green finished speaking, and then he said seriously: "Do you think that intelligence work is all done through satellites and the Internet? No, most of the intelligence, listen carefully, even in today's advanced electronic technology, most of the intelligence is obtained in the simplest and most primitive way. We all know that there are no secrets from Americans on the Internet, so the real core intelligence must be avoided from being conveyed through the Internet."

Gao Yi nodded again and said, "I understand. We only need to send two people, pay them a salary every month, and have them stay here to watch. But...if I put on makeup, will they recognize me?"

"You don't have to recognize her. We can monitor her by body shape and posture. You know that current surveillance can recognize faces, but in slightly more advanced intelligence work, body shape analysis is the mainstream. I'm not sure if there is a traitor around Marina, and I'm not sure to what extent the CIA has infiltrated, but I firmly believe that this place is being monitored, no matter if it is the periphery or the core area. As long as we know that we are being monitored, it's enough. So from this we move on to the second lesson, which is time management."

Green is a really good teacher, he explains things clearly and in a concise way.

Gao Yi was a good student. He immediately asked, "What does time management mean?"

"Time management is a big topic. It requires a series of basic skills and very complex calculations to come up with a safe time that can be absolutely controlled."

After finishing speaking, Green exhaled and said, "I didn't manage time well just now. I underestimated the speed of the enemy. If you had acted completely according to the safe time of fourteen minutes, we would be in trouble now. The correct time should be thirteen minutes and thirty seconds."

Gao Yi was indeed puzzled. He whispered, "Why?"

"This lesson tests the basic skills of spies. First, we know that approaching Marina means danger. Based on this judgment, we need to assess the type and level of danger, and then estimate the enemy's methods. After comprehensive consideration, we make a prediction based on all known conditions and come up with an absolutely safe time when the enemy will definitely not have time to act. During this time, you can do everything, but after this safe time, the enemy will come. This is a skill that all spies must master, the most basic skill."

Gao Yi understood, but he only knew the result and didn't understand the process.

Just like when Green said one plus one equals two, Gao Yi knew it, but why one plus one equals two, Gao Yi didn't understand at all.

“Can you tell me the details of this place?”

"Of course I will, but these are the basics. I will teach you one by one later, and then you will naturally understand. There is no point in telling you the details now. However, I must tell you the idea behind this practical operation. Later, when you learn the basics individually, it will be easier to understand."

Green is really a good teacher!

"First, I need to determine how the Andek Group is going to kill you. With your identity, assassination is unnecessary. They can kill you in any way. And you are very strong in combat, even known as invincible in close combat. So what is the simplest and quickest way to kill you? Of course, it's with a gun. Isn't that a very simple conclusion?"

"Yes, it's very simple."

"Very good. Then, it is OK to have someone monitor the area near the French External Security Directorate for a long time. But is it realistic and safe for someone to lurk around with guns and explosives for a long time?"

"Well, it doesn't seem that difficult... Wait, I don't know much about espionage, I don't know if this is difficult or not."

"It's difficult, but also simple. It depends on the distance. First of all, the location of the French Directorate-General for External Security was chosen with security issues in mind. Although it's not far from the city, it also ensures the largest possible safety range. All buildings and vehicles within the safety distance red line will be given special attention. Ordinary people can't detect it, but for an action team that needs to hide for a long time, entering the red line means that they may be exposed at any time."

After that, Green said seriously, "So you have to know where the red line of the swimming pool's safety range is, and then you have to find a location that you can use to hide for a long time, but can also be deployed at any time and arrive and take action in the shortest possible time. After research, I think the time to obtain information in the shortest possible time and immediately deploy to kill you by force is fourteen minutes."

Gao Yi finally understood how the fourteen-minute time limit came about.

"It sounds simple, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is very difficult, especially when you estimate the time by only twenty seconds. Teacher, you are amazing."

Gao Yi can flatter you at any time.

But Green sighed and said, "No, I reserved a minute of safety time. In other words, my time control was actually wrong this time. The enemy was either lurking closer than I thought, or was traveling faster on the road. Regardless of the reason, with this little time difference, the result of this operation is likely to be a catastrophic failure. But fortunately you came out early, otherwise we would have been locked down."

"Lock down his whereabouts?"

Green rejected Gao Yi's flattery and said calmly, "Andek Group can fail 10,000 times. They are consuming worthless consumables. It doesn't matter if they keep failing. Just one success is enough. But you, you can't even make a single mistake. If you make a mistake once, you might die."

Green continued, "It's easy to be a killer, and it's even easier to be a consumable and cannon fodder, but your opponent now is not just a killer, so you have to improve yourself to a higher level. Man, you have too many basic skills to practice, and you don't have much time, so I hope your learning ability can keep up with my teaching progress, otherwise... I think it will be difficult for you."
