Chapter 380 Question
Chapter 380 Question
Val de Marne, France.
Val-de-Marne is a satellite city of Paris. I came here for no reason other than driving around aimlessly.
The Garden is now complete. If the Garden is a pure killer organization, then Gao Yi’s current team should be called War Hammer, because he has far more mercenaries than killers.
Except for Li Jie, all personnel are in place.
And the information was delivered to Gao Yi on time.
"Iron Fist George in Rotterdam."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi whispered to Green, "The exact location is not very certain yet, but the director said that we will know the exact address of Iron Fist George in a short time. We can rush to Rotterdam first. The director said that we are still not sure where Iron Fist George was last, nor how long he has been in Rotterdam. All these detailed information will only take a few hours if we are fast, but we may never find them if we are slow."
Green nodded, then he fell into deep thought.
After thinking for about ten minutes, Green finally said, "We won't go to Rotterdam until we determine the location."
"why?"
It's not a question, nor is it curiosity, it's simply a request for advice.
"Because Iron Fist George is also in hiding now. As a former professionally trained agent, it is not easy to find him. He will carefully erase the traces he left behind. If he reveals his whereabouts too easily, there will definitely be a problem."
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "According to intelligence from the French External Security Agency, the last time Iron Fist George appeared was in Berlin."
"Berlin, Rotterdam..."
Iron Fist George thought for a moment and said, "If the French can accurately grasp the whereabouts of Iron Fist George, then there is no need to wait for you to kill him."
"Well, the French said that Iron Fist George might be in cahoots with Free Wind, and he showed up on his own initiative to lure me out. Do you think this is possible?"
"First you have to explain to me what Free Wind is."
Gao Yi found that it was not easy to explain it to Green in just a few words.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Free Wind is the CIA's ace agent group. Everything, including the name Free Wind, is a secret. Free Wind is the faction that has close ties with the CIA and the dark web. Well, Free Wind knows five kinds of wind. The ones with exact names now are Breeze, Hurricane, Tornado, and Foehn. One more thing to say, except for Breeze, I killed the others."
Green looked very surprised and said, "You were asked to kill three ace agents of the CIA? I haven't heard of Free Wind... but I've been away from the intelligence center for too long, so it's normal that I haven't heard of him. As for Iron Fist George... he is not qualified to collude with Free Wind, but Free Wind may use him as bait."
"How to say?"
"I know Iron Fist George. He was originally from MI6. I also know that because of him, a diplomatic crisis broke out between Britain and France, and in the end, the two countries' intelligence agencies had to pay for the trouble he caused with a secret war."
At this point, Green looked at Gao Yi sideways and said, "What you did in London was quite arrogant."
It was not until this time that Gao Yi realized that John, Green, and Iron Fist George all came from MI6.
"Well, it's not that I'm arrogant, but..."
Gao Yi hesitated for a moment, then he said seriously: "MI6 is really not that good now. It is not as good as it was when you were there."
It was a small flattery, and even though it was directed at MI6, Green still enjoyed it.
"Yeah, MI6 is like a garbage dump now."
Green said this indignantly, "I don't know Free Wind, but I know you helped the French do a lot of things in London. If Free Wind has a close relationship with the Dark Web, they certainly know your relationship with the French External Security Agency, and they will naturally know that there is a high possibility that you helped the French kill Iron Fist George. Therefore, it is very likely that Free Wind used Iron Fist George to set a trap."
Gao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, that's what my friend at the French External Security Agency said."
"Basic knowledge point: How to escape the pursuit of intelligence agencies from a big country?"
Green, the teacher, was asking questions, and Gao Yi, after thinking for a moment, could only answer uncertainly, "It means escaping in makeup, changing your place of residence frequently, and trying to conceal your whereabouts. Oh, the director said that you should either hide in a place where no one can find you, or keep running so that no one can catch up with you."
Green looked at Gao Yi and said, "Hiding in a place completely isolated from the world is obviously the easiest, but almost no one uses this method. Why?"
"Because humans are social animals, as an elite agent who has received years of professional training, cannot leave women, and has money, how can such a person endure living away from people? So if you want to judge how a person will choose to escape pursuit, you must first analyze his personality. Obviously, Iron Fist George is definitely not the type who enjoys solitude, so the simplest way can be ruled out." John gave a general outline and Green added the details.
Gao Yi nodded and said, "I understand. I'll judge based on his personality."
"The second possibility is to wander around in different places, but it must be a prosperous city that can meet Iron Fist George's needs. In this case, Iron Fist George will have to keep changing his place of residence."
"and then?"
"Then you can't let anyone discover your whereabouts. Being exposed means death. So the French knew that Iron Fist George was in Berlin, but they still failed to kill him in the end. This can only mean that their intelligence was either false or outdated."
Green finished speaking, and he said calmly: "So no matter whether Free Wind used Iron Fist George to lure you out, the intelligence based on the error is obviously unusable and not even worth referring to."
Basic skills are accumulated bit by bit like this.
Gao Yi nodded, and Green continued, "The director's information is credible, so the only thing we can be sure of now is that Iron Fist George is in Rotterdam. Other than that, everything else is blank. But to find Iron Fist George in this situation, we can only hope that the director will send us newer and more accurate information. Otherwise, we'd rather do nothing."
At this point, Green held up three fingers and said, "Lesson 3: In intelligence work, diligence is not a virtue, but caution is. You would rather give up a seemingly good opportunity than take a risk, because every trap must be set up to look like a great opportunity."
If Gao Yi had known Green earlier, he wouldn't have been caught off guard by Free Wind and almost wiped out.
Gao Yi said with emotion: "That makes sense. I set a trap that felt perfect, but Ziyoufeng almost used it to kill me. It turns out that in the eyes of an agent, a great opportunity often means danger. I thought it was too simple."
Green frowned and said, "I'm curious. You have a lot of spies and agents around you. Didn't anyone remind you?"
Panetta, Glass, Abdullah, and Marina, among the many intelligence people around Gao Yi, no one has ever said what Green said about the attitude of an agent towards a good opportunity.
Looking at Gao Yi's expression, Green shook his head and said, "It seems that the people around you are not good enough. Either they are incompetent, or they treat you as a consumable material that can be wasted. No matter which case, they are not good enough."
Gao Yi sighed and said, "Let's get back to the present. What should we do?"
"I told you, wait for intelligence. We don't even have a single entry point that we can exploit. We can either give up on killing Iron Fist George or wait for more accurate intelligence. But we definitely can't just rush to Rotterdam and wander around the streets like idiots. It's impossible to find Iron Fist George this way."
Gao Yi pondered Green's words over and over again, and he felt that they did make sense.
Green said seriously, "You must understand your position clearly. Understand whether you are in the role of an intelligence collector or a terminator in your target. Different situations require different responses, but this time, you are obviously a terminator, so don't touch intelligence gathering. Don't even think about it. Don't set any situations that you think may happen, or preset the location where the target may appear, because everything you know may be false information deliberately leaked to you by the enemy. Whether you are an agent or a killer, protecting yourself is more important than killing the target, unless you regard yourself as consumables."
Just don't have preconceived ideas, so as not to cause trouble for yourself.
Doing nothing is not bad, doing less means fewer mistakes, doing more means more mistakes. This sentence is not really a derogatory term when applied to spies.
Gao Yi said softly: "I understand, thank you teacher."
Thank you very much. Gao Yi respects his teachers very much.
After a while, Green suddenly said, "If the intelligence says that Iron Fist George appeared in the red light district, then this intelligence is false intelligence. Why?"
This is a question to test Gao Yi.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Although Iron Fist George is lustful, he doesn't like prostitution. I don't know what type of women he likes, but I am sure that if he can use prostitution to solve the problem, it won't cause such great damage. Am I right?"
Green nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's right. You are beginning to understand how to analyze a person's behavior based on his hobbies and habits, Iron Fist George..."
Before Green finished speaking, Gao Yi's phone rang.
After the call was connected, John whispered, "He is definitely in Rotterdam, but Iron Fist George discovered that he was exposed. He is trying to escape and his whereabouts are unknown. His last stop was Antwerp three days ago, and his last stop was Brussels two weeks ago. Tell Green all this and he will make a judgment. Also, tell Green that Iron Fist George was frightened. That's all. Contact me when you have news."
Gao Yi put down the phone and relayed John's words to Green.
Green smiled, and then he said to Gao Yi: "The director gave me a question, and then I have to ask you a question. It seems that the director doesn't want you to just be a terminator. He wants you to learn to think. Well, based on these clues now, where do you think Iron Fist George will go?"
