Chapter 398 Transformation
Chapter 398 Transformation
Don't let people know your cards, but you don't have to and can't be low-key.
Gao Yi’s trump card is Panetta. Green may know it or may not know it, but it doesn’t matter.
As long as the CIA makes any unusual moves in Moscow, Gao Yi will definitely know about it, and he can even use his influence on Panetta to stop the CIA's actions in Moscow. Just based on this, he can be high-profile.
Gao Yi's transformation made Huang Haisheng very happy and surprised Green.
But Gao Yi can make big promises about Da Lan, but he cannot just talk big without any real intention. If he has the ability, he must show it.
Gao Yi took out his cell phone directly. Of course, it was not the phone he used to contact Teacher Mu, but the phone he used to contact Panetta.
At the dinner table, Gao Yi dialed Panetta's number. After the call was connected, he whispered, "It's me. There are a lot of people here. If it's inconvenient, don't tell me. I'm in Moscow now. I suspect that I'm being targeted by Free Wind. They followed me from Germany. Can you help me check if there's anything unusual at the Moscow intelligence station?"
These words are domineering and heroic, and can be summed up in two words: awesome.
Green's expression turned depressed in an instant because he was disappointed.
Huang Haisheng's eyes could not be opened any wider even if he opened them as wide as possible, but they were obviously opened to the limit. The only reason he could not remain calm was because of Gao Yi's words.
Directly asking whether there is anything unusual at the Moscow intelligence station, this sentence is very valuable. Doesn't it mean that Gao Yi can directly communicate with the top CIA officials, and the top officials at that.
"Moscow, there is no unusual movement at the moment. Free Wind should not be able to track you. However, I have someone keep an eye on the situation over there and notify you immediately if there is any news. What are you doing in Moscow? Doing business with the KGB?"
The deal Panetta was talking about was that Gao Yi wanted to sell information on metallic hydrogen to the KGB.
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Yes, I want to make a deal with the KGB. After the deal is done, I will leave and go to Baghdad."
You can speak very frankly.
Panetta whispered, "Be careful, Russians. I'll have someone keep an eye on Moscow. Jolson will let you know if anything happens. Anything else?"
"Nothing else, everything is going well at the moment, that's all."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi said calmly: "Okay, the CIA hasn't received any news, nor has it taken any action. If they make any moves, I will know in advance. Now I will contact the KGB."
Huang Haisheng couldn't help swallowing.
Gao Yi took out another phone.
This time the call was made to Sherkin, but when the call was made, the other party's phone was turned off. Needless to say, Sherkin was most likely on the plane.
Gao Yi put down the phone and said, "The middleman from the KGB is on the plane and will arrive in a few hours at most. Our transaction will be carried out soon. Everyone, have a good rest. Who knows, it may be carried out tonight."
No one spoke. Several people looked at the people around them. Only the sonar operator happily finished the bowl of salad in front of him.
This psychological quality is indeed very strong.
Finally, Huang Haisheng raised his beer glass. He had just taken a sip, so the glass was still almost full.
"Come on, I'll toast to Xiao Gao. I won't say anything else. It's all in the wine. Cheers."
Huang Haisheng drank the entire bottle of beer in one gulp, then he turned the cup upside down to indicate that there was nothing left, and said in high spirits: "Eat the vegetables, eat the meat, eat well and drink well, then go back to sleep and have fun tomorrow."
At this time Gao Yi had not finished drinking yet. He had only drunk less than half of it and had to stop and take a break.
How did Huang Haisheng swallow it?
The fifty-year-old expert hesitated for a moment, then said to Gao Yi, who was still holding up his glass, "I'd like to toast to Mr. Gao as well."
The two sonar operators looked at it and raised their glasses as well.
Gao Yi took a breath and said to the experts, "You're welcome. I'm toasting to you all. Let's take them one by one."
Green sighed, suddenly stood up, and whispered, "You guys have a drink, I'm going to go back and rest."
Troublemaker Green started to spoil the fun because he was very unhappy at the moment.
John gave Green the task of training a new gardener, but now it would be strange for Green to be happy seeing that the gardener might be abducted.
Gao Yi reached out and grabbed Green, then he smiled and said, "Sit down, have a drink, I know what you want to do, I'll take this opportunity and this occasion to say it."
Green still sat down. Gao Yi finished the beer in the glass, then he picked up another bottle, just one bottle for one glass. After filling it up, he said in high spirits: "We are lucky to be sitting here today, so let's just drink happily. When it comes to trading, we can talk about business. When it comes to business, I will argue when necessary and give in when necessary. In short, this is just a business."
Gao Yi is expressing his stance.
Huang Haisheng smiled and said, "Okay, business is business. This is good. I can't drink anymore. Senior, please drink more."
The senior Huang Haisheng was talking about was Green. Green exhaled, picked up the untouched wine glass, thought for a moment, said nothing, and finally picked up the glass and drank it all.
A shit stirring stick can stir up a cesspool, but it can't stir up a pond. Green's efforts were in vain.
Gao Yi left himself a way out that Green couldn't cut off.
Everyone raised their glasses. The sonar operator only took a sip, but everyone else finished the drink.
At this time, Luo Changyou, who had left the table halfway, came back. He happened to see everyone putting down their glasses, so he was a little surprised because the atmosphere at the table was so relaxed. When Luo Changyou sat down again, Huang Haisheng said to him, "You're back just in time. Why don't you toast Xiao Gao, too?"
The drinking culture is unique to the Chinese people. The meaning of toasting and drinking are quite different.
Luo Changyou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give this to Xiao Gao. You can do whatever you want. I'll do it."
When Gao Yi picked up the wine glass, the phone rang. He felt a little dizzy, so he just took a sip. Then he put down the wine glass and picked up the phone in his pocket.
I called Sherkin just now but his phone was turned off, but now Sherkin is calling me.
After answering the phone, Gao Yi whispered, "How is it?"
"I just got off the plane, and I saw you called me, so I called you back."
"I'm in Moscow."
"Okay, I'll contact you first."
Gao Yi said softly: "Let's trade as soon as possible. It's always unsafe to delay it for too long."
"Is everything ready on your end?"
"Yes, everything is ready."
"Okay, I'll contact you right away. We'll do the deal tonight at the earliest. Wait for my news."
After the call was hung up, Gao Yi said to the people who were looking expectant, "The KGB middleman has arrived in Moscow. The transaction will be completed tonight at the earliest."
Luo Changyou still had a calm expression. He looked at everyone and said, "Since there may be activities tonight, let's not drink. Let's eat and rest first."
This time, it was really over.
The atmosphere between Gao Yi and Green was a little awkward, but for an old agent like Green, Gao Yi would obviously not be bothered by such a little embarrassment.
Back in the room, Green acted as if nothing had happened and said to Gao Yi calmly, "The Russian Navy headquarters is in St. Petersburg, and the Navy Archives are also in St. Petersburg. It is unlikely that the KGB can produce the Navy's archives, so the source of the intelligence should be the Security File Storage Center, which also belongs to the archives. If so, the transaction partner is not just the KGB, you must be prepared."
"What should I prepare?"
Green said without hesitation: "Bring some cash. If the KGB gets the files, they won't need the cash. But anything can happen when dealing with the Russians, so it's always a good idea to bring some cash."
"Okay, I know."
Green shrugged and said, "I am a little surprised by your transformation today, but your change is exciting. You should know how to be a leader. I am very happy that you have demonstrated your strength and status in front of the buyers. There is nothing more to say. I am just a bystander now, watching the excitement."
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I don't know if there will be any trade tonight, so go to bed early."
After saying goodbye to Green, Gao Yi returned to his room refreshed.
Lucy was already changing her clothes. When she saw Gao Yi, she said without hesitation, "It's been a strange night, but it's finally over. Do you want to get some sleep or take care of the deal first?"
Lucy is pretty, but I just don't feel like I'm in love with her.
It's true that no one is perfect.
"I'll contact Brother Biao and the others."
Gao Yi called Luca and asked, "Where are you?"
"Your neighborhood, the hotel you stayed in, the car you rented, the gun you bought."
Luca's answer was also concise. He said very straightforwardly: "It's impossible to get close to them for protection, but if something really happens, we can at least provide support."
"Okay, that's enough. We may trade tonight. We'll contact you then."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi looked at Lucy, then lay down on the bed, and said with great emotion: "Today is like a dream. Who would have thought that one day I could become an intelligence dealer, and an intelligence dealer specializing in big business."
Lucy held two pieces of underwear and said in a dilemma: "Which one does the red one look better or the black one? Which one do you want me to wear?"
It was obvious that Lucy didn't care at all about what Gao Yi's part-time job was, nor did she care whether his status had changed.
A simple woman can live a happy life.
Gao Yi took a look and said, "Black, please."
Lucy started to change her clothes. Gao Yi turned his head and said, "Not tonight. Maybe something happened."
At this time, Gao Yi's phone rang again. After answering the call, Xie Erjin whispered, "The items are ready. The transaction will be held at 11 o'clock tonight near the Heping Street subway station."
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Can we only trade on the street? Can't you find a safe place? Buyers have to inspect the goods. You can't inspect the goods on the street. If you can't inspect the goods immediately, you have to delay payment."
Sherkin exhaled and said, "We will meet at Heping Street subway station at 11 o'clock, and then I will take you to a safe place to trade. That's it."
