Chapter 479: The picture shows the dagger
Gao Yi had no intention of sowing discord right away, but now that things had come to this point, and it was Alexander who had brought it up, of course he could just continue along Alexander's lines.

When the bird is dead, the bow is put away; when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked. Everyone knows this. As long as the topic can really be led to this aspect, then everything else will be easy to talk about.

Gao Yi is not someone's black glove, but he can be, or may have been.

In short, the main point is empathy. In addition to empathy, he can also provide Alexander with a vivid example for reference.

Originally, Alexander didn't intend to say this, but he is always afraid of comparison.

After following the boss for several years and making a lot of money, he didn't save much of his own money. In the end, he got a position, which seemed to be a promotion, but he was actually exiled far away.

Although one has to go out to achieve success, the problem is that after Alexander has the background of the big boss's black gloves, it will be difficult for him to be transferred back to the Moscow headquarters. No one will regard him as one of their own, so his fate is already doomed, that is, he will be transferred from one country to another. Anyway, he is always the chief officer of a region, but if he wants to enter the core circle, that's just dreaming.

And this is the result when Nickley was in power. What is even more terrifying is that after the director was replaced, Alexander, the black glove of the former director, still wanted to make a living. The best result would be to quit the KGB like Shelkin and make a living by relying on the previous relationship to make some money.

Of course, Alexander could also choose to retire and spend the rest of his life in a beautiful place with mountains and rivers.

But this is not the most terrible result. The most terrible thing is that Nick Ray simply finds an opportunity to kill him.

After all, Alexander knew so much, and everyone knew that only the dead would keep their mouths shut.

Now Alexander doesn’t know what will happen to him, but he has an extra ten million dollars in his pocket.

Should he quit and live the rest of his life comfortably with the reward money, or should he go against the current and try to stay in the core circle of the KGB?

Gao Yi was waiting for Alexander's choice.

Alexander exhaled, and said calmly: "Our director is about to step down. He is not trusted by the president."

Finally, Alexander started complaining to a stranger.

"So I have to move away, so as not to give my successor a chance to catch me. He wants to pave the way for himself, and I... will be thrown away like garbage."

As the saying goes, when the birds are all gone, the bow is put away. Everyone understands this. As for those who are put away by the bow, there is a thousand-year-old rhetoric that can be passed down in the East for them to choose.

Gao Yi nodded, sighed, then stood up, took two steps, and suddenly said, "Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead. Everyone in the world knows you."

After that, Gao Yi said to Alexander: "This is a poem, the meaning is..."

"I know."

Alexander nodded, and then he said in Chinese: "Tang, Gao Shi, and Dong Da."

Gao Yi felt a little unhappy. This Alexander lacked the most basic courtesy as a human being.

How can a person behave like this? How can you refuse someone's comfort? How can you interrupt someone when they are showing off?

Alexander sighed slightly, and he smiled: "But if someone like me is known by everyone, it means...death."

Okay, I didn't think about it, that's exactly what happened.

"Ahem, what can I say? If I am not welcome here, I will go somewhere else. You can go anywhere in this big world. Even if you go to Syria, you can still make a name for yourself."

Gao Yi seemed very casual. He said to Alexander, "But unfortunately, if you go to Syria, there will be no possibility for us to cooperate. You know that Syria is very important to Russia now. You will have many opportunities to display your abilities if you go there. But for us, it is a forgotten corner with almost nothing to do."

What I mean is, if you leave, our cooperation will come to an end.

Alexander whispered, "I thought that relying on the assassin business you subcontracted would allow me to stay. Although this option is not safe, I at least still have a chance. Unexpectedly, I was unable to change the situation."

After that, Alexander said to Gao Yi in a deep voice: "I work for Nick Ray and handle some things for him that cannot be seen in the light. But I worked for him for five years and got less than three million dollars in total. However, I only worked with you once, and you gave me ten million."

That's it, and it's like this again.

Gao Yi now feels that money is easy to make and he has more than he can spend.

But money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat, this is the mainstream perception of the world.

The richer a person is, the richer he will get. Gao Yi did not use his money to do business that could make money, but he had many and wide ways to make money, so he would naturally be on the right path.

Alexander and Tradewind were in similar situations. They did dangerous jobs, earned relatively meager incomes, and were not recognized by the country. In the end, they became victims of power struggles.

It's just that Alexander is even more miserable. He is the Black Glove and is not as good as the Trade Wind. At this time, Gao Yi can extend an olive branch.

"I'm familiar with your situation. I've seen it happen a lot."

Gao Yi smiled with understanding and said, "Most of my people are in the same situation as you. I have ace agents from the CIA, MI6, and the French Foreign Intelligence Service. They were marginalized just like you, but they got a new life here with me."

Waving his hand, Gao Yi continued: "Do you think they are making money by following me? No, they are gaining freedom, and gaining the attention they didn't get before, and they can also get a higher status. Speaking of this, do you think I am recruiting you?"

"Isn't that what you meant?

Gao Yi shook his head and smiled, "No, because my people must maintain a very good relationship with their original units, but you obviously don't have this condition. Excuse me, once you are transferred out of Moscow, it will be a question whether you can keep your life, let alone maintain a healthy relationship with the KGB. Do you understand? I'm talking about a healthy relationship, the kind that allows you to communicate at any time and borrow the power of the KGB at any time."

These words were blunt and heartbreaking. Alexander was a smart man. While he felt hurt, he also knew that Gao Yi looked down on him.

Gao Yi continued, "To be honest, I was planning to have the KGB send someone to join the Garden, just like this time, to perfectly demonstrate the benefits and use the KGB's resources to do the work of a killer for me. This job is so easy, but you are being transferred away, and it is obvious that you are no longer trusted, so why would I recruit you? Just to make you a killer? Sorry, the last thing I need here is killers."

Alexander exhaled, nodded, and said, "I understand. Thank you for the ten million. For this, I can connect you with the director so that you can contact each other directly."

Gao Yi shook his head and said, "You are wrong again. I am not doing this just to get in touch with him."

Alexander looked at Gao Yi quietly.

Gao Yi said seriously: "Can't you think of a way to stay?"

Alexander couldn't help laughing. He whispered, "No, I've tried everything, but it's clear that I have to leave."

"I think you didn't find the right person. The key is that you didn't give enough benefits."

Gao Yi was about to start showing off. Since he had chosen to pick on Alexander, he naturally had to find a way to ignite the fire in Alexander's heart.

The fire of hope.

"As long as you can stay in the headquarters and don't get transferred, it will be fine. Even if you are transferred to a new position or demoted, as long as you can get the favor of the next director, you can be promoted."

Alexander shook his head and said, "I don't know how you did it before, but Russia is different, and the KGB is different too. The new director will not trust me, and will not use me."

Russia is indeed different from other countries, and the KGB is completely different from the CIA.

The director of the CIA is just a mascot, but the director of the KGB can really hold all the power.

In addition, the directors of the KGB are all professionals who are well versed in their business. They must have their own team when they take office, and it is basically impossible for them to take over the black gloves of their predecessors.

But Gao Yi's original intention was not to let Alexander continue to be the black glove.

Gao Yi now has high vision and great courage.

"Yes, the new director will not trust you, nor will he use you. But what if you helped him get promoted? What will happen then?"

Alexander was shocked.

Just as Alexander's speed shocked Gao Yi, Gao Yi's proposal made Alexander feel a shudder from the bottom of his heart.

"That's impossible. I don't have the ability."

"Look at Sherkin, he was the former director's black glove. Look at what he looks like now and what he has done. Can you do what he did? You may not even be able to save your life now. Don't you want to try a completely different path from before?"

Alexander took a deep breath.

Gao Yi continued, "I don't want to control the candidate for the director of the KGB. I don't have the ability or the ambition. I just admire you and hope that you can play a greater role as a link between me and the KGB. You are very familiar with the situation of the KGB, and you should know who is likely to become the next director. If you ask me, you should choose someone who has hope but not so much hope to invest in and take a gamble. Maybe with your help, the next director will be replaced."

Alexander swallowed and said, "I...I..."

"I'm betting. I can bet that the new director and I have a very deep friendship, because I believe that icing on the cake is never as good as helping someone in need, so I am willing to bet. Losing will have almost no impact on me, but if I win, I can get a thousand times the return, so why don't I bet?"

After finishing speaking, Gao Yi smiled at the dazed Alexander and said, "Go back and try to connect me with Director Nick Ray. Also, think carefully about what I said. I hope it can inspire you."
