Chapter 517: Just Business
Chapter 517: Just Business
Gao Yi felt that he was becoming more and more like the villain in the movie.
In the dark corners, doing shameful things.
The director of the KGB had not yet been announced, but after Plenov returned, he did something that shocked many people. He submitted a written application to Nikole, who was about to step down but had not yet stepped down, requesting that Alexander be transferred to the Security Bureau as deputy director.
Nikole could approve it or not, but Plenov's behavior made him confused for a moment.
Then Lyudlins suddenly launched an attack, accusing Alexander from his hospital bed of possibly being involved in the corruption of Deputy Director Yelinsey.
Liudlins mainly attacked Yelinsey, but he also took Alexander with him. However, Alexander was Nikolay's black glove. Once Alexander was really investigated, the fire would be directed at Nikolay.
Liudlins is not crazy, nor is he ungrateful.
Attacking someone doesn't mean they are your enemy, and protecting someone doesn't mean they are your friend.
Liudlins' sudden attack forced Nikolaev to change his attitude immediately. He had to protect Alexander now. Otherwise, the day he stepped down would be the day when the KGB would launch an investigation and settle accounts with him.
Liudelins has not been able to prove his innocence yet, but the evidence against Yelinsay is becoming more and more sufficient. It is unknown how much of it is real dirt on Yelinsay and how much is Liudelins' frame-up of Yelinsay. But under Liudelins' all-out attack, Yelinsay will be lucky to keep his life, let alone become the director.
The situation seemed to be going well for the third-in-command, Pozharsky. He chose not to help either side and stayed out of the matter. He just wanted to wait quietly for Liudlins and Yelinsay to die together, and then the position of director would fall on his butt.
Then, before a day had passed, Yelinsai and Nicklay took action.
Pozharsky was the first to fall. He was taken away for investigation because he was found to have huge assets of unknown origin. The order was signed by Nikola himself.
As long as he leaves office, Nikola is the director of the KGB and the orders he signs are valid.
The situation of the KGB changed three times in one day. After the video of Lyudlins was released, only one day and one night passed, and Yelinsey was only a suspect, but Pozharsky was the first to be convicted.
The evidence is overwhelming, there is no way to escape.
Then Nickley talked to Alexander in person. After the conversation, Alexander immediately resumed work and was able to go out at will.
It was thought that the delay would last a long time, but in less than forty-eight hours, the three people most likely to succeed the position of director of the KGB all fell.
Everything was going according to Yuri's instructions.
Now is the most critical moment, and what Gao Yi has to do is to give another gentle push at this most critical moment.
But at this critical moment, Alexander dared not take it lightly, so after leaving the KGB, the first thing he did was to meet Gao Yi first.
"The situation is changing too fast. I think the president will soon appoint a new director to put an end to the KGB's current chaos. However, it is very likely that neither Lyudlins nor Yelinsey will be fired, and there is no hope that Plenov will be able to take over as director. The current situation is very chaotic and troublesome."
Alexander didn't know what happened inside. He was an insider, but he didn't know what Gao Yi had done and what else he could do.
But Alexander was a smart man. He knew who he should rely on, or who he should cooperate with.
"Now we just need a contribution that is significant enough for you and Plenov. You can do it and make contributions together with Plenov."
Time was too tight to create any tense atmosphere, nor was it too late for Alexander to slowly make his own choice. Gao Yi could only give him a great achievement for a spy. "The CIA has an intelligence line in Moscow that has been running for forty years. It has existed since the Soviet era, but you have never discovered it. Now, go back and find Plenov. You two can forge a clue or make up a clue, and then you go out and capture the core figure of this intelligence network."
Qinpu may appoint a new director at any time, so what we have to do is race against time and not waste even a second.
Alexander was a little confused, because what Gao Yi was going to give him was not just some random person, but a spy who was extremely important to the CIA.
"who?"
"A mole, and the entire intelligence line that serves this mole. You can catch the mole, and you can catch the person in charge of the intelligence line, but you must ensure that the others leave safely. If possible, cooperate with the CIA and let the CIA handle the crisis perfectly."
Alexander agreed of course, and he said without hesitation: "Okay, who is the mole."
"Shorov, an official from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, has been selling intelligence to the United States. The person in contact with him is an American named Evangel who is working openly in Russia as a journalist. You arrest these two people and let the others go, or keep them under surveillance and wait for the CIA to find a way to rescue them."
Kill two birds with one stone. Panetta wants to eliminate dissidents, but he doesn't want to involve everyone in the entire line.
Alexander was still thinking about how to find clues.
This kind of thing of shooting first and setting up a target later is too easy to do. It's not easy to catch a spy, but isn't it easy to make up a reason after catching him?
"I'll go back and arrange for personnel to start the arrest operation. Is there anything else you should pay attention to?"
"Hurry up, there's nothing else."
Alexander looked at Gao Yi deeply. He seemed a little hesitant. Gao Yi could only take the initiative to ask: "Are you worried about something?"
"If Plenov can really become the director, then he and I will..."
Alexander now truly sees the possibility of success, and is so close to success, so he has to start thinking about issues that he had not considered before.
That is, after Plenov really becomes the director, will he become Gao Yi's puppet like him?
The fact that being a puppet is unpleasant is secondary. What is important is that once you become someone else's puppet and are forced to do many things that are harmful to Russia, once the truth is revealed, you will lose even the chance to survive.
Gao Yi said seriously: "Everything is based on voluntariness. No one will force you to do anything, let alone threaten you to do anything. Everything is business, and we only do business."
Alexander nodded, and then he said to Gao Yi very seriously: "Okay, I will take this as your promise, and I hope you can do it."
Gao Yi said to Alexander: "Wait for your good news."
Now Gao Yi just wants to resolve the issues in Moscow as soon as possible. Once issues here are resolved, he can go about his own business.
Your own business is more important.
