Chapter 527 Spring is coming

Chapter 527 Spring is coming
Martin's eyes flickered.

It’s not that he didn’t believe it, but happiness came too suddenly, making it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

Did spring come so suddenly?

"My boss? My boss! Uh, my boss..."

Martin was still trying to understand and follow Gao Yi's thinking, but just as he was thinking about who his superiors were, Christopher suddenly said, "It's not your superior, but the regional director, that is, the FBI director in charge of the entire Los Angeles area!"

Martin swallowed and said, "You're talking about the regional director, but there are many levels between me and the regional director."

The gap that is within reach is easy to solve, but if the gap is too big, it will be difficult to deal with.

The FBI also has a rank system. To move up a level, it takes at least two to three years. There is no such thing as a leap forward just by making a great contribution.

"What level are you at now?"

Gao Yi really didn’t know Martin’s level before.

Martin whispered slightly embarrassedly: "A3, senior agent."

Gao Yi blinked, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How many levels are there in total?"

"Fourteen."

"What's your position? Can you be more direct?"

Martin shrugged and said helplessly, "I am a senior agent, that is, A3 level, which is the third from the bottom. The FBI has ten levels of A level and four levels of D level."

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, then said, "You've been in the FBI for 20 years, and you've only been promoted two levels? What's the level of the regional director in Los Angeles?"

Martin whispered, "Executive Assistant Director, A9, Los Angeles is a large district, the level is very high."

Alexander could reach the threshold of deputy director in the KGB.

But Martin couldn't even get a regional director position in the FBI.

This is the difference.

Gao Yi started to have a headache.

Martin continued: "The gap between me and the regional director is too big. I don't know his details and background at all..."

What could Gao Yi say? He certainly couldn't say anything about being a hopeless case. If Martin hadn't been doing so badly, how could he have taken him seriously and how could he have gotten to know him.

Gao Yi fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said to Martin, "Although it's difficult, you still have to give it a try. Well, if you make a great contribution, you can at least be promoted to the next level, right?"

"It depends on your achievements. You may be promoted to two levels. I can be promoted to supervisory agent. Then the next level is assistant agent supervisor. Then you can command a team or a group."

"Well, first I'll find a way for you to make a contribution and be promoted to the level of special agent supervisor, and then..."

"Not the chief of agents, but the assistant chief of agents. The next level up is assistant director, and then you can be the director in some less important areas."

It turns out that adding the word "execute" in front makes it much more important.

Gao Yi was still pondering, but Martin continued, "The higher you go, the harder it is. It's very difficult. Once you reach the position of executive assistant director, you have already touched the threshold of a senior official. There are not many in the FBI, so you are already a senior official..."

Gao Yi nodded and said, "Well, the first step is to be promoted to assistant agent supervisor. You must have your own people first. No, this is too troublesome. How many more years of hardship will you have to endure?"

It is too troublesome to upgrade step by step. Martin can wait, but Gao Yi can't wait either.

Think about Glass, how did he get promoted so quickly? Wasn’t it just because he changed his unit?

A tree that is moved will die, but a person who is moved will live. If all else fails, just move to another place.

Gao Yi exhaled and said, "I don't really understand the ins and outs here, so I'd better ask someone with experience."

Martin felt that he had to find a way out for Gao Yi, so he whispered, "Yes, we'll think about these things later. The most important thing now is to deal with Lana's matter first. How do you need my cooperation?"

"No, no, Lana's matter is very simple. As for your matter, now that it has been mentioned, just do it quickly."

Gao Yi picked up the phone and called Panetta.

Panetta must be giving Gao Yi face now. He will answer Gao Yi's call at any time.

"I have a friend from the FBI, and I want to help him get promoted quickly, but I don't know exactly how to do it. Do you have any good ideas?"

"What level?"

"A3."

Panetta frowned, but Gao Yi mentioned his own people first, which meant that he must help this person, so Panetta did not say anything excessive or unpleasant. For example, Panetta did not mention such a small person, why should you care about him.

"The level is a bit too low. It will take at least half a year, and the highest you can get is A7."

Gao Yi looked at Martin and said, "How about upgrading to A7 in half a year? Do you have the power?"

Martin opened his mouth, his eyes widened, then he swallowed and whispered, "This... is this a joke..."

Richard couldn't help but whispered, "Of course I'm not kidding! A7, Assistant Director! He can already be the director of many local bureaus! He is a mid-level official in the FBI, and this level already has a lot of very practical powers!"

A bystander sees things more clearly and does not have that much psychological pressure.

Gao Yi said into the phone: "Half a year to get A7, that's fine."

Panetta whispered, "First, transfer him to the FBI's counterintelligence department. Right now, the FBI's counterintelligence department has no presence. After you transfer him there, give him some intelligence and let him be responsible for catching a spy."

"He was originally in charge of intelligence and homeland security, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to become A3."

Panetta took a deep breath and said, "Is it true? How old is he? How long has he been working?"

Gao Yi said to Martin: "How old are you this year? How long have you been working?"

"I am 44 years old and have been in the FBI for 22 years."

Gao Yi immediately said: "He has been working for 22 years."

Panetta whispered, "How did he get by? Well, he might get another promotion within half a year. He already has the two necessary conditions, which are seniority and years of service. First, let him do some meritorious service and catch a spy. He can be promoted two levels in a row, and then he can be seconded to the Department of Homeland Security. Note, not transferred to the Department of Homeland Security, but seconded. Let him work there for a few months. Then catch a spy and let him get promoted two levels in the Department of Homeland Security. Then let the FBI take him back. In this way, he will be directly A7. With some activities, he can be the director of a local bureau without any problem."

"So simple?"

"Yes."

"Can you raise it a little bit more?"

"Then he would have to become a star and get an award from the president, but it's best not to do that, because if he becomes a star, the attention he receives would be too great, and it would be inconvenient for him to do things for you in the future."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you. Then please help catch the two spies."

"Well, I'll have someone choose two suitable ones for him. Just contact Jolson about this matter."

"Okay, sorry, thank you."

Gao Yi hung up the phone and said to Martin, "First, you catch a spy, then transfer to the Department of Homeland Security, and be promoted to A7 within half a year, and then we'll see what happens."

Richard's eyes were a little straight. He wanted to speak, but was embarrassed to do so.

Gao Yi looked at Richard and asked, "Do you want to stay in the FBI or change places?"

Richard is now at a higher level than Martin, but it is obvious that Gao Yi's focus is Martin, not him.

"Can I, too? Can I...can I go to the Department of Homeland Security? I mean, I think we should have our own people in the Department of Homeland Security, right?"

"Okay, you're right, Sheriff, do you have any ideas?"

Christopher's eyes widened a little. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd better forget it. I'm about to retire."

"Think about it, take your time, and tell me when you have any ideas."

Gao Yi felt that he should strike while the iron was hot, because a small fry in the FBI obviously couldn't help him at all, but if Martin was a big boss in the FBI, then it would obviously be different.

Martin looked at Gao Yi eagerly and whispered, "Thank you, but I have a problem. I have another identity..."

Gao Yi said seriously: "You are worried about your identity in the Red and Blue Group, right? It doesn't matter. Now think about who will stand in your way and kill him."

Martin was surprised and asked, "Huh?"

"Kill whoever is in the way, and give money to whoever is helpful. Isn't it that simple? Let's prepare a budget of 10 million US dollars. Give money to those who can, and kick out those who can't. If you have any problems, just tell us and someone will do it for you. Don't be polite or afraid. We have people and money. Upgrading to level 4 in half a year is just a basic goal."

Is Gao Yi bragging?
No, Gao Yi really wasn’t bragging.

In other words, Gao Yi is not familiar with the FBI system, otherwise he would have started to do it now.

Martin suddenly discovered that spring had come.

In fact, it was not a sudden discovery. It was just that now Martin could finally be sure and finally dared to believe that his spring had really come.
