Chapter 962 Institutional Integration
,
After Jote and Brees were "missed", there was no news, but FBI knew that two living people could not disappear for no reason, and they must be in the hands of the "relevant departments" and were waiting for FBI to come to negotiate.
The conditions are equal. If you arrest me, I will arrest you. This was the case during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
This time Schroeder did not contact Fan Wei and Bai Ling directly. It can be imagined that they absolutely denied it. Instead, they vaguely hinted through special channels that they were willing to "exchange" - at this time, no matter what the "two Chinese citizens" identities or whether they had stole cutting-edge military intelligence; no matter what the gun battle in Hong Kong was going on, they knew each other well, and the core requirement was: substitution!
After receiving the message transmitted from the special pipeline, Bai Ling did not agree immediately, and vaguely expressed "will do everything to find it from multiple sources". It took more than ten days until Schroeder urged him to respond that "can be considered".
The exchange location is located on the 38th parallel of North Korea.
Both sides first confirm through video that the hostages exchanged were in good health, with clear thinking, and normal judgment and thinking ability; then repeat the exchange process and every detail. After all, North Korea and South Korea are in a state of hostility, and a slight carelessness will lead to the fire being discharged, and there is no tolerance for any carelessness.
After the preparations were completed, the four people walked opposite each other under the surveillance of countless eyes and countless muzzles, slowly passing through the 38th parallel, and were immediately taken to the hospital for examination, as well as a series of rigorous and complex review work.
A few days later, the US side specially arranged for reporters to ask questions about the progress of the investigation of "two Chinese citizens". The spokesperson solemnly stated that the two had returned to China with mediation from multiple parties, and the specific details were inconvenient to disclose.
When being addressed to this issue, the Chinese spokesperson emphasized that the Chinese government has always been concerned about the legitimate rights and interests of citizens overseas, and advocates complying with relevant agreements and agreements under the framework of international law and the United Nations, and cannot override international law with its own laws.
As for the gun battle in Hong Kong, the police have been under investigation and have never concluded. In fact, all parties understand that there will be no conclusion at all. Those agents are victims of the Sino-US struggle, and death is in vain!
Ye Yun was isolated by Fan Wei in the name of "protection" to the depths of a mountain in the southwest. Although FBI was fundamentally intended to be Yu Xiaoting, Ye Yun was definitely the target of attack after suffering a crushing defeat. On the other hand, Fan Wei wanted to take this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Ye Yun and figure out what she was.
"Considering that the FBI counterattack may have an hindrance to Miss Ye's personal safety, I stayed in the secret base for a while and waited for the wind to pass before returning to Shuangjiang. What do you think?" Fan Wei said beautifully and tactfully.
Fang Sheng also knew Fan Wei’s intention. Given the doubts of all parties about Ye Yun’s origin, it would be better to figure it out thoroughly, so he smiled and said, “Brother Fan is the master of the territory of Brother Fan, and everything is the overall situation first.”
Similarly, after the Hong Kong gun battle, Yu Xiaoting also disappeared without a trace, and even Fang Sheng didn't know where she was.
FBI is worthy of being the most powerful intelligence agency in the world. No one dares to ignore it even if it doesn’t say a word or move a person.
From World War I to now, FBI has only had the share of bullying others. It has never been bullied like this time in Hong Kong, and it was dealt with very badly.
The intelligence community emphasizes the principle of "one reward for one reward". If you kill one, I will kill one; if you catch me, I will catch you.
Fbi can't swallow this cowardly air!
But FBI is also very clear about the past and present of this account: the two sides fought for several rounds, and the fundamental reason was that FBI discovered that Ainia had an illegitimate daughter!
However, the loss was that retired agent James violated the agent's code and concealed it, which made FBI unable to grasp the appearance and specific situation of the illegitimate daughter. Later, he had no clue to search for a needle in a haystack.
The goal was transferred to Yu Xiaoting, which was a helpless move after FBI lost several generals in succession. Someone must be responsible for the incident. Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoting was really hard to deal with, and she was at a disadvantage when she fought several times.
This time, I thought it was a little easier to focus on Ye Yun, but I not only lost a few lives, but also accidentally dug out the "shadow organization" that has plagued FBI for decades, causing trouble for senior management.
As an institution like FBI, it is eager to have strong opponents but not strong enough to get out of control. Through the competition with the former Soviet Union decades ago, CIA and FBI quietly expanded their institutions several times, built intelligence networks around the world, and established an information sharing mechanism with the British MI6, Israel Mossad and others, and initially implemented the goal of extending their tentacles to every corner of the world.
However, a terrible and obvious problem is that the "Shadow Organization" also aims to control the whole world!
What's even more terrifying is that in the past few decades, FBI and intelligence agencies in various countries have not found a little tail of the "Shadow Organization", which means they have no idea what they have done over the years.
Recalling the sensational remarks of government officials in some countries in the past decade, it is a very unreasonable approach; some international organizations and association concepts are becoming increasingly puzzling; some global foundations, social groups and other organizations have become increasingly radical measures, and they can't help but feel creepy.
Is this debt worthwhile to devote all my strength to deal with the powerful organization gradually formed by wings?
Just as FBI and CIA and the Congressional Intelligence Committee were discussing urgently, Fan Wei and Bai Ling were facing an institutional change!
Regarding intelligence, we have always avoided or were more sensitive. From the top, we felt that stealing intelligence was a shameful thing, and tried every means to cover up its true identity, so the management was relatively scattered. In addition to the Ministry of National Security, which has only been publicly recognized in recent years, there are also the Ministry of Public Security that has been extended to ten prefecture-level cities and the anti-terrorism centers established under the new situation, as well as the intelligence departments under the various lines of the Military Affairs Commission, including Fan Wei, and the Intelligence Department of the Foreign Affairs Commission, which have many political affairs, which is not conducive to sharing information and collaborative operations, but also has business intersections and overlapping institutions, resulting in some unnecessary disputes and troubles, which is quite a sense of "fighting between gods and immortals".
It was just a coincidence that due to several diplomatic conflicts this year, the intelligence submitted by several departments was different and even went in the opposite direction. It is said that Chief Sang was furious and said who do I believe? Or does none of them believe?
The intelligence leaders were frightened and rushed to the central organs to apologize. Then, news came out that the intelligence department had been integrated to establish the National Strategic Security Bureau.
The basic structure is: First, the Strategic Security Management Committee is established alongside the Foreign Affairs Committee. The members are composed of Chief Sang, the Vice Chairman of the Military Department's intelligence department, Vice Premier of the Government, Director of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Minister of Public Security, etc. The committee is under the Strategic Security Bureau, which will be independent of the Military Department and the Ministry of Government and directly responsible to the highest level.
The Strategic Security Bureau governs three areas: strategic planning, intelligence security and counter-terrorism. Such designs are based on the current strategic planning, inseparable from intelligence and counter-terrorism, one is the premise and the other is the goal.
Strategic planning also integrates the settings of multiple systems and departments, and the scope is larger and more complex than that of intelligence systems. Due to the relative lapses, there are many people who are bloated and idle. They are also cut and diversion through institutional reform.
Four major centers, strategic planning center, security intelligence center, counter-terrorism center and anti-special center are established under the Strategic Security Bureau.
Fortunately, Bai Ling is unique in the Counter-terrorism center, and it is a natural transition; the Counter-Special Center is a replica of the national security department; the strategic planning and intelligence system are troublesome, and they originally belong to different systems or departments, and neither of them obey each other, resulting in the determination of the position of the top leader of the center is related to the factional struggle.
When it comes to background background, not only Fan Wei has it, but also the head of the intelligence department has two tricks. It is really hard to tell the difference when competing.
Moreover, one of the important factors in the integration of resources at the highest level is to weaken the military's control over the intelligence system, because the probability of military conflict in the peace era is not high, and the concept of national security has undergone subtle changes, focusing on espionage activities hidden underwater such as counter-terrorism and anti-subversion, and anti-peaceful evolution.
In summary, the military headquarters was marginalized during this round of major institutional reforms, and the initiative was truly grasped in the hands of the Organization Department of the Central Committee.
Mr. Fan, Fan Dinglong and others made some efforts and repeatedly hit a wall. After several discussions, Fan Wei felt that he would invite Fang Sheng to come forward!
"Fang Sheng... do you think he is willing to help?" Fan Dinglong frowned, "For him, it is urgent to maintain the position of director of Bai Ling's Counter-Terrorism Center. If the three major centers are involved in two, it will make people feel ugly."
Fan Wei said confidently: "Bai Ling's position can be said to be at ease. It's just a different place to work. If she really touched her, she wouldn't stand it. The Bai family wouldn't take that breath; I am the one he needs to help, and only he can convince Chen Jiao, Yan Shen, and Wei Junsheng's group."
"Xiaowei is right," said Mr. Fan, "The current news is that in addition to Sang, Deputy Wang of the Military Affairs Committee, as well as Minister Shi of Yan, Wei Qing, Guoan and Public Security, we can judge that the next step of studying the candidates for the four major centers will be decided by these people."
Fan Dinglong said: "Wang's attitude is not to help anyone. If he could persuade Chief Yan and Wei Qing... By the way, Minister Shi was supported by Chief Chen. When Chen was the governor in the local area, Shi was the deputy secretary-general of the official prefecture."
"So Fang Sheng must take action!" Fan Wei said.
"Why should he..."
Fan Dinglong said only four words and stopped feeling disappointed.
Regarding Zhenzhen's life experience, only Mr. Fan and Fan Wei and Fan Hongyu discussed it face-to-face. Although Fan Dinglong and his wife knew that they should be kept in the dark, they would block this terrible secret.
If it is really spread, it will bring death disaster to Fang Sheng!
Mr. Fan saw through what his son wanted to express and said slowly: "Xiaowei, at this time, both you and other competitors are staring at each other. You can't show any flaws, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. Dinglong's concern is that, first, Bai Ling is firmly in the position of director of the Counter-Terrorism Center, Fang Sheng should be satisfied. Why frequently contact people related to the War Safety Committee? Second, although the Fan and Bai families reconciled, their knots remained, and Fang Sheng took the risk to help you in theory; third, the current traditional family forces in Kyoto have been under well-known suppression, and Wu Yuming's hand was raised high and has not fallen. Fang Sheng himself was in trouble, so how could he have the energy to help?"
Fan Wei shook his head and said, "Of course he is not suitable to show up in Kyoto at the moment of the storm. There will be a better way to detour... Dad's concerns make sense, but if Fang Sheng has a long-term and forward-looking plan in his career, he must help me. You must know that information and anti-terrorism are inseparable. The two powerful tools are in hand, which will save him a lot of trouble in the future and increase his motivation to move forward... He must help!"
