【Chapter 433】
“The time that made this website famous and in the limelight was last year, with the cooperation of three well-known traditional media outlets: The New York Times, The Guardian and The Mirror, Li published an astonishing number of articles on the Internet.
The secret documents of the US military stationed in Afghanistan have caused an uproar. This large-scale leak of military intelligence is considered to be a negative version of the four-year "Pentagon Papers leak case" in the United States. And this is just the beginning!"
The U.S. government’s confidential report stated that the website’s behavior has posed a serious threat to the “intelligence security and operational security” of U.S. government agencies; it said that some secrets leaked on the website may “affect the U.S. government’s
Domestic and overseas operational security.” The contents of this report, produced by the military’s counterintelligence agency, were also leaked online.
The report pointed out that if the person who leaked the relevant documents could be prosecuted, it would undoubtedly "create a certain deterrent effect" for those who try to use the website to leak other military secrets. In addition, the report also accused the website of advocating that it would not
Review any leaked documents and openly support and encourage intelligence criminal activities. This violates the national security law and constitutes the crime of incitement and espionage.
"Highly classified documents from the U.S. government and military are often favored by this site.
There are two famous leaks on this website. After the private email of Palin, the former governor of Alaska, was stolen by hackers, it was published on this website by militants who were about to be shot dead by US helicopters. In addition, the CIA report
, memos and surveillance videos can also be seen on this website.
In April, this website became famous because it posted a video of US military helicopters attacking Iraqi civilians, which attracted the attention of netizens around the world. The content of the video was that in 2007, US military Apache helicopter gunships attacked a group of Iraqis in Baghdad.
people, killing several civilians, including two Reuters employees. Previously, the Pentagon had blocked the video from being released. After the video was released, the Pentagon claimed that it regretted hurting innocent people.
The release of tens of thousands of secret documents on the U.S. war in Afghanistan once caused the U.S. Department of Defense to lose face. The Pentagon publicly condemned, criticized, and even threatened, but privately contacted leak websites through lawyers. It hoped to cooperate.
Some files that are not good for the image of the United States and would make ordinary people angry were deleted. Obviously, they wanted to keep them private. But I don’t know whether it was a matter of price or whether the leak network insisted on principles. This measure of the military was criticized.
The founder of the website, Julian, publicly exposed it.
The Pentagon was embarrassed and could only admit that there had been contact, but asking them to return the information was not asking them to publish a "purified abbreviated" version of the document.
In short, the two sides have broken down. A company once sued this website, but the lawsuit was lost; but a country's military is not something that ordinary companies can compare with. Julian, the founder of the only public website, began to encounter a lot of pressure.
Including several sex scandal cases that were manipulated to suppress his credibility. But Julian was not bribed or attacked. The website later published secret documents of the US military in the Afghanistan war and secret documents of the US military in the Iraq war."
After listening to Yueyao's introduction, Li Yan could basically guess the outcome.
"Because the international influence at that time was so great, and the whole world was watching, even if the Pentagon hated him deeply, it could not directly kill Julian. There should have been a lot of attacks on the website's server. However,
One side is in the open, the other side is in the dark, one side is a salaried employee, and the other side is an enthusiast with general beliefs. Hehe, since people can make CIA reports, memos and even surveillance videos public, this in itself shows the strength of hackers. Since
This website has never collapsed, and I believe that the United States has also lost in the hacker war."
Yue Yao nodded: "That's right. In addition, this is not registered in the United States, and Julian is not an American. The laws of the United States cannot control him at all. Therefore, in terms of black and white, there is no way to effectively crack down.
"Now, it's time to settle accounts after the fall! This founder is also the spiritual leader of these volunteers, and killing him can prevent more problems from emerging. But I didn't expect Julian to come to China for refuge
"Li Yan smiled.
"It's very simple. China has strict gun control. China has a large population and is easy to hide. China is not an ally of the United States. In a sense, it would rather see more scandals break out on the US side. Therefore, whether it is political considerations or
The actual benefit is that it would be better for him to come to China than to hide in other countries. I didn't expect that the volunteers and supporters of the leaders hiding around the world are so powerful. It is understandable to pay for high-level bodyguards. But contact the cloth-level
A killer mission, hunting down American agents, requires not only strong financial support, but also connections and courage." Yue Yao said with some approval.
For Li Yan, when he was the killer Chan, he only had value in his eyes, not the identity of the target!
So what if they are fighting for freedom and against power? That is their ideal. Killers will not work in vain, and no one will die without money;
What about American agents? As long as the price is right, the President of the United States will have someone to do it!
Of course, except for the people he cares about.
"What's the price now? How many people are participating in this task?" Li Yan asked
For such a big deal, the agents dispatched by the U.S. government and intelligence agencies will definitely not be just a few, but they must all be elites! On the contrary, killers who have reached the top level often fight alone. Just like the old representatives
But to actually perform super-class tasks, other "gun, blade, fist, etc.-level killers will not arrange for them to go unless "they" appear and a second "flower"-level one appears, and that is actually a super-level one.
He's a killer. He still eats alone.
As a result, it is very difficult for a single super killer to kill a group of top agents; even if a killer organization wants to do it, it will result in lose-lose consequences for both parties.
Similarly, the employer will not allow "possible" results to occur. What they want is the safety of the target person. There is only one life. If once he dies, it will be meaningless no matter how much money they pay. So, this
It will be a task for multiple parties to act at the same time!
"The current price is one million US dollars for the life of an agent. So far, three people have taken over the task, and I don't know who they are." Yue Yao introduced seriously: "However, the team of leakers hidden behind them,
It is indeed powerful. It is said that it has obtained the lists and information of all agents who will come to China.
In other words, as long as the killers kill according to head count without killing one more person, Julian's risk will be smaller."
"One million dollars? Haha, their lives are quite valuable! Didn't you take it for me? Take it. These days, people are becoming more and more stingy. They are willing to spend so much money to kill people, and they are still selling in bulk.
Very good!"
Although he would accept any task on his behalf, when Li Yan heard Yueyao's tone, he knew that she had only contacted and understood her, but had not accepted the task. She still discussed it with him now.
Seeing that Li Yan agreed so quickly, Yueyao was a little hesitant. In the past, she would never say anything about the things he decided. Even if it was a dangerous task, she believed that he could definitely do it. But this time, she felt that persuasion
one time!
"Do you really want to do it? In fact," we have saved a lot over the years. It is enough for you to retire. Even if you don't retire so soon for "them", you can still take on as few tasks as possible. Especially ", like this
Ren Yueyao was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she added: "I'm not saying that you are old, nor that you are afraid of Americans, but you have to think about it, you are different now. You have Sister Yurong now.
It’s what you like and it’s suitable for your current life!”
Li Yan smiled slightly. Of course he would not misunderstand Yue Yao's concern. He knew it in his heart. Even if the whole world betrayed him, Yue Yao would not betray him! Because this is what he was born for!
"As a killer, you shouldn't have so many bonds. Once you have bonds, the best thing is to quit. But I can't quit," Li Yan sighed, "You will know some things in the future. Be honest!
After two years of rest, I haven’t had any real big events. If I worry about getting old, then I’m really starting to get old. But now, my heart is not old yet. My person is not old. As for language
Rong: "Hey, now that you have a wife, shouldn't it be more important to make money to support the family and prepare money for milk powder in the future?"
Yueyao was very speechless and rolled her eyes at him: "Can you find a better reason? To support the family? Money for milk powder? With Yurong's family background, do I still need you to support the family? Will there still be a shortage of money for milk powder?"
"Read! I'm a man. I can't rely on my wife for a living. Besides, you also know that my peach blossoms are a little brighter. In addition to Yurong, there is also Xiaodi, you, and," I don't know what will happen in the future.
What do you think, how can I bear to let you be a wet nurse in the future?"
Li Yan sighs and sighs. Yueyao heard nothing at first, but in the middle, she started to feel a little strange. How come I was included in the list? And it was counted alongside Zhang Yurong and Yu Xiaodi. What does that mean?
? Even if I follow you in the future, I won’t be able to earn much. I have never calculated my remuneration in detail in these years. In total, it is more than enough to support myself for a lifetime, right?
When she heard the last sentence, Yueyao's face suddenly turned red, "What are you talking about? Yurong, are you worried that you can't find the wet nurse?"
"Hey, what about you? If we have a child, would you rather do the hard work yourself or leave it to the nanny?" Li Yan was half-joking, but he knew that Yueyao should understand that what he said was true.
