The Blacklist

Chapter 166 Joint Spider Extermination Operation
When Carrie returned home that night, she noticed that something was obviously wrong with Elizabeth, so she asked Gina to ask her about it.

Gina came back soon and told him: Reddington told Elizabeth something about her mother...

Carrie was stunned. This was something he had not expected. Old Reddington had really changed. It seemed that his previous actions had worked! This was good. Elizabeth would know what she should know, so as to avoid so many misunderstandings in the future. However, he had to confirm how much Reddington had said.

During the meal, seeing that Elizabeth was still in a daze, Carrie said, "Liz, listen to what Lao Lei said, and tell me and Gina!"

Elizabeth came back to her senses after hearing this, and looking at Carrie and Gina's curious expressions, she told them everything she knew from Reddington. In her heart, the two of them were the closest people to her, so naturally she would not hide anything from each other.

When Carrie heard that Reddington even told Elizabeth that there was an impostor of Katarina, she nodded secretly. This was a very smart move, letting Elizabeth know that the people or things that came to her in person or told her by others might not be true, so as to avoid being easily deceived.

Gina usually doesn't talk much outside. She only talks more at home or when she is with Kerry and Elizabeth. At this time, she asked with concern: "Liz, since your mother is still alive, will you go to find her?"

Elizabeth shook her head and said, "I think what Lao Lei said is right. Mother has been hiding from many enemies for so many years. She may be living a precarious life now. And someone must know about my existence - at least the secret society knows about it. It is very likely that these people or forces are watching me in secret now!
"If I take any action, these people or forces will definitely follow me, and then I'm afraid it will bring danger to my mother... So, I can't move. I believe that with my mother's ability, if she can get rid of danger, she will definitely find a chance to see me. If she doesn't come, I won't act rashly!"

"Very good!" Carrie was very pleased to hear this. Compared with the original plot, Elizabeth is much more mature now! Of course, there are also reasons why Reddington took the right approach, but no matter what, such a heroine will save her a lot of trouble, which is a good thing.

However, the current situation is somewhat special, and some things must be prepared in advance, so he said: "Liz, now that you know your life experience and that the Russian 'Wolf Spider' has arrived in the United States, I have reason to believe that the arrival of this top Russian agent is related to you!"

Elizabeth was stunned when she heard what he said. They had never thought of this before.

Kerry continued, "'Wolf Spider' is definitely planning a big conspiracy. We don't know what he is going to do yet, but we have to be vigilant. So, I have a request for you now, which is: no matter at any time, if I give you a clear order, do not hesitate and execute it immediately. Can you do it?"

"Yes." Elizabeth trusted Carrie much more than she trusted anyone else. She didn't think about anything else at this moment and immediately nodded and agreed.

"Well, let's eat!" Carrie said, "After dinner, I'll give you an injection and then a badge!"

Gina knew what it meant to issue a badge, but "give an injection"... She glanced at Elizabeth, who was a little stunned, and immediately knew what Liz had thought of, and couldn't help but burst out laughing!
Elizabeth's face also began to turn red...
-
On Monday, in Carrie's office in SLR, Elizabeth introduced to her partners the new intelligence she got from Reddington: "Wolf Spider" Kara Kurt is nominally a senior agent of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, but in fact she is a pawn of the secret society. No matter what she wants to do when she comes to the United States this time, as long as it endangers the interests of the United States, all Western countries, including the US government, will think that it was instructed by the Russian government!
Therefore, Reddington believes that this is a "false flag" operation specially designed to strain relations between the United States and Russia, and its purpose is most likely to push the United States and Russia into a "Cold War" state again!
Everyone was shocked to hear this conclusion. Although most people had not experienced the Cold War, after entering law enforcement or intelligence agencies, they all knew something about that period and knew how serious the consequences would be. Could the secret society have gone so far? This was the common question of everyone.

At this time, DOJ Deputy Minister Wright, who was specially invited, frowned tightly!
Cooper said, "Everyone, although there is no other evidence to prove Reddington's judgment, it is certain that this 'Wolf Spider' is definitely not coming to the United States for vacation! In order to avoid greater harm to national interests, we must capture or eliminate it as soon as possible.

"Well, I have discussed this with Deputy Minister Wright and Director Kerry. The operation to capture Wolf Spider will be jointly carried out by SER and SLR, with Director Kerry as the overall commander... Did you understand?"

"I heard it clearly!" Everyone responded. This was something that everyone agreed with. Even under normal circumstances, they would listen to Carrie's orders. Now that Cooper had publicly and clearly authorized them, they had to listen even more.

Next, Deputy Minister Wright came on stage and encouraged everyone to solve the case as quickly as possible, arrest the criminals, and safeguard national interests under the command of the two supervisors, Kerry and Cooper...

Then, Carrie came on stage and after a brief speech, he began to arrange tasks for everyone.

First, he asked Donald and Mira to contact the CIA's Russian and European Intelligence Analysis Section to inform them of Kara Kurt's entry and request their investigation materials on this person over the years in order to seek coordinated action.

However, everyone knows that the possibility of this happening is extremely low, and the two special service departments of the CIA and the FBI will not cooperate sincerely, but this gesture is still made.

Then, Carrie arranged for SLR's technical director Abby and SER's engineer Alam to work together to use city surveillance and communication networks to search for traces of "Wolf Spider" and provide support for field operations.

Arrange Elizabeth and Gina into a team to coordinate the cooperation between the two departments and Reddington;
Nawabi and Tom are in a team responsible for contacting relevant informants from the FBI, IRS and Mossad to grasp the trends of the underground world in Washington.

Kerry asked SLR's security director Katie to unify the command of the guard forces of the SLR and SER departments, be responsible for the security of the entire post office building, and have the right to close the building when necessary.

In addition, there are SLR's Jeffrey, Iris and other action teams responsible for special tasks, but the content of the mission has not been publicly announced. This is Carrie's backup plan.
