The Blacklist

Chapter 350: Who has the problem?
Kerry smiled, took out his ID and showed it to Brian, saying, "I am Richard Kerry, the director of the Special Enforcement Division of the CTU Headquarters, and Donald Lessler is the director of the Special Operations Division. The two departments we are in charge of are both higher in rank than the CIA Counter-Threat Division where you used to work. If you really want to do something and expose the crimes of your former supervisor, meeting us is your best chance!"

Brian and his three men were a little stunned. They didn't expect that there were two directors among the six CTU agents in front of them. Although CTU and CIA were not the same department, their levels were the same, which made them a little nervous!
Carrie looked at them and continued, "The reason I'm saying this is to tell you that all of you here, our CTU people, are absolutely reliable, and I'm willing to trust you for now. As for your three men, they were actually recruited by you, or tricked into this operation by you, and they also have the right to know the truth. Now it depends on whether you are willing to tell the truth! Explain the matter clearly, and then we can decide whether to give you a chance!"

After a moment of silence, Brian finally told the whole story - in 2011, he did not resign from the CIA on his own, but accepted the order of Leon Cox, the head of the CIA's counter-threat department, to nominally resign from his public office and enter the underground world to carry out special missions according to Cox's instructions...

But after a few years, he finally determined that what Cox asked him to do was what is commonly known as "dirty work", and the purpose was not for the national interest, but to achieve his personal goals, so he broke away from his control and began to investigate Cox's illegal behavior...

More than a year ago, he discovered that Cox had used the name of "Ilyas Surkov" to carry out terrorist attacks. Although his purpose was unclear, he still decided to track and disrupt his behavior in order to find enough evidence to accuse him!

To this end, in the past two years, he has recruited Duke White, Omar Kabinov and Rosa Calhoun, three former CIA agents who left the CIA for various reasons, to form the current action team.

In order to maintain the operating funds of the four-man team, he also stole funds from the secret operation account controlled by Cox several times...

After listening to Brian's narration, everyone present, except Kerry, was surprised - no one had thought that there was such an inside story!

After a moment of silence, Kerry waited for everyone to digest Brian's words before saying, "Tang, do you think he can be trusted?"

Donald shook his head first, then nodded, and then said, "I don't want to believe this, but what Agent Bryan said seems to be true... Well, I'll contact the General Administration. We need to get to the bottom of this!"

The others nodded, feeling the same way.

Afterwards, Donald called Cooper directly, told him about the situation, and asked the headquarters to investigate Brian's situation.

Cooper was not too surprised to hear this. As an old agent with nearly 30 years of experience, he had seen many secret things that could not be recorded in the files, so he immediately believed that Brian was telling the truth. Of course, he still had to conduct some verification before he could draw a conclusion.

An hour later, the information of Brian and his three men was sent to Donald's laptop by CTU headquarters through a confidential line. Although the information did not include their situation over the past year, the four were indeed agents who had left the CIA and had performed well while in office.

Carrie and Donald had a brief conversation and decided to trust Brian for the time being, or to give him a chance to prove himself... Oh, and the three original agents recruited by Brian, if this matter doesn't have a good result, they will really fall into this big pit!

Later, Donald signed a temporary supervision agreement with Brian, Duke, Omar and Rosa on behalf of SER, temporarily incorporating the four-member team to handle the "Surkov" case first and then deal with other matters. Brian told an important situation he had recently investigated: "Surkov's" next move is code-named "Hurricane", and the target is indeed in Virginia, and it is a military facility, but the specifics are still unknown.

What will be the goal? Everyone is thinking about this question.

Kerry didn't bother to waste any more time and directly pointed out the key point. "Operation Hurricane, this name is very unique! Think about it, besides natural phenomena, what else could a hurricane be?"

Everyone blinked their eyes and thought about it, but no one could come up with anything!

Kerry sighed and said, "Forget it, everyone, pack up and go back. Let's think about it slowly on the plane!"

Rosa Calhoun, a female agent from Bryan's team nearby, said, "Director Kerry, there should be no flights back to the United States at this time!"

Several of her companions also nodded in agreement. During this period, they traveled between the United States and Belgrade and were familiar with the flight situation.

Everyone at CTU laughed. Elizabeth pointed at Kerry and said, "Don't worry. Director Kerry has a private plane and can fly anytime!"

More than 650 minutes later, when they boarded the Gulfstream at the airport, the four members of Brian's team were more convinced of the CTU department - look at them, a director-level person has a private jet! This beautiful misunderstanding gave them a better vision of their future.
-
On Saturday morning, the group returned to the post office. The four members of Brian's team saw that the entire building was the base of two department-level departments, and it had complete facilities and advanced equipment. They were all extremely envious. They had been running around outside all these years, and they didn't even have any backup when they were on the move, let alone having their own base!
Kerry wasted no time and called all the agents together in the SER command hall. He asked the question again: "Everyone, intelligence shows that the enemy's next target is a military facility in Virginia. The name of the operation contains the word 'Hurricane' and is related to Kevlar fiber. Think about it, what could the target be?"

"Hurricane-class patrol ship!" Aram shouted directly when everyone was still thinking, "I saw it on a military website before. The navy commissioned a new type of patrol ship a few years ago. It uses Kevlar fiber armor and is named the 'Hurricane' class!"

Kerry was relieved that someone had finally thought of this, so he said, "Yes, this is a suitable target. Aram, check the situation of the Hurricane-class patrol ship!"
