Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 118 Absolute Secret
Shanying didn't fully understand it, but he understood the basic logic...

Snowden's defection was big news, and the information he held was invaluable to the intelligence agencies.

This guy's whereabouts are now public. He flew from Hong Kong Island to Moscow, and then was stuck in the transit area because the United States canceled his passport.

Many people would think that America would get rid of him at all costs, but in fact the scandal exposed by Snowden targeted the US government, and according to US law, the Prism project itself is unconstitutional.

Now that the scandal has been exposed, it is the US President and Congress who are being blamed, not any individual or interest group.

Reality is so funny. If what Snowden has in his hand will cause fatal losses to a certain interest group or a capital spokesperson, there will definitely be many killers who will kill him at all costs.

But the situation is different when the scandal targets the entire government. The arrest of Snowden needs to go through a lengthy bureaucratic system, and no one wants to take on additional responsibility before things are resolved.

Now this guy is a hero in the media's mouth. Ordering the killing of a hero is a political stain that the politicians in power cannot bear.

Faced with this sudden situation, and it happened in Russia, America's foreign intelligence agencies were not sufficiently prepared and capable of bypassing Russia's blockade and bringing Snowden back to America.

Yes, bring it back to America!
If Snowden is killed, the scandal will be completely confirmed and the credibility of the U.S. government will suffer an irreparable blow.

The best way to solve the problem is to stigmatize S Nden, then arrest him and try him, or delay time and wait until the heat of the incident cools down before finding a way to deal with him.

In fact, after the Prism project was exposed, for the US government, killing Snowden no longer had much significance for those politicians, so the pursuit and revenge against him would be limited within the rules.

That Ah Sqi is the most typical example. He was regarded as a banner, and countless people supported and protected him...

When a person's influence reaches a certain level, simply killing him becomes an unbearable burden for the person in charge of giving the order.

If you want to deal with it, you should start with the people around this kind of person, cut off his tentacles to isolate him from the outside world, and then slowly press him into the water.

Ashley's most capable assistant, lawyer Manning, was imprisoned in Guantanamo, but no matter how loudly Ashley cried out, no one spoke up.

Snowden is saying something similar now. Exposing criminal acts that violate the constitution is correct in the ideology of Europe and the United States, because no one wants to live under strict surveillance, especially the rich!

The Prism project is said to be for anti-terrorism, but how much money do terrorists have?
Those who are really hiding underwater are the super sharks who hold huge amounts of money. How could they be willing to accept this situation?

This situation means they are not safe!

Therefore, Snowden must be alive. As long as he is alive, America's Prism project will be restricted!
The current situation is that the Russian intelligence agencies want what is in Snowden's hands, but Snowden knows very well that exposing the Prism project to the media and cooperating with the Russian intelligence agencies are two completely different things.

Now he is still a hero who exposes the unconstitutional actions of the US government and holds high the banner of freedom. Once he cooperates with Russia, he will become a complete traitor.

As long as the American intelligence agencies get evidence of his cooperation with Russia, there will be no limit to the hunt for him. His family will also be stigmatized and may even lose their lives in the end.

The twists and turns here sound very complicated, but in fact, it is impossible for Russia to get what they want directly from Sden...

First of all, it is impossible for Sten to give it. Secondly, doing so is almost equivalent to declaring war, and the retaliation from the United States will be very severe.

Therefore, a middleman is needed to take what the Russian intelligence agency wants away from Snowden in a roundabout way.

Maybe it's a backdoor in a computer program, maybe it's just a few names...

Shanying sighed deeply and said, "So the so-called 500 million commission was actually arranged by the Russians..."

After hearing this, Blood Fox smiled and shook his head, saying, "Of course not, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service does not have that much funding.

The people who gave the money were Asqi's supporters, some of whom are very, very rich, otherwise Asqi would not have been able to hide in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for so long.

I was busy in South America for a long time back then, helping to stabilize the situation in Ecuador. At the same time, those people brought a lot of investment to Ecuador, and only then did the Ecuadorian authorities agree to provide asylum to A Schi.

Of course, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service also played a role in this, and they made some promises and preferential conditions to Ecuador.

After all, WikiLeaks is the biggest harm to America. Every day that people like this live longer is a loss to American hegemony..."

Shanying listened, shook his head and said: "I still don't fully understand...

The purpose of this 500 million commission is to allow S Nden to obtain political asylum, but you want to take something very important from S Nden and hand it over to Russia. You know that once the matter is exposed, the United States will..."

Upon hearing this, Xuehu immediately shook his head and said, "No, you are wrong, I am only responsible for helping S Nden to obtain political asylum.

The method is very simple, that is, to prove that he has encountered serious personal threats!"

As Blood Fox looked at the frowning Mountain Eagle, he smiled and said, "You think things are too complicated...

For Snowden now, neither America nor Russia is a fatal threat. Instead, the covetousness from other countries and even the underground world is the most fatal to him.

This guy is familiar with the digital operation model of the US intelligence agencies and has participated in most digital intelligence projects since the digital age.

This is a huge gold mine for some people!
America was able to tolerate Russia's sheltering of Sten at the airport because they knew that if Sten was taken away by someone else, they would face a more serious crisis. "

Shanying suddenly said: "I understand, which means that the Russian intelligence agency will withdraw the security line around the airport, and then you will take over.

As long as it is proven that someone wants to kidnap or kill Sten, Russia can naturally grant him political asylum.

In other words, you may encounter attacks from all countries or organizations that are interested in Snowden, except for the US and Russian intelligence agencies. "Shanying pinched his nose in pain and said incredulously: "How can you think you can withstand it?

The social situation in Russia is there. It is difficult for Putin to suppress the situation at home. Things can easily get out of control...

Can your ex-wife really protect you?

How is this considered returning a favor?

This kind of thing can be done by hiring a group of professional bodyguards!"

After hearing this, Blood Fox was silent for a long time. Finally, he stood up and waved to Mountain Eagle, led him to the side, and said, "I don't mind telling you everything, and I trust you, but do you really think you are ready?"

Shanying understood what Xuehu meant. Once he knew some secrets, he would not be able to withdraw...

But Shanying is a man of honor. Xuehu is both his teacher and friend, and he saved his life. He can't just watch an old man like Xuehu risk his life...

Seeing the slightly heavy expression on Blood Fox's face, Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "Since we have to do it, I must know the reason..."

Blood Fox looked into Mountain Eagle's eyes. After more than ten seconds, he sighed and said, "The American government arrested ten spies in 2010, including Irene's daughter.

This was big news at the time!

In August of the same year, Irene's daughter and nine other spies were deported back to Great Russia.

The most important reason for their deportation was that Irene made a deal with the CIA, bypassing the surveillance of the Russian Security Department and releasing a very important prisoner.

Now the prisoner has found Irene and asked her to find a way to get him and Sten alone for a few minutes."

Shanying was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the international spy clash he imagined would suddenly turn into a love story...

A mother sold out national interests for her daughter, and then the old man Blood Fox was ready to take on an extremely dangerous mission for his ex-wife.

The so-called "seeking political asylum" is indeed extremely difficult for people who don't understand the situation, but in fact there is no technical difficulty at all.

The real key is to let someone be alone with that Snowden for a few minutes!
This is the real 'secret that cannot be told', because once it is exposed, Blood Fox's ex-wife will pay a terrible price.

It follows the same logic as the problems caused by Snowden. The government's problems are borne by everyone, so it is almost like there is no responsibility.

But personal problems are different. Once illegal operations and damage to national interests are exposed, they will attract attacks from political opponents. If the evidence is conclusive, the consequences will be very serious.

Looking at the helpless expression on Blood Fox's face, Shanying sighed and said, "I am not familiar with your industry, but according to my understanding, if you are caught in this business, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life.

Do you really think that if you let Stan meet that guy, it will be over?"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the silent Blood Fox and asked curiously, "Can I know who the prisoner is?"

Blood Fox shook his head slightly and said, "It's a man named Vasily Mitrokhin...

He used to be an archivist of the KGB. He defected to the British thirty years ago and sold a large number of KGB secrets to them.

And after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they cooperated with an organization called the "Lake Baikal Foundation" to plunder huge amounts of wealth from Greater Russia.

Until now, the Baikal Lake Foundation still controls the shares of some energy groups in Greater Russia!"

Shanying was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "What's the matter with the Baikal Lake Foundation?"

Blood Fox sneered and said, "For the sake of an archive keeper, they were able to get America to release 10 spies that they had spent nearly ten years to capture...

What the hell is that?"

Shanying took a deep breath after hearing this and said in disbelief: "I thought this kind of organization only appeared in conspiracy theories..."

Blood Fox sighed and said, “When you reach my age, you will understand that anything that is brought up may happen or is happening.

Shanying, now that you know everything, are you still willing to participate?"

Shanying nodded, and then said something irrelevant: "So the upper limit of power in the underground world can actually be very high..."

Blood Fox was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: “In the future, you will find that when a person’s power and money reach a certain level, it actually doesn’t matter whether it is right or wrong.

The core reason why most wealthy people immigrate is to "buy the law", that is, to find a place where they can protect their property and interests through laws.

But there are some people who can 'create laws' and 'make rules'. Do you say they are black or white?"

Shanying only felt his head shake, and then suddenly he felt enlightened...

It turns out that this is possible...

It turns out there is another kind of scenery in this world!
Just as Shanying was lost in thought, a scream came from behind...
