Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 285 New Handle

While Song Heping was looking through the resumes of new employees in his office overnight, the lights in the CIA branch office building in the Green Zone were still brightly lit.

In an office on the second floor, Thomas sat in a chair looking at the stationmaster Simon on the ground.

Simon was looking through a document.

Many of the contents of the files are pictures taken from different angles. The protagonist in the pictures is Song Heping, and next to Song Heping is a fat local from Irigo.

"How did he get in touch with the people in the Supply Department?"

Simon's eyes never left the pictures. When he turned to a photo of Song Heping and Yusuf standing and chatting next to a temporary hangar at the foot of the hillside, his eyes fell behind the two of them.

Behind the two men was a SU-25 attack aircraft with its front face exposed.

"The information I found out is that they met because of a roadside attack. Yusuf's vehicle was attacked by militants, and Song Heping happened to pass by and rescued him. That's how the two met."

Thomas gave the answer.

"What a coincidence..."

Simon looked through the pictures thoughtfully.

His eyes rested on another picture again.

"This is the SA-9 air defense system, an anti-aircraft weapon left behind by the former Shadam Army."

Thomas said: "Yes, most of the former government forces' assets and weapons are now under the management of the Interim Governing Council. The department responsible for this work within the Interim Governing Council is the Logistics Department, and Yusuf is one of the heads of the Logistics Department."

Simon closed the document and placed it on the table, then leaned back in his chair, seemingly thinking.

After a long pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "Recently, 'Musician' Defense received a 2.4 million yuan contract from the military... Song Heping and Peter are very close. Honestly, I don't want to get involved in military affairs. Are you sure the arms trafficking has nothing to do with the military?"

Thomas said: "It's impossible to confirm at the moment, but they previously resold a batch of arms to South America. I have thoroughly investigated this matter and it has nothing to do with the military."

Simon nodded slightly: "Last time, we were still worried about whether it was related to the military, so we let them leave the port. Otherwise, it would have been a good opportunity to capture him last time."

Thomas said, "Don't worry about that. Since it's been confirmed that he's secretly engaged in the arms trade, the military can't protect him. This time, it looks like he's trying to resell aircraft and air defense systems. This is different from reselling guns. As long as we catch him in the act, we'll definitely make Song Heping pay."

There was no expression on Simon's face, like an emotionless zombie.

He said, "I didn't expect this guy to be so unlucky. I thought he could take the blame for Angel's incident, but he ended up showing up and even took away the five million yuan bounty. Because of this incident, I was scolded by the people above me..."

As he spoke, he stroked the armrest of his chair and sighed, "I almost couldn't be the stationmaster."

Thomas said, "I misjudged that incident. I thought Yevgeni and his men were a bunch of reckless men, and with an inexperienced Chinese kid, they were the perfect scapegoat. I didn't expect him to be so cunning."

Simon said, "Come to think of it, this guy is quite talented. Look, Yevgeny left Ilygo and became his own boss... It's only been a little over a year, and we've watched him expand. He's really lucky. I don't like to be enemies with lucky people, but this guy is an exception. He's so annoying."

Thomas said, "His calculations have run their course. If we prove he's trafficking arms, we can just wait and catch him in the act. Once we have solid evidence, we can charge him with supporting a terrorist organization and send him to Guantanamo."

He paused and continued, "What I'm most worried about now is the extent of this guy's relationship with the military. From what I know, he went to the Tulip Hotel and met Robin and the others. I think he's in the inner circle."

"PMC..."

Simon sneered, "They always like to mess around with these associations. But it's okay. I've asked the people at Blackwater and AAFES. This guy is actually just a black glove for the military, doing the dirty work. Sooner or later, he'll be abandoned. It's just a matter of time... The fact that he got the order was purely coincidental. Those gentlemen in the domestic parliament were fighting. Someone filed a complaint, accusing the military, Blackwater, and AAFES of huge profiteering and demanding the introduction of new contract contractors to avoid monopoly. Congressman Charlie, who originally suggested holding a hearing, just wanted to insert his familiar XE company to get a piece of the pie. Unexpectedly, the military reacted so strongly, preferring to give it to a small company like 'Musician' to prove their innocence rather than to the XE company designated by Congressman Charlie. Song Heping is just lucky..."

"Since that guy has a black glove relationship with the military, if we touch him, will the military intervene?" Thomas expressed his concerns.

Simon shook his head. "If this guy is proven to be secretly reselling arms, the military won't be able to help him. Keep an eye on him and gather evidence. Watch for any transactions. Once they're done, arrest them immediately. Remember, we must catch them red-handed."

"Don't worry, Station Master." Thomas sneered, "That guy is being watched 24 hours a day by my people. If he makes a deal, my people will take action."

"OK, then I'll wait for your good news."

"No problem. I'll take my leave, Station Master."

After Thomas left, Simon sat in the chair and waited for a while, then took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Mr. Charlie, I'm Simon."

"Simon? I hope you have good news for me." A slightly arrogant voice came from the other side: "Your deputy director called you, right?"

"Yes, he called me half a month ago."

"So... you found something on that company?"

"Just tonight, my people have confirmed that the people from the 'Musician' Defense Department are reselling arms. The evidence is basically solid. Now we just have to wait for them to buy or sell arms next time and then we will take action."

"Okay!" Congressman Charlie on the other end of the phone seemed very happy.

"I will let those arrogant military leaders in the Pentagon know the price of defying me!"

Simon said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Congressman, we will handle this matter well. Just wait for good news."

"Very good, very good! When the time comes, you must send me the news immediately. I will use the media to expose it and force Peter and his men to pack up and return home!"

Councillor Charlie looked very proud.

"Simon, you're a talented person. Don't worry, I'll talk to your superiors and adjust your position after this is completed."

"Thank you here first."

"That's it, don't let me down."

beep--

With a busy tone, the phone was hung up.

Simon gently placed the satellite phone on the table and watched the screen go out with contempt in his eyes.

He actually doesn't like the professional politicians in Parliament.

However, he also knew very well why the deputy director called him personally and asked him to collect evidence of the "musician's" defense.

The purpose is simple, which is to destroy the "musician" defense.

This is what Congressman Charlie wants to see.

The reason why this congressman can influence the CIA's actions is because Charlie has the title of member of the Intelligence Committee.

Every year, the CIA's formal appropriations and funding must be reviewed by the Intelligence Committee, and Senator Charlie also has considerable power in hearings on some events.

In any case, dealing with Song Heping is a good thing after all.

Even if Congressman Charlie hadn't been behind this, I would have done the same.

Suddenly, Song Heping's image appeared in his mind again.

The last time I used waterboarding on him and then released him, this man publicly humiliated me before leaving.

This matter alone is endless!

The next morning, after Song Heping and Ferrari finalized the new members, he remembered that he had made an appointment with Yusuf to go to Fallujah again tonight, because Yusuf had made an appointment with two weapons engineers to check whether the three sets of SA-9 missile equipment were normal. After all, they had been stored for so long and no one had maintained them. Not to mention live-fire verification, at least a detailed inspection was needed.

"Ferrari."

"what's up?"

Song Heping said, "I'm going to Fallujah tonight to check with Yusuf to see if those SA-9s are still usable. Please do something for me."

"What's going on?" Ferrari asked.

Song Heping said: "I suspect I am being followed."

"Following!?" Ferrari was shocked. After all, selling air defense systems was no small matter. "Who's following you? Are you sure?!"

Song Heping said, "I'm 70% sure it's the CIA. Right now, the CIA is the one that dislikes us the most."

Speaking of the CIA, Ferrari also had a headache: "If it's them, it will be difficult to deal with. You can't just send someone to kill them, right?"

Song Heping laughed and said, "Don't tell me, I really thought about doing this. I could pretend not to know and let our people follow me. Don't we have a lot of trucks now? I could just arrange a car accident for him and kill those bastards! They'll probably just suffer in silence. They can't admit to following me without any evidence, right?"

When Ferrari heard Song Heping say that he had thought about killing the CIA agent, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

I know this boss well. He's very tough and very courageous! If you provoke him, he'll do anything.

"Don't worry, I don't really want you to send people to kill them." Song Heping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not that violent."

"So what are you going to do?" Ferrari asked.

"Tonight I want to confirm something. You must help me with something according to my instructions. I want to confirm whether someone is following me. Once I can confirm it, I will find another way to put on a good show for them."
