Chapter 1412 Joint Action

Are they developed? Not yet. At least they have to wait until the nuclear bomb is obtained before the two of them can truly become developed.

Cautious optimism, or expectation, but very uneasy expectation, is the mood of several core figures in the CIA who have come into contact with this matter.

"You did a great job today, Poseidon, you are really... just very good."

Porter implicitly praised Yang Yi, then he took a long breath and said: "The director is very satisfied with your performance. He told me privately that maybe you should accept greater tests and bear greater responsibilities." Responsibilities, so that you can fully demonstrate your abilities.”

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Thank you for your compliment, and thank you, Director, for trusting me."

Porter breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a satisfied look on his face: "Secretary Schiller is very unhappy today, well, yes, he is very unhappy, because our CIA has finally played its due role."

Porter's words make sense, because in the United States, the CIA is the only independent intelligence department that is directly responsible to the president. The fees are allocated by the president after applying to Congress. It has no superior agency and does not even need to cooperate with other departments. of.

Therefore, the president's influence on the CIA is very direct. Unlike other departments, such as the Department of Homeland Security, the president cannot get involved even if he wants to promote someone. In the CIA, although the president cannot directly order the promotion of a low-level official, the president If everyone has spoken, then this person will definitely be promoted quickly.

Don’t forget that the directors of the CIA are confidants directly appointed by the president. Sometimes they are not considered confidants, but they are definitely people who follow the president and will never go against the president.

That’s why the director of the CIA is now a mascot-like figure, because he is the president’s confidant. The president does not need the director to have too strong abilities, as long as he can ensure that the CIA is controlled by his own people, because the director of the CIA is in control The financial and personnel power of the entire CIA.

The CIA has always been the most important intelligence agency in the United States. It was not until the 9/11 incident that the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security reduced the status of the CIA, and it became a scapegoat. However, the strength and heritage of the CIA are still there after all. As long as the homeland security If the momentum of the Ministry of Security is suppressed a little, the CIA can immediately recover and rise strongly.

The CIA's being despised and suppressed is temporary, but if the Department of Homeland Security is ignored, it is likely to collapse. That's why Secretary Schiller is so anxious that he directly speaks to suppress a small CIA agent regardless of his identity. , it’s really because the consequences of being spotlighted by the CIA are too serious for the Department of Homeland Security.

Moreover, Schiller was defeated before he could succeed, even before Denbot opened his mouth.

Knowing this, you will understand why Walter said that Yang Yi and he are both prosperous, because once they are valued by the president, their positions will be promoted immediately, and after this status is achieved, even if the president changes, the status of these middle and senior officials will not be affected. Any impact, after all, the director can be changed frequently, but the people who actually do things cannot be changed frequently. If all the experienced people are replaced and replaced with a group of new people with no experience, this president cannot stand it.

So everyone is happy, but there is still a prerequisite, that is, you must get the nuclear bomb, and you can only be happy after getting the nuclear bomb.

"But it's been seventeen hours now. Is there any news from Ivan?"

The basis for being in the limelight is based on the nuclear bomb. If the nuclear bomb fails to be obtained, it means that the improved situation is an illusion, and the risk is even greater. In that case, the CIA will not only lose face.

Of course Yang Yi is confident, but the problem is that before the nuclear bomb is actually obtained, he cannot guarantee 100% that there will be no problems.

"There has been no news, but the time is set for twenty-four hours later. Sir, Ivan is still very reputable."

Potter sighed, nodded, and said: "This threat must be solved, otherwise it will really be uneasy to sleep. Poseidon, I think... how about you follow up on this case?"

Porter is planning to hand over the task of tracking other nuclear bombs to Yang Yi. Can Yang Yi take over? Of course he can't!

If Yang Yi is responsible for tracking down the whereabouts of other nuclear bombs in the future, he can't just ask Big Ivan to take out one every now and then to claim credit for him. And if he can't find it, wouldn't it make him look useless?

Besides, even if Yang Yizhen really wanted to investigate, where would he have the time and energy to really do such a thankless task?

"Sir, I am not capable enough... Also, I personally feel that I should focus on being responsible for contacting and communicating with Ivan and leaving the investigation of the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb to others. Otherwise, once Ivan is asked If we notice, our communication channel will be cut off."

Potter immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I thought simply. Your role is very important and special. You really shouldn't be allowed to take risks."

At this time, it's Walter's turn to be nervous, because if Yang Yi doesn't take responsibility, it's him. Because of this extremely important task, which is related to national security, there can't be too many people who know about it, and there are only a few people who can take on this task. Not much left.

Walter was not stupid, so why didn't he know that this was a thankless task? Besides, he was still someone Porter trusted, so it seemed natural that this matter would fall on him.

At this moment, Yang Yi whispered: "Sir, I have an idea, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Speak, don't hold back or worry about anything, just say whatever you want."

Yang Yi whispered: "The Department of Homeland Security cannot get involved in this case, but why not let the FBI accept it? We have no law enforcement power in the country, so it is very inconvenient to investigate, but the FBI is different. It is more convenient for them. We also have a lot of experience, and we have more manpower in China than we do.”

Potter subconsciously shook his head, but as soon as he shook his head, he said thoughtfully: "Hmm? Hmm, go on."

Yang Yi smiled and said: "That's all I thought of."

There is no need to say the rest, and it’s not too obvious to say. For example, when tracking nuclear bombs, even if you find one or two nuclear bombs, you don’t know how many nuclear bombs are hidden. , do you dare to retrieve it? What should I do if Ivan really wants to take action and makes Ivan feel that he has an existential crisis, so he detonates it brazenly?

Therefore, although the matter of tracking down nuclear bombs is important, it is really unpleasing. Since it is unpleasing, why not leave the headache to the FBI?

The CIA is responsible for looking for clues, and the FBI only looks for nuclear bombs in the country. If it is found, the CIA will also have the credit for providing intelligence, because this is the CIA's job. If it cannot be found, the CIA will not look too ugly. After all, this case The matter is left to the FBI.

It's not that Porter didn't expect it. He just didn't think of blaming the FBI due to his identity and long-term thinking mode. But Yang Yi thought of it and brought it up. It's worth letting Porter take another look at him, because this is Tactical and strategic capability differences.

Porter said slowly: "I will discuss it with the director. Well, if there is no problem, prepare to join forces with the FBI."
