"Why aren't you saying anything?" General Ji slammed his hand on the table. "Don't tell me that Hong Kangquan's report is all true!"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
"Shaoheng, do you have any difficulties?" General Ji frowned and looked at Huo Shaoheng. "In the beginning, our country only had the Secret Service as an intelligence agency. It dealt with spies within the country and dealt with intelligence overseas. It dealt with both sides at the same time.
"However, the Secret Service has inherent limitations because it is a public department of the country. This is enough to greatly restrict its operations abroad. Many times, it can't respond in time and can't effectively protect national interests.
"Therefore, Speaker Long and I proposed that the military establish a new secret intelligence agency under the command of the military. It would only have the authority to gather intelligence on foreign countries. It would have more and more unrestricted authority than the Secret Service abroad. In exchange, we would not allow the Special Operations Forces to intervene in any domestic affairs. "
In other words, the Huaxia Empire's intelligence agency actually had two groups.
They worked together and checked and balanced each other. At the same time, it ensured that the people above had multiple sources of intelligence and minimized the situation of being biased.
Moreover, intelligence work was so important that it could affect the whole situation. They set it up like this to be more complete.
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "If we want to intervene in domestic affairs, we must obtain permission and authorization from the military and the Senate."
Just like the "special cases" that appeared during the two elections.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes flashed with sarcasm.
General Ji didn't miss his expression and said awkwardly, "It's good that you know. So, is there anything else you can't say to me? We are comrades in the same trench. "
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and said carefully, "General Ji, I've written everything that can be written in the report. I didn't hide anything."
General Ji glanced at him and instantly understood what he meant. In other words, the rest couldn't be written in the report.
There really was something he didn't know?
General Ji's heart sank. He said to Huo Shaoheng seriously, "Shaoheng, you have to think this through. If you really hide anything or leave out anything, it will be very difficult for me to speak up for you. "
In front of Speaker Long, General Ji swore to protect him with his dignity and military rank, but that didn't mean he had to pretend that everything was fine.
He trusted and vouched for him, not because he was his beloved general and direct subordinate, but because he believed that he was a person who had made great contributions to the country and the military, and he had never done anything wrong to the country or the military.
If there really was a problem with Huo Shaoheng, General Ji would never let it go. No matter how much his heart ached, he would still hand him over.
Even Zhuge Liang could kill Ma Su without shedding tears, let alone him.
To them, the most important thing was still the interests of the country and the military. General Ji was very clear about this.
Huo Shaoheng also understood very well that Hong Kangquan had caused such a ruckus. It seemed like the United States had made a move.
The information obtained by the Secret Service's field personnel was not known if James had been discovered, or if it was the CIA's usual method.
They often gave some specious things to muddy the waters of other countries and sow discord.
Those who fell into the trap were not necessarily traitors or traitors. They might just be stupid people.
But the problem was that when a stupid person did something wrong, it was no less destructive than when a bad person intentionally did something evil.
Huo Shaoheng's mind raced, and he thought of someone.
He said calmly, "General Ji, are you sure you want me to write everything in the report? Aren't you afraid of causing disputes between countries? "
General Ji asked, "Is it that serious?"
"I'll tell you. Listen carefully. If you think it's okay to write it in the report, I can add in the missing parts, "Huo Shaoheng said calmly. "During my time in the United States, I killed a person. It was the former director of the CIA's Asian Intelligence Division, Sean."
General Ji sucked in a breath of cold air before quickly coming back to his senses. He slapped the table excitedly. "Sean? The intelligence genius who was once praised by the CIA to be unparalleled? Did he really die by your hands?! "
After careful investigation, the time of this person's death happened to be the time when Huo Shaoheng "went missing" in the United States.
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly, his eyes dancing with joy. "If you're not afraid of getting into trouble and not afraid of people finding out about this, then I'll write it in the operation report."
From how he laid out the plan, how he approached, and how he made his move, he could write it all down.
But the problem was, from the national level, could they really accept this fact?
Because once it was written in the operation report, it meant that General Ji wasn't the only one who saw the news. There would be many more people in the future.
The more people who knew, the more likely it was to be leaked.
Huo Shaoheng was well aware of this, so he didn't think about hiding Gu Nianzhi's identity as the "Pink Piggy" forever.
He sealed that piece of information only to wait for the storm to pass before revealing it to the higher-ups.
But his one-way connection with James would never be revealed.
As expected, General Ji thought about it for a long time, then waved his hand. "I understand. Shaoheng, I trust you completely. Sean's death, you explained to me the ambiguity in the operation report, and it also proved that the information Hong Kangquan's people obtained was very likely the enemy stirring up trouble with the intention of sowing discord within our internal organization. "
"General Ji is wise." Huo Shaoheng nodded. "But how are you going to explain to Speaker Long? Regarding Sean's death, it's up to you to decide whether or not you can reveal it. If the United States really finds out in the future, I'm willing to pay any price for my country. "
"What nonsense are you talking about? When the two armies fought, Sean couldn't defeat you, so he deserved to die. So many of our intelligence personnel died at the hands of the Americans. Did we seek justice from them? In the past, our skills were inferior, so we had to swallow our losses. Now that their skills are inferior, they should be the ones to swallow their losses. "
General Ji valued Huo Shaoheng more and more. "Don't worry, you can rest here with me for the next few days. When the election is over, I'll talk to Speaker Long again. "
Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "I still have a lot of things to do. General Ji, can you give me a computer that can be connected to the network? "
He had just erased the AI program in the surveillance software, so he hadn't completely restored the data hidden by the AI program.
He could take advantage of the period when Speaker Long asked General Ji to "isolate and investigate" him to concentrate on finding the hidden data here.
…
As a result, Hong Kangquan's carefully planned operation almost ended in failure.
He didn't get control of the central control room, nor did he have the opportunity to erase the AI language instructions in the surveillance software.
Huo Shaoheng should have already discovered the problem with the surveillance software, but fortunately, the United States reacted quickly. A cyber war greatly hindered Huo Shaoheng's ability to restore the data.
Now he was taken away by General Ji for some unknown purpose.
But as long as he didn't come into contact with the central control room, he should be safe.
Hong Kangquan touched the tracking chip on the back of his neck, his expression as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He had never thought of betraying his country. He only wanted to get back the honor and power that belonged to him.
…
Gu Nianzhi hadn't been able to contact Huo Shaoheng for the past two days. After hearing from Yin Shixiong, she knew that Huo Shaoheng had probably gone on a mission, so she was slightly relieved.
However, it was boring to stay at home alone, so she decided to go to the Senate and continue working as an intern in Speaker Long's secretariat to accumulate some experience.
He Zhichu saw that Huo Shaoheng had concealed Gu Nianzhi's incident from that night in a timely manner, and the people in the United States were still confused, so he didn't object.
Because she had already rested at home for two days, the wound on her face should have "healed" by now, so she didn't wear a mask and went to work.
Special Assistant Yang was still on a "long vacation." The new Special Assistant who had replaced Special Assistant Yang was surnamed Zhuang, so they all called him Special Assistant Zhuang.
He was two years older than Special Assistant Yang, married a long time ago, and had a child who was already in elementary school.
Special Assistant Zhuang was a very modest person and usually got along well with everyone in the Senate.
He and Special Assistant Yang had come to the Senate Secretariat the same year, but Special Assistant Yang had been more capable and had been promoted faster than him.
But in the Secretariat, he was the only other person besides Special Assistant Yang.
When Gu Nianzhi came to work, Special Assistant Zhuang quickly went up to greet her and asked with concern, "Little Gu, the wound on your face has healed?"
He glanced at Gu Nianzhi and noticed that her skin was rosy and delicate. It didn't look like she had been beaten up that day at all.
It should be completely healed.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled. "It's fine. Thank you for your concern, Special Assistant Zhuang."
"That's good." Special Assistant Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and also smiled. "If a little girl like you had been disfigured because of this incident, we wouldn't have let that Cao spokesperson get away with it!"
"I'm so happy to hear that, Special Assistant Zhuang. I was worried that a little intern like me would be bullied for nothing. "Gu Nianzhi smiled and was also very polite to Special Assistant Zhuang.
Special Assistant Zhuang smiled and chatted with her for a bit before leading her to another place. It was a small, semi-independent office.
The entire outer wall of the office was made of glass, so she could see the various small workrooms in the lobby.
Gu Nianzhi was both surprised and happy. She had her own private office?!
Special Assistant Zhuang explained with a smile, "Speaker Long entrusted you to me and said that you are a specialist in the legal field. I thought about it and realized that our Secretariat does have some legal matters that need to be handled by a specialist. However, these legal documents all have a certain level of confidentiality and can't be placed in the lobby. Although you are an intern and normally don't have your own private office, your work is special, so I asked Speaker Long to arrange this small, unused office for you. From now on, those legal documents will be placed here for you. Make sure you take care of them properly. "
Gu Nianzhi secretly praised Special Assistant Zhuang for being a good person. He was clearly giving her a discount, but he still acted as if he had no choice to do so to show that he wasn't "abusing his power for personal gain."
But then again, legal matters were indeed Gu Nianzhi's specialty, and it was also her interest.
She had never thought about being a secretary for the rest of her life.
After Special Assistant Zhuang arranged an office for her, he took her to see Speaker Long.
At the door of Speaker Long's office, she saw a few tall men in navy suits clustered around a slightly shorter, stocky man. There was also a beautiful woman standing next to the man. It was Tan Guiren.
Special Assistant Zhuang quickly stepped forward and said to the shorter man, "Director Hong, how can I help you?"
The man turned to look at Special Assistant Zhuang and said somewhat impatiently, "Miss Tan and I were both invited by Speaker Long. It's almost time, but Speaker Long seems to still be in a meeting."
He looked at his watch and was a bit annoyed.
His time was also very precious.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed. Director Hong?
She quickly went through the names of all the Cabinet Ministers in her mind and remembered that the only Minister with the surname Hong was Hong Kangquan from the Secret Service.
He was the person Tan Guiren said had suggested Huo Shaoheng go to the United States to rescue her …
But why would Hong Kangquan appear in the Senate with Tan Guiren? And he even said that Speaker Long had invited them?
