Although Simon didn't imdiately understand why Song Heping would give him his coordinates and ask him to report them to Pence.
He vaguely felt that this guy must be up to sothing cunning again.
In his opinion, Song Heping was too cunning.
Dealing with him requires real caution.
Otherwise, it's very easy to fall into a trap.
But soon he understood.
"You want to use as a pawn to lure Pence to attack you? This is a setup, isn't it?"
"A setup?"
Song Heping laughed heartily.
"These are genuine coordinates. Do you think I can give you fake coordinates and fool the CIA's preliminary reconnaissance confirmation process?"
Simon was slightly taken aback.
Indeed.
According to the CIA's operational procedures, after obtaining information about a target, confirmation is required. Preliminary reconnaissance is necessary, with photographs taken for comparison, and a matching rate of 90% is needed to justify action.
"Would you be so kind?"
He didn't believe Song Heping would help him for no reason.
"Old friend, don't be so wary of . I'm actually quite good to my friends, especially with your high value to . How could I let the investigation team take you away to rot in jail? I'll even help you get promoted. Who knows, you might occupy Pence's position soday, right?"
Song Heping's words exploded in Simon's mind like a bomb.
It was as if he was suddenly enlightened.
His thoughts beca extrely clear, and even the blood in his body started rushing.
A thing called ambition started stirring in the depths of his heart.
Indeed...
At the very least, I'm a station chief now.
And being sent to Illiguo as a station chief was a reflection of certain abilities.
But he wasn't Pence's man.
Back then, Jasper, who joined the CIA at the sa ti, received Pence's favor and was promoted back to headquarters to take on a supervisory role.
Now, with Kelly in the operations departnt turned into a vegetable, her position remains vacant.
It's heard that the agency's high-level officials are willing to select station chiefs with outstanding abilities from overseas intelligence posts to replace Kelly.
Especially those station chiefs in war-torn regions, where the hardware conditions are no problem.
But it's said that Pence has already recomnded Jasper for this position to the director.
Jasper...
Why him?!
Posted in xico for two years as a deputy chief, essentially wandering in his country's backyard for two years, then transferred closer as Pence's assistant, clearly preparing for future promotion to a supervisory role...
It's just because of Jasper's deep family political background and Ivy League education that he gains more favor from Pence.
And what about ?
A rustbelt rural guy.
I thought that by working hard I had made it out of my hotown, studied hard, and finally got recruited into the CIA, progressing from intelligence analyst to field agent to overseas station chief.
I ca up step by step on my own.
But suddenly I realized that no matter how hard I worked, I couldn't catch up with soone else's background.
So people are born in Ro.
And I'm just a workhorse.
Before, Simon had already lost hope for his future.
Being posted in Illiguo for so many years, it seed like the higher-ups had forgotten about him, and no one ca to replace him.
Yeah, it's so dangerous here. Who in their right mind would want to co?
Song Heping's words were like a strong stimulant, suddenly activating the restless genes within him.
Indeed.
Song Heping can use , and I can use him.
He can ask for intelligence, and I can ask him for intelligence.
Isn't it just mutual use!
"Okay, I'll do as you say, report your coordinates in five days, and I'll co up with a story for the source of the specific intelligence."
"Hmm, that's more like it. Sell my intelligence to Pence, who would suspect you're a mole then?"
If soone had called him a "mole" in the past, Simon would definitely have blushed and reprimanded them.
But this ti, he didn't seem to have much reaction.
One could even say, he felt a bit like laughing.
Doesn't it?
A station chief in Illiguo, being a mole.
This thought is indeed quite funny.
"Okay, I'll handle it. Don't worry."
The two hung up the phone, and Song Heping returned to the bonfire.
The lamb was almost roasted, sizzling and dripping oil over the fire, its golden color and enticing aroma.
Everyone soon ca back one after another.
"I've asked around, and there are three people who have had contact with the anti-aircraft radar and know how to operate it."
Jiang Feng imdiately reported the reconnaissance situation to Song Heping.
Song Heping shook his head, "No, not enough, at least thirty technicians are needed, otherwise it's not sufficient. I will get three sets of SAM-6 anti-aircraft missile systems, each requiring at least a platoon to operate."
"I asked if they knew any skilled missile operators, and actually there are..."
Jiang Feng said, "Those three served in the Air Force's air defense forces before joining their national Special Forces. Therefore, many comrades know them. I asked if they were willing to introduce comrades to join the company, and after hearing about the high salary offer, they said they were willing."
"Then imdiately have them contact; I want them in place within three days," said Song Heping. "After eating, we'll gather in the tent, I need to deploy an operation."
"What operation?" Hunter couldn't help but ask.
Song Heping smiled and said, "A robbery operation. Where do you think our SAM missile systems co from otherwise?"
"Robbery?"
Hunter's eyes almost popped out.
Song Heping nodded, "Yes. Robbery. Why pay when you can rob? Robbing weapons from those extremist organizations, I won't feel any guilt."
Paused a mont and added, "Three days ago, an ard organization code-nad 'Desert Scorpion' received four sets of SAM-6 systems at the Chad border, supplied by the US Army secretly through an arms dealer. We'll take them."
"Attack the ard organization's camp and grab them back?" Jiang Feng asked.
Song Heping said, "Are you stupid? US-sponsored ard organization, surely not small in scale, should we bash with our two hundred people? Even if we win, it'll cost many lives. I plan to buy them."
"Buy?"
The crowd was shocked, looking at Song Heping.
"Buy!" Song Heping said seriously. "Those ard organizations are basically conning the Aricans for equipnt. If anyone offers a high price, they would absolutely transfer the equipnt, and later just tell the Aricans they lost it in battle, make a fake report, get more sets."
"No way, Aricans would be so stupid? Believe such nonsense?" Jiang Feng was incredulous.
Song Heping said, "Aricans aren't really dumb, but they pretend to be. When ard organizations report false losses, how do they file false reports up the chain? When the ard organizations fleece Uncle Sam, how do Commissioner Smiths in the US Army embezzle the military budget? Losses are better, losses justify purchases, purchases bring profit, understand?"
Jiang Feng was stunned for a mont, then said, "Damn, this actually works!?"
