"Only civil society organizations can deal with civil society organizations!"
"But shouldn't civil organizations be protected by official organizations?"
"Then the authorities in this lawless place can't get involved!"
"Let me guess, your donuts were stolen?"
"Can you be more normal?"
"normal?"
Shepard picked up the drink and took a satisfied sip, then said.
"We have always been normal. The one who is abnormal is you, Hudson. You are too nervous. Just relax today!"
After Shepard's persuasion, Hudson finally let go of his tense nerves and followed him for three days in Comoros, hunting in the forest, diving in the sea, and fishing. These were all Shepard's preparations for Como. A group of CIA agents enjoyed the project promoted by Luo in advance.
"Remember to fill out the feedback form for us!"
After eating, drinking, and having fun, Hudson leisurely explained the purpose of his visit. It was still a mission related to the CIA that was inconvenient for them to appear. The location was not far away, in Mozambique, but there was only one problem. Yes, the opponent we have to face in this mission is a little bit troublesome.
"This is the first time I know that you have gold mines in Mozambique!"
Unfortunately, Shepard completely missed the point. What he heard was that the CIA's leather company mined local gold and diamond mines in Mozambique and obtained a large amount of money in doing so.
"We can't say more about this!"
Hudson scratched his head. As a prestigious intelligence agency in the city on a hill, the CIA has been a money-maker since its establishment. At least 10% of the funding allocated by Congress to the Department of Defense is spent by the CIA. in hand.
It can be said that these guys who eat royal rations and have their travel and horse expenses reimbursed at will are living in an iron rice bowl. As long as you don't have any problems, you will be able to live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
But such an intelligence agency actually has industries controlled by leather goods companies. This is a bit too weird! Because from a certain perspective, it is easy for things to go wrong if you have money and power!
Because power breeds ambition, and money can realize ambition. Coupled with the CIA's own military power, it can be said that they can even be regarded as a country within a country.
The consequences of this are serious, and if you encounter an incompetent central government, it is not impossible to replace it.
Shepard was actually not that surprised about the CIA's industry. He was surprised that the CIA's methods of collecting foreign wealth were somewhat simple compared to later generations.
Because they are actually engaged in industry now!
You must know that in later generations, if the CIA has no money, it will rely on money laundering, drug smuggling, etc. to obtain funds. Compared with gold mines, the former is the real way to make money quickly.
But thinking about the current background and the war in Afghanistan that had just begun, Shepard immediately felt relieved.
After all, the reason why the CIA got involved in drugs was to cause trouble for the Soviet Union, so they began to support Afghans in growing drugs in exchange for funds.
And as an intelligence agency, funding is never enough! Read the book
After all, as an intelligence agency that wants to coordinate the world, the CIA envisions too many enemies. In order to combat these enemies, it needs countless plans and countless funds to provide support. Therefore, it is not enough for the other party to make extra money. Strange.
What makes Shepard amused is that their extra money is actually being targeted by their old rivals, because their colleagues on the other side of the ocean in Lubyanka are also looking for ways to make money!
Yes, the CIA encountered the KGB in Mozambique, who was also making money. After the two sides fought, the CIA suffered a big loss because it could not publicize the matter and could not use any means to retaliate. Therefore, at this time, it was just Can we hope that non-governmental organizations like Shepard will show up!
But Shepard is not in a hurry to come on stage. He is just curious. If the CIA doesn't have enough money, doesn't the KGB also have enough money?
And the answer is yes!
As the leaders of both sides of the confrontation, the United States and the Soviet Union’s funding during the Cold War
The investment is simply terrible. Both sides are engaged in competition in all fields, whether it is military, technology, industry, etc., they are spending money in all aspects.
Moreover, as the top priority of the strategic deployment of both sides, the intelligence agency also invested a huge amount of money, not to mention that the KGB was responsible for not only the intelligence front, but also national border security, economic and trade routes, and various tasks during the Soviet period. So, like the CIA, they have countless plans that require funds to execute anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, they are also lacking, but unlike the CIA, although the KGB also uses glove agents to make money, they do not work alone, but all departments cooperate!
Especially since the Mozambican government is currently adopting a pro-Soviet route, it has become increasingly difficult for the CIA to operate in Mozambique. Especially after the Angola War fell into decline, the Mozambican side suffered a complete defeat.
A large number of controlled areas were taken back to state ownership and personnel were expelled. This undoubtedly opened a huge hole in the CIA's withered wallet.
Not only can’t we make money, but we are also leaking money to others. Who can bear this kind of life?
Therefore, at this moment, civil organizations like Shepard are needed to bring a small democratic shock to the locals in Mozambique.
"You want me to go over there and stage a coup?"
Shepard ordered the security guard beside him seriously.
"Let those with flowers on their shoulders come to me and we can come up with a battle plan that can kill ten thousand people with two hundred people!"
The latter immediately took the order and left, seeing Hudson's face full of confusion.
"No, no, no, it's not a coup!"
Hudson shook his head. He knew Shepard. This guy really dared to lead his men to storm the Mozambique Congress Building. If it was more extreme, this guy even dared to find a way to give the other party a blow. gun.
"We have some friends there, but..."
understood!
Shepard nodded, isn't it still the same old thing, supporting the agent and then causing trouble? He knows how to do this kind of thing even with his eyes closed!
"You mean to let us support the rebels, and then create terrorist attacks in Mozambique, rob people's property, attack residential areas and create panic, so as to damage the government's prestige and the Soviet Union's face, right?"
Shepard said extremely smoothly.
Hudson's eyes widened. He had really never heard of this kind of thing. And why did Shepard look so skilled? "
"Isn't this nonsense? Isn't that what you do?"
Shepard rolled his eyes. After all, no one in this world can compare to Hudson and the others when it comes to wet and dry work!
