April 2027, traveling to Port Ravit, the capital of the country
Shamron II has passed the age of retirement, but according to the tradition of the Dingtian Organization in Luzhi, although he stays at home and does not have to sit at a desk to give orders, he still directly manages and participates in several important projects as a consultant. The workload and complexity haven't diminished at all.
Shamron's small garden was not big, there were no trees, and there were a few shrubs in the corner that had never bloomed. He had no intention of pruning them.
Shamron favored herbaceous roses and pansies, planting them in broken earthen pots, wooden crates, and even severed old cannon shells.
Among all the capitals of developed countries, Port Ravit in Chicago is a shabby and dilapidated alternative.
Neither the government nor ordinary residents have a strong desire to build or repair houses.
Many billionaires living in Chicago have luxurious residences in China or big cities in Europe.
But when they returned to live in Port Ravi, all they needed for housing was shelter from the wind and rain and a safe bed.
For more than 2,000 years, people living in Zhichi have been wandering in turmoil. In many cases, they have been ostracized and even hunted down.
No matter where you are, people in Chicago always feel insecure, especially in the long and narrow land of Chicago.
Loew walked into the small courtyard and stood quietly opposite Shamron II, watching the old man turning over the sand in the flower pot with a rusty spoon.
Shamron II did not stop, raised his head and asked: "The Liang people are looking for you again? What's new?"
"Yes, I have reported to you before. Recently, the Liang people have been trying to get news about the Yuhan people from us."
Loew stepped forward, took the flowerpot from Shamron's hand, carefully placed it on the wooden stand, and then said:
"You remember David Halsey, right? This time, people from the Overseas Intelligence Service said that David had a very important piece of information to tell us."
"I know David Halsey, who worked with the National Bureau of Investigation and worked with us many times with the Overseas Intelligence Service," Shamron said.
"Isn't he from the Liangguo Anti-Terrorism Bureau?" Loew asked.
"In April 2013, there was a terrorist attack at the Cannes Marathon. The General Directorate of Counter-Terrorism was expanded, and David Halsey was transferred there to take charge of handling major emergencies." Shamron walked towards the door of the living room and motioned to Loew Follow up and continue:
"The people from the Overseas Intelligence Service said how did David give us the intelligence? Was it sent encrypted or was it sent to tell us in person?"
"No, David said that the information is too important. Only you or your trusted assistant can go to Liangguo in person, and he will inform you face to face."
Shamron II stopped, turned around and walked around the yard for a few steps, as if he didn't care about Loew's presence at all. He walked back to the wooden frame and picked up the spoon again to stir up the flower soil.
"What's wrong? Do you think there's anything wrong?" Loew asked, somewhat at a loss.
Shamron II slowly raised his head and said as if talking to himself:
"Go to Liangguo and tell them face to face? Liangguo? Tell them in person?"
Loew's mind was also spinning rapidly. He seemed to have figured it out and said tentatively:
"The request to go to Liangguo to speak face to face means that the secret may be leaked to us. He is implying that we have internal problems."
"The Liang people only have interests and exchanges in their dictionary. They wanted to get information about the Jade Khanate from us, but they were afraid that we wouldn't give it to them, so they came up with the idea of exposing the traitors within us in exchange for the information they wanted." Shamron Er Shi shook his head and continued:
"But the Liang people never expected that their plan to expose the so-called mole might cause us a big problem."
Loew seemed to suddenly understand and said eagerly: "The people from Liang have been monitoring the dark web. They probably know something about Kezi."
"Only you and I know about Kezi's dual identity now. Even if the Liang people mistakenly believe that Kezi is a traitor and have some information, we don't want to make it clear, because that will expose Kezi and the entire plan. Risk." Shamron II put down the spoon, dusted off the dirt on his body, and continued:
"It could also be that I'm neurotic. It would be great if the mole David revealed was not Ketz, but an intelligence we didn't have yet. But we still have to prevent David from saying Ketz's name."
"You are saying that you don't want to hear David say Katz's name, so how should we reply to the people from Liang's Overseas Intelligence Service?" Loew asked.
"Lew, you have been working with me for more than ten years. You have completed the last few tasks very well. It is up to you to find a way to solve this difficult matter today." Shamron II patted him. The shoulder of the beloved general gave another advice:
"After all, Liangguo is our most important ally and cannot be offended, so your solution must be to send people to Liangguo according to David's request, but not to let David reveal Kezi's name."
Loew was confused and in a dilemma, thinking, Boss, this is an unsolvable problem!
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said excitedly:
"I see."
There are frequent contacts between the Luzhiguo Dingtian organization and the Liangguo intelligence agencies. When important intelligence officials go to Liangguo, they rarely take civilian flights due to the need for confidentiality.
Instead, he first went to the Kingdom of Earthsea and boarded a military plane at the Liang Kingdom Air Force Base.
The special envoys of the Dingtian Organization from the Kingdom of Luzhi boarded a military plane flying to Liang Kingdom.
David Halsey rushed from Rocket City to the Hotan Air Force Base to wait for representatives from the country in Chicago.
After playing a doubles match at the base's large indoor tennis court, David was in a good mood.
He enjoyed a standard meal in the officers' mess, with a generous portion, and ordered a small order of lobster and foie gras as an extra.
David Halsey returned to the prefabricated room specially provided for him to rest, opened the encrypted laptop he brought with him, found the intelligence briefing folder, and browsed one of the documents.
Katz, born in 1978, is a senior intelligence officer of the Dingtian Organization in Chicago and a doctor of science from the Imperial University of Country B.
Expertise: computer networks, information communications, etc.
In 2010, he joined the Dingtian organization and followed his university teacher Mel Rubinstein to participate in the research and development of the "Bronze Wall" missile defense system in Chicago.
In 2020, Ketz made a serious mistake in his work, which caused the missile launched by the Jinjes organization to break through the defense system and land in Port Ravi, causing casualties and property losses.
Afterwards, Katz refused to admit his mistake, and Rubinstein kicked him out of the technical team and assigned him to Hamid's Loew's action team as a nearly sinecure technical advisor.
Because Katz was not going well at work and had more free time, he participated in multiple forums on the dark web.
There is intelligence that he has been recruited by the Jade Khanate Intelligence Agency and has repeatedly betrayed important information to the Jade Khanate Intelligence Agency.
Including information on the assassination of Susay Muzadi in the Jade Khanate in November 2020 by the Liangguo Overseas Intelligence Service and the Luzhiguo Dingtian Organization.
What is even more infuriating is that Katz provided the Yuhan people with the parameter list of the top secret "Copper Wall" defense system in Chicago, which he personally participated in.
The Z30 transport plane should be arriving soon. David turned off his computer and walked to the edge of the wide runway, waiting for the intelligence officer sent by Shamron II.
He thought how shocked the intelligence officer would be when he heard the name Ketz.
We Liang people are still more powerful, right?
We just hope to exchange such important information for you people in Zhizhi for a little bit of information about the Yuhan people.
The huge Z30 transport aircraft roared and taxied along the far end of the runway. After it stopped, the rear cabin door slowly lowered.
David Halsey took the first few steps to meet him.
The person who walked out of the cabin was the "mole" that David identified as Katz.
"What a pig teammate!" David thought to himself.
