USSR 1991

Page 170

Following Yanayev's finger, Kryuchkov saw the only loyal ally of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, Serbia.

"NATO wants to sanction and compress the Soviet Union's strategic space, so we can't give them the opportunity in vain. Mishelovich is a pawn placed in Eastern Europe. We can completely establish a Soviet strategic missile system on their land. Further comprehensive coverage of NATO member states."

Kryuchkov took a deep breath. The Soviet Union also tried this idea back then, which led to the Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States took the strongest attitude and stance towards the socialist camp, but in the end the Soviet Union took the lead in surrendering and failed.

Yanayev seemed to see through Kryuchkov's thoughts. He patted the other party's shoulder and said with relief, "Don't worry, the current NATO is not the United States of the past, and the current Soviet Union is not the same as the Soviet Union of the past. NATO has long since disappeared." Anyone who stands in our way will either surrender or perish.”

Yanayev is not bluffing. His tough attitude is based on the weakness of European countries.Although the Soviet Union suffered a great blow during the turmoil in 1991, the Soviet Union, which retained a strong military strength, still has the strength to crush any country.However, Germany, France and the United Kingdom cannot withstand the economic downturn and the high expenditure of the welfare society. Coupled with the influx of social refugees, the government deficits of Western European countries are gradually becoming suffocating.

"I will contact Mishelovic. He will definitely be interested in this plan. Even if he is not interested, he will be tied to the wheel of war. Moreover, after Serbia experienced the civil war in Yugoslavia, its economic strength has been greatly affected. I think they will be very willing to accept a military aid and economic relief in exchange for our plan to deploy strategic long-range missiles on their soil. After all, what Mishelovich did in France and Britain has offended all the West Everyone in the country is eager to send him to the gallows. If the Soviet Union did not stop the sanctions from the United Nations, would Mishelovich have survived until now? He was sent to the gallows for crimes against humanity and war massacres. The International Court of Justice in The Hague!"

Everything Yanayev said is true. If Mishelovich had not joined the Soviet Union's Iron Curtain forces, Serbia would have been divided up just like the United Nations sanctioned Gaddafi.

Kryuchkov remained silent, knowing that what Yanayev had decided would not be changed.

"If successful, our risky move will change the game situation between the Soviet Union and NATO member states and reverse the Soviet Union's disadvantage."

Yanayev looked at Serbia on the map and whispered.

Chapter 377 The Ames Spy Case

"While NATO is trying to establish pro-American forces in former socialist countries such as Poland and Hungary, and deploying long-range strategic interceptor missiles on their soil that threaten the survival and development of the Soviet Union, the documents of Project Giant also reveal that the United States is trying to conduct secret operations within Eastern European countries. subversive actions in an attempt to protect their overseas interests through this illegal black operation..."

The news reporter in Moscow was reading about the conspiracy carried out by the United States in Eastern Europe. Not only that, but this document was also sent anonymously to newspapers in various European countries. When on the screen, it is exposed to the public.

This is destined to be a long day in Eastern European politics. After listening to the text broadcast by the TV host, the leader of the Eastern European political party was already exhausted and sat on the sofa. After thinking for a long time, he dialed the phone number for secret contact. Tell the US operator it's over.

Because they will then face the review of the National Disciplinary Inspection Department and the Supreme Court.

The Soviet Union pre-emptively exposed the American Giant’s action plan to the public, not only revealing the general outline of the conspiracy, but also citing a large amount of related detailed data, such as the proposer of the Giant Project, former CIA Director Woolsey, President Mario and the National Defense The minister was responsible for perfecting the details of the project, and ultimately the CIA's Eastern European director implemented this long and huge plan.This revelation also led to several bribery scandals involving the chairmen of some pro-American political parties in Eastern European countries.It triggered a wave of collective resignations of Eastern European leaders. Compared with when they released the press conference, they all focused their eyes on the Soviet Union with resentment.

President Mario's face can be imagined. Although the White House tried to make up for the mistakes, for example, at the beginning of the White House press conference, it denied the content reported by Moscow and did not comment on the Soviet Union's disclosure. Eastern European countries are trying to cooperate to build a plan to maintain European stability and unity, but there is no interference in the internal affairs of Eastern European countries.

However, as the details leaked further, the White House also discovered that the Soviet Union knew much more than they imagined. It was simply providing the most secret plan of the United States to the Soviet intelligence agency. For President Mario, it was absolutely impossible. A mistake of tolerance, and this mistake clearly came from the trusted CIA.

The leader of the CIA, Deutsch, was even more panicked. He began to repeatedly investigate what went wrong. After all, the Giant Project is a top-secret operation of the CIA. Except for a small number of high-level officials who know about this plan, there will be no The second person knows what the Giant's plan looks like.

And Ames also completely cut off contact with the KGB agents after the last call. On the surface, they were in order to prevent Ames’s identity from being leaked, and they were reviewed by the Inter-Intelligence Investigation Team of the Washington Department of Defense. Ames was thrown out as an abandoned child, because the CIA plan obtained by the KGB through Ames had far exceeded their expectations.And Comrade Kryuchkov also asserted that the leak of the giant plan will definitely arouse the suspicion of the investigation team, and Ames will either choose to flee to a country that does not have an extradition treaty, and then be captured by the investigation team and finally stand trial.

There will be two unlucky people in the CIA this time, one is the CIA director Deutsch, and the other is the CIA spy Ames.

After the inter-intelligence investigation team analyzed the failure of the Soviet Union's operation and the leak of the giant plan this time, it pointed all the spearheads at Ames. So far, the former head of Eastern Europe has the biggest suspicion. To startle the snake, the investigation team intercepted Ames with a shocked face when he was about to step into the gate of the CIA when he was going to work in the company.When Eames was taken away by the investigative team, he was clearly not convinced that he had been arrested.

At the beginning of the investigation, Ames showed the good qualities that a counterintelligence officer should have. He first defended and denied, and then chose to remain silent, refusing to explain his affairs to the investigation team until the investigators put his Swiss anonymous account on the table. Before that, Eames with a calm expression began to clenched his fists.

"If I'm not mistaken, the millions of dollars here are paid by the KGB, right? Ames, you are indeed very cautious, but even the most cautious person will miss certain details, such as you You shouldn't be shredding bank-related papers and throwing them in the trash so our people can collect evidence against you."

Eames turned pale, and he knew it was all over.The CIA has the most critical core, the bank account.It is tantamount to wiping out all the rewards he has received over the years.

"You still talk about how you got on the line with the KGB agents? If you can catch their contacts hiding in Washington or New York, then the judge may be able to make a difference in the court trial and reduce your sentence. For example, recently I think this is also your handwriting, right?"

After breaking down the opponent's psychological defenses, investigators tried to save some face in the doomed intelligence war by getting Ames to reveal who was behind it.

"You won't know, even I don't know who the other party is. The KGB's actions are very cautious, only one-sided contact, except that the other party contacted me in various ways, and even I have not seen them look." Eames raised his head and sneered, "But before you convict me, let me be clear about one thing, the last intelligence spy I did for them was not Project Giant, but the computer at the CIA director's home , to help them get the IP address of the director’s computer. Please your investigation team to go to his house now, maybe there may be some pleasant surprises.”

The dim light was flickering, and it was impossible to see Eames' expression clearly, but the interrogators present looked at each other in blank dismay.Apparently they couldn't believe the intelligence leak came from the director of the CIA.

"You mean, Director Deutsch leaked information to the KGB?"

This is so absurd. The director of the CIA is a traitor to the KGB, just as unbelievable as the president of the United States is a Soviet spy. After all, the director of the CIA is a confidant of the president of the United States.

Ames' expression became indifferent. Even if he was going to be tried, he would have to take a scapegoat. Ames pointed to the interrogator and said slowly, "Probably Director Deutsch likes to violate the CIA. According to management regulations, it is not necessary to bring some secret information home? I am just a pawn working for the CIA and the KGB, but Director Deutsch is different. If it is leaked, it will be a political scandal. , I don’t think anyone wants to see President Mario smear a stain on his political career because of Director Deutsch’s defection, right? After all, President Mario strongly recommended Director Deutsch to join the CIA.”

In this way, the personnel of the inter-intelligence investigation team are indeed caught in a dilemma. They cannot only deal with Ames alone, and they must also uproot the high-level figures who made mistakes behind them. However, according to Ames, once Doe Director Qi is under investigation, then President Mario's face will definitely be embarrassing, and President Mario will never let this incident affect his re-election as president.

"Report this matter to the Department of Homeland Security and let people from the Department of Homeland Security investigate. Our inter-intelligence investigation organization is only targeting traitors within the CIA. As for the director of the CIA...I think it is more appropriate for someone else to do it. Let the inter-intelligence It would put the president in a very embarrassing position for the investigative team to get involved."

The leader of the investigation team thought about it after receiving the news. After holding a secret meeting of the investigation team, he finally handed over the decision-making power to His Excellency the President to decide how to properly handle this matter, whether to expose it or conduct a secret investigation. .

When the investigation documents are placed on the president's desk, this is the most embarrassing situation that President Mario has faced. There is nothing more taboo than this. How much damage will it cause to the Mario government and the CIA if it spreads out.

In the president's office, Mario's face was gloomy. He listened to the investigation team's report verbatim, and waited until the other party had finished speaking before saying, "How serious is the loss caused by this information leak."

The leader of the investigation team took a deep breath, bit his lips and replied, "It is initially estimated that all the deployment of the United States in Eastern Europe will be disrupted, because the Soviets already know our trump cards. And the agents lurking in Eastern European countries will also suffer their lives. Threat, after all, the Soviet Union is doing everything possible to expand its power in Eastern Europe and restore the prosperity of the red iron curtain back then."

Hearing this, Mario already knew very well what a major blow this espionage case had caused to the intelligence deployment of the United States.

President Mario raised his head and said to the investigation team leader standing in front of him, "Investigation, this matter must be investigated secretly. Once the situation is true, I will handle it properly. I don't want the Ames espionage case to cause trouble." The entire United States is full of storms, and this incident must be suppressed within the scope of a few people."

The other party nodded and left all the information, including the record of the previous conversation with Ames, to the president. The Department of Homeland Security did not keep such a sensitive document, and they did not dare to keep such a tainted record in their own hands.Investigators from the Homeland Security Bureau also know that there will be a grander national review waiting for them.

President Mario clearly no longer believed in the CIA.

Chapter 378 The Arrested Big Mole

Director Deutsch's intelligence leak case directly led to President Mario's suspicion of the CIA's loyalty. He even believed that there were many KGB "moles" hidden in the entire CIA. If there is no list of people who cannot be trusted, then besides him, there must be other instigated fish who slipped through the net waiting to be discovered.Perhaps the second he was looking at the document, there was a dirty insider transaction.

A plan for CIA personnel vetting and investigation was dropped on the desk of FBI Director and Homeland Security Director John Michael McConnell. The JIO had to unearth all the details of those intelligence agents who had operated in Eastern Europe, especially those who had operated in Eastern Europe.

At this time, Director Deutsch didn't know that he was in trouble.He commuted to and from get off work as usual, and still violated CIA security regulations by taking home classified CIA information.The FBI officers did not arrest Ames directly at the gate of Langley like they did before, but waited for him to go home before doing it.

"The political developments in the White House are so strange this time. Why didn't the FBI or the President take me for a review and talk after Ames was arrested." On the way home, Duo The more Director Izzy thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Yesterday, the incident of Ames being secretly arrested by the FBI caused an uproar in the entire CIA, but today it was as quiet as ever.

"Forget it, what should come will always come, and it's useless to worry about these things now."

After parking the car in the garage, Director Deutsch took out the recent documents that needed to be reviewed from his pocket and put them in an envelope. He took out a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, held it between his fingers, and opened the car door Entering the hall from the underground garage, when Director Deutsch opened the door, he saw the FBI personnel sitting in the living room waiting for him.

The cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

"What are you doing? It's a crime to break into my house without a search warrant." Director Deutsch said angrily. As soon as he took a step forward, he felt his neck being strangled from behind, and then covered it with one hand The ether smeared on the cotton cloth made him lose consciousness instantly. He only felt that the scenery in front of him became more and more blurred, and then he fell into the unconscious darkness.

"We've got the mole under control, repeat, we've got the mole under control."

Investigators in suits and leather shoes carried Director Deutsch into the van that had been prepared. One of the investigators picked up the envelope bag that Director Deutsch dropped in the hallway. When he opened the envelope, he checked the contents. Shocked, he turned back to the leader of the investigation team and said, "Sir, you should take a look at this, it's all confidential documents."

The leader of the investigation team picked up the envelope bag, confirmed that it was a confidential document, sealed it carefully, and said, "Continue to search, I think the director of the CIA must have more unknown secrets."

The arrested Director Deutsch was not sent to the FBI for interrogation, but was transferred to a secret prison of the CIA. It is ironic that the black prison that was originally used to hold some shady operations of the CIA actually held the U.S. The director of the CIA, and he is going to be interrogated by the president, is simply the biggest cold joke in American politics.

Director Deutsch was only handcuffed and imprisoned in a small dark room. He was not panicked, but more calm and waiting for the arrival of the interrogators. President Mario also rushed from the White House to this hidden room. In the basement, check the progress of the interrogation.

The director of the FBI, Louis Friech, served as the interrogator this time. When he entered the interrogation room, he was very satisfied with the astonishment in Deutsch's eyes. A person, when he sat down in front of Deutsch, the other party was obviously not willing to accept this fact.

"Hello, Director Deutsch, long time no see." Director Frihe said with a smile, and he threw a stack of documents in front of Deutsch, which was about the confidential documents he brought home today.

"I want to know why you brought a stack of classified documents out of the building today. Don't you know that this is a violation of CIA discipline? As a CIA director, you should not worry about discipline Investigate? Like in our situation."

"Or is it private revenge? Director Frihe, what do you want to express in this interrogation? I am charged with treason or leaking state secret information?" Director Deutsch asked with a sneer, he would rather choose a heroic way to serve the country. I don't want to die in such a dark prison on the charge of slander.Especially the FBI, which is the most hated.
