Chapter 4 Ten Revenge of the CIA

Since the last defeat, President Mario has made up his mind to rectify the CIA. After the internal cleansing, the CIA's morale has been low, and after forcibly assigning part of its "business" to the Homeland Security Agency, the role of the CIA has become smaller and smaller.In order to revive morale, the newly appointed director of the CIA, George John Tenet, planned to attack the Soviet Union, fight a beautiful battle, revive the CIA, and at the same time let the Pentagon and Washington see the CIA's achievements.Renew support for the CIA.

So Director Tenet had to face a lot of mess on the first day of work, the funds were greatly cut, the depressive atmosphere after the large-scale layoffs, and the sword of Damocles hanging - the FBI who was eyeing him. And the surveillance department of the Bureau of Homeland Security has almost included the entire CIA personnel on their blacklist, monitoring their every move at any time.Because there is nothing worse than the leak of classified information by the former director of the CIA. Since even the director of the CIA cannot be trusted, the loyalty of these subordinates to the United States is even more suspicious.

As soon as Tenet stepped into the Langley Building, the silent atmosphere was like a cold snake strangling his neck. Those employees who hurried past at work were all expressionless and indifferent, as if they came from the interrogation room. The prisoners dragged out of the prison were as emotionless as the Gulag purges. Some employees with black history entered the prison of the FBI, some were persecuted innocently, and those who survived became cautious. When Tenet entered the elevator, the people around him took a step back subconsciously, wanting to stay away from him as if looking at a monster.For such a situation, Tenet said that it is necessary to revive the operation of the CIA.

Tenet had just arrived in the office, and other directors of the intelligence department were already waiting for his arrival in the office. Some of the new faces might not know the former deputy director of the CIA, but this did not prevent Tenet from exerting his own influence on the CIA. Instructions, operate according to their own will.

Brandy, Chief of the Foreign Intelligence Section, Sarako, Chief of the Covert Operations Section, and Massad, Chief of the Data Processing Section, are waiting for Tenet's arrival. The CIA director spoke with a hint of awe.

Tenet brought them a plan to target the Soviet embassy in Libya, which had been moved from Tripoli to Benghazi, in retaliation for the Soviet KGB's crackdown on the CIA's arms sales in Iraq.Since Gaddafi's army retreated steadily, all countries in the world are considering their relationship with Libya, and the Soviet Union took the lead in recognizing the regime of the opposition before Western European countries acted, and established diplomatic relations with the opposition.This quick action surprised everyone, as if it was the Soviet Union that instigated the riots in Libya.

Of course, the Soviet Union just wanted to use foreign policy as a fulcrum to intervene in the opposition regime, thereby establishing a pro-Soviet faction.Although most areas have fallen into the hands of the opposition, the factional opposition has engaged in armed conflicts of varying sizes in various provinces with each other.The Libyan United Revolutionary Front supported by the Soviet Union and the Red Crescent Brigade supported by Baghdadi are by far the two most powerful armed factions.

On the contrary, the opposition supported by Europe and the United States is more like mud that cannot support the wall. While the United States accused the Soviet Union of interfering in Libya's internal affairs, it did not increase its intervention in Libya, and even reduced the scale, causing pro-American factions to be boiled frogs in warm water However, the Libyan United Revolutionary Front and the Red Crescent Brigade have grown stronger and stronger under the training of Soviet officers, and even obtained a large number of Soviet-style heavy weapons.

Originally, the European Union, which had intertwined interests in Libya, wanted to ask the United States for help, but how could the United States, which has been focusing on Iraq, risk another bottomless quagmire, so apart from the limited verbal support, other There was no movement in the United States at the time.

Under such complicated circumstances, the new director of the CIA in the United States brought his New Moon Dawn plan, aimed at the fulcrum of Soviet intervention in the Libyan regime, the Soviet embassy in Libya.After a heavy blow to the Soviet Union's political actions, the CIA will quickly cut into Benghazi to fill the Soviet power vacuum there.

Director Tenet sat on the table and explained his new moon dawn plan to everyone present, "Simply put, we launched an armed attack on the Soviet embassy through Benghazi's pro-American forces in Benghazi , and this armed attack must have nothing to do with us, and it is best to portray it as a purely religious attack on communism."

The chief of the intelligence department raised his hand first, and after Director Tenet signaled that he could speak, he said directly, "Haven't socialist countries always maintained a high-pressure suppression of religious forces in their countries? We can use this issue to make a fuss , collect all the speeches that 'insult' religion in their country, and then use these speeches to incite the pro-American armed forces in Benghazi, and directly encourage them to attack the Soviet embassy in Benghazi."

The head of the data processing section, Massad, added, "If possible, it would be great if we could incite religious people to oppose the red regime on a global scale. What is a Benghazi? Let the Soviet Union's layout around the world Disruption is the maximization of interests."

"For example, the population of several towns in the Caucasus region disappeared overnight? This can highlight the brutality of the Soviet Union." Sarako said with a smile.

"Okay, be quiet, it's unrealistic to make the Soviet Union the enemy of the religious world, but we can make the Soviet Union the enemy of the pro-American armed forces, Chief Brandy, I need you to collect some anti-religion statements about the Soviet Union , and then massive propaganda in Benghazi."

"No problem." Brandy raised the corners of his lips. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. If the Soviet Union could suffer a big loss in Benghazi, he would not mind spending the few remaining funds of the CIA.

"Also, regarding Massad, the data processing department should give me a detailed report in the next few days, all information about the Soviet Union's actions in Libya, including their intelligence sales, personnel recruitment, and even There is a list of every Russian who is active in Benghazi, and I want them as much as I can get them."

"Yes." Massad pondered for a moment, "The Data Processing Section is originally responsible for intelligence analysis. I can organize these things within two days and give them to you, Chief Tenet."

"Very good, I just want to see that the CIA has such an efficiency." Tenet clapped his hands and saw that the three section chiefs had already entered the state, so he continued to issue tasks, "As for the covert operations section chief Sarah Ke, your task is to investigate the building of the Soviet embassy in Libya. It is best to get his floor plan, study the distribution of guards, and formulate a detailed and feasible attack plan, and then let the pro-American armed forces carry out exercises according to this plan. , Remember, it must be in place at one time. Whatever weapons they need, the CIA can provide these people, recoilless guns, mortars, everything."

This time Tenet formulated the plan with a desperate mentality. Although it was expected that he might encounter KGB retaliation afterwards, sadness often wins the favor of the Pentagon and the White House office.After seeing that the CIA has paid such a painful price for the strategic deployment of the United States, even the stingy Congress will increase the budget allocation.

Tenet even thought up a propaganda slogan for those agents stationed in Libya who might die in the future.

"I'm proud to die for my country."

Brandy also thought of a series of follow-ups of this operation, but he chose not to talk about it, and even pretended not to see it. The political goals of the upper level always make the lower level go to death for various fair reasons, even if they It's just a medal and the so-called mourning.But the bones of the victims have become the capital of the politicians.

Who said politics is such a bastard's bloody game.

Chapter 4 Eleven Secret Soldiers in Benghazi (1)

The efficiency of the CIA's operations is astonishing. Just a week after they formulated the New Moon Dawn plan, an article titled "Soviet Punishment" was circulated, almost at the same time in dozens of countries. , different language versions were published in the newspaper at the same time, as if premeditated.This article on religious topics expounds the Soviet Union's suppression of religion, and uses false pictures to show how the Soviet Union treats these believers.

However, to the disappointment of the CIA, this article did not set off a storm all over the world, or even just hit a splash.No religious group went to the local Soviet embassy to protest, because these people knew exactly what the Soviet government was like.In East Asian countries, some Sunni groups protested against the Soviet Union’s disrespect for religion, and even attempted to attack local Soviet diplomatic institutions. However, the crowd who attempted to riot was subdued by the police in time, and no large-scale riots occurred.

A week later, the red guerrillas who were enemies of the government forces attacked the local Sunni gathering area. These well-equipped and specially trained guerrilla members carried out a terrible massacre in the gathering area of ​​the believers. The leader who caused the trouble They were all shot dead, and after looting everything, they simply burned down the village, causing the death of hundreds of religious figures.And after that major attack, even the government forces, which had always been at odds with the anti-government guerrillas, very rarely kept their mouths shut and ignored them.In addition, a news report was blocked, and it was forbidden to report on the massacre of the village.

From then on, the local Sunnis always avoided Soviet diplomats when they saw them.And got a terrible nickname, the red devil.Even in the religious world, the Soviet Union is walking sideways and doesn't care about other people's opinions at all. I can respect your customs, but when I want to do something, it's better not to dictate in front of me.

As for Syria, those countries in Iran that have interests in collusion with the Soviet Union will naturally not express any opinions on such reports. Iran even directly banned "Punishment by the Soviet" and did not allow any media to mention it.For the Middle East, the united front is the most important. We all know that it is the United States that causes actual damage to the interests. If you can win over an opponent, you will never provoke an ally.

For those newspapers that tried to criticize the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union also gave a firm counterattack. The government stated that these religious people had better recognize their current mentality and understand their position.The Soviet Union has a powerful war machine, and religious people who dare to dictate to the Soviet can find them no matter where they hide.At the end of the report, several protesting organizations were listed.

As soon as the Soviet Union said this, those who were blacklisted immediately did not dare to protest.

The Propaganda Department of the Soviet Union is of course not a vegetarian. Immediately after the publication of "Punishment of the Soviet", they also released an article "Shameless America", but this film was not written in Russian, but was specially translated into Arabic , to propagate in the Middle East world.The content of the story is the dirty deeds that the United States has done in recent years since the Gulf War.

This time the Iranian government did not choose to ban it, but made a lot of propaganda in the country. The enemy of the enemy is an ally, and allies must take care of each other.However, the actions of the United States still attracted Yanayev's attention. He specifically told Kryuchkov's KGB first round to pay attention to the recent movements of the CIA.

"They are now preparing to make a big news. I don't believe that the CIA has painstakingly published a report in more than ten languages, just to disgust the Soviet Union." Yanayev said, pointing to the world map, on which all the Soviet Union He has marked the places where the forces have intervened. Most of the war-torn countries in Africa have shown a red trend. The Soviet power has penetrated into the local high-level. Whether it is the opposition or the government, Soviet agents are almost pervasive. .

"Now in the whole world, there are two places where the situation is most difficult to estimate, and they are also key areas for KGB intelligence infiltration. One is Iraq in the midst of war, and the other is Libya, which is also in an unstable situation. It's just that the former is a game between the Soviet Union and the United States, and the latter is Or they are playing tricks with European countries.”

"So?" Yanayev asked, "You mean that the target of the CIA's operation will be Iraq? But apart from Baghdadi, we don't have a clear support for the forces."

"This is just an estimate. Maybe the actual target of the operation is actually Libya, so we'd better be prepared. The first is to send GRU agents to strengthen the protection of the Libyan embassy and ensure the safety of the Libyan ambassador." After all, the ambassador still has a lot of information on Libya, and we must not let the Libyan ambassador fall into the hands of the enemy."

Because the security work of overseas embassies has been included in the scope of the GRU's accusations, the KGB has no right to intervene in the security of embassies.

"The second is to strengthen the protection of Baghdadi, the supporting force. This guy does have the potential to become a religious leader. Whether he is a Shia or a Sunni, he can unite and form a powerful armed force." Kryuchko After Yanayev proposed two plans, Yanayev immediately agreed.

"Immediately ordered to ensure the safety of the ambassador in Benghazi and Baghdadi. Now the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the open. The situation is not good for us."

Kryuchkov said, "So there must be more caution, and the CIA's actions will be in these days."

Ambassador Benghazi's warning to Moscow didn't seem to care so much. After all, this is Benghazi, the safest place in Libya.Although there are still sporadic conflicts in many places, compared with other all-day human bombing attacks, it is considered a paradise.Both the Libyan United Revolutionary Front and the Red Crescent Brigade sent some soldiers to defend the Soviet embassy in Libya like stars and moons, as well as a group of agents from the GRU.According to this formation, unless there are more than 100 armed personnel attacking, this impenetrable cage can be broken.

What's more, there are a series of heavy weapons inside the Soviet ambassador's tube, all of which were bought in the local weapons sales market.For fighting nations, even civilian staff working in the embassy must accept weapons training programs and be able to effectively protect themselves in a war environment. All in all, the Benghazi embassy is more like a fortress that is impenetrable.

But every day, different people stop in front of the fort for a short time, or stand on the top of a nearby building to take a look down at the whole building, figure out the number of guards inside, patrol the area, and launch an attack at the best time.This was a well-planned conspiracy. Some people tried to use the anti-Soviet plot in a small area to carry out a brutal plunder of the Soviet embassy.The CIA helped them actively plan through local agents, but did not directly intervene in the situation.This one-hand borrowing of a knife to kill people is vividly expressed.

Comrade Belenko, the Soviet ambassador to Benghazi, sat by the swimming pool, feeling the warm sunshine comfortably. This place is different from Moscow, which is extremely cold most of the year. The suitable temperature always makes him feel like he is on vacation by the Black Sea.

Standing behind him with a Kalashnikov rifle is Mazelkov, who is in charge of the ambassador's security. This burly Cossack has never put down his gun since he entered Libya. The rifle is placed by his side.

"Comrade Mazelkov, I think it is completely unnecessary for Moscow to send additional manpower." Belenko stirred the pool with his hands, pointing to the slowly setting sun, and said with emotion, "Everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very concerned about Libya's evacuation." It’s not enough, but the scenery here is so beautiful. And under the double insurance, no one will dare to attack the Benghazi embassy, ​​unless he is willing to fight against a big country with the largest land area in the world.”

Mazelkov twitched his lips and didn't speak. He didn't want to disturb the poetic mood of the Libyan ambassador at this time. He used the walkie-talkie to rule over everyone. After confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, he took his hands off the insurance and sat down The chair waited for Ambassador Belenko to come out of the pool.

Just when the embassy was showing a peaceful atmosphere, the armed militia of the Libyan Freedom Camp, which is pro-American, was quietly gathering in an attempt to launch a surprise attack on the embassy, ​​and the target of the attack was Benghazi Ambassador Belenko .

Chapter 4 Twelve Secret Soldiers in Benghazi (2)

Ambassador Belenko was enjoying a sumptuous dinner while listening to Yanayev’s speech at the Politburo meeting. Noisy gunfire broke.

The sudden gunshot caught everyone off guard. Ambassador Belenko subconsciously walked towards the window, but was stopped by the captain of the security team and forcibly pulled him behind him.Mazelkov pointed his gun at the window, stepped back cautiously, and called on the walkie-talkie, "What's going on, Antonio?"

The guard standing on the top floor of the building seemed a little panicked. He widened his eyes and saw a dark crowd walking towards the main entrance of the embassy. After hearing Mazelkov's question, he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie He replied, "My God, there is a group of heavily armed soldiers, they are coming towards us, my God, there are too many of them."

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down Comrade Antonio, tell me how many people are coming our way? Twenty? Thirty?" The data."

Antonio, who was holding the binoculars, suppressed his nervousness as much as possible, hoping to see through the binoculars how many people were on the opposite side, he replied, "Thirty, no, forty, oh no, about sixty people are facing Walking over to our side, they have Kalashnikov rifles in their hands, and some have 7.62-caliber PKM machine guns."

Antonio adjusted an angle and looked to the other side, but saw a scene that made his heart feel ashamed. Three armed pickup trucks were quickly approaching the Benghazi embassy, ​​with 12.7mm heavy machine guns on them, and armed The direction the pickup was headed was also where the embassy's protections were weakest.

"We are surrounded, Comrade Mazelkov, they are too many and have all kinds of machine guns. We must evacuate or call for reinforcements."
