Chapter 1356 Cherry Blossoms in Washington (Third update, please subscribe)
Every spring comes, Washington will usher in the moment when flowers are in full bloom. Every year, thousands of people flock to Washington, D.C., to watch the cherry blossom trees bloom and celebrate the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Through the beautiful cherry blossoms, you can see the obelisk in the distance. As in previous years, Fang Tianzhuo took the "YN·Zeiss" camera in his hand to take pictures of the beautiful scenery in front of him. When taking pictures, he would also Met some Americans who used the same camera as him.
"YN·Zeiss", also known as Yongning Zeiss, entered the US market more than ten years ago. With the reputation of "Zeiss", it quickly opened up the market and was welcomed by the market.
This is the brand effect. In the past ten years, many "German brands" have long become "NBC brands", but this does not hinder their occupation of the market.
"Hello!"
While Fang Tianzhuo was taking pictures, an American walked up to him, smiled and invited:
"Hello, Mr. Fang, can we chat together? Maybe..."
The man looked at his watch and said:
"We can have lunch together and talk about something that may involve the interests of both parties."
His expression was completely kind, but he obviously knew Fang Tianzhuo's identity.
“I treat you to the best French cuisine.”
He added.
“It’s that Pierre restaurant, what do you think?”
Looking at the colorful cherry blossoms in front of him, Fang Tianzhuo looked around and saw that the other party came alone. .
So they shrugged their shoulders and replied softly:
"Why not go?"
In ten minutes, they arrived at the Pierre restaurant. After entering the restaurant, the waiter was obviously People who knew Fang Tianzhuo asked if it was the same as before.
In response, Fang Tianzhuo just shrugged his shoulders.
“When was I exposed?”
The reason why Fang Tianzhuo asked this was because this restaurant was a restaurant he often visited. When the other party mentioned this location, he had obviously been staring at him for a long time.
This is a suggestion that cannot be refused.
He is not a diplomat, he is just an ordinary... photographer. But in fact, he is an intelligence officer, an intelligence officer of the Secret Intelligence Service stationed at NBC, the kind without a diplomatic passport,
This means that once his identity is exposed, he will be imprisoned, even if he is The same is true for the Allies. At most, the treatment is slightly better. After a few years in prison, they will be released.
"Mr. Fang, you just need to know that someone is watching you."
While ordering the meal, the man said:
"Only the two of us know about my meeting with you. I have a message for you."
The other party's answer made Fang Tianzhuo puzzled:
“Oh? What message?”
“We need you to make concessions in the Congo.”
"What? What did you say?"
Fang Tianzhuo replied without thinking:
"The Congo has nothing to do with us."
"I don't care about these, I The message was very simple – we don’t care whether the UN troops live or die; We believe that there will eventually be a diplomatic solution. What we need is your concession on the Katanga issue. You must understand one thing - now, no matter what, Katanga cannot be independent! This is our bottom line! ”
“Our bottom line?”
Fang Tianzhuo asked:
"Then I want to know, where are we referring to?"
The other party did not answer.
The White House?
Obviously not. If it were the White House, they would communicate privately with the Commercial Representative Office, not with him. He is not even an official intelligence officer.
At least he was not an official in name only. If he was arrested, he would definitely be sent to prison, but the other party found him, and all the evidence showed that they knew his identity.
So, they must be connected with the intelligence agency, and it is even possible that they are from the intelligence agency themselves. Who knows about this kind of thing?
"This is not important. What is important is that you must understand that we are friends, not enemies!"
The man looked at Fang Tianzhuo and said with an extremely certain tone:
“This is also a message that needs you to convey. Even if there are some misunderstandings, I believe that the misunderstandings will be cleared up in the near future.”
At this time, lunch had been served. The man looked at the lunch on the plate, smiled and said:
"The food here is not bad."
"It is indeed good. Next time, You can try his fish.”
The two of them were eating and chatting, mostly about food. Finally, at the end of the meal, the man said:
"By the way, if nothing else happens, Douglas will continue to provide you with F4 fighter jets next month."
In January, the White House stopped providing F4 fighter jets to NBC on the pretext that it needed to prioritize meeting the needs of the U.S. military. This was obviously to put pressure on NBC, and the resumption of supply mentioned by the man was obviously to show its attitude. It's interesting, when Fang Tianzhuo was thinking about it, the man said:
"I hope we have a chance to dine together next time."
The man paid the bill and left. See Looking at the lunch in front of him, Fang Tianzhuo fell into silence.
Who passed this information on?
"Clear the misunderstanding..."
With this word in his mouth, Fang Tianzhuo said to himself:
"It's interesting, how can this be eliminated?"
......
That day, from Washington The news was sent to Li Yian's case. After receiving this information, Li Yian immediately fell into silence.
Maybe other people don’t know what “elimination” is, but they understand its meaning very well.
No, it's only March now. Is it possible that someone wants to clear up the misunderstanding at this time?
Li Yian's brows were furrowed, and he was pacing back and forth in the office, thinking as he walked, maybe because this problem was too headache, he walked to his desk again, and started thinking about it. He took out a cigar from the cigarette case, lit it, and took a silent puff.
This thing is really weird. Because he knew what would happen in the next few months, Li Yian would think so much.
“Who provided this information? Is it reliable?”
“We don’t know whether the information he provided is reliable. However, in intelligence work, a sudden appearance like this Those who come out must have their reasons for coming out.”
"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon."
Li Yian nodded and said.
“Why did he pass on this information?”
Full of doubts, Li Yian pulled the information in front of him and browsed it again.
His mind was filled with possibilities, and he even thought of another possibility - could this be the conspiracy?
In another world, there are too many conspiracy theories about wild minds, and a lot of circumstantial evidence points to the Soviet Union.
Let’s not say whether the evidence is real evidence, but one thing is for sure, for a long time, a considerable number of Americans believed that the Soviets caused that brainstorming.
But it turned out that the Russians were wronged.
But why is there so much evidence pointing to Russia?
With this calculation in his mind, Li Yian naturally thought of another conspiracy.
Another conspiracy that is widely known and even recognized by most people is that the CIA and the military played an extremely disgraceful role in that incident.
Could it be...
After taking a puff of cigarette, Li Yian frowned and said to himself in his heart.
“It’s really them?”
At exactly this time, Sun Pengan said:
"Your Excellency, I think one of the fundamental reasons why the United States passed this information to us through this informal channel is... they hope that the face of the White House can be preserved."
The face of the White House!
Sun Peng'an's words made Li Yian fall into deep thought.
Is face important?
Many people say that foreigners don’t care about face, but in fact they value face more than Chinese people do, especially for politicians.
"For Kennedy, there is no problem with the failure of the United Nations, but if Katanga becomes independent, it means that the United Nations operations he supports will fall into total failure. This will inevitably damage the image he established after the Cuban crisis, Therefore, he cares more about the results of Katanga than others."
Regarding Sun Peng'an's analysis, Li Yian nodded and said:
"It's exactly what you said. , he is very concerned about the results there, but... we all know that this message is not conveyed from the White House. "
This is what Li Yian cares about. In fact, he had no intention of engaging in a life-and-death battle between the Congo and the United States.
In the end, the two sides will definitely resolve the differences between the two countries through diplomatic channels. The current artillery battle in Congo is essentially to exert pressure.
But who would have thought that before the White House made any comment, a group of people would take the initiative to stand up and say that the misunderstanding would be cleared up soon, and that he only needed to make appropriate concessions to end this crisis. .
But who are those people?
What are they doing?
Compared to Congo and Kennedy, Ang Lee is more concerned about this matter now. After all, this matter itself reveals too much weirdness.
It's not just weird, there's a deeper reason - the imagination is wide open.
There are so many conspiracies surrounding the idea that it remains an unsolved mystery until the 21st century.
For others, this unsolved mystery is just a piece of cake, but for Li Yian.
This unsolved mystery contains unknown dangers. In his current position, he is naturally very cautious about such dangers.
After all, my imagination is wide open, but it is only superficial. What's behind the imaginative thinking?
"Information..."
Li Yian paused and said.
“After all, this information itself contains too much information.”
After that, he frowned and stared into the distance...
