Chapter 934 Unusual
It was raining continuously at night in London.
After the door of the study room was knocked again, Barron put the book he was holding on the table and saw Alya walking in with a cup of hot tea.
Putting the exquisite bone china teacup on the table, she whispered to Barron:
"Your Highness, Mr. Inkster has arrived."
"Let him come in."
Zhanyan smiled sweetly at Barron. This nominal life assistant, in fact, personal maid, turned around and left, closing the door gently. .
“Any news?”
After Nigel Inkster entered the study, he sat on the sofa in front of Barron, his face was solemn, and he said slowly:
“We have been monitoring McKenna III of the Pilot Group, but for the sake of confidentiality, our actions are more cautious...”
Naturally, Barron would not think that if he counterattacked the Vanguard Group on the matter of the Sinclair Group and put them on the international gold price, the other party would cease.
Therefore, the intelligence system he controlled tried to monitor McKenna III, the chairman of the Pilot Group, to a certain extent, in order to find out early that the other party had plans that were not beneficial to him.
"During this period, McKenna III had interactions with senior executives including BlackRock, State Street and Citigroup..."
Nigel Inkster said :
“But you know, it is normal for these Wall Street capitals to cooperate with each other, so we need a longer layout and analysis based on the intelligence we obtained to determine the abnormalities. place, and we also need to find opportunities to monitor in more ways..."
"I hope to see the results..."
Barron understood that Nigel was right. After all, as the chairman of the Pilot Group, McKenna III would go deep into many more secretive operations. For example, cooperating with other Wall Street capitals to conduct "hunting" and meeting with relevant officials to obtain more information that will not be disclosed to the general public...
“We also discovered something unusual, Your Highness, the Duke. One of the more special ones is that McKenna III had two relatively secret meetings last month. Although we did not take too much risk in the first time. More intelligence, but the second time, finally identified the person he saw..."
Nigel Inkster opened the documents he brought and gently pushed them in front of Barron.
What Barron saw was a photo in the file...
"This person is Michael Morell, a deputy director of the CIA. Michael has served the CIA for more than 30 years. He is currently the most powerful deputy director of the CIA and has a high prestige."
If you follow According to the current trend of time and space, the "Dangerous David", CIA Director David Petraeus, who took office in 2011, should have resigned last year due to the extramarital affair scandal.
However, because Barron had had "friendly exchanges" with the other party before, the relationship between David Petraeus and Barron became harmonious.
As a result, David Petraeus was able to avoid the outbreak of the extramarital affair scandal and has remained as CIA director until now.
You know, in the original time and space, the main reason why David Petraeus' extramarital affair scandal broke out was because - this matter was investigated by their "old rival" FBI.
In the summer of 2012, a socialite called the police claiming that she had been receiving threats from anonymous emails...
After investigation by the FBI, it was discovered that these emails were from CIA Director David Petre Paula Broadwell, U's biographer, sent it from Petraeus' personal email.
Originally, the FBI and the CIA never dealt with each other. Now that the FBI has obtained "dirty information" about the CIA's boss, it is definitely impossible to help conceal it... So the extramarital affair between the CIA director and a beautiful reporter was immediately exposed.
Then as the investigation deepened, the FBI discovered a lot of confidential information files in Paula Broadwell’s computer, and suspected that Petraeus had leaked it. The affair immediately turned into a national security incident.
Therefore, the CIA director David Petraeus, who had a promising future and was considered to be one of the contenders for the future leadership of the United States, had to choose to resign.
In addition, in the original time and space, after David Petraeus resigned as CIA director, the person who became the acting director of the CIA was Michael Morell, the most senior deputy director...
< br>Now, under the "kind reminder" from Barron's people, David Petraeus knew that his extramarital affair with a beautiful reporter was known to others, and he dealt with the matter for the sake of his own future.
In this way, there will be no more news about beautiful reporter Paula Broadwell using David Petraeus’ email to publish anonymous threats, and the FBI will not be involved in the matter, thus bringing this matter to light. public.
The result is that David Petraeus is still sitting on the throne of CIA director.
Of course, despite this, David Petraeus, as a powerful figure in the world's most powerful country, now controls intelligence forces all over the world. Even though he has a relatively "harmonious" relationship with Barron, he is still not It may be about providing them with information, etc. At most, the two parties will form some kind of tacit understanding on certain things.
As the senior deputy director of the CIA, Michael Morel, even with Barron's intelligence power, could only obtain confirmed information that he had a private meeting with McKenna III. As for the meeting between the two parties, There is still no detailed information on the content.
But this is enough to arouse Barron's vigilance.
"Increase the number of McKenna III..."
Barron hesitated for a moment, pressed his finger on the photo on the table, and said affirmatively:
"There is also the surveillance power of Michael Morel, but we must pay special attention to the surveillance of Michael Morel and be careful not to attract the attention of the CIA."
"Okay, Duke Your Highness."
"In addition..."
Barron looked at Nigel Inkster and said:
"I need more information from Alex. Support, we need to obtain monitoring records related to this matter..."
The "Alex" he refers to is Alex Young, the current director of MI6, who has a close relationship with Nigel and was originally promoted by Barron to assume his current position.
However, although Alex Young will provide them with some intelligence, not all of MI6's intelligence network will be open to them.
Now when Barron needs more specific information, Nigel needs to come forward to persuade him.
“Okay.”
Nigel Inkster sighed slightly and said to Barron:
"I will go talk to him, Your Highness the Duke."
