the world is at stake

"As long as you have enemies, any shortcomings you have are magnified."

Zhou Qingfeng didn't say much, he just reminded lightly: "I'm here to show my attitude. If you need it, you know how to find me." After speaking, he stood up, took his leave and left.

The meeting didn't last even 5 minutes.

When the suite door closed, another door opened in the room shortly after.

The beautiful married princess came out and asked the 'bald man' in a low voice: "What does this Harden mean?"

"Probably conveying some kind of message to us." The 'bald man' shook his hand and cursed: "This bastard's hand is surprisingly strong, I can't even hold him."

"Is he useful to us?" the eldest princess asked.

"Harden is the deputy director of Bureau G under the Department of Homeland Security. This is an intelligence agency that specializes in wet work. Harden became the deputy director of Bureau G half a year ago. There are rumors that he has a good relationship with the military. This guy cannot be underestimated."

The eldest princess saw it more clearly, "Maybe he just wants to make some investment in order to get a promotion. If it's a deal, my father will like this kind of person."

Outside the suite, Leina held Zhou Qingfeng's arm and asked suspiciously: "Sir, are you done talking?"

Zhou Qingfeng laughed loudly, "Trump has a book called 'The Art of the Deal'. To put it bluntly, he is bullying and straightforward. To make a deal with him, there is no need to talk nonsense."

Chapter 45

Trump is a businessman, born lame in politics.Not only is he inexperienced in politics, but the political elite doesn't follow him - everyone actually hates him.

The real estate developer ran for votes. After taking office, he only recruited a group of marginalized politicians, such as Navarro and Bolton.Some politicians are not counted, they can only be called keyboard politicians, the typical example is Bannon.

But Trump is still an extremely arrogant person.He does not accept any criticism and is extremely small-minded.So all the courtiers gathered under his hands were sycophants.

Like Pompeo.

Therefore, Trump's four-year term has made a mess within the US government, and the cabinet members are constantly changing.The White House and Congress are arguing every day, and national governance has basically stagnated.

This is more harmful than 'shocking Capitol Hill'.

Zhou Qingfeng originally didn't want to get involved in Wang Wang's ruling team, because that would be a troublesome 'shit pit'.But when Martha sent him a request to keep an eye out for possible small moves by other opponents, he realized he could capitalize on them.

Because he knew that Wang was extremely short of people after he took over the position, Uncle Zhou wanted to run away from the official position—the position of deputy director of Bureau G is a bit low now, and he is not qualified to participate in major events that determine the country's change.

But it is less than two months before voting in the general election. It is a little late to come to "hugging thighs" to run for office at this time, and it is not "burning cold stoves".

Zhou Qingfeng also didn't expect that a donation of 100 million US dollars and a meeting of less than 5 minutes would have much effect.But he hoped to register first to leave an impression on Wang Wang.

Next...

Walking out of the 'Trump International Hotel', Zhou Qingfeng sent Leina home first.The young female secretary invited him to the apartment for a drink before getting out of the car, but he pushed him away by saying 'there is still work tonight'.

Depressed, Lena stood on the side of the road and watched her boss walk away, muttering unhappily: "It's really not easy to hang up an elite man in Washington, what's wrong with me?"

After Uncle Zhou left, he really went to work.He didn't go back to Bureau G's headquarters, but to his villa on the outskirts of Washington.Sun Luoji has been here.

There are [-] to [-] electronic devices piled up in the basement of the villa, as well as a circular display wall, high-performance servers and other things, mostly for encryption, decryption and communication.

Sun Luoji has the authority to access the low-secret database of the US Department of Homeland Security, and occasionally uses the identity of 'Harden' to call the 'Hound Dog' of Bureau G to handle affairs.

Zhou Qingfeng entered the basement, dragged a chair and sat down.

Sun Luoji turned his head to look at him, and immediately pulled out a folder and handed it over, "Boss, do you still remember the 'hippie' George who died in Raymond? I followed up the progress of the case."

There are several files in the folder, the first one is George who was killed by Zhou Qingfeng.

When a person dies and the lamp goes out, its value goes to zero. The 'Brotherhood' did not continue to cover up its identity, nor could it.Sun Luoji checked the background of this person thoroughly.

"I focused on checking George's relationship network, including his address within six months, the hotels he stayed in, the flights he took, as well as his mobile phone and credit card records. Under the analysis of big data, many hidden clues gradually emerged."

Sun Luoji said with joy, and pointed to the appendix of the file with a sense of accomplishment, "There are a few guys in his network that are very special, for example, there is a guy with the code name 'ghost' in his mobile phone.

I followed the credit card records to find the hotel where the two met for dinner, and let 'Hound Dog' get the hotel's surveillance video, and finally locked down an armed man named 'Lille'.

Lear took part in the operation at Raymond and was hospitalized with injuries.So I have his social security account number and all the information.

Using a similar method, I continued to check with Lil, followed the clues to find quite a few members of the Brotherhood, and tapped their phones.

I ended up building a list of about 500+ people, basically one in seven members of the current 'fraternity'. "

This is the advantage of mastering the intelligence system, which is convenient for checking people and thieves.

"There are a lot of secrets hidden among the members of this seventh. For example, the 'fraternity' also has a lot of people inside the US intelligence system. One of them is a guy named Jannathan, I'm pretty sure he is a senior employee of the CIA.

So I have been very careful in my investigations recently, otherwise, if our opponent finds out and conducts reverse tracing, we will also be in great trouble.In addition, I also found an acquaintance. "

Sun Luoji pointed to a certain page in the folder.Zhou Qingfeng frowned and read out a name, "Mar Keshi?"

"Yeah, that's him. Apparently, this guy was recruited by the 'Brotherhood' as a follower.

You asked me to check Raymond Burton sent by the 'Low Key Club', and I found out that Marco Shi had contact with this person.With further phone tapping and stalking, the current situation became clearer. "

Sun Luoji smiled and played a surveillance recording.There were two men on the phone, one tougher, the other more sullen.

The gloomy voice first asked: "Mr. Marco, what is the attitude of the 'Brotherhood' towards the current situation? Why hasn't a decision been made yet?"

"No." The tough voice was helpless, "Our leader hopes to replace Trump, but he can't find a suitable candidate. This is the evil result of the organization's deliberate relationship with the political world."

"If you don't do it, we will do it."

"Get rid of Trump?"

"Yeah. We can't have this disgusting guy as President of the United States."

"Whatever, I don't like Trump either."

The recording is about 2 minutes, but the key is the first few sentences, followed by some miscellaneous things.Zhou Qingfeng felt as if he had found a treasure upon hearing this.The difficult problems he had been thinking about for several days suddenly came together, and he slapped his hands fiercely.

"Great, very good." Zhou Qingfeng shouted happily: "I know what to do. List all the recordings and the corresponding investigation files, and I will go through them carefully."

The two worked all night, conducting guided rearrangement of all the clues.

Early the next morning, Sun Luoji was so tired that he fell asleep on the floor.

Zhou Qingfeng returned to the headquarters of Bureau G with all the clues in good spirits.People in the authorities trembled when they heard the sound of his sonorous leather shoes stamping on the ground—I don't know who will be unlucky today.

During the morning meeting, the deputy directors reported their recent work sequentially in a formulaic manner.When it was Uncle Zhou's turn, he asked to report separately, saying that there was an extremely important and special situation.

After entering Director Wells' office, Zhou Qingfeng started to fire, "Your Excellency, when I was investigating a vicious shooting case, I discovered that there was a secret society preparing to infringe on the ongoing presidential election."

In countries and regions with a strong religious atmosphere, secret societies are plentiful.For example, the cult leaders in South Korea who mixed Christianity and shamanism will make some appalling events every now and then.

Secret societies in the United States are at their peak.For example, it is not uncommon for the leader to marry dozens or hundreds of wives and have a lot of children.Illegal detention and even torture and killing happened from time to time.

There are even more political secret societies.A typical example is the Ku Klux Klan, which was attacked in the early years.

just now……

Zhou Qingfeng first listened to the surveillance recordings for the director, and then showed the other party the relationship map obtained from the investigation, especially listing a few insiders hidden in the US Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.

Director Wells looked dignified and quite disturbed.But what moved him the most was Zhou Qingfeng's whispered words.

"Your Excellency, the situation is very serious. The erosive power of the 'Brotherhood' is beyond imagination. We must act to stop it.

At the same time, as long as we have enough evidence to submit to Congress, this is also a blow to the image of the FBI and CIA.Surely some parliamentary bigwig will appreciate that. "

Colleagues are enemies!

Bureau G's relationship with the CIA is not bad, but it is an enemy with the FBI, which is also a domestic law enforcement agency.The Department of Homeland Security often competes with the Department of Justice for funding, and the two fight hard.

If major faults can be found from inside the FBI, the masters in Congress will never spare the FBI.Correspondingly, Bureau G has also risen with the tide.

After talking about the general direction, Zhou Qingfeng also discussed the small direction, "Mr. Wells, as far as I know, among the two presidential candidates this time, Mr. Trump actually doesn't have any political team.

If Trump takes office, he will surely select some trustworthy people and promote them to important positions.For example, the position of director of the CIA will definitely be vacant. "

Uncle Zhou said half of what he said, and let the director think about the rest.

The seat of the CIA is indeed vacant, but Pompeo, who is currently serving as a congressman from Kansas, is in charge.Zhou Qingfeng thought about fighting for this position by himself, but he quickly gave up.

Too risky.

Not to mention the lack of qualifications and connections.Zhou Qingfeng's biggest advantage is that the traveler doesn't know who he is?If he is too active and replaces Pompeo, he will definitely be focused on.

Last night, Zhou Qingfeng was thinking about how to take advantage without being the target of public criticism.Obviously, pushing an unlucky guy up to try the firepower is the best way.

Director Wells wanted to know that his subordinates were hiding so many ghostly thoughts, but seeing all the clues listed by Zhou Qingfeng, he was so tempted to be fooled.

If this case is really successful, it will be a great contribution.

"What are the chances of Trump taking office?"

"Half to half, it's worth a gamble. If you succeed, you can get closer to the next president. Even if you fail, as long as you can prove that the FBI has been infiltrated by a secret society, the minister will reward you."

Zhou Qingfeng prepared all the knives and waited for Director Wells to stab someone.This poke will definitely make the 'Brotherhood' into a mess, and it won't be able to slow down for half a year.

"The secret society called 'Brotherhood' has a strong ability to infiltrate, and has many informants within the government. To find out, you need to personally command the director and choose absolutely reliable personnel.

Also, I suggest waiting until this secret society does its thing before making any arrests.If Mr. Trump can feel a little thrill and excitement, he will appreciate us more afterwards. "

Black, so black!

Bad intentions.

Jack Wells scanned the clues and files on the desk with his eyes, and then stared at Zhou Qingfeng for a long time.There is no waste in the intelligence system for a long time. The director is also weighing Zhou Qingfeng's suggestion and thinking about how to maximize the benefits.

Zhou Qingfeng thought about this all night last night, thinking about how to cater to the needs of the director.The two are now facing each other, and Jack Wells can't help but get into the pit.

The latter pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so he nodded and said with a stern face: "Harden, you did a good job. This case is indeed of great importance, and it is too stressful for you to handle it alone. "

That's right, the pressure is really too much.It's not good to be attacked by a crowd——Zhou Qingfeng said a few compliments in a 'modest' way, and gave up the 'credit'.

Director Wilson accepted the opportunity with a smile.

When Uncle Zhou left the bureau chief's office, he strode back to his own floor, strode proudly through the silent office square area, and shouted to his beautiful female secretary:

"Rena, make me a cup of coffee, remember to add milk and sugar."

Seeing that her boss was proud of herself, the female secretary knew that her chance to perform had come.She tidied up the skirt a little so that Mr. Harden's big hands could touch it smoothly and happily, and she could insert her fingers into the seam.

Chapter 46 Trial and Error

When Zhou Qingfeng went to the 'Trump International Hotel' to make an appearance, Marco Shi, who joined the 'Brotherhood', wore a leather jacket and walked slowly on the street near the hotel.

Under the neon lights at night, luxury cars brought celebrities and dignitaries to the election party, and generously donated tens of thousands of dollars to Trump in exchange for a chance to get close.

Or take pictures, or talk, or have dinner together.

Private transactions, manipulations in secret, harming the public and private interests, these things are protected by the cloak of legality in the United States, and ordinary people can only endure it even if they know about it-the prosperous United States is such a free country.

Marco put his hands in his pockets and glanced around.Like a curious passer-by, he carefully looked at the busy hotel entrance, and then disappeared into the darkness after a while.

After walking two streets, a car on the side of the road opened its rear door.

Marco got into the car.In the passenger seat, Lear, who had been beaten to death by Zhou Qingfeng, turned his head and asked, "Is there a chance?"

"No." Marco shook his head, "Trump is a rich man with billions of dollars in assets, and his security was originally top-notch. Now that he has become a Republican presidential candidate, the Secret Service has provided him with protection.

Although there is no blockade at the entrance of the hotel, there are security guards on several surrounding roads.Even with a suicide attack, it is difficult to get close to the target.If I really want to kill Trump, I'm afraid I have to use the army. "

Lear asked again: "When you went to those British guys, did they mention how they would act?"

"No." Marco still shook his head, "but I guess the possibility of doing something in Washington is extremely low. The only way to do it is to keep an eye on Trump's motorcade and attack him when he goes out for public events."

Apart from the words, several men in the car were frowning.The lights in the car were very dim, and their faces were darkened by the weak light, and they sighed incomprehensibly.

Politics is deceptively simple.Street parades, social propaganda, and TV speeches, in the eyes of common people in Europe and the United States, this is all about politics, and everyone can participate.

The 'Brotherhood' is somehow composed of elites who know that politics is more about deals and compromises that are hidden from the masses.But they are not as experienced as third-rate politicians in how to conduct transactions, full of pride.

On the next day, Zhou Qingfeng reported his investigation to Jack Wells.The director realized that this was indeed a good opportunity to make contributions, and Bureau G immediately took action.

The director of the intelligence system is responsible for dealing with the inner ghosts, and this is a major event that cannot be wronged.

The deputy director of 'Harden' was given a heavy responsibility to carefully select more than a dozen groups of 'hunting dogs' to follow, and the focus was on 'Harry' whom Martha had warned.

Raymond Burton, code-named 'Harry', is also in Washington, staying at the Hilton Hotel not far from the White House.He stayed in the suite with a few fellow followers, spreading out detailed maps of Washington and looking at where to start.

"Our press releases are basically useless. This is what Hillary did, and Trump doesn't care about it."

"The bottom of the United States has long been tired of political correctness, and they don't care whether Trump is a good person, as long as he is not a politician in the past."

"We can only choose to physically destroy him. As a presidential candidate, Trump's operational arrangements are basically public. This is very beneficial to us."

"Could it be easier to do it when he goes out to speak to get votes? That might be easier."

"At the speech venue or halfway? The security at the venue is strong, but Trump will not move. The security force on the way is weak, but we are afraid that it will not be easy to catch him."

"What if he is playing golf? The golf course is wide open, and the security guards cannot surround him. It is easy to kill him with a long-range sniper."

"That's a good idea. It's not hard to get a few sniper rifles in the US and get the 'Brotherhood' to offer them to us. They won't say no."

Gray-eyed Raymond Burton was not listening as his subordinates carefully discussed their plan of action.In his mind, he wondered who would stop him.
