If you cheat, money will follow

Paul stared at the document in his hand, frowning, as if he could wring water out of it.

That document was simply a hot potato for him, giving him an unprecedented headache.

Indeed, how could he not have a headache?

There is no list of personnel in the document. This is not due to negligence, but because the NSA and CIA have different responsibilities and priorities.

What the CIA is good at is manpower control and close combat.

They are fighting through the Internet.

Although officials claim that the NSA is committed to strategic intelligence, tactical intelligence, network security, cryptography research, and information security to ensure homeland security and network security.

But the actual situation is that they monitor the world, and even their own people's communications, through radio broadcasts, communications, the Internet and other channels.

This document is part of the NSA's surveillance of its own people. It involves the communication records of business tycoons and members of the two houses of Congress, and occupies a large space.

Paul flipped through the documents, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The documents record in detail when these people called, who they called, and what they talked about. Even some unsightly and very explosive details are presented one by one.

Paul didn't dare to take another look, quickly put the documents away, and looked up at Burns.

There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, as if someone had revealed some secret.

He hurried out of the Oval Office and returned to Middlesbrough headquarters as quickly as possible.

He knew that a large-scale self-examination operation must be launched next.

He must find out as soon as possible whether human factors or technical factors caused the leak.

Only in this way can this crisis be calmed down as soon as possible and avoid causing greater losses to the NSA.

When Burns looked at Paul's fleeing figure, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, finally throwing away most of the blame.

His body couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

However, he knew that this was only a temporary relief, and the real test was yet to come.

Sleeping King returned to the office again, but with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

The previous burst of anger had not subsided yet, but he urgently needed to solve another more pressing matter - urgent urination.

After all, as an eighty-year-old man, frequent and urgent urination are normal. He can't hang diapers in this solemn office.

"Paul has left?" Sleeping King looked at Burns with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Burns nodded and responded: "Yes, Mr. President, he should have returned to the Fort Middle Headquarters."

The Sleeping King nodded slightly, then frowned, and his tone revealed a bit of severity:

"What about you? The intelligence network has been completely destroyed. What are your plans and plans?"

Burns took a deep breath and began to state his strategy:

"Mr. President, I intend to begin by reevaluating our intelligence collection strategies and methods to identify the root causes of network destruction and explore new ways to regain critical information."

He continued: "At the same time, we will also strengthen network security protection to ensure that such incidents will never happen again."

"In addition, I plan to rebuild intelligence channels and ensure their security and confidentiality."

However, before Burns could finish his words, Sleeping King interrupted him:

"Mr. Burns, I don't want to hear your empty words."

"I only care about one thing, and that is whether the other party has successfully developed a room-temperature superconductor. This is the issue I am most worried about."

In the past, the Sleeping King might have solved the problem in the simplest and most direct way - by applying pressure.

But now, he has scruples and dare not take action easily.

Worry about failing to exert pressure and being pressured.

Burns understood the Sleeping King's concerns. He quickly thought about possible solutions and then made a suggestion:

"Mr. President, even though our intelligence network has been hit hard, there are a number of partners we can work with more closely."

"For example, Neon Country, they have been very active in network intelligence, and their network system is even larger than ours."

When Sleeping King heard this suggestion, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in agreement: "Mr. Burns, I hope you can act as soon as possible and give me a clear answer."

He paused and his tone became stern: "Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk."

Burns immediately stood up and saluted the Sleeping King: "Don't worry, Mr. President, I will do my best to complete this task."

Sleep King waved his hand, indicating that Burns could leave.

He specifically warned: “Remember, I don’t want to see any reports about this matter in any media.”

However, things often don't go as expected.

At the critical moment when the campaign kicks off again, the struggle between the two parties is becoming increasingly fierce, and any small disturbance may be infinitely magnified.

What's more, this is a major incident involving the destruction of the intelligence network.

In the early morning of that day, when the people of North America were immersed in sleep, a series of documents and information quietly appeared in the hands of the GH party media.

These "uncrowned kings" were so excited that they rushed to write long articles all night long, preparing to publish or publish them after dawn.

. Whether it is print media or online channels, they plan to publish these breaking news simultaneously.

Unexpectedly, FOX couldn't help but break the news that night.

"Is this a safety hazard or a departmental struggle?"

"The CIA's intelligence network, which took years of hard work and cost tens of billions of dollars to build, was completely destroyed in just one month."

"What's even more shocking is that the list of this intelligence network actually came from the NSA. They "sent" emails to each other, which was like opening a door to the secret world."

The Washington Post was very helpless. While scolding FOX for being unruly and treacherous, it quickly published a bombshell article it had prepared long ago, revealing this shocking secret:

"The NSA has never stopped monitoring people's privacy."

"Despite proposals over the past few years to stop monitoring people's phone records..."

"However, this proposal has been repeatedly rejected, and people's privacy rights have been ruthlessly trampled on."

"This time, they have gone even further, upgrading from monitoring records to eavesdropping recordings."

"They know what color underwear you wore today and what flavor of salad you ate."

"They even know a lot about your personal life, who you date, who you meet, what you talk about."

"Members of Congress, don't think you will be spared. Your secrets have been revealed in more detail."

Subsequently, the Boston Globe, New York Times, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal and other media followed up with reports.

For a time, this incident occupied the front pages of the entire world.

CIA, NSA, especially NSA have become the target of public criticism.

People, officials, parliamentarians, and the media have criticized them verbally and writtenly.

The congressmen were extremely angry. They were shocked that they had no privileges at all and were living under the magnifying glass of others.

They stood in front of the media one after another and made fierce remarks:

"This situation is absolutely terrible and I can't believe they are still doing this!"

"They shamelessly completely documented our lives without our knowledge, which is a huge violation of our privacy rights."

"We were trying to find a balance here, but they disrupted that balance with impunity."

"Their powers must be revoked and this is a serious breach of the law."

A large number of reporters gathered in front of the White House, hoping to interview the Sleeping King and understand his views.

The Sleeping King chose to stay away.

The spokesman simply said: "Mr. President is very angry about this matter. He does not know about it. Everything is done by the NSA on its own."

At this time, Mr. Paul was extremely anxious, busy dealing with questions and accusations from various princes.

Mr. Burns has secretly contacted Neon, asked them for help, and made it clear that the other party must take action.

Neon also has this intention, but has temporarily shelved related plans due to economic pressure.

But now, the economic situation is still not improving after the beginning of the new year, and there are even signs of recession.

Therefore, in the face of crisis, this nation once again showed their dangerous characteristics and decided to join forces with Mr. Burns to carry out this work.
