Chapter 47 Thirty-third plan

Doubt within doubt is compared to self-introspection, not self-lost. Set up another suspicious situation in the suspicious situation, and take advantage of the situation to cleverly arrange internal responses to the enemy camp.In this way, our army can win by cooperating internally and externally. One of the tasks of spies is to try to instigate mutual distrust within the enemy camp; countermeasures are to use the enemy's conspiracy to leave us, and then use it against the enemy. During the Warring States Period, King Yanzhao died, and King Hui, who succeeded him, had been at odds with the general Le Yi since he became the Empress Dowager. Qi Tiandan took advantage of this contradiction and took the opportunity to send spies to Yan to implement estrangement strategies. Deliberately spreading rumors, saying: "Le Yi and King Yanhui have long been enemies. They are afraid that King Hui will kill him, so they use the excuse of attacking Qi. Waiting for the opportunity to accomplish a great event. Now Qi Wu is most afraid of the other generals sent by the King of Yan, if that happens, Jimo may have already fallen."

After hearing this, King Yanhui really believed it, so he immediately removed Le Yi from his post and sent a general to take over, so Le Yi had to flee to Zhao. In addition, during the Three Kingdoms period, General Zhou Yu of the Eastern Wu used Jiang Gan, a spy sent by Cao Cao, to separate Cao Ying. King Yanhui drove Le Yi away, and fell into Qi State's countermeasures. The main reason was that this person was too narrow-minded and lacked the style of an emperor, so he only defeated Qi State. The general looks smart, but in fact he is not, but was used by Zhou Yu. Cao Cao was confused at this time, thinking that his own strategy had worked, but he forgot that others could also use countermeasures to kill two navy generals Only then did I realize that the price was too high.

Overlord Xiang Yu has always been regarded as brave and foolhardy, while Liu Bang, the king of Han, relied on tricks to win. He evened out an anti-intimidation letter, which made Xiang Yu suspicious of Fan Zeng. No matter how Fan Zeng explained it, it was useless. Xiang Yu had not killed Fan Zeng Pretty good.Reluctantly, Fan Zeng returned home, was so angry that he developed a cancer and died. Not only did Yue Fei fight well, but he also had a lot of tricks. He often caught the enemy by surprise, and used countermeasures many times, and every time he got something. The bandits in Lingbiao area were very powerful, Gaozong ordered Yue Fei to go to Zhaoan.

Yue Fei sent someone to meet the leader Cao Cheng, but Cao Cheng ignored him. Yue Fei had no choice but to report to Gao Zai: "The bandits in the Lingbiao area are very powerful, but they can't be recruited with empty words. Only by using force to weaken part of their strength, can they be recruited." Gaozong thought for a while and said: "Then please lead your troops to suppress, but it's better to fight quickly!" Yue Fei led his troops into Lingbiao, thinking as he walked, how can we call Cao Cheng to surrender as soon as possible without delaying for a long time?

At this time, the former army came to report: "Marshal Yue, just captured an enemy spy," and escorted an enemy spy as he said that. Yue Fei looked at the enemy detective, his two thief eyes flicked up and down to see that he was full of ghost ideas, Yue Fei immediately took it to heart. Yue Fei ordered: "It's getting late, let's set up camp and rest." He also said: "Tie this spy to the post in front of the tent, and he can't be told to run away!" At this time, a general came to report: "Marshal, the food has been eaten up, what should you do next year?"

When Yue Fei heard this, he was very dissatisfied, with an unhappy expression on his face, and said: "Then I have no choice but to prepare to go back, pass on my order to prepare to go back." The general obeyed the order and left. The spy heard these words clearly and saw Yue Fei's expression. At night, the soldiers guarding the spies were all drunk one by one, ready to go home, and had no intention of guarding any more. Seeing that the time had come, the spies untied their ropes and fled. The spies ran back to the village in one breath, shouting as they ran, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm back!"

"What news have you found?" Cao Cheng asked. "Your Majesty, the Yue family's army has run out of weeds, and they are going back to court tomorrow morning!" "How do you know that?" The spy told the story of how he was arrested, how he heard the news, and how he escaped. Cao Cheng listened.Lian said: "It makes sense, it makes sense. It seems that the time has come, brothers, follow me down the mountain, and let's copy the rear route of the Yue family army!" Seeing that the spies had run away, Yue Fei knew that there was hope for countermeasures, so he ordered: "Let's serve dinner immediately, and after the meal, march quickly to occupy the enemy's stronghold!"

Cao Cheng ran away outside the mountain. When he returned to the top of the mountain, he saw the banners of the Yue family army everywhere. The Yue family army had occupied many dangerous passes, and Cao Cheng was homeless. At this time Yue Fei informed Cao Cheng: Surrender quickly!Cao Cheng had no choice but to be recruited. Yue Fei also used anti-indirect tactics many times when fighting Jin Bing. Liu Yu and Jin colluded, posing a threat to the Central Plains, and Yue Fei had long wanted to use tricks to break their alliance. On this day, the Yue family army caught a spy under Jin Wushu. Yue Fei already knew that Jin Wushu and Liu Yu were at odds, so he made a countermeasure in advance.

When the soldiers escorted the spy into the big tent, Yue Fei became angry when he saw it: "You Zhang thief, I sent you to Qidi, why didn't you come back?" When the spy heard Yue Fei call him Zhang thief, he was secretly happy. Yue Fei must have admitted the wrong person. Why don't I make the mistake and save my own life, so he said: "I don't know when the villain will come back!" Yue Fei said angrily, "You don't know. At first I sent you to Qidi to lure Jin Wushu, but you never came back, so I had to send someone else. The Qi army has agreed to jointly attack the Yangtze River next year. He tricked Jin Wushu to come to Qinghe, and got rid of him, but if you don’t come back, are you guilty?”

"The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty!" "If you want to be convicted, I will write a letter, and you bring it to Liu Yu, telling him to raise troops on time!" Speaking of which, Yue Fei took up a pen and wrote a letter.Sealed it with wax oil, and asked the soldier to cut the spy's thigh with a knife, and put the letter in. After the spy returned, he handed the letter to Jin Wushu. When Jin Wushu saw the letter, he was shocked and immediately handed it to the benefactor. Then the benefactor made a decisive decision and abolished all the powers and positions of Liu Yu. From then on, Liu and Jin The union fell apart.

The most exciting thing about the modern stock market is the "good" news that is difficult to catch, and this kind of "good" news often comes from the inside of the country's major banks and exchanges. If you get accurate information, you will eat a lot and make a fortune. This is not allowed in the United States, which is what the law calls "the crime of leaking inside information." When Levin was in college, his grades were mediocre, but he was good at watching his face, and he was also good at speaking.So, he asked someone to buy a master's degree. One day in May 1977, carrying this fake diploma, he strutted into the office of the general manager of Citibank, the largest commercial bank in the United States. The general manager glanced at the young man and asked, "What can you do?" "General manager, I'm here to look for a job, here is my diploma!" The general manager looked at his diploma, it was just a very ordinary university, so he smiled and said: "Sorry, we don't have a suitable job for you here." "I can come and work in your corporate treasury department." "How did you know that our department is short of manpower?" "That's easy, because I've been here a few times, and I've seen a lot of files from the Wren Department on your desk, so I think the department is understaffed!" "You're right, then you can work for a few days first!" Levin didn't want to work in Citibank, but he took a fancy to the Citigroup brand. After working here for more than a year, he joined Lehman Bank under the brand of Citigroup and became the vice chairman.At this time he opened an account with a Swiss bank under a pseudonym.Start to speculate in stocks with news from inside the bank. By 1983, he had $3 million in his illegal account. In 1985, he became the managing director of Dressel Bank with an annual salary of 1 million US dollars. At this time, he hooked up with Ivan, the stock king. He provided Ivan with a lot of inside information, and Ivan got 9 million from it. Huge profits in US dollars, promised to give Levin 2.4 million US dollars in favors, but the money has not been cashed. On May 13, 1986, Levin was arrested. He paid a fine of 11.6 million U.S. dollars and confessed all his accomplices to the prosecutor. Only Ivan did not confess, because he wanted to wait until he was released from prison and let Ivan pay His 2.4 million dollars, but one of his accomplices gave up Ivan, and now it's a good show. The prosecutor used countermeasures on Ivan. Ivan used a secret code to contact Siegel on the public phone and proved Siegel's criminal facts. For this reason, Siegel sold the house and paid a fine, and had to sit in prison for 10 years. Siegel used the same method to prove that Kaidell and Jin Ren were guilty, and the two men also fell into the law. Ivan also took Jeffrey, the stockbroker, to court, and then set out Wedton, the director of the risky bond department of Keidel Bank, Freeman, the director of the risky bond department of Jinren Bank, and Thabo, the head of the Fine Arts Securities. A series of countermeasures is like dropping an atomic bomb on Wall Street. And Ivan finished playing the role in the anti-insidious scheme, but was released on parole by the police. A Wall Street banker said: "It's not that the crime of leaking inside information surprises people, but that this anti-insidious scheme to betray a friend surprises people." be surprised!" On February 23, 1944, FBI agents surrounded a luxury villa in Arlington with lightning speed. The door was knocked open, and Eames and his wife were seen carrying suitcases and going away. "Mr. Eames, we would like to ask you to talk," one of the agents said. Eames glanced at him. These people usually do some errand work under him. "I don't have time, let's talk about it when I get back from Europe." "Then we can't wait, this is an order from above." The agents put handcuffs on him while talking. At this moment, Eames understood everything. He stopped talking and got into the car obediently. Ames, 52, has worked for the CIA since 1962 and served as chief of the CIA's Soviet and Eastern European Counterintelligence Division from 1983 to 1991. Beginning in 1985, Ames was bought by the Soviet KGB and has since become a double agent. Since 1985, at least 10 staff members of the US Central Intelligence Agency have mysteriously disappeared while performing special missions overseas, and some staff members in the Soviet Union were suddenly and secretly executed by the Soviet authorities. Regarding this, the Central Intelligence Agency The bureau already felt that there was something wrong inside, but they never found any clues. In the autumn of 1985, Yurchenko, a senior Soviet spy, defected to the United States.He began to provide the United States with information about the Soviet Union, but one day, Ames came to the place where Yurchin was being held and had a secret conversation with him.After this conversation, Yurchenko looked a little dazed, and it was obvious that Ames had put a lot of pressure on him. Since then, he has kept silent. Soon after, Yurchenko mysteriously disappeared again, and he reappeared in Moscow a few months later.The changes in this side chain made the CIA dumbfounded, and there was no clue from the inside.This is also one of Eames' masterpieces. Another Soviet spy is Howard, who has been lurking in the CIA for a long time, providing intelligence for the Soviet Union. When the CIA found out that his whereabouts were suspicious, it secretly launched an investigation on Howard. He ran away suddenly one night, his whereabouts were unknown, and he finally appeared in Moscow. As we all know, the US Central Intelligence Agency has a fairly confidential system, which can be described as watertight.Its staff have a strict set of leave policies and are subject to regular polygraph examinations, none of which seem to have worked for Ames. In 1985, Eames married Rosario in Mexico City. At that time, he had a big banquet for guests and entered and exited high-end hotels. The scene was huge and the specifications were high. He was completely like a giant businessman. Where did he get so much money from? Afterwards, Eames said that the cost of the big wedding was brought by his wife from her natal family, and it was just like that.It has now been found out that all the expenses for his grand wedding were provided by the KGB of the Soviet Union. After Howard's escape, the CIA was shocked a lot, and it was confirmed that there were still Soviet spies inside the CIA, but after checking, there was no clue at all. Ames showed his feet in 1991. During a routine annual test inspection, inspectors found that his ripples were abnormal. His superiors discovered at this time that he had made several trips to Latin American countries. He did not report to his superiors, so measures were taken immediately, and he was replaced from the position of chief of the Eastern European Counter-Intervention Division.Transferred to anti-narcotics work in the Black Sea region. This time, the CIA no longer cared about its face, and joined forces with the FBI to conduct reconnaissance on the Ames case. Investigators pulled out all the stops this time, bugging Eames' room, installing surveillance devices in his computer, installing tiny cameras in the hallway of his house, and eavesdropping on his voice over the radio. All the phone calls, this is not enough, special agents check his garbage every day, looking for evidence from it. Then there is the investigation of Ames' economic income. All spies must obtain intelligence income. Without a high income, it is impossible to bribe him. For a long time, Ames has spent much more than his income. is an unexplainable problem. His annual salary is 69,000 yuan. From April 1985 to November 1993, his total income was only 340,000 U.S. dollars, but his expenses during the same period were as high as 1.3 million U.S. dollars. He bought a set of 540,000 U.S. dollars. He also spent more than 100,000 US dollars on the decoration and purchase of furniture at the same time, and then he bought a "Honda" car for his wife and daughter, which cost 19,000 US dollars. In 1992, I bought another 25,000.This is not enough. He also bought 160,000 yuan in stocks and paid 20,000 to 50,000 U.S. dollars for his wife's tuition. He spends a lot of money and spends money like water. Since 1985, more than 1 million US dollars have been transferred to his account without Swiss banks. The most important evidence is yet to come. On June 23, 1993, investigators entered his office in Building G, the new headquarters of the CIA, and found 144 classified and top-secret documents at once, all of which were related to the It is related to the counter-espionage activities of the Soviet Union. Ames is engaged in anti-narcotics work. What does he want these documents for?Now the problem becomes clear. The FBI is not particularly satisfied with this. They still want to put a long line to catch big fish, at least to attract more "cavemen".However, there was a small loophole in the arrangement at this time. According to the schedule that had been arranged long ago, Ames would go abroad for business and head to Moscow. This undoubtedly gave him a chance to escape, and he also showed his desire to escape. Signs, so the FBI had to act in advance. After the CIA scandal was exposed, the U.S. government and the public were shocked, and President Clinton demanded an immediate investigation into the damage caused to the U.S. by this incident. The U.S. State Department also requested the recall of Russian diplomats involved in this matter in accordance with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.However, the Russian side did not react excessively.It seems that the main reason is to make a profit. It can be said that the US Central Intelligence Agency is dedicated to calculating others.But this time, people will be blamed, no matter what retaliation actions the United States takes against Russia.One is well known, that is, in today's fierce anti-espionage war, the United States has lost solidly to Russia in this round. How much harm this super double agent Ames has brought to the intelligence work of the United States, I am afraid that it will not be clear in a year or two. Only the CIA itself knows the dumbness of this.
