Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen: The Agent Betrayed by His Boss

The old fox looked at me: "Of course I won't force you, but all your actions will be the result of other people's careful arrangements." I was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to refute his words, but the old fox laughed suddenly: "I don't know about other things, at least in this matter, all your actions are going according to other people's arrangements and plans." I opened my mouth wide, but before I could make a sound, the old fox stretched out a finger and pointed at me: "Since Batu suddenly appeared in front of you again, think about it carefully!"

I know what he wants to imply. He wants to say that under the arrangement of Batu and the plan of Quicksilver, I joined this spy war. It cannot be said that it is unreasonable for him to say this, but I must refute it: " You can’t say that, if your statement is true, then all actions of anyone are the result of other people’s arrangements—because people live in groups and cannot live alone without the influence of anyone.” The expression and voice of the old fox sounded quite profoundly sad: "In the first place, taking that famous marshal as an example, do you think he wanted to use the plane to escape? Since he was promoted to the second position At the beginning, all the careful arrangements have been going on, step by step, so that he (or forced him) ended up taking a night flight to escape. The arranger already knew this result, but the one who arranged it was kept in the dark Here, I thought it was the god of fate who was making fun of me, I thought that I would create my own ideal mood through hard work, everyone thought this way, and this kind of thinking..."

When the old fox talked about this, he paused for a while, as if he was looking for an appropriate metaphor.I stared at him dumbfounded. This veteran secret agent may have seen through the world because of his experience, so he said such profound words. The old fox was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to stroke his face heavily, and then said, "It's like the wooden man who pulls the thread, who suddenly has a whimsy and wants to leave the thread puller and have an independent life." After he finished speaking, he remained silent for a while, and I didn't say anything. Although the train was still rumbling forward, there was an extreme sense of silence in the carriage.

After a while, I said, "That...that's too philosophical, let's talk about it practically." The old fox smiled wryly: "Okay, the most practical thing is that your entry into our country is all arranged by mercury." Not only did I agree, but I was also annoyed: "It can be said that I fell into his tricks." The old fox smiled bitterly: "All of Mercury's actions are also arranged. He thought that everything was done in secret, but in fact, we all know his every move." I tried my best to calm myself down: "Is there a traitor in his organization?"

The old fox raised his voice: "There are traitors in any organization! There are also his people in our organization." I don't want to get in touch with most of the situation related to the organizations of the two parties, so I asked: "Then the marshal, the mercury must be in your hands." The old fox's answer was a bit mysterious: "Everyone says that." I didn't know why, so I looked at him suspiciously, and he added: "My boss told me so." My heart trembled: What does the old fox mean by saying this?Insinuating that his boss is lying to him too?

I settled down: "When you are in the painting, all your activities on the Mongolian grasslands are all..." The old fox interface: "It's all arranged by the above. The purpose is to convince the agents of various countries to believe that the marshal's situation is extremely mysterious and related to magic and witchcraft-now, there are many believers in this kind of thing, and there are also the most capable people in the West. The agent of Batu, everyone should believe in Batu's personal experience." I sighed: "But the effect is obviously not as expected?"

The old fox sighed: "If Wesley also believes that he has entered the painting, it will be perfect!" I waved my hands vigorously and patted the table with both hands so that I could lean forward: "Your boss, what is the real purpose of wanting to make people believe that the marshal has entered a painting?" The old fox didn't think about it at all: "To cover up the truth." I asked quickly, "What truth?" The old fox's expression was also a little excited. Obviously, it was something he had thought about for a long time, but he had never said it to anyone: "The truth is—the Marshal is in their hands!"

I also thought of this conclusion. The old fox's thoughts are the same as mine. That is shocking enough to me. For the old fox, he has suffered a great psychological blow since he thought of this conclusion. , it is conceivable that it is no wonder that he always has an extremely tired expression. Because, that shows that his boss hid the truth from him, lied to him, mistrusted him, and continued to use him. In the secret service organization, there is nothing more terrible than not being trusted!An agent who is not trusted by his superiors, no matter how high his status is and no matter how capable he is, even though he continues to carry out his mission, he will undoubtedly go with the walking corpse, because he is a person who was betrayed by his superiors.

I stared at the old fox, feeling extremely sympathetic to him in my heart, but I really didn't know what words to use to comfort him. He smiled bitterly, presumably seeing my sincere sympathy for him in my eyes, so he murmured Authentic: "Thank you! Thank you!" I smiled bitterly: "When did you come to this conclusion?" The old fox said in a deep voice: "Recently, after the superior asked me to arrange the trick of 'man in the painting' in Finland, based on various signs - even you can come to that conclusion, naturally I can. The secret agents who betrayed are the same as Batu!"

The old fox's last words made me jump up straight, just when the carriage swayed, I couldn't stand upright, and sat back on my seat, I opened my mouth wide: "Batu... who betrayed him?" The old fox's voice was very flat: "Quick Silver, or someone who is higher and more powerful than Quick Silver." I flicked my hands indiscriminately: "No... As for it? The Western spy system, it can't be so..." I didn't say the following series of adjectives, the old fox had already burst into laughter, and then his laughter stopped suddenly, and he also pressed his hands on the table and leaned forward: "We have been keeping an eye on Batu's whereabouts, and found that, We have arranged for Finland's 'disappearance', which can be staged at any time, and Batu is also at that time, and when he arrives in Finland, it is most likely the arrangement of Mercury."

I have known for a long time that the process of spy work is a bit unimaginable, but I never thought that it could be outrageous to such an extent. I hurriedly said: "It was arranged for Batu to meet female teachers and students on the road. What are you accusing? Accusing Quicksilver colluded with your boss?". The old fox shook his head: "Shuiyin is not advanced enough, it is very possible that even he was betrayed." I laughed "hehe": "This is unbelievable! The top leaders of the Eastern and Western spy organizations will work together. This is too far-fetched, your imagination is too rich!" The old fox shook his head: "It's not that I have a rich imagination, but that you lack keen observation of the subtle situations in the world." I stared at him, and gradually understood what he wanted to express. I took a piece of paper, tore it into three pieces of similar size, and then put two of them together: "You mean, in order to To deal with this side, the two hostile forces have carried out an unprecedented cooperation." The old fox nodded: "There have been too many such situations in history." I said: "Even if that's the case, the top leaders of both sides don't have to betray their subordinates." The old fox slowly shook his head: "Must, only if even his subordinates are betraying, can the other party believe that the marshal is neither in the hands of the Russians nor in the Western world, but... mysteriously disappeared! Friend , This is the origin of all stories!" I gritted my teeth a bit: "An ugly and boring story." The old fox smiled: "Compared with your previous experience, maybe it is. In your experience, most of your dealings with aliens, but in this story, it is all earth people, and they are a group of conspiracy, acting but Pursue the purpose, use whatever means, it can be said that everything will be used to the extreme!" My emotions are quite contagious: "From the marshal to the schoolchildren, it's really sad." The old fox sighed: "Don't blame the children, they...are arranged, and don't blame me, I was also arranged..." He said this sadly, and suddenly became energetic: "I just said, you are now in the middle of the river, and you are invited to go to the other bank with me, now you are willing to accept it?" I was a little hesitant, because I didn't know what his specific actions were for this kind of invitation. I offered: "Please be more specific." The old fox became a biological agent, but at this time, Jeff showed a very nervous look: "You and I, in fact, it's me, you and Batu, the three of us joined hands to break the arrangement made by others, and put that Find out the Marshal." As soon as I heard it, my heart couldn't help beating wildly. I couldn't speak for a long time. The old fox's proposal was very suitable for me. fight back. The documents brought out by the marshal and the secrets he himself knew are the supreme treasure house of the intelligence world. Otherwise, the intricate spy war would not have lasted so long. I am afraid that what I know is less than a hundred years old. One-third, I don't know how many thrilling things are going on in secret. I thought about it for a moment: "If I accept it, does it count as being arranged by you to carry out activities?" The old fox said: "Whatever you think, the combination of the three of us can definitely break other people's arrangements for us!" I quoted what he said just now: "The wooden man who pulls the string wants to have the ability to move." The old fox flashed a trace of sadness: "You can struggle, but you will always struggle." I took a deep breath: "You don't think about the consequences?" The old fox quarreled upwards: "There is no consequence worse than being betrayed by your boss. Even if you don't agree, I'm ready to do it with Batu." I asked, "I discussed it with Batu." The old fox shook his head: "Not yet, but I believe that when I go and talk to him, once he has figured out the key points, he will definitely agree. If you are added, there will be no problem!" I thought about it again: "Your boss's monitoring of your actions..." The old fox kept his voice extremely low: "The superiors never thought that I had already figured out the key to being betrayed, and they would not monitor me, thinking that I must be loyal and devoted to my life." I couldn't help being stunned for a while. In this environment where you lie to me and I lie to you, it is really impossible to reach any real agreement between people, let alone talk about heart-to-heart. The situation between me and the old fox is the same, but if I promise him, at least I can use him to meet Batu.I have a special relationship with Batu. After we meet, it will be much more beneficial to discuss the next step. So I nodded and said, "Okay, go and meet with Batu first." The old fox stretched out his hand to me, and I shook hands with him. It seemed that he was very sincere - I seemed to be more sincere, but in fact, only I knew what was going on in my heart. The old fox lowered his head again, and said something in a low voice. The speed of the train decreased obviously, and stopped after a while. The efficiency of the Russian agents was extremely high. As soon as the train stopped, there was the sound of a rolling machine. A small helicopter stopped in the field beside the road. The old fox made a gesture to me, and we got off together. Braving the cold wind, he rushed down the roadbed, ran on the snow-covered fields, kicked the snow all over the place, and soon boarded the helicopter. The destination was clearly communicated while on the train. The old fox didn’t give any orders, and the helicopter started to fly towards the Russian-Finnish border. After a while, it landed in front of a small village with only a few houses. The old fox and I got off the plane and walked towards a rather large house made of pure wood. At the door, I heard a burst of laughter coming from the house—there were men, women, and children. As soon as I heard it, I could tell that it was Batu who was laughing loudly, that beautiful female voice was the female teacher, and the children were the group of schoolchildren. The old fox pushed open the door, and he and I stepped in. Looking at the situation inside, I couldn't help being stunned!At the same time, I regretted coming to Batu very much in my heart, but I came to regret it at this time, so it was naturally too late. Batu, the female teacher and the group of children are playing a game of "Eagle Catch the Chicken". The female teacher acts as the "hen". The picture is "Eagle", he must go around the "Hen" to catch the chicks. They played very devotedly and earnestly. Batu yelled and laughed loudly. Since I knew him, I have never seen his face showing such an expression of being carefree and enjoying life as much as possible. Naturally, at this moment, he thought that he was in the painting, and all the troubles and disputes in the world could be ignored. It was conceivable that he felt relaxed and happy, and he had such a lovely companion as the female teacher. So, I regretted it at the first glance, I shouldn't have seen Batu - not everyone can have such a happy, relaxed and carefree life!If Batu got it, he should be allowed to continue, one more day. However, our appearance ended his days like this. We took a few steps forward, and Batu also saw us. He was completely stunned, and his expression was so strange that it was indescribable. The old fox greeted him first, but he didn't know how to react. I hurried to him, and he cried out: " You are here too! Come in too!" I looked at him sadly, and shook my head, Batu asked, apparently he thought me and the old fox had also entered the painting. I was thinking about how I should explain it to him so that he would understand, but there was no need for me to explain. A word from the old fox made Batu understand everything that happened out of confusion. The old fox didn't say anything to Batu, but just said to the female teacher, "Comrade Kanova, your mission is over." Batu was shocked suddenly, and immediately looked at the female teacher. A minute ago, his expression was still so happy. Then, when he saw us, he was extremely astonished. At this time, he obviously understood what happened in an instant. It was disappointment, anger, and sadness. I have never seen such a complex expression of the inner world on a person's face in such a short period of time. I even closed my eyes. Can't bear to watch. The female teacher immediately adopted a standard soldier standing at attention, bowed to the old fox, and answered loudly: "Yes!" She beckoned to the children, waved her arms, and walked out at the standard pace of the Soviet army. In a blink of an eye, the "female teacher" and the children left, and there were only three of us left in the huge building. Batu turned around slowly, moved his body slowly, as if his feet weighed a thousand catties, and then, when he came to a pillar, he leaned towards the pillar.He leaned too hard, or his whole body lacked the strength to support his body, so his head hit the pillar with a "boom". He didn't caress the place he bumped into, his eyes were dazed, and he didn't know where to look. I felt extremely sad when I saw him in this situation. The old fox walked forward and came to him, loudly saying: "Hey , don’t tell me that you have no doubts about being in the painting.” Batu's gaze was still distracted, and he said: "So what if you doubt, who would doubt a happy life." The old fox was literally shouting: "The happy days are false." Batu suddenly called out to him: "Happiness is what you feel personally, there is no false happiness." The old fox even shouted: "It's obviously a fake." Batu said hoarsely: "Even if it's fake happiness, it's better than real pain." The old fox was a little annoyed: "Dreams always wake up." Sweat broke out on Batu's forehead: "It's better to wake up late than early." The old fox groaned, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing more. Batu looked at me with a sense of reproach, and I hurriedly said, "I didn't know you were so happy in the 'painting'. Otherwise, I will never bring you back to reality!" Batu smiled wryly, shook his head vigorously, and slammed his head against the pillar a few times. The old fox obviously wanted to make the atmosphere more relaxed. He said, "Be careful, don't damage the precision instruments inside your head." Batu stood up straight and stared at the old fox for a moment: "Why is there such a big change?" The old fox said in a deep voice: "I don't want to be betrayed by the superiors, and I don't want you to be betrayed by the superiors." Batu shook for a moment, and couldn't help himself. He reached out and hugged the pillar for a while before letting go.It can be seen how shocked he felt at that moment.And for the next minute or two, he pursed his lips and frowned. I can guarantee that there are at least a hundred questions that are extremely serious to him, and he is thinking about them in a hurry. After two or three minutes, he let out a sigh of relief: "Sacrifice us, in order to show a third party?" He immediately thought of the key to the problem, and the old fox applauded: "Exactly." Batu's expression was very painful: "Mercury will not betray me." I also think so, so I said: "In my opinion, Mercury is also the one who was betrayed, so we can't blame him." The old fox spread his hands: "He is not important, the important thing is that we have to find the marshal." Batu asked a question that I hadn't thought of (I'm not a secret agent after all): "So what if I figured it out?" The old fox laughed. There was sadness and anger in the laughter, but also the pleasure of looking forward to revenge: "Take him to a neutral country and hold a press conference. It must be very lively." Batu raised his eyebrows. I didn't think it was very interesting, but looking at the situation of the two of them, they both thought it was a powerful counterattack against the boss who betrayed them, so they were very happy. I couldn't bear to pour cold water on them, so I just asked a practical question: "Okay, let's go around and go back to the old question: where is the missing Marshal?" Batu and the old fox looked at each other, and the old fox expressed his opinion: "The high-level people in the West must have seen him before!" Batu said: "But the others must be in Russia." I reminded them: "Russia straddles Europe and Asia, with an area of ​​22.4 million square kilometers." It is simply impossible to find someone aimlessly on such a large land. Batu looked at the old fox: "First of all, you need to know which level the secret reaches and how many people know it. You are the deputy director, so you can't even participate. Director?" The old fox smiled wryly: "Theoretically speaking, there is no secret in front of the chief, but...it's hard to say." Seeing his hesitation, I couldn't help being shocked. If even the director of the National Security Bureau can't participate in a secret, it would be too unthinkable. Batu suddenly said, "Who gave you the plan for the person in the picture?" The old fox said "ah": "It's not the director, but a general of the army command headquarters, an old man who has been in charge of intelligence work..." I also understood: "That is to say, even the director doesn't know, whoever assigns you a task to confuse Batu, he at least knows some secrets, and start on him first." The old fox took a deep breath and looked hesitant. I asked and snorted: "How is it, afraid that it will be difficult to approach?" Batu also asked the same question, and the old fox said: "No, he retired a few years ago and is now recuperating in a villa on the Black Sea. It is not difficult to meet him, but think about it, to trick such a veteran Is it possible to reveal a secret?" I said in a deep voice, "If it is possible, we have to try it, but it must be extremely confidential. The thing installed on Batu's head must continue to disable it, and Mercury cannot receive any messages." The old fox said: "That's simple, the anti-radio wave launcher is always on him, he just doesn't know it!"
