Chapter 777: Limited Effect
Aaron, codenamed Lighthouse, first made contact with the KGB on November 5, 1981, and first made formal contact on January 1, 1982, after careful mutual probing between the two sides.
Aaron's first revelation was full of gold, and a CIA's spy network in Eastern Europe that had been rooted for many years was directly terminated, and Aaron did not ask for any payment.
In July 1982, Aaron offered intelligence to the KGB for the second time, and a high-ranking government figure in Moscow was confirmed to have leaked information to the CIA several times, and the KGB dug up a mole that was large enough.
After the second contact, Aaron's value was undoubtedly confirmed, and it was also after this contact that the KGB offered Aaron a reward of 50,000 dollars, and Yarepin personally met Aaron for the first time in London.
The first meeting failed, and Jarepin failed to meet Aaron.
Aaron's third time to the K.G.B. was in December 1982, and this time, his intelligence helped the K.G.B. once again dismantle an intelligence network that the C.I.A. had been operating for years.
For the third time, Aaron again offered to meet with the KGB, and in the same month, Jarepin met with Aaron in London, confirmed Aaron's identity, and offered Aaron a reward of $100,000.
It would be more accurate to say that it is a reward than a bonus, because the reason for Aaron's voluntary defection was that his heart was towards the Red Soviet Union.
At the meeting, Aaron suggested to Jarebin that he needed some merit to gain a higher status.
At this time, Aaron served as the deputy director of the intelligence department of the CIA's European Bureau, with a low position and great power.
Among the many apostates in the CIA, Aaron provided a lot of information, but the quality of the information he provided was extremely high, and every time he sent out information, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the CIA, mind you, it was an extremely heavy blow.
Needless to say, how difficult it is to build an intelligence line, it can be said that every piece of intelligence provided by Aaron can ruin at least twenty years of American efforts.
So Aaron proved his worth, and Aaron, who had personally met with Aaron, personally proposed to his superiors to meet all Aaron's needs at any cost.
During World War II, the Poles were the first to obtain the secret of the German Engnima cipher machine, and then they handed over all the information they had to the British, and on the basis of the Poles, the British completely cracked the Engneema code, in order not to let the Germans know that they could already decipher the Engneema code, the British chose to sacrifice a city of Coventry to keep the secret.
For the sake of the Engneema cipher machine, for the continuous energy source of the Germans' intelligence, the British could make a city razed to the ground.
So what could the Soviets do for the sake of intelligence?
The Soviets didn't have to pay a city, but the KGB could pay a much more terrible sacrifice than a city on the intelligence line.
The KGB gave Aaron two whole independent intelligence networks.
Attention, it's the intelligence network.
It's not one line, it's a network, two intelligence networks that the Soviets have been operating since the end of World War II and successfully operated until the early eighties, and there are no ace spies in them, but they have made significant contributions to the Soviet Union's intelligence front.
The Soviets volunteered to give their spies to Aaron.
The costs are enormous, and the rewards are enormous.
In May 1983 and February 1984, after two years of achieving a superstar in each year, Aaron was promoted to Director of Intelligence in the European Bureau.
In June 1984, Aaron provided a list of three people arrested by the KGB.
Each of the three men captured by the KGB was enough to repay his efforts.
In January 1985, Aaron was promoted to Deputy Director of the CIA's Middle East Bureau.
Aaron's fifth delivery of information gave the KGB a lot of money in the Middle East.
The sixth time, the time Brian was used as a substitute for the dead, the CIA's Middle East bureau suffered heavy losses, and its intelligence network in several countries was devastated.
Until the collapse of the Soviet Union, Aaron did not provide intelligence to the Soviet Union, but according to Aaron's habit of transmitting intelligence in the past, he would not have made a move without particularly important information, so this does not indicate whether Aaron and Russia still had contact after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In the information given by Jarebin, the content and time of the information given by Aaron are written in detail each time, and if this information is handed over to the CIA, it will definitely not be enough to use it as evidence, but as long as the CIA is still vigilant enough and has at least rigorous intelligence organization, at least Aaron must be investigated.
But the information given by Yarebin is not used in this way, because too much time has passed, as long as Aaron is vigilant enough, he can completely clear his suspicions, after all, the accusations from the enemy must be discounted several times, and with Aaron's current status, this information can play too limited role.
However, Jarepin said at the very beginning of the material that Aaron should not be treated as a simple double agent, and that Aaron may be related to the Gray Man.
Just such a sentence, Yang Yi also paid attention to this sentence.
What is the basis for Yarebin's judgment that Aaron is related to the Gray Man, this information does not mention it at all, but whether it is just speculation, or whether Jarepin has some empirical evidence, since he said this, there must be a reason.
So Yang Yi thought that he had to meet Yarepin again.
But now, Yang Yi felt the need to deal with Brian and Anastakina's affairs first.
Yang Yi didn't know what Aryebin's definition of a wasted person was, but in his opinion, if Brian was a wasted person, then there were few people in the world who were not wasted.
But Jarepin is right in saying that Brian really only has Anastatina in his heart now, and it would be too unkind for him to devote himself to a new job when he and Anastakina first met.
And it seems that Anastakina is also going to join the water organization, which is a bit difficult to do.
Refusal is unlikely, although I don't know what Anastakina thinks, but it seems that she is unwilling to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person, but Anastakina has said goodbye to her spy status for decades, what else can she do?
Also, Anastakina's relationship with the KGB is too deep, God knows if what she said is true or false, as a minimum requirement for an espionage organization, no matter who wants to join this organization, they must first go through investigation.
After thinking about it, Yang Yi felt that it was better to send Brian and Anastakina out first.
Let Brian and Anastakina go to the two-person world, regardless of whether Brian and Anastakina can renew their old relationship, at least give them a chance to be alone, and at the same time have a buffer time.
However, Yang Yi really doubted that Brian had the ability to discern whether Anastakina was reliable or not.
Things seem to be a little difficult to do, but Brian and Anastakina's matter is a trivial matter after all, as long as the two of them are isolated for a while, the most important thing is to go to meet Yarebin, and before meeting Yarebin, a gift needs to be given.
