"I have to tell you that every decision you make in this office will affect the lives and deaths of countless people." The person in charge looked at the silent C and said word by word: "These people include our intelligence officers, collaborators, informants, ......"

I saw C's lips squirm, as if he wanted to say something. Unfortunately, the person in charge did not intend to listen, he took out an envelope from the inner lining of his suit and handed it to C: "This is my resignation report, and from this moment on, I will only tell you something in my private capacity." ”

The person in charge's approach directly made C stunned. He didn't expect that the person in charge, who would retire in just a few months, would choose to resign so decisively!

"I can tell you with certainty that you have provoked a great number of vicious enemies for England. I already felt powerless about it, I couldn't handle the errand with my salary. So I chose to quit my job......"

C swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing that the person in charge was one of the most prestigious leaders in all of MI6. At one point, it was even rumored that he would take over C's position as the new leader.

For this reason, C, who took office later, is actually a little wary of this newcomer. So many things, he is operating from the person in charge. The specific person in charge of the operation is also a former subordinate he found from the foreign affairs department.

I have to say that it is a rather cheating thing for foreign affairs personnel to engage in espionage work. In this era, it is difficult to cultivate a generalist all-rounder, and they need more specialists.

And these people are not generalists, so naturally they stumble over a lot of things. Fortunately, the person in charge didn't seem to have any complaints, and silently wiped the ass of the newly appointed C countless times.

Cleaned up a whole bunch of messes he and his subordinates messed up. But the more this is the case, the more this C guards against him.

Until now, the person in charge is really about to resign, but C is at a loss. He...... Are you really leaving?! Looking at the resignation letter on the table, this C finally shuddered unexpectedly!

He actually knows better than anyone what the situation of the whole MI6 will be if the person in charge leaves! Those who were once able to do things were almost all transferred away by C in various ways and excuses.

The reason is simple, they are basically supporters or sympathizers of the person in charge. C doesn't want someone in his department to have a higher authority than himself.

What's more, this position is what he has always desired. Therefore, he does not allow himself to be in this position, unable to show authority, and to be replaced by others.

"Carthus, you...... Are you really going to quit?! C finally couldn't help it, and stood up and leaned forward to look at the person in charge named Carter. He even subconsciously called out his name instead of a code name.

"You should call me M, this is the office." Cartel glanced at C indifferently and said softly, "Isn't this something you've always looked forward to?!" Okay, you can now let it go. I'm no longer in your way. ”

C couldn't help but froze when he heard this, and M looked at C with a smile and said softly: "Since I'm leaving, I don't mind telling you something that is not easy to say when I am your subordinate......

"First of all, intelligence work is not diplomatic work, and it is obviously wrong for you to use diplomacy to deal with intelligence." C seemed to want to retort, but M waved his hand and said, "You can listen to me, because I'll only say it this once." After that, you can no longer see me, you can no longer hear me. ”

After all, C chose to sit down and listen to M's statement.

"I am not familiar with diplomatic work, but diplomacy is always an extension of political work." M looked at C and said in a deep voice: "And our intelligence work is the precursor of politics and diplomacy. Your decisions are often backed up by our intelligence. ”

"A piece of information, especially important information, you see only one line of information, and what you hear may only be a sentence of information. But this information is often obtained by dozens or even hundreds of people, who work tirelessly and risk their lives. ”

With a deep exhalation, M pressed his hands on the table and said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, you may like to watch 007. James bond. And the only thing we have in common with movies is that we also need to act. ”

"The difference is that the actors can do it all over again with a little bit of film. If we NG, we can't do it again. In the best case, it is redeemed after torture. In the worst case, they will be tortured for months or even years before they will be executed. ”

M said to C in a low voice, "Have you ever seen someone who was tortured?!" Of course, you are engaged in diplomatic work, which you have never seen before. I have personally tortured people and participated in them. ”

"Those people will not be handed over, and they will not be recognized. The only thing they can do to endure torture is loyalty. And when their loyalty is exhausted, their only belief is to let themselves die quickly. ”

C frowned, put his hands on his lower abdomen and did not speak. M continued to himself: "It is very difficult to establish an intelligence network. This may have to be built by several C's and M's, sacrificing dozens or even hundreds of people......"

"But it was so easy to be destroyed, an order that could expose them, a misguided operation, a trace of carelessness. We are in the shadows, and the enemy is in the shadows. Our confrontations will leave no trace, and many times we will not even know about our deaths for this country......"

M walked to the window and looked out the window with a calm look in his eyes: "One of our jobs is to properly dispose of the bodies of those opponents who were tortured to death. In the same way, they will dispose of the bodies of our colleagues, collaborators, and informants......"

"The world is dying every day, some by accident and some by murder. But many more are missing, just can't find traces. And we have always had the highest casualty rate of any profession. It's even higher than many dangerous extreme sports or other jobs, such as skydiving, freediving, explosives, bomb defusal, ......"

Saying that, M turned around, looked at C, and whispered, "I didn't hide my disgust for you being in charge of MI6, because I know very well what the consequences of a layman leading us will be." Especially this kind of high-risk work, even I am walking on thin ice and facing the abyss......"

"But the reason why I didn't resign until now is because I don't want to watch my colleagues die in vain and innocently because of some of your ideas and decisions. They have done nothing wrong, and they are even loyal to their country as always. ”

C opened his mouth, as if trying to defend himself. But a smile appeared at the corner of M's mouth: "Do you need to defend yourself?!" Forget it, we have been operating in Xiangdao for 100 years. From the colonial period to the present ......"

"Dozens of sites, hundreds of elite intelligence officers and analysts. Lots of collaborators, informants, but overnight you made them all disappear. ”

M showed a trace of sadness on his face: "Our arrangement in France, our arrangement in Monaco, and the arrangement in Africa and South America...... I don't know how many of those colleagues are still alive and how many are on the run and don't dare to contact us. ”

"I just know that most of the intelligence sites carefully arranged by the entire MI6 and more than five Cs and Ms were destroyed in one fell swoop! Those colleagues who are spread across continents and countries and who live incognito and risk their lives for the sake of our country...... It's hard to survive. ”

There was a slight embarrassment on C's face, and he opened his mouth to say something. But M still didn't give him that opportunity: "Now I'm quitting because I can't stand the sacrifice of my colleagues and I can't do anything about it. ”

"I have tried, and the only reason I stayed was to hope that they would be sacrificed less, that they would be able to withdraw safely. But now it was obviously impossible, so I chose to resign. ”

But I saw M nodding at C: "Okay, that's all I have to say, good luck." Good bye! ”

After speaking, M walked directly to the office without looking back, opened the door and strode out of the office. C sat slumped in his chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze and not saying a word.

It was only at this time that he really felt the seriousness of the matter. However, something more serious is brewing to erupt.

When the phone rang in C's office, he learned that the news of M's resignation had spread throughout MI6 and even to MI5. The chain reaction caused by this incident is that one after another resignation letters flew in front of C like snowflakes.

"You really don't have to keep me, if even M already feels that this matter is hopeless, then what can we do?!" Here's one of the resignations left for C: "When I was just a hairy boy running in the field, M was already in charge of a lot of MI6 work......"

"I can tell you unceremoniously that he is the only person who is trusted by 90% of the people in this organization, from field to back." The resignee said unceremoniously to C: "If it weren't for his insistence, in fact, our resignation letter would have been submitted a long time ago." ”

However, he has now resigned. In the same way, he also carried the black pot that you killed those colleagues...... No! It should be said that he didn't carry it, indeed he was an accomplice! If it weren't for his insistence that you should have assisted you, I don't think those colleagues would have died. ”

These words pierced C's heart like a knife.

And the same thing happened not only in MI6, but also in the intelligence agencies of several European countries. The resignation letters from the field and some managers were handed over to the supervisors.

Many people don't even bother to go to the meeting, and the resignation letter is handed in and they leave the organization directly. They didn't even bring any personal belongings, so they went down to the parking lot and drove away.

"Gentlemen, I need an explanation from you! Why is it the result that it is now? Why!! C roared as hard as he could, inside his encrypted satellite phone.
