Victor was silent for a moment, but did not answer. To be honest, there are many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are opposed to getting involved in this matter. After all, they are not in a good situation right now, and they are in a period of strategic contraction. Just cleaning up the half-hearted troublemakers in the country has made them almost exhausted.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the whole country fell into chaos. A large number of materials, scientific researchers, and even equipment, instruments, and materials...... and so on. It was only after a lot of holes that the strongman was able to take over the mess.

It took years of adjustment, and now it's easy to recover a little bit of vitality. No one wants to be caught up in an all-out confrontation with the United States at this time. Of course, everyone also knows that Americans are certainly not going to sit back and watch them recover. Small means, they made a lot.

Helplessly, the people they support are too wasteful. Russia, which has suffered enough, has also found that mouthfuls of honey are basically either waste or bought garbage. As a result, the strongman's international reputation is not very good. But in reality, the support rate is extremely high in their country.

Quite simply, this strongman has indeed improved the whole of Russia, both physically and mentally. Although they still have a longer way to go. After all, they have only recovered a little bit of vitality now, and they still have a long way to go if they want to return to the prosperity of the Soviet Union and the power on the other side of the ocean.

Even, many people think that this is almost impossible anymore. The development of the world is gradually moving towards multipolarity. It is already very difficult to have a bipolar superpower as it used to be. And the country on the other side of the ocean seized the last chance to become the only superpower on the planet.

"Actually, we do know a little bit about the unit you're talking about." Victor doesn't intend to hide too much, and the jackals have been able to survive and even contact them to this day. This shows that jackals have their own intelligence channels. And Hou Dasheng has already pointed out that that the army belongs to the country on the other side of the ocean.

This is not surprising. Aside from that country, there are probably not many countries that can train and equip such a force now. Being able to guess where the unit belongs, Victor is not surprised. In fact, in the former Soviet Union, they also had a similar force.

It is a pity that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, they could no longer afford to maintain such a huge attrition of troops. Although, after Grozny, at one point, the strongman wanted to reassemble a similar force. But it never worked. The mere maintenance of the existing Russian special operations forces almost exhausted them.

You know, Russia itself has many special forces inherited from the USSR. For example: Vympel, GRU, Alpha, Wimbell, Warriors, Ross, Retnik, Skiff...... Wait a minute. One by one, these units have also proved the value of their existence in Grozny.

In that bloody battle, which lasted for nearly two months, they paid a very heavy price. More than 2,000 combat units entered, and more than 1,000 casualties. However, with the cooperation of jackals, most of the troops who crossed the border and were called "mercenaries" were directly annihilated there.

To some extent, they are equivalent to a direct confrontation in a hot war against most countries, including Europe and the United States. It could even be said that they were fighting half the world at that time. And in the end, the victory. Although, this victory was a pyrrhic victory in a sense.

"We very much hope to have the information of the force you are talking about." Victor put his hands together on his lap and looked at Hou Dasheng: "But we don't want to have a head-on conflict with them because of this." I'm not shy about saying that we're not in a good situation right now. We are still in the recovery period. ”

Victor speaks Chinese, and Hou Dasheng is not surprised by this. If, with Russia's intelligence gathering efforts, they can't even figure out where they are from, then they can really apologize for their own crimes. There are many details that they may not be clear. But Hou Dasheng's identity is a Chinese, and they must be able to figure this out.

Ordinary mercenary groups, I believe that Victor will not take it seriously. Jackals, an exception. Although they also don't know why jackals appeared on the battlefield back then. They also didn't know why the strongman's temperament would allow the jackals to intervene in Grozny.

Of course, in the end, the strongman's decision turned out to be extremely correct. When he offered to let jackals into Grozny, there was a lot of opposition. In the end, he was directly pressed down. The jackal's performance after entering the field also made many people choose to shut up.

Victor's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop: "Friend, we are not stupid. I'm sure they're not on the other side of the ocean. Even if you are involved, they will know where we are. ”

"I can tell you very honestly, in fact, they have been in dialogue with us since you entered Ukraine." saw Victor looking at Hou Dasheng and said in a deep voice: "What they hope is that they can use limited force to solve you here." But I don't want to provoke our opposition. ”

Hou Dasheng was a little surprised that Victor was willing to tell himself about it. But looking back, it seems to be a matter of course. After all, this thing is not an impermeable wall. Hou Dasheng and they entered Ukraine, and they couldn't hide it, and others didn't think about hiding it.

"The information that the gentleman threw out recently is probably provided by you, right?!" But I saw Victor looking at Hou Dasheng with a smile and said, "Although we have always suspected that they are actually related to those things. But after all, there is no evidence. You're doing this, and you're losing a lot of face. ”

Hou Dasheng smiled faintly, without admitting or denying it. just whispered to Victor: "Even if you don't get involved in this matter, will the country on the other side of the ocean give up making trouble for you?!" Or will they be grateful to you for it?! ”

"Obviously, it's not possible. They will continue to try their best to intercept you, weaken you, and devour you......" Hou Dasheng spread his hands and said softly, "until they have enough ability to annex you." Otherwise, they won't stop there. ”

Victor didn't answer Hou Dasheng's words directly, but just squinted his eyes slightly and waited for Hou Dasheng's next words.

"We all know that they're definitely not going to stop." Hou Dasheng looked at Victor and said softly: "What we can do is to give up illusions and be ready to meet challenges at any time." I am sure that they will not be willing to come into direct conflict with you. After all...... They do not think it would be wise to confront a war with a nuclear-armed power. ”

Victor shook his head and said softly: "We will not play with fire, and we will not bet on the country as a bet." Friend, you have to know that it has not been easy for us to get to where we are today. It's not easy. There is no way to convince me with your words. We have our considerations. ”

"No, no, no...... Don't think that I'm here to convince you to come here. Hou Dasheng smiled slightly and said softly: "Even if there is a personal friendship between us, the priority is the national interest. I understand this very well. Besides, we don't have a personal friendship yet. It would obviously not be possible if you were asked to think more about us......"

paused, but saw Hou Dasheng stretching out his hand to the hound. Soon, the hound somehow pulled out a document bag from the chest of his suit. Hou Dasheng took the document bag, put it on the table and handed it to Victor.

Victor glanced at Hou Dasheng without doubt, and then took the bag and opened it. I saw stacks of documents and some photos inside. Just looked through the documents a few times, Victor's face suddenly changed! But he slowly put down the documents in his hand and looked at Hou Dasheng: "Your news...... Is it reliable?! ”

After asking this, Victor couldn't help but laugh to himself. At the very least, Hou Dasheng's news will be more reliable than his. As a result of the strategic contraction, the acquisition of intelligence has also had to be contracted. The acquisition of information has shrunk, and there must not be many sources of intelligence.

Anything to do is to burn money. Intelligence work is even greater. A lot of it doesn't go directly to a special agent. Some are attendance, hiring outside personnel, and analyzing public information...... Wait a minute. Intelligence work, in fact, is not complicated. But it's not complicated, but it's also cumbersome.

In fact, most of the people who come and go are similar ways. 007 and the like, at most, appear in the following movies. In reality, most of the special services are actually not good-looking. Unless it's a snake that has been released. Most of the people who really do things don't want to attract too much attention.

And many intelligence officers, in fact, do not spend too much to buy. There are even some people who give a random melon or two dates, and give you things that are easy for him and extremely important to you. More important than intelligence gathering is analysis and inference. The conclusion was then finally drawn through other intelligence corroboration.

This process, if the time is fast, it will take ten days and half a month. Slowly, it may take a few months to half a year. It could even be up to several years. For example, how did the Japanese discover the location of the Daqing oil field and estimate the approximate amount of exploitation and reserves?

In 1959, Daqing began mining. By May 1960, the first oil well was producing oil. The Japanese side has been paying close attention to this. And how did they finally discover and determine the location, reserves, and production of oil fields years later?!

This brings us to the collection and analysis of intelligence. Japan spent more than a day or two in this matter. Rather, it is up to several years.
