"In view of NATO's attempts to establish pro-American forces in Poland, Hungary and other former socialist countries, as well as the deployment of long-range strategic interceptor missiles on their territory that threatened the survival and development of the Soviet Union, the documents of Project Giant also reveal the attempts of the United States to carry out covert subversive operations within the countries of Eastern Europe in an attempt to safeguard their interests abroad through such illegal black operations......"

Not only that, but the document was sent anonymously to newspapers in various European countries, and the Giant Project was exposed to the public as the responsible person stared at the television screen with a blushing face.

It was destined to be a long day in Eastern European politics, and after listening to the text broadcast by the TV host, the leaders of the political parties in Eastern Europe, who had already collapsed, sat on the sofa in despair, and after thinking for a long time, they dialed the phone number of the secret contact and told the American operator that it was all over.

Because they will next face scrutiny from the state disciplinary inspection department and the Supreme Court.

The Soviet Union's preemptive effort to expose the U.S. Giant Initiative was not only to expose the plot, but also to cite a large number of relevant detailed data, such as the proposer of the Giant Project, former CIA Director Woolsey, and President Mario and the Secretary of Defense who were responsible for perfecting the detailed project, and finally the CIA's head of Eastern Europe to actually verify the long-term and huge plan. The revelations also led to several bribery scandals involving the chairmen of some pro-US political parties in Eastern European countries. It triggered a wave of collective resignations from Eastern European leaders, and when they issued a press conference, their eyes were focused on the Soviet Union with resentment.

President Mario's face is understandable, although the White House has tried to make amends, such as the fact that the White House press conference initially denied what Moscow had reported and did not comment on the Soviet revelations. The White House press secretary claimed that the United States did try to cooperate with Eastern European countries to establish a plan to maintain European stability and unity, but there was no interference in the internal affairs of Eastern European countries.

However, as the details were further leaked, the White House also discovered that the Soviet Union knew much more than they thought, and it was simply a mistake that President Mario could not tolerate by providing the most secret plan of the United States to the Soviet intelligence agencies entirely. And this mistake clearly came from the trusted CIA.

And the CIA leader Deutsch was even more panicked, and he began to repeatedly investigate what went wrong, after all, the Giant Project is a top-secret operation of the CIA, except for a small number of high-level executives who know about this plan, there is no second person who knows the face of the Giant Project.

Ames also completely cut off contact after the last call with KGB agents, ostensibly to prevent Ames's identity from being revealed, and was reviewed by the Washington Department of Defense Interintelligence Investigation Team, but in fact they threw Ames as an outcast, because the CIA plan obtained by the KGB through Ames had far exceeded their expectations. And Comrade Kryuchkov also asserted. The leakage of the Giant plan is bound to arouse the suspicion of the investigation team, and Ames will either choose to flee to a country where there is no extradition treaty, or be caught by the investigation team and eventually put on trial.

This time, the CIA will have two unlucky people, one is the CIA director Deutsch, and the other is the CIA spy Ames.

After analyzing the failure of the Soviet operation and the leak of the Giant Project, the inter-intelligence investigation team pointed all the fingers at Ames, by far the former head of Eastern Europe. In order not to startle the snake, the investigation team was on Ames when he went to work at the company. When he was about to step through the CIA door, he was intercepted with a shocked face. When Ames was taken away by the investigation team, it was clear that he did not believe that he had been arrested.

At the beginning of the investigation, Ames showed the good qualities of a counterintelligence officer, first justifying and denying, then choosing to remain silent and refusing to explain his matter to the investigation team. It wasn't until the investigators put his anonymous Swiss account on the table that Ames, who looked calm, began to clench his fists.

"If I'm not mistaken, the millions of dollars here are paid by the KGB, right? Ames: You are very cautious, but even the most cautious people will miss certain details. For example, you should not shred up bank-related notes and throw them directly in the trash so that our people can collect evidence of your incrimination. ”

Ames's face turned pale, and he knew it was all over. The CIA has mastered the most critical core, the bank account. It's tantamount to undoing all the money he's received over the years.

"Tell me how you got hooked up with KGB agents, right? If you can find out who they have in Washington or New York, you may be able to get the court to open up and reduce your sentence at a court trial. For example, the recent Giant Project, I guess this is also from you, right? ”

After breaking down his opponent's psychological defenses, investigators tried to get Ames to tell who was behind the scenes, so as to save some face in the doomed intelligence war.

"You won't know, even I don't know who the other person is. The KGB acted very cautiously, only one-sidedly, and I didn't even look at their faces, except that they contacted me in various ways. Ames raised his head and sneered, "But before I convict me, let's be clear about one thing, the last intelligence spy I helped them do was not the Giant Project, but the CIA's home computer, to help them get the IP address of the director's computer." Please go to his house now, maybe there will be a surprise discovery. ”

The dim light flickered, making Ames' expression unreadable, but it made the interrogators present look at each other. Apparently they couldn't believe that the leak was from the director of the CIA.

"You mean, Director Deutsch leaked intelligence to the KGB?"

This is ridiculous, the director of the CIA is a traitor to the KGB, as unbelievable as the president of the United States is a spy of the Soviet Union, after all, the director of the CIA is a confidant of the president of the United States.

Ames's expression became indifferent, even if he was going to be tried, he would have to pull a substitute for the dead, Ames pointed to the interrogators, and said slowly, "Probably Director Deutsch likes to violate CIA regulations, and it is not necessary to bring some secret information home?" I'm just a pawn for the CIA and the KGB, but Director Deutsch is different, if it leaks out, it's a political scandal, and I don't think anyone wants to see President Mario smear a stain on his political career because of Director Deutsch's defection, right? After all, it was President Mario who strongly recommended Director Deutsch to the CIA. ”

In this way, the personnel of the cross-intelligence investigation team are indeed in a dilemma, they cannot deal with Ames alone, and they must uproot the high-level bigwigs who made mistakes behind them, but according to Ames, once Director Deutsch is investigated, then President Mario's face will definitely not be able to hang up, and President Mario will definitely not let this matter affect his presidential re-election.

"Escalate this matter to the DHS and let the DHS people investigate, our cross-intelligence investigation organization is only targeting traitors within the CIA, as for the CIA director...... I think it's better to have someone else do it. Involving an inter-intelligence team would put the president in a very awkward position. ”

After holding a secret meeting of the investigation team, the leader of the investigation team finally handed over the decision to His Excellency the President, and asked him to decide how to properly handle the matter, whether to expose it or conduct a secret investigation.

When the documents of the investigation are on the president's desk, this is the most embarrassing situation facing President Mario, and there is nothing more taboo than this, the CIA top brass has sold intelligence to American competitors, and how much damage it will cause to the Mario government and the CIA if the media is allowed to spread.

In the president's office, Mario's face was a little gloomy, he listened to the report of the investigation team word for word, and waited until the other party finished speaking before speaking, "How serious is the damage caused by this intelligence leak." ”

The leader of the investigation team took a deep breath, bit his lip and replied, "It is initially expected that the United States deployment in Eastern Europe will be completely disrupted, because the Soviets already know our hole cards. Moreover, the lives of agents lurking in Eastern European countries will also be threatened, after all, the Soviet Union is now trying in every possible way to expand its power in Eastern Europe and restore the power of the Red Iron Curtain. ”

Hearing this, Mario is already very clear about what a major blow this espionage case has dealt to the intelligence deployment of the United States.

President Mario raised his head and said to the head of the investigation team standing in front of him, "Investigate, this matter must be investigated in secret." Once that's true, I'll take care of it next. I don't want the Ames spy case to cause a storm in the whole of America, and I have to keep this incident within the reach of a few people. ”

The other party nodded, and left all the information, along with the record of the previous conversation with Ames, to the president, the DHS did not keep a single document such a sensitive document, and they did not dare to keep such a tainted record in their own hands. And DHS investigators know that an even bigger national scrutiny awaits them.

President Mario apparently no longer trusts the CIA. (To be continued.) )
