…… Self-spying on members of Congress is a serious offense, and Wesley did not dare to do the slightest

If in the past, Wesley could use CIA field agents in the name of special training, intelligence tracking, etc., now the CIA has been hyped up because of the death of former director Jonathan, and Congress has set up an independent investigative committee for this, if Wesley uses CIA field agents to track and spy on members of Congress, it will inevitably cause big trouble

As a last resort, Wesley could only transfer Hubert, who had been serving as an intelligence liaison outside for a long time, back and let him summon more than a dozen retired soldiers who had cooperated with the CIA in the name of "foreign-related intelligence security operations" to form a special operations team that directly obeyed the CIA director

With decades of experience working in intelligence, Wesley quickly identified key issues

Nadiq is chairman of the Senate Financial Supervisory Committee, and his close Republican lawmakers, as well as senior Republican members, are inextricably linked to finance

Following this lead, Wesley asked Jackson to investigate the personal assets of Nadick and other senior Republican Party members

"They are all wealthy people with a lot of money, and their personal assets are at least tens of millions of dollars, and at most hundreds of millions of dollars" Using the federal agency coordination mechanism, Jackson quickly reaped the benefits "Except for a small amount of cash, their assets are managed by economic companies in the form of entrusted investment in accordance with relevant laws, and there is no big problem, but in recent times, their asset investment has changed very much"

"What do you mean?"

Jackson handed a paper document to Wesley: "A few days ago, these Republican dignitaries transferred $50,015,000,000 in assets to this investment management company called 'Huashi' Yesterday, the company used a large number of companies' chairman Chambers to complete a share exchange transaction and became the largest shareholder of 'Louise Resources Investment Company'."

"'Huashi'?" Wesley frowned slightly, "Is this company just established?" ”

"Yes, the registration time is November 7, and the approval time is November 8"

"That's a little too fast, isn't it?" Wesley looked over at his assistant, "When did the federal government become so efficient?" ”

Jackson smiled bitterly and said: "This is caused by the economic downturn, and now most of the new company approval work can be completed within 48 hours, and if there is a channel, it can be approved at 24 hours."

"Presumably Nadic has done a lot of work too," Wesley smiled and shook his head, glancing at the registered capital on the paper

"Only $15 million"

Hearing Jackson say this, Wesley immediately frowned: "How did this company, which has just been established for a week, get so much money to complete a $2 billion share swap deal?" ”

"Maybe it's not just a few Republican dignitaries who are entrusted to invest."

"Can you find out other customers?"

Jackson hesitated for a moment and said, "It's very difficult, even with the president's approval, the Federal Reserve Bank regulators, who manage financial investment companies, don't necessarily give us face."

Wesley rubbed his forehead, suddenly remembered something, and looked up at his assistant

"I can try to ...... with the Federal Reserve Bank"

"There's no need for that," Wesley pressed his hand, "You started saying that 'Huashi' exchanged the shares of the 'Lishi Group' for the shares of 'Louise Resources Investment Company' in Chambers'?" ”

Jackson nodded

"Don't you think that's weird?"

"What do you mean......" Jackson didn't understand what the director meant

"'Lishi Group' is not only one of the world's top 500 large groups, but also one of the few financial investment groups that can make money, and 'Louise Resources Investment Company' is just a small company with a little-known name."

"Still an investment company on the verge of bankruptcy"

Wesley nodded and said, "Regardless of the background of 'Huashi' for the time being, those Republican dignitaries won't be so idiotic as to take millions, or even tens of millions of dollars, right?" ”

"I've looked up the situation with Louise Resources Investments"

Wesley frowned slightly, motioning for his assistant to continue

"Although the company's market value is only $2 billion, the debt ratio is nearly 100 percent, and it is on the verge of insolvency, but the actual value of the company is about $5 billion, excluding the bank's debts, 'Huashi' can make a profit of $1 billion from this transaction, and the investment-to-income ratio reaches 25 percent."

"Do you think it's that simple?" Wesley smiled and shook his head, "'Huashi' is just an investment company, not the actual value, but the market value, if the Republican dignitaries don't plan to retire to run the overseas mines of the 'Louise Resources Investment Company', they have no reason to support the 'Huashi' deal, the annual return of the stock of the 'Lishi Group' has been around 10%, which can be regarded as the best investment project."

Jackson hesitated, and had to admit that the director's analysis was justified

Who's the boss? ”

"Ronald Lee"

"Chinese?" Wesley's eyes immediately widened

"It's not clear, we have very limited information from regulators"

"Find out this person's background as soon as possible" Wesley took a long breath, "No matter what, 'Huashi' is not simple, and neither is the man named Ronald Lee"

"You think he's behind it?"

"It is not certain that 'Huashi' operates stock transactions according to market rules, and those Republican dignitaries make entrusted investments in a legally permissible manner, and the evidence we have not only has no legal significance, but also cannot be inferred from this that the person named Ronald Lee has political transactions with Republican dignitaries" Wesley hesitated a little and said, "In addition, can you monitor the trading of 'Lishi Group' stocks?" ”

"It's hard to monitor completely, at best you can grasp the volume of the stock"

"Go ahead and pay close attention to the trading of 'Lishi Group' stocks"

"It's better to have a presidential mandate," Jackson reminded the director, "we're an intelligence agency, not a financial regulator, not a judiciary, and if we don't have presidential authorization, I'm afraid we're ......."

"I know this," Wesley nodded, "You conduct a peripheral investigation first, and then investigate further when I get the authorization"

After waiting for the assistant to go out, Wesley pondered for a moment

Half an hour later, he left the CIA headquarters in a helicopter and flew to the White House

After listening to Wesley's report, Jappel's face immediately changed

The president's change in expression told the CIA director that his guess was not wrong After Ji Youguo left New York, Japel asked Wesley to arrange for personnel to monitor the banquet for Ji Youguo's Yanbo; When reporting on the Republic's arms sales to Argentina, the president specifically asked about Yanbo, and the president must have been suspicious of Yanbo, could it be that Yanbo secretly cooperated with the Republican Party to bring down the president with the help of the news media?

Wesley didn't dare to speculate, because he felt that the relationship behind it was too amazing

"So, the Republican Party has a secret relationship with Yanbo?"

"It's not certain yet," Wesley said the truth, "as far as we know now, 'Huashi' has nothing to do with Yanbo, and there is no need for Yanbo to set up a new investment company outside of the 'Lishi Group'"

"If Yanbo cooperates with the Republican Party, will he risk the 'Lishi Group'?"

"This ......"

"I know that your analysis is very objective, maybe I am overminded, after all, the shares of the 'Shi Group' circulating in the market are worth hundreds of billions of US dollars, and Yanbo is only the largest shareholder of the group, and 'Huashi' can buy the shares of the 'Lishi Group' through other channels" Japel changed his words and said, "If my guess is not wrong, Yanbo buys Republican Party members through 'Huashi', and he provides more than just money."

"You mean......" Wesley was secretly surprised, "the question is, how can Yanbo be a businessman, how can he ......"

"There is nothing impossible, otherwise Ji Youguo would not refuse my invitation to attend the banquet held for him by Yan Bo"

Hearing this, Wesley was even more shocked

Although the president did not say it explicitly, the meaning was very clear, Yan Bo cooperated with the Chinese intelligence department, and transferred the information provided by the Chinese intelligence department to the Republican Party, so as to bring down the president and make a bad mess After the Democratic Party and the Republican Party came to power, they will inevitably continue to cooperate with Yan Bo, that is, cooperate with the Chinese intelligence department

This is not an ordinary economic or political issue, but an issue that has a bearing on the fundamental interests of the United States

Seeing Wesley's sudden realization, Japel smiled coldly and said: "You are not serving me, but serving the United States In any case, the relationship between Yanbo and important Republican Party members must be investigated"

Wesley came back to his senses and quickly said, "To continue investigating, I need a higher level of authorization."

Japel hesitated a little and said, "You mean written authorization?" ”

"Not just written authorization, but the highest level of authorization to obtain relevant information from other federal government agencies"

At this point, Japel hesitated a little

"Your Excellency, if your guess is not wrong, it is related to the fundamental interests of the United States, if we can find out the truth, I believe that the rumors from the outside world will soon be dissipated."

Japel gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "I give you the highest level of authorization, you must find out the truth"

"I'll do everything I can to investigate"

After receiving written authorization from the president, Wesley hurriedly left the White House

Japeel could not calm down, because he knew that Wesley was an "iron-faced" intelligence officer with no political leanings and was dedicated to serving the national interest, and he was even more worried that the "dutiful" CIA director would investigate too deeply and find out the truth that should not be found

For the president, who is trying to turn the tide, the situation is spiraling out of his control

Damn it*
