Chapter 4 Secret Joints
After three rounds of consultations at the highest level, the five permanent members of the Security Council reached an agreement......
The number of non-permanent members of the Security Council will be increased from 10 to 16, including four seats each in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and two seats in Europe and other regions. The term of office of the non-permanent members is two years, with half of each year being replaced; two each in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and one "special seat" in Europe and one for each region that can be re-elected to both sectors; Without being vetoed by the permanent members, the criteria for the adoption of Security Council resolutions have been raised from nine to 12 votes.
The result of the reform of the Security Council is the result of the game of great powers.
As a result of this reform, the members of the Council have been divided into three tiers. At the top of the list are still the five nuclear powers recognized by the world, and at the second rate are the eight regional powers that are eligible for re-election to both worlds, and then the eight ordinary countries as a foil.
On October 27, after a separate meeting with US President Japbel, Ji Youguo boarded a special plane.
According to the plan, the head of state of the republic will visit Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan and Russia before returning to Beijing, before returning to Beijing.
After seeing off Ji Youguo at the airport, Lin Yanbo did not return to the "Sanjian Manor".
The convoy departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport and traveled west along the Coastal Highway to New Jersey via the Verrazano-Naros Strait Bridge and the Staten Island Expressway to Newark International Airport. After boarding the private jet, which was already ready to take off, Lin Yanbo asked all the entourage to return to New York.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane left the airport and flew towards Los Angeles, which is located on the west coast of the United States.
Reaching a cruising altitude of 11,000 meters, the plane switched to horizontal flight, and the pilot and co-pilot of the aircraft came to the cabin. They are none other than Pan Yunsheng, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Li Cunxun, the number one agent of the Military Intelligence Agency.
After introducing each other, Pan Yunsheng took out a cigarette, and Lin Yanbo personally poured a glass of wine for the two.
"Mr. Lin's situation. The FΓΌhrer probably mentioned it to me. "When Pan Yunsheng lit a cigarette. Li Cunxun turned on the air conditioning in the cabin to the maximum setting. "Actually. We have also been following Mr. Lin for a long time. I just couldn't meet Mr. Lin. β
"I've also heard of Director Pan's name for a long time. It's better to meet than to be famous. β
"Mr. Lin is polite. I am one year younger than Mr. Lin. Just call me Xiao Pan. Pan Yunsheng smiled faintly. Before getting down to business. We need to understand in more detail the causes and consequences of Mr. Lin's past cooperation with the CIA. If there is any offense or offense. I also hope that Mr. Lin Haihan. β
"No problem. Actually, I'm half an intelligence officer. β
Pan Yunsheng nodded. Wait for Lin Yanbo to continue. Li Cunxun also lit a cigarette at this time.
Lin Yanbo took out a cigar. Slowly and methodically point to the back. "When I was still studying at Columbia University," he said. The CIA approached me. It should be in 1980. As I guessed later. The CIA wanted to develop me into a spy agent. And sent back to China. Of course. I didn't say yes. After graduation. The CIA found me again. Let me travel to Pakistan. Shipped CIA-supplied Stinger missiles to Afghanistan as temporary employees. At that time, my father was seriously ill. Several younger siblings are studying. The conditions at home are very difficult. I didn't refuse. Since then, we have been working with the CIA. Of course. I'm just a temporary employee. There was no oath of allegiance. Later things. You should know, right? β
Pan Yunsheng and Li Cunxun both smiled reluctantly and did not say anything.
"Actually, I was conflicted at the time." Lin Yanbo sighed and said, "Now that I think about it, I regret it, and one mistake will become a thousand years of hatred!" β
"Mr. Lin, we all know that you have never pledged allegiance to the CIA." Pan Yunsheng was also very emotional.
Lin Yanbo nodded and said, "This is my bottom line, no matter what, I will not be loyal to a country that killed my grandfather!" β
"So, what about later?" Li Cunxun pulled the topic back.
"After the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war, I went to Iran under a pseudonym, first, to investigate the integrity of the Iranian army's American weapons and equipment, and second, to secretly contact pro-American people in Iran. Because I am not a professional espionage, I didn't achieve much. Then the hostage crisis broke out, and I was in charge of supplying weapons parts to Iran as an intermediary, withholding a sum of money from the Iranian government to the CIA, about $8 million. Lin Yanbo picked up the wine glass and dried it in one go. After the Iran-Contra scandal came to light, I returned to the United States. The situation was chaotic and the CIA did not know that the Iranian government had paid the money. With this funding, as well as the $2 million I had saved up in previous years, I created the 'Lishi Investment Company'. β
"And then?" Li Cunxun extinguished the cigarette butt, "Has the CIA contacted you?" β
Lin Yanbo shook his head and said: "I am a direct participant in the 'Iran-Contra incident', and I am not a regular employee of the CIA, so the CIA is merciful if it does not get rid of me, how can it continue to keep in touch with me?" However, I was approached by a CIA agent named Palmer. Later, he became the C.I.A.'s deputy director of operations, only to suddenly disappear more than three months ago. β
Pan Yunsheng and Li Cunxun's faces immediately changed.
"You know this?"
After a little hesitation, Pan Yunsheng said, "I won't tell you, Palmer is in our hands." β
"What!?" Lin Yanbo immediately showed a look of surprise.
"He didn't tell us anything about you." Pan Yunsheng smiled coldly, "It seems that I have to work hard after I go back and let him explain everything he knows." β
"Actually, he doesn't represent the CIA, but himself."
"What do you mean?" Li Cunxun lit another cigarette.
"During the Iran-Iraq war, Palmer was active in Iraq and was responsible for helping Iraq gather intelligence. As far as I suspect, he was also involved in the Iran-Contra affair and knew that I had withheld procurement funds from the Iranian government. β
"He's going to blackmail you?"
Lin Yanbo smiled bitterly and said, "It's not about coercion. When he approached me, he offered to work with me and he would use the CIA's intelligence network to gather business intelligence, and I would be responsible for turning business intelligence into real-world benefits, and then sharing it with him. Later, he also used my channel to get rid of several competitors. β
Pan Yunsheng and Li Cunxun glanced at each other, and then laughed.
"Actually, there's no way around it." Lin Yanbo sighed and said, "If I didn't cooperate with him, I would have been finished a long time ago." Besides, without the resources provided by Palmer, I would not have been able to grow Lishi Investments to its current size in less than 30 years. β
"Mr. Lin, you can rest assured now that Palmer will never pose a threat to you again."
"So, I have to thank you."
All three laughed, but they all laughed a little awkwardly.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Pan Yunsheng pulled the topic back, "We fully believe in Mr. Lin's pure loyalty, but we can't underestimate the troubles and dangers we may encounter. Judging from the information we have now, the CIA's monitoring of Mr. Lin is not very strict, but the possibility of placing agents around Mr. Lin cannot be ruled out. Mr. Lin had close contact with Mr. Palmer, and after Palmer's disappearance, the CIA will certainly conduct a full investigation that may pose a threat to Mr. Lamour. A few days ago, Mr. Lin had a few more hours of conversation with the FΓΌhrer, and the CIA will be even more vigilant. β
"It's not a big problem to transfer people, and if Mr. Lin wants to return to China, we can provide a safe channel at any time." Li Cunxun picked up his wine glass, "The key is how to deal with Mr. Lin's assets in the United States." β
"It can't be delayed for too long." Pan Yunsheng also raised his glass, "If Mr. Lin is determined to return to China, not only can we not rule out the possibility that the CIA will take three indiscriminate measures to deal with Mr. Lin and Mr. Lin's family, but we must also be vigilant to prevent accidents." β
Li Cunxun nodded slightly. "I don't have enough people on my side, so I need a few powerful characters."
"That's no problem, I'll send you a few guys who kill people without blinking an eye."
"You ......," Lin Yanbo was shocked when he heard it, "I just want to return to the motherland safely with my family, and it doesn't matter if I have assets or not." β
"Mr. Lin, you think things are simple." Pan Yunsheng drained the wine in the glass in one gulp. "Mr. Lin is a well-known person, your assets are obtained through legal channels, unless the CIA is willing to make a fool of himself, otherwise the US government does not have any power to seize your assets. We are worried that the CIA will use three indiscriminate methods to get rid of Mr. Lin and Mr. Lin's immediate family, and take away half of Mr. Lin's life's work in a shady way, so as to intimidate those patriotic overseas Chinese who want to return to China for development like Mr. Lin. β
"You mean ......"
"We're just speculating, and there's not enough evidence yet." Li Cunxun also killed the wine. "However, the safety of Mr. Lin and Mr. Lin's family must come first. Just in case, in addition to taking the necessary safety precautions, we also have to prepare for the worst. β
"Xiao Li, you have full authority to handle the matter here, and I will send you enough people as soon as possible." Pan Yunsheng quickly made a decision, and said to Lin Yanbo, "In order not to arouse the suspicion of the CIA, we will make your chief secretary resign within a few days, and Li Cunxun will come to apply for the job at that time." In addition, we will use the security company to send a few more strong bodyguards to Mr. Lin. β
Lin Yanbo nodded and said, "I only have one daughter, no matter what, I have to ensure her safety." β
"You can rest assured that we will not let Ling Qianjin be threatened in any way."
When the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, the three of them discussed the details. After sending Lin Yanbo away, Pan Yunsheng and Li Cunxun resumed their cover identities.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin drove out of the airport to his ancestral home in Chinatown.
Pan Yunsheng and Li Cunxun also left the airport separately and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
At this time, CIA Director Wesley walked into the Oval Office of the White House.
