Chapter 2246: See you frankly

"Sorry, the only thing I am interested in is taking a hot bath, lying in the hot water, and then thinking about nothing, doing nothing. I think, for someone who has been in the jungle for a few days in cold rain and is in the mud The people rolling in, this idea is not an accident." Lin Rui shook his head, "Since here, I just took a hasty shower, and then I had to be patient and put on a suit to attend General Logan's banquet."
Frank smiled, "If so, I would have a nice place. After the reception, we might be able to talk there."
"It seems that you really want to talk." Lin Rui frowned.
"Want very much, and most of the time in that place, people can meet frankly." Frank shrugged.
It wasn't until the reception was over that Lin Rui and Frank arrived at the place he was talking about, and they knew that it was a Turkish bath. When it comes to Turkish bath, one cannot fail to mention its history. Almost since the ancient Roman era, Turkish people have begun to wash. This kind of bathroom has been passed down since the ancient Roman era, and it occupies an important position in local culture and daily life. The gorgeous decorations and gilded taps make it hard to imagine that this is a war-torn country in Africa.
After entering the bathroom, some people took a rich food box containing dried fruits such as lamb skewers, kidneys, yogurt, hazelnuts and so on. After taking a shower, new and old friends get together to chat while eating and drinking. This bathroom party often lasts for several hours. Of course, this is just a paradise for the powerful, and it is impossible for ordinary Anmor people to enter.
"Good place. As expected, you can meet frankly." Lin Rui sat down around a bath towel and joked.
"This is a good place to talk. The environment is good and there are no outsiders. No matter what you say here, no one will hear." Frank looked at Lin Rui and seemed a little surprised at the multiple scars on his body.
"It's all occupational diseases." Lin Rui looked at his scars and mocked. "Now I can tell, what is your entrusted task and who is the employer? Is it the CIA or the U.S. military?"
Frank shrugged. "Not really."
"No?" Lin Rui frowned, "So, it was not Mr. K's idea that you came to me?"
"No." Frank said slowly, "Actually, I am not only a CIA agent, but also a Russian."
"Double agent?" Lin Rui was a little surprised, but he shrugged immediately. "Whatever, it's none of my business."
"Intelligence personnel is a very special profession. To a certain extent, it is difficult to distinguish camps. It is like this world. It is never black and white. So we are not living in black and white photos, this world is so colorful. Colorful." Frank smiled, "The reason why I am so straightforward to expose the side that I should hide most is because Black Panther Goulei advised me not to hide the slightest from you. Especially when I ask you. "
"So, what do you want us to do?" Lin Rui frowned.
Frank's expression was a bit stern, "This commission is very concealed, but it is also quite important. The key is that Russia is not convenient to get involved, so we need some professional talents to complete it. For this, Colonel Fulong specially recommended me. you guys."
"Colonel Fulong, is the fat guy from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Lin Rui nodded and said, "How is he doing?"
"He's exquisite now, and he's so mixed up." Frank smiled lightly, "It seems that he has done a few beautiful tasks thanks to your blessings, which is quite appreciated by the above."
Lin Rui shrugged, sitting by the pool and letting the hot water shower herself from head to toe.
Frank whispered, "Let's get to the point. On June 5, in Washington, the United States Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Shannon hosted a ceremony to welcome Montenegro to formally join the NATO. NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg attended. This is the cause of this mission.
NATO's eastward expansion is pressing hard every step of the way. Every time Russia has a series of countermeasures such as increasing troops to the west, basically none of them can stop it. With the exception of Belarus and Ukraine, which was trapped in the civil war, looking west of Russia, Europe is now almost entirely NATO. NATO and Russia have been enemies for many years. For a long time, the two sides have lacked military mutual trust. However, with the changes in European politics and the intensification of terrorism, some NATO member states have gone out of the dead end of sanctions against Russia and have begun to try to resume dialogue with Russia.
This incident undoubtedly made Russia very uncomfortable. However, in view of the close ties in economy, trade and counter-terrorism, Russia and NATO will not be broken in the fight, and the two sides will continue to move forward in confrontation and cooperation. Therefore, this kind of confrontation cannot be conducted on the bright side. But there are some things we must do. "
Lin Rui looked at him and said, "Are these related to the tasks to be given to us?"
"Very big relationship." Frank nodded. "To be honest, the Republic of Montenegro only maintains a small army, with only about 2,000 active soldiers. The Air Force does not have fixed-wing aircraft, and the Army has only one battalion-level unit. The only thing worth mentioning is that the Navy has two A light frigate with a full load and displacement of about 1,500 tons. Their military power is simply not worth mentioning. But in reality, it is not. Once Montenegro officially enters the treaty, all the countries along the Adriatic Sea will be included in the NATO bag."
"So, what can you do? This is a foregone conclusion, can you stop it?" Lin Rui shrugged.
"Of course it is too late to stop, even if it is too late, it cannot be stopped. Western economic sanctions have made Russia's power worse. But our intelligence services are still sharp. We learned that NATO has secretly established a base in the central and northern Montenegro. And there is a certain amount of garrison. This thing has obviously started for a long time. But the Russians didn’t realize until recently. They believe that this base contains very large military secrets. It includes all secret NATO base intelligence in Europe. Slowly and honestly.
"How is this possible? A small country like Montenegro, which has recently joined NATO, why can they hide important NATO secrets in one of their new bases?" Lin Rui shook his head. "Even if there is such classified information as you mentioned, it should be at the NATO headquarters in Brussels."
"Your judgment is reasonable, but not comprehensive enough. We believe that NATO is currently conducting an important military exercise, and as a new member, Montenegro is also participating. Between NATO bases in Europe, a satellite-based network has been established. Rapid response system. Used in joint operations, it can complete rapid coordination and deploy military operations at the fastest speed. Each base is under the direct command of NATO headquarters to maximize effectiveness." Frank whispered.
"So, what does the Russian want?" Lin Rui raised his eyes.
