Chapter 1510: The missing link

The "evidence" provided by Director Casey is obviously insufficient. In fact, the "evidence" he stated is not so much "substantial evidence" as "a most likely reasonable inference". But today, at this moment, this Everyone in the room involuntarily chose to agree with this reasoningEric. Tan is the one who strung up all these events, the real master behind the scenes!
Even if he is not the only core member of the so-called "hawk organization" that they have speculated to exist, he must be the most important one in this organization!
This is really a sensational inference!
Think about it, that Eric. Tan, when he first arrived in the United States and entered Stanford University, he was just an 18-year-old young man. He was 18 years old. For human creatures, most people lived ignorantly at his age. , But this person, he can actually use the world as the game, and manipulate so many conceited and outstanding top figures like chess pieces!
Such a person is really terrible!
"I have one last question."
Brent. After a moment of silence, Scowcroft spoke again: "We all know that Eric Tan has not left the U.S. for more than a year. The year before, he mainly completed his Ph.D. thesis. In view of the exit control, it can be said that his every move is under our noses. Then Chief Casey, how should we explain what happened in Uklan? Even if your reasoning is the fact, we must also do it. It’s clear how he communicated with so many people and convinced them to participate in his actions—whether Crown Prince Sheikh or Leo Vanta, including the old Henry, Stephen Wayne, and Philip Abramo, etc. I am afraid that these people are not so easy to be persuaded. They are all smart people. They must know the possible consequences of participating in these things. They even need to work with the U.S. government and Eric ﹒Choose between Tan, Director Casey, I think this choice is not easy for anyone to make? Or we can put it another way, Eric Tan, not only need to persuade them, but also A huge price needs to be paid. Well, we all know that Eric has a lot of money, but I guess there must be some conditions that are not just money, and these conditions should also be promised by Eric personally to win the trust, then Casey Chief, during your monitoring of him for so long, did you find any signs of action in this regard?"
"This..." Casey was speechless.
Indeed, he said to Eric. Tan’s residence, himself, and several key personnel around him have all adopted 24-hour non-stop monitoring measures. However, in the recent period, despite the changes in Wukelan, apart from Vivian’s side, there is one more source. Unidentified young female bodyguards, but he has not found any suspicious clues from these surveillance.
And this is probably one of the reasons why he was a little careless.
Brent understood.
In fact, he himself was almost convinced by Casey’s reasoning, but he always felt that he wanted to put Eric. Tan and these incidents are all strung together, but there is still a lack of a key link-how Eric was able to evade the CIA's monitoring measures and convince so many collaborators under de facto house arrest. , Planned and directed a series of actions in Wu Kelan behind the scenes!
Before this link was completed, any further measures taken against Eric seemed a bit reckless, after all, this person's influence was too great.
"Actually, we have the easiest way to figure this out." Director Casey said in a deep voice. He obviously also knew what Brent's question meant, which embarrassed him a bit-he made a reasonable , The most probable reasoning, also provided a lot of circumstantial evidence, but unfortunately, in the most critical link, the chain of evidence was missing, and these deficiencies may be due to errors in the work of the organization he leads or Caused by omission!
A person who is closely monitored by the CIA has the ability to conduct a large number of external communications. The implementer of the monitoring does not know anything. No matter what method or channel he passes through, this is undoubtedly a mockery of the CIA's monitoring capabilities!
"Are you going to interrogate Eric?" Brent obviously understands what the method Chief Casey is talking about. He also believes that no one can withstand the torture of the CIA and the torture of Veritaserum-but in that case, It also announced that with Eric. Tan's complete rupture will cause deep harm to Huami relations.
"As I said before, Eric Tan, he is the enemy, the enemy of our country, even if what he did has not yet materially harmed our country, but I believe he is trying to achieve this We are working hard for our goal, and we can no longer let this situation develop. We must take action while we still have the initiative!"
Casey said hard, and at the same time set his sights on the final decision maker.
"I still suggest that before we take further measures, we must have more and more sufficient evidence, because the target we are now targeting is Eric Tan, a person who is extremely sensitive to many countries. And improper handling of him will make us very passive diplomatically." Brent. Scowcroft said: "Or maybe we can take a gentler approach to this matter, this person."
"How can diplomacy be passive again?" William. Joseph. Casey sneered: "Brent, in less than 45 days, President Bush will leave the White House, and you will also step down as a security assistant. As for me, it is impossible to continue to serve as the director of the CIA. I am passively diplomatic. , It will be Mr. Clayton’s problem. It has nothing to do with us or everyone in this house."
"I'm afraid that using Eric's personal safety in exchange for the missing gold is your real goal?" Brent thought to himself, but this matter cannot be discussed on the table, even if he knows it. It’s impossible for Mr. Mao to speak out on this occasion, so he turned his attention to the final decision-maker and said:
I still think that we should send someone to negotiate with Eric officially and frankly. Maybe we both An acceptable understanding can be reached in time, and the consequences of using extreme measures may be very serious, and once implemented, it will never be restored."
Until this time, George. Bush still remained silent.
He understands the reason why Casey is angry and strongly demands extreme actions. In fact, he is also angry now.
Leo. Vantaa, who was personally selected by President Reagan, formulated and implemented a financial attack plan against former Soviet Russia. Once this plan succeeds, who will be the biggest beneficiaries? The name of the company he used to operate this plan says it all-"New Republic Financial Group"!
But this man, now he has rebelled. He has betrayed President Reagan's trust in him, betrayed himself, betrayed the Republican Party, and betrayed the vow he made at the beginning!
He actually teamed up with a Chinese man and blatantly stole the trophies. He achieved great success in the plan and was about to start harvesting the fruits of victory on the eve!
The gold is only a small part of the spoils, so what's next? Who will fall into the former Soviet Union's assets, which can only be calculated in trillions of dollars?
No, we can never tolerate all this development!
George Bush clenched his fists, intending to make his own ruling-but at this moment, the door of the conference room was opened, and the White House Chief of Staff Sununu and the Director of the "CIS" Department of Affairs Dr. Rice hurriedly When they walked in, the faces of both of them were full of anxiety.
"Mr. President, emergency situation." Sununu said, ignoring the other people in this small secret meeting that was being held, and handed a piece of information to Bush's hand and said: "We are in trouble, big trouble. "
