Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Persuasion

Blood Fox looked at the contemplative Mountain Eagle and frowned, "What are you thinking about?"

Mountain Eagle glanced at Marta, who was distracted from her barbecue, and chuckled, shaking his head, "I’m thinking, this line of work doesn’t seem too difficult.

Sometimes I really don’t understand, with all the rich resources at your disposal, why can’t you make money?

Is it because Marta takes up too much of your effort?"

Mountain Eagle deliberately spoke these words in Russian, making Marta, who had been eavesdropping, bare her teeth angrily at him before exclaiming, "I caught a mercenary with my own hands yesterday..."

Continuing, Marta glanced at the snoring Officer Tessa and wrinkled her nose, "Officer Tessa is very capable, but I’m not bad either.

Tessa said she would apply for a medal for me, and once I become an excellent policewoman, you guys won’t be able to reject my demands.

I don’t want to go to college..."

Mountain Eagle, with a keen sense of insight, noticed that Marta wasn’t talking about being a mercenary but had made ’not going to college’ her short-term goal. He said to the still clueless Blood Fox with a smile, "You guys might have experience and be formidable, but some things, you’re really not good at!"

Blood Fox didn’t get upset and replied with a laugh, "What do you expect from two old men who together are nearly 120 years old?

Mi Lu got a back injury climbing a tree and has been lying down ever since.

If it hadn’t been for Luo Yang yesterday, I might have gotten injured too."

Blood Fox glanced at Marta, who had burned the beef, and then asked Mountain Eagle, "What exactly do you mean?"

Mountain Eagle saw that Blood Fox looked impatient and hesitated before saying, "Mi Lu told me yesterday that you took on a big job worth 5 million..."

Blood Fox was stunned and scoffed, "That was a job introduced by an old friend, what does it have to do with you?"

Mountain Eagle sneered, "You say you’re old, can you really handle a big job worth 5 million?

I just want to tell you that if you just want to make money, there are better ways to do it.

Not only are they lawful, but they can also bring in more benefits..."

Blood Fox frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "I mean, if it’s just about making money, I might have a better way.

This is what you taught me, ’create the demand’!"

Blood Fox was confused and a little impatient, "What exactly are you getting at?"

Mountain Eagle thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "I fished out Sabaya, the former head of the Abu Sayyaf Group, from the CIA’s black site yesterday...

Although the so-called wealth on him is undoubtedly ’poison’, utilizing him could effectively dismantle the Abu Sayyaf Group.

Their base is in the Philippines, but their activities span Southeast Asia, and there are many countries and organizations that hate them.

Do you think if we come up with a plan, those countries and organizations would be willing to pay?"

After hearing this, Blood Fox took a deep breath in disbelief, "You want to use Sabaya to strike at the Abu Sayyaf Group and then ask the countries of Southeast Asia for money?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head, "No, it’s about presenting a plan that would make these countries and organizations in Southeast Asia pay up, and I would only consider taking action if they pay enough.

Even if the countries in Southeast Asia don’t have much money, do you think MI6 or the CIA would be willing to pay a large sum for this?"

As though meeting Mountain Eagle for the first time, Blood Fox looked at this tall young man before him with an odd expression...

"How on earth does your brain work?"

Mountain Eagle ignored Blood Fox’s strange gaze and said, "Don’t worry about how my brain works, just tell me if it’s possible, alright?"

After some thought, Blood Fox said, "It depends on what kind of things the terrorists being pursued by MI6 and the CIA have in their hands.

But looking at the current situation, the prospects are very good!"

Mountain Eagle, touching his temple, said earnestly, "I only have a rough idea at the moment, and further details need to be refined, I need someone familiar with the habits of the intelligence departments to remind me on the side..."

He then looked at the pondering Blood Fox and said seriously, "You are my mentor, I need your cooperation and help. No matter how much money we make, you’ll have your share...

And as for how you want to use that money, I have no objections."

Blood Fox suddenly grasped the idea; he looked at Mountain Eagle with sudden realization, shook his head, and said, "You don’t want me to go to Russia?

Why beat around the bush, you could have just told me straight up..."

Mountain Eagle took a sip of beer, shook his head, and said, "What authority do I have to tell you what to do?

I’m just letting you know that if you just want to make money, there are ways!"

Continuing, Mountain Eagle stroked his chin and said earnestly, "I’m not yet familiar with this industry, but just now I came up with many things and suddenly realized that this field has a lot of opportunities."

As long as you have sufficient capabilities, you actually don’t need to risk your life on adventures, or, in other words, even without doing things that exceed your capabilities, you still have the opportunity to earn big money.

Because demand is the core determinant of value, as long as we can grasp the demand, we can earn several times more profit on the same tasks."

Blood Fox blinked, somewhat displeased, and said: "How do you know that I would undertake tasks beyond my capabilities?"

Mountain Eagle pointed to Marta, saying: "This kid may not be sharp, but even she knows that you and Mi Lu cannot hold out for much longer.

Mi Lu is such a tough person, yet last night he actually took the initiative to tell me about the preparations for your trip to Russia, indicating that he is not very optimistic about your operation this time.

Old buddy, you saved my life at the Mekong River, I’m someone who heavily values loyalty, how could I just watch as you and Mi Lu, together nearly 120 years old, run off to Russia to meet your deaths?"

Blood Fox paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and patted Mountain Eagle’s shoulder, shaking his head and saying: "Mountain Eagle, you are much more promising than I imagined...

However, there are some things you don’t understand, some people I can’t refuse, and certain things I must do."

As Blood Fox looked at Mountain Eagle frowning, he gestured with his hand and said, "There are some things Mi Lu doesn’t know about. This time, my trip is not just about earning a commission for obtaining political asylum for Snowden; more importantly, I owe someone a favor.

I don’t know how many years I have left to live, and before I die, I have to repay everything I owe!"

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle thought for a while then said, "Can I know the inside story?

A commission of 5 million US dollars!

Based on what you told me before and the content I saw on the website of the International Intermediary Company, this clearly exceeds your capabilities."

Blood Fox grabbed a bottle of beer, sat down on a chair, and lost himself while looking at the distant blue sky and white clouds. Several minutes later, he downed the beer in one gulp, then said: "She is an old acquaintance of mine, now the assistant to the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia..."

Mountain Eagle was startled, then incredulously pinched the bridge of his nose, focusing his thoughts...

He had spent a few years in Russia and had made a career leap there, so he had a certain understanding of the political ins and outs of Russia.

’Secretary’s assistant’ might sound unimpressive, but in fact, anyone with an understanding of Russian politics knows that the ’Secretary of the Security Council’ plays a crucial role; hence, their assistant is definitely not a minor figure.

The Secretary of the Security Council of Russia effectively has a role similar to the ancient prime minister of Hua Country, being one of Boss Pu’s closest confidantes, and could even be considered as someone who directly shares Boss Pu’s power!

One of the most important duties of the Secretary of the Security Council is to support the President, which includes...

Providing all necessary conditions for the President of the Russian Federation to exercise the powers of national security!

At the same time, advising the President on national security, preventing and eliminating emergencies, implementing a state of emergency and martial law, and more!

Just these responsibilities indicate that the position holds an absolute ruling power over the internal security agencies of Russia!

Not to mention that the Secretary of the Security Council also participates in the formulation and supervision of the national security policy, coordinates the security policies of the federal subjects, evaluates their implementation...

And also manages intelligence analysis, participates in international cooperation, and most critically, the Secretary has the right to review federal legislative documents and oversee finances.

These roles signify that the Secretary of the Security Council is a pivotal figure in Russia; due to the country’s circumstances, the person in this position must be someone trusted by Boss Pu, even to the extent where they can be seen as Boss Pu’s shadow or spokesperson.

The Secretary of the Security Council is such a lofty presence that even Mountain Eagle feels is unattainable, and the power along with the associated rights held by the Secretary’s assistant equally amazes Mountain Eagle.

Looking at Blood Fox, whose eyes were filled with reminiscence, Mountain Eagle hesitated for a moment, then said: "To my knowledge, the current Secretary of the Security Council of Russia is Nikola Patrushev, not only is he Boss Pu’s KGB colleague, but also his close friend.

This old man’s two sons, one is the Minister of Agriculture, the other a big tycoon of an oil company.

Who’s his assistant?

From the sound of your voice, it also seems to be a woman..."

Blood Fox nodded slightly and said: "Her name is Erin, my first wife...

We divorced before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and she later remarried to a KGB official named Shkunov.

After the Soviet Union disintegrated, the KGB was divided, and many people working on the secret front in Europe and America were abandoned.

It was Erin who saved me after my third marriage failed, helping me get back on my feet.

Now she is Old Patrushev’s assistant, mainly in charge of supervising the operations of the Intelligence Bureau of the Russian troops."

Mountain Eagle looked at the old fellow with a face full of nostalgia and curiously said: "Your ex-wife wants you to help Snowden seek asylum in Russia?

That’s not quite right; according to what you’ve said, she could easily add Snowden to the political asylum list.

This year, with the Crimea annexation issue, Russia and Europe and America have had a big fallout, Boss Pu shouldn’t have too many reservations."

While saying this, Mountain Eagle rubbed his slightly swollen temples and said, "What exactly is going on?"

Blood Fox pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "That Snowden holds a ’treasure’ in his hands, and he himself knows its value, so he wouldn’t casually hand over what he possesses...

Before Snowden is guaranteed basic security, Russia can’t make direct contact with him, as that would trigger the United States’ nerves, making them determined to kill him at all costs."

As he spoke, Blood Fox looked at Mountain Eagle, who seemed to have grasped something, and smiled, saying: "It seems that you’re beginning to understand a bit..."
