From arms dealer to king of war

Eric Bent actually doesn't have much to do against Qiao Jia.

The "not greedy enough" and "cautious" shown by Qiao Jia made Eric Bent very helpless.

Do Qiao Jia and his PB really matter?

In terms of capabilities and scale, not at all!

But Choga holds a drug channel that can compromise the 'Ndrangheta, and he himself is an important target of the 'Ndrangheta.

It is of course impossible to betray Choga to negotiate with the 'Ndrangheta. Any reasonable person knows that it will encourage the greed of the 'Ndrangheta.

But if it comes to the last minute and unthinkable circumstances arise, Eric Bent will use an 'unrejectable price' to make Joga compromise and prompt both parties to negotiate.

This is of course a last resort, but in this situation, Eric Bent and the big guys behind him really don't have many choices.

Among the things the "Shadow Messenger" stole from the FBI, the most important thing was a file containing tens of thousands of emails.

That was something that the big shot behind him, who was in the midst of the party's campaign, worked hard to suppress the FBI and prevent them from releasing it.

That big shot is in a critical period. Whether it's the 'Shadow Messenger' harassing him with those emails, or the FBI releasing the contents of the missing items under pressure from the outside world, things will become extremely bad.

So Eric Bent parachuted in with the title of consultant to the Department of Security, trying to bypass the FBI as the main culprit and deal with the problem on his own, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Department of Justice.

He needs someone to help him solve the 'shadow messenger', but using any manpower outside the Ministry of Justice system will cause backlash, and using manpower within the system is more likely to cause trouble.

You must know that those emails were only stolen, not deleted, and the FBI still has them.

It's just that the document is now separately encrypted and stored in a highly confidential place.

Eric Bent seems to be strong, but in fact he is the person who was sent to face the cold shoulder of the Ministry of Justice. At the same time, he tried his best to mediate relationships among multiple parties, handled the matter in a low-key manner, and tried his best to prevent the political opponents of the big shot from knowing the inside story.

He can mobilize the resources of the Security Department, but the reality is that he has no trustworthy operators. It is basically impossible to deploy private operators at such a tense moment for the FBI.

Because very few people know the contents of the FBI’s lost documents this time, the senior officials of the Department of Justice and the head of the FBI are politicians. They can negotiate and are willing to negotiate, because the big shot and his allies can influence the Department of Justice, FBI, and DEA Wait for the budgets of all departments.

But once Eric Bent's behavior beyond his authority angers the backbone of the FBI, things can easily get out of control.

If an agent with too much pride questions his behavior and turns around to verify it, the matter will be out of control.

Joga is almost Eric Bent’s only choice, because he is really good at fighting, and he has a deep hatred for the Glory, so he is a bait to attract the ‘Shadow Messenger’.

The most important thing is that Joga himself is a collaborator of the DEA. He is also a collaborator of the FBI in the case against the 'Ndrangheta, and he seems to be very popular with the Department of Justice.

To the FBI, Qiao Jia is a not-so-honest 'one of our own'.

Moreover, P·B is a private contracting company, and its nature and status determine that Eric Bent is sure to control it.

As long as Joja is willing to cooperate, directly kill the 'Shadow Messenger', and at the same time destroy those documents to prevent FBI agents from handling them, then the matter can be resolved in a low-key manner.

Qiao Jia has a criminal record in this matter, and his violent methods are exactly what Eric Bent needs now.

The conditions Eric Bent just put forward were not a joke, he can indeed do it, and there is no problem even if Joga wants more.

Because that big shot involves too many interests, if something goes wrong with him, it will definitely lead to a bloody storm in the political arena, and the consequences are hard to predict.

Compared to that, what are the military contracting companies that make a living out of the Pentagon?

Capitalist society is about capital, and my capital is greater than yours! ! !

Faced with the two conditions of ‘legality’ and ‘exemption’ proposed by Qiao Jia, which had contradictory connotations, Eric Bent nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Looking at the puzzled expression on Qiao Jia's face, Eric Bent said solemnly: "I can do everything I promised, but I also hope that you can fulfill the agreement between us.

No curiosity, no questions, no pursuit..."

Qiao Jia resisted the urge to punch this guy and said unhappily: "We haven't signed the fucking contract yet. You didn't even tell me what you asked me to do, so you just want me to be deaf and blind. Isn't it a little too early? "

Eric Bent was very uncomfortable with Qiao Jia's rudeness. After a moment of silence, he said: "I want to kill the 'Shadow Messenger' alone and get back what the FBI lost."

Qiao Jia couldn't help but ask at this time, "What did the FBI lose?"

As he spoke, he looked at Eric Bent's wary eyes, waved his hand and said: "OK, I won't ask, but I want to know, if that thing was downloaded from the Internet, then 'Shadow Messenger' might make many copies. , and have even sent it to others..."

Eric Bent shook his head and said: "It's impossible, they used Cooper's authority to download those things, but according to the FBI's confidential document management regulations.

TS orange (top secret) files are automatically encrypted after being downloaded. If they are spread on a network outside the FBI, they will be immediately locked and reverse traced.

If the other party wants to use that document, he needs to take the document out of the United States, and it will take a long time to find a computer expert to open it.

We won't give him the chance and time! ! "

As he spoke, Eric Bent looked at the stunned Joga and said in a deep voice: "At present, we have obtained information from the informant that the 'Shadow Messenger' has established a line with Mexican drug traffickers.

He wants to use a witness protection list in exchange for protection and a safe route out of the United States. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia shook his head and said, "If it were me, I would rather wade through the border desert with my feet than cooperate with drug traffickers."

Eric Bent shook his head noncommittally and said: "The FBI's Cooper will lead a team of agents to cooperate with you. I want you to go to Los Angeles to kill the 'Shadow Messenger'. Everyone who has come into contact with him needs to be interrogated. …”

Qiao Jia listened and said curiously: "I heard that Cooper had a cerebral hemorrhage...

Oh, I get it, FUCK, you political people are really..."

Eric Bent forced a smile and said: "If you change the place at another time, you will find that we are actually good friends, and we are even more generous to our friends!"

Qiao Jia wanted to reply to him, 'What you spent is not your own money anyway', but thinking that he was also a beneficiary, he forced out a smile and said: "That's it, you must have my phone number, Once you have the employment contract with the offer and the immunity statement from the Department of Justice, I'll take you to Los Angeles.

To be honest, I am more motivated than you to fight the 'Ndrangheta, so I will give you a preferential price of 800,000! "

Eric shook his head decisively and said: "The upper limit of an outsourcing contract at this level of the Security Department is 500,000, and I can only give you 500,000.

You have to understand that you will get more after success, and that is what you should strive for. "

When Qiao Jia heard this, he understood that these big shots had reached this stage and yet they were still unwilling to pay for it themselves.

Of course, there are financial and confidentiality issues here, but to this extent, they still insist on the spirit of spending public money, which still makes Qiao Jia very impressed.

This may be the secret why big people may not have too much money, but they are never short of money! !

After nodding his head and agreeing to Eric Bent's offer, Qiao Jia got up and saw off the guests.

Eric Bent walked to the door of the study very consciously. When he opened the door, he looked back at Qiao Jia and said, "We will keep our promise. If you..."

“Go to Afika and ask, my reputation must be better than yours.

Unless your intelligence is wrong, the 'Shadow Messenger' is dead!

I don't care what you threw, I'm not curious at all, I'm just a gun business guy...

Man, you have to remember your promise. I don’t know about other people, but I can’t rely on my account. "

After hearing this, Eric Bent took a deep look at Qiao Jia, finally nodded, and while opening the door of the study room, he said: "Integrity is very important everywhere, and we never break our trust. Helpful man!!”

"Then I'll wait and see. I think we will be good friends. When I am free, I will visit you."

Qiao Jia didn't believe this guy's lies. Without any deterrence, these ghost guys would only be ghosts if they were trustworthy.

Proving that you have the ability to make things big is the best way to make them keep their word.

If you don't do what you promised me, that's fine. If I can't deal with those big shots, I'll take action on you.

I'm just a consultant. If I find out where you live, I can tear you into pieces.

Eric Bent obviously ‘understood’ what Joga said, he nodded and said: “Happy cooperation!”

After that, the guy walked to the living room of the presidential suite and greeted Alicia and Minister Dutch. He lowered his head and whispered a few words in Minister Dutch's ear, and then left politely.

Qiao Jia saw everyone turning their attention to him, walked to the dining car prepared by the hotel and got some food, then took a glass of champagne and walked to the living room, smiling and said: "We have to celebrate, I think Michael's head There is a red light, and according to Hua Guo, something good has happened to my brother."

DEA's Michael Beach took the initiative to touch Qiao Jia with champagne and said with a smile: "Jackal, I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!!"

Qiao Jia laughed, turned around and bumped into Dutch and Alicia. He originally wanted to confess his deal with Eric Bent to them, but unexpectedly, these two seemed not interested in these things, and instead felt relaxed. Came down and encouraged him with a smile...

The atmosphere in the room is very good, not at all as severe as before...

Qiao Jia found an opportunity to hold Alicia alone. He hesitated and didn't know how to ask this lady...

In the end, Alicia seemed to see what he was thinking. She patted Qiao Jia on the arm and said, "Don't think too much. You are the most important reason why they value you because you have strangled the drug line in Central Africa.

Take what he gives you and do something right, so that Gemma can actually see the changes in Central Africa..."

Qiao Jia looked at Alicia who almost made it clear that he had to cover Gemma. He admired, glanced at Nice and then leaned into Alicia's ear and said: "Do you have other daughters? My daughter My friends should allow me to find a few more..."

Alicia glared at Qiao Jia and suddenly said with a smile: "I also have a son who came out. William and I were worried about him. I think you are the type he likes..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia quickly waved his hands and said: "No, your family is too politically correct and not suitable for a rough guy like me. Let's change the topic...

When do you do a fundraiser?

I'll go support you! ! "
