Chapter 6334 Collaborators of the NSA

"If that's the case, we'll probably have to wait for him here." The man in the suit smiled and nodded.

"I can take you to the rest area, do you need coffee?" Mary asked.

"Thank you, three cups of coffee, one of which is without sugar." The man in the suit said just now.

Mary replied immediately, "I mean we don't serve coffee here, but there is a vending machine around the corner. You can help yourself if you need it."

"No, I think you misunderstood. We hope to be able to wait for him in Mr. Rick's office. Because we have a very important matter to find him." The man in the suit deliberately paused for a while.

It's a pity that Mary doesn't like him at all. "Sorry, this is not in compliance with the regulations. I hope you understand that we are a military security company that has in-depth cooperation with the military. So we may have access to some military secrets. Mr. Rick's office unless he allows down to enter."

"You may not understand that we belong to the Security Bureau..." the man in the suit snapped.

"So you should know the rules better. Don't you? Of course, I can't stop you if you try to force your way, but the company pays me a salary, so I have to abide by the company's regulations.

If you try to force your way in without legal procedures, our company will abuse its authority and sue you, or even your entire department. ' Mary folded her hands across her chest.

It seems that this 50-year-old aunt doesn't pay attention to these people at all.

Seeing this, another man in black took out his ID again.

"Don't scare me with your Security Service credentials, we all know that even you have to live under federal law.

I myself have had the honor of serving as secretary to a Secretary of Defense and a Secretary of State, and it is not uncommon for me to have seen someone more powerful than you.

If you want to search here, you can. Please come up with legal procedures. And IMHO, given the nature of the company. Such legal procedures need to be approved by multiple departments.

Otherwise, our company has a very good team of lawyers. "This fat old woman in her 50s put her hands on her hips and her voice was stern.

Those brawny men in suits had nothing to do with her.

The man in the suit before could only cough dryly, "Uh, then we'll wait in the rest area."

When Lin Rui's other team members came to the company, these NSA members had been waiting for him in the rest area for more than an hour.

After asking the reason, Lin Rui agreed to see them.

In Lin Rui's office, several people sat down separately. The man in the suit before looked at Lin Rui and said slowly, "Mr. Rick is such a busy man, it's not easy to meet you."

"Sorry, everyone. As you can see, my company is a service industry. Customer satisfaction is our pursuit.

And usually the clients who hire us have very urgent reasons. We really can't say no. Therefore, in terms of working hours, we have never been able to control ourselves. Lin Rui smiled. "But since you guys are here, they definitely didn't come to chat with me.

In this case, let's go directly to the topic. What do you say? "

The man in the suit nodded, "Okay, I'm from the Internal Oversight Department of the NSA, you can call me Arthur."

"Okay, Arthur, what do you want from me? Or, what can I do for you?" Lin Rui smiled.

"Mr. Rick, we know who you are. No, it should be said, we know what you are.

You are the boss of this military company and one of the outsourcing service providers that has deep cooperation with the military. But we also know, some of the things you've done before.

Including what did you just do? We all know this. Believe me, as long as we want to keep an eye on a person, we can dig up all the information on that person.

But there is one thing that surprised us. All the information about you can only be traced back a few years. Can't find anything about your earlier records. Arthur looked at Lin Rui and said slowly.

Lin Rui smiled, "Didn't you say you can find out everything?"

"There are always some exceptions. Especially for people like Mr. Rick, it may not be a good thing for you if you can't find out your past." Arthur looked at Lin Rui.

"Are you here to ask me for help, or to investigate me?" Lin Rui smiled, "If you are here to investigate my past, I can ask the secretary outside the door to copy a few copies of my resume and let Each of you has one.

If you're coming to me for help, you've got to have the attitude of asking for help, be humble, humble, and polite. "

"Mr. Rick, you are a very capable person. Almost all the employers of your company are very satisfied with your services.

In fact, I also came to ask you for help today, but the matter I am going to talk about next is highly sensitive. I have to see if you can believe it, can you keep your mouth shut about it? ' snapped Arthur.

Lin Rui stretched his waist and said, "That's the truth. But you can't be sure, can you? A mercenary who works for money has long since lost any sense of honor.

A person who has no sense of honor and no shame at all can do any despicable thing. So you are very worried about us.

But as it happens, you've run into something a little tricky. You'll be tempted to throw this hot potato out early. And there are not many people who can take over this hot potato.

So that's why you're here, am I right? "

Arthur nodded, "Although you can't say it's completely right, you guessed it almost. We do have a very difficult matter and want to find some people who can do it."

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be a dirty job. And it's a very dirty job." Lin Rui sighed.

Arthur was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Rui, "Let's talk about it, you have been in trouble recently. But I know someone is harming you.

And we have the ability to help you out of any trouble. Even if your foundation is really not clean, we can clean it for you, clearly.

But you must do one thing for us. "

"The news is really well-informed. I was wondering when you would mention this to me just now. I didn't expect that you couldn't help it." Lin Rui chuckled, "But my trouble, how much do you know, tell me see?"

"Everything. Including your conflict with the Secret Order, and the recent hijacking of the Colombian plane you were involved in, and of course, what you were doing at the Federal Reserve just ended.

Surprised? In fact, we know about the Secret Society, and we can even say that we have had a good relationship with the Secret Society for decades.

Because they have always been considered as a reliable organization worthy of cooperation. ' replied Arthur.

"So, you have known about the existence of the Secret Society for decades?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Let's put it this way. There are many things that are highly classified. Even you may not know it. But we know it clearly.

We don't want to get involved in the grievances and conflicts between you and the Order. There is really no need to intervene. Because in our opinion, both of you are controllable.

So, you do me one thing. I will help you get rid of these current troubles. And I believe that as long as we know that we have made a move, the secret society organization will also have to back down by three points.

It is impossible for them to confront us head-on. Because our relationship with them is quite special. "Arthur looked at Lin Rui very calmly.

"How special is it?" Lin Rui looked at him and asked.

Arthur hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, "I shouldn't have said these things. But what we asked you to do has something to do with it. So, what do you want to know?"

"Don't change the subject, talk about your relationship. When did you know about the Secret Society?" Lin Rui looked at him and asked.

"Many years ago. Our NSA had some cooperation with them.

NSA is the largest intelligence department in the US government agency, which is responsible for collecting and analyzing foreign and domestic communication data. It belongs to the US Department of Defense, also known as the National Secret Service.

In 1952, according to a secret directive of President Truman, it was independent from the military department at the time to strengthen intelligence and communication work, and it was the center of the US intelligence agency.

You may not know that our predecessor was the "Armed Forces Security Agency" AFSA established by the Ministry of Defense by the decision of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on May 20, 1949.

Responsible for the comprehensive coordination of the intelligence work of the subordinate departments, including the Army Security Bureau, the Navy Security Group and the Air Force Security Service, there was not much power at that time.

On June 13, 1952, the research report "Brownell Commission Report" was completed, suggesting that the NSA be established on the basis of AFSA, and the scope of work went beyond the military. In June, President Truman signed a document specifying the scope of work of the NSA.

On November 4, 1952, it was officially established according to the secret instructions of President Truman, and the nine members of the intelligence group of the National Security Council were transferred to the leading agency of the NSA. The document was kept secret for a generation.

Before the end of the Cold War, the operation of the NSA was a mystery. Only a very small number of people knew of its existence, and an even smaller number of people knew its function.

But at that time, we were already working to some extent with the predecessor of the Secret Order. ' replied Arthur.

"After the end of the cold war... that means you have been in contact with them for decades. You know that such an organization exists, but you let them do what they want?" Lin Rui felt inconceivable.

Arthur took a deep breath. "NSA National Security Agency has fixed and mobile radio interception and positioning stations and centers all over the world, including US embassies in various countries. cooperate.

The mission of the Security Agency of the Ministry of National Defense is to ensure the security of telecommunications and collect foreign intelligence; to conduct global radio and radio technology reconnaissance by means of ground, sea, air and space; to be responsible for deciphering the coded information of countries around the world.

We compile and stabilize the codes used in the secret circuits of U.S. state agencies and the Pentagon; control the entire network of spy satellites and listening posts around the world; Cooperate with radio intelligence agencies.

It can be said that we, the USA, control the entire US spy satellite network and listening stations around the world. We provide reliable intelligence for FBI, CIA and other government agencies to help them solve major terrorist crimes and criminal cases, and protect top secrets for the US government.

For example, the list of foreign agents, the names and addresses of highly dangerous witnesses, the design drawings of military weapons, the data sent back by monitoring satellites, and even the president's atomic bomb launch code, etc.

The Secret Society was originally a group of former Soviet intelligence personnel eager to gain power. They were a very useful force at the end of the Cold War. "

"So you colluded with them a long time ago." Lin Rui nodded.

Arthur explained helplessly, "Yes. For some special reasons, we needed them very much at that time.

Technically, since modern phone calls, the Internet, faxes and satellite communications travel over atmospheric airwaves, they can all be intercepted.

However, Article 18 of the NSA's guidelines stipulates that without the written permission of the Supreme Court Justice, it is not allowed to monitor and collect intelligence on "...US citizens, registered companies and organizations...", and must not be used against US citizens.

However, in practice, the NSA cooperates with the intelligence agencies of secret societies to allow their intelligence agencies to collect and share information on American citizens, thereby avoiding the restrictions stipulated in Article 18.

At the same time, they sometimes spy on American citizens abroad. This power is sometimes abused, not only to protect the security of the United States, but also often used in political and commercial espionage. We all know this, but the higher authorities decided to acquiesce.

As you know, we at the NSA operate one of the largest databases in the world, collecting tens of millions of names, addresses, and other information. And many of these are also provided for us by secret society organizations.

They even came into contact with and participated in a part of the US-984XN project. "

"What is the US-984XN plan?" Lin Rui was a little surprised.

"That's the program's internal number. But I'm just going to have to name it by another name, and you've heard of it—Project Prism," Arthur explained.

"Project Prism? The notorious Project Prism that monitors phone calls and the Internet, involving millions of people?" Lin Rui looked at him in surprise.

"Yes. So I tell you that the secret society has a very close relationship with us. Of course this relationship is not known to outsiders. Because we need them very much.

Of course, on the other hand, we have been vigilantly monitoring them. However, although they sometimes act erratically, they have not gone too far. This has been the case for decades, so I say their behavior is manageable. "

"What bullshit! They are a group of extremely dangerous terrorists.

What controllable behavior? It's just your self-consolation. You have no idea what they did. "Lin Rui shook his head.
