Firepower is king

Identify and resolve every detail of the problem until the plan is feasible.

When both people feel that the plan is feasible, then the plan will be three-thirds sure.

Don't even think about being 100% sure. It's not possible. If you can be 30% or 40% sure, the success rate is scary, because it depends on who the target is.

How to get both sides of the Edelweiss fight to get on the helicopter at the same time is a huge problem. If a number five is added, it will be even more difficult.

Otto thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason.

Because for the plan to proceed, the target must cooperate on his own, that is, drill his head into the rope loop. But the problem is that the reason why the Edelweiss gang can survive to this day and become famous is not because they are good enough. Be careful, are you cautious enough?

Finally, Otto said helplessly: "There is no good way to make the Edelweiss people act according to our wishes. I can only contact them first to determine whether the plan is possible to be implemented."

Gao Guang knew nothing about Edelweiss, and even now, Otto had never revealed the true secret of Edelweiss to him. But now that Otto has no choice, he has to focus on highlights.

"Since you have no choice, why not let me try, but you have to tell me the secret of Edelweiss, otherwise I won't be able to do it."

Otto had to be forced to come up with something real. Gao Guang said seriously: "How does Edelweiss work? What are the true identities of No. 1 and No. 3? You have to tell me now."

Otto still didn't want to say anything. He hesitated, so Gao Guang said directly: "Don't forget, now that I am No. 4, the matter of Edelweiss has something to do with me. If you are still secretive like this, nothing will happen to you." If you want to hide it from me, then there’s nothing you can do about it.”

"Number One is called Newman Fink. He was the person in charge of the Stasi stationed in West Germany. When East Germany collapsed and the two Germanys were reunified, his identity was not exposed. He had many people on his hands, and he also had There was a large amount of foreign exchange used as activity funds, so when the two Germanys were reunified, Neumann and Fink became one of the few Stasi senior officials who still retained their strength. "

Otto gave up resistance and began to reveal Edelweiss's secret.

"In order to keep the Stasi secret, many latent agents did not create files. Only the directly responsible boss knew who the latent agents were. Newman Fink's boss was Markus Wolff, code name No. 2. Micha, a legendary figure of the Stasi, had no photos leaked out of his life and was known as the Man without a Name, also known as the Man with a Hidden Face. He died in 2006 at the age of 83. "

After briefly introducing No. 2 with admiration, Otto continued: "No. 3 is called Wes Clausenz.

A member of the West German Federal Intelligence Service, he was the mole of our development and the mole of the KGB, so he was a triple agent. After the reunification of the two Germanys, his situation was very bad, so he sought to abscond because he was worried about his identity being exposed, but until In the end, his identity was not exposed, so he stayed in the Federal Intelligence Agency. "

Pointing to himself, Otto said calmly: "I am No. 4. I became No. 4 because I followed No. 2. As for No. 5, he is from the KGB. I have almost no interaction with him, so I don't know his identity." True identity and specific position.”

After briefly introducing the identities of several people, Otto continued: "The establishment of Edelweiss at that time was actually just a group of homeless people trying to join the group to keep warm. The country was gone, and the identity of the Stasi became our neck. So we losers joined together to form Edelweiss, just to gather resources so that we can continue to hide and escape capture.”

Gao Guang frowned and said, "If No. 2 has the highest status, then why is he only No. 2?"

"Because the resources were all in the hands of No. 1. He had about 6 million marks in activity funds at the time and at least hundreds of people who could use them. Once his identity was revealed, he would definitely die. Therefore, No. 1 was also the most determined to establish Edelweiss. And with the Stasi gone, the previous identity will naturally lose its meaning.”

Gao Guang nodded and said: "I understand why No. 1 and No. 3 are responsible for intelligence, because they are originally engaged in intelligence, and they still have resources, but here comes the problem. The focus of their activities should be in Europe. Why are they here? U.S?"

"Who said that the center of gravity of Edelweiss is in the United States? No, the center of Edelweiss has always been in Europe, and the center of gravity of the Shadowless is also in Europe."

Otto first corrected Gao Guang's mistake, and then he continued: "No. 1 has someone who is also rich, No. 3 has power without revealing his identity, No. 2 only has me, but because No. 2 has the highest status, even though I am young, I have I also got to No. 4, and then No. 2 and I didn’t have any available people, so I started to be responsible for assassinations. I could only make a living by being an assassin, but I did lay a solid foundation for the establishment and growth of Edelweiss. A lot of credit.”

"And now, what has become of Edelweiss now?"

Otto thought for a moment, and then he said seriously: "There are more than 100,000 people in the Stasi, and only a small part of them have been exposed. But before West Germany ruled in 1995 that the Stasi's espionage was a state act, these People are in fear all day long, so before 1995, Edelweiss was an organization that stayed together for survival.

But after 1995, Edelweiss became an interest organization. "

After spreading his hands, Otto said calmly: "So the current Edelweiss is an interest organization that exists to make money, a company, nothing more."

"Then why did the internal strife start now?"

"Because Edelweiss had no achievements many years ago, Edelweiss grew in the Internet era. When Edelweiss discovered that intelligence could be a business, and it was a big business, it started operating the darknet, and now it has More than twenty years."

Otto was still talking eloquently, and he said calmly: "Edelweiss was not prominent in the intelligence community before. Our current status is only achieved through our joint efforts. Numbers 1 and 3 focus on intelligence, and I am responsible for killing competitors. , In this way, Edelweiss finally became an important pole in the intelligence community after entering the 2010s. Now, there are no competitors that can be called opponents, and internal strife often loses the ability to external forces. It will happen later.”

Gao Guang hesitated for a moment and said: "So who is in the United States, No. 1 or No. 3, and who is more familiar with the United States?"

“No. 1 moved to the United States in 2000, and No. 3 lived in Germany until retirement, but he now also lives in the United States. Over the years, they have always been able to move in and out of the United States freely, and they all have very deep connections in the United States, so , they are all very familiar with the United States.”

Gao Guang started to scratch his head. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Who is stronger, No. 1 or No. 3?"

"It's hard to say. Number 1 is from the Stasi, number 3 is a mole, but number 3 is a member of the West German FBI. His identity has never been exposed, so after establishing Edelweiss, he can still get support from the state." Level resources are available for use, and both of them are very strong.”

Gao Guang frowned and said, "So, between No. 1 and No. 3, who is closer to the black box?"

Otto covered his face, and then he whispered helplessly: "No. 1 is the Stasi, and No. 3 is the Mole. They both have close relations with the KGB. When the Soviet Union collapsed, they both collected a large number of former KGB member, who do you think the black box favors?"

"How do I know!" "Me too."

He reluctantly admitted that he didn't know. Otto spread his hands and said: "We are facing a group of old guys with extremely rich experience. When you plan to use any means to kill them at the same time, first of all, you have to think about them. "Have you ever experienced something like this before? Then you have to think about how keen they are to smell danger as they survive to this day."

Highlights start

When you get older, sure enough, when you start to understand the Edelweiss organization in depth, you will find that this hidden secret organization is the most disgusting.

Confused and with dark eyes, Gao Guang is good at rushing past with a gun. He is really powerless in this situation where he has no use of his power.

Otto said slowly: "I don't know where No. 1 and No. 3 are. According to common sense, they should not be in the United States, but have returned to their own spheres of influence. In this case, they should be in Europe, so we have to take action. They should also be in Europe, but I asked them to meet in New York last time, and they agreed, but this time, I’m not sure if they are willing to come to the United States to meet.”

"Stop talking, stop talking. I'm getting impatient when you start talking."

Gao Guang stopped Otto's rambling. He interrupted Otto's words almost rudely and said irritably: "I'm not good at dealing with this kind of situation, and I'm not good at using these sinister methods of hiding behind the scenes, but I We know one truth, that is, we must use our own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. We cannot fall into the enemy's rhythm and fight this battle according to the enemy's pattern. Do you understand? "

Otto spread his hands and said helplessly: "You have to understand, no one likes to dance to the rhythm of the enemy, but the problem is, the enemy will not dance to your rhythm, this is..."

"You hit yours, and I'll hit mine! Do you know what I mean? It's to attack the enemy in the way we are good at. You know assassination, so you plan to assassinate No. 1 and No. 3. This is correct, because you I’m good at this, but I’m different. I’m a warrior. I don’t know or am good at being a spy, nor am I good at being a killer, so I have to do it my own way.”

Otong shrugged and said straightforwardly: "In the mercenary way? Okay, first you have to be able to find the other party." "No! That's not what I mean!"

Gao Guang said fiercely: "The important thing is rhythm. We can't complicate the way to kill the enemy. What we have to do is to make complicated things simple. When a plan requires more steps, it is easier to fail. So what we have to do now is to simplify the steps and all unnecessary planning. Now, call No. 1 and No. 3 and ask them to meet. "

"them"

Before Otto could finish speaking, Gao Guang intervened forcefully: "No matter what they do, you just call. If they refuse, we will start to retaliate! Break away from the rhythm they are good at and jump out of their comfort zone to fight this battle."

After finishing speaking, Gao Guang stretched out his hand and said seriously: "Give me the phone. If you don't know what to say, just let me do it. I'll make the call!"
