Soviet Union 1991

Second update

Tenet is in a very bad mood now. After being reprimanded by the Chairman of the Intelligence Committee and the President of the United States, he even has some doubts about whether he can continue to serve as director. On the other hand, almost none of the previous CIA directors had a good ending. They all failed miserably in the competition with the KGB and were then removed by senior officials. Of course, equally unlucky is the Department of Homeland Security.

They probably all think, "It's not that my subordinates are incompetent, it's that the Communist Party is too cunning!"

Since 1991, the KGB's pressure on them has never stopped. Almost every leader lost their hair thinking about how to deal with the KGB. Deutsch was also imprisoned for leaking classified information, and he also conducted a major overhaul of the intelligence agency.

The CIA is no longer as prosperous as it once was. Even if it cooperates with the Department of Homeland Security, neither party is a match for the KGB.

However, Tenet still received good news today. Brennan, the former assistant to Director George Tenet and now the director of the CIA's Middle East branch, announced "good news" to Tenet. An old friend who returned from the Middle East brought him an unexpected gift.

According to information intercepted by local intelligence agents, the Lebanese Hezbollah Front is planning a secret kidnapping of the Soviet Embassy in Lebanon. Syria has stationed troops in Lebanon since October 1976, and has supported domestic Hezbollah guerrillas and continued to intervene. internal affairs. And Syria is a diehard loyalist of the Soviet Union in the Middle East. The Hezbollah Front believed that as long as they kidnapped the Lebanese ambassador, made political demands, put pressure on Syria and the Soviet Union, and created panic, they would naturally curb their actions in Lebanon.

The attack could involve bombing the embassy in Beirut and kidnapping diplomats.

Brennan presented the intelligence in his hands and told Tenet, "This is a great opportunity to prove our chances to Congress and the White House. I know the serious situation in Bucharest now, and the KGB power seems to be preparing to return to Eastern Europe." But the White House has always been indifferent, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid that the White House has to avoid the Soviet Union now, and Europe's internal affairs are now in a mess. The relationship between Germany and the United States is becoming rigid. President Mario cannot stand up alone to challenge the Soviet Union. He needs to win over the European Union... "

At this point, Tenet suddenly closed his mouth as if he realized something. Rigorousness and caution are this man's style, which is why he remains in the CIA position. Unlike his predecessor, Deutsch, who had a partisan leaning, Tenet leans neither Republican nor Democratic, but maintains a neutral attitude. This is why he can remain in this position.

"Since the Soviet Union is exerting pressure on issues in Eastern Europe, then we can exert pressure on issues in the Middle East. Tit for tit, isn't it fair?"

Brennan threw the information about the Hezbollah Front to Tenet and pointed out his plan, "This organization is a regime that is mainly hostile to the Soviet Union. They believe that the Soviet Union is suppressing Muslin in the country and bringing them deep disasters. And now they will retaliate against the embassy, ​​demanding that they evacuate Lebanon and ease the domestic crackdown on Musselin..."

The Lebanese Hezbollah Front was formed in 1983. In its early days, it mainly resisted the Israeli and Syrian occupation of Lebanon. Leader Rafiq Ahud has long led militants to operate in the Zahle area and used terrorist attacks to create chaos. Recently, in response to Soviet General Secretary Yanayev's support for Syria's actions in the Middle East, he decided to declare war on the Soviet Union, carry out terrorist attacks, and punish these enemies of the Islamic world.

"Have we got in touch with these guys who are willing to die now?" Tenet asked coldly. He really didn't expect that there would be people in Lebanon who dared to take advantage of the Soviet consulate in Lebanon. Wasn't the bloody lesson in 1985 profound enough?

"I think this operation should be reported to Director Tenet first. Although the CIA is not directly involved, but..." Brennan looked around and whispered, "But this is equivalent to a direct declaration of war on the Soviet Union. After all, it is We support each other secretly."

"There is no need to worry about direct action. As long as we do not directly intervene in their operational planning and use intermediaries to provide weapons to the Hezbollah Front. The enemy of our enemy is our friend."

Tenet also gave Brennan an explanation, "The higher-ups just want to see a victory now, even if it makes the Soviet Union suffer some pain in Lebanon. This is our secret revenge for the Romania incident. Let them Let’s just worry about the Middle East issue.”

"What about the Hezbollah Front?" Brennan hesitated. He wanted to know what would happen to the waste after use. The whole world knows the Soviet Union's attitude towards the disobedient Mu Silin in the country. Those who tried to rebel in the Caucasus were all sent to the gas chambers, and the Middle Eastern refugees who wanted to enter the Soviet Union were killed directly on the border. Even President Mario declared privately that the Democratic Party may be the only powerful political party that can prevent the cancer from continuing to spread.

Tenet made an obliterating move, "After the matter is completed, of course we will throw them out as abandoned ones. The most important thing is that we must make the other party look like the Islamic world's resistance to the Middle East. It has nothing to do with us, give It is our task to create a crisis in Moscow. As for the outcome of the abandonment? "

Tenet turned around and said to Brennan in a cold voice, "Has the CIA abandoned enough pawns?"

Brennan lowered his head and said nothing.

Tenet sighed, "Director Brennan is also a person who has always taken tough measures on the Middle East issue. Now the power of the KGB is expanding rapidly. If we don't take any measures, sooner or later we will face the worst situation."

"The Middle East is just a preliminary battle. Next, we will blow the horn of war in Eastern Europe."

"After losing for so many years, it's time to resist."

After explaining the task, Tenet left Brennan and walked out of Langley's office. There was another hearing waiting for him in Congress. In his eyes, these endless bureaucratic meetings were simply the culprits that slowed down work efficiency.

Brennan looked at the back of his new boss with mixed feelings. Although he didn't know what Tenet meant by resistance, he had a hunch that the silent director was planning a terrible conspiracy. (To be continued.)
