Chapter 750 Candidates

"After investigation and analysis, those people are likely to be intelligence personnel from the United States..."

"CIA?"

Hearing Barron's words, Nigel Inkster nodded:

"It's the way they do things."

In the recent period, especially after the Rothschild family suffered a blow, Barron returned to London, and his intelligence adviser Nigel once mentioned to him that there were more eyes watching the Duke.

As he said, after reverse observation and analysis, they concluded that those people were probably from the CIA in the United States.

CIA is the abbreviation of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States. Both it and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States) often appear in some film and television works and are very well-known.

The difference between the CIA and the FBI. Simply put, it can be understood that the CIA is mainly the United States' foreign intelligence agency. Its main task is to collect and analyze information openly and secretly about foreign governments, companies, terrorist organizations, individuals, politics, culture, technology, etc. intelligence, coordinates the activities of other domestic intelligence agencies, and reports this intelligence to various departments of the U.S. government.

The FBI is affiliated with the U.S. Department of Justice and is considered the top of the U.S. conventional security force. It is responsible for domestic security affairs, such as major gang wars, terrorist attacks, etc. The FBI is also responsible for handling some major federal cases, such as The Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) in the American TV series "Criminal Minds" is affiliated with the FBI.

In fact, even before this, there was not a lot of intelligence collected on Barron - but most of it was isolated by his security and intelligence personnel. Among them were various foreign intelligence personnel, including those from the British MI5. Some sightlines at (MI5)...

Now the CIA has begun to increase its interest in Barron, and he can guess the reason. After all, the CIA in the United States has intelligence collection agencies in various countries, including their allies. With Barron's status, as a British He is a very important figure in politics and economics. It is normal for the CIA to pay attention to him.

What's more, in matters against the Rothschild family, the energy he displayed was difficult to ignore.

Barron can only pay more attention to this. He believes that with his security level and the intelligence network he has, even if the CIA is famous, he will not be afraid of the other party.

What's more, he doesn't have much interest disputes with the other party now, and now it seems that the CIA has only expressed interest in him and does not have any hostility.

"I have talked with Cameron, Mr. Inkster, if he can become prime minister, then he will appoint a new chief of the intelligence agency, and I will make a recommendation at that time..."

Although the general election has not yet started, according to the information Barron knows, the probability of the Conservative Party winning the election is still very high as in his previous life.

And itself, the Conservative Party led by Cameron has also gained more public support from the SEM Group controlled by Barron. Under such circumstances, Barron targeted the other party for candidates to head MI5 or MI6. It is not impossible to make a recommendation based on the relationship between the two parties.

But at present, it seems that Barron is more likely to influence MI6, which is the choice of director of the Secret Intelligence Service. The responsibilities of MI6 are similar to the CIA, and it is also the British external intelligence agency. Under normal circumstances, it is responsible for The Foreign Secretary is responsible.

Internally, MI5, the British National Security Agency, is mainly responsible to the Home Secretary. Therefore, its candidates are often those whom Cameron trusts and will not be influenced by Barron.

"What do you mean?"

"I heard before that you and Alex Young have worked together for many years and have a good personal relationship. Do you think he is trustworthy?"

As Barron's intelligence adviser for many years, Nigel Inkster's assistance to Barron is obvious to all, so he also gained the trust of the British Duke.

Now that he said such words, Nigel understood very well, which meant that if Alex Young could be on their side, then Barron would recommend him to take over as the director of MI6.

"I have worked with Alex for over 15 years and I know him very well and I think he is qualified for this position."

Nigel said to Barron cautiously.

"Okay, help me arrange a time and I will meet with Mr. Young."

…

In addition to the British domestic concern about the upcoming general election, other countries in Europe are also paying close attention to this matter.

Especially when the Greek sovereign debt crisis intensifies, after all, although Britain has not joined the Eurozone, Britain's future policy trends will still affect here.

For example, Brown, who is currently the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has always firmly opposed joining the Eurozone and does not want Britain to be too involved in some messy things in Europe. Whether he can be re-elected will, to a considerable extent, affect the future. European situation in several years.

But in addition, more attention is still focused on Greece. After all, whether Greece can continue to remain in the euro zone will be determined in the near future.

Since April, Greece has been negotiating with the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on accepting a bailout.

In reports on the 15th, the Greek Finance Minister announced some details of these negotiations to the media.

According to the requirements put forward by the European Central Bank and the IMF during the negotiations, the Greek government needs to implement a more stringent austerity policy, including cutting the fiscal budget by 30 billion euros in the next three years in order to control the fiscal deficit to less than 3% of GDP in 2014.

Greek Finance Minister Papaconstantinou said that Greece now faces two choices: either let the country go bankrupt or save it.

He will also fly to Brussels, the headquarters of the European Union, at the end of April to attend a special meeting of finance ministers of 16 eurozone countries.

The specific details of the rescue amount will be announced at this special meeting.

According to the information that has been disclosed, the scale of funds involved in this rescue plan may reach 120 billion euros, which will not only set a precedent for eurozone members to accept rescue, but also far exceed the 45 billion euros that eurozone countries had previously agreed on.

Of course, Barron knows that this will only be the first batch of rescue amounts, and this amount will continue to expand in the future...

At present, it seems that the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund will rescue Greece, which is basically certain.

This did not surprise Barron, after all, things had developed in this way in his previous life.

European countries could certainly allow Greece to withdraw from the eurozone, but after weighing the losses caused to the entire eurozone by Greece's withdrawal from the eurozone and the funds needed to rescue Greece, they still chose to rescue it.

In addition, looking at Greece's position, it can be understood that Greece is in the Mediterranean, guarding the gateway for some countries in the Middle East and North Africa to enter Europe from the sea.

European countries also need Greece to help them prevent refugees from these areas from sneaking into Europe. If Greece does not care about it, then I am afraid that refugees from North Africa and the Middle East, especially some war-torn areas in the Middle East, will be able to move to the heart of Europe continuously and unimpeded...
