Chapter 934 Unusual

At night in London, it continued to drizzle.

After the door of the study room was knocked again, Barron put the book he was holding on the table and saw Alya walking in with a cup of hot tea.

Putting the exquisite bone china tea cup on the table, she whispered to Barron:

"Your Highness the Duke, Mr. Inkster has arrived."

"Let him in."

Zhanyan showed a sweet smile to Barron. This nominal life assistant and de facto personal maid turned around and left, closing the door gently.

"Any news?"

After Nigel Inkster entered the study, he sat on the sofa in front of Barron, his face was solemn, and he said slowly:

"We have been monitoring McKenna III of the Pilot Group, but for the sake of confidentiality, our actions are more cautious..."

Naturally, Barron would not think that if he counterattacked the Vanguard Group on the matter of the Sinclair Group and put them on the international gold price, the other party would cease.

Therefore, the intelligence system he controlled, after that, tried to monitor McKenna III, the chairman of the Pilot Group, to a certain extent, in order to discover as early as possible that the other party had plans that were not beneficial to him.

"During this period, McKenna III had interactions with senior executives including BlackRock, State Street, and Citigroup..."

Nigel Inkster said:

"But you know, it is normal for these Wall Street capitals to cooperate with each other, so we need a longer layout and analysis based on the intelligence we obtained to determine the abnormalities, and we also need Find opportunities to monitor in more ways..."

"I hope to see results..."

Barron understood that what Nigel said was not unreasonable. After all, as the chairman of the Vanguard Group, McKenna III would go deep into many more secretive actions, such as cooperating with other Wall Street capitals for "hunting" and the need to cooperate with others. A number of relevant officials are meeting to obtain more information that will not be disclosed to the general public...

"We also discovered some unusual things, Your Highness, the Duke. One of the more special ones is that McKenna III had two relatively secret meetings last month. Although the first time we did not take too many risks to obtain more information, But the second time, he finally identified the person he saw..."

Nigel Inkster opened the documents he brought and gently pushed them in front of Barron.

What Barron saw was a photo in the file...

"This person is Michael Morell, a deputy director of the CIA. Michael has served the CIA for more than 30 years. He is currently the most powerful deputy director of the CIA and has a high prestige."

If the trend of the original time and space is followed, then the "Dangerous David", CIA Director David Petraeus, who took office in 2011, should have resigned last year due to the extramarital affair scandal.

However, because Barron had had "friendly exchanges" with the other party before, the relationship between David Petraeus and Barron became harmonious.

As a result, David Petraeus was able to escape the extramarital affair scandal and remain as CIA director until now.

You know, in the original time and space, the main reason why David Petraeus's extramarital affair scandal broke out was because this matter was investigated by their "old rival" FBI.

In the summer of 2012, a socialite called the police claiming that she had been receiving threats from anonymous emails...

An FBI investigation revealed that the emails were sent by Paula Broadwell, the biographer of CIA Director David Petraeus, using Petraeus' personal email.

Originally, the FBI and the CIA had never dealt with each other. Now that the FBI has obtained "dirty information" about the CIA's boss, it is definitely impossible to help hide it...

The extramarital affair between the CIA director and a beautiful reporter was immediately exposed.

Then as the investigation deepened, the FBI discovered a lot of confidential information files in Paula Broadwell's computer, and suspected that Petraeus had leaked them. The extramarital affair immediately evolved into a national security incident.

Therefore, the CIA director David Petraeus, who had a promising future and was considered to be one of the contenders for the future leadership of the United States, had to choose to resign.

In addition, in the original time and space, after David Petraeus resigned as CIA director, the person who became the acting director of the CIA was Michael Morell, the most senior deputy director...

Now, under the "kind reminder" from Barron's people, David Petraeus knew that his extramarital affair with a beautiful reporter was known to others, and he dealt with the matter for the sake of his own future.

In this way, there will be no more beautiful reporter Paula Broadwell using David Petraeus's email to publish anonymous threats, avoiding the FBI's involvement in the matter, and thus making this matter public.

The result is that David Petraeus is still sitting on the throne of CIA director.

Of course, despite this, David Petraeus, as a powerful figure in the world's most powerful country, now controls intelligence forces all over the world. Even though he has a relatively "harmonious" relationship with Barron, he is still not It may be about providing them with some information, etc. At most, the two parties will form some kind of tacit understanding on certain things.

As Michael Morell is the senior deputy director of the CIA, even with Barron's intelligence, he can only obtain the confirmed intelligence that he had a secret meeting with McNair III. As for the content of the meeting between the two parties, there is still no detailed intelligence.

However, this is enough to arouse Barron's vigilance.

"Increase the monitoring of McNair III..."

Barron hesitated for a moment, pressed his finger on the photo on the table, and said affirmatively:

"There is also the monitoring of Michael Morell, but the monitoring of Michael Morell must be paid special attention and must be cautious and careful not to attract the attention of the CIA."

"Okay, Your Highness."

"In addition..."

Barron looked at Nigel Inkster and said:

"I need more intelligence support from Alex, and I need to obtain the monitoring records related to this matter..."

The "Alex" he mentioned refers to the current director of MI6, Alex Younger, who has a close relationship with Nigel and was promoted to his current position by Barron.

However, although Alex Younger would provide them with some intelligence, he would not open all of MI6's intelligence network to them.

Now when Barron needed more specific intelligence, Nigel needed to persuade him.

"Okay."

Nigel Inkster sighed slightly and said to Barron:

"I will go talk to him, Your Highness."
