Chapter 184 The scapegoat
Paul was very satisfied with what Brian said, and his eyes began to light up.
Yang Yi is very suspicious now, no, he is very sure that under Paul's affable appearance, there is a heart that only demons hides.
It turns out that people cannot behave like appearance.
Paul began to get excited, and he did not hide it.
"We can reorganize and gather our people back. It's not enough for us to be the only two of us, to gather everyone!"
Paul patted his chest, and then he said confidently: "After so many years, I have maintained the habit of fitness every day. I never eat red meat, I don't drink or smoke, I run three kilometers a day, practice shooting three times a week. Am I old? No, I just become more mature!"
Bryan smiled and said, "I really can't figure out how you could become a pastor."
"Because my grandfather is a pastor and my dad is a pastor, of course I should be a pastor."
Brian smiled and said, "I know, you said this to me many years ago, so I came here to find you."
Paul said seriously: "I am very religious, so I like to send those who are seriously sinful to God, and God will forgive their sins."
Brian smiled and said, "Then it's time for us to contact everyone."
Paul raised a finger and said seriously: "Although I am still very angry with you, I don't owe anything to this country, but I owe you a lot. After venting my anger, I found that I still prefer to follow your life. Others should be similar, but there is one exception, Aaron, he absolutely hates you!"
Brian shrugged: "He should hate me, I ruined his future."
Paul exhaled and said, "Aaron is very difficult. You betrayed the people from the Intelligence Department. Several key intelligence officers from the Middle East Intelligence Department were killed by the KGB. As your deputy, Aaron cannot guarantee it anyway..."
Brian stood up, his whole body trembled violently, and said in a trembling voice: "What did you say?"
Paul said with a look of surprise: "What's wrong? What did I say? I said Aaron..."
"You said that how many people from the Intelligence Department died?"
"Yes, isn't this what you betrayed them?"
Brian was shocked and said tremblingly: "But I don't! I don't! I just gave the action plan of the Action Department to the KGB!"
Paul also stood up with shock, and said incrediblely: "What?"
Brian said tremblingly: "I have no one who betrayed the Intelligence Department, no! None! We are just Operations Department, Paul, how can I know the spies in the Intelligence Department? I just told the KGB what action plan we have. They can tell from our action plan whether the KGB mole was exposed. I just told them that the Operations Department was going to attack a mole hidden in Egypt. They had to take the mole away in time to avoid losing the entire intelligence line. I only said this!"
Paul said in a trembling voice: "This is not right, this is not right!"
Brian opened his hands and said in panic: "Of course this is not right! I betrayed the intelligence. Now I won't tell the reason, but I really just betrayed one piece of intelligence, and I transferred you all away! No one is in danger. The KGB can only save one of their senior moles. Why do the people from the Intelligence Department die?"
Brian sat down slowly, then he nodded and said, "I understand! I finally understand! All this is just a conspiracy. No wonder they filed so many charges against me when they interrogated me! I told the person who interrogated me that I only betrayed which intelligence I had, and no one admitted it. Later, the interrogation was conducted several times, but no one told me that the person with the intelligence department was dead..."
Is it necessary for Brian to lie? Of course, there is no need for him to lie. He has admitted that he is a traitor for more than 20 years, and he has admitted it long ago, so Brian avoids the important things.
Paul was also a little stunned, and then he shouted: "You are a scapegoat! You are just a scapegoat!"
Brian took a deep breath, then he nodded and said, "That's right! I'm the scapegoat!"
Paul said anxiously: "If it weren't for the intelligence department you betrayed, there would be someone else, a mole with a higher level and more valuable to the Soviet Union, and you are just someone who used to cover that mole! No matter what information you betrayed, the KGB will deliberately give the evidence to the boss, and then they will deliberately send it to Cia with a complete chain of evidence!"
Brian whispered: "Seniors! Only the top leaders can do this. No, no, if there is conclusive evidence, I don't have to go through trials and get confessions before I can be convicted. If there is a complete chain of evidence, and the fact that one person must be introduced to fight all the charges as soon as possible, then I will be enough, but it is not right. Doesn't anyone think that it's wrong and wants to find the real mole?"
Paul exclaimed, and then he said in a deep voice: "Aldridge Ames, do you know this guy?"
"I know, Aldridge, I even had contact with him, and in 1985 he served as Director of the Counter-Intelligence Service of the Soviet Union."
Paul smiled and said, "He is the mole of the KGB. The entire Soviet and Eastern European intelligence network was completely destroyed. For a long time, our colleagues from the Soviet and Eastern European Intelligence Services could only make up intelligence based on the news. Because the entire intelligence network was destroyed, Aldridge did it. He served the KGB for nine years and received a total of $4.6 million in compensation. He was arrested and jailed and executed in 1994. At that time, you were already in prison, so you didn't know."
Brian said tremblingly: "He is the director of counter-intelligence in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe! My God."
"It seems that you are really just a scapegoat, and the real mole is still hiding well until now. Bill is right..."
Paul suddenly covered his eyes with his hands, and then he choked and whispered: "Bill is really right. He said those who were not done by you. He firmly believed that the people from the Intelligence Department were not betrayed. It turns out that he is really right..."
Brian said in a trembling voice: "Who has Aldridge turned against him?"
Paul let go of his hands covering his eyes and whispered: "Black Devil! Aldridge sold all the spies he knew in the Soviet Union to the KGB, and received a reward of two million dollars at one time. Only the Black Devil can give such a high price, only the Black Devil!"
Brian took a deep breath, and then he started laughing, just laughing sadly.
Brian said to himself: "Yes, it's two million dollars at one move. Only when the Black Devil has the authority to offer this price, I had to be so stupid that I believed that my intelligence was worth two million dollars! The Black Devil! The Black Devil..."
