Lies are the tools of politics, but a clever lie can become the truth!

As half an insider, even with the cooperation of someone like Kobe, Mountain Eagle's intelligence channels are limited.

A large part of their current judgments are based on reasoning and speculation, whereas the intelligence departments of the world's current number one power must have far richer intelligence channels.

From the current situation, Mountain Eagle's speculation is correct; the Death Angel indeed plans to attack the Arctic Influence Conference.

But now the problem lies in the reaction from the United States!

Kobe is clearly being treated as a scapegoat, sent to Alaska. He has been kicked out of the core intelligence circle and thus knows nothing about the other connections and conflicts behind it.

Now Kobe tells him that the Department of Homeland Security has other intelligence sources, and Donkey also says that the arrangements around the Marriott Hotel seem less like security defenses and more like a trap.

Mountain Eagle suddenly had a strange suspicion...

Maybe the Death Angel isn't just employed by the French side; he has connections to the United States intelligence agencies himself.

The fact that Death Angel speaks Arabic doesn't prove anything...

It's worth noting that the most famous terrorist organizations in the world today were initially supported by the United States and Israel for geopolitical interests.

Rather than taking huge risks to carry out an attack, it makes more sense for Death Angel to communicate with the United States Intelligence Organization in advance, and then maximize the benefits of a bad deed.

Make the United States feel that the danger is controllable, think it's possible to create conditions for key military actions through the crisis caused by a terrorist attack, and finally publicize the Arctic Influence Conference thoroughly while ensuring the safety of those deputy foreign ministers.

For this, the United States would certainly be willing to compromise with Death Angel in certain aspects...

Mountain Eagle's intelligence sources are limited; his Losers' Alliance circle won't receive such top-level secret information...

Thinking about this, Mountain Eagle looked somewhat sympathetically at the obviously very involved Kobe. He thought for a moment and said, "Old bro, I don't know what's on your mind now, but I have to tell you, thinking too much is useless...

If I were you, I would be thinking about how to extricate myself from this situation!

At first, I thought this would be a gunfight movie, but now it has turned into a political thriller.

I have a very bad feeling that anyone involved will be very unlucky!

You've already had enough bad luck; don't torment yourself to death!

You're a good person, I don't want to see your suicide note in the obituary column of the newspaper someday."

Kobe actually had similar thoughts as Mountain Eagle, because since last night when Mountain Eagle exposed the role that France might play in this matter, he had figured out many things...

After hearing Mountain Eagle's advice, Kobe shook his head and said, "I don't care about the Ebola virus at all; even if terrorists take over the hotel, as long as the virus doesn't leak, the situation is still under control.

What I care about is the Death Angel and the possibly missing VX nerve gas materials!

The people of ISIS are madmen; once they obtain VX nerve gas materials, and once they've converted those materials into gas, they will certainly use it on the battlefield.

Syria, Libya, these two important places for ISIS, both likely to encounter a gas attack.

Mountain, a lot of people will die because of it!"

Mountain Eagle listened, glanced at the distant Marriott Hotel, shook his head with a complex expression and said, "Maybe this is what they want...

America's 'broken window theory' has made you all but invincible in the post-World War II era; how dangerous ISIS is determines the intensity of American military intervention.

If the United States intelligence departments have some tacit understanding with the Death Angel, then I guess ISIS will expand rapidly in the short term."

Kobe looked at Mountain Eagle, his face solemn as he said, "But these idiots don't have absolute control at all!"

Mountain Eagle looked at Kobe full of anger, sneered and said, "If I had a yearly military budget of 600 billion US Dollars, I wouldn't need any absolute control.

As long as I don't care about human lives, even if faced with an uncontrollable situation, I could crush through it."

Saying this as Mountain Eagle looked at Kobe, whose expression was grim to the extreme, he shook his head and said, "For some people, 'unexpected situations' are actually an opportunity outside the budget!

A lot of money is locked down by the budget; the Pentagon's annual spending is 49 billion US Dollars, the budgets for each military branch are also fixed, but this money can only be used for things within the situation.

Without unexpected situations, where does special budget come from?"

After hearing this, Kobe felt cold on his back when he looked at Mountain Eagle, saying, "You mean all of this is because of money?"

Mountain Eagle picked up his glass, took a sip, shook his head and said, "'For money' is just a superficial understanding!

Some people can even give up power for money, this is a common phenomenon in society nowadays...

When people face the temptation of money, many will step by step give up their own rights under the lure of capital and desire.

You're an investigator for a law enforcement agency, and most of what you see is representatives of power chasing money, going so far as to rent-seek power for the price of their held resources.

But the operation of truly top-level power is not like that at all!

The process of chasing and even creating money is, in essence, expanding and managing their own scope of power!

While they profit with allies and sponsors, they showcase their power to the fullest!

And the expansion of power allows behind-the-scenes individuals to prioritize the acquisition and distribution of various resources, information, opportunities, and wealth, rather than simply gaining money.

The greater the influence of these individuals, the more impact they have on decisions about United States budget allocation, infrastructure construction, education investment, medical resource distribution, and so forth!

Sometimes you'll find their decisions directly relate to the flow and distribution of social resources...

Power can turn an ordinary person into a god because power can easily decide the fate of certain people and certain regions.

In today's United States, the military-industrial complex represents a part of the power...

Because your military is essentially a depreciating war machine, it needs to continuously export warfare to maintain its value, while simultaneously creating astonishing economic value and technological achievements.

You always call them greedy, but you can do nothing about them because it's embedded in your system, deeply linked to your own interests.

Without them, you have no sense of security!

How will you fight them?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head a bit dejectedly and looked at Kobe, who was staring at him with a hopeful gaze, sighed and said, "Don't look at me like that, you can't be their opponent, and neither can I...

You have such a dense negative energy; every time we chat, I gather a lot of negative information.

I'm considering whether I should just return to Brown Bear Camp; I don't have the qualification to intervene in the matters here!"

Kobe rubbed his cheeks vigorously after listening, then looked at Mountain Eagle, who seemed to want to retreat a bit, and seriously said, "Mountain, we have to stop those people from doing stupid things!"

Mountain Eagle listened, frowned at Kobe, and said, "What can I do? Sit here waiting for the appearance of Death Angel, and then shoot him during his mission?"

Kobe took out his phone and glanced at it then said with a slightly odd tone, "Brand Russell will be sent by plane to Anchorage within 48 hours...

According to the itinerary, he will take a helicopter to a private prison built from a freighter off the coast of Alaska after landing.

Based on my experience, the people in the prison will torture Brand Russell there.

This should originally be a 'normal procedure' taken by the Department of Homeland Security to circumvent surveillance risks while concealing the disappearance of VX nerve gas materials, but now I feel something is off..."

Kobe stared into Mountain Eagle's eyes and said, "Mountain, you've always felt that Brand Russell is not important...

If Death Angel has an understanding with the United States side, then Brand Russell indeed is not important other than diverting the attention of people like me.

But the emergence of that prison tells me, things aren't quite what we thought."

Mountain Eagle didn't understand, curiously asked, "What do you mean? What's special about that prison?"

Kobe lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then turned to look around, ensuring no one could hear their conversation, before speaking in a low voice, "If Brand Russell is part of the transaction that Death Angel wants to execute, then I guess...

His target might not be Brand Russell at all, but that sea prison."

Mountain Eagle knew some things he shouldn't inquire about, but he couldn't help asking with curiosity, "What's inside the prison?"

Kobe pondered for a while and said, "People only know about Guantanamo Prison and know that Titan Company operates the most discreet part of that prison..."

Mountain Eagle listened and waved his hand, saying, "We all know Titan Company was investigated and fined several years ago for the Guantanamo prisoner abuse incident for taking the blame for the intelligence department.

You mentioned Titan Company, so what connection does that sea prison have with Titan Company?"

Kobe leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, "Titan Company is one of the biggest contractors in the United States, they operate over 50% of the private prisons or black jails set by United States intelligence organizations across the globe.

After capturing important figures, United States intelligence organizations or military usually send them to those prisons and black jails.

Titan Company's first bucket of money wasn't from contracting fees but from extortion through those important prisoners.

Off the coast of Alaska, that sea prison holds the prisoners of highest value.

Among them are Middle Eastern tycoons, important political figures, and high-ranking members of terrorist organizations."

Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "Do you think Death Angel wants to exploit Brand Russell's issue to deceive the United States, use him to locate the sea prison, and then rescue some important individuals, right?"

Kobe nodded and shook his head, said, "It should be more than that, but we know too little about everything..."

Just when Mountain Eagle wanted to continue asking, two cars stopped in the parking space in front of the restaurant, and seven men with obvious violent traits and carrying large backpacks got off the car and aggressively walked towards the restaurant.

The restaurant's waiter went up a little nervously to inquire, when a few men pulled out MP7 submachine guns hidden in their jackets...

"Tat-tat-tat..."

Upstairs, Mountain Eagle instinctively turned his head to look, just as he was about to stand up and evacuate...

"Boom..."
