Not everyone at the MI6 headquarters next to the Thames in London is on holiday.
On this traditional Western holiday, MI6 Director Philips is working overtime for no apparent reason.
He held in his hand a briefing note that intelligence analysts had produced overnight.
The Nightshade Project that suddenly appeared on the Internet triggered the keywords of the MI6 security system.
This is a plan that has been in the dust for almost thirty years, and it should not appear at this time.
The content involved here is really horrifying. Although the personnel recorded in it have died of old age, Dayang and the United States still started cleanup activities just in case.
However, Frank Moses and others from the CIA managed to escape pursuit.
When did Americans become so useless?
Director Philips was in a very bad mood. Anyone who was pulled over to work overtime on Christmas Day would be in a bad mood.
But as the boss here, he can certainly pass on this unhappiness to others.
There was a knock on the office door, and the director knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
Rachel Dalton came in from the door, "Sir, are you looking for me?"
Director Philips took off his glasses and gave the other party a kind smile.
The woman in front of me had demonstrated her excellent intelligence gathering and commanding abilities during the previous Operation Beihan.
"Major, nice to see you."
The director stood up from his seat enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.
Rachel Dalton was a little flattered by this warm reception.
"I have a task for you today, and I think you are capable of it."
Major Dalton put on an expression that meant he was listening carefully.
"I want you to reorganize Division 20."
This is the reason why the Director-General called for him today.
The previous operation of Division 20 in Macau was a complete failure, and almost all members were arrested.
This made MI6 lose a lot of face. Although the subsequent cleanup operations were completed well, Division 20 was considered useless.
Although many people think that there is something wrong with this model of Branch 20, the Director does not think so.
Because before this, Alizee Grant and Division 20 had indeed solved many tasks that MI6 could not handle personally.
This knife is really easy to use, and since this department is not recognized, even if something goes wrong, you don't have any worries.
Just like the situation in Hong Kong and Macau, even if China arrests people, the identities of these operators have been falsified, and Da Ying cannot be traced at all.
If it weren't for their delay in destroying the data, MI6 wouldn't even have to come forward to clean up the portal, and the resolution of the incident would be much easier.
Rachel Dalton certainly doesn't want to take over this mess. She knows exactly what kind of department Division 20 is.
The director seemed to understand her thoughts, "I understand your concerns, but please believe me, none of the things you worry about will happen."
"You have to know that the command of Division 20 was not in the hands of MI6. It was more under the command of the intelligence department of the Ministry of Defense."
The director skillfully passed the blame to the Ministry of National Defense.
But this is not enough to dispel Dalton's concerns, because she knows very well that the department she works for is really inappropriate when it comes to people.
"I will give you the greatest autonomy. You can mobilize any personnel you think is appropriate, and of course there will be logistical support."
This sentence made Dalton's heart move. If she was given enough autonomy, this matter would not be impossible.
Frontline operations are all about resources. Whoever can secure more resources will have more opportunities.
The director laughed in his heart. He knew very well that the woman in front of him would not refuse this proposal.
If you want to be promoted quickly in the MI6 intelligence system, front-line deployment is of course the most efficient way.
The fact that Dalton was able to reach her current level at such a young age has a lot to do with her many years of participation in front-line operations.
This woman is actually very ambitious. As long as the conditions are favorable enough, she will certainly not refuse the opportunity to command a front-line department.
Although the other party may not know it clearly, what the director said to Alijie Grant was almost exactly the same as before.
He handed a piece of information to Rachel Dalton. When the other party took it, the Director knew that he would soon have another useful knife that could be thrown away at any time.
"Of course, before that, I need you to intercept a few people."
This other piece of information is of course Frank Moses and his friends, uh, old friends.
"My suggestion is that you'd better find your senior, Victoria Wensig."
Dalton was shocked by the photo in front of him. The old lady above was a legend of MI6, the kind of legend written into textbooks.
"Find Victoria and tell her that if she gets on the wrong team again this time, she will truly enter the history books."
Of course, the CIA and MI6 were angry about what happened in New York before, but that time it was obvious that the CIA did something lax.
So it's understandable that Victoria, a retiree, helped an old friend.
But this time it's different. Nightshade's influence is too great, and until now they still don't know where the device is.
The researcher who has been imprisoned by them has not disclosed this information for decades.
And now if Frank Moses follows the clues to find him, their target must be this talented scientist named Edward Bailey.
They now have two choices: use thunder to kill Frank Moses and other insiders who were inexplicably involved.
The other is to use Edward Bailey as bait to find this miniature nuclear device.
How did Edward Bailey achieve this mercury-red nuclear bomb that cannot be realized with current technology 30 years ago.
He believes that if he can find the real thing, he can definitely take Dayang's nuclear technology to several levels.
Dalton received two heavy documents, and she knew that her Christmas was in ruins.
But for a workaholic like her, this made her completely excited.
It's so fun to build Division 20 in your own way, with legendary agents and mysterious projects from the Cold War era.
…
In Langley, Virginia, the United States, CIA Director George Blake also did not rest.
The problems he has to face are more troublesome than Da Ying.
A hidden intelligence site of the Department of Homeland Security was bombed, and all the intelligence personnel inside were killed.
At that time, they took Frank Moses back for interrogation, but now the other party believes that the CIA did this and asked him to explain.
George Blake just felt that these people were really a bunch of mad dogs.
He asked almost all the operatives, and it was definitely not their fault.
The question now becomes, whose bastard is the one who put the blame on them.
