Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

When Cao Zhiqiang suddenly said that he would give Zhu Lin two choices and let her choose one of them, Zhu Lin was suddenly stunned because she never expected that the topic would suddenly turn like this.

Just when Zhu Lin was stunned, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly smiled: "Don't be anxious, think slowly, you don't have to answer me immediately! But no matter what you choose, I will definitely support you!"

"No need to wait!" Zhu Lin suddenly straightened up, stroked his temples, then looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a serious face and said, "I choose the first one!"

Cao Zhiqiang frowned deliberately: "The first one? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Zhu Lin nodded solemnly.

"Don't you regret it?" Cao Zhiqiang continued to frown, "It's still too late to regret it now!"

"I will never regret it!" Zhu Lin shook his head solemnly, "So, tell me the truth!"

However, Cao Zhiqiang raised his head and sighed: "Why bother, why bother? The more truth you know, the more unhappy you will be. You..."

"No need to say it." Zhu Lin waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "Zhiqiang, I understand what you mean, but I am not that kind of vulgar woman who knows what to do and what not to do."

After a brief pause, Zhu Lin continued: "Actually, I have long been suspicious of your rise and what you have done. I have long felt that it was abnormal. Now it seems that there is indeed something hidden.

Originally, I wanted to ask you, but I felt awkward about my identity.

But now that you are willing to say this, it means that you recognize me.

Whether it's because of the kids or something else, I don't think it matters.

The important thing is that I found that only when I am with you can I be truly happy and feel that my life has not been in vain!

At the same time, I am also a patriotic person.

It’s just that I didn’t have the chance before.

If given the opportunity now, of course I would be happy to serve the country.

So, Zhiqiang, stop hiding it and tell me your situation.

I promise to keep my mouth shut, promise to keep secrets, and cover for you.

If necessary, I am also willing to join the organization behind you.

In short, let alone serving the country and the people, even if it is for you and the child in my belly, I cannot let you take risks alone. "

Speaking of this, Zhu Lin grabbed one of Cao Zhiqiang's hands, looked at Cao Zhiqiang affectionately and said: "In ancient times, it was said that the husband encouraged the wife to follow her.

No matter whether I can marry you or not in this life, I am willing to dedicate everything to you and our children! "

Seeing Zhu Lin like this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Zhu Lin seriously and held Zhu Lin's hand with his backhand: "Are you really decided?"

"Decided!" Zhu Lin nodded.

"No regrets?"

"No regrets!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang closed his eyes again and sighed, as if he was having a final battle between heaven and man, and he seemed to be organizing his words.

Well, in fact, what Cao Zhiqiang did was all acting.

He deliberately gave Zhu Lin two choices for her to choose, but in fact he just forced her to choose the first one.

Without him, it was just because this was Cao Zhiqiang's deliberate behavior, and he had already figured out Zhu Lin's character and knew that she was not the kind of person who would be content with the status quo.

As for why he wanted to reveal the secret matter of "underground workers" to her and let her get involved, this was certainly not a whim, but the result of Cao Zhiqiang's careful consideration.

The biggest support for this idea is the subsystem of the system - the copy of "Road to the God of Love"!
That's right, before this copy of "God of Love" was opened, Cao Zhiqiang had never thought of leaking his identity as a part-time "secret agent" to the women around him, because it was too dangerous.

Originally, the most important thing for people engaged in underground work is to keep it secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better.

Once more people know, there is no guarantee that the secret will not be leaked.

Once the secret is leaked, Cao Zhiqiang may not be able to go abroad for the rest of his life, at least not to the Western world, because it is easy to be targeted by other countries' intelligence organizations.

Whether it's the CIA or the KGB, that's no joke.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang deceived a "fog" organization and actually operated it, he found that there were many difficulties.

If nothing else, it would be very troublesome to silently consume funds provided by the country and return these funds to the country.

Logically speaking, since Cao Zhiqiang wants to strengthen the country, it is okay to only give him things without paying for them.

But in this way, it is actually easier to arouse domestic vigilance.

After all, if you don’t want money, you must want something else, or you must have some other purpose.

Therefore, money must be needed, at least a little less, meaning, this is to reassure the country.

However, Cao Zhiqiang gave more and more things, more and more advanced, and the price naturally became higher and higher.

The country is now in dire straits and is short of money in various ways. It is really inappropriate to ask the country for money at this time.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang later changed to asking the country for treasury bonds, no foreign exchange, and no RMB. He just hoped to turn this part of the funds into sunk costs and try to alleviate the country's worries.

After all, the national debt of a country is different from the RMB in nature and cannot be directly circulated domestically.

Anyway, when the country's economy develops and becomes stronger in the future, this part of the national debt issued in advance will no longer put pressure on the country.

But it won’t work if it continues like this.

As time goes by, something will happen sooner or later.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang urgently needs to have a truly reliable person to help Cao Zhiqiang outside and make the "Mist" organization more real.

The reason for doing this is that Cao Zhiqiang wanted to provide himself with insurance and a way out.

Therefore, what Cao Zhiqiang wants to do is to provide appropriate support to the country and accelerate the country's technological progress without making the country suspicious of him. At least not to directly link those high-tech and cutting-edge equipment to Cao Zhiqiang.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Cao Zhiqiang did not directly hand over the technical data and high-end equipment signed in the system to the state in his own name. Instead, he went to great lengths to fabricate a "mysterious organization" and only handed it over to the state. Position yourself as a "middle broker". In fact, there are certain risks in doing so.

That's right from the beginning, there are some things that are easy to say.

But if every transaction in the future has to go through Cao Zhiqiang, then sooner or later he will be suspected.

At least, some people will wonder, if Cao Zhiqiang is controlled, will they be able to directly get the "fog" line?

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang compares his feelings with his own. If he were the superior, he would definitely think so.

It’s just that the contact between the two parties has just begun, and the cooperation has just begun. In addition, Cao Zhiqiang’s previous series of “shocking” operations, such as the White Swan bomber full of bombs and fuel, which unknowingly covered a certain beach in China, After shocking many high-level officials in the country, everything was peaceful for the time being.

To put it bluntly, the country at this time is actually more hungry for the "fog" organization, so it tries not to seek changes.

But once the country becomes stronger and has more transactions in the future, it may not have other ideas.

Therefore, for his own safety, Cao Zhiqiang needs to find some agents, or companions.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang plans to develop a few reliable "own people". Then, if there are related "secret transactions" in the future, he will no longer come forward explicitly, but will let his "companions" come forward.

At that time, Cao Zhiqiang can pretend to be "Misty" and notify a "companion" developed by Cao Zhiqiang to pick up the goods at the designated location.

On the surface, it seems that Cao Zhiqiang himself did not know about it, and he was part of someone else's "Misty" organization, directly doing business with the country through another contact.

The advantage of this is that it can spread risks, divert attention, make the fictional organization of Mist more vivid, and make Cao Zhiqiang no longer so special and attention-grabbing.

After all, you can only find one person to be the middleman, which is different from finding a group of people to be the middleman.

As for the development intermediary, you need to come forward yourself and both parties know this matter...

This is also normal!

Because many secret organizations with single-line connections need to have single-line communication and single-line development.

Cao Zhiqiang is the earliest intermediary liaison person of "Mist", and coupled with several successful cooperations in the past, both parties must have a certain degree of trust in Cao Zhiqiang.

Then it is normal for "Mist" to let Cao Zhiqiang develop reliable contacts on his own, and then conduct domestic transactions through those contacts developed by Cao Zhiqiang.

Not doing so would be abnormal.

The reason is also very simple, that is, if this is done, if the news is exposed in the future, it will only lose the line of Cao Zhiqiang's development, and the "fog" itself will not be exposed.

So if there really is an organization called "Mist", and from the standpoint of "Mist", it is understandable and the safest way for people to do this.

Of course, "Mist" is a domestic code name. After all, when Cao Zhiqiang mentioned the organization to Uncle Xu and Uncle Lin, he never said what the organization was called.

This is also a relatively reliable detail, that is, a real secret organization will not reveal the name of its organization casually.

By not revealing your name, you can maintain a sense of mystery and keep the other person from figuring out your way around it.

However, from the previous transactions of "Mist", coupled with Cao Zhiqiang's various hidden hints, and combined with the current international situation, there have actually been several domestic speculations about the true identity of "Mist".

The biggest guess is that the "fog" is related to the United States or Europe.

The relationship with the United States is very simple, that is, the United States is wooing our country at this time, but it cannot go too far on the surface. After all, it has to give an explanation to the country, so on the surface it is a lion, but secretly it is like half-selling and half-free. support, that’s normal.

As for Europe, it is related to geopolitics.

After all, in today's international situation, the struggle for hegemony between the two powers has emerged, and established Europe has long been marginalized.

If someone refuses to give up and wants to achieve greater glory, he must muddy the waters.

At present, the best choice is undoubtedly China, one of the five largest countries.

Although China is very poor now, it has a rich heritage.

Regardless of its land area, total resources, population size, and population quality, it is actually very powerful.

In particular, although China is poor, due to various reasons, it established a basic industrial system in the country.

No matter how backward this industrial system is, at least it exists, is very comprehensive, and can be self-sufficient.

Such a country is the best target for support.

Once China becomes strong, the world will be able to enter multipolarization. By then, European powers will also be able to fish in troubled waters and maybe have a chance to rise.

However, there are not many European countries that can do this, and even fewer are willing to do it.

To sum up, the only countries that can do this at present are probably Britain and France. Other countries do not yet have this strength.

What? Federal Republic of Germany?

The economy of the Federal Republic of Germany is very good at this time, but there are inherent flaws, and there are foreign troops stationed there, so it is basically impossible to have that kind of mobility.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang's previous operations were basically completed well. Not only did he successfully divert the attention of domestic high-level officials, but he also did not make anyone doubt his actual status here.

However, although it is safe for the time being, if you do not plan early and wait until problems arise before you think of solutions, it will be too late.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang has long thought about developing a few of his own people and joining the "misty middleman" organization.

Among them, Xu Chun and Anping are definitely not good enough.

Although these two people have rich agent skills and experience, after all, they are not their own people, but more like supervisors.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang has always been on guard against these two people.

In the past, Cao Zhiqiang has been worried about reliable candidates.

After all, what Cao Zhiqiang wants is not ordinary subordinates, but "real people" who will never betray and think about him at all times!
But this kind of "real one" is so hard to find!

After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and no one knows what others think.

It wasn't until the "Copy of the God of Love" was opened that Cao Zhiqiang's troubles of "no one could be trusted" came to an abrupt end. (End of chapter)
