Rebirth of England.

Chapter 934 Unusual

It was a drizzling night in London.

After there was another knock on the study door, Barron put the book in his hand on the table and saw Alia walking in with a cup of hot tea.

Placing the exquisite bone china teacup on the table, she whispered to Barron:
"Your Highness, Mr. Inkster has arrived."

"Let him in."

Zhan Yan gave Barron a sweet smile, and this nominal life assistant, and in fact personal maid, turned 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 solemn, and he said slowly:
"We have been monitoring McKenna III of the Navigation Group, but for the sake of secrecy, our actions are relatively cautious..."

Barron naturally did not think that after he fought back against Vanguard over the Sinclair Group and played a trick on them on the international gold price, the other party would stop.

Therefore, the intelligence system under his control tried to monitor the chairman of Vanguard Group, McKenna III, to a certain extent, in order to discover as early as possible any plans that were unfavorable to them.

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

Nigel Inkster says:
"But you know, it's normal for these Wall Street capitals to cooperate with each other, so we need to plan for a longer period of time and analyze the intelligence we get to determine the anomalies. We also need to find opportunities to monitor in more ways..."

“I hope to see results…”

Barron understood that what Nigel said made sense. After all, as the chairman of Vanguard Group, McKenna III would be involved in many more secret operations, such as cooperating with other Wall Street capitals to "hunt" and meeting with relevant officials to obtain more information that would not be disclosed to the general public...

"We have also discovered something unusual, Your Highness. The most special thing is that McKenna III had two relatively secret meetings last month. Although we did not take the risk to obtain more information the first time, we finally confirmed the person he met in the second time..."

Nigel Inkster opened the file he had brought and gently pushed it towards Barron.

What Barron saw was a photo sandwiched between files...

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

If the original time and space were followed, then the "Dangerous David", David Petraeus, the CIA director who took office in 2011, should have resigned last year because of an extramarital affair scandal.

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

As a result, David Petraeus was able to avoid the outbreak of the extramarital affair scandal and has remained in the position of CIA director until now.

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

In the summer of 2012, a socialite called the police and claimed that she had been threatened by anonymous emails...

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

The FBI and the CIA have always been at odds with each other. Now that the FBI has obtained the "dirty information" of the CIA boss, it is certainly impossible for them to help cover it up...so the extramarital affair between the CIA director and the beautiful reporter was exposed.

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

Therefore, David Petraeus, the then CIA director who had a promising future and was considered a possible contender for the future president of the United States, had to choose to resign.

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

Now, David Petraeus learned that his extramarital affair with the beautiful reporter was known to others after Barron sent someone to "kindly remind" him. For the sake of his own future, he dealt with the matter.

This would have prevented the incident in which the beautiful journalist Paula Broadwell used David Petraeus's email to issue anonymous threats, thus avoiding the FBI's involvement and making the 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 if he has a relatively "harmonious" relationship with Barron, it is still impossible for him to provide him with any intelligence. At most, the two sides will reach a tacit understanding on certain things.

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

But this was enough to arouse Barron's vigilance.

"Increase the charges against McKenna III..."

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

"There is also the monitoring force of Michael Morell. However, we need to pay special attention to the monitoring of Michael Morell and be cautious so as not to attract the attention of the CIA."

"Okay, Your Highness the Duke."

"in addition……"

Barron looked at Nigel Inkster and said:

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

The "Alex" he mentioned is 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 needs more specific information, Nigel needs to step in to persuade him.

"Ok."

Nigel Inkster sighed slightly and said to Barron:
"I will go and speak to him, Your Highness."
