Rebirth of England.
Chapter 955 Emergency
Chapter 955 Emergency
"Believe me, Your Highness, if I have any news in advance, I will inform you first..."
Lloyd told Barron on the phone:
"But I feel that the SEC's actions this time are not simple..."
Barron also considered what Lloyd said, and the SEC's move was unusual.
You know, now after the subprime mortgage crisis, the US stock market has just recovered - and the Federal Reserve's three consecutive quantitative easing policies since the subprime mortgage crisis were aimed at alleviating the domestic liquidity depletion caused by the subprime mortgage crisis through "waterproofing" and allowing the economy to recover.
Moreover, the financial groups investigated by the SEC this time, such as DS Capital, Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, can be said to be the main forces that are "bullish" on the US stock market this time. From this perspective, even if there is evidence of "illegal operations", for the sake of the overall situation, an investigation should not be conducted at this time, which will have a negative impact on the recovering US stock market...
unless……
There is a strong push to investigate these companies even if it has a negative impact on America's recovery...
"We need more information to analyze the current situation, Mr. Trankfen. I think you should mobilize your connections to deal with it."
Although Henry Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, has stepped down as U.S. Treasury Secretary in 2009, Goldman Sachs still has many connections in the U.S. government departments. Now both sides need to cooperate to deal with this matter.
"We will do this, Your Highness, but we also need your strength..."
Hearing Lloyd's words, Barron responded:
"I have already been in contact with our friends, and I will go to the United States soon to respond."
……
Billow Castle, Northern Ireland.
In fact, in England, the place that Barron considers as the safest is not his residence in London, nor Chatsworth House, but Billow Castle. Next to Billow Castle is the original training camp of the Protector Security Company. After being incorporated into the G4S Group, it also became the training camp of the G4S Group, with more than 200 military personnel stationed there for a long time.
There is a prison underground in the Bilu Castle. It was built a long time ago. Barron's life assistant Alia was once guarded here.
Now, new "guests" have arrived here. Those people who were captured by the special operations team in London were sent here overnight and were properly "treated".
However, what annoyed Mikhail was that when the special operations team raided these people in London, two of them died on the spot - it was not caused by the special operations team, but after realizing that they were surrounded, the two men immediately bit off a denture containing cyanide in their mouths and committed suicide.
It can be said that this kind of decisiveness and ruthlessness is obviously not something that an ordinary agent can explain.
Mikhail confirmed this during the interrogation of other people - those who were arrested readily revealed their identity as "CIA agents" without hiding much.
This did not surprise Mikhail. Often these professional agents knew very well that it was almost impossible for them to withstand all kinds of torture and not reveal any information after being captured alive. Without an iron will beyond ordinary people, it was impossible to do this. And there were very few such people. For example, the CIA had tens of thousands of overseas agents, and many of them were "rookies" who had not received much training. How could they all be "supermen"?
Mikhail learned from these CIA agents that they were assigned to England to cooperate with two "intelligence officers" to carry out activities. The two "intelligence officers" they were talking about were the two "death warriors" who committed suicide by taking poison, and the CIA agents were not clear about their specific identities.
As for the specific missions of the two assassins, the CIA agents knew nothing about them. The orders they received were only to assist and cover the missions of the two assassins.
The current situation is that Mikhail could only learn from the surviving CIA agents that this operation involved the Duke of Devonshire, so they have been extremely careful - the other party is the Duke of England, not just the kind with a nominal title, it can be said that London is his base camp.
Mikhail was naturally unwilling to accept this little bit of information, and he didn't care about the title of CIA agent at all.
As Barron's right-hand man, Mikhail knew clearly that the so-called orders from their superiors by these CIA agents, based on the "tacit understanding" between His Royal Highness the Duke and the CIA Director, were most likely not official instructions from the CIA, but rather private assignments from some powerful figure among them.
This can also explain the situation where the two people who are mainly responsible for the core tasks are most likely not from the CIA, but are assassins of a certain force.
Therefore, he continued to "put pressure" on the CIA agents in the Bilu Castle, and through some physical operations, he still got an important clue.
One of the CIA agents who was in charge of communicating directly with the two assassins suddenly remembered that he had accidentally learned that the person the two assassins were meeting was someone close to the Duke of Devonshire...
But the clues only go so far. After all other methods have been exhausted, the "Great Memory Restoration Technique" can no longer help the CIA agent remember more things, such as who that person is...
It seems that he really doesn't know.

But the clues obtained now have made Mikhail realize the urgency of the matter.
"We have used reasonable excuses to contact all the family members of His Royal Highness the Duke's security team, and found nothing unusual..."
Since the clues point to the security team closest to His Royal Highness the Duke, according to Mikhail's analysis, the most likely reason why the other party was able to "turn" the other party is the safety of his family.
After all, the security team that was able to enter His Royal Highness the Duke had already passed the most stringent background check, and the possibility that they were "two-faced" before was basically ruled out...
Of course, it is possible that he was turned against the Duke simply for greed, but the probability is relatively low - after all, the benefits must be commensurate with the serious consequences of betraying His Royal Highness the Duke.
Moreover, the situation is urgent now. First, we need to determine whether any family members of the security team members have been controlled. This is also the fastest way to identify the "traitor"...
"I have arranged the fastest plane to go to His Royal Highness the Duke..."
Mikhail said to his deputy:
"You need to hurry up and send someone to confirm whether the family members of all security team members are safe. You must confirm it with your own eyes. It is best to leave someone behind to continue to monitor it..."
