Chapter 984: If the enemy goes, I can go too (Second update, please subscribe)

"…In the past eight months, the company has provided defense consulting services to Yemen through the Black Knight Company. Its air force personnel and some ground crews are basically employees of the Black Knights. The artillery and tank defense consultants are directly assigned to the battalion level…"

In the study of the official residence, Berlin reported the preparations in the Middle East one by one. This was the largest mission carried out by Hydra since its establishment, involving not only hundreds of agents, but also more than a dozen countries.

"Although we are currently implementing plans in three directions at the same time, Yemen, as the only official force, will be responsible for destroying the main force of the Saudi army. According to the analysis of the Black Knight Company, after eight months of training, the Yemeni army has basically become capable of fighting."

Berlin's wording was very clever - the ability to fight a war, which means being able to fight a war with Saudi Arabia, but that's all. After all, that place needs to import even a bar of soap, let alone bullets, and has no sustained combat capability at all.

"Ah, very good."

While nodding, Li Yian flipped through Berlin's report. Although the plan has not yet entered the final implementation stage, as the initiator, he is still very much looking forward to the implementation of the plan.

“Are there any problems with funding?”

"There is no problem with funding at the moment. Aramco and South Sea Petroleum have provided a total of $3800 million in funding, which is sufficient. And they have promised to provide the Yemeni government with a loan of no less than $2000 million once the operation begins."

To put it bluntly, war is about money.

As long as there is enough money, nothing will be a problem.

Li Yian nodded and said:
"Since there is no problem with funding and personnel training, can we start the operation now?"

"Yes, sir, but the time is not right yet. The personnel we sent to Saudi Arabia are currently in contact with all parties. We must wait until all preparations are complete before we can take action."

Nodding, Li Yian said.

"Well, this is your specialty, so you just need to implement it. I'm just asking casually."

Knowing that professional matters should be left to professionals and that laymen should never command professionals, Li Yian changed the subject and asked about some matters in Europe, especially Hungary.

Although it is very far away, we have to pay attention to it. After all, among the major events that followed, the Hungarian incident was an event that could not be ignored, and at the same time there was also the "Suez Crisis". These things happened in the last few months of this year and are more or less related.

"…At present, in Eastern Europe, the trend of opposing the Soviet model and Soviet control has always existed, especially in Poland and Hungary. After the death of Steel, under the impetus of the new Soviet leaders, the Soviet Union made a series of adjustments to the domestic and foreign policies of Eastern European countries. In Hungary, Imre Nagy, then Chairman of the Council of Ministers, implemented the "New Policy". Although due to the intervention of the Soviet Union, the "New Policy" was forced to be interrupted after 22 months of implementation. However, his idea of ​​breaking away from the Soviet model and opposing Soviet control still resonated with many people. After the "New Policy" was interrupted, Hungary returned to the old policy, and the domestic political and economic situation deteriorated... But the current situation is still under the control of the authorities."

Li Yian did not say anything about Berlin's analysis, but just asked:
"Do we have an intelligence station in Hungary?"

"certainly,"

Berlin raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Hungary was also a member of the Axis powers back then. Its Arrow Cross organization had a secret line of the Imperial Security Bureau. After the Soviet Union occupied Hungary, some members of the organization transformed themselves into the Hungarian National Security Team, the secret police under the leadership of the new regime. Well, we still have some people in the area and have already made contact."

In fact, this is the biggest advantage of "Hydra" - there are hidden lines in the East and West. There are also Hydra people in South American countries, which means that they are slightly behind in Asia. The reason why Nanyang has made great achievements in the field of intelligence is largely due to "Hydra". After all, it directly took over the overseas intelligence network that Sandezi has been operating for decades, and this also made the Secret Intelligence Service famous in the field of intelligence. It has extensive intelligence cooperation with the Central Intelligence Agency and MI6 of the United States. This cooperation is based on mutual benefit. If the Secret Intelligence Service does not provide them with useful intelligence, how can the other party share intelligence with them?
"At present, our infiltration into Hungary has far exceeded that of the United States. A few years ago, the CIA established a secret intelligence network in Hungary. However, as soon as those intelligence personnel entered Hungary, they were arrested by the National Security Team." When mentioning the infiltration of Americans, Berlin said with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"They thought that the Iron Curtain countries were like any other countries, and that they could infiltrate them by simply dropping a few agents in."

"This is the difference between countries. When dealing with those countries, we absolutely cannot use common sense. We must realize that they are completely different from us."

Li Yi stood up from his desk and paced around the office. He stood in front of the window, looking at the blue sky in the distance. There were only a few sparse clouds in the clear sky, and occasionally a few birds flew across the sky.

The world was so peaceful, but who could have imagined that just over a month later, crises would occur one after another around the world?
Crisis...Danger is full of opportunities!
Can Nanyang seize this opportunity?

After turning around, Li Yian looked at the head of Nanyang's secret intelligence in front of him. "Hydra" is the other side of the Secret Intelligence Service.

After taking a few puffs of his cigar, Li Yian sat down at the table, put the remaining cigar into the ashtray, nodded his head towards the file, thought for a while, and then asked:
"If... I mean, if there is a dramatic change in Hungary in the future, I mean internal unrest or even an armed uprising, can we do something there?"

The Hungarian incident is a very important matter for any role. If something can be done, it will only benefit Nanyang. For Li Yian, who wanted to play a role in the "Suez Canal Crisis" and seek benefits, he decided to make good use of this Hungarian incident to achieve an ulterior purpose. Therefore, some things must be planned in advance.

"Armed uprising?"

Berlin said almost subconsciously.

"That's impossible, sir. Hungary is not like other countries. They will use tanks and machine guns to eliminate such signs before it happens. If the Hungarians don't cooperate, the Soviets will do it for them."

Berlin knew the Russians very well, and he had not even forgotten what happened in Germany a few years ago.

"What did the Russians do in Berlin three years ago when workers were protesting against forced extensions of working hours? They sent thousands of tanks and armored vehicles into Berlin, and then when the Russians machine-gunned those people, it was a massacre. Your Excellency, the Russians had no scruples about that."

Berlin reminded, causing Li Yian to nod slightly and speak.

"Yes, the Russians have no scruples. If they can't solve the problem, then they will solve the person who raised the problem. The Russians are very good at this kind of thing, but..."

After a pause, Li Yian's mouth slightly raised.

"When something happens, even if the Russians eventually solve the problem, it also proves from another perspective that the Soviet Union has lost control over certain countries. What we need is to amplify this loss of control at the appropriate time, or even turn this loss of control into a war, or at least an armed conflict."

Looking back at Berlin, Li Yian raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"As I said before, the Russians can use infiltration to force war on us and destroy our good situation. Then we can also use their own methods to defeat them... Well, to use the old saying in Tangshan - if the enemy can go, we can go too! We can't just wait at home for trouble to come to us."

When saying this, Li Yian's eyes were firm. Listen - the horn of war has sounded!
