Chapter 77 Intelligence Personnel: Dancer in the Dark, Behind the Stage of History (3)
However, an intelligence officer will never be able to confront the government, and this also dooms them to misfortune.These traitorous intelligence officers are often arrested by the government and spend the rest of their lives in prison.

§§§Section [-] Intelligence Agents Walking on Knives' Edges

The life of intelligence personnel is full of contradictions and struggles. They use one life to cover another life, and the process of betrayal from one life to another.From this identity to that identity, neither identity can be used as the basis for maintaining a normal intimate relationship with others.

Because the intelligence personnel have different identities, they must shuttle between different lives, which means that any sincere and stable emotional connection must be abandoned at any time.Although he devotes his life to the country at any time, more importantly, his spirit is still talked about by everyone.Here, the FBI tells you the story of Margarissa Chiaquiyed Jura, a double-intelligence agent who walks on the knife's edge.

In October 1945, just after the end of World War II, a Dutch newspaper publicly disclosed that from March 10 to April 1942, British intelligence agencies deliberately sacrificed dozens of Dutch intelligence personnel in the "Arctic War" carefully designed by the Germans. Operation "to confuse Hitler and his top generals into believing that Allied forces would land in Holland.As soon as the news came out, the Dutch were furious, and the Dutch Parliament even asked the British government to publicly accuse and investigate the incident.For decades, the mystery of "Operation Arctic" has entangled Britain and the Netherlands, becoming a difficult mystery in World War II.

A Dutch woman named Margarissa Kiaquiyed Jura was born in 1873 in Friesland, the Netherlands.She was once a famous red dancer in the local nightclub and became popular in Europe.Later, the god of fate made her a double intelligence officer, and there were not a few senior officers in the German and French armies who were seduced by her during the "First World War".She sent information to each other alternately, causing heavy losses to both parties. In 1917, her actions were finally detected by French intelligence agencies, who arrested her in London and executed her in the village of Vincennes on the outskirts of Paris shortly after she was escorted back to France.

In 1996, the Dutch government suddenly announced a new measure to build a memorial hall for Margarissa in her hometown, completely restoring her reputation.The person in charge of the memorial hall explained: Margarissa used her dual identity to deal with Germany and France, and secretly did a lot of beneficial things for the Netherlands.In order to make herself a contribution to the country, she did not hesitate to bear the burden of humiliation and sacrificed everything personally.

The spy activities of intelligence personnel in times of war are easy to arouse people's vigilance.But in peacetime, people tend to ignore the struggle between intelligence personnel and counterintelligence personnel, let alone understand that the sharpness and intensity of this struggle sometimes even exceeds that of wartime.

Although there has been no global war since the end of the Second World War, the international situation is turbulent and changeable, and regional conflicts and wars continue to occur.It was during this period that the largest intelligence organization in human history was produced, spending the most money on secret activities, and using unprecedentedly complex and secret means of intelligence personnel to carry out activities ranging from intelligence, psychological warfare, instigating rebellion to political subversion, paramilitary Actions and other sabotage activities.

For intelligence officers in peacetime, their careers will be extended due to the continuation of peace, and they may even linger on the road of intelligence officers for a lifetime.The price of wandering is heavy. Many people have spent most of their lives on this, and some people have shaken their will under the bewitchment of the environment.

According to "Daily Telegraph", "The Independent" and other media reports, in the history of British intelligence personnel, officials of many important agencies have been reduced to foreign intelligence agencies. Most of the intelligence personnel are seduced by beauty.However, a newly declassified document from the National Archives of the United Kingdom shows that for the British navy captain David Bingham who was arrested in 1971, his motives for serving as an intelligence officer for the former Soviet Union were somewhat unusual. His wife loves gambling and spends money, so he has to be an intelligence officer to pay his wife's debts.

In the late 20s, David Bingham was a sonar specialist on Navy submarines and frigates.Due to work needs, he has free access to the highly classified British nuclear weapons documents.David Bingham's intelligence operations went unnoticed until one time when he tried to get "exclusive information" from his superiors in Portsmouth. After being arrested in August 60, David Bingham confessed all his intelligence officers' behavior to the British intelligence agency, hoping to get a lenient sentence from the organization.

After being arrested, David Bingham confessed that although he and his wife raised four children together, his wife did not take care of the family at all and spent money like water.His wife goes to the shopping mall every week to make crazy purchases, and there are nearly ten sets of expensive fur coats at home.What's more frightening is that his wife is also addicted to gambling, and she loses every gamble. Not only did she spend all of David Bingham's hard-earned savings, but she also owed a huge debt.

In desperation, the couple had to rack their brains to find another way of making money. In October 1969, by chance, David Bingham's wife got on the line with a secret agent of the former Soviet intelligence agency in the UK, and immediately recommended to the latter that "work in a sensitive department of the navy" "My husband, the two sides hit it off.

Later, David Bingham received a telegram from his wife saying that she was in debt again and that the children had been placed in the care of others.After hearing the news, David Bingham immediately asked for family leave and hurried home.When David Bingham returned to the ship, he told his superiors with a relaxed expression that the family dispute had been fully resolved.At that time, no one thought that his so-called "complete solution" was actually the current Soviet intelligence personnel. Two months later, David Bingham began his career as an intelligence officer.

From January 1970 to July 1, David Bingham secretly sent eight top-secret documents about naval combat strategies and weapons to the former Soviet intelligence agencies, on condition that the latter helped his wife pay off all debts owed.But unfortunately, David Bingham only received a mere £1971 in total, and he was already in jail before paying off his wife's debts.According to a senior commander, the documents that David Bingham sent to the former Soviet intelligence were "invaluable in money".

§§§Section [-] Life with a Thousand Faces in the Darkness

The professional nature of intelligence personnel determines that the activities of intelligence personnel must be carried out secretly, whether at home or abroad.Especially in foreign countries, the activities of intelligence personnel are illegal. Once their true identities are exposed, they may be imprisoned or even killed.Therefore, before carrying out spy missions, spy agencies must first choose a channel to install intelligence personnel. On the surface, they must not only comply with the laws of the host country, but also conform to people's usual way of thinking, so as to avoid suspicion.As important as channel selection is identifying the intelligence personnel who are qualified for the task and designing the most appropriate cover identity for them.Here, the FBI will introduce Rudolf Abel, a former Soviet intelligence officer known as the "contemporary ace intelligence officer", and show the life of an intelligence officer with many faces through his story.

Rudolf Abel, a former Soviet intelligence officer, was a KGB colonel and was known as the "contemporary ace intelligence officer".Won the "Iron Cross" medal for sneaking into Germany in World War II.Rudolf Abel is proficient in six languages, and is also interested in photography, painting, literature, etc.Rudolf Abel is well versed in espionage skills, good at disguising, pretending to be what he looks like, and successfully playing various roles.Western intelligence agencies called him "the man with a thousand faces".Rudolf Abel's success in concealing his identity as an intelligence officer has been used as a textbook for the education and training of novice intelligence personnel.

Rudolf Abel was born in Moscow in July 1904. He was very clever since he was a child, and he was proficient in six languages ​​at the age of 7, including German, Polish, and Hebrew. In 20, Rudolf Abel sneaked into Poland occupied by the German army, dressed himself as a German expatriate who fanatically worshiped Nazism, successfully joined the German army and the Nazi party, and soon entered the intelligence bureau of the German Supreme Command as a driver. And followed the German army to the battlefield of the former Soviet Union.

In 1941, Rudolf Abel's unit surrounded a Soviet unit.However, the Soviet army resisted desperately, but was outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties.Suddenly, an astonishing scene appeared on the battlefield: the Soviet army used all remaining firepower to cover a heavy tank desperately to break through.Faced with this situation, the German commander immediately realized that there must be unusual characters or documents in the tank, so he immediately ordered outstanding officers and soldiers to organize a commando team and rush to intercept it.

However, in front of the raining firepower of the Soviet army, the commandos fell in batches, and the German commander stomped his feet in anger.Rudolph Abel has been watching the battlefield closely from the side, very calm.Suddenly, he found that the tank was struggling, and immediately realized that the people inside might have died.At that time, when the last batch of commandos were retreating and a new commando had not yet been formed, Rudolf Abel immediately stood up with a gun and explosives in his arms: "Please allow me to serve the Führer with my life!" The German commander voted for him. Approval and expectant glances, and immediate approval.Rudolph Abel stepped forward at a high speed, and when he approached the tank, he skillfully took advantage of the dead angle of the Soviet army's shooting, climbed up the tank, and quickly got into the tank. Sure enough, no one could move inside. Files are in the tank.Rudolf Abel immediately burned the secret document, jumped up quickly, and blew up the tank.The angry Soviet bullets shot at him, and Rudolph Abel was seriously injured and lost consciousness.When he woke up, he was already lying in the hospital.The German commander was overwhelmed by Rudolf Abel's bravery, awarded him an "Iron Cross" medal, and promoted him to intelligence officer.

At the same time, a dramatic scene appeared. Rudolf Abel was awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" and awarded a medal by the Kremlin.Because Rudolf Abel made full use of the power and trust given by the Nazis to steal a large number of core secrets.Rudolf Abel once stole the contents of the secret meeting in Switzerland between representatives of Gestapo chief Himmler and American intelligence chief Dulles.It is unprecedented in the history of the world's intelligence personnel that the opposing sides give the highest reward at the same time.

In 1948, Rudolph Abel sneaked into the United States by bypassing Canada and was responsible for the KGB's espionage activities in the United States and North America. In 1950, Rudolf Abel established the secret headquarters of the former Soviet intelligence personnel organization in New York, USA.The life of an intelligence officer is full of dangers. In 1957, a new assistant of Rudolph Abel, Hechelen, suddenly betrayed him and betrayed him, without him knowing it.The CIA was overjoyed, and Rudolph Abel was their dream spy.The head of the CIA decided to secretly arrest Rudolph Abel in an attempt to turn him into a double intelligence officer secretly working for the United States.

One day, plainclothes officers from the CIA broke into Rudolph Abel's apartment. At this moment, he remained calm and spoke firmly.At this time, Rudolph Abel's first thought was not personal safety, but a supermicro codebook, so he immediately tried to distract the other party's attention, pinched the codebook in the palm of his hand as if by magic, and then calmly asked to go to the bathroom.At the moment of flushing, Rudolf Abel threw the code book into the tumbling water and washed it away, but the American agents behind all this did not notice it.Then, Rudolf Abel thought that the transcribed telegram was still placed under a ball of white paper, so he didn't show his face, and suddenly saw the oil painting on the drawing board that he hadn't finished. Said: "What's the use of keeping it." He crumpled the ball of white paper and the telegram casually, and used it to erase all the oil paintings.The mass of paper is quickly saturated with paint.Finally, Rudolph Abel thought that there was still a microfilm in the tie pin on his chest, which contained important instructions from the headquarters.However, by this time he had been escorted into the car.Rudolph Abel pretended to press the pin casually, and the agent next to him noticed it, took it off, found nothing, and gave it back to him.Rudolf Abel touched the pin and was overjoyed, the film had dropped silently into the dimly lit car.Rudolph Abel let out a long sigh of relief, because all the confidential documents had been safely disposed of at this time.

On November 1957, 11, 15-year-old Rudolph Abel was sentenced to 53 years in prison for the crime of intelligence personnel in the United States.But, puzzlingly, Rudolf Abel was "surprisingly calm" when he heard the sentence, which for him effectively amounted to life in prison.Rudolph Abel's lawyer was very surprised by this: "I was so impressed by the self-control of this calm professional intelligence officer." In fact, Rudolf Abel only stayed in prison for 30 years. more than a year. On February 4, 1962, the former Soviet Union exchanged Rudolf Abel for Rudolf Abel on the Glienicke Bridge connecting West Berlin and Potsdam with Powers, the pilot of the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane shot down by the former Soviet Union.

Only by using legal and appropriate identities can intelligence personnel hide their identities well and complete tasks more safely.Therefore, it can be said that intelligence personnel without cover identities do not exist at all. However, the cover identities used by intelligence personnel can be described as varied, ranging from diplomats in suits and leather shoes to hotel waiters, and even dancers in romantic places. It's an intelligence officer.

The intelligence personnel who have covered their identities are like show stars with different styles. Under the cover of their identities, they launched a unique competition for intelligence personnel, and performed a different kind of life with thousands of faces on the stage without lights.Generally speaking, the usual cover identities of intelligence personnel are diplomats, journalists, businessmen and scholars.
