Chapter 918: Disaster Comes
"What I have to tell you is that every decision you make in this office will affect the life and death of countless people." The person in charge looked at the silent c and said word by word: "These people, including our intelligence personnel, collaborators, informants..."
But C's lips squirmed for a moment, as if they were trying to say something. Unfortunately, the person in charge did not intend to listen. He took out an envelope from the lining of his suit and handed it to C: "This is my resignation report. From this moment on, I just told you something in my personal capacity."
The person in charge's actions made C stunned. He had no idea that the person in charge, who could retire in just a few months, would have chosen to resign so resolutely!
"I can tell you clearly that you have provoked a large group of extremely vicious enemies for England. I have already felt powerless about it. I can't handle my errands with my salary. So I chose to resign..."
C swallowed a saliva, and he knew that the person in charge was one of the most prestigious leaders in the entire mi6. It was even reported that he would take over C's position as the new leader.
For this reason, C, who later took office, was actually guarded against this new man and had a little grudge. So he was instructed to operate many things without telling the person in charge. The specific operation handler was also a former subordinate he found from the foreign affairs department.
It has to be said that foreign affairs personnel are a bit scammed to engage in intelligence work. It is already difficult to cultivate a versatile versatile in this era, and what they need more is specialist.
Moreover, these people are not all-rounders, so they are naturally doing a lot of things. Fortunately, the person in charge seems to have no complaints and silently wiped the newly appointed C's butt countless times.
He cleaned up a lot of messes that he and his subordinates messed up. But the more this person was, the more he was guarding against him.
Until now, the person in charge is really about to resign, but C is confused. Is he... really leaving?! Looking at the resignation letter placed on the table, C finally shivered without surprise!
He actually knew better than anyone else, what would happen to the entire mi6 if the person in charge left! Almost all those who could do things were transferred away by C in various ways and excuses.
The reason is very simple. They are basically supporters or sympathizers of the person in charge.c does not want anyone in the department they are in charge of has higher authority than themselves.
What's more, this position is something he has always longed for. Therefore, he does not allow himself to be replaced by others in this position.
"Carter, are you... really going to quit?!" c finally couldn't help it, stood up and leaned forward and looked at the person in charge named Carter incredibly. He even subconsciously called out his name instead of the code name.
"You should call me m, this is the office." Cartel glanced at c in a plain manner and whispered: "Isn't this something you have always expected?! OK, you can let go now. I'm no longer your obstacle."
C couldn't help but stagnate when he heard this, m looked at C with a smile and said softly: "Since I'm leaving, I don't mind telling you something that I'm not good at when I'm your subordinate..."
"First of all, intelligence work is not diplomatic work. It is obviously wrong for you to use diplomatic methods to deal with intelligence." C seemed to want to refute, but M waved his hand and said, "You can listen to me because I will only say this time. After that, you will never see me again and you will never hear me again."
c finally chose to sit down and listen to m's statement.
"I am not familiar with diplomatic work, but diplomacy is always an extension of political work." m looked at c and said in a deep voice: "And our intelligence work is the forefront of politics and diplomacy. Your decisions often require our intelligence to support it."
"A piece of information, especially important information, is only a line of words, and what you hear may be just a sentence of information. But this information is often obtained by dozens or even hundreds of people, after unremitting efforts, at the risk of their lives."
He took a deep breath and pressed his hands on the table and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of this, you may like to watch 007. James Bond. And the only thing that is similar to the movie is that we also need to act."
"The difference is that actors can start over after being tortured for at most, at most they can take some film. If we do, we cannot start over again. The best situation is to be redeemed after torture. The worst situation is to be tortured for several months or even years before they are executed."
M said to c in a low voice: "Have you ever seen someone tortured?! Of course, you are engaged in diplomatic work and naturally I have never seen him. I have tortured someone with my own hands and participated in torture."
"Those people will not be handed over, nor will they be recognized. The only belief in their torture is loyalty. After their loyalty is exhausted, their only belief is to let themselves die quickly."
C frowned, put his hands on his lower abdomen without saying anything. M continued to himself: "It is very difficult to establish an intelligence network. This may take several C, several M, and sacrifice dozens or even hundreds of people to build it..."
"But it is so easy to be destroyed, a command that may expose them, a mistaken operation, a trace left by accident. We are in the dark, and the enemy is in the dark. Our confrontation will not leave any trace, and many times we even die for this country will not know..."
m walked to the window and looked out the window with a calm look: "One of our work is to properly handle the corpses of those opponents who were tortured to death. Similarly, they will also handle the corpses of our colleagues, collaborators and informants..."
"In this world, people die every day, some die in accidents, some die in murder. But more people are missing, but they are unable to find traces. And among many professions, our casualties rate has always been the highest. Even this is higher than many dangerous extreme sports or other tasks, such as parachuting, free diving, blasting, bomb disposal..."
As he said that, m turned around and looked at c and said softly: "I did not hide my disgust for you to take charge of mi6, because I know very well what consequences will happen if an outsider leads us. Especially for such high-risk work, even if I walk on thin ice, I feel like I am in the abyss..."
"But the reason why I resigned until now is because I don't want to watch my colleagues sacrificed their lives for nothing and died innocently because of your ideas and decisions. They did nothing wrong, and they were even loyal to the country as always."
c opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend himself. But m had a smile on his lips: "Do you need to defend yourself?! Forget it, we have been operating in Xiangdao for a hundred years. From the colonial period to the present..."
"Dozens of sites, hundreds of elite intelligence personnel, analysts, a large number of collaborators, informants, but you made them all disappear overnight."
A hint of pain appeared on m's face: "Our arrangement in France, in Monaco, in Africa, and in South America... I don't know how many of those colleagues are still alive now, and how many are still running away and dare not contact us."
"I just know that most of the intelligence sites carefully arranged by C and M of Mi6 or more are destroyed! Those colleagues who are spread across continents and major countries who live under their own identities and risks for our country... are difficult to survive."
C showed a little embarrassment on his face, and he opened his mouth to say something. But M still didn't give him this opportunity: "Now I'm resigning because I can't stand my colleagues sacrificing and I can't do anything."
"I have tried hard, and the only reason I stayed is that I hope they can be sacrificed less and that they can withdraw safely. But now it is obviously impossible, so I chose to resign."
But I saw m nodding at C: "Okay, I wish you good luck after all. Goodbye!"
After saying that, M walked straight to the office door without looking back and opened it, and then left the office with great strides. C sat on the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling without saying a word.
It was not until this time that he truly felt the seriousness of the matter. However, more serious things were brewing and erupting.
When the phone rang in office C, he realized that the news of M's resignation had spread throughout Mi6 and even to Mi5. The chain reaction caused by this incident was that the resignation letters flew to C like snowflakes.
"You really don't have to keep me. If even M already feels that there is no hope for this matter, then what can we do?!" This is one of the resigned and left a word for C: "When I was just a young boy, M was already responsible for a lot of work in Mi6..."
"I can tell you without hesitation that the only thing that 90% of people in this institution trust from fieldwork to internal office is him." The resigner said to C without hesitation: "If it weren't for his persistence, our resignation letter would have been submitted long ago."
"However, he has resigned now. Similarly, he has also taken the blame for your killing of those colleagues... No! It should be said that he did not take it, but he is indeed an accomplice! If he hadn't insisted that he should help you, I think those colleagues would not die."
These words were pierced in C's heart like a knife.
The same thing happened not only in the mi6, but also in intelligence agencies in several European countries. The resignation letters of the field and the resignation letters of some managers were submitted to the boss.
Many people were even lazy to go to meet. They left the institution directly after submitting the letter of resignation. They didn't even bring any personal belongings, and just got off to the parking lot and drove away.
"Gentlemen, I need you to give me an explanation! Why does this happen now? Why!!" c roared with all his strength in his encrypted satellite phone.
