Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 225: Multiple Compromises! No. 2 is in a state of confusion!
The Il-76 successfully entered Ukrainian airspace.

The six accompanying SU-27 fighter jets did not return, but followed the Il-76 into Ukrainian airspace.

At this point in time, the two parties had just separated and had not yet become completely hostile. Under special circumstances, this side informed the other side in advance and obtained consent.

Inside the cabin.

Serena called Maggie aside.

Seeing Serena's malicious eyes, Maggie asked, "What's wrong?"

Serena stared into Maggie's eyes: "All of this was your plan, right?"

"What do you mean?" Maggie looked puzzled.

"Spread the word to the organization that you want to seize the nuclear warheads. Deliberately lure Roy to Azerbaijan and use Roy to hold back Makarov and the others. At the cost of sacrificing two brothers from the Hellhound Corps, make Roy identify with you." Selina said coldly.

Hearing this, Maggie smiled: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Haha!" Selina sneered, and then said, "The plan was supposed to end here. During the evacuation, the helicopter you were riding in was shot down, resulting in Roy being arrested by the Alpha Special Forces. This was beyond your plan, right?"

Maggie looked at Serena and said nothing.

Serena continued, "Now that Anna and Novikov have chosen to stay, Roy has a better impression of you. Congratulations, you have achieved the goal of New Hope."

Maggie put her hands in her pockets, looked in the direction of Roy, and said to Selina beside her: "If we want to completely destroy the organization, it is not enough to just kill the top leaders of the organization. Everything we do is just to carry out Asmodeus's last wish."

"It's ridiculous. Asmodeus created the system to make America stable, strong and ensure its leading position. How could he destroy the system he created with his own hands?" Selina said.

Maggie turned her head to look at Serena and said with a smile: "It's true that the entire system was created by Asmodeus, but can you guarantee that the ideas and beliefs will not change?"

"You mean..." Serena narrowed her eyes.

"Power can make people lose their way, and desire can infinitely magnify people's ambitions. If someone wants to gain supreme power, then they must break all existing rules, and the rule makers cannot remain immune. When Asmodeus realizes that someone has betrayed him, what do you think he will think? What will he do?"

"betray……"

"Selina, there are some things you don't know, so you don't understand. Ava's influence on Asmodeus is very great..."

"Ava influences Asmodeus?"

Serena looked puzzled.

Maggie nodded. "The entire system was created by Asmodeus, but he is not the only one, nor the supreme one. All decisions still need to be voted on by the founders. You should know how Asmodeus and Ava did it to gain sole control of power..."

"Of course I know. They killed all the start-ups."

"After the founders died, the North American Organization, the European Organization, and the Guardian Organization were established one after another. These three organizations are all part of the entire system. Once a person reaches a certain position, it is inevitable that they will have more desires."

"You mean Ava betrayed Asmodeus?"

Maggie smiled and said, "It seems that there are many things you really don't know. Irina has protected you very well. If you want to know more, go ask Irina when you get back."

Having said that, Selena stopped asking questions. There was no way Maggie would answer her questions directly.

There are some things that everyone knows.

The two girls looked at Roy's back at the same time.

Roy threw Alisa back to the cabin floor, looked up at Maggie and Selina, and walked towards where the two girls were.

Coming in front of Maggie, Roy said, "I've decided to exchange Alisa for Anna and Novikov."

Maggie looked at Roy and said, "Alissa has a very high position in the KGB and is also highly appreciated by their president. Alisa's value is far greater than Anna and Novikov. The two of them are just ordinary lurkers. Are you sure you want to exchange the high-value Alisa for the two of them?"

Roy looked Maggie in the eye and gave a very firm answer: "I'm sure!"

Although Maggie didn't show anything on her face, she was actually very relieved when she heard Roy's words. All signs showed that Roy was a person who valued his friends very much, and this was exactly what the entire New Hope organization wanted to see most.

"In that case, we should do it without further delay. I think we should contact the KGB now. What they hate most is traitors. Although they will not kill both of them in order to rescue Alisa, the longer we delay, the more torture they will suffer." Maggie said.

"Yes!" Roy nodded.

"Where is our destination?" Maggie asked.

"Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany." Selina said on the side.

"I will contact the KGB now and ask them to send a plane to take Anna and Novikov to Ramstein Air Base."

After saying that, Maggie walked towards the cockpit.

KGB headquarters.

Anna and Novikov were held in two adjacent interrogation rooms, with their limbs firmly fixed to the walls. There were several KGB interrogation experts in each room.

Deputy Director Peter entered the interrogation room where Novikov was, came to Novikov, pinched his cheek, lifted his head, and asked coldly: "Tell me, who do you and Anna work for?"

Novikov, with a bruised face and nose, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a hint of teasing on his cheek, and smiled without saying a word.

Peter hit Novikov in the face with a backhand punch, and a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out of Novikov's mouth.

"CIA, or MI6?" Peter asked.

Obviously, he didn't know who Novikov belonged to. Peter didn't belong to the Asmodeus system. The incident happened suddenly and he was given the task. He didn't know many things.

Deputy Director Peter took the document handed over by his subordinate. There was a photo of Roy on the document, but the name was not Roy's real name. As for the content, it said CIA.

It was obvious that Alisa had tampered with Roy's identity.

Among the top KGB officials, only Director Ivan, who also belongs to the Asmodeus system, knows Roy's true identity.

Novikov kept silent and said nothing.

boom--

Novikov was hit hard in the abdomen.

"Someone told me that the CIA agent captured by the Alpha Force not long ago was a monster and that bullets couldn't penetrate his skull. Tell me, what's going on?" Peter asked.

"How should I know?" Novikov slowly raised his head, glanced at Peter, and murmured.

"Your family..." Peter hesitated, trying to threaten Novikov with his family.

"Can you still find my family?"

Hearing this, Peter narrowed his eyes slightly. The special agent team sent to pick up Novikov's family has not sent back any news yet.

Novikov is not stupid. Why didn't he inform his family to move when he knew he was exposed? His wife, like him, was also a New Hope agent. She had secretly left before Novikov was exposed.

And Anna now has no family at all.

When she joined the KGB, she had grandparents, but they had all passed away over the years and Anna was now alone.

In the interrogation room next door, Anna, like Novikov, was suffering inhuman torture, with bruises all over her body and a bruised face.

The cyanide capsules in her and Novikov's teeth had been removed by KGB agents when they were arrested.

Peter came to the interrogation room where Anna was.

Looking at Anna who was half dead, Peter said with a smile: "Novikov has confessed everything. If you tell me too, I will consider letting you leave in a dignified manner."

Anna smiled when she heard this.

No one knew the tenacity of New Hope's agents better than her. Confession? That was impossible. They were all agents, and she was familiar with the KGB's interrogation process. How could she be fooled by Peter?

Peter also knew that as a fellow agent, it would be difficult to get anything out of him. Even using truth serum would be of no avail. Both of them had received drug-resistant interrogation training.

Now, all Peter could do was torture them both for a while, and then wait for the other party to contact them to discuss the details of the exchange.

Just then, an agent entered the interrogation room, walked up to Deputy Director Peter, whispered something in his ear.

"Okay, I know!"

Peter took one last look at Anna, then turned and left the interrogation room.

Following the agents to the operations conference room, many senior KGB staff turned to look at Deputy Director Peter at the same time.

Peter glanced at the landline phone on the conference table and sat down at his seat. The conference secretary pushed the landline phone in front of Peter.

The phone is connected.

"I am Petrov, speak!"

A woman's voice came out of the speakerphone: "Listen, we are flying to Ramstein Air Force Base and are expected to arrive in two and a half hours. If you want your Director Alisa to return safely, send Anna and Novikov to Ramstein Air Force Base immediately, and we will exchange them there."

After a brief thought, Peter said to the landline phone: "How can I trust you if we exchange at your air force base?"

Maggie used all kinds of threats and inducements during the negotiations, and reminded Alisa that her value was far higher than that of Anna and Novikov.

If you don't exchange, we can just keep Alisa in secret. If she gets anything out of you, then...

Alisa has worked in the KGB for more than 20 years and held an important position. There are too many secrets hidden in her head.

Keeping Alisa in the other party's hands for one more second would be a huge threat to the overall security of their country.

Peter naturally understood this truth.

However, he still wanted to try to get the other party to move to a third country for exchange, but the other party did not agree at all and used sharp words.

During the process, Peter also received instructions from the president. The Kremlin asked Peter to exchange Alisa as soon as possible to avoid any further complications. At the same time, Peter was informed that he had spoken to the President of the United States over the phone, and the other president guaranteed that the exchange would be carried out safely.

Finally, he specifically told the KGB deputy director that the matter should be minimized. The attack on the KGB secret base, the killing of the director, and the capture of the deputy director must not be spread outside, as it involves the reputation of the country.

At this era, the two countries are in a delicate "honeymoon period" and the president here is still trying his best to please America. Some things can be fought in secret and must never be brought to the surface, as this would have a huge impact.

Of course, there is another point. It happened so suddenly that no one knows why it happened except Alisa, who is still alive.

Wasn’t it just a secret arrest of a CIA agent? How did it turn into a prison break and a unilateral massacre at a secret base?
However, that was not all. The other party even broke into the KGB headquarters and held the acting director hostage, and then fled on a transport plane...

If this matter were to be disclosed to outside reporters, where would their face be?

In order to find out the ins and outs and the truth of this sudden incident, Alisa must come back to explain it in person.

After Selina reported the situation to Irina, Irina, who was in New York, contacted No. 2 after careful consideration. When No. 2 learned that Roy had kidnapped the deputy director of the KGB, he gasped on the spot.

When No. 2 learned that the kidnapped KGB deputy director was Alisa, his face changed drastically, and without much thought, he agreed to all of Irina's requests and immediately called the other president to guarantee the exchange.

Now, No. 2 hoped that Alisa would not tell Roy about that. Once there was a rift between Roy and the organization, it would be difficult to deal with. Therefore, he had to facilitate the exchange as soon as possible and try not to let Roy and Alisa have too much contact, so as to avoid some things being exposed.

Irina did not tell the truth to No. 2. She did not tell No. 2 that the people being exchanged were from New Hope. She lied and said that the people being exchanged were agents from the Asmodeus system, and all of this was to get the gift from Asmodeus.

With the other party's president as a guarantee, Peter immediately dispatched another Il-76, carrying Anna and Novikov, directly to Ramstein Air Base.

At the same time, Ramstein Air Base urgently took off 15 F-16 fighter jets to the Polish border for escort.

During this period……

America, White House, office.

No. 2 sat on the sofa with a frown on his face.

The security advisor pushed the door open and entered the office, sitting opposite the president and reporting:

"I must have figured it all out. New Hope got some plutonium-239. When Roy was evacuating, he was arrested by the Alpha Special Forces and secretly escorted to a secret KGB base in Moscow. After Irina received the news, she immediately arranged for Agent Group 38 to rescue him."

No. 2 listened carefully to the report from No. 21 Norton Shapar.

"38th Special Agent Group successfully rescued Roy, but the KGB imposed an emergency blockade on the entire Moscow. Seeing that there was no hope of leaving, Roy...he rushed into the KGB headquarters and hijacked the KGB deputy director. The other party compromised and sent an Il-76 transport plane carrying 38th Special Agent Group to Ramstein Air Force Base."

No. 2: "..."

The president could hardly believe his ears.

Is this something a normal person can do?

Suddenly,
He began to feel a fear of Roy deep in his heart, and thought: Alisa, you'd better keep your mouth shut...
