Chapter 207 CIA Investigation

"Mr. Albert, very nice to meet you." In a very ordinary room in the city of Baikang, Albert sat on a chair and looked at the tall American opposite him.

Albert was very unhappy. On the way, he was suddenly "kidnapped" by several Americans. Albert and his deputy Yolen were almost forced to come here.

This made Albert very angry.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the head of the CIA's Far East division. I have many names, but you can call me Locke for now." Locke, with his high nose, continued to speak to Albert.

He thought his colleagues were jealous of him and hired someone to kidnap him. It turned out to be someone from the CIA! Albert couldn't help but raise his voice a few degrees: "What crime have I committed that you brought me here? Please let me go immediately! I have something very important to tell you!"

"Our business is more important." Locke said to Albert, "You interviewed the Soviet 67th Tank Regiment today. We want to know the details."

Originally, the all-pervasive CIA could not conduct effective intelligence work inside the Soviet Union. Any foreigner who showed any abnormality would be turned over to the KGB by the highly conscious Soviet people. But now, in Hokkaido, the local residents are mainly islanders, and the Soviet rule does not have a solid mass base for the time being. Among these people, the Americans have also developed many spies.

Albert's actions did not escape the attention of the CIA. When Locke learned that Albert had actually gone to the Soviet tank regiment for an interview, he personally rushed over from Tokyo and intercepted Albert here.

"Freedom of the press. As a fighter for the free world, I will firmly defend our ideals." Albert said, "Don't even think about getting any valuable news from me!"

Freedom and democracy are the dominant ideas in the West. As a journalist, Albert will defend press freedom. Even the authorities have no right to ask journalists to conceal some valuable news! Nor do they have the right to ask journalists to report the news they get to them first!

"Mr. Albert, I hope you know that we are about to have a large-scale armed conflict with the Soviet Union at any time. In Hokkaido, tanks will be the main combat force. We need to know the performance of Soviet tanks and need first-hand information. If you cooperate, we will give you various honors in the press. If you don't cooperate, you will be sued by us and will face at least 20 years in prison. Your untrue report on the 311 air crash caused us to suffer huge losses. Now, your behavior is suspected of collaborating with the enemy."

This is a naked threat! Hearing Locke's words, Albert's face immediately turned red: "The 311 air crash was deliberately concealed by the United States, hiding the facts from our entire Western world! If I am sent to prison for this reason, in prison, I will also defend the right to freedom of the press and fight against the US government!"

"You idiot!" Locke finally couldn't help it: "What you disclosed is not true at all! Those reconnaissance equipment are not from civil airliners, but from our Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft!"

"What? Blackbird reconnaissance plane? The Soviets actually shot down the Blackbird reconnaissance plane?" Albert was quite surprised.

"It wasn't shot down. Our Blackbird reconnaissance plane had a mechanical failure and crashed in Soviet territory, and the Soviets took advantage of it! The Soviets took advantage of our journalists!" Locke looked at Albert with a mocking face: "Sometimes, what you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth, you have to use your brain!"

Albert was finally hit by his psychological offensive. Locke was confident that he could make this guy cooperate with him and tell him everything he saw.

"Report, the photos have been developed." Just then, the door was opened and the deputy walked in with a stack of photos.

After Albert and Yolen were controlled, the devices in their hands were taken away by CIA agents. While they were being interrogated, the photos in the devices were quickly developed.

Locke took it, glanced at it, and was immediately surprised: "What is this?"

When did the Soviets start hanging bricks on their tanks? Looking at these photos, Locke couldn't believe his eyes.

"I don't know either. Anyway, when I went there, I saw that their tanks were full of these things, fixed to the armor with screws." Albert said. He climbed onto the tank and saw the bricks up close.

"Are there any Russian letters on it?" Locke asked.

Albert shook his head. "No, it may be on the back of these things. After they are fixed, they are blocked. However, when I entered their turret, I found Russian words on the shells."

"Inside the turret? What's inside?" Locke was very happy. It seemed that Albert did a good job. With further training, he might become a qualified intelligence officer!

"Their shells are very special. They are placed separately and arranged in a circle next to the turret. I saw tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells and some with depleted uranium written on them."

Depleted uranium! Hearing this, Locke felt a rumbling sound in his head. Depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets, it must be depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets! Damn it! Even the depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets that have not been successfully developed in China, the Soviets have actually developed them and equipped their troops?

This is an absolute secret! Even Locke doesn't know much. He only knows that domestic experts have discovered that the use of depleted uranium can greatly improve the armor-piercing ability, especially during the armor-piercing process, depleted uranium will burn, increasing the armor-piercing effect. Unfortunately, the process of mass production is still being developed, and there has been no breakthrough yet.

The Soviets actually came to the forefront of the world?

"Have you seen the power of their armor-piercing bullets?" Locke continued to ask. There were no photos, so he could only listen to Albert's description. However, Locke did not think that Albert would talk nonsense. These guys who advocated freedom of the press were all very arrogant.

Have you seen the power? Albert immediately remembered the scene at the shooting range, and felt a little incredible. Moreover, the Soviet tank regiment commander clearly told him that what he saw could not be disclosed, and it was obviously confidential.

At that time, I agreed!

Seeing Albert hesitate, Locke said, "Mr. Albert, haven't your wife and daughter always wanted to get our American green card?"

This was another card that Locke had in his hand. Sure enough, when Albert heard this, he put his promise to the Soviets behind his mind. He said firmly, "I saw their armor-piercing shells penetrate a large piece of iron that was more than one meter thick."
