Chapter 657: Turbulence in the Red Sea (Part Ten)_1

"What is going on with the recent surge in the Farmer Worker Movement in Mexico?" At the Metropolitan Central Intelligence Agency's office, Kira marched down the stairs quickly. She said with much dissatisfaction, "Such a crucial matter, but you all couldn't keep track of it. Do you know how much blame I could receive because of this?"

The subordinate behind her wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Our agents were clearly monitoring it closely, but their leader seemingly appeared out of nowhere, we have no idea where he came from..."

"The news states that he is cooperating with drug traffickers... my God, now we have to rely on the news for our intelligence!" Kira rolled her eyes, "Gather all resources urgently to stop them, do I still need to emphasise this?"

"But... all our resources in South America are buried in drug trafficking networks, making it inconvenient for us to take any action. If we were to shift resources from the East Coast, it would be hard to integrate seamlessly. Currently, I have already reassigned a team of local agents to track down those people," the subordinate replied.

"The Narcotics Control Bureau on the West Coast will cooperate with us. We should ease our efforts on drug control for now, and focus wholeheartedly on this issue, the higher-ups' pressure is too great." Kira sighed, "We all know just how important Mexico is. It can exist unnoticed, or rather, it must exist unnoticed. It absolutely cannot descend into chaos."

"By the way, when you find those people, don't act impulsively. I heard the leader on their side is no simple man. If we startle them and then they disappear, both of us might as well resign by the end of the year."

After saying this, Kira strode into her own office. She tossed the keys in her hand onto the desk, sat down in the chair, exhaled a long breath, and worriedly massaged her brow.

Not given much respite, a subordinate knocked and entered, "Boss, there's a call from higher-ups, do you want to answer it?"

Kira again rose from her chair, walked to the office across and picked up the telephone, "Hello? ...Yes, we are persistently monitoring, we should start this early? But he is still... Alright, I understand. I'll give it a try."

Upon hanging up, she turned to the office and said, "Now, get me all the files on a man called Clark Kent. The higher-ups want to activate him."

"Activate? But he hasn't even joined us yet!" a surprised subordinate who had just entered said. Kira rubbed her brow and said, "Indeed, Congress always believes that everyone is naturally a part of us. They think, how hard could it be to brainwash a naive college student?"

Soon, a bearded agent walked in and said loudly, "What is going on? Activate Clark? Whose dumb idea is this?"

"A few days ago we discovered that Clark seems to have noticed our group of surveillance agents. We were preparing to lay low for a few days, yet now they are telling us to go communicate with him directly??"

The bearded man stood with his hands on his hips and said, "Let's not mention whether we can convince him or not, what if he goes berserk, what about the safety of Metropolis? What about the safety of my agents?"

"Owen, calm down." Kira moved forward, patting the tall man's shoulder, "You must know, the agency's head is currently under great pressure. Nobody foresaw the situation in Mexico and we haven't received any intelligence at all..."

"Who approved it? Who organized it? Who executed it? What exactly happened from Mexico to Moscow? We know nothing, this is already a major failure..."

"But this is clearly the fault of those responsible for Moscow! They even took down the top leader, how could they not know who the organizer of the Mexico operation is?"

"Latest update, boss…" Another female agent walked in, holding a report, "The CIA station in Moscow has sent news, this operation may be rogue KGB activity, their leaders are unaware of this, they also didn't anticipate the occurrence of this operation..."

"How could this be possible? Which country's intelligence agency would dare to… Wait, I suppose they might, a bunch of desperate daydreamers. Can you figure out which KGB department was involved?"

"It's difficult to determine. Although some of us have infiltrated the KGB, their personnel management has always been an intelligence stronghold, virtually leaving no clues."

Kira took the report and read it thoroughly, but it did not deliver any useful information.

In simple terms, the leaders in Moscow are also unaware of how this operation came to be, so based on reasonable deduction, it may be the KGB acting independently, but it is unclear which department it is, which is equivalent to not being able to find anything out at all.

"To launch a movement, it cannot happen overnight. Firstly, they need an ideological leader, and a capable executor who preferably also has extensive experience with guerrilla warfare and adapts to the local environment. In the process, they also need dedicated people to provide them with intelligence, to help them evade capture…" Kira analyzed, her speech echoing the current understanding of everyone in the room.

After playing the game with the KGB for so many years, the CIA's standard isn't any lesser. They grasp how the KGB develops one movement after another, but the results are always surprisingly good, with this time not being an exception.
