So the non-African man's pretentious appearance was a complete disguise. She just realized this and had to willingly let him charge her a "brokerage fee".
Damn it, Batman's friends are mostly bad guys! The female agent cursed inwardly.
What followed was a busy and fulfilling "daily routine of covert reconnaissance", which was more comfortable and fulfilling than any previous similar operation Natasha had undertaken.
The two people take turns to go out for field reconnaissance for four hours, exercise, intelligence analysis, and action planning take up eight hours, and the remaining eight hours are for sleep and leisure.
Even if you are in the igloo, there are intelligent programs to help you check the monitoring equipment deployed outside and keep an eye on the situation in the direction of the base at any time.
Such miserable situations as sleeping in the snow, not being able to eat or sleep well, and having your hind legs frozen when going to the toilet, all did not exist.
What surprised Natasha even more was that her overall talent in Qigong was actually excellent.
Comparing with the overall talents of others, Robert is poor, Catherine is average, Claire and Selina are good, and Luke's youngest sister Cindy is excellent.
Specifically speaking of Natasha, first of all, she has a good physique and a lot of "qi" conversion.
Secondly, in terms of concentrating and calming down, female agents are professionally suspicious and have flexible minds, which is a natural disadvantage.
But her experience in resisting torture in the Red House gave her the skill of rapid self-hypnosis, which is an acquired advantage.
Finally, there is sensitivity to qi, which is neither good nor bad.
But with Luke, who has mastered the art of Qi training for several years, it is not difficult to use his abilities to guide him into that unspeakable state of training.
In this respect, she was much luckier than Robert.
After all, Robert is a man, and Luke’s hypnosis ability was not strong enough at that time.
Luke wasn't too busy.
Since we have said that we will give Natasha 10% of the harvest for free, we must now give her the opportunity to exercise her subjective initiative.
He has to do everything, so Natasha can probably only get the guaranteed share.
…
One day after arriving at the North Pole, the Monster drilled out of the base according to the preset procedure and reconnected with Luke.
He went out for field reconnaissance every day, and his main task was to connect a physical data line into the base.
Several mountain-opening monsters take turns patrolling the base every day and then take turns transmitting information back through the data lines.
The reason why wireless transmission is not used is because this place is too "clean".
Within a radius of 100 kilometers, only the base has wireless signal transmission.
According to intelligence analysis from all aspects, this Cobra base is quite advanced.
He didn't dare to bet that Cobra's monitoring personnel would ignore the sudden appearance of several unfamiliar signal sources around the base, which was a signal-free zone.
On the other hand, there are more than 300 guards in this base, all of whom are the same iron-faced warriors seen before.
These guards have no emotional fluctuations, no hobbies, will not wander around, and do not care about human relationships. They only obey the orders of the base leaders and act according to the rules.
This is really... great for Luke.
If there are too many smart people, the value of this base will be reduced.
Luke had already made up his mind to take over the entire base as quietly as possible.
If you want to achieve this goal, you must not be impatient.
If anything goes wrong, it might damage "his" base.
…
The wait was long, but with a professionally trained female agent by his side, Luke wasn't too bored.
Natasha was even more satisfied.
After getting started with Qigong, she felt it was really good.
This thing can be used for beauty care as soon as you get started, at least it can improve skin quality immediately.
Other things like being energetic and staying away from back pain and leg cramps are not worth mentioning.
In terms of fighting ability, she even felt that she could kill a cow with one punch.
Luke is not at a disadvantage either.
Points and the like are nothing to him. The five-digit debt of the female agent is just a small means to urge her to work hard, and is by no means intended to exploit labor.
He found Natasha's practice even more pleasing to the eye.
After getting started, he basically stopped demonstrating in person and only gave occasional pointers.
Most of the time he would sit leisurely on the sofa, watching her perform various extreme movements on the yoga mat to stimulate her body and qi circulation.
…
Time came to the end of September.
Luke had almost collected all the key information in the base, and the opportunity finally came.
During these days, the cobra was not resting, but making a lot of noise.
The Eiffel Tower? That's just an appetizer for the big action.
Cobra used the fate of the Eiffel Tower to threaten China, the United States and the European Union, demanding that each country pay the equivalent of 100 billion US dollars, otherwise the remaining three warheads will fall on important cities in Asia, America and Europe.
This request was unprecedented and unheard of, and was rejected immediately.
But there is only half of a certain iron tower left there, and the NATO Weapons Intelligence Center also has information on nanoworm warheads.
This is what Europe and the United States produce themselves.
In fact, this nanoworm warhead does not belong to Mars Industries, but to several NATO countries.
All scientific researchers and key data of this project have been directly controlled by several important NATO member states.
James McCarron, the CEO of Mars Industries, only serves as the steward of the development department.
This is just like the United States has no right to ask a large company to give it core technology for use. From a procedural point of view, McAllen can neither access the technical data of the warhead nor manufacture it.
That's why McCarran tipped off Cobra to grab the four warheads.
Not exposing the identity of Cobra's collaborator is one thing, but his inability to produce a warhead is the other.
But he also played it very well.
When developing the nanoworm warhead, he always emphasized concentrating funds to produce results and let technicians focus their research on destructive power.
The only countermeasure is the controller that was sent away with the warhead.
This controller is similar to the dynamic password of the Peace Black Box, which can only be set during production and used in conjunction with the warhead.
Even if NATO produced another controller, it would not be able to control the three stolen warheads.
Several NATO countries jointly developed nanoworm warheads in order to create a deterrent weapon that is "cleaner and safer" than peaceful weapons.
Even if this thing falls into the hands of other countries, it will only add icing on the cake for peaceful deterrence.
But the embarrassing thing is that this powerful weapon of industrial society inexplicably fell into the hands of an empty organization.
The other side can threaten them unscrupulously, but they cannot threaten the other side because no one knows where the cobra is.
China, the United States and several EU countries held several high-level consultations in a month and had several contacts with Cobra, but they were unable to reach a consensus.
For these big countries, this is not a matter of 100 billion US dollars in supplies.
But if we make concessions to the air force this time, they will become more aggressive.
As long as the warhead is still in Cobra's hands, the second and third extortions are bound to happen.
Therefore, their condition was that the three nanoworm warheads must be handed over, otherwise they would rather gamble than pay the "protection fee".
Cobras are not stupid either.
If the exchange really happens, who knows what kind of trouble will arise during the transaction.
Only by keeping the warheads in our hands can we make other countries take us with caution.
In fact, Luke also knew Cobra's true plan.
While acquiring supplies, they will launch three warheads to directly destroy three of the world's top cities, creating great panic and chaos.
The purpose of Cobra is to create unrest. Any supplies it can get from various countries are just extra gains and are not the point.
