From arms dealer to king of war

The main businesses include debt recovery and financial management, knowledge management, information management technology, laboratory information management systems, network security, engineering and logistics, sensor systems and simulation systems, etc.

Qiao Jia also looked it up out of curiosity about his senior colleagues, and was shocked by this company. This is the real giant! !

It is jokingly said that half of the work of the NSA (National Security Agency) is done by CACI. You can imagine how awesome they are.

And this Thompson Heller has actually been in charge of intelligence work at CACI for many years. Why is he looking for a job? This kind of resume is in demand everywhere.

Thompson saw the doubtful expression on Qiao Jia's face. He was silent for a while and then said: "I reported the illegitimate son of a high-ranking official because he had business dealings with terrorists.

Then I lost everything, my job, my pension, my health insurance, my kids’ college funds…

I was warned and surrendered, but what I lost could never be regained. "

Qiao Jia said in amazement: "The high-ranking official you offended must be extremely high-ranking. They don't even need to silence them..."

Thompson nodded slightly and said: "Because when I am alive, everyone thinks I am crazy, but if I die inexplicably, someone will think of me...

The reality is so cruel!

Sir, I need a job with an annual salary of more than 300,000. My three children are all studying in private schools. I need enough money to support them until they complete their studies. "

Qiao Jia blinked and looked at the "lion's big mouth" Thompson, he smiled and said: "I would like to ask, what was your salary when you were at CACI?"

Thompson thought for a moment and said, "$350,000 after tax!

However, it is no longer suitable for me to continue working in the United States, so I can accept using an overseas account to receive my salary, and cash is also acceptable. "

Qiao Jia looked at Thompson, who had been honest about everything from beginning to end. He hesitated and said, "There is one thing I have to ask. If I hire you, will I be in trouble?" ?”

Thompson shook his head and said: "No, because the illegitimate child I reported to is dead, and the cause of death was a drug overdose.

And his father doesn't care about a little person like me at all. He is in a critical period and doesn't want to cause any trouble to himself. "

Thompson spoke too calmly. Even when he mentioned his enemy, his mood did not fluctuate at all. It seemed that even if his enemy died, he would not be happy.

Qiao Jia felt that there might be some other inside story here, but to be able to survive in such a dangerous situation and be able to move freely, this Thompson is really amazing!

Anyway, his main working place will be in Afika from now on, Qiao Jia feels that he doesn’t have to hesitate...

"The annual salary is 350,000, but I need you to help me recruit or train a few electronic scouts."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at Thompson, whose expression finally changed a little, and said with a smile: "The main reason why I hired you is not to find a spy in the field, but to build a tactical intelligence center.

I have several reconnaissance airships in Central Africa, and perhaps more in the future.

I can't afford too many intelligence officers, so I have to settle for the next best thing.

But in today’s information society, this is more efficient, don’t you think? "

After hearing this, Thompson suddenly laughed and said a little helplessly: "So you recruited me not to solve the problem you are facing now, but to find an electronic investigation supervisor."

When Qiao Jia heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "Of course not, you have to take care of other intelligence business, such as developing a few informants. Of course, the cost cannot be too high...

P·B is just a small company, so its employees are required to wear multiple hats. Can you understand that, right? "

Thompson was amused by Qiao Jia. He changed his calm and serious expression and said curiously: "Sir, don't you understand your situation at all? Do you really don't need me to provide you with any advice?"

Qiao Jia frowned and said, "What's wrong with my situation? Although it's a bit dangerous, I should be able to handle it.

You just arrived, can I still ask you to help me solve my problem? "

Thompson looked into Qiao Jia's eyes. After a few seconds, he finally confirmed that the current boss really did not find him because of his current situation, but because of the work content he just mentioned...

This makes Thompson very comfortable, because what he needs is a long-term and stable job.

Put the folder you brought on the coffee table, subconsciously align the edge of the file with the edge of the coffee table with your thumb, and then push it towards Qiao Jia opposite.

Watching Qiao Jia beat up tiredly, then picked up the file and started to look through it, Thompson suddenly said in a voice like a blackboard eraser rubbing glass: "The time is too short, the first part of the file is about the information about the 'Ndrangheta" , which contains information about their organizational structure, action patterns, and some typical incidents.

In the third part, the information on Heinz Farm, because the time is too short, I don’t have a complete report yet, but I will be able to find some useful things tomorrow.

This part will not be of much help to you, but the second part about ‘engineers’ is closely related to you.

Sir, I have sorted out your movement trajectory in the past few days, as well as the other party's movement pattern. I think the 'engineer' will launch an attack today or tomorrow at the latest. "

Qiao Jia was stimulated by the weird sounds that Thompson deliberately made, and his spirits actually improved a lot.

After hearing the conclusion Thompson reached, he said curiously: "How do you know?"

Thompson smiled shyly and said, "I asked my friend at the airport to check for me, and the 'engineer' booked a few tickets to leave today, no, tomorrow at noon."

Qiao Jia said in disbelief: "How do you know who is the 'engineer'?"

Thompson was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I don't know the 'engineer', and the engineer is not a person. I was only responsible for the intelligence analysis of these people when I was serving in DIA.

I once submitted a report on the pattern of names used in fake passports of 'Engineers', but unfortunately it was not adopted.

They used to mix up the names of famous mathematicians and scientists in the past and combine them into their own fake names.

Moreover, their actions are very regular, and the most important retreat must be their priority.

So I asked my friend to use a small software to check the airport system..."

As he spoke, Thompson looked at the incredible expression on Qiao Jia's face, and said calmly: "This query method is not completely accurate, but since it is determined that the 'engineer' works in New York, and there are three 'mathematicians + scientists' I’ve booked a flight to leave tomorrow, so…”

Qiao Jia was shocked by Thompson's magic. What level of intelligence officer was this?

Even if this guy started preparing for the interview after receiving the invitation, it only took three days.

There must be some tricks that laymen don't understand, but that doesn't matter. Thompson is now like David Copperfield in the eyes of Qiao Jia, and the fog was cleared for him in an instant.

The 'engineer' who was regarded as the enemy by the FBI no longer seems to be a great person like Thompson.

Of course, this is just Qiao Jia's illusion, because knowing the 'engineer's' schedule cannot solve the problem he is about to face.

Qiao Jia looked at Thompson in admiration and said, "Brother, you are a genius. Compared to you, the FBI is like a stupid pig."

Thompson was very calm in the face of the praise. He shook his head and said: "Sir, this will not help your current situation. The 'engineer' will not leave without doing anything. What we need now is to ensure your safety."

After hearing this, Qiao Jia smiled and said: "I am safe now. This room was reserved with someone else's identity, and my bodyguard is also very strong..."

Thompson shook his head and said: "No, bodyguards are of little use to 'engineers'.

Because 'engineers' never confront people head-on, they are used to creating various situations and then forcing the target to act along the route they set.

Sir, the engineer may just be an 80-year-old man who can't beat the drug addicts on the street, but anyone who falls into the trajectory they set will be in danger of life.

For your safety, I advise you to remain vigilant..."

Qiao Jia smacked his lips and said, "You describe them as so magical, which makes me a little unconvinced.

What should I do? "

Thompson thought for a while and said seriously: "When you encounter an emergency, don't do what your instinct tells you to do.

Once the plan is set by the 'engineer', it will be implemented, including the retreat plan. As long as you get through tomorrow noon, you will be safe.

If you are determined to retaliate at that time, we can go to the airport and say hello to the 'engineers'. Although we can't do anything to them, we can make them give up their mission against you in the future. "

Qiao Jia was really curious about such a mysterious thing. He looked at the time and saw that it was already 2 o'clock in the morning.

Just when Qiao Jia wanted to ask a few more questions, in the presidential suite downstairs...

There was a slight explosion in the water tank in the public toilet, and then the toilet sensor suddenly broke. A blue liquid came out of the water tank, and soon spread to the living room through the crack in the door.

FBI agent Ressler, who had been sitting in the living room drinking coffee, didn't notice anything strange. He didn't realize there was a problem until he heard a slight explosion in a socket under the fireplace and a peculiar smell spread out...

The odor was not irritating at first, but after combining with something volatile in the water, the odor changed and became a smell more irritating than gas...

This mixture of poisonous gas can evade most detection! !

"Cough cough cough..."

Ressler realized something was wrong and immediately covered his mouth and nose with a towel, then rushed into the room and woke up Agent Victoria...

"Go away, it's poisonous!!!"

Just as Ressler pulled Victoria up, there was a slight explosion under the fire alarm bell at the elevator entrance, and then the hotel alarm went off...

Two FBI agents who had been waiting near the elevator rushed to the door of the presidential suite. The moment they smelled the strange smell, they looked at each other in horror, then pressed the communicator and shouted: "A suspected biological attack occurred at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel." Weapon attack, evacuate all hotel guests..."
