Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 685 People on the Blacklist
Only then did Song Heping notice the picture on the TV in front of him.

"Fuck me!"

Even he screamed in surprise.

"Old squad leader... isn't that you..."

Jiang Feng next to him was dumbfounded.

Song Heping's headshot was placed in the upper right corner of the English news screen.

The news was received via satellite signals, which were from a TV station in Irigaray broadcasting the American CNN news.

Looking at the subtitles carefully again, Song Heping started to say "Fuck" again.

"Terrorists, members of a drug trafficking organization... and even the leader... quite a postmodernist black humor... Fuck!"

After a while, the disaster star called out again.

"Ferrari! Look, Ferrari is on TV too!"

"Fuck, it's a Ferrari..."

"Where did you find this mug shot? It's so ugly, Ferrari would curse if he saw it."

"That's right, I don't know where I found it..."

"Me! I'm on TV too!"

"Okay, it's all there, but you don't have an avatar, only a name..."

"Planning attacks against American citizens, bombing overseas compatriots... Fuck, when have we ever killed civilians? We killed CAI agents, okay? What a lie!"

"Don't be so naive. They want to kill us, so it's normal for them to put all kinds of accusations on us..."

Afanti came over and said to Song Heping, "It seems that the situation has become worse than I thought. Once the United States puts you on the list of terrorist leaders, it means they will put a bounty on you. It seems that the action that night made them angry and embarrassed. Even I..."

He pointed at himself.

"I've been their old rival for many years, but I haven't received the same treatment as you."

"Is it bad?"

Song Heping frowned as he looked at the TV screen, then said to Afanti, "Do you know what annoys me the most right now?"

"What is it?"

"If I had known they were going to put my mug shot on TV, I should have sent them a more handsome one. The one they used is clearly an attempt to smear me. This photo shows me getting angry while training my men at a shooting range near Baghdad. I don't know who took it, but they're using it to make me look more vicious."

Afanti was very surprised to see Song Heping so calm.

It's already this time, and he still cares about whether he looks handsome in photos?
God!
Does this guy really not know or is he pretending not to know?

What does it mean to be listed as a terrorist leader by the US government?

First of all, the USA is now waging wars all over the world, and has even extended its claws to the Sahel region of Africa in the name of combating terrorism.

Even their allies, France and the United States, can only suffer in silence. After all, anyone who opposes America's anti-terrorism operations is supporting terrorist organizations.

Therefore, the next step after being included on this list is likely to be the UN's list of terrorist organizations.

Being listed by the USA and hiding in other non-NATO countries may give you a glimmer of hope, but being included in the UN's list of terrorist organizations means that your living space will be greatly compressed.

What's more, Song Heping is the boss of a PMC company, and you are the leader of a terrorist organization. Who would dare to hire you for a protection mission?
Isn't this like smearing shit on yourself and thinking the stink isn't fast enough?
"Aren't you worried about your business?"

Afanasiy raised his own questions.

Song Heping's answer was also very straightforward: "Do I have any business that can be seen in the open now? Oil field defense? Or US military contracts? What I have now is control of drug networks and arms smuggling. Do I need them to put me on the whitelist?"

Afanti was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little lost.

Song Heping saw through his thoughts and smiled without saying anything.

Afanti couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever considered staying in Persia? I have many secret forces here and need talents like you."

Song Heping smiled and said, "My good friend, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not someone who can stay put. Since the CIA wants to kill me, how can I hide here like a coward? That's not my style. You must remember the first saying of us Chinese people: be tough enough and soft enough. Don't be afraid of trouble, don't provoke trouble, and don't avoid it."

Afanti didn't understand the meaning of the words at once and his face was full of confusion.

Song Heping said, "A great man of our country once said, 'How long will the war last?' I think we shouldn't make the decision. In the past, it was Durumen, and in the future, it will be Eisenhower, or some future president of the United States. They will make the decision. In other words, they can fight as long as they want, until they achieve complete victory!"

Afanti blurted out: "I know who said this!"

Song Heping smiled and said, "This is his wisdom."

Afanasiy thought about it and soon came up with the answer.

"I can be tough enough, and soft enough. If you fight, I'll fight to the end; if you talk, the door is open!?"

Song Heping gave a thumbs up: "No wonder you can sit in your current position, you are indeed much better than me. It was my captain who explained these words to me before I understood them." Afanti suddenly realized that Song Heping was reminding him.

The "Arc of Resistance" that we are building now is essentially a fight against American hegemony.

But this road is not easy.

How to go and which direction to go.

Even Afanasiy himself lacks confidence.

Song Heping's words were equivalent to pointing out a direction for himself.

That's right.

You can also learn from great people.

It can be hard or soft.

"It's my great fortune to meet you, Song. I've suddenly developed a strong interest in your Chinese civilization. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely live with you for a long time and learn from your wisdom. But I don't have any time at the moment. And like you, I'm being targeted, so I have to be careful wherever I go."

"If you were in our country, perhaps you wouldn't have to worry about your safety," Song Heping said. "Besides, if you really don't have time to go, I could give you a copy of Mao's Selected Works. It might be helpful."

"Then it's a deal."

“I don’t know if there’s a Persian translation, though.”

"English is fine too. I'm good at it."

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Afanti and Song Heping seemed not to be affected by the news at all. They walked out of the meeting room talking and laughing, leaving everyone confused.

"Why does the boss look like he's not worried at all?"

Calamity asked Collins curiously.

Collins shrugged: "If worrying could solve problems, I'd frown every day."

After saying that, he strode out of the meeting room.

"Come on, brothers, let's go eat! Who cares about the list? The most important thing is to fill our stomachs. Damn those Americans!"

In the P department office of the NSA headquarters in the United States, an agent responsible for network keyword detection and monitoring was holding a cup of coffee in front of his computer. He looked at the content on the screen and smiled evilly.

Just now, he used his private rights to spy on the emails of his neighbor's wife having an affair with another man. The disgusting words in the emails gave him a sense of pleasure in satisfying his voyeuristic desire.

"No wonder she's so flirty usually, it turns out she's a slut at heart..."

He smiled with a look of success, crossed his legs and hummed a little tune.

Work in Department P is relatively relaxed, but the level of confidentiality is very high.

NSA is the abbreviation of the National Security Agency. After the Twin Towers terrorist attack in 2001, how to avoid more terrorist attacks became the focus of the US intelligence agencies. NSA intelligence analysts proposed the concept of "connection chain" and tried to filter out valuable information in the ocean of information in order to obtain the "enemy's" movements in advance.

The Patriot Act, which was passed in October 2001 and continues to this day (as of 10), provides a legal basis for large-scale surveillance of American senior officials. In the same year, the NSA was established as a new department code-named "P".

In 2004, George W. Bush and other core members of the government successfully circumvented legal difficulties regarding citizens' privacy through some judicial procedures and officially launched the "Stellar Wind" surveillance program, which was implemented by the P department.

To avoid legal issues, Stellar Wind was split into four surveillance projects: Prism, Main Road, Pier, and Nuclear.

These projects can capture and analyze "metadata" including the Internet, communications, electronic information transmission, etc., identify keywords, and the system will automatically filter and pop up prompts, and then conduct targeted analysis.

Tracking and analyzing this information can help us determine whether an ordinary American citizen has any connection with a notorious terrorist.

Also based on this information, an individual's health status, political or religious beliefs, confidential business negotiations, and even whether there is an extramarital affair can be seen at a glance.

beep-

A red prompt box suddenly popped up in the computer system.

The analyst held his coffee in one hand and clicked on the prompt box with the other.

A prompt box will appear indicating that sensitive words or images have been retrieved.

However, there are many such misjudgments every day, and usually we just skip them if we think they are not a big problem.

But today, when the analyst clicked on the prompt box, a bunch of pictures popped up.

"what?"

His brows suddenly furrowed, and the hand holding the coffee cup froze in the air.

As he browsed faster, the expression on his face gradually stiffened, and finally his hand shook, causing some coffee to spill out of the cup and splash onto his pants.

"problem occurs!"

He muttered to himself, and suddenly put down the cup. He immediately retrieved the information and printed out a review document. He picked it up and ran quickly to the supervisor's office.
