"So you came to me and wanted me to provide you with sufficient funds, but you didn\'t want to completely obey my orders, but tried to cooperate in a way..."

Zhang Cheng was obviously not a fool. He saw through the other party\'s careful thinking of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs".

We should know that if a special organization such as intelligence agencies can not be completely controlled, it is easy to have a lot of trouble. For example, it is easy to end up, and for example, it is easy to be infiltrated and controlled by other intelligence agencies.

Although his original intention of establishing the intelligence organization is not to steal intelligence secrets between major countries, or important science and technology, but only to investigate various ancient relics and relics, obtain national hydrological and marine exploration data in the corresponding sea areas, and so on.

After all, the intelligence system of the underground world may be very convenient, but the confidentiality has not been very good. It is inevitable that it will be learned by some guys with ulterior motives, resulting in some unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, at this time, if an intelligence organization obeys its orders and obtains relevant information, it will not be noticed by the high-level of the underground world.

Because in their eyes, the greatest use of keeping in touch with the ordinary world is not to expose themselves to the full view of the public.

No one cares about the hostility, fighting or even killing between countries and interest groups. Unless there is a crisis leading to nuclear war, the Council will not bother to pay attention to it.

In short, what Zhang Cheng uses is to use the contempt of the high-level of the underground world for ordinary people, so as to cover up some small actions in private.

Leonid seemed to notice something, touched the short beard on his chin and explained: "I understand that this requirement is a bit excessive. But you should understand that intelligence collection needs very professional talents and must be kept confidential, so it is easy for outsiders to intervene, which can cause disastrous consequences, so it must maintain relative independence. That is why the administrative agencies of most countries do not directly control their own intelligence departments, but are protected by the government The military with relatively strong confidentiality is responsible. "

Zhang Cheng smiled and waved his hand: "no, I don\'t need to explain. I understand a lot of reasons. But you ignore one point, that is, I\'m not an ordinary person at all, and there are many ways to solve your so-called confidentiality problem. I\'m sorry, what I need is a subordinate intelligence collection agency that can obey orders 100%, not a partner who wants to negotiate terms with me."

"You mean, there are two choices in front of me now, one is unconditional surrender, the other is..."

"The other is to disappear! Disappear from this world forever, whether you or your people. I promise, it\'s easier for me to clean up you than eat and drink water. You know? You\'ve made a common sense mistake, that is, you treat me as a simple rich man. Didn\'t Polman tell you that I\'m the third most powerful person in the underground world in North America One of them? "

Before the old man finished speaking, Zhang Cheng asked back with a smile.

There is no doubt that he would never accept such an exchange condition at all. If he was not afraid that modifying memory and mind control would lead to the decline of judgment in some aspects, he would have called for direct coercive measures. Where would he waste his tongue.

"Sir, I think it is necessary to take Mr. Leonid around New York so that he can have a clear understanding of the underground world." Polman took the initiative to put forward his proposal.

"Good idea! Then take him around and look at the warehouse where I stack money."

"As you wish!"

……

After a deep bow, Polman immediately pulled up the old man and disappeared into the streets of New York.

About three hours later, when they returned to the office on the top floor of the headquarters building, Leonid\'s calm on his face had disappeared, replaced by awe and fear.

There\'s no way not to be afraid!

Because he saw many things he couldn\'t understand with his own eyes, especially the hundreds of living dead in Jesse Livermore\'s underground warehouse and the terrible magic plague that was enough to end human civilization.

Looking at the old man\'s flashing eyes, Zhang Cheng gently knocked on the table, smiled and joked, "ah, it seems that you have a new understanding of us. That\'s good! After all, many tragedies start from not knowing each other. Tell me, have you changed your mind now?"

"Yes, sir! From this moment on, my men and I will be your loyal servants." Leonid resolutely lowered his head with a tremor in his voice.

He knew that if half a word of no jumped out of his mouth, the end would not be just death.

"Wise choice! Believe me, you won\'t regret your choice. I will provide you with $2 billion a year, the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world, and some magical equipment and potions. In short, you will have what the CIA has in the future, and you will have what they don\'t have. My only requirement is to complete it Every task I deliver. "

Zhang Cheng stood up and looked down at the scenery outside the window, directly giving his positioning and requirements for the intelligence agency.

"Two... Two billion dollars?!"

When Leonid heard this number, the whole person was in a state of extreme shock.

You know, it\'s just early 2000. The United States has just sucked enough blood on the corpse of the former Soviet Union. The purchasing power of the dollar is not generally strong.

Two billion dollars a year, not to mention the establishment of an intelligence collection network, even breaking hands with internationally renowned intelligence organizations.

"Why, I\'m surprised? Do you know how many taxes I collect from illegal activities in the underground world of New York every month? There are hundreds of millions of dollars in cash alone, and the number of transfers through bearer bonds and bank black box operations is far more than you think. Half of these taxes need to be paid to parliament, while the other half is at the discretion of parliamentarians, so don\'t worry Doubt my financial resources. "Zhang Cheng handed it in with a smile.

For him, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. Even if the tax is insufficient, he can make some rare metals by Alchemy, such as gold and platinum, in exchange for money.

Having recovered from the shock, Leonid subconsciously clenched his fist and asked excitedly, "what about the advanced weapons and equipment you just mentioned? Can you take out some samples for me to see?"

"No problem! Come with me! In fact, I have everything ready for you."

With the last word blurted out, Zhang Cheng suddenly grabbed the other party\'s wrist, directly launched the transmission magic and disappeared in place.

Next second

The two suddenly appeared in an open and huge underground bunker, surrounded by all kinds of equipment, including firearms, vehicles and electronic equipment.

The most exaggerated thing is that there are several planes that look full of sense of science and technology parked in the center, and the largest one is almost as big as Boeing 747!
