Chapter 751: Entering the Net

Since last year, many countries in South America have seen some very subtle changes.

The United States has always viewed South America as its own backyard, so it naturally began investigating the changes here immediately.

Although they focused on Brazil, the largest country in South America, and invested a massive amount of resources and manpower.

Yet, relying on the United States' operations in South America for over half a century, they also found many clues within other South American countries.

Peisi quickly withdrew his gaze from the Xiangfeng regional airliner that the country of Bo had newly received, and pulled his suitcase toward the airport terminal.

Along the way, Peisi walked at a steady pace, remaining vigilant of his surroundings at all times to prevent any potential danger from descending.

After the military coup in the country of Bo, the CIA rapidly increased the number of spies within the country from the original twenty or so across two offices to nearly a hundred.

Among them were several at the level of Senior Agent like Peisi, yet they had not transmitted any warnings or useful information before suddenly disappearing.

This shows how dangerous the country of Bo is now; since being recruited and developed into a spy by the CIA, Peisi has traveled to CIA overseas training bases four times in the past eleven years under the guise of tourism to receive months of professional training.

This time, he entered from Brazil, and to avoid potential risks, he disguised himself as a tourist, spending over a week in more than a dozen major cities within the country of Bo before arriving at his destination—La Paz.

He hailed a taxi at the airport entrance; like taxi drivers all over the world, the owner of the taxi Peisi stopped was also a very talkative La Paz local, looking to be about thirty-five or thirty-six, a bit fat, and spoke fluent English.

Upon learning that Peisi was Colombian, the taxi driver immediately switched from English to Spanish.

During the Age of Discovery, Colombia, like the country of Bo, was a Spanish colony, so the official language of both countries is Spanish.

Communicating in his mother tongue, this local taxi driver was clearly even more enthusiastic than before.

"Is the gentleman here in La Paz for tourism?"

"Mm, yes. I originally planned to go to Brazil, but it's been quite chaotic there lately, and I still have time left on my vacation, so I came to the country of Bo to look around!"

"Brazil, hey, it has indeed been very chaotic there these past two years."

Upon hearing Peisi mention the neighboring country of Brazil, the smile on the face of this La Paz local driver instantly turned into schadenfreude.

As the country with the largest territory in South America, Brazil has territorial disputes with many of its surrounding neighbors.

Although the two neighbors with the most serious territorial disputes with Brazil are Miguo and Bala Guo, the country of Bo had also been bullied by this small South American hegemon quite a bit in the past.

Therefore, the conflict between the Brazilian government and the major drug lords within its borders has intensified over the last two years, with armed clashes breaking out from time to time, causing Brazil's security and situation to be severely affected.

Although its neighbors all condemn the drug lords, the reality is that they are all happily eating melons and watching the show, wishing the situation in Brazil could be even more chaotic.

Peisi chatted with him for a while, and feeling that it was about time, he pretended to inadvertently steer the conversation toward the aspects he cared about.

"Before I came to La Paz, my colleagues were all advising me, saying that a military coup had just happened here and the situation is very chaotic now... Before I even got off the plane, I was still worried about whether there would be gunfights everywhere on the streets here!"

The La Paz local driver wasn't offended; he glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "That's all the Western media smearing us. Although our former president of the country of Bo came to power through elections, the new president came to power through a military coup. However, the new president has done much better than the previous few presidents in terms of domestic economy, political stability, and national welfare!"

He was just like the ordinary citizens of the country of Bo that Peisi had encountered in the previous dozen or so cities, very satisfied with the new government and president.

And Peisi also roughly understood the reason.

After the new president of the country of Bo came to power through a coup last year, he actively leaned toward Moscow and Beidu externally, and it is unknown what means he used to improve relations with neighboring countries Miguo, Bala Guo, Zhiguo, and Weiguo.

The most important cooperative organization in the South American region—the Union of South American Nations—had, after the military coup in the country of Bo last year, cooperated with the West to announce sanctions against it and temporarily revoked the country of Bo's membership status.

However, at the beginning of this year, the Union of South American Nations quietly lifted the sanctions on the country of Bo and restored its status as a formal member state.

In this regard, the new government of the country of Bo has performed even more excellently.

Although the country of Bo declared independence as early as 1825, after independence, capital from the West still gradually controlled the country's industrial, mining, and resource lifelines through various means.

After the coup last year, the new government disregarded the threats from Western countries and decisively reclaimed the domestic industrial and mining resources controlled by Western capital, vigorously developing state-owned mining companies while improving national welfare.

Although the joint sanctions from the West resulted in few countries in the world continuing to import products from the country of Bo, the country of Bo still sold its mineral products through various channels and obtained a large amount of cheap daily necessities from Eguo and a certain Far East country.

The economy of the country of Bo did not experience a major decline, and the vast majority of ordinary people benefited because the government nationalized the industrial and mining resources controlled by Western capital.

Therefore, the situation in the country of Bo remains very stable to this day, and various daily necessities on the market are abundant and cheap; compared to Weiguo, which is also suffering from Western sanctions, it is like heaven and earth, and the citizens naturally used their own judgment to make the choice most beneficial to themselves.

Peisi listened as the taxi driver, having had the topic successfully provoked by him, introduced the changes in the country of Bo over the past year without stopping.

While he himself interjected with a question or two from time to time, his Brain was spinning rapidly.

"The military coup in the country of Bo was too sudden; there must be foreign forces providing support behind that new president. This external force likely comes from Moscow or Beidu, but what exactly is their goal? To influence South American politics? But this is too far from Moscow and Beidu, isn't it?"

Peisi suddenly remembered that when his superior handed this Task to him, they also gave him a special instrument said to be used for detecting whether there were listening devices around him.

It is said that once that new type of anti-espionage detector is turned on, it will automatically issue a vibration warning if there are listening devices within a certain distance.

And that anti-espionage detector had already been activated by Peisi and worn close to his body after he retrieved his luggage from the airport.

However, it seemed to have a problem; ever since he activated it in the airport, it had been continuously emitting vibrations at a fixed frequency that only Peisi himself could feel.

To say that there were listening devices everywhere from the La Paz airport to the taxi he had randomly hailed, Peisi clearly did not believe it.

He trusted his own observations more; the taxi he chose had no problems.

Then there was only one result!

"Is it broken? What a terrible start!"

This Task suddenly handed to Peisi was full of too many uncertainties.

If it weren't for his superior promising Peisi that after completing this Task, they would recommend him for a position at the United States headquarters and guarantee he could obtain United States citizenship, along with a bonus of five hundred thousand dollars.

Otherwise, Peisi had no intention of taking this Task at all.

Amidst the taxi driver's incessant chatter, twenty-some minutes later, Peisi arrived at a five-star hotel near the La Paz Jichang.

He paid, thanked the taxi driver, and carried his luggage into the hotel.

What Peisi did not know was that just after his figure disappeared.

In the taxi behind him, the taxi driver who looked a bit fat had red light flickering in his pupils.

"Action team take note, new user in room 1106 of the Lanwote Jiudian, suspected to be a CIA spy. He is carrying a special radiation monitor that can capture the electromagnetic spectrum emitted from our bodies, please capture him as soon as possible!"

After the cold mechanical voice finished, the taxi made a U-turn at the hotel entrance and drove back toward the Jichang direction.
