President Marcos paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah."
Sometimes arms trade is also a matter of attitude, but Gong Kaichen prefers to wait until Marcos transfers the deposits before discussing further cooperation.
Chapter 70 The Luzon Coup
Marcos is dealing with domestic assets, which are to be secretly transported to a major Eastern power, so all of this will take time.
The Spark Program executive group gave him enough time, and by the time Marcos had finished, it was 86.
At this point, the situation in Luzon was already extremely precarious.
William Walden was incredibly surprised by what he saw, wondering if what that person had said was true.
By this time, Marcos had decided to call an early election, and after negotiating with the domestic opposition, the final date for the election was set for February 7.
At this point, the domestic election situation was extremely unfavorable for Marcos, as his approval rating had plummeted to a low point.
So Marcos did two things:
Firstly, he decided to initiate military trade negotiations with Eastern countries, attempting to secure a powerful external ally to stabilize the domestic election situation.
Secondly, he decided to do some underhanded things during the election, which is to put it bluntly, election fraud.
The first method did improve Marcos's election prospects to some extent, but it was clearly not enough.
Therefore, Marcos decided that he would commit fraud in the election.
When Marcos won the election by cheating on February 7, the entire country of Luzon was in an uproar.
Millions of people held protests and demonstrations, while William Walden, also in Manila, arrived at a secret base.
Besides him, only one other person knew about this base, and that person was Fang Zhenhua.
Inside the secret base, William Walden looked at Fang Zhenhua with a complicated expression, and then asked a question that surprised even himself.
"Can you really make prophecies?"
"Comrade Walden, why would you say that?"
"Shit, according to our intelligence, Defense Minister Enrile and Acting Chief of the General Staff Ramos are about to launch a coup. They intend to seize the defense building and force Marcos to step down. But you already knew all this last year? Tell me you guessed right?"
Walden would never believe that anyone in this world could make a prophecy.
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
If someone could make predictions, then what the hell would we need scientists for? People like Einstein would be out of a job long ago.
"Comrade Walden, whether I predicted it or not, I was right, wasn't I?"
"You." Walden was speechless for a long time before he finally sighed and said.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"As the CIA's East Asia director, you should be well aware of the movements of the US military. I also believe that Marcos' last resort will definitely be to choose the US military. I don't want him to go to the US military base so easily, so I hope you can keep in touch with me at any time."
"What are you going to do?"
William Walden was no fool. As a senior CIA agent, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed in surprise.
"You want to kidnap Marcos? My God, that's the head of state. You're crazier than the CIA."
"So what? Do you think I can compare to the CIA? In your eyes, assassinating a head of state is a piece of cake, isn't it?"
"That was an assassination, this is a kidnapping, how can they be the same? Wait, you're not planning to use the US military's name later, are you?"
"Comrade Walden, sometimes being too clever is not a good thing. However, I don't intend to use the American army's name. Besides you, there is another very good target, isn't there?"
"You mean the Russian bear? The KGB?"
"Comrade Walden, I enjoy working with intelligent people, but I don't particularly like my partners who are too intelligent, because it might backfire on me, you understand? Don't ask too many questions, but I will definitely tell you what you need to know."
William Walden cursed inwardly, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger, since Fang Zhenhua held a huge amount of dirt on him.
This dirt on him is enough to kill him.
"But there's one more thing I want you to do."
"what's up?"
"I know about the KGB's intelligence station in Manila. Are you interested in taking them all down?"
"You sent our CIA to take out the KGB, and then you kidnapped Marcos. You're insane."
"Comrade Walden, the death of Marcos is a good thing for both of us. Taking down a KGB intelligence station is also a huge achievement for you, isn't it?"
"this..."
“Marcos is no longer of any use. His only remaining value is the huge amount of money he has overseas. As long as you help me secretly arrange for someone to enter the presidential palace and transfer his assets in the United States, I will not only give you a generous reward, but we will also do our best to help you afterward.”
Although in Walden's mind, Fang Zhenhua was an extremely despicable and shameless person.
However, after Fang Zhenhua revealed the address of the KGB intelligence station, he still decided to continue cooperating with Fang Zhenhua.
Getting both money and political achievements doesn't seem like a bad thing!
Of course, Fang Zhenhua would only let Walden handle Marcos's assets in the United States; as for other regions, he would not let Walden get involved.
After all, he had been planning for Marcos's fortune for a long time, and he absolutely could not allow any mistakes to happen with these more than 100 billion US dollars.
Now that his father-in-law has also made progress, this more than 100 billion US dollars is the best gift for Liu Zhongming.
Ten days later, the situation in Luzon had completely deteriorated.
On February 21st, the foreign military trade delegation of the great Eastern power requested a meeting with the President.
This was just a public meeting, seemingly intended to reassure Marcos.
Meanwhile, the CIA knew that there was a secret passage through the presidential palace, which was the route Marcos used to escape, leading directly to the US military's Clark base.
So this time, Fang Zhenhua personally led the team. In the early morning of February 22, he led five Wolf Fang Special Forces teams and infiltrated the passage.
Why choose February 22nd?
The reason, of course, is that on this day, Luzon is about to launch a coup.
Outside, there are 20 Wolf Fang Special Forces teams distributed around the entire perimeter of the Presidential Palace.
Clearly, the Wolf Fang Special Forces mobilized all its members this time to ensure that the kidnapping of Marcos would proceed without any problems.
After Fang Zhenhua led the Wolf Fang Special Forces team into the secret passage.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Luzon's Defense Minister Enrile and Acting Chief of Staff Ramos suddenly launched a coup, occupied the Defense Building, and publicly demanded Marcos's resignation, while also announcing their support for Corazon Aquino.
Marcos's supporters have completely collapsed.
Fang Zhenhua then led his special operations team forward along the passageway, at the other end of which was Marcos's presidential office.
Chapter 71 President Marcos, please come with us!
Inside the presidential office, facing the storms outside, Marcos was already on tenterhooks.
For him now, it seems that only one way out remains: to seek help from the Americans.
The coup d'état happened so fast that the great Eastern power has not yet been able to react.
Marcos summoned his brigadier nephew and instructed him to take everything he could from the presidential palace and then travel through a secret passage to the US military's Clark base.
After arranging everything, Marcos sat down in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he soon thought of something else, and then he called his nephew to tell him that he wanted to go to Clark Base ahead of time.
Marcos would never stay there foolishly, let alone stay with them. He only took his wife and children and left through a secret passage under the protection of the presidential guards.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhenhua, along with five special operations teams, was waiting in the secret passage.
This approach may seem passive, but Fang Zhenhua is confident that he can catch Marcos, who will surely escape.
On the other hand, William Walden was a CIA official, and thanks to the CIA's infiltration of Luzon, the intelligence Walden provided was 98% accurate.
In the underground passage, Fang Zhenhua listened quietly to the sounds ahead.
As time slowly passed, a hurried sound reached Fang Zhenhua's ears.
He immediately addressed all the soldiers.
"Wait, someone's coming. Everyone put on your hoods and absolutely no sound is allowed."
The footsteps grew closer, and all the special forces soldiers cocked their AKS rifles.
Marcos hurried forward, escorted by a group of guards. As he rounded a bend, he suddenly discovered a group of men in black ahead of him.
The dark muzzles of guns were pointed at them, and the leader of the men in black shouted in English.
"Everyone lay down your weapons, or you will be shot on the spot."
Marcos's expression changed drastically. He never expected that a group of mysterious people would appear during his escape, and these mysterious people looked very strange.
He immediately pushed his head guard, but Fang Zhenhua caught the moment.
With a bang, the head guard was shot in the head by Fang Zhenhua, and at that moment the other special forces soldiers immediately opened fire, killing all of Marcos's guards.
Suddenly, only Marcos remained in the passage.
Fang Zhenhua quickly walked a few steps to Marcos and said in a low voice.
"Mr. President, please come with us."
"Who are you? Where are you taking me?"
"I'll take you where you need to go, but it's not good to know too much about some things. Of course, if you really want to know, I can grant your request. We are KGB agents."
"What? I've never offended you, why are you arresting me?"
"Mr. President, I don't have time to waste with you right now."
As he spoke, Fang Zhenhua delivered a swift chop to Marcos's neck, knocking him unconscious.
He then immediately had Gao Dazhuang carry Marcos on his back and return along the same route.
The gunshots in the passageway drew the attention of the Presidential Palace.
When Marcos's nephew led his men inside, they found nothing but a pile of corpses; they found no trace of the president.
He crouched down and looked at the bullet casings left in the passage. After all, he was from the military procurement department, so he was no stranger to this kind of bullet.
This bullet is so special that only one country in the world uses it.
Brigadier General Marcos exclaimed in surprise.
"It was the Russians who did it; they kidnapped the president."
Just as Brigadier General Marcos discovered this, Fang Zhenhua had already brought the President of Luzon to the CIA's secret safe house.
No one would have imagined that people from a major Eastern power, impersonating the KGB, kidnapped the President of Luzon, and came to the CIA's territory.
Ironically, this seemingly impossible event became a reality through Fang Zhenhua's manipulation.
The CIA's safe house was just the first battle. No one would have imagined that, under the manipulation of William Walden, the CIA's East Asia director, Fang Zhenhua and two special operations teams would take Marcos to Hong Kong Island on a cargo ship from the island nation.
Hong Kong Island is the most suitable transit point. Back when they were in the safe house, Fang Zhenhua had already asked Gong Kaichen to call Hong Kong Island.
It was not arranged through official channels, but rather through a grassroots approach.
Huo Guantai, a wealthy man from Hong Kong Island, arranged a secluded room for Fang Zhenhua and his group in Yuen Long.
This room is specifically for dealing with Marcos. Fang Zhenhua wants to find out all of Marcos's overseas assets in this room.
Fang Zhenhua was on the cargo ship. Although he was aware of the situation, he still underestimated the potential consequences.
The president of Luzon has mysteriously disappeared in the underground passage of the presidential palace, and all of this points to the Russian bear in the north.
The Luzon Defense Minister and Chief of Staff, who orchestrated the coup, were dumbfounded.
We've already rebelled, and now you're telling me the president is missing?
At this critical moment, William Walden led CIA agents in a raid on the KGB intelligence station in Manila.
He not only purged the entire intelligence station, but also took the opportunity to leak a message.
The disappearance of Luzon President Marcos appears to be the work of the KGB's Manila intelligence station.
Since there's no way to verify anything now that they're dead, of course we should pin all the blame on the KGB.
