Ahndike didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky.

Let's talk about luck, Xiao Andek fell into Gao Yi's hands, and said it was unlucky, Xiao Andek has not died yet, and he was unconscious throughout the whole process and didn't know what happened.

Gao Yi and Panetta left the president's office one after another, Gao Yi was ahead because he wanted to open the door for Panetta.

There were many people standing outside the door, but Panetta did not mean to say hello to anyone. He walked silently through the corridor where people stood on both sides. His goal was clear and he did not stop halfway.

"My position needs to be transferred, and the director of the CIA cannot continue to serve as a part-time position."

There was no one in the corridor. Panetta suddenly said, Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Congratulations."

It is hard to say whether Panetta succeeds or fails in the sidelines, but since he is on the side of the president, the president must give him enough rewards.

It has been less than half a year since the promotion from the deputy director of the CIA to the director. Now it is necessary to be transferred again, so it is naturally a good news from the delivery room and the promotion has been promoted.

But Panetta did not stop, and he continued to whisper: "It's not necessarily a good thing, so don't rush to congratulate you."

Gao Yi was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but smile at Panetta, so he immediately said, "It must be a good thing to be promoted."

"I'm going to be promoted to Secretary of Homeland Security."

Panetta's understatement made Gao Yi so shocked that he almost dropped his chin.

Seeing Gao Yi's mouth wide open and his eyes were stunned, Panetta couldn't help but say, "What, I'm surprised?"

"I...congratulations!"

Can you not be surprised?

Although CIA is famous and is indeed the number one intelligence agency in the United States, the gap is still a bit big compared to the Department of Homeland Security.

The CIA has no missions on the United States, no law enforcement power, and no arrest power. Its main responsibility is to provide intelligence basis for the president. Then the CIA Director is the intelligence consultant of the National Security Council, which determines that the CIA has the highest status among many intelligence units, but that's it.

Several major intelligence units in the United States have a high degree of independence. The CIA director cannot order any other intelligence agency. At most, they can only play a coordinated role. They used to be able to take the lead, but now they have no such leading role.

The current intelligence upstart is the Department of Homeland Security.

The Department of Homeland Security established after 9/11 is not a department-level unit, but only the most important subordinate agencies include the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security (Transportation Security Administration), Customs and Border Protection, Citizenship and Immigration Services, the U.S. Secret Service, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and the U.S. Coast Guard Command (transferred to the U.S. Department of Defense during wartime).

Not to mention more detailed, as for the large units that the Ministry of Homeland Security can manage, which one is not a well-known large unit with real power, it is now under Panetta's management.

If we only follow the US legal principles, the Department of Homeland Security cannot enter the top ten, but in terms of actual power, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security ranks at least the top three among the most powerful positions in the United States.

The position is high and the real position is high and the power is simply from heaven to earth compared to an intelligence agency like CIA.

The reason why Panetta was able to become the Minister of Homeland Security is very simple, that is, the president found that he had a status in the United States, theoretically the highest-ranking person, but lacked practical control methods.

The president couldn't even use the Secret Service, which was responsible for protecting him.

The Secret Service's lip service is probably an important factor in making the president make up his mind.

The US Secret Service is under the management of the Department of Homeland Security. As long as Panetta becomes the minister, the next step is to start a major blood exchange.

Gao Yi didn't know much about the specific details here, but he knew that as long as Panetta was in this position for one day, he would be able to be stable for one day and be free for one day.

As long as Panetta gets in position, the FBI, NSA, and Secret Service will be bullshit in the future and they will all stand aside.

Gao Yi couldn't help but grin and began to smile.

Panetta knew Gao Yi's mood, and he said lightly: "Little Andyke, don't contact me anymore. I will arrange for someone to review. This person will be a little troublesome."

"Okay, I know, well, thank you."

Gao Yi wanted to take revenge on the Andek group, but he didn't want to get involved with the Andek. Panetta asked him to hand over the person, and there was no problem.

Panetta still maintained a steady pace and continued to whisper: "The CIA Director will be appointed by the president, but it is appropriate for my recommended candidate to be the deputy director. Those who perform well this time will be reused. Joelson performed well and asked him to be the deputy director."

Gao Yi immediately said, "Oh, then he must be very happy."

Gao Yi still does not have the strength of Feng Biao. He wants to flatter him now, but he doesn't know what to say, so he chose the safest way, that is, not to express any of his opinions.

You must clearly place your position and never start to float when you think you are of great use.

Panetta continued to whisper: "You put the people who have made contributions this time on the list. I know the situation of the CIA, but the people on the FBI and the Pentagon will also be rewarded. I just took over the Department of Homeland Security, and the middle and lower levels also need to have enough people."

The waters are rising, and Panetta's status is now extraordinary. The middle-level officials he mentioned are all vassal-like figures when they are taken out.

Of course, it is still limited to the intelligence system for the time being.

The perfect embodiment of a person who has attained enlightenment and ascends to heaven.

Gao Yi felt his heart beating, and he whispered: "Yes, I don't know what to say."
