The CIA's investigations have always been carried out in secret, and they have installed their own people at the Taj Mahal casino where Ivankov works, but not many people in the casino have actually seen Ivankov's face.
So there are not many people who understand the situation.
Yuri's casino is now run entirely by professional managers, and all Yuri needs is the situation of the casino's funds.
Because the casino is private, the accounts are entirely managed by Yuri.
The turnover of the casino is in the millions every day, and sometimes on holidays, the turnover alone will exceed 10 million, and it is simply too difficult to find traces of money laundering in so many accounts.
The CIA's internal response did not find out about Taj Mahal's money laundering activities, they only wanted to know if this Ivankov was the same thief that Ben Ali said.
Since learning that Ivankov has diplomatic status in the Vatican, the CIA has been communicating with the Vatican, asking what Ivankov's diplomatic status is all about, but the Vatican is secretive about it.
Because this matter involved the Pope's covert support for the Polish Solidarity trade union, Seryosha used this as a threat to obtain diplomatic immunity for Yuri and Ivankov.
If the Vatican side does not abide by the agreement, then Seryosha does not mind making this matter public, and then the Vatican will suffer the wrath of the Soviet Union, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Legally, the CIA simply had no way to legally investigate Ivankov.
So they can only use illegal means to carry out the mission.
Therefore, after trying various methods without progress, the CIA hit the idea on Ben Ali, who was tortured and did not look like a human and a ghost.
Their plan was for Ben Ali to find a way to lure Ivankov outside the United States and then kidnap him under the guise of an armed group, so that the U.S. government could not be blamed for anything that the Vatican was not happy with.
So Ben Ali, who was imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, was once again taken seriously by the CIA.
They hatched a good show, intending to organize a large-scale arms sale to lure Ivankov into the trap.
But before that, Ben Ali, who had been gone for months, had to return to Escobar's side.
Because only then can this plan be realized.
In order to better control Ben Ali, the CIA also took his family hostage.
Ben Ali was forcibly sent to Escobar's side.
Although he had been away for nearly two months, he still managed to bluff the past.
The C.I.A. gave Ben Ali two options, either to report Escova's whereabouts to the C.I.A., or to find a way to get Ivankov in Colombia.
Escobar Ben Ali would never dare to provoke, the lesser of two evils, Ben Ali chose to betray Ivankov.
So after returning to Medellín for about a week, Ben Ali said to Escobar: "Mr.
Escobar, should we let Mr.
Ivankov come to Medellín, our troops are about to become an army, do we purchase some recoilless guns, this kind of thing is the most suitable for dealing with the armored forces of the Colombian government army, and we also need some shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles and shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles" Ben Ali then suggested buying some Soviet Gas, and then attaching recoilless guns to the cars, so as to avoid the purchase of expensive armored vehicles, and at the same time improve the mobility of the troops.
Many of the North African guerrillas did this.
Ben Ali quietly looked at Escobar's expression as he listed what he needed.
He was terrified of what Escobar would see.
If it weren't for the fact that his family was controlled, he would never have done such a thing.
In any case, Ivankov can be regarded as a favor to him.
"You have a point, we should indeed let them come to Medellín to discuss," Escobar replied absentmindedly, he hadn't really listened to Ben Ali, he was wondering about another thing, that is, when the money lent to the Gorky Brotherhood would be repaid, and that would not go wrong.
That's more than $10 billion, and this money was originally used to buy the lives of several big drug lords of the Medellín group, but unfortunately the Colombian government does not know how to raise it.
Escobar's proposal to exonerate the leaders of the Medellín group on the condition of helping the Colombian government to repay its foreign debt, as well as to legalize their property, was rejected.
But it doesn't matter, Escobar is the king of Medellín, and the mayor of Medellín is always him if he wants.
After some discussion, Escobar agreed to contact Ivankov for a trip to Medellín.
Ben Ali told Escobar that Ivankov had been kind to him and wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with Ivankov.
Escobar did not suspect that there was a deception, and it was up to Ben Ali.
Escobar dialed Ivankov in front of Ben Ali while Ivankov was basking in the sun on a yacht in the Caribbean.
He put down the iced drink in his hand, then picked up the satellite phone.
"Ivankov, how are you doing?"
Escobar greeted.
"Not bad, why did you have the heart to remember to call me," Ivankov asked bluntly.
"We Colombian girls miss you and want to ask when you'll be able to come again," Escobar asked jokingly.
"Ha, how can I be such a charming old fellow, let's say, what the hell is going on," Ivankov asked.
"We're looking for a new batch of weapons, by the way, what about your investment," Escobar asked with concern.

"I don't know about the investment, but I'm sure that Mr.
Nikolai will not have any problems, so let's tell me what weapons you want first," Ivankov asked straight to the point.
"It's basically guns, cannons, and whatever, but other than that, I want to customize two different things, which are a bit complicated, and I can't explain them on the phone, so you'd better come over," Escobar said suddenly.
"What the hell is it, tell me first, I'll help you ask," Ivankov asked curiously.
Escobar said: "Submarines, submarines that can quietly cross the Caribbean Sea.
I need the kind of C that is not too complicated and easy to master, and now that the blockade of the Americans is very strict, I need to use submarines to transport cargo to the United States" t1706231537:
