Chapter 1247 We Are All Used to It
Xiao Peng lit a cigarette. He never expected that he was being monitored. It seemed that he would have to use a satellite phone for all his calls in the future.
These Americans are really despicable!
"No!" Xiao Peng suddenly slammed the table and stood up. If it was true that everyone around him was being monitored, then wouldn't the content of Walter's phone calls be heard?
As he slammed the table, there was a knock on the door, and it was Walter who came in: "Boss, why are you slamming the table?"
Xiao Peng sighed and said, "I just got some bad news."
Walter asked, "What bad news?"
Xiao Peng said, "We're being monitored. I'm afraid someone has already found out about me asking you to call and investigate PETA."
“Oh.” Walter didn’t react after hearing this: “Boss, don’t worry, no one should find out.”
Xiao Peng was shocked after hearing this. "Huh? Why do you say that? Ivan said he has evidence that the Americans and Danes are colluding to spy on European politicians. There's evidence that proves I'm on the surveillance list, and maybe because I'm from Daxia, the communications of everyone around me are being monitored, and naturally, you're included."
Walter said, "Boss, it's no secret that the Americans are monitoring us. This has been a long-standing habit. Basically, we in Germany have been under surveillance since the signing of the 'Fiber Optic Cable Agreement' in 1998. We soldiers are different from those politicians. At GSG9, the intensity of our training for confidentiality is absolutely as strong as our tactical training. Basically, we all have the idea in our heads that we are all under surveillance at all times."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "Isn't this work of yours too tiring?"
"Boss, we also need to develop. How can we develop if we don't? You may not know that Germany was once ranked second in the world for a period of time, and then the Americans suppressed it and it became what it is now. We want to be obedient in Europe, and if we don't... aren't your country and Russia examples?" Walter spread his hands: "Our country is not like your two countries. One is strong enough and the other has a sufficient production system. Our country is too small to withstand their suppression. It can only be like this. You see, every time Europe and Daxia are at odds, we in Germany say one thing, but we still cooperate when we should. Boss, don't worry, we are all professionally trained. So we have special communication methods and language methods. Including every corner of this house, we check every day to see if there are any monitoring devices - we do the same on our ships."
Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up: "So fucking professional! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Walter said: "Boss, actually we wanted to tell you this a long time ago, but we were afraid that you would have different thoughts after hearing what we said, so we didn't tell you about it and just did all the precautions."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said helplessly: "Walter, if you have something to say in the future, just say it directly, don't hide it. Is this fun?"
Walter nodded and said, "Boss, I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future!"
Xiao Peng didn't know what to say. Even if Walter said he would pay attention, after all, their identities were "boss and employee". There is no such thing as a boss and an employee always being of the same mind.
What does a boss mean to an employee? It's someone who says, "You're important, we can't live without you," while searching for a more suitable replacement. Walter's work ethic is top-notch, but he's also incredibly cautious.
Of course, his behavior also shows that he cherishes this job very much. It depends on how you look at it.
Walter said, "Boss, you don't have to worry too much about the monitoring."
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why?"
Walter explained, "Boss, don't think monitoring is that simple. What do the Americans rely on for monitoring? They monitor Denmark's submarine cables. The submarine cables process so much data every day. It takes a lot of manpower to monitor them at a specific point. So they use other methods."
"Another way?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
Walter took out his phone and said, "For example, installing a backdoor in your phone. This backdoor doesn't just refer to the backdoor in the app, but the backdoor in the phone itself. The reason your Huawei phone was sanctioned is because it doesn't have a backdoor and occupies such a large market share, making it difficult for the Americans to conduct better surveillance."
Xiao Peng laughed. "So this patriotism also involves personal safety? Then why don't you use your phone?"
Walter said, "In fact, we've discussed this issue before. Although we haven't found backdoor vulnerabilities in your phones like the American phones, we can't guarantee that your phones don't have such backdoors. Perhaps it's because of new technology that we can't discover them. You have a saying in Daxia, 'Fear of wolves in front and tigers behind,' which describes our mentality."
Xiao Peng didn't know what to say after hearing this. Ordinary people viewed things differently from the national level. Perhaps in the eyes of the Germans, Daxia was even more terrifying and dangerous than the Americans.
"Well, but Kasim said he found a lot of surveillance footage of me and the people around me." Xiao Peng said, "If there's nothing wrong with my phone, how do you explain this?"
Walter explained, "As I said, they monitor us through Denmark's submarine cables. These cables process an incredible amount of data daily, far too much for even computers to process. And if they conduct targeted surveillance without a backdoor, monitoring just one person would require a team of several, or even more than a dozen people. They monitor for keywords: when they detect 'keywords' in a communication signal, they filter out the content containing the keywords and try to find our communications. If we use satellites for communication, it would be even more difficult for them to monitor us, requiring them to intercept the satellite signals. We use Daxia satellite signals, which are encrypted. Every time a communication connection fails, the satellite signals change, making interception and decryption even more difficult. We have so many people traveling around, and if they really wanted to do that... I'm afraid the annual cost of our two ships would be hundreds of millions..."
At this point, Walter looked at Xiao Peng without saying a word, but he was afraid that the words "Are you worthy of it" would be written on his face.
Xiao Peng understood what Walter meant: "I understand now that you explained it this way. So we just need to pay more attention and don't worry too much!"
"That's true, Boss." Walter hesitated and asked, "Boss, what happened today that made you so angry? This is the first time I've seen you like this."
