Continuation of the series “Intelligence Service.” How much do you know about how information is gathered about countries bordering our Far East? There are special features. And what is a private intelligence company? Are there, in our time, those who are willing to take risks and provide help based on ideological beliefs? What kinds of beliefs are these in the modern world, if they exist at all? The first results of stubborn work: how illegal residents grow legal sources of information. Careful first contacts with the criminal underworld—its legal side. Should one cross boundaries and configure operations with the underground part of crime? How do they view it in military intelligence? Using the example of one combat episode—in a fictional form, I’ll tell you how the principle “the enemy of my enemy” works.
