Continuation of the “Undercover Intelligence” series. How much do you know about how information is obtained about the countries bordering our Far East? There are features. What is a private intelligence company? Are there those in our time who are willing to take risks and provide assistance due to ideological convictions? What kind of beliefs are these in the modern world, if they exist? The first results of hard work. How illegal residents acquire legal sources of information. Cautious first contacts with the criminal world, its legal part. Is it worth crossing boundaries and setting up work with the underground part of crime? How do military intelligence feel about this? Using the example of one of the combat episodes, I will tell you in artistic form how the principle of “the enemy of my enemy” works.
