The people read history
Do you believe cats can be spies? Does it really have the qualities of being a spy?
Cats are smart and agile, with the conditions of spying, everyone knows that cats are very smart and clever, some cats are spiritual, and most cats are agile and athletic.
Therefore, cats have really been spies in history...
Today, Yida will talk to you about the secrets that the CIA does not dare to disclose, and has spent tens of millions of training spy cats to steal secrets, but the result is very unexpected...
"Eavesdropping cat" nine-eared dog
In the TV series "Code Name Nine-Eared Dog", there is a "well-trained" "eavesdropping cat", which is called the Nine-Eared Dog.
In the play, the cat is favored by the male protagonist Fu John, who hides a bugging device in its bell and becomes an alternative agent, playing an irreplaceable role.
Because only it can enter and exit the enemy's casinos and izakaya without being caught, and even if it is caught, it will not give up its undercover identity.
And it also has an advantage that no one can match, that is, the salary is extremely low, and it only takes two fresh fish to do it.
CIA SecretLy Plans to "Eavesdrop on Cats"
Of course, there have been cats as spies in history. In the 60s of the last century, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, it can be said that it was the most tense period of espionage in history, in order to obtain the intelligence of the opponent, the United States and the Soviet Union did everything to the extreme, and all kinds of black technology and brain holes were played to the extreme.
At that time, the US intelligence agency, the CIA, came up with a plan that had been a highly secretive plan in the United States: "eavesdropping on cats."
The CIA's technology department first surgically modified the cat, implanting a microphone in the cat's ears, implanting a transmitter and battery near the neck, then installing an antenna along the cat's spine, and then letting the cat undergo a series of training to learn to follow the command, deliberately putting the cat near the other embassy, and letting it lurk on the window sill, bench, and trash can to "eavesdrop" on the Soviet conversation and obtain intelligence.
The CIA thought the plan was perfect, and who would have thought a cat would be a spy? Even if the other party is specialized in intelligence, it will not suspect and guard against a cat.
Spend twenty million years training cat spies
However, in the process of training, they found a difficult situation, the CIA found that the cats would "leave the post without authorization" once they were hungry, and during the trial, most of the audio they finally harvested was basically bird song and dog barking.
Of course, how difficult is it to get the CIA, they spent a full $20 million, spent 5 years, and finally developed the "hunger reduction" surgery, and finally gave birth to the first "eavesdropping cat" that can be put into actual combat.
As it turns out, they're also not the best eavesdroppers, and there's a little bit of pressure at the same time.
Their first operation was to have the "eavesdropping cat" go to a park near the Soviet Embassy in Washington to eavesdrop on a conversation between two Soviets in the park.
The CIA drove the car to the park, put the eavesdropping cat out of the car, and unexpectedly, the cat only walked a few meters, and was hit by a passing taxi, which was not a cat, it was a proper twenty million dollars. In this way, their plan has not yet officially begun.
The CIA made many unsuccessful attempts and finally abandoned the plan altogether, which was kept secret for decades until documents on the plan were declassified in 2001.
Believe it or not, it always feels like the cats were sent by someone to spy on us.
