Operation Sunbeam / 阳光计划

Operation Sunbeam / 阳光计划 is the MI6 handling project around [[OlegGordievsky|Oleg Gordievsky]] in 80.间谍与叛徒：恕我直言，007的故事弱爆了（上）. The episode presents it as a carefully staged recruitment process that began from files, Danish observation, Kaplan’s test contact, and gradual direct disclosure by British officers.

The operation’s first ethical and practical tension was that Gordievsky did not want to be treated as a purchased asset. He initially asked MI6 / British Secret Intelligence Service / 军情六处 not to harm his KGB / 克格勃 colleagues, not to secretly record or photograph him, and not to pay him. Those conditions make Ideological Defection / 意识形态叛逃 explicit while also foreshadowing later compromises in real intelligence work.

81.间谍与叛徒：恕我直言，007的故事弱爆了（下） shows Sunbeam reviving after Gordievsky signals that he is learning English and then reaches London. The operation’s mature phase is no longer only recruitment: MI6 must preserve his KGB credibility, use his reporting on Operation RYAN / 莱恩行动, and prepare for the moment when Operation Pimlico / 皮姆利科行动 becomes necessary.
