Chapter 758 Intelligence
In a simple office, in a simple office, thick curtains blocked the bright sunlight outside the window. The thin light sprinkled in from the gaps in the curtains made the room look dim and shady. A magic net terminal was placed next to the desk, and a faint blue light was emerging above the projection crystal. The printing device connected to the terminal was running click-click. Between the gears and the rollers were rolled, white paper was printed with ink marks and sent to the tray.
The printed paper floated out of thin air, and was sent to the table as if it was held up by an invisible hand. It flipped in the air. After turning to the last piece, a faint sigh rang out of the room: "Oh..."
After a moment, the paper was folded up in the air and disappeared inch by inch. Then the shadows floated in the dim room. After the almost undetectable wind blew, the Magic Net terminal quieted down and the whole room fell into silence.
In Gao Wen's study, the warm air is blowing out the hot air softly and silently, resisting the deep winter cold outside the window. The incense placed in the corner emits a calming atmosphere, gradually dissipating with the faint air flow surrounding the room.
Gao Wenxin, who was sitting behind the desk, felt something, so he put down a document casually and raised his head: "I'm in a bad mood?"
"...Fortunately," Amber's figure emerged from the air and handed a folded document to Gao Wen. "You can take a look at the three internal service departments from the transformation area of the western river valley of the Holy Spirit Plain, the Pebo area in the southern area, and the Sulam Terrace in the eastern area."
Gao Wen took the document casually, carefully read the name and preliminary investigation briefing on it, but his expression did not change: "...It's okay, isn't it?"
"I didn't see it well," Amber curled his lips, "Some people are even more overdoing than the old nobles of the past."
Gao Wen looked at the half-elves with a smile: "Are you still not used to it?"
"...not that," Amber frowned, "I just feel sorry. Some people are indeed speculators who have been involved in the scrutiny and insufficient staff, but some, who have worked for the Department of Government during the Principality, were promoted from civilians and selected from progressive scholars, but..."
"It is a beautiful vision in the world, but it is impossible to achieve it in the end," Gao Wen shook his head. "Especially because we are developing too fast and we don't have time to thoroughly review and test every official in the Government Affairs Department. This situation is naturally inevitable. Sometimes, we cannot hope that a certain group of people has innate morality and conscience - this kind of thinking is no different from the so-called "noble theory of excellence", so we must use systems and laws to restrict order."
Just as Gao Wen had expected a long time ago, individual corruption occurred in the rapidly developing Cecil order. Moreover, due to the establishment of the empire, large areas of new areas were included in the jurisdiction of the Supreme Government Affairs Department. Some relatively remote areas could only establish temporary government affairs departments. A large number of grassroots officials were of varying quality, and the remote government affairs department and the Supreme Government Affairs Department were disconnected, and chaos in some areas was inevitable.
But although Gao Wen was sorry for these situations, he was not surprised.
From the beginning, he did not expect the order he created was flawless. He only hoped that everything he built would conform to the status quo and would be the most "suitable" for this era.
He believed that Amber, who walked in the dark and dealed with intelligence from all sides of the empire all day long, knew this very well.
"The Three Internal Affairs Department is just a means. After all, the Three Internal Affairs Department is also run by people," Gao Wen looked at Amber, "Cross supervision, long-term responsibility system, two-way tracing of responsibility, and the continuous improvement of follow-up systems on the basis of it in the future, as well as the implementation and maintenance of these systems, are the means to ensure long-term.
"On this basis, we should be glad now, because we can at least capture those people in time and list the list, which shows that many systems we set up in advance are effective and that someone can implement them. If one day your list is empty, then as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, you are really in trouble."
"It's a pity that most of the people in the Government Affairs Department are just executing orders," Amber sighed a little in his tone. "Some people think about the starting point behind those orders, and even fewer people can understand the logic and foundation of those orders. Almost no one can fully understand your huge system...Aren't you tired?"
Gao Wen smiled, not saying anything.
Two seconds later, he asked Amber: "What about you? Which type of person do you belong to?"
"I probably don't count any kind," Amber thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "I'm not a brain-loving person."
"In order to avoid overtime, you can't help but lose your IQ, you're also working hard," Gao Wen smiled helplessly, raised his hand and pointed to the document he was just reading. "Tifeng has already agreed to our proposals, including sending long-term ambassadors to each other, setting up embassies, expanding commercial cooperation and other projects. As for international students, they will send an inspection team before the beginning of spring, leading the team is Rosetta Augustus' eldest daughter, Matilda Augustus."
Amber blinked, and then found the corresponding information in his mind: "Matilda Augustus, 22 years old, Rosetta's eldest daughter, intelligent, excellent martial arts, good at one-handed swordsmanship, personal strength should be at a high level, and the specific level is unknown. He does not often appear in public, but has a good reputation in the circle of Tifeng aristocratic families. He is also called the flower of the Taefeng Empire due to his noble status, excellent character, and excellent knowledge...
"In addition, according to the Military Intelligence Bureau, the possibility of this 'Kaoren Flower' becoming the next Emperor Tifeng is about 40% - her younger brother, Prince Hadilan Augustus, is her strong competitor, and the latter has an advantage in inheritance priority because of his command of the Obsidian Imperial Guard. But this does not mean that the two have conflicts. At least so far, the relationship between Matilda Augustus and Hadilan Augustus is harmonious and respectful to the outside world, especially after the accidental death of Rosetta Augustus' eldest son, the relationship between the remaining two main heirs and other brothers and sisters is particularly united and harmonious.
"I only have so much information here. After all, it involves the top leaders over there, and that's all the information outflows."
"Is it a standard and perfect image setting..." Gao Wen touched his chin thoughtfully, "and he always felt that he had heard of similar people somewhere..."
Amber didn't understand what Gao Wen meant for a moment: "Hmm? What do you want to say?"
Gao Wen's thoughts were gradually relaxed: "I'm thinking about pulling Veronica out and letting these two fight for a duel. Which one do you think will be more powerful?"
Amber was confused: "...Why put them together? Because they are all princesses? But Veronica has already..."
"Because they have a good personality...ah, no, don't care," Gao Wen waved his hand, "I just said casually, and there was no intention."
"Oh..." Amber scratched her hair, because the old Zongzi in front of her often had some thoughts that ordinary people could not understand or say some inexplicable sluts. She had long been accustomed to this, and she didn't ask questions at this moment. She just silently remembered Gao Wen's strange words just now and was about to turn around and say them to Veronica.
"Speaking of this, aren't you going to let the two special 'citizens' in Solinburg play some role?" After thinking for a while, Amber said again, "One is hanging on to perform photosynthesis, and the other main job is to label the crystal jars dug out of the ruins and study the photosynthesis of giant trees. It always feels like they are really wasted with their special identities."
Gao Wen knows what amber refers to.
Bad Wendel, who studies photosynthesis of giant trees in the Solinburg area, and Belltila Augustus, who performs photosynthesis all day long. These two are Cecil's two most special "citizens", especially when it comes to Tifeng's affairs, their identities are amazing.
The former is the father of Tifeng's current general wolf, and the latter is the ancestor of Tifeng's current emperor.
I always feel that as long as I push these two people to the border at the right time, the military and political leaders and a large number of important figures in Tifeng pressed their chests and shouted "nooooo--"
If you are lucky, you can still kill a few people with high blood pressure on the spot.
The biggest difficulty of this entire process is that it is difficult for Belltila to be pushed to the border line. In a short period of time, the Druid Institute of Solinburg should not be able to solve Belltila's cutting transplant problem. Belltila herself may have leveled the entire Eastern Corridor and the Changfeng Twelve Fortress in one breath... If she could successfully pull out her roots from the ground.
But it is precisely because these two people are too special and are two big names with too influential power that Gao Wen is unwilling to use and expose them early, but instead hides their information.
"These two cards are too big," he shook his head. "Now it is just a waste to shake the will of Tifeng people. Rosetta can have countless ways to eliminate the impact of 'rumor'. It's better to save it for the future, which will have a greater effect."
Amber exhaled slightly: "I understand."
Gao Wen rubbed his eyebrows, soothing his tight nerves for a while.
"Is there anything you need to report in Office 25?" he asked casually.
"The main work at present is to design plans for the fluctuations of the mind network. According to the intelligence recently sent by Daniel, the worst case is that the mind network is temporarily or permanently interrupted - we will have to temporarily implement the "frozen" plan on Daniel's line, and then wait for an opportunity to use other means to restore contact with Daniel and his surrounding intelligence personnel. Fortunately, there are some backup dark lines in Tifeng's development so far. Daniel's apprentice, Tifeng's emerging investment merchants, and the little nobles in Tifeng who are exposed to in the "trajectory plan" are all people who have been attracted by us or have been controlled by us. The intelligence network there is no longer completely reliance on Daniel's personal activities as before..."
Amber reported clearly, while Gao Wen nodded slightly while listening.
——The "trajectory plan" mentioned by Amber is a general term for various actions that contact the grassroots nobles and down-and-out knights during the process of exporting magic trains in Tifeng, and wait for an opportunity to infiltrate or send personnel to make contact with them to monitor them, thereby establishing a regular intelligence channel.
This plan has been implemented for almost a whole year. Although it is still in its early stages, it has achieved some results.
The power of capital is powerful, especially when it is in an environment with weak monitoring, and those "investment aristocrats" who have just tasted the sweetness are almost unable to fight its temptation.
In the report, Amber did not mention what should we do if the intelligence system established in the Eternal Sleeper Cult after the collapse of the Mind Network is obvious. If the Mind Network really explodes, the Eternal Sleeper Cult... should have exploded...
"Next... I hope everything goes well with Daniel," Gao Wen leaned on the chair, his eyes were quiet and his tone was leisurely, "I hope the senior management of the Eternal Sleeper can be smarter and more alert."
...
The Imperial Empire of Tifeng, Aldernan, and within the mage area near Obsidian Palace.
When the fog is getting higher, the already weak sunlight spills into the room obliquely, blocked by the half-closed curtains, making the room look dim. On a wide easy chair, the old wizard in daily necessities is lowering his head and spending his afternoon leisure time in a light sleep.
The dark-haired Mary sat at a square table near the instructor, lowered her head and wrote the high-level paper carefully.
Suddenly, the apprentice flipped the paper, and the sound of the pen tip moving stopped completely, and it didn't sound again for a long time.
Daniel immediately opened his eyes and looked in Mary's direction: "Why, which question can't be done?"
The next second, the old mage's leisurely and calm expression became serious.
He saw the black-haired apprentice sitting at the square table turn towards him, and that face has been replaced by another face at some point.
The sunlight that sprinkles into the room from the window and the dust particles flying in the sun are all stagnant.
"Daniel," said the apprentice "Mary" looking at the old wizard and lightly, "Let's learn something from you."
(Mom!!!!!!
Use up all the manuscripts, and the food is peaceful.
I feel like my body is hollowed out... I will return to the single update state for a while. I will adjust and then slowly save the manuscript... Don't worry, after the manuscript is saved, there will be such a continuous double update state.
Finally, for the sake of double updates during this period, please vote for those who still have votes =.=, let’s go and tell each other, and fattening should be slaughtered~~~)
Chapter completed!
