Chapter 190: The first meeting(1/2)
Qingkong told Luke about his encounter with Pan. At this time, Luke was reading the autographed letter written by the eldest princess Agatha to him.
Along with the handwritten letter, there was also a promotion order sent from the imperial capital.
"Hello, Inspector Meteor! Your actions and achievements in Raging Wave City have greatly surprised me. They far exceeded my expectations for you and made me re-examine your abilities.
Your Majesty also admired you very much and had the idea of transferring you back to the imperial capital to entrust you with important tasks, but I rejected it!
The situation in Raging Waves City is still unstable. If we rashly tease you back, we may lose our current achievements. The stability of Raging Waves City is related to the empire's governance for a long time in the future. I need you to continue to control the overall situation. I hope you can understand my intentions.
Be prepared to be stationed in Raging Wave City for a long period of time.
I guarantee that when you complete your mission and return to the imperial capital, you will definitely receive the reward you deserve.
In addition, in view of the particularity of the situation in Nutao City, I have opened a single-line correspondence channel with you. I will promptly inform you of the changes in the imperial capital's policy towards Nutao City, and you must also tell me everything that happened in Nutao City.
.
It is best to write me a letter every day, no more than two days apart.
There is a piece of information to tell you: After the empire's maritime neighbor, the Kingdom of Leo, was overthrown by rebels, a large number of Leo nobles fled into the empire to receive political asylum. In view of the previous friendly relations between the two countries, we gave them treatment consistent with their status.
These subjugated nobles behaved quite peacefully at first, but in recent years they have often held secret gatherings. In the past few days, many Leo nobles are gathering in Raging Waves City.
The Empire has established formal diplomatic relations with the Republic of Rio, and the relationship between the two countries has changed from hostility to relatively friendly. However, the Republic of Rio has been asking the Empire to extradite these exiled nobles, which is also a factor that affects the closer relationship between the two countries.
Big obstacle.
The empire has no intention of compromising with the Republic of Rio on this issue, nor does it want these exiled Rio nobles to do anything that affects the relationship between the two countries.
This is the job of the Imperial Secret Service, take good care of them!
…”
Luke read the letter several times, thinking about the information Agatha revealed to him in the letter.
First of all, the tone was not between superiors and subordinates. This confirmed Luke's suspicion that Agatha already knew that she was a fake. But she also knew that she had no way to deal with this fake. She could only maintain the attitude that everyone had seen through but didn't poke any holes in it.
Broken tacit understanding.
This relationship makes Luke very satisfied, and it is also a state he hopes to maintain.
Then the emperor wanted to transfer his own back to the imperial capital.
Yes, I made too much noise in Raging Waves City and almost caused a riot. Although the emperor was happy to receive the money, I am afraid he was also a little frightened. By transferring this troublemaker back to the imperial capital, he could not only control Raging Waves
With the situation in the city, we may be able to reap another benefit from the new nobles.
It was expected that Agatha would not transfer herself back to the imperial capital. She did not have the courage to reveal the mystery yet, so she could only find a way to persuade the emperor to let Inspector Meteor stay in Raging Waves City.
In short, Agatha wiped her butt clean this time; if anything happens in Raging Waves City in the future, she will continue to tell the truth.
The second half of the letter is normal business.
If Pan wants to restore his country, he can of course rely on the exiled Leo nobles. In the past, he had secret contacts with these exiled nobles. This time, he used the excuse of making friends with Mrs. Mihir and asked those exiled nobles to come to Raging Wave City. It should be
I would like to take this opportunity to come to Raging Wave City to give them more substantial help.
The Golden Shield Empire did not recognize the legitimacy of the Rio Republic at first, and even sent troops to defeat the newly established republic, intending to annex this land into the empire's territory. However, this time the empire stood on the opposite side of history.
The Republic of Austria received support from many countries. The Seven Years' War did not allow the empire to conquer the Republic of Rio. Instead, the long war became a major burden for the empire.
Later, the two countries ceased war, and then the two countries established diplomatic relations.
The former warring countries have become maritime trading partners that value each other very much.
Now the Golden Shield Empire doesn't want to cause trouble with the Republic of Rio over the issue of the exiled nobles, but it also doesn't want to extradite these exiled nobles back. The Republic of Rio also doesn't want to take advantage of these exiled nobles who can't afford to cause trouble.
The easing of relations between the two countries has become tense.
Therefore, although the two countries talk about these exiled nobles every time they meet officially, no results can be achieved every time.
In the past, these exiled nobles from Leo were quite peaceful, but this time they suddenly gathered in Raging Waves City, causing the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service to become nervous.
What to do?
Luke had no clue yet.
Leo's exiled nobles are a card used by the Golden Shield Empire to deal with the Republic of Leo. They may never be used in the future, but they must be kept. Therefore, they cannot be allowed to disappear collectively just because they come to Raging Waves City with ulterior motives. This pair of
This is a major international credit hit for the Empire.
Moreover, Pan is a Shuojin person, so in order to move him, there must be evidence that the Shuojin people have to believe.
Difficult to handle!
At this moment, Luke suddenly found out, how could he regard himself as a real imperial agent and start to think about issues in the interests of the empire?
Luke felt that he was asking for trouble. He shook his head mockingly, and then took out the promotion order.
The Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau abolished all Secret Intelligence Bureau branches in Nutao City except Haijiao District. The Secret Intelligence Bureau of Nutao City was established on the basis of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau Nutao City Haijiao District Branch.
Appoint Inspector Meteor as the chief inspector of the Empire's Secret Intelligence Bureau of Raging Waves City, with full authority to take charge of the secret intelligence work in Raging Waves City.
Got promoted!
Although the power given to him is what he already has, this appointment is justifiable. It can be regarded as a reward for the eldest princess to appease him.
In addition to promotion, Agatha also gave me a lot of substantial things.
A batch of weapons, a batch of graduates from the Intelligence Academy. A large bonus to reward the spies working for the empire in Raging Wave City.
This is what Luke wants.
Especially professional imperial agents, they are much easier to use than temporary agents. Tracking, kidnapping, extortion, silence... agents who have graduated from college can do it very neatly.
After reading Agatha's letter to him and the promotion order, Luke picked up a pen and wrote a reply.
"Dear Princess Princess! Many of the things I did in Raging Wave City were out of necessity. If I didn't do them... I would be dead.
The current situation is that I didn't expect it in advance, and it turned into this step by step. I know what happened here has brought you a lot of trouble. Fortunately, everything is under my control, and the result is also good for the empire.
Very beneficial.
Thank you for what you have done for me.
If there are no special events, I will try to keep Raging Waves City as it is and do my best to increase tax revenue for the empire. This is probably what your Majesty wants to see. Now the empire needs new nobles.
As for Leo's exiled nobles, I will keep an eye on them. According to the information I have received, they do have the intention of restoring the country and are preparing to communicate with overseas forces through Mrs. Mihir.
The Secret Intelligence Bureau of Raging Wave City will handle this matter well and will not let it affect the relationship between the Empire and the Republic of Leo. Please rest assured, Your Highness.
Next, my main work will be on developing the Cape District..."
Agatha wrote with sincerity, and Luke's reply was also sincere.
First, express his position and let Agatha know that he did these things out of necessity and did not deliberately play with her ideas.
Eliminating Agatha's worries will keep this tacit understanding alive.
Then Luke used a large amount of pen and ink on his vision for the development of the Cape District, letting Agatha understand that his appeal was only for this city. The empire acquiesced that this city was ruled by the meteor, so he would help the empire to control the city of Raging Waves.
.
Of course, it would be better if the empire could invest some money.
Luke, who had the idea of asking for money, wrote several pages of paper eloquently, then put it in an envelope and sealed it. Then he handed it to the secret agent and sent it directly to Agatha in the imperial capital through a special channel.
After sending the letter away, Luke looked at the time.
The cocktail party hosted by Mrs. Michel also sent an invitation letter to Luke, but Luke was not interested in this kind of entertainment, so he had no intention of going.
Now that Agatha has asked the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Raging Waves City to investigate this case, Luke feels that since he is a new official, he has to give the eldest princess this face.
I went to meet Pan and see what he wanted to do specifically. After all, the plot has changed a lot because of me. Now Pan and Yin coming to Raging Wave City are not in the game plot.
Luke rang the bell on the table, and Kylena next door quickly opened the door and came in.
"Inspector... no, it's the Chief Inspector!" As the Inspector, Kylena was the first to see the promotion order. Now she has told everyone the news: "Everyone is going to find a place to celebrate at night.
, Congratulations to the Chief Inspector on your promotion, and also on the upgrade of our Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau branch to the Nutao City Secret Intelligence Bureau. Come along..."
"You go and have fun. If I go, you won't have a good time. Stop drinking and come back early. Don't delay tomorrow's work." Luke packed his luggage: "Go and prepare a car for me. I want it."
Go to the Sparkling Hotel.”
Hearing that Luke was going to the Shuojin Hotel, Kylena asked: "Chief Inspector, it's so late... are you going to see Director Yin?"
"Yes, Mrs. Mihir invited me to attend a charity reception in the evening. I lacked a female companion, so I had to ask the music director for help..."
Kylena wanted to say that she could be a female companion, but she remembered her identity and held back.
"Yes, Chief Inspector, I will prepare a car for you immediately."
Luke knew his female secretary very well, whose emotions were written on her face. He smiled and said: "Don't think too much, Director Yin is a Shuojin person. I asked Director Yin to go to Mrs. Mihir's place,
I just want to get more money from the World Bank, and the Cape District needs too much money."
Kylena's mood suddenly became cheerful when she remembered that Shuojin people could not have lust.
"The Chief Inspector has to work so late at night. It's really hard work!"
…
Luke drove to the Shuojin Hotel alone, while Pan went out and left Yin alone in the room.
To be continued...
