Chapter 376: Chapter 354: Doubts (Subscription Request) Chapter 376: Chapter 354: Doubts (Subscription Request) Fang Ranran was right.
At the headquarters of the Security Bureau, a strategic eting was being held on the “New Espionage Bureau Commander.”
Including Fang Xianzheng, all mbers of the Holand Security Committee except for the second in command were present at the eting to receive a special report from the Federal Security Bureau’s “Central Intelligence Center.”
“Based on the past life trajectory of this Lin Hao, he appears to be a typical conservative from the Celestial Poles, born in the Silver Moon County during the Great Song era.
He was a local governnt servant’s son, influenced by the prevalent public opinion climate in the Great Song, harboring hostility and even hatred toward us humans.”
“—This individual displayed exceptional talent and outstanding abilities during his ti in Silver Moon County and Wang City, eventually erging prominently and gaining the appreciation of the Third Divine Envoy, which led to his promotion as the Espionage Bureau Commander.”
“He had an excellent reputation locally for his stern uncorrupt nature.
By the standards of the Great Song’s officialdom, he was remarkably incorruptible, and he harbors an extre animosity towards demons, almost eradicating all the local demons during his tenure, possibly influenced by his father who was killed by a demon.”
“In Wang City, he was also involved in two cases related to the Federation’s different beings, which allowed him to purge the local mariti authorities and execute the censor of Sha Province, also leading to the downfall of Yuan Chengkai, the governor of Sha Province.”
“—Just ten days after Lin Hao took office as the Espionage Bureau Commander, he solved two cases related to Heavenly Demons from outside our domain.
Recently, he also survived an assassination attempt by an organization of different beings.
Up to now, the bodies of different beings killed by him total over 500, including 20 of at least major rank and even two reserve marshals, significantly weakening our reserve forces.”
“Currently, under the pretenses of the Luo Family Estate Case and the Heavenly Demon framing the Imperial Censor Case, he has obtained significant authority from the Divine Envoy to purge the Great Song’s justice departnt, the capital prefecture, and directly the Feathered Forest.
The Feathered Forest has been particularly hard hit, leading to the arrest of three different beings and forcing over twenty different beings into exile—”
“Thus, our Intelligence Center believes we must be very alert.
...
While he serves as the Espionage Bureau Commander, it might be an unprecedented dark period for the different beings within the Great Song territory.”
At this mont, Fang Xianzheng raised his hand, “Wait a mont, your Intelligence Center is making this judgnt rather hastily, aren’t you?
I’ve looked at his records; this individual has not yet shown any tendency towards hostility against the Heavenly Demons.
Your conclusion that Lin Hao harbors hostility towards us humans is insufficiently supported.
Moreover, based on the cases he has been involved in, it seems that our different beings have rely fallen into his hands.
It appears that this man is a master of political maneuvering, adept at using demon-related cases to strike at political enemies.
Lin Hao is extraordinarily capable, but he is certainly not a pure conservative.”
The Director of the Central Intelligence Center, a two-star Marshal, furrowed his brows.
He then spoke respectfully, “Vice Chairman Fang, it is true that our different beings have suffered heavy losses because of him.
Also, Lin Hao’s ntor, the Third Divine Envoy Luo Wangshu, was known in his early years for his bloody and ruthless thods against different beings, creating deep enmity with Earth’s major different being organizations.
Given that Lin Hao is a disciple Luo Wangshu greatly values, his personal inclinations and style of conduct can be estimated.”
“So there still isn’t conclusive evidence, right?”
A smirk appeared at the corner of Fang Xianzheng’s mouth, a glint of mockery in his eyes.
“I want to know, was the establishnt of the ‘Lin Hao Special Counterasures Unit’ based on your Intelligence Center’s own judgnt, or was it soone else’s directive?”
At this mont, including the First Marshal, everyone inside the Holand Security Committee looked tense, their gazes sharply turning towards the Director of the Central Intelligence Center.
All of them realized that this eting was being driven by the power of a certain four-star Marshal.
The Counterasures Unit suggested by the Intelligence Center would not only require significant manpower and resources from the Security Bureau but also a special governnt budget appropriation.
Sitting in the chairperson’s seat, the First Marshal wore an expressionless face, yet a smirk also appeared in his eyes.
This ti, his old friend must have been severely hurt, thus seeking to harness governnt resources to restrain Lin Hao.
The Director of the Central Intelligence Center remained composed, his expression unchanged.
“I don’t understand the Vice Chairman’s implication.
Regarding Lin Hao, our determination was based on a comprehensive analysis of all the relevant intelligence.”
Fang Xianzheng wanted to continue his questioning, but at that mont, he received a ssage.
After glancing at it, a small smile lifted the corners of his mouth, and he backed off from the discussion, “I have no more questions.”
The essence of politics is about relationships and the exchange of interests.
Since soone had provided him sufficient benefits, Fang Xianzheng naturally would not obstruct the establishnt of the ‘Lin Hao Special Counterasures Unit.’
About half an hour later, after the strategy eting concluded, the First Marshal returned to his office.
His gaze, sharp and deep, stared out at the dark starry sky through the floor-to-ceiling window.
To prevent the important institution of the Security Bureau from being influenced by different political bodies and base cities of the Federation, its headquarters had been established outside in space near the Celestial Poles, forming a massive space base solely for the Security Bureau.
Similarly, the headquarters for five major fleet groups of the Federation Star Navy stationed near the Celestial Poles were also located in outer space.
Due to the rotation and revolution of celestial bodies, from the First Marshal’s office, one could currently see the headquarters base of the Second Fleet Group.
The First Marshal was wondering about his old friend’s intentions.
And about the Longevity Association that his old friend had joined, was its purpose truly just to pursue longevity?
The Supre Commander had always tacitly approved the existence of Longevity, solely because “the Abyss” and “Longevity” were essential for the Earth Federation.
Any single Abyss from the Heavenly Star poses an imnse threat to the Earth Federation; two to three of the eight Abyss could easily annihilate their fourteen base cities, even destroy their mother planet, Earth.
Fortunately, the surface and core of the Heavenly Star are mortal enemies, which restrained each other.
This rivalry had provided humanity with the ti to develop bio-ard martial arts.
The Earth Federation could coexist with the people of the Heavenly Star, as advocated by East Asia, through equal interactions and mutual benefits via trade.
But how could they talk about equality when humans couldn’t match the power of the people from the Heavenly Star?
The existence of their civilization depended on the other, how could the major political bodies within the Federation be at ease?
However, from the situation at the Luo family estate, his old friend had obviously broken the rules.
It wasn’t about pursuing Longevity but about large-scale experintation and manufacture of bioweapons!
Regrettably, Lin Hao, in command of the assassination bureau for political struggle purposes, did not deeply investigate the bioweapon experints, causing the Supre Commander great frustration.
What displeased the Supre Commander even more was that none of the officials from the 14 divisions and headquarters of the Federal Security Bureau could take up a supervisory position in the assassination bureau to lead the investigation.
He suspected that the East Asia National Security Bureau might be involved, but he couldn’t confirm it.
The Supre Commander subsequently accessed the internal human resource database of the Federal Security Bureau and began considering personnel issues for the “Lin Hao Special Tactics Office.”
Regarding this office, several council mbers led by Fang Xianzheng had obviously received enough benefits from soone and had finally green-lighted it.
The Supre Commander had no intention of stopping it, considering the talent and capabilities Lin Hao had shown, the Security Bureau would sooner or later need to establish a special departnt for him.
This person would undoubtedly beco a new star in the future Grand Song Dynasty and must be paid attention to early.
Moreover, this was beneficial for the Security Bureau to demand a budget from the governnt and seek organizational support, as maximizing departntal interests is the instinct of every departnt head, the Supre Commander included.
However, the Supre Commander also wished to control the personnel of this departnt, allowing him to arrange staffing according to his own will.
His old friend only wanted to use the power of the Security Bureau to restrain and strike against Lin Hao without much ambition in this regard.
But just monts later, the Supre Commander’s face darkened, and he opened soone’s communication tab.
Supre Commander: Zhou Yunfei, what are you playing at?
It was one thing for that Third Special Action Group of yours to temporarily transfer two generals from the East Asia National Security, but now you also secretly want to relocate three more generals from headquarters to join?
Supre Commander: Why did you not report this?
What specifically is the reason?
I’m curious, what kind of mission over there requires the mobilization of so many sixth realm mutant practitioners?
Zhou Yunfei was sitting in his office watching a video of Xu Yu being killed, his eyes gleeful.
After receiving the ssage, his scalp tingled, yet he had no choice but to stiffen up and respond.
Zhou Yunfei: Supre Commander, as far as I am aware, this remains within the jurisdiction of the Second Supre Commander and does not need to be specifically reported to the Holand Security Commission.
Moreover, the Second Supre Commander has ample reason for doing so.
Zhou Yunfei: Due to the confidentiality principle, I cannot report the specifics to you.
If the Supre Commander wishes to know more, you may inquire the Second Supre Commander.
With Lin Rui almost being eliminated this ti, Zhou Yunfei could not help but continue to draw manpower to strengthen Lin Rui’s security forces.
The response from Zhou Yunfei caused the Supre Commander’s eyes to sharpen.
What sort of confidence did Zhou Yunfei have to act in this way?
The Supre Commander then saw the communication icon of the Second Supre Commander.
For the experint in the Abyss, his colleague had been in deep sleep far too long, having not awakened for a full half year,
Without this Second Supre Commander to share the pressure, the Supre Commander often felt overwheld—
