The meeting room was bustling with noise and controversy.
Wang Tianxiong, who was sitting in the main seat, was not surprised by this. The meeting in the Divine Continent's Guardian's Supreme Office was different from the meeting in the military and political circles. There was basically no fixed time. Once something big happened in the secret service system, these people would sit together.
Everyone who was doing it could be said to be a top expert, Top martial artists rarely had a cold and deep temper. Therefore, every meeting was as noisy as a vegetable market. It was a small matter to curse or to fight. Wang Tianxiong had basically turned a blind eye to this phenomenon. He would only make a sound at the last moment and hammer it out.
This meeting of the Divine Continent's Guardian General Office was actually a small matter.
At the very least, on the surface, it was a trivial matter. If it wasn't for the fact that the identity of the person involved was unusual, such a trivial matter wouldn't even have the qualifications to be discussed at the meeting of the General Office.
A lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Secret Service who commanded the operation crippled a colonel who refused to obey his orders.
What a simple matter?
Before the mission, the commanding position of the lieutenant colonel had already been clarified, and it was also stated that the colonel and the others would cooperate with the lieutenant colonel in completing the mission.
If the colonel refused to admit his provocation, as the commanding lieutenant colonel, he could punish the other party severely, and the execution was not excessive.
Of course, if the lieutenant colonel wasn't strong enough and was punished by the colonel, it would be acceptable.
The Secret Service is well-ordered, but there is also one rule that applies to the world.
That was the respect of the strong!
So to put it simply, this was a small story about a colonel who was not strong enough to act tough but was crippled.
If it were in the past, these big shots here wouldn't even be in the mood to entertain themselves with such a trivial matter.
But this time, things were different.
The crippled Butterfly Vice Captain, Colonel Zhao Yunjie, was the nephew of Vice Prime Minister Jiang Mingshi.
Deputy Prime Minister Jiang Mingshi.
One of the leaders of the Southwest Faction was likely to become a leader of the Policy Bureau.
Jiang Mingshi was the most prestigious and popular amongst the seven leaders of the next Empire. At the very least, from the looks of it, no one could compete with him.
How could he not be angry that such a powerful figure and his high hopes for his nephew had been crippled?
But the person who personally ended his nephew's bright future also had a lot of background.
The junior brother of the Divine Continent's Guardian Chief Wang, the disciple of the first generation of the Empire's Guardian.
Not to mention that Jiang Mingshi had not yet become a member of the standing committee of the Policy Bureau, even if he was already a member of the standing committee of the Policy Bureau, Lin Xiaocao was not someone who could move just because he said so.
So the argument arose.
Because of the disturbance of the Ministry of Security, the southwest faction had lost a lot of blood in the special services system and was currently in a hurry to replenish their strength.
Therefore, whether it was Jiang Mingshi or the southwest faction, There was a reason to fight, to put pressure on Wang Tianxiong, to ask for an explanation for his nephew, or to take the opportunity to ask Wang Tianxiong for some compensation. These Wang Tianxiong didn't care, he didn't care if Jiang Mingshi was doing it for his nephew's uncle or for his cold-blooded politician. What he cared about was that Jiang Mingshi had moved.
It's good that you can't hold on.
Wang Tianxiong narrowed his eyes and looked at the angry Jiang Haisheng, his face flushed red. He chuckled in his heart.
Jiang Haisheng, First Secretary of the Beijiang Special Warzone, Strength is top-notch SSS +, Defense, Stamina, Spiritual will, Firearms control quadruple X, In the Divine Boat Empire's secret service system, As Jiang Mingshi's younger brother, the two brothers played a role in helping each other in the southwest faction and the empire's political arena. Both of them suffered from both glory and loss. This time, his sudden rage could be seen as Jiang Mingshi's attitude. It could also be said that he was the vanguard of the southwest faction.
The Empire's secret service system was complex and enormous. Tens of thousands of combat members and countless technicians formed all the secret war forces of this superpower in peacetime. All the secret service networks covered the entire Divine Ship Empire with the Divine Continent's protection of Nine Continents City as the center, and were divided into ten special service theaters.
East China Special Theatre, North China Special Theatre, West China Special Theatre, South China Special Theatre, Central China Special Theatre, Southwest Special Theatre, Northeast Special Theatre, Northwest Special Theatre, as well as Beijiang Special Theatre and Southeast Special Theatre, which are relatively independent and more elite.
The Special Theatre was also known as the Special Theatre of Operations, with the first-in-command serving as the director and first secretary.
Under normal circumstances, all the special service elites in theatre were responsible for completing the work of guarding theatre area and performing highly sensitive and dangerous confidential missions within theatre. If their strength was insufficient, they could seek help from the Divine Continent Guardian, or report to the Divine Continent Guardian. After receiving permission, they could draw elite personnel from other theatres to conduct joint operations.
If an overseas mission was involved, any war zone would need to report to the Divine Continent Guardian immediately. Moreover, the Divine Continent Guardian would be the one to designate the candidates for the mission.
The number one commander of each war zone had to be at least at the peak of SSS + strength. In other words, there were two indicators that had to be at least X-level.
Of the ten war zones, the requirements for the southeastern and northern war zones were even more stringent.
Although these two war zones only covered one province, and they did not cover three or five provinces as easily as other war zones, they were definitely extremely sensitive.
Beijiang was situated on the border of the empire, Civil unrest, terrorists, Ethnic conflicts, Criminals were exceptionally rampant. The leaders of the political circles in Northern Xinjiang had always been high-ranking policy-making bureau members. The military region commanders also held more autonomous powers than the leaders of other military regions. The special service personnel of the Northern Xinjiang Special Operations Theatre were even more elite. Although there were no written rules for the leaders to reach X-rank in three or more items, this was still the case.
In terms of status, Jiang Haisheng was indeed half a notch above the top commanders of an ordinary war zone. As for arguing with Yang Wuwei and the two Nine Continents City lieutenants, he was even more confident.
"Zhao Yunjie vice captain no matter how to say is also a colonel, in rank is higher than Lin Xiaocao? Even if he was cooperating with Lin Xiaocao on this mission, could it be that he didn't have any autonomy? He, Lin Xiaocao, was so arrogant that he couldn't listen to anyone else's opinions? What kind of secret service system was this kind of person who would fight and even cripple people if he didn't agree with a single word? Go and be an assassin! "
Jiang Haisheng said coldly. The corner of his eyes continued to glance at Wang Tianxiong's reaction. President Wang remained unmoved. This unfathomable expression made Jiang Haisheng feel even more uncertain. However, the more he spoke, the louder his voice became, in an attempt to exert more pressure on Wang Tianxiong.
He was too clear about the rules of the secret service system. If Wang Tianxiong couldn't compromise, as long as Wang Tianxiong wanted to stop him, they wouldn't be able to touch Lin Xiaocao.
Moreover, the southwest faction and his brother Jiang Mingshi did not plan to touch Lin Xiaocao. At the very least, they did not plan to execute him, demote Lin Xiaocao or expel him from the secret service, and then give them some compensation. This was their initial plan.
"Killer? Everyone here, whose hands are cleaner than the killers? We are an organized battle. The assassin is a lone ranger. General Hai Sheng, I want to ask you if you understand the meaning of the word organization. Instructor Lin is the commander of this operation. Who is Zhao Yunjie? It was just a person who cooperated with the operation, why didn't he listen to the commands? If you feel that Instructor Lin's command is questionable, why don't you report it to the Divine Continent Guardian? What right does he have to provoke the commander of the operation? He had gone abroad and was going to the battlefield immediately. He was fighting amongst himself, what was going on?! If such a person were me, the shooting on the spot would be light! His rank was higher than Lin Xiaocao's, so he thought that he could order Lin Xiaocao? Did he turn a deaf ear to the Divine Continent Guardian's orders? In my opinion, it would be good to cripple him directly. Not to mention that he is a colonel, even if he is a superior general, he will not be wrongly crippled even if he disregards the orders of the Divine Continent's Guardian and provokes the commander of the operation in a state of imminent war! "
A voice that sounded very elegant rang out in the meeting room. It interrupted Jiang Haisheng without any politeness. It was a very pleasant voice, but its tone was extremely sharp. The last sentence had already been pointed out.
"You?!"
Jiang Haisheng suddenly turned around and stared at a middle-aged man sitting opposite him, his eyes cold and filled with fear.
"Does General Ming Xuan think that Lin Xiaocao, as a lieutenant colonel, is the correct method to cripple a colonel?"
Jiang Haisheng said gloomily.
"I only know that those who disobey the orders of their commanders and still want to stir up civil strife in the face of war deserve to die. The charges are tantamount to treason."
The middle-aged man opposite Jiang Haisheng casually lit a cigarette and said calmly.
Qi Mingxuan.
One of Wang Tianxiong's top secret service generals was Qi Mingxuan, who had followed Wang Tianxiong when the Divine Continent was still called the Hidden Dragon Sea Secret Service Brigade Brigade. At that time, his code name was 306, and he was now the number one commander of the Southeast Special Warzone.
Strength X, Speed X, Spiritual Will X, Firearm Control X, Mechanical Control X, Attack Resistance X, Combat Technique X, Stamina SSS +.
This was Qi Mingxuan's level of strength.
In other words, when he was full of stamina, he was completely at the other X-class.
This was the highest level of all SSS + masters, none of them!
The Southeast Theater of Operations refers to Wu Yue. In recent years, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has been subtle and tense. The Wu Yue Military Region has undoubtedly become a top priority. Regardless of whether it is the army or the secret service system, the empire has suppressed heavy troops there. The most advanced equipment and weapons, the most elite combat members, and Qi Mingxuan, an infinitely close X-class figure.
More importantly, who didn't know that Wu Yue was the root of the royal family?
That place was completely monolithic. The head of Wu Yue's military, government, and secret service system was enraging any one of them, which was equivalent to enraging the current number one province of the empire.
Therefore, Qi Mingxuan's words were even more powerful than Jiang Haisheng's. The empire did not dare to provoke such a person.
"Cough cough …"
An old cough sounded.
The old man closest to Wang Tianxiong raised his head, revealing a ferocious scar on his face.
His movements instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Even Wang Tianxiong narrowed his eyes.
"Helian girl, what do you think?"
The old monster-like old man asked slowly. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant to hear, but no one dared to underestimate him as he sat here.
Imperial X class.
The guardian of the Nine Continents Prison, Yun Shanluan.
As an old immortal of the southwest faction, there was no need to doubt his position.
"I, I have reservations."
In the corner of the meeting room, Butterfly Captain Helian Chenxi gulped down his saliva and said slowly.
She wasn't qualified to sit here, but Zhao Yunjie, one of the people involved in this incident, was her subordinate, so she was invited here on an exceptional basis.
Hence, Helian Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she sat here facing a group of important people with the lowest military ranks. She looked like a little girl, nervous.
The coldness in Yun Shanluan's eyes flashed and he nodded.
Reservations.
Standing on Helian Chenxi's side, not punishing Lin Xiaocao severely was equivalent to standing on the side of the Guott Squadron.
Countless meaningful gazes swept across Helian Chenxi's body before retracting them.
In the past, no matter if it was Yun Shanluan or Jiang Haisheng, they wouldn't mind warning Helian Chenxi in advance, but now, no one dared to do so.
It wasn't just Captain Butterfly who was sitting here. She was also the War God King's woman.
If she were to be wronged and provoke the young prince of the War God Palace, he would probably be able to defeat everyone here except the royal family with a single shot in his anger.
"Mm …"
Yun Shanluan pondered for a moment and was just about to speak.
The huge screen opposite Wang Tianxiong suddenly lit up.
A delicate woman appeared on the screen. When she saw the situation in the meeting room, she seemed to be shocked. Her face was pale. She subconsciously raised her hand and saluted, "Hello, Commanders! This is Li Si from the Overseas Intelligence Agency of the Empire."
The smile on Wang Tianxiong's face flashed and he said indifferently, "Is something the matter?"
"It's like this."
Li Si took a deep breath and forcefully said calmly, "It has been five hours now. Five hours ago, Instructor Lin Xiaocao, the Imperial Gale Instructor, lost contact with him."
"Look! Look, everyone! This is a flight from crime!"
Jiang Haisheng immediately jumped up and shouted loudly, his tone so high that even Li Si was shocked.
"I understand. Instructor Lin Xiaocao has already completed the mission assigned by the empire. In addition, there are other confidential missions that the empire needs him to carry out. He has already left, so it is not convenient for him to keep in touch with you."
Wang Tianxiong's unhurried voice sounded after Jiang Haisheng, causing him to lose his temper in an instant.
"Bang!"
On the other side of the screen, a young man rushed over and stood beside Li Si.
"First, first, first..."
His tone was so excited that his face flushed red that he could not even utter a single complete sentence.
"Don't worry, speak slowly."
Wang Tianxiong looked at the screen and chuckled softly.
"Report to the commander!"
The young man saluted, "We have received news that Instructor Lin has completed his mission perfectly. Dawn, dawn, hundreds of members of the U.S. Dawn Secret Service Brigade died in battle. The U.S. X-class destroyer Rodriguez, who disappeared three years ago, died in battle. The leader of the U.S. X-class Secret Service Brigade, Judge Lee Hughes Alpha, the bloody werewolf, died in battle. Instructor Lin, Instructor Lin, is missing!"
"Pu!"
Jiang Haisheng had just drank a mouthful of water when he spat it out and spat out Qi Mingxuan's face.
The entire meeting room was completely quiet.
The corner of Wang Tianxiong's mouth twitched. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand to turn off the screen in front of him.
He looked at the silent crowd and chuckled, "Alright, everyone, let me officially inform you. Instructor Lin Xiaocao, my junior apprentice-brother, is also the youngest X in the empire." After he returns, I will hold a welcoming ceremony for him to officially join the empire's secret service. Of course, if Elder Yun and Haisheng want to talk to him, I won't stop them. I will bear the consequences. "
Jiang Haisheng: "..."
Yun Shanluan:
Everyone was stunned.
This is amazing.
If the news was true, then it was no longer a question of how to deal with Lin Xiaocao.
Such an X joining the empire's secret service system was a major event that could even affect the empire's future for decades!
Wang Tianxiong chuckled. He picked up his teacup and drank a mouthful of water. He looked at everyone who had their own thoughts and said indifferently, "Alright, let's adjourn the meeting."
