Lin Xiaocao knew very well that when Kong Lin said this news, he was unlikely to continue to stay in Japan.

Winkley.

The first-in-command of the empire's Dongshan Provincial Party Committee, Lian Fuli, was in his fifties. He was a powerful figure who would be pushed into the decision-making bureau by the southwest faction in the next election.

Regardless of whether it was this person or Dongshan Province, they were all extremely special to the southwest faction.

Moving Wen Keliang at this moment was equivalent to moving Dongshan Province. This almost touched the bottom line of the southwest faction.

Any major faction had a base camp, and this was the foundation of a faction.

Right now, there were only three major factions in the empire, and with the three factions standing on equal footing, it was destined that each faction would not have only one base camp.

Of the three major factions' base camps, In the eyes of the leaders of the various factions, the provinces with the most developed economies were definitely more important than the other provinces. They had always been a place where warriors had to contend. The economically developed areas had good foundations and were easy to produce results. It was easier to train and promote outstanding cadres. Some of the officials at the Governor level were even more likely to take off in these economically powerful provinces and take a step forward.

Once a province like this became the headquarters of the factions, it would be a place that all the major factions would defend.

Almost all the municipalities, special economic zones, and the top ten provinces in the empire were occupied by the major factions. The battlefield that had never been unified was also the battlefield where the major factions competed, and its form was incomparably complicated.

At present, Wu Yue Province, the most economically developed province in the empire, needless to say, was the fundamental land of the royal family. All of them were royal cadres. More than ten years ago, Wu Yue had always maintained his position as the second largest economy in ten thousand years. Now that he was firmly ranked first, the royal family valued Wu Yue more and more, and no one was allowed to interfere with him at all.

Apart from Wu Yue, who was the number one economist in terms of economic aggregates, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Fengtian Province in the north, and Huating, a municipality directly under the Central Government near Wu Yue, all belonged to the traditional sphere of influence controlled by the royal family.

As the bridgehead of the empire's reform and opening up, Nanyue, ranked second in terms of economic aggregates, had been in an extremely complicated situation since the founding of the People's Republic. It belonged to the various factions that took turns to take over the manor, and no one or faction had unified Nanyue Province.

The supreme leader, Lin Qingtian, and the deputy prime minister, Chen Hualou, were all representatives of the empire who jumped directly into the heart of the empire in South Guangdong.

And the third largest economy was Dongshan Province.

It was the most economically developed province in the hands of the southwest faction. Although the party committee secretary of Dongshan Province had not entered the Decision-making Bureau in recent years, he had served a full term in this position. As long as there was no problem with himself or if he was old enough to stand, he would be elected a member of the Decision-making Bureau after a term.

Among the top ten provinces in terms of economic aggregates, Dongshan Province, Southwest Province, Yanzhao Province, and Nanhe Province were all areas of influence of the southwest faction, adding a municipality directly under the Central Government-Southwest City.

Of all the territories controlled by the southwest faction, these provinces and one municipality were the most economically developed, and among these developed provinces, Dongshan Province was undoubtedly the most dazzling star.

The southwestern faction placed Wen Keliang in the position of secretary of the Dongshan provincial party committee in order for him to charge into the policy bureau two years later.

However, at this moment, Imperial Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan, who had been keeping a low profile for seven to eight years, suddenly wanted to transfer Wen Keliang, who was highly valued by the southwest faction. In eight years, Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan rarely expressed any opinions on personnel matters. If he spoke once, he would naturally receive the full attention of the Supreme Head of State.

What was even better was that Yang Xiuyuan had suggested that the Wang family should support him in adjusting Wen Keliang's position!

The reason for that was because the document Chen Hualou had drafted was that Yang Xiuyuan had to propose a cabinet renaming document. This was a crucial part of the game. After the incident with the Ministry of Security ended, this would be the back of the royal family. Once the cabinet renaming started, it would also mean that the royal family had begun to officially lay out their plans in the political arena. At that time, the real overall situation had been decided.

Therefore, the southern faction represented by Cabinet Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan could be said to be in a period of cooperation with the royal faction.

Yang Xiuyuan planned to change the position of Wen Keliang, secretary of the Dongshan Provincial Party Committee.

However, Wen Keliang was a person that could not be moved in the hearts of the king elders.

Lin Xiaocao had an impression of the name Wen Keliang. Before he left the country, he had a conversation with Chen Hualou. Both he and Chen Hualou agreed that Dongshan Province was the bottom line of the southwest faction.

The Ministry of National Security incident, The south-west faction seeks to cooperate with the south faction, In good faith, The positions of two members of the Standing Committee of the Dongshan Provincial CPC Committee have been given, It immediately attracted the attention of many people. Although the positions of the two Standing Committee members weren't very important, they still gave people hope to pry open the iron plate in Dongshan Province. After all, if it was in normal times, not to mention two, even if it was one, the southwest faction wouldn't be willing to take it out.

Of course, the wang faction also wanted to interfere, but this was not the best time. The wang faction leaders agreed that the quota for the two standing committee members was already the limit that the southwest faction could afford. At this time, it was not impossible to transfer Wen Keliang, but if they really did so, the southwest faction that could not endure it would definitely retaliate directly!

Winkley could not move.

Even if he wanted to lay out the plan, he shouldn't be in a hurry at this moment. He should first take out a few provinces of the southwest faction that weren't that important and test them out.

But now, Wen Keliang moved, which also meant that the counterattack of the southwest faction seemed to be about to begin.

Lin Xiaocao stood up and took two steps inside the suite. Suddenly, he stopped and asked, "What did Wen Keliang do?"

"Ministry of Industry, Vice Minister, and Minister of Construction."

Kong Lin shook his head and sighed.

"Who's going to Dongshan Province?"

Lin Xiaocao asked. Among the six ministries of the empire, the Ministry of Industry was in charge of construction, water conservancy, agriculture and other departments. It was a pure cabinet department, and the Minister of Construction had some hidden power. From Dongshan, the third largest economic province in the empire, to the Ministry of Construction, Wen Keliang and the southwest faction could imagine the grievances in their hearts.

"Yes …"

Kong Lin hesitated for a moment before smiling bitterly, "It's Governor Huangfu Jun who took over as the secretary of the Dongshan Provincial Party Committee. This is also what Yang Xiuyuan meant."

Lin Xiaocao's body suddenly stopped. His eyes were deep and he didn't say a word.

"Good method."

Lin Xiaocao was silent for a long time before he said indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who took Huangfu Jun's seat to Jiangnan Province should be someone from the southern faction, right?"

"Yes, the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of South Lake Province, Yang Licheng, went to Jiangnan to serve as the governor."

Kong Lin nodded and said indifferently.

The two provinces of South Hubei Lake were also ranked in the top ten of the empire's major economic provinces. Although they were ranked at the bottom, they were still the headquarters of the southern factions.

Lin Xiaocao sneered and didn't say anything.

With Yang Xiuyuan's move, That's a good idea, Huangfu Jun was Wang Ximing's successor, The position Wang Xie gave him could be said to be very arrogant, It was heading straight for seat number one, Ten years later, Ye Nianlun was the successor of the King's Clan Leader, Huangfu Jun was the Governor of Jiangnan Province, We will vigorously promote agricultural reform, expand industrial influence, The results were remarkable, Jiangnan Province also had a vague intention of becoming a royal base camp. Currently, the Cabinet was building up momentum for Huangfu Jun. Several provinces were already learning from Huangfu Jun's achievements in agricultural reform. Therefore, his next step had been decided. In two years' time, he would definitely be elected a member of the Policy Bureau and serve as the secretary of the party committee in Wuyue.

No one could say anything about the hard state's achievements.

As soon as Yang Xiuyuan opened his mouth, he transferred Wen Keliang and Huangfu Jun to the East Mountain.

It seemed that the Governor had taken a step forward to become the secretary of the Party Committee, but in reality, he was still at the level of a Governor-General.

If this transfer was placed on someone else, they might be overjoyed, but in Huangfu Jun's case, it was basically useless.

Although Dongshan Province is a big economic province, it is different from Wu Yue and Nanyue. The top party committee secretary is only at the Governor level, while Wu Yue and Nanyue are both members of the Policy Bureaux.

Huangfu Jun was transferred from Jiangnan to Dongshan, and only moved to Wu Yue two years later. To the royal family, this was simply an extremely stupid and superfluous move.

The Wang family was originally on the opposite side of the southwest faction, but now that Huangfu Jun had gone over, twelve of the thirteen members of the provincial party committee were not on the same side as him. This was completely exposing Ye Nianlun 's successor to the enemy's artillery fire.

If Huangfu Jun could stand firm, there was naturally nothing to say, but if he could not stand firm, then if something happened, then the political layout of the royal family in ten years' time would be aborted.

This was probably a situation that Yang Xiuyuan was happy to see.

After all, the royal lineage was already so terrifying. Ye Nianlun and Chen Hua had been in power for ten years. If Huang Fu Jun succeeded them, then the entire Divine Boat Empire wouldn't be able to accommodate any other factions.

What was even better was that Yang Xiuyuan had directly transferred Huangfu Jun out of Jiangnan, allowing him to nominally take a step further, but at the same time, he had actually sent his own people to Jiangnan.

Jiang Nan's party secretary is about to reach the age limit.

At that time, as long as the new Governor obediently paid attention to Huangfu Jun's agricultural reform results, once the final results were obtained, although the agricultural reform of other provinces would be recorded in Huangfu Jun's head, the Jiangnan Province would fall on the new Governor's head.

After the Jiangnan Governor arrived at the station, the new Governor took over and picked Huangfu Jun's peach. If the operation was good, perhaps the southern faction would have another member of the Policy Bureau.

Even if it did not work properly, it would not be difficult for the new Governor to turn Jiangnan Province into the backyard of the southern faction as the head of the party committee.

Yang Xiuyuan's simple suggestion was equivalent to causing Huangfu Jun countless troubles, but at the same time, he directly snatched a provincial territory from the Wang family.

Is this the reward for cooperation?

Cooperation?

A thought flashed through Lin Xiaocao's mind as he suddenly remembered another meaning behind Yang Xiuyuan's words.

This suggestion of his was equivalent to explicitly telling the outside world that the southern faction had already begun to join forces with the royal faction.

This was equivalent to laying the groundwork for the Cabinet to be renamed in advance. After the Cabinet was renamed successfully, the royal family had to give sufficient benefits to the southern faction. After all, this was something created by the two sides. If the royal family ate alone, it would be too chilling.

"Old fox!"

Lin Xiaocao narrowed his eyes and said coldly. He really didn't expect that in less than a month's time, so many things had happened in the empire's political circles. Such a changeable political climate was enough to show that the current game had reached a climax. Everyone had to pay close attention to it.

He took a deep breath and was just about to speak when the phone rang.

Lin Xiaocao and Kong Lin's bodies tightened at the same time.

It's Kong Lin's phone.

Kong Lin extinguished the cigarette butt and took out his phone. Seeing the caller ID on it, he suddenly stood up and quickly pressed the answer button. "Your Majesty," he whispered.

"Yes, I'm with His Highness. Mm, alright."

Kong Lin nodded and handed the phone to Lin Xiaocao. "Your Majesty's number," he whispered.

Lin Xiaocao picked up the phone and said.

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

Lin Xiaocao waited patiently for about two minutes, but she finally couldn't hold on any longer and called him uncle.

The corner of Kong Lin's mouth twitched as if he wanted to laugh, but he forcefully suppressed it.

The Emperor said calmly, "Little Cao, have you called your Senior Brother?"

"No."

Lin Xiaocao frowned and said calmly, "I'm going to return home immediately."

"Return? Kungun is dead?"

The Emperor's voice was a little cold.

"No, but I've already alerted the Japanese secret service system in Tokyo. We don't have enough manpower. We won't be able to find it for a while. The empire..."

"We don't have enough manpower, so we should increase our manpower."

The Emperor interrupted Lin Xiaocao, "The empire can afford to wait for three to five days. Call your senior brother and ask him to ask the Moon Concealment Group and the Moon Setting Group of Japan to help track down Kungunir in the name of the Divine Continent Guardian. The Japanese Secret Service will agree."

Of course the Japanese Secret Service would agree.

What they needed most now was the official attitude of the Divine Continent Guardian. Otherwise, they were really worried that Lin Xiaocao would make a fuss over Tokyo in anger. If the plot of Washionton Tun in the United States were to be played again, then the Japanese government would really not be able to cry.

Lin Xiaocao thought for a moment and nodded.

"All the intelligence networks of the Imperial Family are now completely at your command. You can also contact some of our friends in Asia. In addition to the Japanese government, if we can't find Kungunir, that would be a joke."

The Emperor said indifferently, but Lin Xiaocao could still hear a trace of coldness and gloom in his calm tone.

If he hadn't come to Japan himself, the invincible man on the other end of the phone would have already arrived, right?

A thought flashed through Lin Xiaocao's mind. Then, he frowned and said, "What if it was exposed?"

"Don't worry."

The Emperor said indifferently, his tone indifferent.

When Lin Xiaocao heard these three words, he was really relieved.

Until now, Lin Xiaocao still didn't like the Emperor and this uncle, but now that he was in the royal family, Lin Xiaocao had a subconscious trust in him.

When he said that he could be at ease, he would most likely be at ease.

"How is she?"

Lin Xiaocao hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"I'm not awake yet."

The Emperor was silent for a moment and whispered, "It's not a big problem, but she definitely needs to cultivate. She won't stay in the United States for long. Kill Quincunior, and you should return to Nine Continents City immediately. It's also very important there now."

"Understood."

Lin Xiaocao nodded and hung up.

"Your Highness?"

Kong Lin stretched out his hand and took the phone from Lin Xiaocao's hand. He shouted tentatively. He didn't know if the Emperor was going to let Lin Xiaocao stay or hurry back home if he called at this time.

Lin Xiaocao took a deep breath and said coldly, "Bring out all of our men. Also, inform some of the royal family's friends to search for Kungunir with all their might. Time is of the essence and we need to move quickly!"

"Full power?!"

Kong Lin's expression instantly became unsightly, "What should we do after we are exposed?"

Lin Xiaocao looked at him and didn't say anything.

Because he didn't know what to do.

But very quickly, they understood.

On this day, the Divine Continent Guardian formally requested assistance from the Japanese Secret Service, hoping that the Japanese Secret Service could provide help in locating Quincunior.

At the same time, the imperial family provided intelligence assistance to the Divine Boat Empire's super agent, Lin Xiaocao, free of charge.

Several of the royal family's heavyweight allies in Asia, especially in Japan, immediately responded.

Then...

Skull and Bones.

The American Skull and Bones Society, led by the Morgan and Rockefeller Families, announced at the same time.

To provide intelligence assistance to the Divine Boat Empire's super agent, Lin Xiaocao.

Everyone moved.

In an instant, it was as if the entire Dark World was searching for Quincunior's whereabouts.
