Let’s talk about the present.
There was a strange old man walking forward quickly while rubbing his hands.
The girl in front of the building was ravaged by him without any resistance.
The old hands rubbed randomly on the white hair, making it messy.
This situation, this scene, this place, this night, really makes people feel murderous.
Of course, these are all rumors.
"Grandpa Xue, why are you here?"
Elsa replied crisply, feeling the old man's unpretentious care, she smiled slightly.
Xue Xie replied with a smile:
"Aren't you just passing by on business? I want to see how you two are doing. Don't you welcome me, old man?"
As he spoke, he motioned for Elsa to stand up, straighten her body, and after a while of gestures, he said with certainty:
"According to my God-given words, you have grown taller!"
Elsa's smile remained unchanged, and she looked at the woman beside her who was not familiar but barely recognized.
"Good evening, Team Leader Zangting."
Her memory of Zang Tiao was so called when she stayed in Huacheng.
Zang Tiao waved her hands, her voice a little hoarse:
"He is no longer a member of the General Affairs Bureau, and his identity has not yet been confirmed."
The identity she was talking about was naturally not citizen information, but her current specific position.
Now, strictly speaking, Zang Ti doesn't have a position.
Naturally, the position in the General Affairs Bureau is gone. As far as she knows, the files in the internal system have been deleted, and all relevant resumes have been consolidated into confidential files. At most, one copy is kept in the file bureau, and the others are unknown. Where is it?
Of course, it doesn't mean that she is going to do some undercover work, or that she is being hidden. As a person who has been following Bai Xiuyuan all year round, she naturally knows the ropes.
Within Huayu, especially those who are not members of the Six Imperial Palace Headquarters, there is only one normal way to get promoted, which is to get promoted through actual performance and then be transferred to the headquarters. For example, Tong Yan and Quan Hu are like this.
At the same time, there are also some who stayed through secondments, but they are very few.
And among this, there is an extremely special situation——
All traces of them will be eliminated. Some months, maybe years, or even decades, they will be doing some highly confidential things. When they are successful, they will be promoted to the headquarters of Liuyufu in an unexpected way and serve as For important positions, this kind of situation can be said to be too much or too little.
Zang Ti clearly knows that he belongs to the latter group. This kind of situation has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the risk factor is extremely high. Many people who participate in these tasks will find it difficult to achieve success in the end. As for the advantages, It's not impossible. Although they don't have specific positions, from the moment they accept it, they already enjoy the relevant treatment of the core members of Liuyufu, as well as the authority beyond the conventional.
And when she saw Elsa and the little paper man with slumped shoulders, she knew that this boy Zuo Dao was probably similar to her, but he didn't know what he was doing. Zang Ti also knew the rules and didn't ask any more questions.
Just when Xue Xie was plucking Elsa's hair like a weird old man, she also grabbed the little paper man and shook it around. However, the little paper man still didn't react at all, as if he was just an ordinary childlike child. An ordinary paper figurine made from scratch.
This scene naturally fell into Xue Xie's eyes.
He looked at the closed door behind Elsa, his eyes constantly switching between children's eyes like in a horror movie. At this time, Xue Xie actually showed a strange smile:
"It's really interesting."
His words made Elsa look up and stare, Zang Tiao had no reaction, and Xue Xie had no idea of explaining.
No one knows what kind of content Xue Xie sees through a certain ability.
"Elsa, is that boy from Zuo Dao doing anything today?"
Elsa shook her head. She glanced at Zang Tiao who was throwing the paper man wildly and said:
"Mr. Zuo Dao has been like this since this morning. He usually chats with me through paper figures, and also asks me to get some supplies or some special things and deliver them through the passage."
Xue Xie nodded and said nothing.
Just when he was about to hug Elsa a few more times and leave first, there was a light chirp from Zang Tiao's side, and he and Elsa turned their eyes.
I saw that the paper man who was being tossed suddenly stood up and Zang Tiao let go. The little paper man floated in the air and looked around, and finally spoke in a left-handed voice:
"Master Nan is here?
"Sorry, something interesting happened over there. I couldn't concentrate for a while. I was just about to reply to your message."
Zuo Dao said that the little paper figures interacted with their paper hands in a formal way to hold fists. "
Seeing this, Zang Tiao took out a cigarette and said, "I'll go out and smoke a cigarette."
Xue Xie greeted the paper man on the left with a smile, and then looked at Zang Ti:
"Then you wait for me, then we will rest and continue tomorrow."
The corners of Zang Tiao's mouth moved, and he waved his hands and left without any need for words.
When the team leader walked away, the three people who were also codenamed Wilderness Action began to communicate.
However, they did not communicate verbally, but in the space of consciousness.
A huge stream of consciousness and meticulous details flowed towards the two of them like a flood.
"That's it, that's it. 』
"In short, I have made some insignificant additions based on your needs."
Master Nan Ming made a gesture with a smile on his face.
The demands Xue Xie mentioned were naturally the demands of the heretic.
And all of this has to start with Wilderness Action, or even earlier, when Xue Xie and Elsa visited Southern University in the Chinese Territory.
As we all know, Xue Xie and the lineage of southern Chinese states he represents.
They always have one main demand or constant strategy——
Not only will Bahamut, the strategic seaport of the southern state, be included in the Chinese territory.
Not the control of a chaotic place.
Nor is it a request from a border land.
But it is a territorial place that is commanded by arms.
First, the importance of Bahamut, from an ordinary and ordinary level, is that it is a potentially important economic blue ocean for the southern states and even the Chinese region.
If successful, it will bring a lot of help to the economy of the southern states, which can then bring social stability to a new level. The quality of life of ordinary people will be improved, and all kinds of nonsense social problems can be effectively solved. At the same time, a stable society will be achieved. The environment can also effectively reduce the occurrence of various mysterious incidents.
This point is very urgent and urgent for both the local system of the Southern State and the Six Imperial Palaces, the six cornerstones of the Chinese domain. But the most urgent one is the Southern State system.
What's the reason?
It's about the Huacheng incident.
The Huacheng incident was caused by the Star Observation Deck in Liuyu Mansion.
Although many things come and go, with traces and shadows, no one can make a specific judgment on their fundamental purpose and severity until it breaks out, and because they belong to the same domain, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is difficult to define. , giving the observatory a lot of operating space and time.
The result was that the outer gods broke through the barrier of the spiritual world and got involved in reality, coupled with an old star master who was about to lose control, and various interests hidden behind the scenes. The final result was that several secret rituals of the Silu Palace were used in the south. The state's 'luck' and other intangible consumption are taken as a price to start.
Although the time is short, the 'resources' have been spent, and the cost will also fall on all aspects of the southern state.
From top to bottom, whether they are mysterious personnel, ordinary citizens or even the southern land, they will all be potential victims of the secret ritual in the future.
In this regard, for local systems, they are between mystery and daily life. The organizational structure and interest demands are complex collections. They are not as simple in structure as Liuyufu. Therefore, the compensation that Liuyufu can offer , which is not acceptable enough for southern governors and others.
No matter it is the Southern Mingshi, the Southern Governor, various levels of departments in the South, or even the people sent here by the Six Imperial Palaces, they do not want to get just water and water. All parties want more specific and explicit 'things'.
Therefore, the southern group had a clear demand.
It is to obtain new external profit resources to increase the value of the secret instrument activation.
For this goal, the Southern Department set their sights on Bahamut.
Therefore, the appointment between Elsa and Zuo Dao was not a pie in the sky or a coincidence.
On the contrary, it is the most superficial economic and political issues.
At that time, Zuo Dao naturally knew it well when he discovered this sign.
But this kind of thing cannot be discussed on the table.
At least his current status is not enough to go to the chess player's seat to discuss the gains and losses.
Therefore, after the leftist saw this point, he put it into action.
Just like from the beginning, he has been fighting here to fight for his and Elsa's interests and right to speak, even if their resumes are meager, their combat power is meager, and they have no right to speak. , but can go smoothly all the way, talking and laughing.
To put it simply, he is also a professional!
Back to the topic, after finishing the first point, it is natural to analyze the second point.
Second, Huayu.
After talking about the slightly ordinary level, we have to mention this damn world.
This is a world where mystery is the main system. Although there are slight differences in different local customs, it is undeniable that——
If human beings do not have mysteries, then the current environment is probably that this group of people worship evil gods, that group of people want to destroy the world, and the other group of people are like madmen, pursuing mysterious power and exploring the so-called truth.
There will always be lunatics like this, and people who think differently will become worse than pigs and dogs, becoming lunatics and living consumables in their eyes.
Although from a leftist point of view...
The current internal environment of the mysterious circle is actually quite extreme, but the solution is also very clever.
People create domains for themselves, and then gain a sense of belonging and protection. These two give human mystics a modest sense of responsibility. They are able to stick to their original intentions, clear away the fog, move forward, and protect the lives of ordinary people in their own ways. daily.
Speaking of which, for the highest level of Huayu, the six core departments dominated by mysterious abilities, the importance of Bahamut has gained another layer of strategic significance——
It should be noted that this world has geopolitics similar to the world of Zuodao. For example, coastal areas and offshore islands and reefs have sovereignty over a certain range.
Within this scope, each domain has absolute autonomy. Who is allowed to pass and who is not allowed to pass is theoretically at their discretion. If someone rashly infringes upon it, they will suffer an absolute and irresponsible counterattack, even if it involves No matter how inhumane the process is, no one will say anything about it. This is for this world.
What’s interesting is that Bahamut’s sovereign waters include an important shipping route. Not only are there few mysterious creatures on this route, but the risk of mysterious disasters is also minimal. It is an absolute treasure route for all continents.
Therefore, if any party can bring Bahamut into the territorial scope, then by virtue of this, it will increase its political voice. If someone has a bad relationship with it, it only needs to prohibit the hostile party from entering, and the other party can only choose to take less risks. Another big route: Rhode Island Shipping Route.
What's more, they can only take the extremely risky wild sea route, which is absolutely a nightmare for those who go to sea. No matter how well prepared they are, there is a chance that the entire fleet will be wiped out due to various mysterious events.
Back to topic.
It is not easy to include this place into the territory. After all, the territory needs to be spread out bit by bit like a game. Therefore, there are only two regions that can hope to include Bahamut. Then It’s the Huayu and Alaiman regions.
In terms of Huayu, they are actually extremely close to success. After all, after leaving Xishan City, they are only one Hecarim away from Bahamut. They have a natural influence and radiation range. If no one does anything, it will be very difficult for Huayu. It's just a matter of time.
The Alaiman Territory is not weak either. At that time, they included the overseas island Rhodes Island near Bahamut as a border area, so they also had the conditions and strength to try their plan to regain Bahamut.
Therefore, serious conflicts arose between the two parties here, and a series of subsequent events occurred.
The final result was that Bahamut and Hecarim were transformed into a land of chaos by the Alaiman Realm. Many years later, the Chinese Realm turned Hecarim into a border land again, and Bahamut's work became a land of chaos. During preparations, Huayu will never give up on this place.
As for the Alaiman Territory, they also suffered retaliation. Rhodes Island, which was a springboard to the outer sea, was turned into a place of chaos by the Chinese Territory, which fundamentally cut off the qualifications to directly intervene in Bahamut; however, although they lost their tickets But they have not completely lost it. If Hecarim becomes a border land one day, they can still compete for it, and this fact is enough for them to continue to hinder it and keep coveting it.
This hatred is getting deeper and deeper, and there is a vague feeling between the two parties...
The attitudes of the two parties gradually no longer treat it from the perspective of interests and stability.
The fights were more or less angry, trying to kill some people.
Talking about other domains, they lacked relevant key springboards from the very beginning, so they could only resort to causing trouble in the hope that Bahamut would remain the same.
For them, chaos or borderlands are all acceptable, because they don't have to pay extra benefits and compromises for navigation routes. They only need to invest a little effort or human life to get long-term benefits. Why not Why?
This kind of issue has nothing to do with good and evil morality, publicity and humility. People in all fields know that these things can only be said and done by people with enough strength. On the contrary, it will only turn oneself into a docile lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and those, It is the root poison of raising lambs.
To sum up, at the level of Huayu, not to mention the old accounts of the past, in terms of the current internal situation, the senior leaders of Huayu need more external influence, and they have to show their influence no matter how weak they are. Use your fangs to show your strength.
Moreover, the current Huayu is not considered weak, it is just in a hell that is weak and considered to be on the decline by most people. Therefore, the existence of the Alaiman Realm and its contradictions are the main objects within the Huayu Unity. Therefore, It also takes the importance of wilderness action to a higher level.
The thoughts are far away. This can only be attributed to the fact that people in the consciousness space always have active thoughts.
Zuo Dao’s brain is no exception.
Back to the topic.
After learning about this through various materials, Zuo Dao discovered a problem.
The water in Bahamut is so damn deep!
It was so deep that for a while, he didn't know where to start.
Why is this so?
The reason is that all parties have invested a lot of attention and manpower in this place.
It can be likened to this: you bought a piece of bread in Bahamut today with the identity of Huayu, and tomorrow it will be presented to the table of the intelligence agencies in each domain, and the details will be down to the millisecond.
Therefore, anything done in Bahamut will be investigated by someone with a magnifying glass, and all abnormalities will be blocked by people outside the Chinese domain. Once you enter this ghost place, being surrounded and ambushed on all sides are not enough to support this. The background music of the play.
On the left side, there are reasons why it is absolutely impossible to take advantage of the opportunity and is eager to achieve results.
So much so that in order to solve these problems, he crumpled countless paper figures.
Why can't Zuo Dao choose to fish and wait?
The reasons for this are also clear.
He is not only a second-generation human being, but also deeply understands the essence of all kinds of bad human nature.
Not long after arriving here, he joined the General Affairs Bureau, a subordinate agency of Tianlang Pavilion.
There, he experienced the harshness of this world, or the harshness of the Chinese domain.
Where is the harshness?
For example, even though he is in the same general affairs bureau and follows Zang Ti, he will not be able to say that he will be successful, but his mysterious knowledge and related authority will be greatly satisfied. Among them, it is undeniable that Zuo Dao deliberately revealed Talent', but the support provided by the background from Zang Ti to Cheng Jiu to Bai Xiuyuan cannot be ignored.
Without them, like other ordinary members of the General Affairs Bureau, they would only be a mysterious and ordinary operator for many years. Although they cannot be said to be old at first sight, they are not much different in the eyes of the left. And this was something he couldn't accept.
He can endure the constraints brought by the aura of heaven and earth, even if he can see the height of the sky when he raises his head, but he cannot bear to be in a mysterious and active world. He can only be an ordinary person or a special operator who is neither good nor low. This is not only impossible. To satisfy his thirst for knowledge, he must also place his wealth and life on others.
Therefore, the left path will not give up any opportunity to go up.
but...
The problem with Bahamut is really difficult.
But it's just difficult to do, and there are still some thoughts on the left side.
First of all, Old Mrs. Wen Yue, who is now semi-retired in Xishan City and a veteran intelligence officer in the outer domain, has given enough hints that the current attitude of the Chinese domain towards Bahamut is that the medium-level requirements cannot be exceeded. Prefer other domains.
The last requirement is to maintain the current chaotic situation. It would be better if it can be a little more chaotic. The final and higher requirement is to allow Bahamut to finally be included in the Chinese domain, but both Xue Xie and Wen Yue also have enough Tip, there is no need to rush in this regard.
Having said that, Zuo Dao is anxious.
Furthermore, after leaving Xishan City and even coming to Hecarim, Zuo Dao and Elsa almost received unconditional resources and voice, which made him feel the direction of the internal wind.
It was a restless feeling.
After a lot of confusion, Zuo Dao finally came up with a plan, or an idea.
He classified this report into eight words: from face to point, full bloom, knocking from the side and prying carefully, accumulating fists and then unleashing.
Speaking in human language——
There is so much attention on this ghost place, and although the Alaiman Territory has temporarily lost its qualifications, it has not completely lost it. In this case, normally there are only two ways, either to use lightning speed to quickly defeat He. Karim and Bahamut are taken back, otherwise they can only deal with it slowly with a spirit of fighting for every dollar.
But for leftists, there is a third kind.
In this case, then we should not say anything to Bahamut first, but instead attack him frantically from the nearby areas and the forces related to the Alaiman domain, and involve the forces in this domain first, even if the other party knows about the Chinese domain. The purpose is Bahamut, and he will choose to focus his energy elsewhere because of the current problems.
After going back and forth like this, they will find that Huayu has never taken any substantive action against Bahamut. Furthermore, there will definitely be a considerable number of people among the senior officials of the Alaiman region who believe that this is the baby within the Huayu. In the end, the wolf did not come, and Huayu itself can continue to wait for the time to mature, and finally officially enter the market.
When the Alaiman Territory comes into play, and the time is not ripe for the Chinese Territory, as long as they want, this kind of matryoshka doll can theoretically be carried out indefinitely, and before that, the dolls at any level may become A substantial blow to the Aleman domain.
This is an idea that has been summarized and then summarized.
Not surprisingly, his submission was approved not long after it was submitted.
However, there is one thing that Zuo Dao, who is now accepting Xue Xie's message, did not expect...
"Mr. Xue, above..."
"Is it a little too much? 』
In the space of consciousness, Xue Xie laughed sinisterly.
