Chapter 261: Shock, Response
"——, all are dead, and you said that all the people sent are dead, and none of them survived?"
After receiving the secretary's affirmative reply, Cui Shupu's straight waist suddenly bent down a little, as if he had suddenly changed from a hard pine tree to a willow tree, and the whole person seemed to be twenty years old all of a sudden.
Although Cui Shupu is in his fifties and close to sixty years old this year, he has always looked energetic and red in front of everyone on weekdays.
It's not that he really has such a good body, it's just that as the patriarch of the Cui family, even if he puts on makeup, he has to make himself refreshed, and his image represents the entire Cui family.
Now, hearing that all the elites he sent to Japan were wiped out in one fell swoop, even he couldn't bear the blow, and suddenly showed fatigue.
The Cui family is indeed a big family, but there are many places to employ people for a big business.
At the very least, the 12 special operations teams sent to Japan are elite personnel of the third level or above, who have been eliminated at various levels and tempered in actual combat.
These people are hidden at different nodes of the Cui family's industry on weekdays, and they are the Cui family's trump card force to deal with various unexpected situations.
These twelve special operations teams are one-third of the Cui family's mobile force. In other words, the Cui family's armed protection of industries around the world is suddenly missing a third!
Don't underestimate this one-third, it's a one-third that can be flexibly mobilized at any time! And it's the most elite one-third.
This is like a company with a market value of 10 billion, the funds they can really mobilize freely will never be 10 billion, or even 1 billion in cash, which is already very abundant in capital flow.
Suddenly losing one-third, for the enterprise, it is a catastrophe of broken capital chains, and there may even be a tragedy of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it.
Cui Shupu sat silently on the rattan chair, his fingers unconsciously swiping back and forth on the table. Things have happened, and now is the time to think about countermeasures, not to grieve for these people.
After a while, he looked up at the secretary who reported the bad news - this secretary was also his third son Cui Zhenmo, this kind of information involving the Cui family's secrets has always been controlled by the Cui family's own core figures.
Now, his third son was looking at him without saying anything.
"Zhenmo, is there anything else? By the way, is there a report on how they died?"
Under normal circumstances, in the working state, Cui Shupu requires that even his own son should be called the patriarch, and he cannot directly call his father. However, now that he took the initiative to call his son by his name, it means that it is now a conversation between father and son, and everyone can speak freely.
"Father, the personnel in charge of the logistics of this awakening operation in Japan have made some discoveries, but they dare not jump to conclusions and only report these findings. ”
Cui Zhenmo said cautiously.
"So they still have some guesses?"
Cui Shupu's face became even more gloomy. Looking at his son's expression, this is probably worse news than the annihilation of the Cui family's elite.
"Yes, the murderer didn't clean up the scene after killing all of our people. Judging by the traces and weapons left at the scene, the intelligence officers who arrived at the scene could be—"
Cui Zhenmo didn't dare to continue, but cautiously stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where the red flag was.
"You mean ——?"
"We sent a total of twelve squads, each with as few as ten and as many as twenty, for a total of 174 people. It took no more than fifteen minutes from the first explosion to the arrival of the logistics support personnel who had stayed nearby to transport and dispose of the weapons, but everyone was already dead and the murderer had already left the scene. ”
"Judging from the throwing knives and crossbow arrows left at the scene, it is the style of the Red Banner army. They had no intention of cleaning up the scene at all, most likely deliberately leaving traces. ”
When he said this, Cui Zhenmo's face was no longer bloody.
"You mean-North, North, Beidou?" Cui Shupu's old face also turned pale, and his lips trembled and he said it three times in a row before he was so difficult to spit out those two words.
Cui Zhenmo nodded, his face even more ugly than his father Cui Shupu.
The father and son really didn't want to believe that it was 'Beidou' who did it, even if the Japanese sword master sneaked back to Japan and killed all these elites of the Cui family in a surprise attack, for the Cui family, it was much better than these elites being killed by 'Beidou'!
'Beidou' is a sharp weapon of the Red Banner to control the country, and it is by no means a force that can be used privately. Their dispatch represents the attitude of the Red Flag!
Beidou is dead!
Once the 'Beidou' is out, there must be a blood sacrifice for the gods, the Cui family, will it be the sacrifice this time? But there is no precedent for the 'Beidou' to be used against the internal forces of the Asian Community!
Thinking of this, even Cui Shupu's city government felt that he was going to faint - it was nothing to offend the Sword Saint, even if the Sword Saint martial arts achievements were all over the world, he was just a person, and he could find a way to deal with it;
can offend the suzerain's Red Banner, so that the Red Banner is dispatched to the 'Beidou', even if it is the Cui family, except for the catastrophe, Cui Shupu can't think of any other fate.
"Whew-" Cui Shupu took a deep breath, he stood up and walked to the window.
Outside the window, there are flowers and trees, and the edge of the pond is dotted with some rocks.
This is the ancestral home of the Cui family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it is the place where the ancestors of the Cui family were born, grew up, became adults, and made various decisions.
This is the holy place of the Cui family.
The Cui family must not fall in my hands!
Cui Shupu looked at the garden outside the window, and in the ancestral house that imitated the Jiangnan landscape garden of the Heavenly Dynasty, all kinds of pavilions and pavilions were scattered. This is a testimony to the centuries-old history of the Cui family.
"Urgently convene the Council of Elders, I have something to say. ”
Cui Shupu's waist was straight again, at this moment, any weakness and fear was expelled from his heart, and a smile appeared on his face again, and in the gentle smile, his eyes returned to the sharpness of a blade.
It seems that at this moment, the stubborn young patriarch is back.
It was when he was in his twenties that he was ordered to be in danger, and under the pressure of the entire family presbyterian council at that time, he insisted on leading the Cui family from the increasingly difficult financial industry to the mental state of industrial manufacturing.
For some people, the more they face the stormy seas, the more refreshed they become, but the peaceful life that wears down the passion in the breasts of such people.
————————————
"That's how it was decided, real book, you go and send out invitations, and the more people you invite, the better. Let's just say that at six o'clock tomorrow night, our Cui family will organize an important business dinner, including me and the Cui family elders' meeting, and all the important members of the Cui family will attend. ”
"Father!?Why is that??Why did you make such a decision?We don't know where the Juggernaut is, we shouldn't-"
Cui Zhenshu was shocked, wasn't this clearly a good opportunity for that sword saint to attack?
"If that Sword Saint really has the ability to make Chiqi value him so much, and he wants to wipe out our Cui family, tomorrow will be his best chance-" Cui Shupu looked at his son and said with a smile.
"W-father?"
"You may not know that the special combat team we sent to Japan has been wiped out, and the person who did it is very likely to be 'Beidou'!"
"What! Who else knows about this?" Cui Zhenshu was shocked, provoking 'Beidou' was not as simple as offending a sword master.
"We can block messages for up to three days. But the real book, you don't have to be so pessimistic, if the red flag is really so dissatisfied with us, then 'Beidou' will not appear in Japan, but here. Cui Shupu pointed to his feet, this is the ancestral home of the Cui family.
Even if it is the Cui family's accumulation of hundreds of years, can it be able to stop the 'Beidou'? This is an ancestral home, not a military base with professional defense facilities.
When Cui Shupu calmed down, he could naturally think of the difference. If Chiqi is really determined to keep Yanagi Yuanhe, and calls through official channels, will the Cui family still dare to touch the Japanese sword saint without a single hair?
Since the red flag has not made a clear statement, it shows that there is still room for manipulation. And this leeway, the most ideal result for the Cui family is to kill this sword master with a time difference.
When the time comes, it's a big deal that he will resist his fate as the patriarch, anyway, after the Red Flag Revolution, he will not pay attention to the nine clans of Zhulian for a long time. If it drags on like this, who knows how the Red Flag side will react?
Although the Choi family was extremely powerful in Goguryeo, the intelligence work could not reach the top of the Red Banner.
Since he can't get Liu Shengyuan and all kinds of connections with Red Banner, Cui Shupu can only rely on the existing information, plus speculation to guess Liu Shengyuan's relationship with Red Banner, and mistakes are inevitable, but the Cui family is in such a predicament, no matter what they do, it is better than waiting to be killed.
"Invite more people from other families to come, especially the people from the Li family of the royal family, this matter can only turn around if everyone is dragged into the Cui family. I want to see if that sword master is really crazy and comes to kill tomorrow, whether the red flag will protect him!
After sending the invitation, you went to the Yeonyi military base in Pyongyang overnight, where you presided over the second center of the Choi family, and you should not come back for a short time. ”
Cui Shupu looked out the window and said without looking back.
The garden at night always feels a little ghostly.
"Father's ——!"
"Go ahead, it's not certain who will die or live! It's just a precaution. Since that sword master has the protection of the Red Banner behind him, as long as there is the slightest chance, I will try to reconcile with him.
That Sword Saint who can cultivate to such an extent will not be a fool, even if he kills me, what good can he do to him, except that it is more scrupulous?"
"What's more, this time I pulled the Council of Elders together, the younger generation has already withdrawn, if something really happens, you will have a lot less constraints in the future, which may not be a good thing for the future of the Cui family. Alright, there you go!"
"-Father-"
"Roll ——!"
————————————
Tokyo, Japan.
"Who the hell did it?" Kujo Sekijo's heart was full of doubts.
As the deputy director of the Japanese National Security Agency in charge of Tokyo's security, Kujo Sekijo, although the relevant departments of the Japanese government have reached a tacit understanding with Goguryeo, such a large number of elite soldiers sneaked into Tokyo, especially with professional military weapons and equipment, if he does not send anyone to keep an eye on it, it will be called a fool.
"I don't know, because our superiors instructed us to 'conduct proper monitoring', we didn't have first-hand information, and when we found out that the abandoned factory was on fire and rushed to the scene, we could only confirm that at least 150 corpses of those Goguryeo people were left. ”
The reporter was also very helpless, how could such a small person like him be involved in such an immortal fight? Knowing that these people were very wrong, when the report of the detailed investigation was typed, it was directly verbally approved by the immediate boss -- 'conduct proper monitoring'.
Hearing this reply, how could he not know that the origin of these people must be strange? 'Proper surveillance' is a black word in their business, which means that unless something big happens, don't care.
Then he will play soy sauce, anyway, he has seen a lot of strange things in their line of work.
But today, the superiors were suddenly taken away by the supervision department. This is really not good news, in their line of work, if there is no problem, it is enough, and if there is a problem, it must be a big problem.
Fortunately, he kept an eye on the report he submitted at the beginning, and in addition to keeping more than one copy of the report he submitted to apply for a detailed investigation, he also asked two colleagues to help him revise it, which of course was not because he could not write a report, but because he deliberately wanted to prepare two witnesses! He even secretly filmed a video of his colleagues helping to revise the report at that time.
Otherwise, when the supervision department came to the door later, they would have to take the blame for that bastard's superior.
If it is other professions, it is nothing to blame the superiors, maybe they will be valued by the superiors because of this, and there will be more benefits in the future. But his industry is the National Security Agency, and he has to carry the blame blindly!
Kujou Sekijo looked at the person in front of him who was supposed to die, but refused to die, and he was not in a good mood.
The bastard in front of him was originally an unlikable person, he was neither a member of the royal family, nor a member of their aristocratic consortium, nor even a person from the Democratic Party known as the Plebeian Party, the whole thing was a thirteen unreliable.
This old man was originally a carefully selected scapegoat for his subordinates. As a result, the work link was done solidly and without leakage, and the pot could not be thrown on his head at all.
Now, only his subordinates are going to take the pot by themselves.
Although it is only a small role, it also has some real power, and this position is easy to be grasped by other forces when it is vacated, and the follow-up is also a bit troublesome.
Damn, why do you have so many rice buckets under your own hands? Such idiots, who can't even find a scapegoat, how on earth did they become petty leaders in a department like the National Security Bureau?
Kujou Sekijo didn't think of the problem on his own head - if he hadn't promoted a group of his own people after becoming the deputy director of the National Security Bureau, how could that gentleman be a small leader?
It's just that the Kujou family has received so many benefits from the Goguryeo Cui family and the royal Li family - including cooperation projects and multi-faceted interest exchanges, which will not work if the Cui family is not explained.
You must know that the Cui family has made a lot of money this time, and elite private soldiers of this level are a treasure bump in any family, not to mention dying so many at once, even ten or eight deaths will make people feel distressed for a long time.
However, why hasn't the Cui family's call come yet? Don't they care about this loss? That can't be!
So, do they already know who did it? After all, their subordinates were ordered not to approach for no reason, so the first people to react should be the Cui family's own support personnel, and the fire at the scene may not have been set by the murderer.
What exactly are they trying to hide?
To be able to silently annihilate so many elite forces of the Cui family in Tokyo, Japan, such an organization is simply unheard of!
Except for the Eldest Princess's bodyguard, I haven't heard of any other round table guards entering the country?
If the demigod had personally led the team, it would not be impossible to defeat them. However, it would be an exaggeration to exterminate them all.
That's an elite warrior, not a group of fools, this kind of warrior is extremely amazing in terms of combat and personal survivability, even if a large army is dispatched to encircle and suppress, you have to worry about slipping through the net, not to mention that the eldest princess's bodyguard does not exceed thirty people, and it is impossible to form an encirclement at all.
In order to prevent this unit from going crazy, the Tokyo garrison on the Japanese side has a regiment in a state of first-class combat readiness and is ready to be dispatched at any time.
In the world, it is possible to eliminate these elite warriors silently, and the number of dispatches does not require too much organization, only ———— hahaha, that is simply impossible!
Kujou Sekijo smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, sure he was thinking too much.
