Chapter 166 166 Globes and Pushpins
Although something like this happened, the huge organization entrenched in Potsdam is still operating as usual, and Lin Youde has to continue to do what he should do as the center of the organization, so after the lunch that is still solemn, Lin Youde will throw the mess that continued last night to the girls to solve, and seize the time to take a nap for a while and continue to deal with official business.
Yesterday's attack piled up many documents that should have been dealt with yesterday, and the attack itself created a series of troublesome things that required Lin Youde to make his own judgment.
"Public opinion on the expulsion of the people of Yingzhou in Potsdam has been assessed." As she spoke, Hybert put the report in front of Lin Youde.
Lin Youde just glanced at it, didn't look carefully, anyway, his public opinion evaluators were all brought out by him in class, and after training at the headquarters, he was sent to various branches to provide support to the branch chief, so from the beginning, Lin Youde didn't expect them to give any reports that were particularly unexpected to him, purely "giving young people a chance to exercise".
After confirming the outline at the beginning of the report, Lin Youde then approved a few words, returned the report to Hybert, and asked casually: "Did the agent in charge of investigating suspicious characters give feedback about last night's incident?" β
"Not yet."
"That's right, it will probably take a little time for the rumors to spread this Sanssouci Palace." Lin Youde nodded, "Let the propaganda department be prepared to create a new focus of public opinion when it confirms that rumors about Sissi and me appear among the general public in Potsdam." I think a fake murder should be good, let them make up a confusing joke and choose a more famous person to work with. β
"Yes." Hybert agreed very simply. This is not the first time that Lin Youde's propaganda department has done this kind of thing, at the beginning, Lin Youde personally handled it, copying the classic cases of later generations to artificially create hot spots, and now, the Propaganda Department of NERV Potsdam headquarters has been able to carry out these operations by itself, and Lin Youde is no longer needed to end up in person.
After arranging the above, Lin Youde let the topic return to the original axis.
"How is the interrogation of the Yingzhou people who have been detained now?"
"There has been no progress, and the intelligence services are strongly demanding that they be allowed to use torture to a limited extent."
"No, we are a humanitarian organization, and the use of torture against people who have no solid evidence to prove that they are suspects is tantamount to slapping ourselves in the face."
In fact, what Lin Youde is most worried about is not the spread of the news, but the spread to the ears of those scientists with a strong sense of justice in his organization. What's more, the torture of an innocent person who is likely to be a passerby is not in line with his Lin Youde's values.
"In short, let the lads of the Intelligence Department use their brains and try to search for irrefutable evidence, pry the mouths of those guys with evidence and facts. That's it. Is there anything else you'd like to report? β
Hybert hesitated, but finally decided to say it anyway: "Yes." Mr. Hayashi, the Japanese ambassador to Germany sent a telegram expressing shock at the whole thing and ......"
"Call back, you want to kill me."
"What?"
"If you want to kill me, just reply to them."
Hyper nodded, "Understood." β
After his deputy left, Lin Youde turned the chair - the chair in his office had been replaced with a more modern swivel chair, for which the old housekeeper of Sanssouci Palace complained for a while, and the old man seemed to feel that the swivel chair had destroyed the overall simplicity and elegance of Sanssouci Palace.
Lin Youde looked at the sky outside the window.
Although the means of communication in this era are advancing at an astonishing rate, the speed of information transmission is still far less than that of the world when Lin Youde spent the first two decades of his life. Lin Youde estimated that at this moment, European countries have just received the preliminary report of yesterday's assassination, and they have not yet been able to fully grasp what happened, and it will probably take three or four days for these countries to grasp enough details and make their own judgments. The countries will surely judge the identity of the attackers from Lin Youde's large-scale detention and investigation of the Yingzhou people in Potsdam.
An emerging country in Asia would dare to send thousands of miles to the territory of the traditional European powers to assassinate Shenji at this moment, what kind of butterfly effect this matter would cause, even Lin Youde could not be 100% sure.
It is unlikely that Japan's diplomacy in Europe will be particularly smooth in the future, but it is not excluded that some countries will take advantage of Japan's difficulties at every turn and throw olive branches to them.
Lin Youde understands the special enthusiasm of the Japanese for the "Heavenly Punishment" operation, and also knows what kind of people the Japanese government in this era is controlled by a group of people, but he still feels that it is really stupid to rashly carry out such an assassination at such a time.
But if you think about it carefully, if Japan was not stupid, it would not have started a war with the behemoth of the United States in the last time and space. It's just that compared to the gambling on the fortune of the country in the previous time and space, this assassination looks a hundred times stupider, and I always feel that there is something strange in it.
Lin Youde sat in the swivel chair and turned back and forth, thinking about the possibilities of the future.
What if the assassination had been carefully weighed? Is it possible that the Japanese have a reason to get rid of the fox at the risk of angering the European powers? Lin Youde smacked his lips.
Then he pressed the button and called Hybert over.
"Let the Japanese branch devote its most capable efforts to investigate Matsudaira Chihiro's experience in Japan, allow them to expose themselves appropriately, and contact those who have a deep relationship with Matsudaira Chihiro."
"Do you want to check again?" Hybert looked confused.
After all, Lin Youde asked them to investigate the fox's background and background at the beginning of the establishment of the Japanese branch, and the Japanese branch also handed over a very detailed and highly credible report.
"Yes, let them look it up. Remind them that I want to check something other than that report against the last report I was given, I don't know what it is, but it is likely that it is the reason why the Japanese want to get rid of Chihiro at such a big risk. β
"Yes."
As soon as Hybert was about to leave, Lin Youde stopped him.
For a moment, Lin Youde planned to retract his order, after all, it didn't seem good to let the lurkers in front of him get into danger for a groundless conjecture: you know, the lurkers in front were really carrying out the task with their heads. And the previous report has been very exhausted, and the reliability is high enough, from beginning to end, Lin Youde has not found any loopholes, and it stands to reason that there should be no omissions.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Youde said: "Change it slightly, not require them to make contact even if they expose themselves, and remind them to pay attention to protect themselves and investigate when it is safe to do so." β
"Yes."
After Hybert left, Lin Youde was stunned for a while, and then he picked up his energy and continued to work on the mountains of papers on the desktop.

At the same time, in the United States, several time zones, it was late at night, but the presidential office in the White House was still brightly lit.
Charlotte? Draenau? Roosevelt was sitting at his desk, poring over a document as thick as a brick.
At this time, Charlotte's deputy, Marshall, entered the office and placed a telegram on Charlotte's desk. Charlotte did not look up, nor did she look like she was about to reach for the telegram, so Marshall began to dictate the contents of the telegram: "Through the monitoring of the drug management process of the medical department of Sanssouci Palace, it is confirmed that the assassination caused no casualties; The Gestapo, the secret police organization of the NERV, began a large-scale manhunt for the Japanese in Potsdam. β
"Twelve hours to get this information?" Charlotte shook her head, then sighed, "Well, after all, the opponent is also a good counter-espionage, and he has just been stimulated, and his nerves are very tense." β
Marshall nodded, then said, "It seems that the assassination was done by the Japanese......"
"It may also be a deliberate gesture to mislead the eyes of countries." Charlotte paused, and then changed her words, "However, it doesn't seem to make much sense to do this, and the gains outweigh the losses." So yes, I also think that the Japanese probably did it. That's a good thing for us, isn't it. Let the Secretary of State draft a telegram condemning Japan and publish it as soon as the definite news arrives. β
"Yes." Marshall nodded, but did not leave.
This time, Charlotte finally looked up at himβthat was exactly what Marshall was waiting for without speaking.
At this time, the goal had been achieved, and Marshall did not wait for Charlotte to ask, but said to himself: "The technical representative of the general company is waiting outside. β
Charlotte glanced at the clock in the corner, muttered, "They're pretty hard," and then said to Marshall, "Let them in." β
The representative of General Motors, who is also one of the eight American consortiums, and the latest owner of Playboy magazine, J? R. Morgan walks into Charlotte's office, usually known as Morgan Jr. or Morgan II, to distinguish him from his eponymous grandfather.
"This late-night visit, I guess your assessment of the progress of the Germans has been completed."
"Yes, Miss President." Little Morgan sat down on the couch and crossed his legs as if it were his office.
Charlotte didn't care, she took off her glasses and wiped them while waiting for little Morgan to tell her the result.
"Miss President, my scientists and engineers think that in a year or so the Germans will be able to find a stepping stone. Judging from the information they provided, they are only one step away from deducing the formula, plus the time it takes to verify the formula, and the time it takes to transform the formula into the advantage of the magic equipment, in another four to five years, we will no longer be alone in this field. β
"Is there still a year or so to go......
"Uh, Miss Charlotte, I just said ......"
"I know what you just said, but I'm used to thinking of opponents as stronger. We can't wait, we have to act. β
Charlotte drove her wheelchair out from behind her desk to the globe in the corner, flicking the blue orb lightly, then stopping the rotation with her hand so that the Pacific Ocean was aimed at her face.
Then, Charlotte pressed a pin on the island nation in the upper left of the Pacific Ocean.
