Chapter 91 Common Interests
The assassination of the former director of the Special Security Service shocked the Empire, so that the Empire did not dare to promote and appoint a new director within the Special Security Bureau, but sent Anne Whitehead, who had a deep background, ability, and loyalty, to Salo Young.
The reason is that the former head of the security bureau died in his office...... It was poisoning and died.
In the hinterland of the Special Security Bureau, which is protected by layers, it is definitely much more difficult to assassinate the boss of the Security Bureau than to assassinate him outside. If this assassination was a demonstration of the Empire by an organization to demonstrate its assassination prowess, then someone should publicly declare responsibility for the assassination.
However, no one or organization issued a statement after the death of the director.
This is to show that the assassination of the former head of the Security Service was not a show of muscles, but a ...... Someone had to kill him, "either you die or I die", and he can't wait for a moment.
The former head of the security bureau must have obtained information that could kill a certain person, and this person's power has extended into the special security service, and can easily control the life and death of the head of the security bureau.
The General Directorate of Imperial Garrison judged that there had been a mutiny in the Special Security Service, and it was not a ...... Otherwise, their chief would have been assassinated, and they would not have been able to find any clues. That's what the Special Security Service does, and they're all specialists...... None of them knew how their bureau chief died, which shows the whole assassination process: someone was responsible for the action, someone was responsible for covering, someone was responsible for eliminating traces, and someone was responsible for misleading the direction of the investigation......
It is not excluded that most of the people in the Special Security Service are still loyal to the Empire, but there must be a small and well-organized group within them, so that there is no one to trust in the entire Security Bureau, and the General Security Bureau can only appoint another director of the Security Bureau, hoping that Anne can clean up this mess.
However, on Anne's first day in office, the Blue Cathedral was attacked by evil cultists and demons. Then the Blue Cathedral broke out again...... An event with an excess of heavy weapons and a Silver Wing.
The Marcellus Council and the Saloyan City Hall danced so happily that Anne couldn't help but connect the clues in her hands.
What information did the former head of the Security Service find? So that some people had to kill him immediately.
And who were the security service traitors who killed him? Why are they willing to take a huge risk to assassinate important people in the empire as well?
The extra heavy weapons and silver wings of the Blue Cathedral could not have been transported into the center of Saroyan without the cover of the Special Security Service. And what role do these NSA traitors play in this process?
What do you want to do with so many heavy weapons in the Blue Cathedral? And how many?
If this batch of weapons has something to do with the Council of Marcellus, then the Blue Cathedral's excess number of weapons is definitely not the ones they are showing now, and there must be more forbidden weapons in its arsenal.
If this inference is true...... Then the large-scale arms smuggling is not something that the Special Security Service can cover up. The most important and secret way for weapons to enter the Salorian is by sea. And it is impossible for a ship that smuggles arms on a large scale to go undetected without the cover of the navy attached to the Blue Corps.
Anne told Da Liang all about what she knew. The whole situation in Saroyan was "no enemy among me, no enemy among me" for Anne. Originally, she still had the Blue Legion to use, and when it came to finding out the truth, she relied on the Imperial Army to control the overall situation. Outcome...... Now even the Blue Legion is unreliable, and some of them may have been corrupted, which is why Anne applied to let the 1st Division of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment come to Salloyan......
But how to find out still depends on Anne herself.
Robin and Eric followed this group of ancient heroes. The strength of the General Security Bureau in Salo Yang is weak, and the strength that Anne can rely on is really too little and too little.
So she thought of this force that everyone had not expected. Powerful, mysterious, heroes from the ancient age of magic, and there are no conflicts of interest with this world.
In order to be able to establish a direct connection with these ancient heroes, Anne finds a breakthrough in Brown, and if she is Brown's fiancée, then she can borrow a date with Brown to meet his friends.
Anne didn't hide too much from Da Liang about this incident, she told everything she knew. In Saloyan, she has no way back and must do everything possible to win this force to her side.
"That's the difficulties I'm facing and the situation in Saroyan, I don't know who to trust here, but I don't think we want war here, so we have a basis for cooperation."
The emergence of war in Salo Yang is indeed not what Da Liang wants to see.
This kind of thing is going to school, even if it's not on Salo Yang, it's the same if you change cities and magic schools. But he had just put all his money into Saroyan's real estate.
Sell...... It definitely can't be sold now, after all, no one dares to be a pick-up man at this time.
That's 400,000 gold pounds!
Alas......
I thought that if I got the matter of the evil cultists and demons done, I would be able to sit back and watch the appreciation of the real estate I bought, but I didn't expect that Saroyang would have a more serious crisis than the demons.
It's all the fault of not knowing the world.
But the money has already been invested, can't you just watch them go down the drain?
Da Liang asked Anne, "What do you want me to do for you?" Will it help you find out the traitors to the Security Service, or will you make the Council of Marcellus disappear? ”
This is a very positive sign for Anne, who said: "The traitors of the Security Service and the Council of Marcellus are just the surface of this muddy water. The deepest stinky mud can't be dug out, and the water is still muddy. I came to Salo Yang to dig the mud. And as long as I have a chance to turn the tide of the situation in Saloyan, I will not let non-imperial forces intervene.
This is the honor of the Empire, and my dignity.
Young Master Liang, please forgive me for my stubbornness. You don't have to do anything now, I just want to get a promise from you......"
"What promise?"
"If the situation in Saroyan is completely out of control...... I ask you to help stabilize the situation. ”
Da Liang did not answer immediately.
This is both a request and a temptation.
Anne wants to see if this group of ancient heroes has the strength to control the city of Saloyan. If Da Liang agrees to help stabilize the situation, it means that he can deal with the Imperial Army, the Special Security Service, the Marcellus Council, the Saloyan City Hall, the Azure Holy See, and all the forces in Saloyang at the same time.
"I'm sorry......" Da Liang very simply rejected Anne's request, he said, "You keep saying it...... Our interests in Saloyan are aligned, but we refuse to offer me direct help to avoid war.
You're still wary of me when you're seeking cooperation, for fear of luring the wolf into the house and giving Saloyan another more power to compete.
If you are not sincere, I will not promise you anything.
What I want is...... Salo Yang was stable until the end of the college holidays, hoping that prices would pick up and that customers would fill my soon-to-open stores.
You and I are not pursuing the same thing, so ......
I decided to go it alone. ”
