"I think you should know why I'm here, Christine."

Hoover straightened his collar and sat across from Christine's desk with a slightly fat belly.

The two had returned to the Admiral's office from Anjie's hospital, and Hoover had apparently asked Christine to talk about.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have two things to do with me. The first is to read out His Majesty's punishment to me, and the second is for this ...... Or should the order of first and second be reversed? ”

"That's right, turn it around. The punishment for you is far less important than what you have in your hands. ”

Hoover said dryly, and reached out to take the small box that Christine handed over. Open it, and a pile of shredded paper lies there quietly.

Although they were just scraps of paper, Hoover looked at them as much as he looked at a box of gold!

"Patents for alternating current and unlimited power transmission technology, the Imperial Capital Patent Office Association must have nothing to say!"

His voice trembled slightly, as the top leader of the Ministry of Intelligence, he should not have been so excited. But in the face of the prospects brought by these two technologies, Rao is that he can't maintain a calm mind.

"Hoover, tell me honestly, what will you do after you get these two patents?"

Hoover said without hesitation: "Send all the products related to it to the central workshop, and let the technicians there develop electromagnetic weapons non-stop!" ”

Christine had a sure expression.

"Christine, you were closest to the Northern Fortress when it was destroyed, and you must have known more about the power of electricity than anyone else. A fortress that has stood for a hundred years without falling is gone under the power of electricity, and this kind of powerful energy must serve our army! ”

Christine was noncommittal about what Hoover said, she never showed her attitude, and after quietly taking a puff on her cigar, she took out another letter and handed it to Hoover and said:

"Let's make a decision after reading this."

That letter was the one that Nikolai had written to the whole of the Empire.

Hoover silently read the letter and returned it to Christine.

"Nicholas Tesla was a scientist of high character. However, I am a military man. ”

"My starting point for everything is to serve the army. Are you trying to stop me? Christine? ”

Christine chuckled.

"How is that possible? I don't have any reason to stop you, didn't His Majesty the Emperor have already come to a conclusion on the matter of treating the genius of Bilibili? ”

"Except for the technologies that were in circulation at the beginning, none of Nikolai Tesla's energy-related inventions were allowed to be used by the people without permission - this is what His Majesty the Emperor said himself, although the people in the Imperial Capital Patent Office are all crazy, but there is no one who dares to do anything with the Emperor who has shown his attitude............ Especially if the patents are all in your hands. ”

"Exactly."

Hoover smiled with satisfaction, reached out and pulled a document from his bosom and handed it to Christine.

"This is His Majesty's punishment for you, and I can reveal a little bit to you...... It's not serious. ”

Nonsense - Christine thought to herself. When she served in the Ministry of Intelligence before, she made mistakes because of such and such things, but she eventually climbed all the way to the position of the head of a military region, and naturally it was impossible to rely on her own force alone. However...... "I owe Her Royal Highness a favor again." ”

The trial was opened, and it was clearly written: "In view of the capture of the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military District, Christian Saint-Boan, the Consultative Council and the Central Staff have decided as follows: to suspend General Christine Saint-Boon from his post and to recall him to the Military Academy for three years, during which time the affairs of the North will be in charge of General Lesa Saint-Boan." January 5, 1676. ”

"It's so much lighter than I thought I was going to be transferred to the West to wipe the butts of a bunch of little kids."

Christine shook the document in her hand expressionlessly, and there was a sense of dissatisfaction in her voice.

"You're not satisfied?"

Hoover easily saw her dissatisfaction, after all, the two were also former colleagues.

"It's okay, anyway, this is the job that Her Royal Highness Princess won for me. It's just that...... I hate having kids. ”

Christine puffed on another cigar with a depressed expression.

"I brought it out, and you saw it. That puppy was obviously a wolf, but I took him like a dog, cautious, careful, and not making the slightest mistake...... He doesn't have the adventurous spirit that a wolf should have. I'm not fit with kids. ”

Admiral Lessa, who was dealing with post-war matters, sneezed: "Ahh ”

"Is there one? Admiral Lesa is very good~"

Hoover's resentment of Christine is somewhat amused, in fact, in the eyes of all who know the mother and son, Lysa is better than Christine!

But he didn't say it very interestingly, a wolf mother looked at her wolf child unpleasantly, and this was their family affair.

"All in all, I have already delivered the judgment book, and I have also obtained the patent left by Master Nichollai, and this trip has not been in vain."

Hoover got up with a smile and said, "I still have a lot of work in the imperial capital, so I won't continue to accompany you here, and besides, you are also going to serve in the military academy, let's see you in the imperial capital, Christine." ”

Christine didn't speak, just waved her hand. That clearly means: Get out of here, get out of here.

Hoover didn't care, just left Christine's office with a smile on his face...... Then his expression changed.

The smiling and amiable little old man in front of Christine was gone, replaced by a solemn and majestic general!

The sharp light that shot out of those small eyes even frightened a clerk who accidentally passed by so much that the documents in his hand were scattered all over the ground!

(Nikolai Tesla, who has recently been active in the North as can be known from the report, appeared in the Northern Fortress half a month ago, and has not been seen since.) ）

Reaching out and holding it on the railing, Hoover pulled out the letter written by Nicholas again.

(Those who can write such things must be people of high character, but unfortunately peace cannot be built on character.) In order to guarantee peace and dignity, dirty means and cruel laws are necessary. ）

He didn't come to the North alone, he was joined by an elite team of the CIA, and this team had only one purpose: to capture the genius engineer - Nikolai Tesla!

Christine didn't know about it, but Lesa did. Hoover was also a guy who thought Lysa was more reliable than Christine, and as it turned out, Lysa didn't disappoint him.

After vaguely mentioning that this was the emperor's wish, he took care of everything for the central team without saying a word, so that they could silently search the north like ghosts.

It stands to reason that with such a team of ghosts, he should soon get news of Nikolai. However, to this day, he has not received even a single sighting report.

The search stalled, but Hoover was not disappointed. After many disappointments in one thing, he could no longer afford to be disappointed.

"As cunning as ever, Nikolai Tesla. However, I will definitely catch you and put your talents to the service of the Empire! ”
