Li Zhen realized that things might not be what he imagined, but it was still a little inexplicable. Wearing a military uniform, I feel a little rigid and rigid. subconsciously wanted to scratch his head, and remembered the "military appearance and military discipline" that he had been told during the previous training-

I was a little at a loss for a while.

Fortunately, Dai Bingcheng pushed him with a smile: "What are you doing in a daze?" If you don't know, you should go to it decisively. After half an hour, don't be late. Then he walked away with his hands behind his back.

At this time, Ying Ran squeezed out of the crowd that was leaving, and shouted to Li Zhen with a smile: "Hey, what are you doing in a daze, come down." ”

Li Zhen jumped off the stage, feeling that his face, which had been tense for a long time, could finally relax. While gently rubbing the corners of his mouth, he asked, "Brother Ying, what did Director Dai mean by the competition just now?" ”

Ying Ran smiled slightly and pointed to his shoulder: "Don't call it that, it's not appropriate." Call me Brother Ying in the future. ”

Only then did Li Zhen realize that his military rank was one level higher than him.

Although the executive officers have military ranks, they are not part of the ordinary combat forces, and therefore are not as strict in rank as local troops. However, class is still class after all, and Li Zhen had to change his words a little uncomfortably: "Well, Brother Ying." ”

"That's right, it sounds like a 'hero', haha." Ying Ran Ha Lu smiled, and said as he walked out slowly, "This competition is our tradition. After the newcomer report, everyone who was not on duty went to the small canteen on the west side of the bureau, so that this year's newcomer and the last newcomer king-"

"Oh, you still don't know what a rookie king is." Ying resolutely blinked, "For example, if you fight with the rookie king last time, or eat - you choose this yourself, if you win, then you are the rookie king." The next time someone comes, it's you competing with someone. ”

"Huh?" Li Zhen opened his mouth wide, "I understand the wine." Fighting? How can there be such a tradition? ”

"That's a long time to talk about." Ying resolutely took off his hat and put it under his armpit, and said as he walked, "More than a hundred years ago—at that time, there was no distinction between the southern base and the northern base—and a new person was added to the secret service. When I was a child, I had a hard time, and I was the type who ate more and worked harder. After the first day of reporting, the instructor told him, "You are here to eat and be full." Then he really opened up and ate - a man ate the amount of thirty people, and went out on his first mission that night, and took out a nest of bandits who were quite difficult at that time. After that, everyone respected him and called him the king of newcomers. ”

"Later, I caught up with the First World War, and you should also know what happened at that time, we sent troops to Siberia and the like, and there was a famine in the whole country, and there was also a famine in the secret service. So at that time, when a new person came in, a group of people pouted to see who had a bigger appetite than the newcomer, so that they could eat enough - this tradition slowly came to pass. ”

Li Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth.

Is that okay?

So he asked, "What...... Who was the rookie king last time? ”

The two men had already walked out of the building, and saw the slanting sunset about to set behind the mountains. Large swathes of the building were plated with an orange sè, and even the people who walked in the distance and wore black sè military uniforms turned orange.

Ying resolutely squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and raised his hand to point: "Did you see that one?" Hey, that, girl without a hat—"

Girl? Li Zhen was stunned. But he still looked in the direction he was pointing. His vision was better than that of a normal person, so he could see it clearly—it was indeed a girl. Dressed in the black uniform of an executive, it looks slender and long in the sun, with a ponytail tied behind his head.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Ying Resolute: "No kidding, right?" ”

"The newcomer king of the previous generation, you also think so. Then the intestine was obstructed. Ying resolutely smiled maliciously, "Don't underestimate the enemy, you can use your own ability in this matter." That girl's ability is a C-level autonomous full-body enhancement. When it comes to fighting, it may not be as good as you, and when it comes to other things - you try to stretch your stomach three or four times wider? ”

Li Zhen looked at the slender back in the distance again, and it took a long time before asking, "Such a god...... What is your name? ”

"Hu Yanling." Ying resolutely raised his thumbs, "Don't just think that people can eat it, this is also the case with marksmanship." I guess your first firearms instructor will be her. When it comes to playing with guns, she said that no one dares to say that she is second. ”

Li Zhen smiled with difficulty: "If you say that...... Then I'll just throw in the towel. If you can't fight the girls......"

Ying resolutely shook his head: "This really can't work. ”

He looked left and right, made sure that there was no one around, and put away the smile on his face: "What Director Dai said before, I arranged such a play for you again, and it has some other meanings." ”

Li Zhenzhi said that he might have to say something very important to himself again, so he also became serious.

"You're rising too fast. When he came, he was a lieutenant, and he compared many old people. Although the results of our rewards and punishments for the Pingyang incident have not yet come out, it is estimated that there will not be many people who will be able to eat meat. So there must be people who have an opinion about you – it's human. ”

Li Zhen nodded silently.

"So I plan to take this opportunity to get you familiar with everyone as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you fight hard or not, just let everyone see that you are happy and plan to integrate into our group. So, when that happens, you have to let go and don't be restrained. ”

"Hmm...... The so-called emphasis is on participation. Li Zhen nodded.

Ying resolutely laughed again: "But you work harder!" A group of our men were usurped by a girl to occupy the title of rookie king, and they couldn't raise their heads for more than a year! ”

Li Zhen showed an expression of looking at death as if he were at home, took a deep breath, loosened the tie around his neck, and stared sadly at the back figure that was about to disappear in the distance: "You can use your own ability, right?" ”

Ying resolutely hummed heavily.

So Li Zhen rubbed his stomach: "I can't do it when I drink." If you eat, you will fight! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The two of them arrived at the West Cafeteria half an hour later. Because before that, he should have resolutely explained to him some internal affairs of the Security Bureau, so that he would not make jokes. Although he had been exposed to some of the information during his training, he was not an official executive at the time. It wasn't until after he was awarded the title that the slightly mysterious security bureau of Xi Rì showed the full picture in front of him.

For example, not all executives are capable.

He thought about it and thought it was reasonable. After all, there are only 3,000 capable people above the C level in China.

Executive officer of the Northern Base Security Bureau of the Special Affairs Office, 56 people were on the staff before the Binh Duong incident, and 44 people are currently on the staff, commonly known as "internal service".

Dai Bingcheng and below, there are six people with the rank of captain, 19 with the rank of lieutenant, and 18 with the rank of second lieutenant.

Among them, there are 23 capable people and 21 ordinary people with outstanding talents.

It must be mentioned that the executive officer of the Secret Service and the special security forces of the Secret Service belong to two separate systems. The rank of an executive officer is, in a sense, more like a symbol of honor and rank and treatment.

A captain may not be able to defeat an ensign easily, but the captain must have done much more than the ensign.

Other civilian personnel also belong to the establishment of the Security Directorate — such as Anrusu. But most of these people are civilian and are responsible for the internal work of the Security Bureau. Such as administration, supplies, medical care, and so on. These people are not included in the "back office".

The executive officer is mainly responsible for dealing with conflicts and disputes between the competent persons and between the competent persons and ordinary people, and has the right to intervene at any time in ordinary cases that he deems to be related to the competent persons in the capacity of special observers.

Members of the special security forces are responsible for the security of special units such as the Northern Base, and are obliged to cooperate with the executive in emergencies related to the capable.

The Special Security Forces are subordinate to the major military districts of the Empire and are not accountable to the Special Affairs Office.

The Security Bureau had dispatched departments in sixteen provincial-level administrative regions in the northern part of the empire, with the most basic level being the county-level offices. In addition, there is a general security bureau in the capital Yanjing. However, due to some historical reasons, the current General Security Bureau exists in name only, and the director of the General Bureau is also concurrently served by the General Secretary of the Special Affairs Office, stationed in Yanjing.

According to Ying Ran, the abolition of the General Directorate of Security will be about the next few years.

Among the 16 provincial-level administrative divisions in the north, there are about 2,400 executive officers, commonly known as "field service". However, among the more than 2,400 field personnel, the proportion of competent personnel accounts for only about 10%. The others are ordinary people with "outstanding talents".

But even if such a large number of ordinary people fill the huge gap in the number of law enforcement officers, the special affairs office's influence in some remote places is still limited.

When he heard this, Li Zhen felt a little incredible. After all, the Capable have been around for nearly two hundred years, and the history of the Special Affairs Office is almost as old as the Capable itself...... How could such an institution still be like this today?

Ying resolutely smiled: "90 incident." Otherwise, what kind of state agency would make concessions to a minority such as the able-bodied? Because there were so many deaths that time. Today, we have 44 internal staff members, including the director. Before 90 years, that number had to be multiplied by ten. That time...... It has affected almost all the capable people in the country. The two or three generations that have accumulated over the decades have almost all died. So you rarely see older people in our bureau. ”

Li Zhen nodded. He hesitated and asked: "I heard my dad say that in the nineties, there was a period of qigong cháo, and many people claimed to have special functions, but then disappeared. This is also ......"

"That's right." Ying resolutely sighed, "At that time, it was a mixture. There are some liars, but others are capable people – they want to get the public to admit their existence in this way. But then there was that scuffle, coupled with the control of public opinion, and that hot cháo also cooled down. So today, when I talk to people about qigong and special functions, most people just laugh it off - because there are too few people like us now. ”

Li Zhen was a little silent. But he quickly adjusted his mood: "So what we have to do is just stop that from happening." ”

Ying resolutely smiled and patted his arm: "That's right." Let's go. They should be ready to go. ”
