Chapter 173: The Mystery
"Dude, could it be you that guy who got in?" Due to nervousness, Andy was a little stumbling, and at this point, he remembered that Chen Fang's profession seemed to be a data engineer.
"Can't you give me a chance to turn myself in?" Even though Chen Fang had no intention of concealing it, knowing that there would be no danger, he still wanted to fight for a chance to confess and be lenient.
"It's a bad idea, I am responsible for the data security of the anti-terrorism team, and someone blatantly got involved. If I don't pull you out as soon as possible, where will my old face go? Dr. Townsend first had a businesslike face, and then calmly explained to the crowd: "Don't doubt it, this is a harmless joke, and this uninvited guest has no malicious intent. The Augar Empire will not anger anyone, and we welcome all capable scholars, and we also accept special self-nominations. ”
Dr. Townsend first affirmed the identity of the mysterious person's guest, emphasizing that the Augar Empire would not anger anyone, and that capable people were welcome to recommend themselves, which not only had a stabilizing effect on the folk scholars present, but also was a blessing, and the slightly tense atmosphere immediately eased, and people turned their attention to the mysterious guest.
"Before the mystery is solved, allow me to introduce you to someone. Four years ago, a young man broke into the Imperial College's database for the purpose of self-education, and he managed to do so, hovering the database like a ghost for months, unaware of our monitoring system. Young people, it is inevitable that there will be arrogant times, and finally one day, he couldn't hold back, broke into my data terminal, and played a little joke with me. So, I got to know this young man. The Imperial Academy, like the Augar Empire, is a place to discover and cultivate talents, not a place to stifle talents, this young man became a special student of the Imperial Academy as he wished, after four years, he once again made a little joke with me, I personally think that in these four years, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, but my perception of his ability is still stuck in the previous judgment, and did not send him an invitation, so he used a special way to remind him, this is the origin of the seventy-third guest. Townsend ended everything with a quick knife to cut through the mess, not only preserving Chen Fang, but also killing Chen Fang's majesty, saving his face, and couldn't help but be smug about his methods, with a rare smile on his old face.
"Dr. Townsend, don't sell it, tell us who that man is?" The curiosity of the crowd's surprise intensified, who was that young man? The so-called joke is probably a war between data divisions, since it is a war, there are winners and losers, what about the winners and losers? There is also the process of war, and even laymen want to hear the excitement and get a glimpse of this mysterious and powerful profession. It's a pity that the cunning Townsend didn't say a word about it, and only emphasized again and again that it was a joke.
Chen Fang was identified in public in front of everyone, and in an instant, all eyes were focused on this handsome young man, revealing the mystery could not satisfy people's curiosity, but made this young man who suddenly broke into the field of vision more mysterious, and the crowd talked about it, guessing the identity and origin of the handsome young man.
Even the poison that is not fake to all men, also showed a strong interest in Chen Fang, with her identity and arrogance, she had no intention of joining the ranks of folk experts, the purpose of going to the meeting was to find a useful partner, any discipline reached the peak, it needs to dabble in other subjects, and now, her plan urgently needs the help of a data engineer.
Data engineers are different from other majors, the number is already small and pitiful, and those who have achieved a little bit are not worried about getting official recruitment, and top data engineers are even rarer, and her social circle is very narrow, and she is worried about this, Qiao Nan took the initiative to send an invitation.
As we all know, Qiao Nan, the head of the CCA, is a data engineer and has not yet joined any official organization. When she received an invitation from Qiao Nan and accepted it without thinking, Qiao Nan, who didn't know the inside story, thought that her face was big enough, and she was complacent about inviting a super person like Poison.
Although the list of folk experts was concocted by Qiao Nan, his original intention was to seize the opportunity to expand the influence of the organization, but the lack of heavyweight figures on the list was inevitably unconvincing, and he was also gloomy, Qiao Nan's wishful thinking was to use the banner of the Aojia Empire to invite superfigures as much as possible, and then try to pull these superfigures into the CCA., before, he had made a test to Poison, but unfortunately Poison made it clear that he was not interested in civil academic organizations, so he had to give up.
Poison initially identified Qiao Nan as a partner, but she soon realized that Qiao Nan was not a worthy partner to work with, and from the eyes of scholars, Qiao Nan was a bombastic guy who was obsessed with utilitarianism, and this kind of person usually had ordinary skills, far from the requirements of Poison.
In addition to being disappointed, Chen Fang's appearance naturally made the poison's eyes shine, especially the pair of cyan pupils, in the eyes of others, maybe they were just beautiful and cool, but for the poison, it was a miracle of the creator, just a glance at it, she was intoxicated and couldn't extricate herself.
On the other end of the monitor, General Rahe's expression was like a dead fly swallowing a whole plate.
Townsend was clearly deliberately protective, first by portraying the mysterious figure's actions as a joke with him, which excluded the dignity of the NSA and the Empire, and secondly, he defined Chen's status as an uninvited guest, which was a shameless concept of stealing, and now, even if General Lahe was unwilling, could not immediately take measures against the intruder, at least not publicly.
"It's too much, Townsend privately admitted the intruder without going through the investigation, who gave him this right? Also, he knew who the intruder was, so why did he hide it from us before? Exhausted, Rah became angry and turned his anger to Townsend.
"General Rach doesn't need to be angry, Townsend seems to know this young man, so he made a judgment that he has no malicious intent, and besides, the current situation is very delicate, and pursuing this young man may cause uneasiness among the rest of the experts, and the harm will outweigh the benefits, I don't think Dr. Townsend's handling is improper, when it comes to concealment, I believe that Dr. Townsend has his own reasons, or out of love." Having survived a crisis, the Führer clearly did not want to make a difference.
"Townsend didn't know the true identity of that person, not to mention that person had broken into the Imperial Academy's database before, saying that it was for the purpose of self-study, didn't this reason feel far-fetched? I don't deny Townsend's authority in academia, but he is a scholar after all, and it is a gamble to pin national security on a scholar. In the face of General Rahe's strenuous opposition, the NSA and the Intelligence Service expressed the same concerns.
As usual, when the think tanks were divided, the Führer set his sights on the Secretary of State.
"There is no doubt about the young man's motives, and his loyalty to the Augar Empire. Time is of the essence, and since the problem has been eliminated, we will move on to the next link as soon as possible. The Secretary of State glanced at his grandson on the screen, his eyes filled with relief, and after seven years of silence, the proud grandson had finally returned.
"Your Excellency, we all respect your judgment, but now that we are facing a terrorist threat, and the safety of the Augar Empire is at stake, it is better to be cautious in judging whether this person is loyal or not, so why should you put us in danger? If you're sure, can you get us to trust him too, because trust is essential as we work together to defend against the threat of terrorism. At the instigation of the director of national security and others, Rahe once again played the role of a bird.
"Do you think this young man, not only a citizen of the Augar Empire, but also an officer, who traveled with the Black Dragon Legion on this expedition, first saved the vanguard fleet, and then defeated the second man of the Cultivator rebels, do you think his loyalty is questionable?" Lu Beiyan praised his son-in-law, coupled with the media hype, the silver mecha has become a well-known legend, and the Secretary of State will certainly not let go of this powerful bargaining chip.
"What? He's the soldier who piloted that silver mech? "As a soldier who has been a soldier all his life, Rahe is also a tough temper, and he doesn't buy anyone's account in a more serious way. However, he doesn't buy people's accounts, but he buys the accounts of war exploits, and he himself climbed to today's status by virtue of his military exploits, otherwise, with his bull temper, he would have been squeezed out of the imperial capital and outside the core of power.
The secretary of state did not mention the identity of his grandson, and first moved out of the war to bluff people, just to find out his temper.
In the final analysis, the Black Dragon Legion's combat exploits are of high gold content, and the soldiers of the Aojia Empire all know that the Black Dragon Legion is different from other places, as long as they have some identities, they can buy their military exploits with some money, and in Lu Beiyan's team, the only way to get ahead is to pile yourself up with their combat exploits, so that Lu Beiyan will be aware of your existence, and if you want to stand out in the Black Dragon Legion, it will not work without real materials. These two feats alone can make Rah look at a young man differently.
"That's him." The Secretary of State is very sure.
"Well, this time the Black Dragon Legion went out, the most eye-catching thing is this kid, I have seen the video, his mecha combat is indeed very strong, and it is also very special, although it is still a little immature, over time, maybe it can reach the peak of the level. I didn't expect him to be so young, he was still a data master, both civil and military, and he was really terrifying. Your Excellency, don't blame me for finding fault, even if he is the one who pilots the silver mech, but his identity is unknown, and his personal information is blank, although I believe that what the Secretary of State says is true, and I believe in the loyalty of this young man, but I must do my duty. General Rahe was still stubborn, but everyone who was interested could tell that he was no longer suspicious of the young man, but was just performing his duties, and although the civilian experts present were invited anonymously, as soon as they appeared, all the information was no longer a secret, and Chen Fang was the only exception.
"It's natural, anyone whose identity and origin is unknown is a target that you need to focus on. General Lahe, what I appreciate most about you is that you are serious and meticulous, and the security of the imperial capital needs your seriousness. The young man's identity is not mysterious, in fact, he has a prominent family background, and his grandfather also held a high position in the Augar Empire. The Secretary of State said unhurriedly.
"Oh, may I ask his family? And his grandfather, since he held an important position in the Augar Empire, we should have known, or at least heard of it. General Lahe couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of family background can be called prominent? This is a matter of opinion, if you ask a commoner, any nobleman is prominent, but the family that the Secretary of State considers to be prominent is only a handful of the entire Augar Empire.
"Which of the most prominent families in the Augar Empire does General Rahe think is the most prominent? His grandfather is the current secretary of state of the Aojia Empire, although the old man does not dare to say what his merits are, he does not dare to slack off in the past few years of state affairs, and it is not too much to boast of being an important position. "The Secretary of State is very modest to reveal the mystery.
"Haha, after arguing for a long time, this outstanding young man turned out to be the third son of the Chen family, your grandson." The mystery dissipated, and the Führer laughed on the spot, noticing that Rahe's expression was very strange, and pretended to blame: "However, my Lord Secretary, what you did is not authentic, why don't you tell the truth, isn't this embarrassing to General Rahe?" ”
"The list of invitations issued this time is all formulated by Qiao Nan and the National Security Bureau, and the personnel are also anonymous invitations, the old man does not know the object of the invitation in advance, and he can't be sure whether his grandson has received a formal invitation, and before the truth investigation is clear, revealing his identity can only disturb the line of sight and affect Lahe's judgment." The Secretary of State is very serious about the truth.
"It turns out that the Secretary of State's approach is also out of public intentions, I don't want his identity to hinder the security work, General Rahe should not be suspicious, the Black Dragon Legion has not returned from the expedition, the situation in the country is also very serious, and now it is threatened by terrorists, and the Aoga Empire is in danger, I hope everyone can put aside their prejudices and cooperate sincerely." Jiang Qing's main achievements in the years of serving as the head of state are nothing more than two, carrying the black pot, and the mud, especially the kung fu of the mud, after three years of tempering, it seems to have reached the point of perfection.
"No, I have no guilt for the Secretary of State's approach, only respect. If the identity of this young man had been known in advance, he would have been the first to be ruled out of suspicion, but he was precisely the one who fished in troubled waters, and if we wanted to find out the uninvited guests, we would have to go around in a larger circle, and the Secretary of State did it very correctly. Rahe smiled calmly.
"Well, this is the style of the pillars of the empire, as long as we work together, the threat of terrorists is not a concern." The performance of the two made Jiang Qing a little moved, as the head of state, he often faced no more than ten people, and the problem is faced every day, as long as these people who accompany him can get rid of their previous suspicions, even if it is only temporary, in his opinion, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
In order to express the sincerity of the Auga Empire and respect for the folk scholars, the Führer personally appeared at the dinner, accompanied by the director of the National Security Bureau, and the appearance of heavyweights flattered the scholars from the private sector, and at the same time vaguely guessed the theme of this invitation.
Now that the director of national security and the head of state have appeared, it is likely that the invitation of the Oka Empire is related to the anti-terrorist operation.
Scholars' speculations were quickly confirmed, and the director of national security announced the anti-terrorist operation as the inviter, and the head of state was humorous, claiming to be the head of the anti-terrorism team, and his sense of humor made the news of the anti-terrorist operation seem less abrupt.
Anti-terrorist operations are dangerous work, and the Augar Empire certainly cannot expect scholars to fight terrorists, not to mention that more than seventy percent of these scholars are not citizens of the Augar Empire. But from another point of view, it is the duty of scholars with a conscience to resist terrorist activities, and the purpose of the Oga Empire's invitation of private experts is to act as staff and provide academic analysis and judgment.
Although some of the experts hesitated, they all stayed in the end.
Chen Fang, who has become the focus, can't keep a low profile, can no longer hide in a dark corner, listen to Andy's comments on his unsuspecting sister, and then extend to taboo topics, and now the situation has reversed, he has become the target of discussion, and from time to time someone comes to the door, the purpose is simple, to make friends.
The next day, Qiao Nan came to the front of the two with a sunny smile on his handsome face.
"Hello, my name is Qiao Nan, I regret that I didn't put you on the invitation list, the number of places given by the Security Bureau of the Aojia Empire is limited, and my communication is not extensive enough, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, I hope you can understand."
Qiao Nan never dreamed of Chen Fang's identity, so his apology was insincere, just to find a topic, his purpose was to pull Chen into the gang.
"I'm a member of the CCA, don't you know?" Chen Fang replied casually.
"Oh, this, hehe, it turns out that you are the brother of the CCA, the influence of the CCA is not what it used to be, the number of members is tens of millions, all over the many galaxies of the Federation, and most of them do not want to reveal their identities and like to join anonymously, so, it is impossible for me to know the identity of each member." Qiao Nan found a far-fetched reason for himself, and then left in a huff.
"I bet if you're a woman and you're not a little bit pretty, this birdman won't know anything about you." Andy gritted his teeth in a reminder.
"It's normal for him not to know, just like he said, most of the CCA members are anonymous and don't want to reveal their identities, how can he know the details of each member?" When Chen Fang explained, he couldn't help but think of his fiancée.
Although Qiao Nan is not a good bird, the woman who is played with by him is also responsible, if everyone can clean themselves, where can Qiao Nan take advantage of it?
Although the information provided by Andy is true, it is also extreme, and the things that those who are in high positions pursue are nothing more than power, fame, and women. Except for a few second ancestors who do not seek progress and enjoy the shadow of their ancestors, most of the superiors have an ambition, among the three, women are placed in the last position, and they would rather give up women for the sake of power and fame. Ambitious rulers like to open up territory and fight for greater power, rather than digging out to build a huge harem.
Judging from the rise speed of CCA, Qiao Nan is by no means an animal full of sperm and thinking with the lower half of his body, Andy's evaluation of him is inevitably suspected of pushing himself and others, but there is no doubt that Qiao Nan is indeed not an excellent scholar, but a utilitarian person, and his private life is indeed not very careful, what annoys Chen Fang is that his fiancée is in this guy's organization, and he doesn't know anything about Qiao Nan's personality.
