Chapter 560: Edge! 【Medium】
When Li Tomb and his party returned to the small building of the Secret Service Department, Hathaway had just heard the news that Baron Yang Cheng was leading a group of people to go to Li Tomb to appeal, she hurriedly contacted Viscount Zhang Xun first, and was about to notify Li Tomb in a panic, but as soon as she waited for Viscount Zhang Xun in front of the gate of the Secret Service Department, she saw the car of Li Tomb and others coming back.
Zhang Xun actually didn't think too much about it, although Li Tomb's rectification of the secret service department this time did not damage his interests, nearly half of the personnel of the special service department were dismissed, many of them were once his subordinates, and his relationship with Yang Cheng was okay.
Therefore, Zhang Xun is actually a little dissatisfied with the rectification of Li Tomb, and he is also happy to see Yang Cheng go to blow up Li Tomb, and the reason why he rushed over after receiving Hathaway's news is actually just because he doesn't want to make the situation too ugly.
Before coming, he also considered how to play the round game later, but his deliberations did not wait for the opportunity to use it at all, and Li Tomb and they returned.
Seeing Li Tomb walking down from the car, Hathaway breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Li Tomb and they came back early, so she happened to miss it with Yang Cheng and the others, and stepped forward with a stumbling streak, and was about to report the situation to Li Tomb, when she saw a few more people coming down from Li Tomb's car.
Zhang Xun has better eyesight than Hathaway, although he doesn't know Chen Yizhou and the others who got off the Li tomb car, but as a nobleman, he can also feel that those people are also nobles who are not inferior to him, and he sighed in his heart, and had a bad premonition, and then he saw Lin Youde and Sikong Ming getting off the other car with a smile, and greeted Li Tomb quite affectionately.
Zhang Xun couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, even if he didn't know Lin Youde, he also knew Sikong Ming, and saw Li Tomb and Lin Youde and Sikong Ming standing together at this moment. When I talked indifferently, I didn't feel a little bitter in my heart.
As for Yang Cheng's matter, he knew that he didn't need to ask anymore, when Li Tomb stood with so many nobles, including Sikong Ming, the governor of the Sun, Moon and Star, Yang Cheng's little things. I'm afraid it's not worth mentioning at all, maybe now Yang Cheng is preparing to find someone to contact and re-explore the way of Li's tomb.
The thought flashed in his heart, Zhang Xun couldn't help but look down at the watch in his hand, and sure enough, there were several missed communications marked with Yang Cheng, although there were only a few words left in the message, but Zhang Xun also seemed to see Yang Cheng a little scared at the moment.
"Section Chief."
Hathaway also recognized Sikong Ming, the big man in charge of the sun, moon and stars, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and the words that came to his mouth were immediately swallowed back. With a reserved smile on his face, "I've seen a few adults." ”
"Hmm. Hathaway, you've come just in time. Inform Zhang Xun and ask him to arrange the logistics of several Your Excellencies. ”
Li Tomb nodded at Hathaway, gave an order, and walked into the door of the Secret Service Department first.
Zhang Xun was actually not far away, but when he heard Li Tomb speak, he didn't know how. But he was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly hid under the banyan tree in the courtyard. Prick up your ears and eavesdrop.
"Haha, I didn't know that the working environment of the Secret Service Department was so difficult, but I was wronged by Your Excellency. Well, I have a building on the high street that has just been built and is ready to be rented. Just give it to Your Excellency, and it will be more convenient for the staff of the Secret Service Section to travel in the future. ”
Chatted with Li Tomb for a while. Sikong Ming is really a little optimistic about the secret service department led by Li Tomb, not to mention that even if Li Tomb is talking big about empty words, Sikong Ming has not forgotten Lin Youde and they will also join the secret service department, even if they don't look at Li Tomb's face, they have to look at Lin Youde's face. What's more, it's just a building, it's just a favor.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, then."
Li Tomb thought about it, but did not refuse, if the secret service department is to grow, these necessary office facilities must still be available, not to mention that for them and nobles, a building is indeed nothing.
I invited Sikong Ming to sit in the agent department, drank a cup of tea, and several people chatted whimsically, and talked about the current situation, and Si Kong Ming chose to leave.
After sending away Sikong Ming, Li Tomb, Lin Youde, and Chen Yizhou, who had completely made up his mind to join the secret service department, the three of them came to the conference room.
Hathaway hurriedly brought the tea and gently brought it to the door, Li Tomb seemed to remember, "That's right." Call Zhang Xun in as well. ”
Hathaway nodded, closed the door, and walked to the elevator, where she saw Zhang Xun standing there a little nervously, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Hathaway was amused in her heart, but her face was not revealed, knowing that what happened today must have made Zhang Xun a little tormented, not to mention that she had also received the news, knowing that Li Tomb had already seen Yang Cheng and others, poor Yang Cheng and those people were menacing when they went, but when they heard that they really saw the section chief, they didn't dare to let go of a fart, so they walked away.
Although Hathaway is not the kind of simple woman who does not care about the world, it is also the first time that she really feels the strict hierarchy in the aristocratic world.
I think before Li Tomb came, Yang Cheng and Zhang Xun were so invincible, but now?
Hathaway sighed slightly in her heart, with a reserved smile, and said to Zhang Xun: "Lord Viscount, you came just in time. The section chief lets you in for a meeting. ”
"yes, I see."
Zhang Xun had a straight face, not ready to show timidity in front of an ordinary person like Hathaway, nodded quite majestically, got out of the elevator, walked a few steps, suddenly turned his head, and pretended not to care: "Secretary Hathaway has just changed from field to internal service, and there is no apartment in Sun Moon Star, right?" ”
Hathaway nodded, vaguely guessing what Zhang Xun wanted to say.
"Your Excellency the Section Chief has a lot of opportunities, and you have worked hard as the secretary of Your Excellency the Section Chief. In this way, in order to facilitate your help to deal with confidential matters for Your Excellency the Section Chief, I have an apartment on Hualan Street, and you can live there temporarily. In addition, I have already arranged your car. You wait and go to Xiao Zhang to get the key...... Okay, I'll go to the meeting first, and we'll talk when I have time. ”
Hathaway watched Zhang Xun say words of bribing her in a dignified tone, and was stunned, but when Zhang Xun disappeared in front of him, she couldn't help but laugh.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door of the conference room, and Li Tomb did not raise his head, "Come in." ”
Zhang Xun immediately pushed open the door, trying to bring a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant on his face, "Hello section chief, I have met a few Your Excellencies." ”
"Well, Zhang Xun, here it is."
Only then did Li Tomb raise his head, glanced at Zhang Xun, nodded, and pointed to a random position, "Sit down first." This is Viscount Zhang of the Logistics Department, and he will be in charge of the entire logistics operation of the Secret Service Section in the future. As for these, Count Lin Youde will be the deputy chief of the Secret Service Section and the head of the field mission. ”
"In addition, this is Viscount Chen Yizhou, Viscount Prince De and Baron Tiber, they will each form an action team and be directly responsible for the field tasks of the Special Operations Section in the future. Basically, that's the structure of our Secret Service Section for the time being. ”
Li Tomb introduced a few people before continuing: "The current situation in the universe, there may be some people here who don't know much about it, so I'll talk about it again. It's been almost half a month since the rebellion in the North of the Underworld, and I've received news that the ASEAN Parliament will declare war on the West within three months......"
Li Tomb just started, Zhang Xun couldn't help but tremble in his heart, stood up with a swish, and said in a lost voice: "ASEAN wants to declare war on the Western Covenant?" How can it be? ”
After Zhang Xun screamed out, he found that everyone else was looking at him with a strange gaze, Zhang Xun was suddenly a little embarrassed, but his heart was pounding, and he vaguely knew why he would suddenly transfer an earl to serve as the head of the secret service department.
"Yes, it's no secret."
Li Tomb nodded, the Northern Rebellion was still kept in the dark for many low-ranking nobles, but with the war machine in ASEAN being activated, they would know about it sooner or later.
"However, I have received another piece of information that the Western Treaty is likely to start before ASEAN declares war. That is, the war is likely to be advanced, and it may be half a month at the earliest. ”
If the previous news, except for Zhang Xun, a down-and-out nobleman with no foundation, everyone else had more or less received the news, then what Li Tomb said now shocked everyone.
"Your Excellency, is this news accurate?"
Lin Youde stood up suddenly, his expression became solemn, compared to the network in ASEAN, Lin Youde is stronger than Li Tomb, he even knows that the ASEAN Parliament has basically set the time for a full-scale declaration of war on the West, just three months later, the day before the anniversary of the victory in World War II.
But so far, there is no news that the West is likely to start a war in advance, let alone the possibility of a war breaking out in half a month at the earliest, if this news is true, it is absolutely very bad news for ASEAN.
Not to mention anything else, just look at the fact that almost half a month has passed since the Northern Rebellion, and nobles like Zhang Xun still don't know that this incident has happened, you can see how much ASEAN is procrastinating in preparing for war.
ASEAN cannot be blamed for this, the ASEAN system is too bloated, and the huge ASEAN parliament is enough to delay any proposal for a long time, not to mention that even if the ASEAN parliamentary proposal passes, these proposals will go to the following ASEAN countries, and they will have to vote on democracy again.
"Well, this news shouldn't be too much of a problem."
Li Tomb said lightly, this is simply the time when the war broke out in his memory, even if there is a slight deviation, it will not be bad, not to mention that Li Tomb believes that the ASEAN Parliament must also know that the Western Covenant will not honestly wait for ASEAN to declare war, and will definitely act in advance, but they may not expect that the Western Covenant will advance the war so much.
"I have already reported this news to the ASEAN Parliament. And the frontal battlefield affairs, it is not our turn to worry about it, what I want to say is the next development of our special agent department. ”
Li Tomb skipped this topic and lightly clicked on the table, "Because of the division of power in our secret service section, we now have the special projects built by all the nobles in the entire ASEAN, as well as the special projects built by most of the nobles in the Western Covenant in the last three hundred years. ”
Speaking of this, Li Tomb stopped, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So, what did you think of?" (To be continued......)
