Chapter 38, One by One Must Be Solved (II)
On the supernatural front in China, there is a legendary figure, a man whose name cannot even be mentioned.
That is the director of the Paranormal Phenomenon Processing Office subordinate to the Central Committee, and Director Ma, the theoretical supreme commander of the entire paranormal front.
However, the reason why he is famous in the circle is not mainly because of his leadership position, but because of a certain quality that seems to be innate.
At this time, this famous big man came to Shanghai and appeared in front of Wang Qiu and others.
Although the above-mentioned attribute of "can't even mention the name" sounds a bit similar to Voldemort in "Harry Potter", according to Ms. Wang Meiling: "...... Just a Voldemort, how can our director be so cruel? That snake-faced guy is not the legendary auspicious Rui."
- According to the description of my mother Wang Meiling, the director of the supernatural phenomenon processing office is a well-known super auspicious person known as the reincarnation of the god of decay, and the whole person is composed of decay and luck in normal times, which is good in normal times, and the most harm is to the people around him, but once he performs any task, especially something related to a traveler in another world, the decay is really going to fall apart, and even God can't bear it
For example, once, there was a suspected monster infestation at an Antarctic scientific research station, and Director Ma personally led the team to deal with it, tossing back and forth for three months, and the so-called monster didn't even catch a single hair, and I don't know if it froze to death. The Antarctic research station has had 9 fires, 6 earthquakes, 2 power outages, 4 collective food poisoning, and countless unstoppable "auspicious" incidents, and it is said that it has been haunted many times, so scared that the relevant departments had to give up the research station, and now the place has become a famous Antarctic haunted house, which is one of the important attractions of polar tourism.
Later, on another occasion, Director Ma fought for the welfare of the unit and organized office staff to travel abroad at public expense to visit the scenery of Japan. As a result, the entire tour group boarded the flight back to China on the front foot, and the earthquake and tsunami broke out in Japan, followed by the Fukushima nuclear crisis, which attracted worldwide attention...... After that, the annual overseas travel of the supernatural phenomenon processing office became a fixed benefit of the central special subsidy. And Director Ma has become the weapon of the final battle in the eyes of some people, and from time to time he has to go around certain countries a few times - but unfortunately this trick is not always effective.
Next, Director Ma also fell into a wormhole with his colleagues during a mission and traveled to the end of the Qing Dynasty, which happened to the era when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing. It is fortunate that others can survive this situation, and Director Ma has just arrived there, and the city of Beijing has been caught in a burning fire, and then there is a ten-magnitude earthquake, a fierce plague, and a super hail bigger than a basin, plus terrifying rumors of rats eating people......
On the night of the next day, another meteorite hit Tanggu Harbor, and a super tsunami of unprecedented scale hit the entire Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, bringing the Far East Fleets of Britain, France, Germany, and Russia plus the Japanese Combined Fleet to the beach, smashing countless scraps of copper and iron......
In short, when he finally waited for the wormhole to open again and successfully returned, the two provinces of Zhili and Shandong of the Qing Dynasty had become purgatory, Beijing, Tianjin, Lushun, Dalian, Weihai, and Qingdao were all in ruins, and the Eight-Nation Alliance was almost a foreign beggar......
If it is said that the series of earth-shattering achievements of His Excellency the Director of the Supernatural Phenomenon Treatment Office made Wang Qiu breathtaking for a while. Then the next sentence added by her mother Wang Meiling made Wang Qiu can't help but greet the female relatives of the director.
“…… However, it is a pity that when Comrade Director successfully returned to the modern world, he accidentally brought back the smallpox virus, which should have been extinct for a long time, causing people all over the world to have to be re-vaccinated against cowpox, and China alone spent hundreds of billions of yuan on this......
“…… It is no wonder that three years ago, the whole city of Beijing was first under martial law, and then it was necessary to carry out a nationwide vaccinia vaccination...... At that time, the central government was still fooling us, it was a Middle Eastern terrorist, and the smallpox virus in the real room was stolen, it turned out that it was all made by him......"
Touching the scar on his arm, Wang Qiu couldn't help but mutter, "...... It's no wonder he doesn't want people to know his name - almost all of humanity has been miserable by him, and once it is revealed, God knows how many people who hate him and gnashed their teeth will curse him every day."
What's even worse is that in addition to intentionally harming opponents from all sides, many of their own people were also unfortunately injured by Director Ma's monstrous bad luck. For example, the colleague who traveled to the end of the Qing Dynasty with Director Ma just congratulated himself on being able to come back alive, not only experienced such an incredible adventure himself, but also did not miss any parts on his body...... Then he quickly became unlucky, and the bad luck was very Korean drama-style: he first found out that his lover was his long-lost sister, and then found out that he was suffering from leukemia, and that sister was pregnant with his child......
Hey, this is really heartbreaking, miserable, sad for those who hear it, and cry for those who see it
-- Director Ma, who knows his auspicious physique, in order to be able to get by on his conscience, also organized a donation for this unlucky guy.
In short, for such a living super plague god and humanoid causal law weapon, all the insiders in the circle are absolutely afraid of him and avoid him - so it is no wonder that Wang Qiu's mother was frightened when she learned that this auspicious lord arrived.
But no matter how auspicious and intimidating this god of decay is, he is still the theoretical supreme commander of the modern Chinese superpower front, the supreme person in charge of the supernatural phenomenon processing office under the State Council, and a high-ranking provincial and ministerial-level leader of the ministry.
- Of course, according to Ms. Wang Meiling, although Director Ma is the theoretical supreme leader of China's superpower front, he is actually only a supreme coordinator and has no control over many nominal subordinate units, but for low-level personnel and interns like Wang Meiling and Wang Qiu, Director Ma is still a first-class big man -- they may be "gods" and rulers who are admired by everyone in some other worlds, but they are nothing in this world. In short, with the arrival of Director Ma, who wore thick myopic glasses and was as fat as a panda, everyone had to respectfully obey the command of this humanoid auspicious man......

“…… Please take a look at this photo, this is a miniature spy submarine newly developed by our country."
In a hastily cleaned small conference room, Director Ma solemnly took out a photo of the submarine from his briefcase and released it to everyone with a slide projector, "...... It adopts a double-shell structure, the diameter of the shell is - meters, the length is 3 meters, the diving depth is more than 250 meters, the underwater speed is not less than 17 knots, it is equipped with 10 crew members, and the underwater autonomous cruising time is 2 days. When sailing on the surface at maximum speed B knots, the endurance can reach 186 nautical miles. It is designed to carry out reconnaissance, mine detection, mine-laying, using torpedoes and missiles to attack the enemy in shallow waters, and supporting frogman infiltration operations...... This is the latest military scientific and technological achievement of our country, which is still in the testing stage and has not yet been put into mass production and official service.
However, in order to reconnoiter the traces of the Vladivostok Far East Company's crimes, after discussion and approval by the departments concerned, the Navy a few days ago called in an experimental boat of this type to secretly bite the Vladivostok Far East Company's smuggling ship suspected of carrying arms in the waters outside the Japanese port of Yokohama......
However, what happened next was completely beyond the limits of everyone's imagination - a ball of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, and the ship of the Far Eastern Company and the miniature submarine of the Navy disappeared together after entering the light cluster, and the signal was interrupted. From the captain of the boat, Major He Chunping, and the captain of the Frogman Special Operations Group of the Marine Corps, Captain Liu Baoguo, the 10 Navy sailors, 10 frogman special combat team members, and Comrade Zhou Billy, the leading agent of the boat, were all missing...... This unprecedented case shocked the General Staff, the National Security Bureau, the Navy, and other relevant units, and even stabbed all the way to Zhongnanhai."
Speaking of this, Director Ma couldn't help but light a cigarette, and at the same time sighed with a complicated expression, but then changed his words, "...... However, from your latest satellite pictures of the Vladivostok area in the late Ming Dynasty, intelligence officers of the PLA General Staff found the missing miniature spy submarine, which was parked on the pier built by the group of traversers. From this, it is possible that the missing persons of our army have probably fallen into the hands of the other side. ”
He took out another satellite photo from his briefcase and drew a red circle on the shore of the Golden Horn in Vladivostok (when the Russians built Vladivostok, it seemed that they wanted to build it into the "Constantinople of the East", so they used a lot of Byzantine-style place names), and drew a red circle on a small black dot, "...... Therefore, according to the spirit of the instructions of the latest communication and feedback from the Military Commission, we should deal with the problem in Vladivostok first......"
“…… It is naturally our duty to rescue the missing naval comrades in Vladivostok, but what should we do with the public security comrades who were lost on Hainan Island? Wang Meiling frowned and asked, "Although we can bring Guo Yi back now, the government workers who were involved in the Hainan Island Crossing Group are not the only ones who were involved in the pursuit of the Hainan Island Crossing Group, and the remaining few people are still on Hainan Island in that time and space."
“…… The situation of the two is completely different, and the situation on the side of Comrade Wang Meiling in Vladivostok is obviously much more dangerous."
After listening to Wang Meiling's questioning, Director Ma frowned and said, "...... Didn't you send a report that also wrote it? The comrades represented by Guo Yi who followed the Hainan Island crossing group to fall into the late Ming Dynasty have integrated into the crossing group after recognizing the reality, and have been recognized by those people, and even held real power positions in their so-called 'senate', at least they were regarded as their own by other travelers. In addition, judging from various appearances, although the crossing group on Hainan Island has the ambition to conquer the world, there is no obvious evil and immoral tendency such as tyranny, killing, and cannibalism, and the collective will appears to be more civilized, rational and gentle. Even if we consider the most pessimistic situation, at least until the matter of our arrival in that time and space is revealed, those comrades who stay on Hainan Island should not be in any danger to their lives for the time being.
However, the situation in Vladivostok is completely different, and we are still almost ignorant of the plans, concepts and goals of the Far Eastern Company, which is a crossing group. It is difficult to say whether they are a group of fanatical believers who have been bewitched by the doomsday cult, or the kind of anti-establishment traitors who are mad and hate the government, or the fanatical groups that have been brainwashed by the hostile forces of the West and are bent on turning China into a white colony, just like the gang in Hong Kong.
Even if the Vladivostok Far East Company did not have the heinous anti-civilization and evil nature, but was only an adventurous group and pioneer with similar goals to the Lingao Group on Hainan Island, it may have been a radical organization like the Japanese Red Army in the last century, which was keen on internal rectification and cannibalism. In such a situation where information is scarce and difficult to judge, every day our comrades fall into their hands is in danger. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of those captured comrades and save their lives as much as possible, what is wrong with the central side asking us to deal with the issue of Vladivostok first? ”
Speaking of this, Director Ma coughed again and continued to add earnestly, "...... I know that thousands of people have crossed over to the other world at once, life and death are unknown, and the pressure of all aspects of the country is spread on your shoulders, and your current situation can be said to be a thousand confusion and chaos, and you simply don't know where to start. But no matter how many difficulties and how complicated the situation is, we have to solve them one by one.
I know that with your current progress and position, it will definitely be more convenient to deal with the issue of Hainan Island first, and you will be able to make contact with several other crossing groups along the way. But since the central government has clearly instructed us to go to Vladivostok first, we have to obey the order......"
-- Well-founded, reasonable, and irrefutable......
Wang Qiu and the others were all speechless by Director Ma for a while, so they had to bow their heads and listen to the order, preparing to set off for Vladivostok at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
But even so, there is still a rather headache to be solved: how to get from Guangzhou in the late Ming Dynasty to Vladivostok?
You must know that the location where Wang Qiu and others entered the other world through guò "The Book of Traveling" followed the "anchor coordinates" of Liu Chaozuo, a survivor of infinite space, and this guy is now sitting in the Ziming Building on Huifu Street in Guangzhou. If Wang Qiu and the others wanted to reconnoiter the "enemy situation" in Vladivostok at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they would have to rush over with Liu Chaozuo. And how many miles is the journey from Guangzhou to Vladivostok? It is almost equivalent to spanning the entire territory of modern China, not to mention gas stations on the way, and there may not even be a safe place to stop. At the moment, the range of any helicopter is simply not enough. If you use fixed-wing aircraft, there is no suitable airport near Guangzhou in the late Ming Dynasty to take off, and there is no way to land in Vladivostok......
What the? How about taking off from the Pearl River estuary in a large seaplane and landing in the waters of the Sea of Japan outside the port of Vladivostok? Hey, not to mention whether the noise caused by this method is too loud and whether it will cause any trouble. It's the New Year at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the port of Vladivostok is full of large patches of ice floe, do you want the seaplane to crash into scrap metal on the hard ice?
As for flying slowly with the Bamboo Dragonfly, it is even more undesirable - because the speed of the Bamboo Dragonfly is not fast, and it takes at least several days to fly from Guangzhou to Vladivostok, which is not much faster than a modern steamship...... But Guo Yi in Guangzhou can't hide it for so long, and theoretically can reach the destination in an instant, because the information of the 17th century has not been entered, and the number of terrain does not match, so it cannot be used for the time being.
After thinking about it, Wang Qiu, who was helpless, had to bite the bullet and open his mind, and decided not to take the usual path from now on and take a half-day trip to space at public expense:
“…… Mom, I really can't think of any other way, you better move the [Space Lifeboat] out and let's go to Vladivostok in a satellite orbit."
