Chapter 0025 - Late Night Meeting
The night is like ink, the huge neon lights and electronic billboards render the capital into colorful glass, countless traffic flows through it, and form a flowing light belt, prosperous, dreamy, restless, this is the night of the capital. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The western suburbs are the opposite of other urban areas, most of them are government offices, every night after eight o'clock, the surrounding buildings are completely immersed in the night, only to see the pale white street lamps standing on both sides of the road, occasionally a car passing by, the whining wind, even more lonely here.
But tonight is slightly different, in a small alley, there are all kinds of vehicles constantly driving in, if you look closely at the license plate at the rear, you will find that these vehicles belong to the government and the military high-level, which is a very unusual thing for an inconspicuous public institution.
On the third floor of the office building of this "inconspicuous institution", a 300-square-meter conference room was brightly lit, and a table more than 10 meters long was placed in the middle, and on both sides sat all kinds of strange costumes, young and old, including an old lady wearing a purple moire placket, a middle-aged man wearing soft armor and a hair tied on his head, and even a monk wearing a gray monk's robe.
In addition, in fact, there are still a lot of men and women wearing modern clothes, if this kind of scene is seen by uninformed people, they will think that the crew of a hodgepodge of history is in a meeting, they are all talking to each other in a low voice, and the expressions on their faces are very solemn, which makes people feel like the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
At the head of the long table sat three men, who were supposed to be the leaders of these people, and on the far left was a middle-aged man with good manners, wearing glasses, and a gray-skinned notebook was placed on the table in front of him, and a pen was pressed on it.
On the right is an old man in a green military uniform, he is nearly sixty years old, but his sitting posture is very straight, his eyes are bright, and the two gold stars and an ear of wheat on his shoulders show that this person is a lieutenant general.
In the middle of the table was a man in a white shirt, about fifty years of age, his temples had turned white, and there was a long scar on his battered cheek that ran from the left cheekbone to the corner of his mouth, making him look even more domineering.
"Ahem!"
After he coughed twice, the noisy conference room gradually fell silent, and the man in the white shirt continued,
"Now that everyone is here, today's meeting will begin now!"
"First of all, the comrades of the Historical Information Analysis Section will explain to you the specific situation of the task not long ago, and if you have any questions, you can raise them immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the conference room dimmed a little, and a huge LCD monitor on the opposite side of the long table turned on.
At the same time, a beautiful woman in her twenties also walked up to the front desk, and she smiled at everyone in the conference room and said,
"Hello leaders and colleagues, I am Xu Jing, the confidential secretary of the Historical Information Analysis Section, and now I will introduce the situation of the two missions, numbered 268346 and 269363."
As she spoke, she clicked a few times on the LCD screen with the laser pointer in her hand, and the head of a foreign man immediately appeared in it.
"A month ago, our analysis department found that there was an anomaly in the history of 1855, and this pastor named Luo Xiaoquan arrived in Tianjing, the capital of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, and historically, this missionary should have arrived here in 1860."
"Our analysis department immediately began to verify the key events of that time period, and found that there was not much difference from history, at that time in Tianjing City and Suzhou and Hangzhou areas, there were a total of three registered traversers, and after verification, these three people did not have abnormal behavior, so we judged that it may be a simple case of traversal, caused by historical events."
"After assessing the social situation in Tianjing City at that time, we assigned this mission to C-level, and a special service officer from the Fourth Office of the Correction Department took over this task."
At this moment, the middle-aged man with glasses sitting on the top put down the pen he was taking notes, raised his head and asked,
"Please allow me to interrupt, as far as I know, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been fighting with the Qing army on the periphery since the capital of Nanjing, and in the case of not knowing who the traverser is, is it appropriate for you to position this mission as C-level?"
Xu Jing nodded, this is a deputy director of the General Office of the ******, who is responsible for supervising the General Administration of Anti-Crossing, and the questions he asks will definitely be recorded and reported to the bosses, so they must be answered seriously.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Jing replied,
"What you said is right, but before the Tianjing Incident, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was still very strong, and it had been on the offensive, and they broke through the Jiangnan camp of the Qing army in June 1856 and relieved the siege of Tianjing, so at that time, the city was actually relatively stable.
And Luo Xiaoquan is just a Catholic missionary, not dangerous in itself, he enters Tianjing City, and will not bring any changes to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the task content at that time is only to investigate why Luo Xiaoquan went to Tianjing City, and there is no need for special services to intervene immediately, so the above task is set as C-level, which is no problem at all. ”
The tasks of the General Anti-Crossing Bureau are divided into three levels of ABC, and according to the different levels of danger and complexity, they are subdivided into three levels, such as A-level, which is divided into three sub-levels: A+, A and A-.
A-class missions are the most dangerous, in this level of mission, most of the time-travelers already have their own bases, and the technology has long surpassed the level of their contemporaries, and their desire to transform the time and space they are in is very strong, and persuasion alone cannot correct the history of the time.
There was once a very typical case, a modern person accidentally got a time travel device, he actually gathered more than 500 people to travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and established an industrial base in Lingao, Hainan, their behavior not only greatly affected the course of history, and a large number of people disappeared, but also affected the modern time and space.
In the end, the General Anti-Crossing Bureau, in conjunction with the General Staff of the Army, sent a special combat force to escort those people back to their own time and space.
The difficulty of B-level is slightly inferior to A-level, and this kind of task may be in a very dangerous time and space, such as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the late Tang and Song dynasties, and other times of war and chaos, or the identity of the traveler is relatively special, such as soldiers, politicians, business executives, and even killers and criminals before the crossing, these people are often ruthless in their lives, and they are even more unscrupulous when they travel to ancient times.
Compared to the A-level, these traversers are often not yet in the climate, and they can be easily solved by using a team of three to five people.
The lowest level of C-level, compared to the upper two levels, the danger is not very high, most of those who travel through are ordinary people, back to ancient times is also the use of modern knowledge, eating, drinking and merrymaking, if there is no change in history, the General Administration will not take the initiative to interfere, but some people cross over to the well-known people, even if they have no will, they will still change history to a certain extent.
At this time, the General Administration will send special services to persuade and educate, and if it really doesn't work, use some small means, and these people will often obediently comply.
In addition, there is also a non-hierarchical task, such as informing a traverser what to do and what not to do, this kind of task is commonly known as D-level within the General Administration, but in fact there is no such level.
Because the impact on history is often not large, correction or non-correction can be done, so most of these tasks are handed over to special service practitioners who have just joined the unit, or to some experienced personnel, who are completed by the way when dealing with other tasks.
