Chapter 64
Of course, the north wind is not here to replace Wood so that he can step down and return home. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She did come to replace him, and that's right. However, the way to succeed is not to let him leave office and return to China, but to let him die.
These are obviously unspeakable, and only a fool would say such a thing. Beifeng had already prepared a set of rhetoric, and this was used.
"I'm a little sorry, but I'm here to work with you. "In recent years, your productivity has dropped significantly. The 'family' thought that you might be alone and inconvenient to do things alone, so I received special art training and came to be your assistant. ā
Wood was a little disappointed, but the doubts in his heart were gone.
Indeed, as the other party said, in recent years, the efficiency of his intelligence collection has indeed decreased a lot. On the one hand, this is because the work of wood carving takes up time and energy, and on the other hand, it is also because I am alone, which is inconvenient many times.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he acted quite cautiously, which made him not easy to expose, but also greatly limited his movements. In a whole day, he often has only one or two hours to spare, and the range of actions that can be done must be strict and reasonable, and there must be no performance beyond common sense.
As a spy, Wood's caution was necessary. In the past years, when the main task was only lurking, there was nothing wrong with him being so cautious. But now that the main plane continent is surging in turmoil, I am afraid that a little fierce "small friction" will break out between the Mystic Tower Federation and the Northwest Republic in the near future. In this case, prudence is to give way to efficiency.
Wood figured it out at once, and understood why the north wind had come to his aid.
So he couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Did you see the report I wrote before you left?"
Beifeng was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
She really didn't know about that.
"Well, I don't know if it was because I didn't catch up, or if my report was rejected......" Wood shook his head, and said regretfully, "I had suggested in my report that the Commonwealth should take a neutral stance in the small war that was about to break out, and even support the Northwest Republic. The specific reasons are written a lot and are very detailed...... I won't explain them all now. ā
"It's a pity! From your mission, it seems that the Federation has chosen to support those forces that are hostile to the Northwest Republic. To be honest, I don't think much of them at all!" Wood said bitterly, "those guys may be able to take advantage of us last time, but what can they do with the Northwest Republic beyond the mountains and rivers? This is just like the time when the Union was founded, the old traditional forces were actually very unfriendly to the Great Mentor, but the high-level military force could not help him, and the army could not cross the forests, swamps, deserts, and mountains to attack us, so that we were able to successfully establish the state back then." ā
"I think you're also familiar with history, don't you think the situation in the Northwest Republic is very similar to the Federation back then?"
North Wind didn't expect Wood to say such a thing, she thought about it carefully, and couldn't help frowning.
While Wood's position does seem a bit problematic, it's not a bad idea.
For the Federation, even if it wins this battle, it will not get much practical benefit, so why fight such a battle?
Beifeng is also a high-level spy, and although her qualifications are far inferior to Wood's, her quality and insight are not compromised at all - she is scheduled to take over the intelligence station of Glowstone City after Wood, and her abilities are certainly extraordinary. With her own insight, she can clearly speculate and estimate what Wood said, and the conclusions she has drawn are similar to those of Wood.
She was silent for a moment, sighed secretly, and said nothing.
It can be seen that Wood knows the Northwest Republic very well, and he also has a good understanding of the relationship between the Union and the Republic, as well as the diplomatic and military aspects of the country. If he can return to the Federation, he may be a good diplomat.
However, she could also see that Wood's attitude was indeed a little ambiguous and a little shaken.
If you put her in Wood's shoes and let her judge the matter, she wouldn't have so much praise for the Northwest Republic.
Some of the details in Wood's words do show the problem.
The high-ranking officials of the federal intelligence department judged Wood accurately, this former veteran spy does have the possibility of mutiny!
In this case, his task is clear.
Execute Wood and take his place!
Naturally, there was no hint of expression on her face, but rather thoughtful, as if she was carefully considering what Wood had said.
After a while, she sighed softly and said, "Your words are indeed very reasonable, but unfortunately, from the perspective of my mission, most of them have been rejected. ā
"yes!" Wood sighed deeply, "I knew as soon as I heard you say that you were here to be my assistant and not to replace me. If it is not for the purpose of strengthening intelligence work, why do we need any assistants? and if it is not for the sake of hostility, why do we need to strengthen intelligence work additionally?"
The north wind nodded, acknowledging his claim.
"So, what are you going to do?" asked Wood, "two people are certainly more convenient than one." But do you have a plan of action? I can help you refine it. ā
He added: "I'm not questioning your professionalism, it's just ...... After all, I have lived here for more than ten years, and I am more familiar with the actual situation here than you are. I know you've read a lot of information, but written information isn't a substitute for your own personal experience. So I'd like to get a look at your plan of action first and see if there's anything that needs to be added. ā
Beifeng didn't mean to hide it, and told his plan.
"To be a painter, to observe everywhere on the grounds of collecting style, and then to expand your network by helping young artists......" Wood pondered for a moment and shook his head, "It's a good idea, of course, but in the eyes of vigilant professional intelligence officers, it is a little too obvious. ā
"Then what do you say to do?" Beifeng was not angry that his plan was rejected, Wood was her senior, he was already a high-ranking spy of the Federation before she was born, and it was a matter of course that he had a better vision than her.
Wood thought for a moment and said, "I suggest you set up a painting class to teach children how to draw." ā
Beifeng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant.
With a group of children as a cover, the act of "collecting wind" was disguised under the guise of collective activities. And through these children, you can also build a network of contacts more quickly - of course, in this way, your network may be biased towards the middle society, but as a spy whose main business is to sleep, it is more difficult to expose your identity by concentrating your activities in the middle society.
After all...... There are so many masters of high society that all sorts of wonderful abilities can appear. In contrast, the middle class is much safer.
As for intelligence, as long as you work hard to collect it, carefully screen and compare, you can collect a lot of information even if you open a small restaurant in a poor neighborhood, let alone the middle class.
As an excellent spy, Beifeng is absolutely sure that he can get enough valuable information through communication with the students' parents!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh, and also paid three more points of respect to Wood, and seven points of regret.
How could such an excellent senior spy be suspected of mutiny!
What a pity!
But it's a pity, what needs to be done still has to be done.
Words of praise and thanks were on his lips, but in his heart, the north wind had already sentenced Wood to death.
Sui Xiong floated incognito in the air, watching the exchange between the two high-ranking spies, and couldn't help but smile.
Things are getting more and more interesting...... (To be continued.) )
