Bourne has a dedicated room at the reception desk. The room wasn't too big, but the location was excellent - right in the middle of the room at the reception desk. The four walls that make up the room are all made of large blocks of blown glass, and anyone who tries to peek in close is the first to be noticed.

After taking the envelope and confirming that the envelope itself was intact and that the fire paint was intact, Bourne took the envelope and walked into the room to begin opening it.

【Urgent Information】

The first thing that catches your eye is a line of large red letters, followed by the information of the sending department and the extracted keywords.

[Imperial Heraldic Management Office, Second Level Early Warning of the Internal Counterintelligence Department, Newsar, Speaker of the House of Commons, Mutiny]

Byrne's pupils contracted instantly.

[Intelligence from the Department of Counterintelligence: Newsar Lafayette, there are signs of contact with allies.] Credibility of intelligencea. 】

[Commander of the Naval Garrison of Newsar, there are signs of contact with the Alliance.] Intelligence credibility B+. 】

[The Speaker of the House of Commons of Newsal has signs of contact with the Alliance, and the credibility of the intelligence is B+. 】

[The above three people are extremely likely to defect, and you are required to quickly investigate the situation and take decisive measures to intervene. 】

Byrne looked at the letter for a long time, then folded it up and stuffed it into the deepest pocket of his clothes.

"Letter to Orin." Byrne walked up to the head of the sub-division of the receiving and sending office, and ordered with a stern face, "Ask the General Bureau to explain the intelligence source and credibility analysis this time." ”

The Sub-Chief nodded, then began to draft the letter with his head down. It is actually very taboo for a subordinate to ask a higher authority to explain the order. It's just that Byrne decided to do so, but the head of the branch couldn't follow suit.

After working in the place of the receiving office for a long time, the director of the branch realized a life principle - never be curious if you shouldn't be curious, and don't know what you shouldn't know.

As quickly as possible, the content of the letter was prepared in the capacity of Bourne, and the sub-division chief turned around and prepared to ask the director to look at the specific letter first. As a result, when he turned around, he pounced.

Byrne had already left the receiver.

In the archives of the Newsal Heraldic Office, the lights are bright.

Byrne stood alone in the area marked "Top Secret" class, flipping through the materials with a gloomy face.

It contains all the noble information that the Newsar Heraldic Administration has acquired over the past thirty years. This information is divided according to the rank of the nobility - the former Duke of Saar and the current Marquis de Lafayette are all here.

Before Androni became Speaker of the House of Commons, her information was kept in a "highly classified" area, like other middle-level nobles. Now, she and her husband enjoy the same treatment.

The information collected on a daily basis is fragmentary, and it is difficult to say that it has any concrete value. It is often the facts that professional analysts have pieced together with the help of these fragments that can make intelligence valuable.

But this time, Byrne didn't look at the intelligence results that the bureau's analysts racked their brains to analyze. He quickly flipped through all the information he had about Androni for the last five years.

Then the more I looked, the deeper the frown became.

The bureau's analysts have a lot of "information beyond intelligence." They have a better sense of the social climate and environment in Newsal, and they also know Androni better than the "experts" in Olin.

The same piece of information will be interpreted and pieced together by different people. And this information of Androni ...... Content that is true and easily interpreted as something of other tendencies.

For example, these bills of hers.

With Byrne's ability, it is not difficult to see that almost every article of Androny's bill is aimed at the mining complex. She suppressed the mining complex by various means, pushing this behemoth into the quagmire step by step.

As a rough estimate, if Androni's bill were to go into force in its entirety, the mining syndicate's mining costs in Newsal would rise by at least 120 percent. And their mining activities will be more strictly restricted, audited and evaluated.

It's dangerous.

The Mining Complex was one of the main sources of motivation for the Empire to maintain its war against the Alliance, and His Majesty's treasury accounted for more than half of the military expenditure of the Royal Guard Navy. Restricting the mining complex would mean an offense to His Majesty the Emperor – a very dangerous political decision.

The same piece of data intelligence can be interpreted in countless ways in the eyes of different people. In the eyes of intelligence analysts at Newsal's heraldic office, the many bills in the House of Commons certainly seem a bit presumptuous. But judging by the rhetoric they have gathered from other sources to explain her legislation, the Speaker of the House of Commons has no ill will, and she can even be called the most loyal member of the entire House of Commons to the Empire.

But that doesn't affect Orin's judgment – their entry point is very clear, the Marquis de Lafayette has a problem.

The Marquis de Lafayette family relied on the Imperial Forestry Department to rise to power. One hundred and seventy-nine years ago, the first mate on the exploration ship that discovered Newsar was "invested" by the Imperial Forestry Department and became the ancestor of the Lafayette family. After the discovery of Newsar, the Imperial Forestry Department quickly began to "transform" the colony star. Hundreds of plants adapted to the climate of Newsar have been planted on the planet and have revolutionized the planet's ecology.

But Lafayette's attitude towards the Imperial Forestry Department has changed dramatically in the last decade.

Unlike his fathers, he did not fully approve of and implement the Imperial Forestry Department's planting transformation plan, and even stopped the seaweed sprinkling plan issued by the Imperial Forestry Department several times.

The internal counterintelligence department of the Orin Heraldic Administration believes that Lafayette has shown a clear tendency to deviate from the Forestry Department. But at the same time, he was in a state of hostility with the Duke of Saarland, which was supported by the mining complex. Thanks to his efforts, the Duke of Thrall was eventually stripped of his title, and Newsar became the only one of the Empire's forty-two colonial stars without a duke.

According to the monitoring of the counterintelligence department, after the Marquis of Lafayette successfully killed the Duke of Saar, the entire colonial system of the empire, those marquis and counts who had been suppressed for hundreds of years began to move.

In a year, the counterintelligence department received more than 400 "clues" from these high-ranking nobles, and all 41 dukes were accused of a series of serious crimes such as "trespassing", "rebellion" and "treason".

And the dukes reacted quickly. Twenty-six marquis were assassinated by unknown militants on forty-one colonies, and eleven counts were sentenced to death by hanging for various reasons.

The overthrow of the Duke of Saar by Marquis Lafayette has substantially caused chaos in imperial politics, especially in the imperial colonial governance system. And this confusion has a tendency to further expand.

What is even more suspicious is that Lafayette had close contact with the allies.

Ever since the Duke of Saar was stripped of his title and beheaded in the Royal Olympiad Square, Marquis Lafayette came into contact with the allied smugglers. At first, this didn't attract anyone's attention - it was not uncommon for high-ranking nobles to have enough contact with their allies. After all, those smugglers also need contact when selling goods to the nobles.

It's just that Lafayette's contacts with the allies were a little too frequent. Against the backdrop of the Confederates suddenly starting to ramp up their attacks on the Colonies, such frequent contacts are highly suspicious.

A high-ranking aristocrat who had a gap with his main political supporters, overthrew the duke, and caused chaos in the empire's colonial system, as well as close contact with his allies.

The suspicion of the Orin Heraldic Administration is based on the fact that it is really suspicious.

Byrne looked at the information in his hand, and even a little trance for a while.

Orin's suspicions are legitimate, and can even be said to be a very normal reaction. Their suspicions were so natural that they even made Byrne doubt the intelligence analysis capabilities of the Newsar Heraldic Administration.

"Director." Byrne stood still, looking at the intelligence in his hand and wondering if something was wrong with the intelligence analysis department, while on the other end, his adjutant stood in the doorway and reported, "Lord Dusand has arrived. ”

"Let him go to the office...... No, let him in. Byrne changed his arrangements and ordered, "You can all go—let Lord Dusand come to me." ”

After Dussaint suddenly received Bourne's "summons" today, the whole person was a little confused.

As Bourne's "downline", Dussand's work arrangement in the heraldic management office is actually very "casual". In a normal month, Dussand's own visit to the heraldic office is considered "done work". For four years, Byrne never took the initiative to summon Dussand. The two can communicate, basically Dusander takes the initiative to visit, or meets in the bureau to greet each other.

Dusson must have been a little panicked when he was suddenly "summoned" today, and the red-clothed postman who came to deliver the letter said very seriously, "report to Director Bourne immediately."

And the place of the meeting is even more unusual. It was the first time that Dussaint had been in the archives of the Heraldic Administration.

Usually, when doing analysis, he can only write down the information he needs, and then wait for the required content to appear in the pipeline in front of him.

This was the first time he had been in the heart of the intelligence service.

"Come in." Dussaint stood at the door of the archives and looked inside, and Bourne's voice sounded at the right time, "Come to me." ”

Dussart entered the archives, then cautiously walked down the passage to the distance from Birne, pausing and reminding, "There's a top secret area ahead, and I can't go in." ”

"I'll let you in." Byrne put down the folder in his hand and walked into the distance with his hands behind his back, and Dussaint had no choice but to lower his head and trot all the way with Bourne.

Byrne took Dussander to two couches and sat down. He was silent for a long time and then suddenly opened his mouth and said, "What do you think of the Marquis de Lafayette?" ”

Dusson was stunned by the question, and he replied cautiously, "Director, you should know that he is close to our family, right?" ”

"That's why I'm asking you what you think." Byrne looked at Dussand and asked, "Do you think he's loyal to the Empire?" ”
