Chapter 149: Blake's Secret (Part II)
The first time he actually discovered the existence of the UED was after the accidental death of the former Deputy Speaker, he learned from several of his colleagues.
Until then, he had been very active in following his mentor and had been able to accomplish most of the tasks assigned to him by the organization, for which he was appreciated.
"It's a very common routine, so he found out that something was wrong and was ready to run away?" The customer, who was listening and recording, looked up and asked.
On the day of the unexpected death of the deputy speaker, Heibai urgently convened a meeting of core members, including Blake, who had just been promoted because of his good behavior. At this time, although he still needs the guidance of a mentor because of his short time in the association, in fact, he has been able to complete most of the tasks independently, and his mentor also praises him.
At the meeting, Hei Bai demanded that the next deputy speaker must appoint his own people. According to the chairman of the meeting, Heibai is currently secretly carrying out a big plan, and if the former vice chairman dies unexpectedly, if he can't arrange for Heibai's people to pick him up as soon as possible, there is a high risk that there will be big problems.
Of course, it is impossible for the vice chairperson to be decided immediately, and it will take time to discuss who the candidate will be. This was followed by a heated debate. What Blake didn't expect was that Mentor Black chose to nominate him as one of the candidates. He had been completely unprepared beforehand, and he had intended to stay in Parliament for 8-10 years to become a senior member of parliament, as is traditional, and then mix into the management committee when the Conservatives were in power, which is equivalent to mixed seniority. After one or two terms of government on the management committee, work with government officials and local governments to make a few achievements to add to your resume, and then think about the deputy speaker and the speaker.
Although the qualifications and prestige of the Black Hundred Mentor themselves seem to be not low, it is clear that the people he has nominated have been in the organization for too short a time, and they do not have much political background in the council, so the debate continues.
During a break in the meeting, when Blake went to the bathroom, he overheard the small talk of several colleagues from the organization next door who had come to participate in the pit. They were discussing the unexpected death of the Deputy Speaker and the rush of the organization to gather them to choose the next Deputy Speaker, and one of them mentioned the UED.
“…… Anyone is possible, right? Let's not talk about the Empire, the guys in the Kemorian Consortium are still unhappy with us, and the Alien Worm may also be dissatisfied with our secret assistance to the Empire to deal with them, Star Spirit...... There is no precedent for the technology we grabbed to be returned to its original owner! ”
"I actually have a different idea......"
"Huh? What's the idea? ”
"You see, the above is now in a hurry to find someone to replace, which means that this time the old guy with bad legs and feet must have been killed by someone else...... But I don't think there's any rush at all, maybe everyone has made up their minds, otherwise according to their habits, they won't tolerate us arguing like a parliamentary meeting......"
"Wait, you mean...... This is the hand of our own people? ”
"To be precise...... I think it should have been done by someone from the council...... Hush! Don't talk nonsense! ”
Judging from his memory alone, it was difficult to determine whether this was a hole dug for him. But in any case, Blake, who was eavesdropping on the side, heard every word clearly. It's hard not to think about it. However, this was not enough to prove that UED was connected to Black Hundred, and it was only the first time he learned about the Council's possible existence in the sector.
After the intermission, the debate over the successor of the deputy speaker continued. However, I don't know what kind of method Mentor Heibai used, and there were a lot more people who supported him than in the first half, and he became one of the main candidates.
Yang Yi was confused, but his client's face changed and changed. He himself had hardly been involved in or paid attention to the Yumoyan political arena before, so he naturally only listened to the story, but his client was a real Yumoyan civil servant, and combined the story described by A1 with the ups and downs of the political arena that year, he naturally clarified a lot of things, and he also felt the severity of the situation more and more.
The meeting ended unhappily due to a stalemate among several candidates. His mentor stopped Blake after the meeting and told him that he was going to take Blake to meet a few people in the next few days. When Blake asked his mentor why he had gone to great lengths to help him, his mentor just sighed softly.
"For the sake of ideals, Mr. Black."
"At that time, he didn't understand what his mentor meant at all, until he followed his mentor to meet the first person they wanted to meet, the deputy director of the Yumoyan Political Security Division......"
"Wait a minute, what did you say? Schultz? He's also a Black Hundred? Hearing the official position, she immediately interrupted A1's words and asked in a tone of disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible......"
"Not only that, ma'am, but he's also a lurking agent at UED." A1 didn't give her face at all, "According to Blake's recollection, this Admiral Schultz was a high-ranking agent who was extremely loyal to the UED, and was also one of the core leaders of Black Hundred, even higher than the Black Hundred Mentor. ”
The woman didn't refute again, but was obviously shocked, still a little stunned.
"Go on, A1."
They were obviously looking for support, but during this time, the Black Hundred Mentors also revealed the identities of these high-level leaders to him one by one. According to the mentor's words, "If you become the deputy speaker, you will inevitably enter the core leadership, and you must not only know these people, but also know their identities as much as possible...... And all possible information. ”
It was also during this time that he met many high-level leaders of the Black Hundred. Each of them is a top executive of Yumoyan: a top government executive, a business executive...... There are no high-ranking military officers. When Black asked about this, Mentor Black Bai could only helplessly tell him that since Yumoyan was completely separated from the military and government, Black Bai was not yet able to get military support - to put it bluntly, he couldn't infiltrate.
And these high-level leaders all have a common identity, that is, they are all loyal to the Black Hundred and loyal to the UED.
"So, now you know why Yumoyan's Shadow Guards and government security vetting agencies weren't aware of this, right?" A1 looked at the client, who was probably trying to taunt her, but the lady seemed to be very calm now...... Or is it the feeling of downtime after the collapse of that worldview?
"Ahem...... So, has the entire Yumoyan hierarchy been infiltrated by UED? Yang Yi hurriedly took over the conversation to avoid embarrassment, "Then why ......?"
"Not really, Commander. In fact, only a handful of people in the entire Yumayan hierarchy were Yumayan's agents. A1 shook his head and denied his speculation, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be someone like Ms. Client who has the ability to operate Yumayan politics." In fact, Mr. Black was in a similar situation when he first learned about this, and his Black Hundred Mentor just watched all this coldly, allowing him to slowly adjust himself. ”
"And when he recovered, he was told by his mentor that he had been appointed as the successor to the vice-speaker who had died unexpectedly."
