Chapter 381: Strengthening the Intelligence Sector
The Knights of Tiran will not be equipped until next year; Megatron's external components will also have to wait until next year.
Coupled with the development of the East Coast, the transportation connection projects in several important areas, and the continuous construction of new factories, Winterfell has a full schedule of plans, and a large number of projects are slowly walking the progress bar.
If it's a game, David can also click fast-forward or something, and just skip the waiting time.
Now he can only honestly wait for the project to gradually move forward, and at the same time contact more important people in the territory to deepen his feelings.
Like the Kryptonians, a few months after they came to Winterfell, their strength increased very quickly by shining on the sun.
David was originally a little worried that the rapid increase in strength would make the Kryptonian people led by General Zod have some ideas, so in the past few months, David was not in a hurry to arrange any work and duties for the Kryptonians led by General Zod, focusing on observing the reactions of these people.
By this time, he had already determined that the Kryptonians led by General Zod should not do anything.
Although General Zod found that his strength had become stronger, he still 'kept' his previous agreement and was willing to continue to abide by the agreement he had reached with David.
It's not that General Zod is virtuous, but that after careful observation and calculation, General Zod found that even if their strength has increased significantly, they still have no chance of winning, and they can successfully capture Winterfell from David.
David and Superman are enough to suppress Zod and Fiora, but even if the remaining Kryptonian warriors become stronger, there is still no guarantee that they will be able to suppress the other combatants in Winterfell.
At the end of the day, there are too few Kryptonians.
In addition, after David proved that Winterfell really connected many universes, General Zod recognized David's ability to find a suitable home for Krypton.
As long as David keeps his promise, he can get a new planet and build a new Krypton, what is the big deal to work for Winterfell for decades? So why does he have to go against David?
Zod is safe to play for Winterfell, and his men will naturally have no objections.
The Kryptonians began to work hard to learn all kinds of knowledge in Winterfell, and the Brennia lingua had already mastered it, but the special situation of the Kryptonians caused this group of soldiers to become accustomed to living in groups and lack the common sense needed to live alone.
Zod wants to gather the Kryptonians alone and live in a camp in the winter barracks: if there is a mission, he will go out on a mission, and if there is no mission, he will be on standby in the barracks.
But David disagrees with Zod's idea, and he also expects the Kryptonian gene to stay in Winterfall, which is impossible to accomplish if the group of Kryptonians have no daily life at all.
You can't pull Fiora out and give birth to dozens of babies, right? This practice is so evil that even the big hairs who were hacked and coarse in the American imperialist movies would not do it after catching Kara!
Therefore, after David determined that the Kryptonians were able to grasp and control their own power very well, he assigned them to ordinary residences one by one.
They are surrounded by many warm, friendly neighbors, and they can feel relatively 'normal' life here in Winterfell.
Although they gather regularly for training and perform tasks assigned by David, they have plenty of free time to do their own thing.
Even Kryptonians are professionals who have been trained since childhood, and some ideas are deeply imprinted in their genes.
But a creature like a human, even a Kryptonian, once he starts to think, it is easy to make a little bit of a moth, especially the idea of Krypton, which is engraved into the genes, is not so tough that it cannot be changed, which also provides the foundation for David.
If it was the kind of particularly powerful and unchangeable 'Thought Seal', then David would definitely not have thought of changing the minds of the Kryptonians.
In that case, he will find a way to get rid of Zod, and even if these subordinates left by Zod are adopted by him, they will only be used by him as tools, and then focus on cultivating the 'next generation', that is, the hybrid of Winter and Kryptonite.
Now he didn't have to use such extreme means, and he was secretly relieved about this.
Every time he comes to such a time, he will secretly mock himself in his heart: "It's really not a character who can achieve great things!" ”
However, David never thought of correcting it, and after roughly dealing with the Kryptonite matter, he began to care about the mutants again.
Unlike the Kryptonians, the mutants integrate into Winterfell very quickly, and they also like Winterfell, although compared to the Kryptonians who were deliberately scattered by David, the places where the mutants live are relatively concentrated, but David is not worried that this group of mutants will create a separate mutant community in Winterfell.
Because mutants are more willing to engage with other people than Kryptonians, they are happy to make new friends as long as the people of Winterfall are not hostile to them.
Even because of Winterfell's special nature, these mutants will take the initiative to 'meet' specific people.
For example, I have been often harassed inexplicably recently, so I ran to myself to hide from the two men who were clean.
"The daigou business is about to run out." Ethan took a sip of tea, the rich tea aroma and bitter taste made him a little uncomfortable, but after slowing down for a while, he still took a second sip: "Is this a new variety?" It doesn't taste like what I've drunk here before. ”
"The newly researched varieties of the Spartan Kingdom have a stronger taste." David liked the new variety: "How's your business going?" ”
"My daigou business is running out of business."
As Winterfell began to build factories of all kinds, many nobles saw the opportunity and opened factories large and small, all of which were aimed at the needs of Winterfell.
For example, Ethan's previous work of purchasing pencil and ink lamps on behalf of him can no longer be done: these humble daily necessities are now produced by Winterfell itself.
As for some of the 'rare things' that Winterfell hasn't started producing yet, they are basically saturated because of the lack of demand: what they want has already been bought from Ethan, and the rest don't want that kind of thing, so they won't ask Ethan to buy it on their behalf.
So, Ethan's daigou business is basically over, but fortunately he has completed his original plan: to buy a house in Winterfell.
He still lives mainly in his own world, so it doesn't matter if the business can't go on.
"If I can, I still want to find something to do, otherwise I won't even have the money to pay for the utility bills in the future." Ethan is thinking about renting out his house? Or is it about opening a store or something?
He didn't have to make a lot of money, but it was necessary to make sure he had enough liquidity on Winterfell's side.
It's a habit he's taken over the years, and he doesn't think there's any harm in doing so.
"You might consider working part-time as an instructor in Winterfell."
"Instructor? I? What can I teach? Ethan thought David was joking, looking at who the instructors in Winterfell were:
A High Elf priest from the Order of Light;
Paladins from the Knights of the Silver Hand;
a mage from Dalaran;
the High Elf Ranger General from Quel'Thalas;
Compared to these monsters, he is an ordinary person!
"Winterfell has an intelligence unit too."
"Those intelligence agents who can use the power of the Shadow to make themselves invisible? I don't think I can teach these people. ”
"Of course, you just haven't learned that...... In fact, I think if you learn, you'll learn faster than most people. ”
The Winter Intelligence Unit has been expanding its staff, and the rapid expansion has come at the cost of the uneven quality of the intelligence personnel.
Edwin Van Cleeff, as the director, didn't have a good idea of what to do, and as Winterfell's stall grew larger, so did the work he had to take care of, and even his daughter Vanessa was too busy to see anyone all day.
In this case, there is simply no time to properly train these newly recruited subordinates.
Relying on the old to bring the new? In fact, the original old man himself was also a half-ass, and in Van Cleef's eyes, these people themselves had not yet become a teacher. Now I want to be a mentor for newcomers, and you can imagine what level newcomers are.
Winterfell's intelligence department was able to ensure that there was no situation in the city, largely due to geographical factors, but it was definitely not possible to continue like this.
David knew this situation, even if Ethan didn't come to him today, he would go to find Ethan, but the other party took the initiative to send it to the door.
"If you accept this position, from now on you will be the deputy director of the Winter Intelligence Department, responsible for the training and competency review of intelligence officers."
In fact, in David's view, Ethan was better suited to be the head of the intelligence department than Van Cleef.
Although Van Cleef has good personal ability, his shortcomings in leadership and organizational skills are too obvious.
Of course, Ethan is not a good intelligence director, after all, this person has an iron head and too much gambling, but at the moment, there are only two choices, among which Ethan still has a lot of concerns in his own world, and it is already a good situation to be able to pull the chariot of Winterfell first.
In fact, David would prefer to have Sonic take the position of Minister of Intelligence, but it will take some time.
"I'm only responsible for training new people?"
"Yes."
"It doesn't sound like a lot of trouble." Ethan didn't think about it for too long, and quickly agreed, after all, such a risk-free job was very much in line with his needs: "I accepted. ”
"Welcome aboard."
David raised his teacup in a salute to Ethan, then turned to look at the man who had been sitting quietly in another seat.
"What about Clark? Not ready to take a position in Winterfell? ”
Clark shook his head decisively, he didn't want to be an official in Winterfell, in fact, he was satisfied to be a laid-back farmer in Winterfell.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of people who came to watch him recently, he would have preferred to stay and work in his farmland...... Although he can do that little work in a while.
"But if there's anything you need help with, you know where to find me."
