New Newman City, the capital of the United Kingdom, is extremely prosperous with many high-rise buildings.
First Control Headquarters, the office of the Undersecretary General Dönitz.
Holding the coffee cup, Dönitz shook his head repeatedly.
Sitting on the large sofa opposite, Lu Ming knew that Dönitz was dissatisfied with the new work arrangements given to him by the headquarters.
The commander-in-chief, five-star general Augustus, met with him and awarded him a second-level medal of valor, which was an affirmation of his work in the Western Region. Generally speaking, it seems that the headquarters judged him that his merits outweighed his faults, otherwise there would be no
Medal collar.
However, in his new job, he was assigned to Gaede Province as the director of the First Control Office in Gaede Province. On the surface, he was the deputy director of the Gaede Province Police Department.
Moreover, the main task is to return the primary police power to the state government, and now it is to clean up the police.
This deputy director is just a nominal person. If the state police department still needs to do something with the first control handover power, he, as the deputy director, must cooperate.
"I want to keep you at the headquarters!" Denitz sighed.
Lu Ming said nothing.
Since a few years ago, First Control has been gradually handing over control of the military and police in the United Kingdom, and members of First Control have withdrawn from the military and police management system.
At the same time, many agencies were separated from the first control, which today retains more of the responsibilities of military intelligence.
In fact, it is conceivable that in peacetime, a huge monster organization like the First Control would naturally be dismembered.
In the Western Region, I was used to the first-control model of comprehensive military and political control, but when I returned to the mainland, I was really not used to it.
"You also know what it means to go to Gezhou," said Deniz.
Lu Ming nodded, the three states of Gaide were actually firmly controlled by the White Rose Party.
To dismember the first control, the White Rose Party is the biggest driving force.
Dönitz added: "Constitutionalists are becoming more and more powerful now, but you should not have expected that the Rose Party has also completely changed its banner. Yesterday, the Rose Party members proposed a proposal in the Royal Parliament, "National Rights and Freedoms and Succession of the Throne".
"Declaration", demanding the restoration of the power of the previous Parliament of the Holy Kingdom of Grigrafenni, and many of the clauses are more stringent than before." Seeing that Lu Ming was a little confused, he stood up and took a document from the desk and handed it to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming flipped through it and nodded slightly. In fact, it was a proposal to completely realize the constitutional monarchy and turn Henry II into a mascot.
Just like the model of the previous Holy Kingdom and the Grand Duke of the East China Sea.
However, although the White Rose Party, an extreme Nazi organization, has many branches, its core ideology is basically royalism and Western supremacy.
Now, are you mixed up with the constitutionalists?
"There is the latest information, but I'm not sure." Deniz lowered his voice, "I heard that the magicians turned out to be the ultimate sponsors of the Rose Party. Because of His Majesty the King's peace agreement, the magicians were very dissatisfied.
In recent years, it has gradually split into two factions, the traditional faction and the new generation. I heard that the new generation and the constitutional faction have come together, and they are more powerful, cruel, and ambitious..."
Lu Ming nodded again, maybe this is a new situation caused by the technological era.
Dönitz had already sat upright, "Of course, I don't believe this, it's just rumors."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, I don't believe it either."
Deniz sipped his coffee and said leisurely: "Anyway, you went to Gaede State, and you still have a mission. You also know what the United Kingdom did in Gaede State. Up to now, many things are still there.
Continuing, in recent years, the issues of the three states of Gede have been discussed every year at the Imperial Congress. His Majesty the King hopes to solve the problem of the Gede people as soon as possible. In fact, the Gede people are not capable of causing any trouble.
However, we still have to treat him well as a citizen of the United Kingdom!"
After a pause, "However, the Rose Party there does not understand His Majesty the King's painstaking efforts. Now the Rose Party has turned to colluding with the constitutionalists. His Majesty the King hopes that you can disintegrate the local Rose Party forces in Gezhou. You are a hail of bullets."
Having just returned from China, His Majesty the King has high hopes for you!"
Dönitz said so, but obviously he was making some excuses for this awkward work arrangement.
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
"Have a good rest, I've applied for a month's leave for you!" Dönitz smiled and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder.
…
Lu Ming did not rest for a month. He spent a few days in New Newman City and met Bit's relatives again.
Although Bit did not die because of himself, he still had to treat his family well when using his form. Therefore, a few years ago, he arranged for people to bring Bit's family to New Newman City and bought them a big house and a job.
It's all well arranged.
Later, Lu Ming went to Gir City, the capital of Gezhou State, to take up his post.
However, it is obvious that he is not popular in Gill. The police station and even the office have not prepared anything for him. It is obvious that he is not needed as a nominal deputy director. When the handover and closing documents require his signature, they are sent to the first control branch.
That’s it.
As the central city of the three Ged states, Gil City was originally extremely prosperous, second only to the imperial capital in areas where Westerners gathered.
But nowadays, it looks a bit dilapidated. The seventy-five-story Gaston Building, once one of the landmarks of Gill City, has become a slum where gangs are entrenched.
A large number of properties of the Ged people have been confiscated, and the wealthy Ged people who once dominated the city of Gir are no longer traceable.
The first representative office controlled in Gir City was also the property of the Ged people confiscated in the early days. It was a mansion owned by a Ged businessman.
Lu Ming also bought a mansion in the neighborhood where the First Control Representative Office was located. He did not use the car from the representative office, but bought a supercar himself.
The general manager of "Bit" has been operating in the Western Region for more than ten years. Taking advantage of the convenience of information and a little investment, it is inevitable to become rich.
These operations in the colonies do not violate the laws of the United Kingdom.
…
The block where the First Control Representative Office and Lu Ming's residence are located are both three-story townhouses, with a small lawn in the front and a small forest garden in the back. The environment is very quiet.
The original layout of the house was a dining room and living room on the first floor, a study and bedrooms on the second and third floors, etc., but the representative office changed it into an office layout.
At this time, Lu Ming was in his office on the third floor, summoning all the remaining staff of the representative office.
There are only three people left behind under the first control.
However, there are four civilian staff, who are not real members of the first control. They are all recruited locally. Two men and two women are responsible for processing various documents. They have not received special agent training. The documents they handle are all in plain sight.
Paper documents on.
The three first control personnel left behind are special service captain Peide, intelligence agent Davitt, and transmitter Richard.
All other personnel have left, leaving only these three essential personnel.
However, Peide will leave soon. According to convention, the first controlled branch must have a field team. Peide's field operation team of fifteen people will all be evacuated now.
Lu Ming would have been left with two security personnel, but Lu Ming brought his own trusted guards, so there was no need to leave any security personnel.
Kunpeng stood behind Lu Ming. He was the bodyguard Lu Ming brought with him. However, he was in a suit and leather shoes, and no longer dressed in the bloomers of the Western Regions.
"Don't evacuate you and your people yet." Lu Ming gestured to Peide, "I will tell you at the headquarters."
When the words came to his lips, Peide swallowed them back and said, "Okay, General."
"I know, everyone wants to go home." Lu Ming took out his checkbook, scrawled the amount and handed it over, "It's my personal thoughts."
Peide was stunned and said quickly: "General, we can't take your money."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. I have been doing business with the wealthy businessmen over there in the Western Regions. I still have some savings. Take it."
Peide hesitated for a moment, stood up and took it with both hands. When he saw the amount, it was "10,000", and his eyes widened immediately.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Work with me, I won't treat you badly. Each field team member will receive 500 yuan, and the rest is yours!" He smiled again: "Keep it."
"Yes, thank you, General!" Peide accepted the offer. He was big and round, and he looked like a ruthless character at first glance.
Lu Ming looked at the intelligence agent Davitt and the telegraph operator Richard, took out two car keys from the drawer, and threw them to them respectively, "This is yours." The pioneer of Knicks Enterprise who introduced car air conditioning
600 sedan, priced at more than 2,000 yuan.
Davitt and Richard didn't say anything and accepted it.
Without rubbing the sand in his eyes, he knew that when General Bit came, he would use money to clear the way. Obviously, he was not just here to do the final work of handing over the police force. He obviously also had secret missions, and they were very difficult ones.
And it is very likely that it is the general's private work.
However, the power of the First Controller has been completely shrunk recently, which makes people feel suffocated. If there is some bloody secret mission, that would be great.
Lu Ming briefly chatted with them again, and after they left, Lu Ming took out a stack of documents from the drawer.
It's not a bad idea to come to Gezhou. Soros has a batch of gold here, and he's just trying to find a way to transport it to the Northern Territory.
That batch of gold is in the underground secret room of a Soros mansion, about one hundred tons. If you want to transport it away, it is really difficult to do it without the name of first control.
