Sensing the unusually serious atmosphere in the living room, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little confused about the next direction of the plot.
Since the Holy Ashan Empire was defeated in the war three years ago, the Binhai City Naval Base has been forced to be leased to the Far East Navy. This is undoubtedly a huge shame.
As an official of the Ashan Empire, Mr. Gordon had private contacts with senior officers of the Far East Navy. If the news leaked out, I'm afraid his career would be over.
Gao Fei had a good impression of Mr. Gordon. This tough-guy police officer who insisted on justice refused to collude with the gangs and would not commit treason.
To take a step back, even if Mr. Gordon was really a spy paid by the Far East military, he would not risk being exposed and let outsiders see his private meeting with Lieutenant Colonel Abigail.
While he was making secret calculations, Lieutenant Colonel Abigail also looked at the three young people, including Gao Fei, with a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon. It took a while before breaking the silence in the living room.
"Now that Mr. Gordon says so, I have nothing to worry about."
"You gentlemen and ladies must all know that the security situation in Binhai City has been very unsatisfactory in recent years. Gangster and criminal activities in the city have become increasingly rampant. In the waters on both sides of the Belt Canal, the Raging Waves Pirates are even more lawless and frequently plunder the passers-by.
Merchant ship."
"Logically speaking, it is your Binhai City police's responsibility to crack down on gangs and pirates. It is not my turn, as a foreigner, to intervene."
"Mr. Gordon, I originally expected that your taking office would change the status quo. Unfortunately, so far, I have seen no signs of improvement in public security."
Being criticized in person by a foreign officer for neglecting his duties, Mr. Gordon looked ugly, but he had no way to refute. After all, what Lieutenant Colonel Abigail said was true, which made him particularly embarrassed.
Lieutenant Colonel Abigail continued: "Recently, even the logistics contractors at our naval base have been blackmailed by gangs. After refusing to pay protection fees, the cargo ship transporting supplies was robbed by pirates. I don't think this is just a
Coincidence, Mr. Gordon, what do you think?"
"Ahem... Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I have received a report. I cannot make any conclusions before the results of the investigation come out. However, I must admit that the Blood Anchor Gang who blackmailed the navy's material suppliers is indeed a die-hard ally of the Raging Tide Pirates. These two
A criminal organization that often cooperates in operations in the city and at sea."
The police chief replied awkwardly.
"Mr. Gordon, my question is, when will this case be resolved and the supplier's losses be recovered?"
"Well... I'm sorry. The police force in the city is tight and I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time. Anyway, I will try my best."
Lieutenant Colonel Abigail was very dissatisfied with the police chief's perfunctory attitude, and her thick eyebrows furrowed.
"Mr. Gordon, I might as well put the ugly words up front. If you don't have the confidence to wipe out the gangs and fight against pirates, then our Far East Navy will have to seek justice in our own way. The consequences will include possible
You cannot escape from the diplomatic dispute."
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you don't have to knock me. In fact, I am more eager to fight crime than anyone else, including you, and completely eliminate the Blood Anchor Gang and the Raging Tide Pirates, two gangs that are greedy for blood on the arteries of Marina City.
cancer!"
Mr. Gordon couldn't help but get excited, but soon his face turned sullen.
"But...I'm not afraid of making fun of you. I, the police chief, am just empty-handed. I can't even restrain my own men. I've been infiltrated by gangs like a sieve. I just formulated a plan to combat gangs and pirates, and I went there that day.
If it is leaked by a traitor, how can we talk about strict law enforcement?"
After listening to Mr. Gordon's complaint, Lieutenant Colonel Abigail's face became a little more sympathetic, and her tone became softer.
"Please forgive me for being unreasonable, Mr. Gordon. The difficulties you revealed are completely consistent with the information I have. There is indeed a traitor colluding with pirates in your office building."
Gao Fei listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but feel moved, so he interjected: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, it would be inconvenient for me to elaborate, how did you know that there was a traitor in the police station?"
Lieutenant Colonel Abigail hesitated for a moment, seeming to weigh whether the private detective was trustworthy.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally answered Gao Fei's question.
"Mr. Wayne, have you heard of the 'Cloud Network'?"
"Of course I know that." Gao Fei's mouth trembled, resisting the urge to complain.
This so-called "cloud network" is the most popular menstruation topic on Tianren Forum. From time to time, it is brought up by players in various ways and ridiculed, and it is jokingly called "the shame of Tiangong Game Design Department".
According to the game settings, the "Cloud Net" is a "super mystery lock" with the official background of the Korath Empire. It is similar to the "Skynet" established by Tiangong, but its scope is wider. It not only covers the entire world of Vales, but also
Even parallel planes and some outer planes can also obtain services provided by the "Cloud Network".
If this is just a network for transmitting magic power, and users can extract magic power from it and gain permission to cast spells, it would not be worth making a fuss about.
However, what is outrageous is that in addition to the regular functions of the Mystery Lock, the Cloud Network can also be used to send and receive mails and packages, transmit audio and video signals, listen to radio and video programs, open financial accounts, store magic and earn interest, and even
Forums, online news and shopping sites…
Isn’t this just copying the real-world Internet?
Including Gao Fei, when the trainee SWAT officers first came into contact with Yunwang in the game, they all felt a very strong sense of disobedience.
The era background in the game is equivalent to the early 19th century in Blue Star, which is the level of the first industrial revolution, but with many supernatural factors added.
For example, as the engine of the industrial revolution, the steam engine in the game is driven by magic crystal instead of coal, and its work efficiency is much higher.
Overall, this is a fantasy world with a magical steampunk background, with guns and steamships, but there is no way a cross-era technology like the Internet could exist.
Because of this, trainee special police officers who are trained in the game world often complain about "Cloud Network" on forums, and jointly request the official to delete this setting when updating the game version, so as not to damage the overall style of the game background.
However, strangely enough, the Tiangong Game Design Department, which has always accepted user suggestions humbly, was surprisingly stubborn this time. No matter how sarcastic and sarcastic everyone was, it refused to change. It even responded with a strange tone in the official reply:
"Whether you like it or not, the 'Cloud Network' is there and will continue to exist."
