Facts have proven that the military is more effective than the planetary government system in gathering information about the Anti-Smuggling Department.
Three days later, Hals heard the news, saying that the two anti-smuggling warships had made a temporary decision to randomly inspect the passenger starships.
Qu Jianlei didn't quite understand the smell inside, but the little fat man knew it very well.
"The two warships are considered to be in a formation. Making any temporary decisions requires a lot of decision-making power."
"Besides, you showed your ID card for Hoyle's official residence and it didn't work. Someone is really trying to get you."
"I understand. The commander in charge of that formation is called Daisis. He was scolding you two days ago, saying you were arrogant."
Qu Jianlei narrowed his eyes when he heard this and laughed, "You are so brave, you still dare to curse people now?"
"That's the kind of people," Hals replied disapprovingly, "they live in their own world."
After thinking about it, Qu Jianlei said, "Please tell me something and ask that Daisis to come to the academy to find me and explain the problem clearly."
"Huh?" The little fat man looked at him in astonishment, "You want him to come to you to apologize, and you also want to find out who was behind the scenes?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei replied matter-of-factly, "Just pass the message on. I want to see if he wants to die."
"It's okay to send messages," Hals nodded, and then said hesitantly, "But... it may not be effective."
He was too aware of the moral character of the guys in the Anti-Smuggling Department, and except for the instructions from the superior department, he basically ignored what others said.
Anyway, even if trouble is caused, if you just hide in the headquarters, who will dare to come to you?
Qu Jianlei smiled disapprovingly, "I just wanted to see how bold he is."
This was not arrogance on his part. Since someone was instructing him, that Daisis must have understood by now what a dangerous person he had provoked.
If Kushnir's death can't calm the other party, then he doesn't mind causing another accident.
Of course, it would be best if the other party jumps over the wall and forces out the instigator behind the scenes.
Is your tone so loud? Hals looked at him doubtfully, and finally nodded, "Okay."
His efficiency was really not slow. He told Qu Jianlei the next day, "The message has been sent. Is your defense array complete?"
Qu Jianlei nodded, "It was finalized yesterday. When we get back to Star 2, we'll see how to apply for a project."
Hals shook his head, "Although I don't want to say it, I can't help but... wouldn't it be good to sell the results to the military?"
Qu Jianlei stared into his eyes and answered seriously, "I never think that monopoly can promote technological progress."
This is just one reason, but another reason is also important.
Although the Fourth War Zone was relatively friendly to him, the Third War Zone's attitude towards him was really bad.
Reporting the results of this kind of project will definitely benefit the entire army. Qu Jianlei is not so generous as to take advantage of his enemies.
Hals shook his head helplessly, "You are too stubborn. What formation will be your next project?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet, but if there is a customized formation project in the fourth theater, I can consider taking it on."
Is there a big difference between the two? It's really not that small.
The remnant map of the defensive array is the resource Qu Jianlei found himself, and the result of research and development also belongs to his own intellectual property rights.…
Although he does not have the power to spread it at will, the benefits of this project are in his own hands.
The military's designated projects are different, and the main beneficiary will not be him.
However, as the project initiator, the military needs to provide relevant information and help.
Both initial resources and R&D funds come from the military.
With this kind of cooperation, Qu Jianlei is a bit like a senior migrant worker. The good thing is that he can improve his skills and vision.
Hals also understood the difference. He smiled and shook his head, "If you refuse to join the military, such good things will not be your turn."
Qu Jianlei asked curiously, "Isn't it okay to accept proper supervision?"
The little fat man gave him a dumbfounded look, "Is this appropriate? Must be strictly supervised!"
"If you join the military, the supervision will be looser... If you want to use military resources to improve yourself and still make money, who will agree?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head indifferently, "Then don't accept it, I'm not short of money..."
"No, you're short of money!" Xiaohu said softly in his mind.
"The difference is a lot of money," Qu Jianlei responded silently, "not this little money."
"This is not a small amount of money," Xiaohu argued, "We can definitely use the funds from the project to purchase a mainframe!"
This guy...who taught you this? Qu Jianlei pursed his lips in confusion.
"Project funds are subject to supervision, and you don't want to be discovered, right? Think of the anti-smuggling department, where there is artificial intelligence."
Xiao Hu suddenly fell silent, but the cartoon avatar was still turning slowly, obviously showing some emotion.
Hals sighed, "That's right. For someone like you who is not short of money, you really don't have to wrong yourself too much."
With the improvement of the defensive formation, it was said that he would no longer need to follow up, but he came again the next day and continued to check in.
After checking in for another two days, the little fat man asked curiously, "Has Daisis come to see you?"
"No," Qu Jianlei shook his head with a dark face.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gerati came over again and found that no one was in the library, so she went to the courtyard again.
She came here to spread the news that someone from the Anti-Smuggling Department did take money and wanted to deal with the pandas.
The other party refused to disclose which force paid the money, but said it had no intention of targeting Hoyle.
At the same time, some people on the opposite side said that Panda actually asked a B-level middle-level executive to give an explanation. It was too arrogant!
Gerati didn't know before that Panda was the middleman in Kushnir's assassination, but now she has guessed a little bit.
So when she relayed other people's comments about Qu Jianlei, she was a little helpless, "I really dare to say anything."
Qu Jianlei blinked and asked, "Who gave them this confidence?"
This is not only provoking him, but also provoking the dignity of the first deputy planetary commander.
Gerati hesitated before saying vaguely, "The Anti-Smuggling Department cooperates with many forces."
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
He spoke with a strange expression, "So, only forces that cooperate with the Anti-Smuggling Department can smuggle openly?"
Upon hearing this, Glady smiled helplessly, "Although your words are a bit straightforward, that's basically the truth."
Qu Jianlei touched his chin and asked thoughtfully, "In other words, there are many high-ranking officials behind the Anti-Smuggling Department?"...
Glady nodded helplessly, "You know the smuggling Lilan..."
"These forces are complex, and interest groups composed of consortiums, families, and industries are more difficult to deal with."
Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully, no wonder the other party didn't even buy into Hoyle's account.
If Lao Huo was the first in command, he might still be able to do something about it, but he is only the second in command and is still focused on the position of the first in command.
Those forces originally had great potential influence, but at this juncture, their ability to do bad things is too strong.
So he didn't want to accuse Hoyle. Since he received five million more, it was normal to pay more.
Qu Jianlei pondered and asked, "How should we attack the community of interests centered around the Anti-Smuggling Department?"
"A community of interests? This word is more accurate," Gerati tasted it for a while before speaking slowly.
"There are two possibilities. One is that the top of the empire exerts force, and the other is that you find people who support you."
"They can be chaotic internally, but they will work together to resist external pressure."
Qu Jianlei thought about it again, then shook his head, "Internal division is a good idea, but it is not a deterrent enough!"
In any case, he also represents the "one force" that can kill the supreme one, and we cannot tolerate such provocation.
Moreover, this kind of community of interests is indeed united if we say it is united, but it is also very loose if we say it is loose.
Qu Jianlei felt that he had figured it out. The reason why Daisis stood up so hard was just to use the tiger's skin as a banner.
The core of a community of interests...is interests! He has no intention of touching the interests of the other party.
The other party is still holding on because the pressure he puts on it is not enough and the pressure is strong enough. The community will naturally consider the needs of the opponent.
Glady nodded after hearing this. She also knew what Hoyle was afraid of.
If one's own side does not come forward, the panda can intimidate the other side, which is equivalent to having another card in one's hand.
"It is not convenient for Heltmann to come forward publicly, but if there is anything that needs to be cooperated, it is his duty to do so!"
Qu Jianlei could guess Hoyle's fears, so naturally he wouldn't care about it anymore, so he nodded.
"I need information about that Daisis, the more detailed the better."
"Okay," Glady nodded. She was curious about what the panda would do, but she didn't ask any questions.
The other party has promised not to show up, so she should be content. Before she came, the captain of the guard was most worried about the panda being unreasonable.
Whatever happens next, she can just watch with cold eyes.
Qu Jianlei didn't make them wait any longer. On the evening of the next day, he drove to the gate of the Anti-Smuggling Department's headquarters.
There are not too many people in the headquarters, only three to four hundred people, half of whom are civilians, and there are also armed guards.
Daisis also worked here, and after get off work, he drove away.
As he drove to the gate, he saw a car parked across the road with its windows rolled down.
In this late winter period, not many people put down their car windows, and those people exude a dangerous atmosphere.
Daisis looked sideways and his expression changed slightly.
But the next moment, he sped away and left. In broad daylight, he didn't believe what the other party could do.
After all, this is the anti-smuggling headquarters; do you still dare to attack me openly?
However, not long after driving, he found that the other party was following him in a car.
Although there are not many people in Star 4, the traffic flow during rush hour is not small, and the other party actually bites me hard.
Daisis tried several times, but could not get rid of him.
Even if he could get away occasionally, it wouldn't be long before that car would appear behind him again.
He couldn't help but frown, "Did this guy... install a locator on my car?"
