"..." After sending away two special guests, Alan Richard went to the second-floor outer balcony of his sunny residence and office alone, found a bench, and began to sit on it in a daze. In the eyes of several former employees of the intelligence department and now the firm’s employees, their own boss made them very worried; and the content of the conversation brought by the two people after they came here is undoubtedly not a simple routine. .

It's really troublesome... If Kenona comes... it would be nice if the deputy director is also here. Several people thought in unison. The latter had just traveled to the Oreid Autonomous Prefecture for a business trip and was not in Liber for the time being, and only the presence of a close relationship with the chief...the boss could pry open the mouth of his boss. Obviously, Richard didn't mean to explain to them.

In fact, Richard was just wondering whether it was appropriate to do so. Regarding something they talked about just now...in theory, he is no longer a soldier. He who has committed many crimes has no face to ask about the current state’s policies, even though Lieutenant General Cassius personally values ​​his opinions. …But since he has already acquiesced, it seems that he shouldn’t object too much to…

The news brought by Heilijia has only one key point: Liber is needed as an absolutely confidential intelligence turnover center, and the person in charge of this project will not leave the kingdom of Liber for half a step; for this, he needs to set up a series of... It is a "secret communication information" device. Richard will be responsible for finding the venue and the trusted counterpart. After that, even he himself will not be allowed to intervene; and according to Cassius’ subtext, even the queen and Prince Olibate are like this. The characters don’t even know...

Naturally, his old boss would not betray the interests of the kingdom, and Richard certainly did not doubt him. Maybe it was just the instincts of his former intelligence chief at work, Richard thought. Although he had agreed, but he really thought of implementing it in this way, he was actually not too motivated.

The problem of location is actually very easy to solve; as the former head of the intelligence department, almost no one in Liber knows the secret locations that are not easily detectable than him; the only problem is the person who handed over the job-Heliga repeatedly emphasized its importance. , Richard understands that only the absolute elite among his men can do such a job; whether it is himself or Kenona, he requires them in the next one to two years-this is Heilijia's promise that things will end. Time-not leaving Libel for half a step is undoubtedly unrealistic. In addition to the two of them, the best employee is one of the veterans at the beginning of the establishment of this studio, and the Reinz brothers who have also been entrusted with important tasks by themselves.

Among them, the younger brother was sent to Ored Autonomous Prefecture by himself a long time ago, using it as a springboard to collect information from Kalvard. He is currently very happy to cooperate with the local forces, and he has no plans to transfer him back. The point is that the elder of the two was originally responsible for the intelligence work of the Erebonian Empire, and he was on the side of Closber under the cover of a reporter before.

Heliga and him met each other—before the "Commerce Conference," Heliga used him to exchange news about the movement of the "Red Constellation" with himself. Richard thought that he probably remembered such a person, so it seemed good to leave the matter to him. Most importantly, with the occupation of Krossberg by the Empire, agents from the Imperial Intelligence Agency will soon be deployed here, and it will be very difficult for Reinz to act as usual. It is only a trivial matter that the information obtained will be severely insufficient, and the worse situation is that the imperial government is caught by the imperial government. Taking into account the information brought by Heliga, Rufas El Barrea is the chief of the "Son of Iron and Blood". Astonishing fact, top players like "Scarecrow" and "Ice Girl" might also visit here often, and you must be more cautious when confronting such a talented person.

Under this circumstance, let Reinz stay safely in Libel and be responsible for a single intelligence connection with Heilija’s special person. Although the source of intelligence has become single, Richard believes in the judgment of his old superiors. And his intuition-through this channel, he can know more in detail, especially those that are concealed by the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and he will not be able to detect clues about the secret operations related to the trend, and rarely disclose it. Information about the royal family. Even, Heiligar’s relationship with associations and churches now...Richard became more excited about thinking about it, and more afraid of later—what was excited about the coverage of the huge intelligence network he was going to help build, and what he was worried about was , If one day this advantage is used against his motherland Libel...?

However, Richard pays attention to reason and logic after all. He soon wanted to understand: For Heliga and Olibat, maintaining peace and friendship with Liber is a long-term policy that absolutely has more advantages than disadvantages. The possibility of Liber being threatened in this regard will only be more than the original one. smaller. As for whether Libel’s changing tendencies will break the previous diplomatic balance between the empire and the republic... Richard thinks carefully. The words of President Collins before may be reasonable: the power of the empire can continue for a long time, Carlvard Whether you can survive this difficult period is unknown, and it is better to make changes proactively than to make changes passively when the time comes.

After thinking about the result, Richard's brows gradually opened up—he had completely forgotten that he had maintained this worrying posture for his subordinates for two hours. When he suddenly spoke, he frightened some of the men who were peeping nearby. Jumped.

"Snee"... In the dull newsroom, a sneeze from reporter Reinz caught everyone's attention. And after he was smiling and apologizing, a group of reporters and editors bowed their heads unhappily, desperate for their original work.

"What's the matter?" Her boss, Grace Lynn, keenly aware of what happened, asked herself quietly.

"I don't know... I probably have a cold." Reinz lowered his voice. He certainly knows why the editorial department looks so sad: the local media from the Imperial Governor’s Office has been censored to an almost harsh level. The veterans in many companies have been invited to drink tea by the military police of the Empire Those yin and yang, reports and news that contained something in the words were also beaten back by the fierce imperial officials. After fighting like this for a while, the imperial government simply raided the editorial department and took the editor-in-chief to the "Orchid Tower" for a day and a night. When he came back, the people of Krossberg discovered that Krossberg was originally ambitious. The news agency is now slowly becoming a mouthpiece for the empire; and the other news brought by the editor-in-chief is that the expatriate senior editor of the "Empire Times" will take over his position as the editor-in-chief.

Today is the day when the new chief editor arrives. The new bureaucratic editor insults himself as soon as he comes up, and it's weird for them to have a good face.

For Reinz, this seemed to mean that his other identity should come into play.
