Chapter 18 [Operator·Mole](1/2)
January 5, 1591 in the Terran calendar.
Collapse Authority Helselem Tower.
The first floor below ground level.
Xia Xiu and Tours were standing outside the observation glass in front of the interrogation room. Their eyes were looking through the glass at the scene inside the interrogation room.
The half-orc Gruba Boneshatter was placed in front of a special instrument, and his head was filled with dense instruments and sensors. These devices were extracting information from his brain.
His eyes were distracted, and he was obviously under the influence of some kind of drug or technology.
"Is this guy still normal?" Tours looked at this scene briefly and said with a click of his tongue.
"We are not the villains in some picture book stories. This device looks scary, but the damage to the brain is not too serious. At most, it will make your brain think a little slower in the future. Moreover, the person in the interrogation department now is Winfield.
Scott, he is a brain expert." Xia Xiu retorted.
The Winfield Scott mentioned here is the brain in a vat that he rescued from the great race of Yis on Jupiter. The other person became his intelligence officer like Pansy Jane.
The No. 1 Intelligence Officer, Pansy Jane, is responsible for the regular intelligence processing of the Bureau and coordinating the operations of the Bureau; while the No. 2 Intelligence Officer, Winfield, only has one head left, so his job is to cooperate with [Adam]
Crisis issue handling and intelligence review of some complexities.
Winfield is now in charge of the interrogation section of the Bureau.
Tours looked at the blond young man with a serious face and an upright look.
A question arises unconsciously in my heart: Isn’t the usual style of Heavenly Kingdom the villain in everyone’s eyes...
But he also muttered this in his heart, after all, he was now a member of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Dong dong dong——
While the two were chatting, the Moon Rabbit appeared at the right time, and she walked respectfully in front of Xia Xiu and Turs.
"Report to the director, this is the list of all the information provided about Gruba Broken Bones." The Moon Rabbit handed the information obtained from the interrogation department to Xia Xiu.
"Yeah." Xia Xiu smiled at the Moon Rabbit, then took the information handed over by the other party and began to carefully read through the documents in his hand.
"There are quite a few races involved, including halflings, kobolds, goblins, and some believers related to the gods..." He whispered while reading, "Among the so-called eight major families in the Whispering Square, there are
I don’t know how many of them are responsible for inducing vomiting.”
"Yes, and the emetics will definitely become more vigilant when they find out that there are two less secret cult attendants here. They will probably tighten their supply during this period. And the Whispering Plaza and other alien races may have heard of your arrival.
After hearing the news, they began to intentionally or unintentionally intend to whitewash their own business, and the emetics also began to intentionally cut off their sales channels."
Bright Moon Rabbit closely followed Xia Xiu's analysis and further sorted out the situation based on her understanding and observation of the current situation.
The increased vigilance of the Emetic Cult and the adjustment of sales channels, as well as other alien races' attempts to launder business, are all direct responses to the current threat perception and countermeasures.
"It's a little late to clear my name now." The director of the administration responded calmly and coldly, his golden eyes flashing with an edge that could not be ignored, "With dogs like the Vomitizer and the Skaven Clan unable to change their habit of eating shit,
It can’t be washed away at all.”
"Moreover, their secret medicine industry has formed a complex market system, and every link is closely connected to maintain the operation of the secret medicine market in Whisper Alley. With the knowledge and ability of the Emetic Secret Cult, the Skaven Clan
The resources and network of the Werewolf family, the management of the secret followers, and the direct role of the disseminators all together constitute such a black market economy."
Xia Xiu casually swiped in the air, and [Adam's] screen projection appeared in the void, with a thought diagram constructed from his thoughts written on the screen.
The thinking diagram is about the planning of the upper, middle and lower markets of the black market economy of Whisper Square.
[Upstream: raw materials and production]
The Secret Cult of Emetics: As the original creator and main manufacturer of the secret medicine, the Secret Cult of Emetics is at the top of this industry chain. They not only master the formula and production technology of the secret medicine, but are also responsible for the collection and processing of raw materials. In this link
, members of the secret cult use their knowledge and magical abilities to create secret elixirs with special effects, providing core products for the entire market.
[Midstream: processing and wholesale]
The Skaven Clan and the Skaven Clan: These two groups are in the middle of the secret medicine industry chain. They are responsible for the further processing, packaging and wholesale of the secret medicine. The Skaven and Skaven take advantage of them.
With its network and resources, the original secret medicine provided by the Emetic Secret Cult can be transformed into commercial products on the market. At the same time, it may also participate in the secondary innovation of the secret medicine and the development of new products.
[Downstream: retail and distribution]
Secret Cult Attendants: Secret Cult Attendants play the role of bridges and nodes in this system. They are responsible for introducing midstream products to the final stage of the market. As senior members within the Secret Cult, attendants are responsible for managing and issuing "communicator" licenses.
Ensure that the distribution of secret medicines is in the interests of the secret religion and meets the needs of the market.
Communicator: Communicator is at the end of the industrial chain, directly facing the final consumer. They are responsible for the final retail sale of the secret medicine and delivering the product directly to the user. Communicator needs the recognition and permission of the secret cult attendant. This mechanism guarantees
It ensures the orderliness and secrecy of the secret medicine distribution.
"This black market economy must be eradicated completely by the Administration."
Having said this, he paused, turned to look at Turs who was silent and asked:
"Tulsi, what do you think?"
"Me?" Tours didn't expect that Xia Xiu would suddenly name him, so he was stunned for a moment.
However, how could he see it? It was obvious.
"Armed conflicts are inevitable, and to manage the situation we must take action against Whisper Square, the hub of the neighborhood."
Turs's fox ears swayed slightly on his head, seeming to express his thoughts and decisions at the moment. His little face said seriously:
"Now the top-level combat capabilities of the Administration are guaranteed by pillars, so we are not timid about the backers behind the Whispering Square, but at the grassroots level..."
As the saying goes: When a soldier fights a soldier, he will fight a general.
At the level of generals, the Administration now has the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven as its backbone, so there is no problem in terms of top-level combat capabilities.
In the command system, there is no problem with Tours and Pansy Jane, coupled with [Adam].
The problem facing the administration now is at the level of soldiers versus soldiers. They lack grassroots and backbone operators, and now there are only a handful of elite officers in the entire administration.
"The newly established administrative task force doesn't even have an official name now." As he spoke, Tours looked at the tall and tall Moon Rabbit.
"The number of the A1 assault team currently led by the elite operator Jiaoyue Rabbit is limited to 20-30 people, because only this size ensures the flexibility of the team and sufficient combat effectiveness. If you want
To attack the Whispering Square, the size of the task force will be tripled, and a large number of grassroots operatives from the Administration will also be mobilized. After all, whether before or after the war, a large number of grassroots personnel are needed to handle administrative matters.
Question." The fox-eared boy continued with distressed words.
"It is true that grassroots issues are the main problem that the administration needs to solve now." Xia Xiu agreed with Tours' words.
The grassroots officers of the Administration often have to deal with a large number of tasks, but the manpower is tight, resulting in high work pressure and difficulty in effectively allocating time and energy.
This is only a staged grassroots issue - because it does not yet involve basic indicators such as personal development, social relations, and psychological pressure of grassroots operatives.
Now we just single out the problem of insufficient manpower among many problems.
"That's why I hope to set up a task force in the management office to divide the related tasks of the Kingdom of Heaven trip, hand over important and urgent tasks to the task force, free the grassroots from arduous and difficult problems, and improve the efficiency of grassroots work.
, reduce their work pressure." Xia Xiu sighed.
His administrative philosophy has always been "better troops and simpler administration".
By streamlining the organization and personnel, we will improve efficiency and effectiveness in order to optimize the functions of the Administration and improve the governance capabilities of the Administration.
On the premise of ensuring administrative efficiency and service quality, reduce unnecessary administrative levels and personnel, and optimize resource allocation to achieve more efficient operating efficiency.
He has now rationalized and reorganized the existing authority, reducing organizational levels, merging departments with similar or overlapping functions, reducing administrative costs and improving decision-making efficiency.
Try to free grassroots operatives from unnecessary and repetitive work.
However, for the fledgling administration headquarters, time is still far from enough, and there are always more problems than methods.
Therefore, Xia Xiu could only focus on the construction of the task force, first building a strong enough "elite force" to solve a large number of problems.
"The municipal issues in Hell's Kitchen and the Whispering Square will be resolved around midwinter. I will double the number of the task force before the festival and ensure their combat capabilities." Xia Xiu said to Turs.
"You are going to find the other two thornheads," Tours said with interest. "Their political background and code of conduct are very difficult to deal with."
"Didn't you give me the list of personnel of the task force, and now you are causing trouble with me?" Xia Xiu glanced at Tours speechlessly.
"Don't look at me like that. Although they are troublesome, they are indeed rare talents." Tours replied immediately.
"It is indeed a rare talent to read information, but their purpose of contacting the Administration is very impure." Xia Xiu recalled the files of the two preparatory elite operators that Turs handed to him.
"A traitor to the Mechanical Church of the Daevite Empire, a subjugated member of Valhalla, and a patient with strange hoof disease..."
He rubbed his brows and continued:
"You and Pansy Jane are responsible for controlling the affairs of Hell's Kitchen and Whispering Plaza, and the command of the A1 team has been temporarily handed over to you two. Now I need to make contact with the first target to see what they want.
"
"Yeah." Turs and Moon Rabbit nodded at the same time.
A twisted [Mobius strip] appeared in front of Xia Xiu.
The next moment, ripples occurred in the space, and his figure completely disappeared from the sight of the two people.
************
Rich Robert's day begins in an ordinary house in Hell's Kitchen. This is a place that is very different from the impression of the outside world. It is full of chaos and danger.
Jingle bells, bells, bells—
The sound of the alarm bell is like the first horn sound every morning, announcing the beginning of a new day.
