Now, there are only three of them left in this office in the entire Azure Palace.
As a murderous secret police leader, Makarov switched too many psychological constructs in just a short moment. He made a lot of mental plans for what was about to happen, and even considered fighting. But in the end, it finally turned into a smile that he didn't know whether it was self-destruction or awakening, but he didn't know that it was to Lu Xi. , or to yourself, or to other people and things that are no longer there.
Speaking of which, Lu Xi has never worked for anyone in his life (even his previous life), and Makarov is his (nominally) longest boss. If it were anyone else, he might have used this as an excuse to get closer, or even simply rely on his old age to show off his strength, but Makarov asked frankly and straightforwardly: "So, Master Russell died in your hands, was it? ?"
¡°Oh, you ended up interrogating me instead? Lu Xi looked at Makarov's face with interest, "Even if you kill me right away, I will still ask." Then he looked at Andriel beside him. The girl was still expressionless. But his hands were clenching his sleeves so tightly that they turned a little white.
"It seems that you are an insider. However, this is not surprising. The head of a country is in full view of everyone, but there is another identity and so many secrets hidden behind him. After all, it is impossible to bypass you, the head of the secret police. .¡±
Although he didn't understand what kind of mythical beast the "Secret Police Chief" was, Makarov felt that the other party was probably scolding him, but before he could laugh at himself, he heard Lu Xi say again: "But you guessed it right. Master Russell¡¯s life was indeed taken by me with my own hands.¡±
Makarov looked at Andriel, only to find that the other person just lowered his eyelids and said nothing, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.
"Really? Then maybe this is what the master wants to see the most." Makarov's eyes contained deep sorrow, his smile was stiff and awkward, but his whole aura seemed to have left behind something heavy. The burden was normal, but I felt relieved all of a sudden.
"I don't know much about Master Russell's plan, what potential back-ups he has, and what allies he has. In fact, I only know a hazy outline. Andriel is the liaison between Master Russell and the outside world. As a messenger between some people or organizations, I just try to make it as convenient as possible for her within the scope of my authority."
Makarov paused for a moment and then said: "Actually, the nobles are not returning. I got the news more than a month before the Elishaar incident. I know that this is not a trivial matter and I dare not leak it. , he reported directly to Master Russell and suggested that he transfer the Sixth Army of Daroshur Fortress and your Excellency's Fourth Army back to Orso in the name of rotation defense, but he stopped him. . He asked me to do nothing except transfer the most capable secret censors abroad in a reasonable and reasonable name. I understand what the master means. He wants to let the powerful sect jump out and hand over the righteousness to him "
Lu Xi nodded indifferently: "Indeed, the coup process of the clan faction was very successful. It was like playing chess. The first was to set up a dragnet to block all possibilities of the enemy's counterattack and struggle, and finally the general was the general. However, it was just a game of chess. Although the powerful aristocrats have a group of old monsters that look like they have been fermented by a thousand-year stench, most of them are just junk snacks. How can they complete a layout of this scale without revealing any flaws? From the looks of it, I say you I should have brought it up to see you, but I have wronged you."
"You don't need to ridicule me. In order to prevent the powerful faction from leaking the truth, I did not inform everyone in the Field Service Office, but then the tragic situation happened during the coup. They trusted me as their boss wholeheartedly, but they didn't know the real truth. It was me who sent them to death." Makarov pondered for a moment, his face seemed to twitch, but overall there was no big disturbance: "I am a sinner, and I am willing to live in the goddess's scale after death. I will bear all the punishment from heaven, butI have no regrets.¡±
"Haha This is a bit like Master Russell's style. You all understand that you are doing bad things, but you are both aware of the guilt and punishment for it, but you are both determined. No wonder you are on the same path. By."
In comparison, although Master Pallon also vaguely guessed that Master Russell was not dead and knew that the latter must have some shady plan, he could only be regarded as an insider who was watching. Probably because the old principal of the magic academy is more like a pure intellectual.
He didn¡¯t know how to choose, or even whether Russell¡¯s trip was right or wrong, so he could only remain silent.
"Master Russell also gave me an order to wait for the situation to change, and thendon't worry about him, just show up at the right time and obey your orders."
"If I say that I entered the process a little late,, or if you are detained outside the city, you will also find an opportunity to cause riots in Elishal and welcome my army into the city, right? "
Makarov agreed silently. He pondered for a moment and said: "Except for me, all the remaining secret censors are unaware of this. They were originally spellcasters, but for the sake of the country, they volunteered to undergo rigorous training and perform shady work. No regrets at all. I just hope, no, ask you to give them the treatment and protection they deserve, and if possible, honor"
The implication is, please take good care of my men, I can give you my head now.
Lu Xi said in a slow and leisurely tone, as if chatting: "National affairs require a lot of operations, and the academic alliance is also needed. However, I don't have a qualified scalpel in my hand. I want to organize the field service department and the academic alliance The alliance¡¯s supervision department, which was useless a hundred years ago, will be merged into an upright law enforcement agency directly managed by the central government. Well, let¡¯s call it the FBIhehehehe.¡±
Lu Xi laughed, but unfortunately the other two people present had no idea what was going on. Lu Xi once again realized how sad it was that he was the only one who knew anything, so he put away his smile and said, "Anyway, are you interested in becoming a director? Lieutenant General Makarov."
Makarov acted as if he was stunned. Even Andriel's focused eyes flashed with a hint of shock, and her whole body suddenly returned to life again.
"In the final analysis, you are just a fellow traveler of the patriot Master Russell, and nothing else Then, I have no right to accuse you. I have already known the news that the powerful faction is preparing to cause trouble, and it's nothing like that. Didn't you say anything? In the final analysis, if you want to do things at our level, you are doomed to get further and further away from morality in the traditional sense. You have done cruel and unethical things, but you have no right to bear all the pain and entanglement of cause and effect. I admire this kind of enlightenment." Lu Xi picked up the official letter paper and quill from the table and started writing.
"You will give this letter directly to Master Pallon later, and ask him to make another proposal in the Senate tomorrow. At that time, the Senate will authorize you as the plenipotentiary representative of the Parliament to rectify the affairs of the field office, supervision department, etc. All internal affairs departments, including the Department and the National Guard. According to my idea, the Office of Field Service and the Department of Supervision will be merged into the FBI, which will be responsible for major national security affairs and internal and external intelligence. In the future, you will continue to serve as director. And it will be subordinate to various localities. The government's security force must be reorganized into a top-down vertically managed security force, let's call it the police department. I have already thought of the headquarters, and it will be located in the Orachlan Fortress."
Of course, the military weapons and strategic weapons on the fortress will be demolished, but the military port can be retained. Not only that, Lu Xi is also planning to equip the future police headquarters with some high-speed battleships. Maybe in the future, there will be scenes of policemen driving high-speed patrol boats and attacking flying tribesmen in the Orso area, but isn't this kind of scene still quite touching?
Or maybe in a dozen years, the police headquarters will be called Orange Field. Wouldn¡¯t that be more interesting?
"I would, um, suggest that Major Carol Rossiter leave the military and serve in the police department. After this period of suffering, the people of Elishare have a considerable respect for the guardsmen wearing black leather. Fortunately, Carroll stayed at Dugu Castle for three months and gained a lot of reputation in Elishaer, which can be counteracted. However, he is still young after all, and he directly commands the emerging police force. It's not realistic yet, so we can only be in charge of the elite anti-riot mobile team. Therefore, I would also like to trouble you to recommend a person to be in charge of the police department." Lu Xi added.
He is probably half a year older than you. Besides, wouldn't it be excessive to recommend a candidate? Wouldn't a department like the police, which looks quite powerful at first sight, fall under the control of your best friend sooner or later?
Makarov couldn't help but slandered like this, but he heard Lu Xi say in a solemn and even serious manner: "I hope that the first person in charge of the Orachlan Field will be an upright and enthusiastic person who understands the law and is good at it." For those who manage disciplined forces, the culture of a department is largely established by its earliest officers. It is really hard to find such talented people. Although I trust your vision, it is difficult to find or communicate with others. It takes time. So, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Xi¡¯s attitude is very natural, just like a leader arranging the daily work of his subordinates. As a result, Makarov, who was already a little confused, became even more confused and could only nod mechanically and obey. After he left the office, it took a long time before he slowly came back to his senses. He felt a little dizzy for a while, and when he came to his senses, he broke out in a cold sweat.
This extraordinary spellcaster and master of covert operations, who is also just one enlightenment away from the legendary realm, actually feels that his legs are a little weak, and he seems to be trying his best to move his legs.He had no choice but to hold on to the wall and find a secluded place to sit down, taking a few deep breaths before slowly sorting out his current thoughts.
"So, am I let off? He actually continues to hand over such an important position to me? Are you not worried at all? I, I was promoted by Master Russell!"
Makarov knows very well that the Roshizi "Investigation Bureau" after the reorganization and merger will be far stronger than the previous Field Service Department in terms of power and functions. In a sense, he was even promoted.
¡°If he is not the thickest, most cunning and deceptive manipulator in history, he must be an unparalleled hero who is so open-minded and even arrogant.
But no matter which one it is, even if I really hand over the rest of my life, it won¡¯t be considered a shortage.
After Makarov left, Lu Xi knocked on the table and looked at Andriel who was the only one left in the room. Although the latter looked expressionless and motionless, he couldn't hold on for less than a minute. He simply blanked his eyes and his head, trying his best to disguise himself as a tool rack with no emotion.
"I've worked hard on you these past few days." Lu Xi suddenly said.
Lu Xi is really sincerely grateful to Andriel. In the past few days, Sexiliu was busy as his representative, and Andriel performed all the secretarial tasks perfectly, and even exceeded the quota. The proposal that will be launched in the Senate tomorrow was drafted by her; a series of personnel appointments and dismissals have her suggestions; for the organizational plan of the Investigation Bureau and the Police Department, Lu Xi only made a rough outline with her lips, and all the details were written by her. Completed.
Andriel had a straight face and seemed to want to make some arguments, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it turned into a wry smile: "That's all I can do for you and Sexiliu. Hey, that girl doesn't have Beating me to death is just to squeeze out the last bit of my use value, right? What a cruel girl! Such an innocent and kind-hearted girl back then has become like this, you should take full responsibility, right?"
"Well, I don't deny it. However, growth is inherently uncontrollable. With her sense of responsibility, it is perfect to become what she is now. At this time, it seems too much to say that she will not like her current life by nature. Too pretentious."
"You are right you are always right." Andriel sighed, showing an expression of realization: "Then, what are you going to do with me?"
Before Lu Xi could answer, Andriel continued: "You're not planning to kill me, are you? Otherwise you would have done it a few days ago. Maybe it's for Sexiliu's sake, or because you think I There is still some use However, if you want to expect me to be loyal, it would be too naive. No matter what you want to do, I just want to remind you that as long as I am alive, I will definitely be your hidden danger. sworn enemy!"
"Then you take your own cards too seriously. Not to mention me, even Sexiliu What do you think is the gap between you and her? Didn't the previous battle prove this result?" Lu Xi sneered.
Andril was speechless and had to admit that what the other party said was indeed very reasonable.
"I understand, you let me live because you want to keep a clown!" She gritted her teeth and thought, "I must fight with you", but she really couldn't figure out how to fight, and she suddenly became even more depressed. .
"So, are you interested in inheriting Master Russell's legacy?"
