The office building of the First Control Nanfunia branch is located in the city center. It was originally the small palace-like residence of the lord of Hungry Wolf City.
Lu Ming was helped into the conference room. He looked pale and seemed to be struggling to walk.
"Come, let's applaud the return of our heroes!" Sitting in the chairman's seat was the new minister, Brigadier General Dönitz, an old man in his fifties with deep, hawk-like eyes. He smiled and led the applause.
There was warm applause in the conference hall.
Before Lu Ming attended the meeting, he had been informed that he was appointed as the director of the Tenth Department.
The First Control South Fornia Branch has a total of ten departments. The tenth department is the Public Security Police Department. The director of the tenth department is also the director of the Public Security Police Station. His main job is to manage the public security police.
The public security police are all recruited from local people, but because they are directly under the management of the First Control and directly cooperate with the First Control to manage the public security of various urban areas and railway lines, their weapons and equipment are more sophisticated than those of the public security puppet army.
Of course, among the eleven departments of the headquarters, the status of the Tenth Department is not high.
The Military Police Department, Intelligence Department, Personnel Department, Audit Department, Operations Department, General Affairs Department, etc., any one of them is much more important than all ten.
There were ten department heads and the director of the secretariat in the conference room, and almost half of them were old faces.
Hendry was also given an important position and was appointed director of the Audit Department.
Perhaps Brigadier General Dönitz had a good relationship with Hendry's father, as Hendry directly called him uncle.
Candice was appointed as the director of the Intelligence Department and was also promoted compared to her time as Macaron.
Lu Ming and Hendry were transferred to South Fornia, but no new directors were assigned to the offices in Districts 3 and 4.
Brigadier General Dönitz meant that these two remote offices would be temporarily closed. Now the First Control would concentrate its efforts on ensuring the absolute safety of cities and villages within the railway line. "Everything is for the service of the Reston Plan!"
These were his original words, but he only mentioned the "Reston Plan" this time.
But the focus of the first control work he talked about next was indeed concentrated along the railway line.
Inspections of railway lines and thorough inspections of curfews in cities and villages.
When the meeting was about to end, Denitz looked at Lu Ming and said, "Bit, the public security police in the entire Southern Fornia area must be mobilized. The railway lines passing through the Southern Fornia area should be divided into sections, and public security police should be assigned to conduct regular patrols. If they encounter saboteurs, how to cooperate with the military to pursue them, you and Elmerly should discuss the relevant plans!"
Elmerli was a close confidant of Dönitz. He served as the director of the First Department, namely the Military Gendarmerie Department. He had the rank of colonel and was also the inspector general of the Wehrmacht Infantry Regiment in South Fornia.
After hearing what Denitz said, Lu Ming nodded slightly.
After the meeting, the General Affairs Director Merkel came over with a smile, handed Lu Ming an envelope, and said with a smile: "This is the temporary accommodation arranged for you, and the temporary settlement expenses."
As the chief logistics officer of the General Affairs Office, Merkel was of course brought by Dönitz, and was also the person that Candice hated.
Lu Ming opened the envelope and found a brand new key inside. On the keychain, it said room 508 of the New Fortune Hotel.
The top floor of the New Fortune Hotel, that is, the 5th floor, is all luxury suites.
During the Macaron era, short meetings were held in standard rooms, with department heads sharing two rooms.
Now that I am staying here for a long time, I have been allocated a luxury suite.
Looking at the resettlement fee, it is a check for 1,000 yuan.
Obviously, this is really a new style of work.
Lu Ming's gaze turned to Merkel's face. He was a harmless-looking little fat boy with a smile on his face.
From the perspective of colleagues, probably everyone likes the current atmosphere and Merkel's logistics manager in front of them.
Seeing that Lu Ming still needed someone to support him when leaving the venue, Merkel immediately caught up with him and said with concern: "Director Bit, it is very inconvenient for you to live now. Can I choose a few servants for you from the labor camp?" The so-called labor camp is a concentration camp, which is also under the management of the General Affairs Office.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "Thank you, but no thanks!"
Seeing that Lu Ming was putting a lot of effort into every sentence, Merkel stopped asking and smiled, "Okay, okay..."
…
The hotel has been unsealed, and the tragedy that happened a dozen days ago seems to have never happened.
In the reception room of the suite, several officials from the Public Security Police Department came to visit their new boss.
There is a deputy chief of police station named Wild Boar Luo, whose Western name is John. He looks as fat and ferocious as a wild boar.
The second deputy director, Hyakki Rao, whose Western name is Allen, is a tall and thin man who looks very sinister.
The third deputy director and captain of the security brigade, Giant Desert Luo (Jusha Luo), is a very strong middle-aged man.
Lu Ming is now somewhat familiar with the language of the Western Regions, at least he has done some research on names, so he remembers their names by literal translation instead of a bunch of gibberish which he cannot remember.
In addition to the three deputy directors, the reception room also contained several of the most important section chiefs of the police station, including the chief of the audit section, the chief of the criminal section, the chief of the railway police section, and the chief of the patrol section.
The director of the secretariat has already resigned, but even if he hadn't resigned he would have been replaced.
There are only translators nowadays, because the Sonya people do not value the old aristocrats. For example, in this police station, among the three deputy directors, only Bai Guiluo understands Western languages, not to mention the section chiefs, so translators are still necessary.
Because of Candice's existence, like Mrs. San Jin and others, Lu Ming felt that it was better for her not to be around him.
What's more, once you go deep into the tiger's den, you can do anything. Even if you die, it's just one life less. You still have three lives left.
But if Madam Sanjin and the others were still around, they would be killed if the plan failed.
Moreover, now that he is fighting in the heart of the enemy, if Madam Sanjin is still by his side, it will actually become his weak point. If anyone ever doubts him, Madam Sanjin and the others will become the best breakthrough point.
Therefore, it is best for him to be alone, especially when he is transmitting intelligence by himself, and he does not need any assistants at all. However, in this way he cannot give orders directly to the resistance forces, and he has to pass them on through Black Mountain Castle.
However, I from Japan will soon come to the Western Regions to take over the position of "Representative Li". In this way, I will be able to gain both internal and external influences. I will be the most efficient spy in human history, right
I just don't know whether we can successfully break the so-called Reston Plan that the Sonyans are currently pinning their hopes on.
While pondering these questions, Lu Ming said something else to several deputy directors and section chiefs. He required all public security police stations in the southern region to conduct a large-scale investigation in the villages along the railway in the near future. All towns and cities must register the permanent and floating population, and at the same time implement an identity card system to purify and distinguish the rebels active in towns and villages along the railway.
The translator named Gentleman Luo was translating quickly.
The phone suddenly rang rapidly. Lu Ming went to answer it. He was immediately shocked and asked repeatedly, "What? What?!"
However, the Public Security Police Department reported that several of the new director's confidants and companions in Baoyue City were attacked on their way to South Funia. Several were beaten to death and the rest were captured by the rebels.
Lu Ming slammed the phone down with a "bang" and waved his hand irritably, "Let's adjourn the meeting!" Then, as if his wound was hurt, he started coughing violently.
No one dared to say more and they all stood up and said goodbye.
…
In the evening, Merkel came to 408.
"Director Bit, please don't work too hard!"
Merkel took the report on applying for funding that Lu Ming had someone submit in the afternoon.
In order to issue identity cards in all towns and villages along the railway, regardless of whether they charge a fee or not, we naturally need a considerable amount of money first.
The General Affairs Office, which is under the First Control, actually also bears the function of financial approval. It’s just that the Audit Office will do the final audit and disburse the funds after approval. However, normally the funds approved by the General Affairs Office will not be blocked.
Looking at the expenses listed on the list, Merkel took out a pen, signed quickly, and handed the form to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming forced a smile and said, "Thank you very much for coming here in person."
"As you should. You shouldn't be too sad. I'm very sorry about what happened. In fact, your plan to use their tribal feud to divide them was originally a good idea." Merkel patted Lu Ming's shoulder, obviously knowing the sad news that Lu Ming's confidants were all killed.
There is no need to think about those people who were captured by the rebels. Their fate will be even more tragic. The rebels hate the traitors the most.
Lu Ming shook his head, "I want to rest early."
"Okay, okay!" Merkel stood up. "I'll come see you tomorrow."
Lu Ming felt helpless. In fact, from his impression, putting aside his hostile stance, he felt that Merkel was a really nice person, but Candice thought that this guy was the most disgusting.
It is obvious that Merkel is a hypocritical and vicious person with sweet words in her words.
