Beep beep, beep beep! The gentle yet urgent alarm rang through the entire Bureau of Proclamation. The staff in black suits raised their heads in astonishment and stared at the crystal screens in all directions of the building. Apart from the Empire's sudden attack last time, the Bureau of Proclamation hadn't issued a level one order in a long time. What exactly happened?
Amidst the alarm, the central computer's light screen began to flash again. A printed copy of the thesis and its analysis had already appeared directly on the Bureau of Proclamation's director's desk. The alarm that had already shocked the entire Bureau of Proclamation didn't cause the old man's expression to change in the slightest. He coldly glanced at the contents of the document, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
"After disappearing for twelve years, he finally showed his tail." The Bureau of Proclamation's director wasn't shocked by the name on the document. In his long life, who knew how many major events he had encountered. The director handed the document to the civil official beside him, stood up, and ordered, "Notify the President's Office and the Ministry of National Defense."
The civil official was a middle-aged man. He took down his windbreaker from the hanger and draped it over his immediate superior. His heart was slightly shocked. The alarm that rang through the Bureau of Proclamation was enough to prove that the current situation was determined by the central computer to be a level one incident. However, the director didn't seem to care. But if he really didn't care … why did he notify the President's Office and the Ministry of National Defense?
The Bureau of Proclamation's director leaned on his cane and walked along the quiet passageway toward the outside of the Bureau of Proclamation. The middle-aged civil official silently followed behind him. His eyes quickly swept over the document, and then he saw that name.
Yu Feng? Yu Feng!
The middle-aged civil official's pupils immediately constricted. He thought of the war from more than ten years ago, as well as the most shocking event of that war. It turned out that the central computer had found Yu Feng's whereabouts. No wonder the director immediately notified the President's Office and the Ministry of National Defense.
Back then, the former president swore in front of the cameras of the Federation's television station that he would definitely capture this traitor who colluded with the Empire and buried more than ten thousand elite soldiers of the Federation. The Ministry of National Defense, on the other hand, was under enormous pressure because of the appearance of such an unforgivable traitor in the military. If they were to find out that the mechanic, Yu Feng, was still alive and well in a certain street in Donglin District, the entire military would probably be enraged.
Through the portable communication device, he immediately notified the president's office and the Ministry of National Defense. The middle-aged civil servant took a few steps forward and stood behind the director. He said in a low voice, "The meeting is at two o 'clock in the afternoon."
"I'm going to play golf with someone this afternoon." The director waved his hand and continued to walk forward with the help of his crutch. He did not even stop walking. "The Bureau of Proclamation found the mechanic. As for whether the Department of Defense sent the army or the President sent the Special Task Force to capture him, what does that have to do with us? You will attend the meeting in my place this afternoon. "
The middle-aged civil servant was stunned. His current position was only the assistant to the director. According to the secret meeting of the Bureau of Proclamation, he had no right to speak on behalf of the Bureau of Proclamation. But out of habit, he did not object, nor would he fearlessly criticize the director for only thinking about playing golf under such circumstances. He calmly replied, "Yes, I understand."
The middle-aged civil servant respectfully watched the director's old but still tall figure disappear around the corner. Only then did he stand up straight. He was not surprised by the director's calmness or even indifference. He did not find it strange that the director ignored the joint meeting in the afternoon. It was because he knew that as the director of the Bureau of Proclamation, he had enough qualifications to look down on the aides in the president's office and the officials in the Ministry of National Defense. Moreover, the family behind the old director was one of the oldest and most respected among the Seven Great Families.
The old director of the Bureau of Proclamation sat on the battery-powered scooter behind the building. He tossed his crutch to his secretary and looked back at the building he had been in for many years. A trace of doubt and unease suddenly welled up in his heart. That mechanic, Yu Feng, was indeed the most famous traitor in the Federation's 300 years of history. But this kind of thing could have just been sent directly to the Ministry of National Defense, which had been accumulating anger for more than a decade. Why did the Central Computer have to send a first-level command?
A trace of inquiry flashed through the director's pair of deep and calm eyes. In the eyes of these important figures in the Federation's upper echelons, no matter what kind of heinous and earth-shattering things the mechanic, Yu Feng, had done in the past, he was still just a small character. He was not willing to spend any more time on this matter and stopped thinking about it.
Not long after he left the Bureau of Proclamation, in the Bureau of Proclamation's most heavily guarded central control room, the light screen was still flashing incessantly. In the empty room, there was a strange smell. A line of small words flashed on and off at the bottom of the light screen. There was no record of anything. The line of small words read:
"First-level target, re-entering vision."
…
…
At a quarter past twelve, an entirely black fleet of vehicles entered the Seventeen Research Institute in the outskirts of the capital. Under the shocked gazes of the bespectacled researchers, the staff of the Federation's Investigation Bureau sealed off the storage room and brought back the researcher, surnamed Chen, who had just graduated from university, for investigation. At the same time, the evidence serial number AW3278 was also carefully sealed. Meanwhile, the deputy director in charge of this matter also helplessly boarded the black car.
At two in the afternoon, a small meeting was held on the third floor of the Bureau of Proclamation. The middle-aged civil official who represented the director of the Bureau of Proclamation at the meeting distributed the documents to the heads of the various departments who were already in the know. Then, he calmly said, "The Central Computer has given a first-level command. Although it is a machine's analysis, there should be some logic to it. Although it has already been more than a decade, the Federation will definitely not allow any criminal to escape the punishment of the law, let alone the fact that Yu Feng committed the crime of treason. "
A colonel from the Ministry of National Defense said with a gloomy expression, "This is a disgrace to the military. The minister has instructed that this matter must be handled by the Ministry of National Defense."
"It's not a problem who is in charge." The president's office had only sent a mid-level official today. He looked at the colonel from the Ministry of National Defense and said seriously, "The key is to capture that person. Mr. President does not know about this matter for the time being. The security consultant believes that since this mechanic was a top student in the Military Academy and had many friends in the military, and because of these connections, he was able to escape … this arrest operation should still be handled by the Special Task Force, with the Ministry of National Defense assisting."
"Everyone's goal is the same, so there is no need for too much debate. Why don't we take a look at the plan of action drawn up by the Bureau of Proclamation?" The middle-aged civil official from the Bureau of Proclamation calmly pressed a button, and the plan appeared on the large screen on the wall.
"Although this mechanic is a minor character, if we want to capture him and bring him back to the capital for trial, it will not be so easy. The Central Computer recommends … this operation will be carried out by the Fourth Military Region of the West Woods, with the assistance of the East Woods Police Headquarters."
"The Fourth Military Region?" The colonel from the Ministry of National Defense nodded, very satisfied with this arrangement. Since it was a suggestion from the Bureau of Proclamation, the president's office would not have much of an opinion. "What if there is resistance?"
The official from the president's office said with a gloomy expression, "This mechanic is not only a disgrace to the military, but also to the entire Federation. If there is any resistance, kill without mercy."
