Chapter 211 04.0210: "The Gothic Fleet is not afraid of being hard-pressed, nor is it afraid of being hard-pressed"

“The solution we have proposed is that after the incident is over, let Military Inspector Farida Hud decide whether to stay in the Navy or in the Military Inspectorate.

If, she chooses to stay in the Military Inspectorate, we will assign her to the Disciplinary Squadron of the Gothic Fleet, and from the Squadron to the Fleet Security Committee.

So she was back here again.

What do you think of this solution? We'll let her make another choice."

Horatio knocked on the door of the Dean's office.

If he didn't go in, his suspicious appearance would be mistaken for an eavesdropper by the guards nearby.

"Come in." Brigadier General Peru's voice came from inside.

"Acting Lieutenant Horatio reports for duty."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw three naval inspectors in white uniforms sitting on one side of the sofa.

But unfortunately, the beautiful blonde girl is not in it.

This made Horatio somewhat disappointed.

Sitting in the middle was a female military supervisor in her thirties, a genuine red grade, the same rank as a naval brigadier general.

Her slender and heroic brows were tightly furrowed, with sharp wrinkles between her brows, like a female graduate student who was being scolded by professors but remained silent. She even looked a little aggrieved.

The features matched one by one, and she looked like the female military supervisor who took Farida to the Military Supervisory Bureau.

Even though he knew that the main fault was not hers, it could still be considered a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road, so naturally he was not in a good mood.

When he saluted, he only saluted formally to the colonel and Brigadier General Peru, and nodded slightly to the military supervisors as a token of understanding, and then ignored them, as if they were a piece of air.

Brigadier General Perroux stood on the balcony with his back to the interior.

Captain Elphinstone's face, which had been stern a moment ago, melted like a glacier, and immediately replaced with a smile and returned the salute.

His daughter Lina, who was sitting at a nearby desk, taking notes of the conversation, saw Horatio nod in greeting expressionlessly.

"Let the Hood family decide on this matter. We are not in charge of it. But we will remember the insults and unfair treatment the Imperial Navy has suffered! This matter is not so easy to turn the page.

Please remember, fellow military supervisors, our Imperial Navy Gothic Fleet never accepts tough situations, nor are we afraid of them! "

"Hard? Who is tougher than that traitorous bandit leader? Even if that bastard Abaddon comes, he will be in big trouble. What can the Inquisitor do?" The captain snorted coldly.

The female military supervisor had a gloomy face, her abdomen slightly sank, and she sighed: "Then we will take our leave first, Your Excellencies."

She stood up, saluted the three men, and walked out dejectedly with two grim-faced military supervisors, as if relieved.

Judging from this situation, this incident seems to have damaged the relationship between the Imperial Navy and the Abyss Port Military Inspectorate.

But Horatio knew that these ordinary personnel transfer disputes would not become too serious in the end.

It won't even reach the Star Domain Security Department. At most, there will be some verbal battles between the Gothic Fleet's Discipline Squadron and the Gothic Fleet Headquarters.

Because the captains need military inspectors to ensure the morale and discipline of their warships, and they are also responsible for the undignified execution work.

After all, these men and women were the third seat on the captain's left, and the fleet would not completely break with them.

But the Military Supervision Bureau was so humble that it sent a special commissioner to mediate and "seek peace".

The Gothic Fleet has actually regained its ground and given a severe warning to those who wanted to challenge the real power of the fleet, ensuring that their interests would not be further damaged.

After all this commotion, the Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer named William Carter, who wanted to investigate the Gothic fleet that had been twisted into a piece of gold and steel, would probably return home with a bruised face and a black eye.

"So, has there been any progress in the investigation?" asked the captain, who was wearing a white wig, with a smile.

"Yes, Your Excellency, here is a list. The Military Intelligence Department and the Security Committee can begin to investigate first."

His daughter, Lina, stood up tactfully, adjusted the gold monocle on her eye socket, and walked to Horatio's side.

The girl's brows were slightly frowned, and her big, cold eyes on her small face stared at his eyes closely. The monocle added a hint of cold, intellectual mystery to her gaze.

As she stood before Horatio and took the document, she whispered:

"When you go out, wait for me at the corner on the right side of the road for ten minutes. I have something to ask you."

Horatio's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Although the person in front of him was just an assistant clerk girl who didn't even have a military rank, Horatio felt as heavy as if he was being tortured.

He swallowed his suddenly dry throat and replied in a low voice:

"No problem, miss."

Lina walked over to her father with the document and handed it to him.

"The people involved in these lists include senior priests in the state religion, children of the Shangchao nobles, and wealthy people in the merchant guild. These people seem to be members of a 'club'. Lieutenant General Hood's spies found that these people would regularly go to a private club to participate in some kind of activities."

The colonel frowned, and Brigadier General Peru stood behind him. The two men had serious expressions and were discussing the information in the document in a low voice.

"This list involves a wide range of people."

The captain let out a long sigh and pointed at the information inside and said to Brigadier General Peru: "We have to use the most advanced military reconnaissance and monitoring equipment to monitor the communications of these dignitaries, while ensuring that we are not discovered."

"The Military Intelligence Command will secretly set up a special task force starting tomorrow. I will have the intelligence officers assigned here implement level one containment measures in the coming period. They must not leave their homes and live in the Navy Fortress. This will help prevent the leakage of our investigation intelligence as much as possible."

"I will also work as a matchmaker between the middle and lower nests, and try to connect these clues in the shortest possible time."

"I'll go and make the arrangements first." Brigadier General Peru saluted everyone else in the office and strode out.

The captain continued to examine the documents.

"By the way, Mr. Horatio Cochrane, I hope Miss Hood's matter will not affect your work too much. The Navy Department is handling this matter, and the Military Inspectorate has made certain concessions."

"Of course it won't affect you. Thank you for your concern, Principal."

"Besides, I happen to have a mission here that needs to be carried out by the Special Operations Division." The captain looked up at Horatio:

"Some tabloids are printing and spreading false statements about this incident, and the rumors are getting darker and darker. For the sake of sales, they even say that the fleet is engaged in a bloody political struggle. This has had a serious impact on the public relations work of the Navy Department. We have no choice but to respond to this and be led by public opinion.

I suspect this is also a conspiracy by the forces behind the scenes to distract our attention and waste our energy.

I have sent many naval guards to shut down the source of these rumors, but these small printing houses are hidden in various corners and are difficult to find, especially in the Vegas area where there are all kinds of people and lack of control.

Can your mid- and lower-nest intelligence network detect these dens and hand them over to the Admiralty Guard? It would be even better if you could find out whether this is an organized and premeditated public opinion smear campaign or just gossip for the sake of sales.

Once this matter is dealt with, the Naval Guard will be able to devote more energy to participating in and assisting the Special Warfare Command in possible military operations.

In addition, part of the stability maintenance funds of the star zone navy department has been allocated to the security committee.

I plan to allocate 1.6 million from it to the Special Warfare Division as operational funds. For a new department in its infancy, this should be more than enough to handle daily activities.

You can use the extra money to buy new resources for the Special Warfare Division. If it's not enough, ask again. What do you think?"

"Thank you for your training, sir! The Special Operations Division has just been established and we are broke. Our superiors don't know what we actually need. If we apply for each item according to the administrative procedures, I'm afraid we will be completely in the dark during the investigation and miss the opportunity. We need to hurry up and do everything quickly."

“No problem, everything is based on efficiency, and the Navy Department is also competing with other departments in this matter.

If you need other resources, as long as the Fleet Security Committee has them, you can come to me and ask directly. I will give you special approval and save you the time of going through the application process to do practical things. "

"Thank you very much, Captain!"

Horatio was relieved, he had been worrying about this matter this morning.

Secretary Bernard was the first to discover the problem. The newly established Special Operations Division only had a framework, and many of the responsibilities were vaguely defined. There was a lack of corresponding administrative division of powers, and there was no "green card" commonly found in key departments to speed up the processing of administrative affairs.

After some things were reported to the Ministry of the Interior, the bureaucrats of the Ministry of the Interior did not give special treatment to the application of the Special Operations Command.

Like the documents from other ordinary departments, they are squeezed in the regular document processing channel, waiting indefinitely for the civil servants of the corresponding department to process them.

In the eyes of the rigid Ministry of the Interior, the Special Warfare Department was just an unremarkable new sub-department of the Navy Department, and the applications submitted there were not given a higher priority than those from other departments.

But Horatio had to race against time in the investigation competition, and after submitting his application, he could only look at the "pending" instruction from the Ministry of the Interior and feel anxious.

However, the Gothic Fleet Security Committee is a multi-departmental joint agency.

It is also affiliated with the Gothic Fleet and the Gothic Fleet's Disciplinary Squadron, and has administrative jurisdiction and guidance over the First Bureau of the Abyss Port Military Inspectorate, namely the Naval Military Inspectorate, and is one of its superior departments.

Now that the Fleet Security Committee is willing to share resources and give the Special Warfare Command the administrative green light, many things will be much easier.

Maybe even faster than his opponents in the Naval Inspectorate. In this regard, he believed in the actual power of the Fleet Headquarters.
