Chapter 474

The exchange between Ye Zhou and Chen Hao finally set the tone for the official attitude towards the pastoral organization. Just two hours later, a comprehensive investigation and crackdown campaign against the pastoral organization was launched across the country.

A week later, in a certain command room in the imperial capital.

The newly established Imperial City Branch of the Urban Rapid Response Force, which specializes in targeting Pastoral Organizations and other illegal organizations, is conducting a tactical discussion. Team leader Qin Chuan stood in front of the big screen and introduced the basic situation of the operation.

". Now we have sufficient evidence that the pastoral organization is in collusion with the representative of overseas castrationism, the 'Natural Sect'. They have planned a sabotage operation against key projects in the near future --- currently it is speculated that it is within two weeks. It is to magnify the negative effects of these projects, thereby arousing public aversion to such projects."

"We don't know what the targets they have chosen for the time being, but judging from the current situation, the most likely to be selected are several large-scale infrastructure projects including the expansion project of National Highway 318. The list is shown on the screen."

"According to relevant experts' speculation, their main strategies may include but are not limited to creating engineering accidents, amplifying human-land disputes, hyping up ecological impacts, inciting religious sentiments, etc. At the same time, considering the worst case scenario, we cannot rule out these engineering projects Members of the pastoral organization have infiltrated."

"That is to say, we are in a very passive position right now."

"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. We don't know anything about their identities, strategies, and goals, but we must intercept their actions based on existing conditions."

After listening to his words, one of the players below raised his hand and asked:

"Is there no result in the investigation of suspicious personnel in the brother unit in the early stage?"

Qin Chuan shook his head and replied:

"No. What we are looking for now is not a suspect, but a member of a loose organization established in a distributed and decentralized form. Its members basically have legal identities, and their behavior rarely deviates from the daily track. The criminal investigation methods we use are basically useless on them."

"To give a very simple example, under the current technical conditions, even if we want to find a black household with no identity at all, it is easy for us to identify whether an ordinary person is a populist, an elitist, or a radical. The Industrial Party is basically impossible, because such a definition will not leave any records on any platform, and it relies on purely spiritual qualities to maintain it."

"The Pastoral is such an organization. Most of the time, you don't even feel the existence of this organization at all, but people who believe in his theory do gather together. They are like those fan circles on the Internet. Small groups, it's a headache."

"What's even more detrimental to us is that the key information of the Pastoral organization is in the hands of the upper echelon, and almost all upper echelons will not communicate information about the Pastoral through the Internet or telephone, which makes our technical means completely ineffective."

"Even if they can locate their lower-level members, the information they monitor is extremely limited—it can be said that the information is completely fragmented, and we have no way to piece together a complete clue for him."

The team members below nodded and continued to ask:

"Their upper layer always wants to pass information to the lower layer. Do we have this way?"

"Yes, but it's very limited. That's the problem. We're in the cold start phase now, and we don't have enough clues to support us to go deeper—but as long as we can take this step, they won't be able to do it again." Jumped up."

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, everyone in the conference room immediately understood what he meant.

What the quick response team lacks now is an entry point, and what it lacks is a sharp knife that can tear a hole in the fog around the pastoral organization.

To the quick response team, the current pastoral organization is like a pickpocket completely hidden in the crowd, and it is almost impossible to find him before he actually makes a move.

"Did the few people caught before not be interrogated?"

"The information that comes out of the trial is all useless information that won't touch the upper echelon. The Tongtianhe project is now what the people want, and they won't rashly take action on this project. The previous sabotage actions were just tests, and all those that were thrown out were discarded."

"Can the undercover get through?"

"It's too slow, it's not timely, we can't afford to wait."

"Then there is really no way, unless we sacrifice a project to lure them out."

The team member who spoke spread his hands and leaned on the chair helplessly.

In fact, from his point of view, the core appeal of this mission is to arrest people. As long as people can be caught, all subsequent problems can be easily solved.

But the problem is that the most difficult part of the task is to catch people. In the absence of any reliable clues, it is even more difficult to find the target person by speculation alone than to find a needle in a haystack.

You must know that they have never carried out any illegal activities on a large scale, and discussions at the core level are limited to face-to-face situations where they cannot be monitored.

This opponent is extremely cautious. Before the organization has gained absolute influence, they would rather do nothing and give priority to ensuring their own survival.

"If you can't find a way, think of a way. Of course it's okay to use a project to lure them, but the problem is, we don't know if they will throw out the same abandoned children as those lower-level members in the Tongtianhe project in the early stage."

"Judging from the current situation, their organization has a large number of members, and it is completely possible to use one batch and give up one batch. Are we going to bet on the probability? Bet on being able to pry something out of the mouth of the person caught this time ?”

Seeing the embarrassing expressions on the team members' faces, Qin Chuan sighed deeply.

As the commander-in-chief of the operation, he naturally understands the difficulty of this mission better than others. If they follow the normal case-handling process, they should collect evidence step by step, investigate the suspects one by one, and finally locate the key clues for arrest. .

Such a process is highly accurate and safe, but the problem is that it is too slow.

The speed of development of the pastoral organization --- of course, this was also affected by the government's previous drastic reform actions. A large number of elites who were dissatisfied with this turned into pastoral members, which in disguise promoted the growth of this organization.

Now, they are about to launch the first challenge to the existing order, and their side has no reliable clues at all.

It's not that he hasn't thought about arresting all the people who may have problems, but if he does this, how many people will be arrested?

Thousands of people?Tens of thousands of people? 10 people?
Under the current social environment, such a move will have a major impact on the already fragile social order.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan frowned almost into a ball.

His eyes swept over the team members who bowed their heads in contemplation, and when he was about to speak, a bearded and somewhat unkempt player said:
"It's really not possible, let's start from the outside."

Qin Chuan turned his gaze to him and said:

"Tell me in detail."

The team member sat up straight, coughed and replied:

"Everyone, you see, I think so."

"From my previous experience dealing with various groups outside, they are generally less cautious than domestic groups."

"We have now confirmed that the pastoral organization is connected with the natural sect, so how do they connect? It must not be the Internet——otherwise we have already monitored it."

"Theoretically speaking, it should be through the connectors set up in the territory."

"Of course, this connector will not be fixed, but it doesn't matter."

"The pastoral people don't use the Internet in the country, but the natural sects use the Internet outside the country; the pastoral sects don't organize large-scale gatherings, but the natural sects do; all connections between the pastoral songs are one-way, but the natural sects are definitely two-way Yes; the current influence of pastoral songs is still weak, but natural sects have begun to speak out on a large scale in the public sphere.”

"So, if we can get the core information of the Natural Sect, then it is very possible that we can follow the clues to catch the pastoral members who are connected with them, and further, we can use these contacts to decipher the structure of the entire pastoral organization."

"According to previous information, we now have about two weeks. As long as we break through the natural sect within a week, the problem of the pastoral organization will be solved."

Hearing his words, Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

This is a good idea, but the problem is.
"How are you going to deal with the natural sect? We have no way to engage in large-scale overseas operations."

"We don't need to do it, they have plenty of enemies."

"For example, Hermes?"

One hour later, on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, Hermes headquarters.

Bruce Conn looked at the letter that had just been delivered, with a smile on his face.

He had waited too long for this moment.

Before receiving this letter, all his and Hermes' actions were considered illegal, fanatical, and even anti-social. Even if the official would not take the initiative to interfere, they generally kept a distance from him with extreme caution. .

Such a situation has led to an extremely difficult situation for the Hermes organization. The funds raised in the early stage have almost been exhausted, and the confidence of the personnel is also declining-after all, before joining Hermes, the members felt that what they were doing was Just cause, but then what?

Is a cause that is not recognized a just cause?
However, starting today, the situation will change dramatically.

The Hermes organization has received an application for a cooperative investigation from a non-governmental organization in China.

Bruce understands the meaning behind this common-named non-governmental organization too well. To be recognized by such a group at least proves that his direction is correct.

Of course, the other party didn't want to reveal their identity, and the purpose of cooperating with their own side was to fight against natural sects and pastoral organizations, but what did it matter?

Hermes is an extremely sharp knife, as long as it is held by the right person, he will not mind how to use it.

What's more, according to Bruce's experience, the person who wants to hold the knife now is an experienced knight. Compared with himself, the other party knows how to use the smallest effort to cut through the enemy's armor and cut off the enemy's body. throat.

Therefore, he did not hesitate at all.

After the power was restored, the entire Hermes organization moved quickly under his dispatch, and their goal was only one:
The headquarters of the natural sect organization located in a neutral country.

The task is very difficult and the time is limited, but fortunately, Hermes can do whatever it takes.
