Arknights is too real, right?

In the office of Chief Yaerlin.

Xia Feng was slightly surprised when he heard that he was going to be given a task.

Although he is now a noble and a member of the Yuan Council, he has never had any position in the imperial government from beginning to end. To put it bluntly, he is neither an official nor a soldier.

In fact, most members of the Yuan Council are like this.

Nobility is just a status, but it does not have any administrative powers, only noble privileges.

In their own fiefdoms, local nobles have the responsibility to supervise local officials and the security bureau, but they are only supervision and cannot interfere.

Now that Chief Yaerlin wants to give him a task, then this is not a job, but a favor. In other words, he has the right to refuse.

Of course, the specifics still depend on what the so-called task is.

Xia Feng nodded slightly.

"Mr. President, I wonder what the mission is?"

Ya'erlin has always felt very approachable, and he has never felt pressured by a superior person.

He said with a kind smile.

"Xia Feng, you don't need to call me chief in private, let alone sir. If you don't mind, you can call me uncle. Hehe, at my age, this shouldn't be taken advantage of you."

This is the Imperial Administration Building, and Inspector General Kapelwamy is sitting next to him. Yarlin actually said that this was "in private". This is completely because he does not regard Kapelwami as a "person".

Hearing that Yaerlin valued Xia Feng so much, Kapewami just looked gloomy and said nothing.

Xia Feng knew about the relationship between Yaerlin and Wei Na, and also understood Yaerlin's intention to get closer to him. Although they had not interacted with each other before, in the final analysis, they were their own people.

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful, Uncle Arlin."

"good."

Xia Feng glanced at Kapewami beside him, then turned to face Yaerlin.

"Uncle Yaerlin, I wonder what task you want to give me?"

Arlin casually took out a document from under the table.

"Don't be nervous. It's not a dangerous mission. Maybe it's an opportunity for you to show off your abilities."

After saying that, Yaerlin handed the document to Xia Feng.

Holding the document, three big words were written on the first page.

【Appointment letter】

There is another line below.

[The Administrative Department of the Victoria Empire appointed Xia Feng, a third-level noble in the south, as the director of the Independent Operations Division of the Supervision Office. His main duties are to respond to incidents within the empire including but not limited to infected person disputes, crimes, conflicts, riots and other incidents. 】

The Imperial Inspectorate, Victoria’s highest level political and legal agency.

It is divided into five functional departments.

They are the Law Enforcement Supervision Department, the Administrative Investigation Department, the Security Management Department, the Safety Prevention and Control Department, and the Comprehensive Management Department.

The five functional departments of the Supervisory Office cover almost all political and legal matters in the entire Victoria Empire except war.

Such as the imperial judicial organs, procuratorial organs, public security organs, judicial administrative organs, national security organs, anti-cult agencies, armed guard forces, etc.

If the four major military regions are the sharp swords used by the empire to prevent foreign enemies from invading, then the Supervisory Office is the short sword used to pacify the interior.

In addition to the permanent military police stationed in the security bureaus of major cities in the country, the law enforcement team of the Supervisory Office has more than 40,000 police officers. Unlike the military, the law enforcement team of the Supervisory Office is more flexible in a sense, both in terms of ability and experience. In terms of authority, authority and loyalty, they are all the elite among the elite.

Looking at the appointment letter in front of him, Xia Feng was in a daze.

"this?"

Chief Arlin explained with a smile.

"Based on the current national conditions and after discussions with the Imperial Administration Department, I have decided to set up a new department in addition to the existing five departments of the Inspectorate, tentatively named the Special Operations Division, with the function of specifically handling the cases of infected persons within the territory. .”

Xia Feng didn't know much about the composition of the Supervision Office, and for a while he didn't quite understand the position of the Special Operations Division.

"But... I have no experience."

"No, what you lack is just law enforcement experience, but to deal with and solve infected cases, the entire Supervision Office can't find a more suitable candidate than you, because you are an infected person yourself."

Xia Feng was still a little unsure.

"But how am I going to deal with it? Aren't the troops more experienced?"

Yaerlin's kind expression showed seriousness for once.

"No, what I want is not just simple force suppression and extreme measures, but real handling, solution, prevention, and aftermath. This department is the highest symbol of rights for such incidents. You can even construct a reasonable one through your own ideas. I have just discussed the method of punishment with Master Wami, and he will cooperate with you."

After listening to Chief Yaerlin's words, Xia Feng suddenly realized.

What functions and experience are all a matter for later. He just needs to be clear now. What Chief Yaerlin wants to give him at this moment is genuine rights!

Overriding the local security bureau, the Imperial Inspection Office has the highest authority to handle cases of infected people!

In the past, this power was almost shared between the Office of Supervision and the military. Incidents of infected persons that the local military police could not handle would be reported to the Office of Supervision. If the Office of Supervision judged that the incident was serious, it would request military support.

The handling method is also very simple, which is simple and crude use of force.

Although the military will definitely win in the end, the losses in the process will also be huge. After all, some infected people will use Originium skills.

But now, perhaps the higher-ups of the empire have discovered that the number of infected people in Victoria is increasing, so this authority must be independent and be handled by "experts".

After quickly clarifying the logical relationship, Xia Feng had no reason to refuse.

Chief Yaerlin will not harm him. Not only will he not harm him, this appointment is almost like peeling the candy and feeding it to his mouth.

All I can say is that she is indeed Weina’s “maternal family”. This is a way of leaving no room for outsiders.

Moreover, even if you put aside the connections, just based on ability and experience, he is very consistent. The only thing that is a little bit unexpected is that he rose too high at once.

Yaerlin is the chief administrative officer of the empire. No matter how powerful the Supervision Office is, it is not the army. As long as it is not the army, it is all under the control of the chief administrative officer.

Faced with this appointment, Kapewami could not refute it in any case. He could only watch as Yaerlin stuffed Xia Feng into his "bed".

However, although this appointment is very fragrant, Xia Feng is still a little hesitant.

Seeing that Xia Feng didn't agree immediately, Yaerlin asked.

"Xia Feng, do you have any concerns? Tell them and we can discuss them."

In front of Kapewami, Xia Feng said unabashedly.

"If I become the director of the Special Operations Division, wouldn't I become Lord Wami's subordinate? I'm a rather petty person, and I'm afraid that Lord Wami will deliberately cause trouble for me."

In front of the two high-ranking officials of the empire, Xia Feng's words can be said to be quite straightforward.

Kapewami's expression was very ugly. He was obviously very old, but he still had to be squeezed out by his juniors.

I saw him leaning on the chair and snorting heavily.

"Huh, this is the decision of the administrative department. I am a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. I am not naive enough to compete with you at work."

"Tch, then who knows."

"Whether you want to do it or not, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

Hearing Xia Feng's concerns, Chief Yaerlin nodded in understanding and then explained.

"Xia Feng, don't worry. Although the Special Operations Division is a functional department under the Supervision Office, it will be independent of the Supervision Office in terms of power. It also has the right to call in the military to cooperate with a certain operation. It belongs to the Supervision Office and the General Military Headquarters. As a co-founder, you can rest assured that you just keep doing it, and as long as there is no problem with your work, no one will interfere with you."

At the end, Yaerlin added a sentence, which seemed to be meant for Kapewami.

"After all, this appointment is what Princess Weilin meant."
