Public trial?You deserve it too!

Nicholas clenched his fists in his heart. Sure enough, the emperor meant it. He was gradually losing trust now, and naturally he couldn't get much help from the emperor—but Claude was different!

This person is very popular now, and the emperor obviously intends to pave the way for his position in the army. Unlike himself, the other party must be able to obtain a lot of resources and strength.

The meaning of the emperor is now very obvious. It is not that Claude becomes his deputy, but that he becomes Claude's assistant, and uses his ability in intelligence agents to assist the other party to start the purge of the entire empire!

Claude was stunned for a moment, apparently he hadn't expected this. He was just trying to pretend he didn't understand the information before, so he was polite to the emperor, saying that he didn't have the ability to take over the intelligence agency, but he used the emperor's tiger skin to clean it up. The capabilities of intelligence agencies are still there, and they are still very large.

Now the Emperor is really going to clean it himself... that's fine too.

Claude immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint Your Majesty's trust."

"Okay, then you will temporarily take the post of director of the first department of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. You can check the personnel and directory of the first department one by one. I hope that you can work with Sir Nicholas to make the Imperial Intelligence has 'a new look'."

The emperor nodded and issued the appointment.

The two men were surprised. Claude didn't expect that after pulling the tiger's skin for so long, he finally entered the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, while Nicholas was surprised that the emperor didn't give Claude any other information. support.

"The minister leads the order."

Regarding Nicholas' doubts, in fact, Claude already had a guess in his mind. Obviously, there is something tricky in this part of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

With the emperor's consistent attitude, he would never ask people to do things that cannot be done, and he wanted to clean up the Imperial Intelligence Bureau himself. In addition to the original Ninth Knights in his hands, he only gave a chief Obviously, he thinks that with these two, he can already complete the task.

Well, the people on Nicola's side have been ignored by Claude...

"That's how it is. Let Sir Nicholas take you to meet Siegfried of the Second Office and get familiar with the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. Later, I will send someone to take you to the First Office."

The two bowed and saluted, and exited the imperial study room.

-------------------------------------------------- ---

Claude and Nicholas had nothing to say all the way, and left Miyagi in a hurry.

"Knight Claude, this cleansing is a matter of life and death for me, and there are not many people in my hands that can be used, so this time I must rely on your strength, and I will assist you .”

As soon as Nicholas came up, he put his posture very low.

"Your Excellency Nicholas, you are being polite. This time you are the chief envoy, and I don't know anything about the methods and personnel of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. I need to follow your instructions."

Claude was polite. After all, the other party could be regarded as his friend's father, and he had also been the emperor's confidant for decades.

Nikolai just shook his head.

"Knight Claude doesn't need to comfort me like this. Now I just hope that I can have a good death. This is the best ending-as for the rest, I will leave it to my son. I still have great confidence in Randolph .”

Claude nodded.

"Randolph is my friend and my arm. I will not let his talent be buried."

This sets the tone. The translation of this passage is that Nicholas will fully assist Claude in this operation, and he will not take credit at all. In return, Claude will give Randolph himself An important position under his command.

"Is there anything else that Knight Claude hasn't explained? If it's okay, why don't you go to the Imperial Intelligence Bureau's station in the imperial capital with me first. There, I will give you a general introduction to the Intelligence Bureau first, Claude."

Nicholas smiled meaningfully and extended his hand to invite.

"I can't ask for it."

Claude nodded with a smile, motioned for his personal guard to take his horse and follow behind, and then stepped into Nicholas' carriage.

The two sat down, and Nicholas closed all the small windows and doors.

"There is still a way to go. If Knight Claude has any questions, you can ask me."

"Please just call me Claude—then I'm not going to be polite, Director Nicholas, what His Majesty said just now really made me a little puzzled, why didn't you take me to a part of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, but Your Majesty Send someone over there to pick me up somewhere?"

Claude directly asked the question that puzzled him the most. He was eager to get some information from Nicholas.

"Because a stronghold is not located in the intelligence bureau, but in the palace."

Of course, it is impossible for Nicholas not to know what is going on in one place.

"Claude, you were not a member of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau before, so you may not know the division of labor within the Intelligence Bureau - one is as a clerical office, recording the existence of the entire Imperial Intelligence Bureau's internal personnel and intelligence compilation."

Seeing that Claude seemed to be quite interested in this, Nicholas did not hide it, but began to explain the responsibilities and positions of the various branches of the Imperial Intelligence Agency in very detail.

One is the clerical office, which is set up in Miyagi, and the appointment and removal of personnel are all decided by the royal family.

The second office is the Imperial Capital Office, which is responsible for the counter-espionage and noble management within the Imperial Capital, and the person in charge is Siegfried.

The third is the Empire Office, which is responsible for information on the west, south, and noble territories of the Empire, except for the imperial capital. The person in charge is now Nicholas.

The four places are the Theocracy Office, which is responsible for the intelligence collection of the Theocracy, and the person in charge is Humphrey.

The Fifth Office is the Eastern Expedition Office, which is responsible for the intelligence collection of the southeast region and Constantine. They sent the Wallachia information to Claude before, but because of the small actions of the Theocracy, the work site of this office It has basically been returned to the fourth place, and it is also jokingly called the pension place internally.

The sixth office is the business alliance office, which is responsible for the intelligence collection of the business alliance.

The collection of counter-espionage and war intelligence in the north and east is the responsibility of the military intelligence group under the Ministry of War, not the jurisdiction of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

Claude nodded lightly, as he had guessed, the Empire's most important military trident did not appear in the Empire's Intelligence Bureau, instead it was an organization in the army. Obviously, the emperor originally planned to go from north to south Reconquer the Empire.

Four places, five places, and six places are all a bit of an addition—because the empire can become the only designated overlord of the mainland as long as it farms with peace of mind, so it is impossible for the emperor, and there is no need to rely too much on information from these areas. These are all better, It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist.

The infiltration of the three places should be expected by the empire. Judging from the emperor's performance today, the so-called clerical office, which has been established in the palace and cannot be directly controlled by the director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, is used to counter and Clean up the three places - immediately Claude will be able to see what kind of existence is on the other side.

What is more regrettable should be the second office in charge of the imperial capital, which was originally a part that the emperor attached great importance to, but unfortunately, the second office still failed to avoid the infiltration of the Theocracy. Like Director Gula, he has lost the trust of the emperor.

It's a pity, I still think that person is not bad.

The Burning World: Chapter 236 Chapter 220

The carriage stopped at a place that Claude was somewhat familiar with.

This is the place where Claude drank coffee for the first time in the imperial capital three years ago - the person who invited him was Siegfried, the second director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

"Let's go, let's meet Director Siegfried first."

Nicholas and Claude walked into the Intelligence Bureau resident side by side.

There was no need to report, the two went straight to the office of the director of the second division, and knocked on the door.

"Director Nicholas, Knight Claude."

Siegfried was obviously a little surprised, and was a little confused by the combination in front of him—it was nothing but the director, why did Claude follow?

Even if he needs information, he should go to the military intelligence team of the Ministry of War, right?Coming here is a bit taboo.

"Director Siegfried, this Knight Claude, is the newly appointed chief of the first department by His Majesty, and together with me, is responsible for the review of the entire Imperial Intelligence Bureau."

Nicholas didn't say anything polite, and explained the current situation straight to the point.

"After I took over the three offices, I found that the situation was completely out of control. Now the Imperial Intelligence Bureau is no longer the most loyal eagle dog of His Majesty the Emperor - we must solve this problem immediately!"

That's right, except for a few leaders in the entire Imperial Intelligence Bureau, the rest are either trash or traitors——

Wouldn't the codename of Nicholas, the director of the Intelligence Bureau, be Qin Bar?

While Claude was groping nonchalantly in his heart, Siegfried showed a friendly smile, stretched out his hand and shook him.

"That's how it is..."

Siegfried sighed.

Of course he knew what Nicholas meant. After all, his Second Office was also facing this problem—without the emperor's trust, it was only a matter of time before they went to the guillotine.

The woman served coffee to the three people, and then left in a very sensible way, leaving only three people in the entire office.

"First of all, congratulations on becoming a chief, Claude Knight, I didn't expect that when we meet again, we will already be colleagues."

Siegfried was polite first, and then the worry on his face never disappeared.

"I know what you mean, Director. You probably want to recruit some reliable people from me, right? But I really can't do anything about this—because I can't guarantee the loyalty of most of my subordinates. Everything must Just wait for the results of the review.”

He sighed.

"The first is the assassination that Knight Claude encountered. We caught some people that night, but the people who participated were all wandering knights. There is no way to continue to find out who instigated it, so we can only try first. Internal review."

"A few people were caught, but they were all middle- and lower-level people, and their uplines were also dug out, but the worse thing is that when we checked down, we found a lot of unclear things-the bottom line The informants were heavily bribed, which caused a backlash, and a large number of people were quarantined for review."

Nicholas frowned. This kind of reverse pollution method is actually very common. It is purely used to disturb the sight by splashing dirty water. Everyone knows that informants have milk and mothers. It doesn’t matter usually, as long as the review The received information is fine, but in a special period like now, it has become a time bomb.

Because it is impossible to determine whether the people in control of these informants have also defected, but they cannot be ignored, so they can only be suspended from their positions and then reviewed.In the case of checking information online, it is equivalent to a rat droppings spoiling a pot of porridge. As long as there is a problem with one person below, the entire line has to go through the procedure to check.

This kind of review is actually not slow, but the problem is that in the case of a sudden blowout growth, the entire number of people in the second office is squeezed out in an instant.

The censorship needs people, and the area in the hands of the person being interrogated must be taken over by someone. Regardless of whether the person sent out or the person in charge of the censorship, their own loyalty must first be evaluated-otherwise they will be rotten under mutual protection. Big hair.

Not to mention that two middle-level people were arrested in the second office itself—even Nicholas suspected that these people were exposed on purpose. to the next review.

Therefore, although the current situation of the second office is not as bad as that of the third office, under the current situation, if another manpower is transferred from the second office, Siegfried will really make it difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"You should be able to imagine the situation on my side, so if I need a trustworthy person right now, I probably only have my adjutant Favna to hand over to you."

Siegfried said half helplessly, half jokingly.

"No, I don't like to use other people's wives' methods."

Nicholas said angrily.

"If it's not right now, in half a month at most, I can squeeze out a hundred and ten people, and there will be more if I put it a little longer-I believe that most of my soldiers should just be splashed with sewage, etc. After the review is over, everyone will definitely return to work, and then they will be able to draw people."

This time Siegfried had some confidence.

But Nicholas shook his head—believe it or not, he told the emperor to wait a month before leaving, and the emperor can kill him now.

The director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau sighed, there was really no one from the Second Office, so we could only look at Claude.

"Forget it, let's deal with the matter on your side first - the second is the most important, Siegfried, it is not unreasonable for the imperial capital to be ranked before the empire. I don't need your support here, Slow down a little, check more carefully, understand?"

Nicholas exhorted.

"Yes, I understand."

Siegfried nodded solemnly. Of course he knew how heavy the responsibility was on his shoulders. Now he and Nicholas were walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff.

"Then Claude and I will leave first - I may not be in the imperial capital next time, so you can act as my agent for the time being."

"Yes, Chief."

All three stood up, and after greeting each other, Nicholas took Claude away. Siegfried looked at the two people who disappeared in the corridor and sighed.

"What happened again?"

The woman's worried voice sounded.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

Siegfried forced a smile to comfort his wife.

"It's just that I want to represent the director's affairs, so you have to be more responsible for the second office."

Favna couldn't help but tighten her grip on Siegfried's hand. She had already thought about what she needed to do next—but she immediately covered it up.

"...We're still getting deeper and deeper in Imperial Intelligence, Chigurh..."

"This is something that can't be helped. After all, the emperor's kindness is hard to bear. I also made up my mind when I took this position back then."

Siegfried shook Favna's hand comfortingly.
