Chapter 657 Fast Fleet

As the Security Committee entered the questioning process of the Thunder General's special recruitment appointment case, the atmosphere in the meeting room not only did not ease, but became even more tense.

Ideen Kingman was still furious and filled with murderous intent, but Second Commander Lin Tianchen simply replied, "The reason I recruited General Thunder to join the Security Bureau a year ago and established the Third Special Operations Section with him at the center was based on a comprehensive consideration of the situation in the Ninth Base City at the time and General Thunder's abilities. Now, judging by General Thunder's personal achievements and the current security situation in the Ninth Base City, he has completely met my expectations."

After Lin Tianchen finished speaking, he half-closed his eyes and said nothing. No matter how Aideen Kingman asked, he was too lazy to say another word.

Previously, he had to answer questions about himself, otherwise he would be in contempt of Congress, but now he can do whatever he wants.

Although his situation was dire, he was still an honorary member of Congress and no one could force him to speak.

Zhou Yunfei then took the questioning seat. His expression remained impassive throughout the entire session. "I specifically recruited Lei Ting to join the Security Bureau as a Lieutenant General. The budget allocated for the Third Special Operations Division was entirely in accordance with Commander-in-Chief Lin's instructions."

Hearing this, Ideen Jinman sneered. "Then, Marshal Zhou Yunfei, please tell me why General Thunder's resume is classified as X-level confidentiality, with traces of at least three revisions, and some underlying information is blocked. What is so shameful about this General Thunder?"

At this time, a hint of doubt appeared in Fang Xianzheng's eyes. As early as half a year ago, he was curious about the origin and identity of this Thunder General. However, at that time, the second commander-in-chief Lin Tianchen still had some influence, so Fang Xianzheng was hesitant and did not conduct an in-depth investigation.

Zhou Yunfei narrowed his eyes. Have these guys' investigation into Lei Ting gone so deep?
He sneered in his heart, how could Lin Rui's true identity be revealed so easily?
Even if Zhou Yunfei was willing to speak up, East Asia and Li Jianglong would not agree.

Just as Zhou Yunfei was about to speak, the door of the conference room opened with a bang, and Li Jianglong, wearing a military coat, walked in like a dragon and a tiger.

"Sorry I'm late."

Li Jianglong walked directly to the chairman's seat and sat down. "Where is the inquiry meeting at this point? Has it reached the point of the special recruitment of the Thunder General?
I'm fully aware of this. The Second Commander-in-Chief consulted me when he signed the special recruitment order. There's no question about it. Everything regarding General Thunder complies with the Federal Secrecy Act and the special work requirements within our Security Bureau. The process is completely reasonable and legal, and must be given a Class X confidentiality rating."

He glanced at everyone present, then fixed his gaze on Edeon Kingman, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Ms. Kingman, do you have any questions? If you have any, please feel free to ask. I can answer them as appropriate."

Ideen Kingman frowned, and finally remained silent with a gloomy face.

At this moment, she sensed Li Jianglong's extremely domineering and sharp spiritual power and imposing aura.

——It’s as if to say, if you dare to complain about this matter again, I will kill you!
The expressions of the people present were also stern, and they all clearly felt Li Jianglong's will that could not be disobeyed.

Fang Xianzheng was even more confused. Li Jianglong was also very surprised when he learned about Lei Ting. His reaction at that time did not seem like he knew it in advance.

What kind of secret does this thunder hide?
However, regarding the matter of General Thunder, his daughter and son-in-law had already informed him before the inquiry began.

Fang Xianzheng quickly gathered his thoughts. "Since Ms. Kingman has no more questions, let's move on to the next item on the agenda. Regarding the motion of no confidence submitted by Ms. Ideen Kingman against General Thunder, have you all reviewed it? Let's begin the vote now."

The result of this vote was even more surprising, 14 to 1. Of the 15 members of the Security Committee, only Ideen Kingman expressed his distrust of General Thunder.

Fang Xianzheng narrowed his eyes, thinking that Lei Ting had only been in the Security Bureau for a year, and was in charge of two key departments of the Security Bureau headquarters, the 'Tianjixing Trade Monitoring Center' and the 'National Security Special Operations Center', but his position was more stable than that of the second commander-in-chief Lin Tianchen!
This questioning meeting could not continue after Li Jianglong arrived and was just a formality.

These congressmen didn't even summon Lin Rui to the stage for questioning. He could only sit in a corner of the conference room and chat with Li Jianglong in a casual manner.

Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): The Good Fortune God's Envoy Zhao Chongling is very sincere. Before arriving at the star port, he gave me a big gift, which is a Ninth Realm Emperor-level magic weapon treasured by the Church of Light. They actually have no choice. The Federation's two-month ban on sales has made them very uncomfortable.

In fact, the sales ban issued by the federal government cannot completely block the supply of goods to the Church of Light.

There are countless smugglers in the Federation, as well as a large number of pirates, none of whom take the laws of the country seriously.

However, this does not prevent them from raising the price, doubling or tripling the price.

How could the Church of Light afford this at a time when it was in dire straits due to the war and financial constraints?

Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): But as far as I know, the envoy of the God of Wealth, Zhao Chongling, is not very close to their 'Ming Wang'. I will sound out the situation first to see if we can negotiate. However, if the Federation wants Ming Wang to act as the second commander-in-chief, it will definitely have to pay a certain price. You should be mentally prepared.

Lin Rui himself was naturally willing, but as the "Ming Wang" and the one in charge of the Purification Method and the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, he really didn't want to expose the matter unless it was absolutely necessary, so he could only provide help to the Second Commander in a roundabout way.

Li Jianglong: Of course. You can tell Zhao Chongling that as long as the King is willing to take action, any conditions can be discussed.

Li Jianglong actually felt that Lin Rui's method was more reliable.

The key is that the Changsheng Society is pressing Lin Tianchen step by step, leaving them with little time.

After the proposal was passed just now, Lin Tianchen only has three months.

Li Jianglong: Also, the anti-smuggling warships I promised you before will be in place soon, a total of 2 fast battleships, 6 fast cruisers, 18 high-speed destroyers, and 54 high-speed frigates. It is estimated that they will be allocated to your "Tianjixing Trade Monitoring Center" within 5 to 10 days.

Li Jianglong: I hope you can get into the state as soon as possible and take care of the things you should be in charge of. I know you have been very busy in the past two months with the opening of the port, but combating smuggling is also an indispensable part. Lin Rui, you still have to pay more attention to it.

Lin Rui was cheered up after reading it.

The Trade Monitoring Center needs an anti-smuggling fleet to monitor trade and combat smuggling. They cannot just sit in the office to strengthen trade supervision.

Lone Shadow Tiandao (Lin Rui): Don't worry, Commander. I have been keeping an eye on the Trade Monitoring Center. Xiaoxue has already sorted out the personnel of the monitoring center. We will definitely get into the state as efficiently as possible.

Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): But Commander, did you really recruit the '1st Rapid Reaction Fleet' from the Second Star Fleet? You're really good at poaching.

Li Jianglong sent a very proud expression.

Li Jianglong: "I couldn't have done it alone, but your girlfriend is truly amazing. She managed to get it done." He originally planned to establish the 'Tianjixing Trade Monitoring Center' to, on the one hand, further strengthen the authority and influence of the Security Bureau; on the other hand, to allow the Security Bureau to control a certain amount of fleet power.

However, he couldn't do it alone, so he asked Lin Rui to be the director of the Trade Monitoring Center.

Li Jianglong knew that only if Lin Rui got benefits would Fang Ranran work hard to help him.

Just when the two people talked to this point, the questioning session officially ended.

When Lin Rui stood up, he felt Fang Xianzheng's doubtful and speculative gaze, but he didn't care and continued to walk out the door.

Just as Li Jianglong said, he has indeed been very busy in the past two months.

There is hardly a single day off for planning the construction of the star port, reviewing and issuing licenses, relocating the headquarters of the Holy Temple of Light, planning the construction of the 'Tianjixing Trade Monitoring Center' and the 'National Security Special Operations Center', etc.

Lin Rui also performed a colonization operation on Lu Hanyuan, thus adding another combat force under his command whose defensive capabilities reached the standards of a quasi-parliamentarian.

He also prepared a new body for Ji Shenyan, who is currently working hard to accumulate true energy with the help of Lin Rui, preparing to break through to the eighth level.

Ji Shenyan not only absorbed the Emperor Blood Stone, but also absorbed a lot of soul power after becoming a war spirit. Her soul now has reached the standard for promotion in terms of both quality and quantity. The only pity is that there are many impurities inside, and it takes time to refine them one by one.

——This should be a slow and steady process. Under normal circumstances, it may not be completely refined even after one or two years, and it will definitely leave hidden dangers in the future.

However, Lin Rui mastered the Pure Fire and the Glorious Altar, which could help Ji Shenyan purify his soul, thus shortening the refining time to two months.

Soon, Lin Rui will have another quasi-councillor under his command. Together with Shi Yan, whose physical condition has initially stabilized, and whose combat power is extremely strong and whose limit is unknown, the number of quasi-councillors under Lin Rui will increase to four.

Furthermore, his Forest Security Company's five heavily armored divisions had already formed a combat capability, and their trade fleet had also begun to take shape. They even possessed a Yinglong-class battleship, something not even the Sky Fox Trading Company possessed! Although the personnel above were shoved in from East Asia, they were indeed the force he could currently use.

Not to mention the benefits and connections brought by the trade license. For example, at today's questioning meeting, Lin Rui just greeted all parties and the Thunder General passed easily.

The only person the Changsheng Society focused their firepower on was the second commander-in-chief, Lin Tianchen. Li Jianglong could only watch without being able to offer any help, which resulted in Lin Tianchen having to barely get through.

All in all, although he was busy during these two months, his days were happy and fulfilling, simply because his own cultivation and his wings were growing stronger and stronger every moment.

After today's questioning meeting, Lin Rui's schedule was also fully arranged, and he had no free time until tomorrow when he met with the Ming Cult envoy.

He first had to go back to the Ruifang Colonial Suit Biological Research Institute and replace all his colonial suits with new ones, and at the same time implant two new SSS+ colonial suits.

Next, the main consciousness will be sent to Tianji Star to take care of the many affairs of the star port, and at the same time implant a new colonization suit into Master Luo Wangshu.

Previously, Luo Wangshu condensed the 'Ultimate Heart Source' for Xian Yuyan, which consumed a lot of blood and energy. It was not until today that it was fully restored. He is now ready to be promoted to the Ninth Realm Super Emperor!
Lin Rui had been looking forward to this for a long time. He had already prepared two sets of colonial suits for Luo Wangshu. Both were fine products made in the laboratory at great expense.

But just as he walked out of the meeting room, Lin Rui saw a man in a black cloak standing in the corner out of the corner of his eye.

The man's face was covered in shadows, and his gaze was extremely sharp and full of murderous intent.

When Lin Rui suddenly turned around and looked at this person, this person magically disappeared before his eyes, as if everything was his illusion and this person had never existed.

Lin Rui frowned slightly and walked out of the door with a heavy heart.

Just as he was about to step into the armored official vehicle outside, he heard Ji Xueying's voice coming through the smart terminal bracelet: "Master, please pay attention. I sense that there is more than one sniper around you."

Shangguan Tianyi: "Boss, the person who looked at you just now must be a prospective councilor. He noticed me, but I didn't continue to follow him because I was afraid of exposing my identity."

Lin Rui's two personal bodyguards changed into the new colonial uniforms half a month ago.

This not only significantly increased their alien combat power by about 32%, but also freed up a large amount of mental energy, allowing each of them to implant an SSS+ colonization suit.

Without exception, both of them chose the super-emperor colonial suit 'Heavenly Silk Divine Vein' that can enhance their sensitivity and reaction capabilities.

This is an extremely powerful talent. The 'Heavenly Silk Divine Vein' can give people super strong nerve reaction ability, greatly increase the upper limit of mental power and sensing ability, and can cover the surroundings with mental power like a spider web.

In addition, it has super long-range combat capabilities, anti-strike capabilities and flesh and blood aggregation capabilities. The capabilities can act up to 50 kilometers away and can also connect the broken space and time sequence.

Although Xian Yuyan also has this ability, Xian Yuyan was not seen defending against the Invincible Dharma King that day.

However, the two girls still chose this bloodline talent.

They regarded that incident as a great humiliation and tried their best to enhance their perception and reaction abilities.

The 'Thor' Type 8 and 'Badr' Type 8 exo-dans on the two, as well as their 8SSS type exoskeleton armor, have also recently undergone special strengthening and modulation.

Now they are not only very powerful in combat, reaching the eighth level of super-emperor level, but are also particularly strong in situational awareness.

After hearing this, Lin Rui couldn't help but look out the window with a cold look in his eyes.

It had been quiet for more than two months, but undercurrents began to surge again beneath the surface. However, this time the Changsheng Society was targeting the 'Thunder General'.

Is it because of the 'Tianjixing Trade Monitoring Center' and the entire '1st Rapid Reaction Fleet' that Li Jianglong poached?
