Therefore, Domon William was recalled from Earth to the Taylor system.
"The fact that Death Kiss appeared in Rouen and planted bombs must mean they knew Taylor would be there beforehand. They removed over three hundred bombs from the outer walls. A bomb of this scale couldn't have been planted in just a few days; it would have taken at least a week. Considering Rouen's security, it would have taken at least half a month. It couldn't have been any shorter, unless everyone in Rouen was blind..."
The core members of the Taylor Group gathered in the hall via 3D projection, with Domon William standing in the very center of the hall.
The old-timers from the Taylor faction informed Domon William of their analysis of Lin Feng's attack in Rouen.
"In other words, this was a premeditated attack."
"Domon, who arranged the trip for Taylor?" Stock asked.
"it's me."
Domon William gave a very calm reply.
Then someone else asked, "When were the travel arrangements made?"
Domon William said, "That day, I thought I'd let Mr. Taylor go out and relax, so I just randomly picked a popular space city from the Jupiter travel guide."
The old guard of the Taylor faction nodded. Domon William hadn't lied or tried to cover anything up, which relieved many of them.
Domon William was the grandson of Knight William, and they watched him grow up; in a sense, he was almost like their grandson.
On a personal emotional level, they were unwilling to believe that Domenico William was the instigator of the assassination and the mastermind behind the Rouen tragedy.
All the clues point to him.
A flat surface was projected in front of Domon William, displaying the contents of a report he had previously submitted.
“Your action report describes how some members of the Taylor Group were used as bait to lure hostile forces, and how the attack occurred during the elimination of the Killer virus, thus opening a window for the Taylor Group to develop space military capabilities,” Davis said.
The implication was clear: it was a questioning of Domon William, whether he had used Lin Feng as bait to leak Lin Feng's whereabouts in order to allow the Taylor faction to gain control as quickly as possible, thus orchestrating the tragedy.
It was Domon William who suggested to Lin Feng that he go on a trip to appreciate the beauty of this era.
It was also he who suggested to the core leadership of the Taylor Group that they use the attack to open a window for the Taylor Group to develop space military capabilities.
Domon is also someone extremely close to the core of Taylor's power structure.
Domon William possesses all the qualities of a suspect!
One of the core members of the Taylor group expressed his dissatisfaction.
“Domon, we do allow you to do this, but that doesn’t mean we allow you to risk Taylor’s life. Taylor is special.”
"I never intended to use the core of our Taylor Group as bait. In my opinion, such an approach is too radical, risky, and unreliable." Domon William denied that he had done such a thing.
He continued, "In my vision, the Taylor group would be attacked, but that would be near Earth, because that's close to the hostile forces. The fact that the attack would happen in Jupiter's orbit is something I never expected. Earth is tens of millions of kilometers away from Jupiter, even at its closest."
Domon William's words caused the old-timers in the Taylor faction to raise their eyebrows.
They would rather Domon William be lying than to believe he was telling the truth, because that would mean there were problems within the Taylor group.
“You mean there’s a ‘spy’ within the Taylor Group?” Smith asked.
Domon William thought for a moment and replied, "Whether there is such a 'spy' in the Taylor system is still in doubt. As for the outcome, the proposal to apply to the PDC to form a personal guard fleet has been approved. From now on, Mr. Taylor's protection level will be the highest in human civilization."
"In this way, the Taylor faction has a reason to have a military foundation. Perhaps that person is not a 'spy,' but just a bit radical. Otherwise, why didn't the leaker tell the assassins that Taylor's real body was not in the space city?"
If the leaker were truly a hostile enemy of the Taylor Group, they would undoubtedly have revealed everything about Lin Feng. The crisis in Rouen City would not have been resolved by Lin Feng in that manner, and he might even have been in mortal danger.
Therefore, Domon Williams was inclined to believe that the other party was an extreme radical within the Taylor faction.
It's important to know that the final outcome of this incident allowed the Taylor faction to easily obtain the right to form a Royal Guard fleet from the PDC.
Domon William's plan was to use ordinary Taylor members to create a breach in the PDC, allowing the Taylors to develop space-based armed forces, and then spend half a century or a century gradually expanding this breach to develop a space fleet unique to the Taylors.
Now that Lin Feng has been attacked, it is only natural for him to form a personal guard fleet, given his safety in space.
For these reasons, Domon William believes that the person who led this matter is not an enemy, but rather a radical, but at least still within the scope of his own people.
After exchanging their opinions, Stock and his team made a final decision.
"Regardless of the reason, putting Taylor in danger without approval should be punished. Otherwise, it is irresponsible to the entire Taylor Group and to Taylor's life."
Domon William was punished within the Taylor Group, even though he vehemently denied having such a plan. All the clues pointed to him as the most suspicious and motivated individual. As for his claim about radicals within the Taylor Group, that was baseless.
Unless he can identify the radical and provide strong evidence to the core members of the Taylor faction that the other party orchestrated the entire incident.
Domon William was not the only one reprimanded because of the Rouen incident.
In the Three-Body game, roughly ten years later, ETO members have not logged into the Three-Body game world.
Now, ETO's top executives are gathered here.
At the top of that Mayan pyramid, ETO executives stood scattered along the edge of the platform.
Their eyes were all focused on a person standing in the center of the platform.
"You did something completely unnecessary."
Mozi, hunched over, leaned on a cane, coldly watching...
"Do you know what you've done?" the white-haired Bohr stepped forward and rebuked him, "Who gave you permission to act on your own?"
"Diao Chan, do you want to betray the organization?" King Wen of Zhou asked coldly, a pipe dangling from his lips.
Qin Shi Huang had died of old age, as had John von Neumann. Over the course of half a century, many high-ranking ETO executives died of old age. From that time onward, ETO began to decline, its power diminishing. Therefore, ETO chose to go into seclusion.
The approach to harming human civilization has shifted from radical harm to a gradual, sustained, and long-term strategy of inducing harm.
Now, however, someone is breaking ETO's secluded status.
This is an unforgivable act!
Currently, ETO has not suffered any further attacks from humans because they have made humans believe that ETO no longer exists. ETO has finally been given a breather and can now confidently and boldly carry out its heavy responsibility of leading humanity to its demise.
This method, in particular, could thwart Feng Taylor's 'plan'.
Therefore, it is unacceptable for ETO to break out of its seclusion.
“I couldn’t control myself. At the time, I thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and maybe I would succeed.”
The woman standing in the middle of the platform looked nervous. She hurriedly tried to defend herself, and continued speaking in a slightly trembling voice.
"However, everyone can rest assured, the assassins of Death Kiss will not know that the intelligence was provided to them by the organization, and the message was very brief..."
Lin Feng's trip was something Diao Chan learned about in advance from Domon William through Zhi Zi, and then revealed it to the Earth forces that were hostile to the Taylor system.
As the core of the Taylor faction, Lin Feng was naturally not someone the opposing forces were willing to let go of, which led to the later attack on Rouen by the Death Kiss.
When Diao Chan first learned of the news, she thought it was a golden opportunity, because with just a little guidance, she could kill Feng Taylor, whom the organization had always regarded as a dangerous person.
Of course, to avoid exposing ETO, Diao Chan only revealed to the faction that Lin Feng would be traveling to Rouen that was hostile to the Taylor group because of the Killer virus. It was a very short message, without going into detail about Lin Feng.
This also sowed the seeds for the eventual failure of the "Kiss of Death" incident.
Even with such caution, ETO executives were still not satisfied.
"Absolutely stupid!"
"Isn't a very short message enough? How many more messages do you want to send out? One message is enough for humans to detect our existence by following the information transmission path! In that case, the organization's more than half a century of concealment will be in vain!" Mozi slammed his fist on the ground and angrily rebuked Diaochan.
"Do you think Feng Taylor is so easy to kill? Do you think the organization paid a heavy price to kill Feng Taylor? Do you think things will turn out the way you expect? Don't be so self-centered!"
Following Mozi, the white-haired Bohr also severely reprimanded Diaochan.
"Then how can I make amends for my mistake?"
Diao Chan asked the ETO executives with little confidence, only to be met with their angry glares.
If this had happened half a century ago, they would have killed this kind of person who acted on his own and could potentially harm the organization. If the organization weren't so desperately short of people, they wouldn't have kept Diao Chan.
Finally, King Wen of Zhou gave Diao Chan a reply.
"Go and erase the traces, don't leave any."
"Then, should we...?"
Diao Chan hesitated before speaking, and King Wen of Zhou glared at her and coldly rebuked her.
"I've told you so many times, don't think about killing people all the time. Randomly killing people will only attract more attention."
"Hack into the computer, format that message, understand? The action must be clean and swift, leaving no trace. We cannot let humanity know that ETO still exists in this world," King Wen of Zhou said.
"understood."
Diao Chan nodded in agreement.
With permission from the ETO leadership, Diao Chan fled the Three-Body Problem game as if escaping a disaster, leaving behind a group of ETO executives.
"After this incident, Feng Taylor will have his own private fleet. What an utterly idiotic thing to do!" King Zhou couldn't help but curse.
"Maple Taylor will become increasingly unchecked in human society. If left unchecked, who knows what will happen next?" Mozi coughed and said with great melancholy.
A fleet, especially one belonging to a single person, is a deadly weapon. ETO still remembers the mission their master gave them.
Humans cannot leave the solar system.
They are now afraid that after Lin Feng formed the first personal guard fleet, he commanded it to escape the solar system, and the mission given to them by the Trisolarans failed directly.
"Are you worried that he will launch an escape plan?" someone in the ETO leadership asked.
Mozi nodded and replied, "He has always been a defeatist and never believed that humanity could defeat the attacking Trisolaran fleet."
“Bohr used the breach to block Feng Taylor’s escape route, but if it’s a private fleet, the PDC might not be able to control it, especially in space,” Mozi said.
Upon hearing this, some people who had been promoted to senior management of ETO after Lin Feng went into hibernation turned their attention to Bohr.
After several discussions, someone in the ETO senior management made a suggestion.
"What about promoting the threat of space warlords? Feng Taylor's formation of a private fleet means he has the ability to threaten the safety of space travel."
"The three space fleets exist to counter the incoming Trisolaran fleet, and the player fleet is to provide enough reserve personnel for the three space fleets. But what is the purpose of Feng Taylor's personal guard fleet? Let's put this question to humanity and let humanity think about it themselves."
King Wen of Zhou and Mozi nodded, agreeing that this method was feasible.
It's a very simple principle: police officers carry guns to protect themselves from criminals. But what is the purpose of someone who isn't a police officer carrying a gun?
Even if there is no malicious intent, at most it is for self-defense, or simply because they think the posture of holding a gun is cool, and they are posing with an empty gun, what will the people around them think?
If a Wallfacer, a figure with extremely dictatorial tendencies, were to form a personal guard fleet, would he rise above humanity and impose a cruel and bloody dictatorial rule over the entire human civilization?
Bohr stroked his white beard. "This is not something we should be the ones to bring up."
"Have some people in the organization contact those who already dislike Feng Taylor, and casually bring up this issue so that it won't leave any trace."
Spreading rumors is easy; even if investigated later, it can be said to be just idle thoughts during a chat.
