Doctor, I'm really strong!

Expecting one or a few countries to take on the whole world single-handedly? Wilhelm II and Mustache are watching you from above.

This is a principle that rational people understand, but understanding it doesn't mean making that decision. Koschei also understood it, but he still took radical measures because he felt that the empire needed the courage to fight to the death. Speaker Witt, on the other hand, believed that this was putting the Ursus Empire in a precarious position and insisted on perfecting the internal reforms of the Ursus Empire first before discussing the issue of external expansion.

If the Ursus Empire could really take down the Yan Kingdom in one battle, and Speaker Witt is a staunch advocate of war, the problem is that this is something I cannot do. The Yan Kingdom, which usually pursues peaceful relations, can be so ruthless when it comes to fighting that it can terrify the people of Ursus. It truly uses the full strength of the country to fight to the death.

Thus, a war faction and a peace faction emerged within the Ursus Empire. The war faction was further divided into rational and extreme factions. The extreme faction was under Koschei's control. Koschei's plan was not carried out by him alone, but was advanced with the help of a large number of Koschei clones.

In other words, the black snake Talulah beside Liu Jiuli does not have the ability to completely stop this plan. Her clone also has the characteristic of being infinitely divisible. She herself said that the Kosicheans will also fight each other because they support different kings or something else, and ultimately the most powerful Ursus ruler will be chosen.

Therefore, Wei Yanwu cannot rely solely on Speaker Witt's line of communication. Moreover, Speaker Witt is also from Ursus and makes decisions from Ursus's perspective. What if he is persuaded? Is the information source limited, or does the friendly inclination of the other country determine the authenticity of the intelligence? Only believing this kind of intelligence is unwise unless Wei Yanwu has dementia.

With the Black Cloak under his command, he must also have his own intelligence system. Once this intelligence system discovers the movements of the Ursus Empire's army, it will definitely send it to Wei Yanwu with utmost urgency.

The Ursus Empire's Fourth Legion has indeed been mobilized, and it is currently located not far from Chernobog.

Given that the person scheming against him was the old viper Koschche, Wei Yanwu would immediately tend to believe that Lungmen was in danger.

Next, he will try to confirm through various channels. At this time, someone comes to his door with intelligence. Do you think he wants to listen to it?

With the addition of information provided by Talulah, the Black Serpent, Liu Jiuli possesses more details, making the information sound more convincing. Furthermore, the foresight gained through the game makes this intelligence extremely valuable.

Then we can discuss cooperation matters.

Kal'tsit could naturally have thought of all of the above, and she could also have thought of what Wei Yanwu could have thought of, so...

We can talk!

Chapter 39: It's over, I've become a substitute.

Just as Kal'tsit and Liu Jiuli were preparing to set off, a rather troublesome incident occurred.

An explosion occurred in the civilian district of Lungmen, and the explosion was carried out by the Reunion Movement.

Or rather, a former member of the Reunion Movement. After all, Liu Jiuli has dismantled the Reunion Movement and is now the Red Guards.

"The Reunion Movement has betrayed its original intentions; they have bowed to the corrupt world. Now, our new Reunion Movement will reintegrate this world. Long live the Reunion Movement!"

This is the information left at the scene: a black invitation card with a skull drawn on it, clearly a declaration of war.

Liu Jiuli learned of this matter after returning to the Red Guards office in Longmen and immediately convened a meeting of cadres.

"Does anyone know which idiot did this?"

He was definitely annoyed. What Liu Jiuli didn't want most right now was for the infected to be labeled as terrorists. That's why he wanted to sever ties with the Reunion Movement and also wanted the Black Serpent Talulah to temporarily turn Chernobog into her fiefdom.

Now, before the Red Guards could even establish their reputation, the Reunification Movement has emerged, and right off the bat with the despicable tactic of terrorist attacks. What's even more outrageous is that they're directly targeting civilians.

The weak wielding their knives against the even weaker are the most hated.

Faced with Liu Jiuli's question, everyone shook their heads, except for the Black Serpent Talulah, who remained silent with a solemn expression.

"Keep your people in check and don't cause trouble at this critical moment. Talulah, stay here. Everyone else, meeting adjourned."

After everyone left, the black snake Talulah spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, this is my final act."

"You did this?" Liu Jiuli was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized: "The other Koschkes, right?"

Talulah, the Black Serpent, nodded: "There are still people pushing forward with the plans for the Reunion Movement and Chernobog's ramming into Lungmen."

Liu Jiuli said speechlessly, "Your schizophrenia is quite severe."

Talulah the Black Serpent shrugged: "We are a whole, but also independent individuals. Everyone has their own ideas, at most divided into those who support different factions."

Liu Jiuli: "In other words, the Kosicheans who remain in the Reunion Movement are all willing to help."

Talulah the Black Serpent: "It's hard to say. There may be bystanders, those waiting, and those plotting to sabotage."

Liu Jiuli was utterly dumbfounded: "Is it really meaningful for you to fight yourself like this?"

Talulah the Black Serpent dismissively stated, "The first emperor of the Ursus Empire was forged in this way, and I have been by the side of every successor to the Ursus emperor since. The Ursus Empire must be an empire ruled by the strong, whether in the past, present, or future."

Liu Jiuli felt completely unable to understand whether this was a form of masochism, but still asked, "Is the current Ursus emperor also accompanied by Koschei?"

Talulah, the black snake, nodded and said, "Yes, there are more than one. In fact, some of the Koschei are very well hidden. They don't come out on their own, or they don't have a unified consciousness to search for them. We usually don't know who each other is."

Liu Jiuli suggested, "Why don't you guys just form a swarm consciousness? It'll make you even stronger in combat."

Talulah, the black snake, asked, "What's that?"

Liu Jiuli waved his hand: "A very powerful political system, well, it's a legendary political system. No one can guarantee how it will actually be in reality. The most urgent thing now is to handle this matter properly. I absolutely cannot tolerate the Red Guards being tainted by the Integration Movement."

Talulah the Black Serpent: "So what do you plan to do?"

Liu Jiuli reached out and clenched his fist: "The simplest way is to use our fists to deter everyone from making any rash moves."

Talulah the Black Serpent: "Simple and effective, but it also means you're exposed to the public."

Liu Jiuli laughed and said, "Isn't that great? At least the trouble caused by many evil spirits won't happen anymore, and reputation is also a kind of deterrent."

Talulah, the Black Serpent, nodded and said, "Don't go too far. I'm still waiting to witness the powerful empire you described."

Liu Jiuli: "Don't worry, you'll see."

The Lungmen Guard Bureau is essentially a special police agency, possessing all the functions of a police force as well as some of the functions of a military force.

Terrorist attacks like this definitely alarm the higher-ups. No country will negotiate with terrorists, because backing down once means there will be many more. Brief appeasement is just a prelude to the later eradication.

This terrorist attack was a car bomb, so the terrorists did not appear; there were only casualties, plus the terrorists' announcement of war from the Reunion Movement.

For Lungmen, this was no longer an ordinary terrorist attack; they could not hesitate and had to strike hard.

This is where the special operations team comes into play. They are essentially task forces, but they are a permanent department that takes action specifically to deal with serious incidents, including actions of a certain military nature. Therefore, their weaponry is much more advanced than that of ordinary police officers.

Without considering Wei Yanwu's black raincoat, they are the strongest armed force in Longmen.

Chan Fai-kit, Chan Sir, head of the Special Operations Unit, Senior Superintendent. Considering her uncle's status, the Special Operations Unit is like a princeling department in the Lungmen Guard Bureau, receiving priority in funding, manpower, and resources. In addition, Chan Fai-kit is not an incompetent second-generation heir who climbed up the ranks by relying on her elders' protection; her overall abilities are beyond question. Therefore, everyone respects this senior superintendent with a special status.

An official with connections but who is approachable and can get along with anyone is popular everywhere.

The only problem is that she has very high expectations of herself and others, which puts a lot of pressure on everyone during training.

With them here, no problem is a problem. No one will make things difficult for the special operations team, and if anything goes wrong, someone will cover for them. It feels so good!

"Inspector Chen, all the information is here. This is the surveillance footage."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Put it over there."

Chen Huijie is working through a pile of documents, all of which are intelligence gathered regarding the terrorist attack, including statements from nearby residents and passersby. Other parts of the document are also being organized, and it is believed that key intelligence will be found soon.

"Pink Dragon, still looking at documents?"

Without looking up, Chen Huijie said, "Since you're so free, why don't you take a look at the documents for me, Mr. Shi?"

The newcomer flew into a rage and slammed both hands on Chen Huijie's desk: "I've said it many times, my surname isn't Shi!"

"What is it?" Chen Huijie remained focused on the documents in her hands.

"Tch, I'm so kind of you to bring this over. Here you go, this is some surveillance footage that was accidentally captured by the security camera at our supermarket. A few days before the incident, several people who looked like members of the Reunion Movement were in the vicinity."

Despite her bluntness, Swire still handed the USB drive to Chen Huijie.

"Thank you, you've been a great help."

"You'll still thank me properly, won't you?"

Chen Huijie plugged in the USB drive, opened it, and started playing the surveillance footage inside.

Just a dozen seconds later, she suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"What!?"

Section 40: You Don't Play by the Rules!

The most embarrassing thing in the world is when you get caught up in the gossip yourself.

Seeing Talulah appear in the surveillance video, Chen Huijie felt dizzy and almost fainted.

What's wrong with my family story: the younger sister, a senior police superintendent, is trying to arrest her older sister?

If I could choose a light novel title, this would be perfect. It instantly conjures up millions of words of love, hate, and grudges in people's minds. If a Korean company were to adapt it, it would easily have at least two hundred episodes.

Swire noticed Chen Huijie's unusual behavior and stepped forward to ask, "What happened?"

Chen Huijie closed the notebook, picked it up and walked towards the door, saying, "I'm going to the Governor's Mansion."

Looking at Chen Huijie, who had been dispatched in an emergency, Swire was full of questions: "What's going on?"

In fact, Chen Huijie received the intelligence too late. Someone else received it faster than her, namely her uncle Wei Yanwu. The Black Cloak's efficiency and intelligence capabilities far surpassed those of the Lungmen Guard Bureau.

“It’s Xiaota.” Wen Yue’s face was full of melancholy.

Wei Yanwu stared silently at the computer screen, his mind racing with thoughts, which he then forcefully suppressed with reason.

This is not the time for sentimentality. He is the Governor of Longmen, and he has a responsibility to Longmen. He cannot let the enemy succeed.

First, it's certain that Talulah is under Koschei's control. Second, Talulah herself definitely doesn't have a good impression of Lungmen, especially of her uncle. Finally, there's the question of what the Reunion Movement wants to do, and the sudden appearance of the Red Guards. By the way, the leaders and cadres of the Red Guards are the leaders and cadres of the Reunion Movement. What happened during this period?

It's necessary to have Black Cloak investigate this.

Just as Wei Yanwu was pondering, Chen Huijie's voice came from outside the office.

Chen Huijie knew that Wei Yanwu must have tacitly approved of this, otherwise he would have had a thousand ways to prevent the intelligence from reaching Chen Huijie.

Wei Yanwu nodded slightly to Wen Yue, who then went to open the door for Chen Huijie.

As soon as she entered, Chen Huijie hurriedly walked up to Wei Yanwu and asked, "Governor, is this true?"

Wei Yanwu, however, seemed confident. He picked up his pipe and, while filling it with tobacco, said, "Xiao Chen, I've said it many times before. When you encounter a problem, the most important thing is to stay calm and think about what to do, rather than becoming an impulsive puppet driven by emotions."

Chen Huijie was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and adjusted her mindset according to the method she had learned from her uncle, calming her turbulent emotions. When she opened her eyes again, the previous impulsiveness had vanished.

Wei Yanwu nodded in satisfaction before saying, "It can be confirmed that the person in the picture is Talulah."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Huijie asked, "So, the Reunion Movement is related to her (Talulah)?"

Wei Yanwu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Talulah is the former leader of the Reunion Movement."

Chen Huijie nodded: "The current leader is Liu Jiuli, who is also a PhD at a pharmaceutical company and is in charge of human resources."

Wei Yanwu: "So what we need to do now is to investigate the various complex relationships involved. The integration movement may not achieve anything significant, but the shadows hidden behind it can stir up a raging flood."

Chen Huijie remained silent; she was thinking of the Ursus Empire.

Wei Yanwu thought of Koschei; before confronting the Ursus Empire, he had to deal with Koschei's conspiracy.
