In the internal conference room of Bureau 13, the director, deputy director, 13 ministers, and 15 senior officials gathered together to discuss only one topic: how to treat Han Xiao.
"Han Xiao has a lot of confidential information. With his help, we can accurately strike the various bases of the embryo. Moreover, he is a mechanic with a certain combat capability. His level is equivalent to that of a trained elite agent, but he has not reached the standard of a superpower. He has the sincerity to cooperate..." The Minister of Intelligence finished the investigation report and gave his own opinion: "I think we can initially trust Han Xiao and cooperate with him."
Everyone looked at each other and was silent for a few seconds. The Minister of Internal Affairs was the first to object, "No, what if Han Xiao gave false information?"
It really came!
Every minister was excited. Bureau 13 was divided into two factions, the hardliners headed by the Minister of Internal Affairs and the conservatives headed by the Minister of Intelligence. The seats of both sides were clearly divided, just like the Chu River and Han River, the two armies confronted each other, ready to fight.
The Minister of Intelligence argued, "The chances are slim. He is a fugitive of Mengya. If he wants to survive, he can only rely on our protection, so there is no need to doubt his sincerity."
"Then he could be a spy sent by Mengya to play a trick on us!" The Minister of Internal Affairs insisted, saying, "I suggest that we control Han Xiao, detain him in secret, and extract all the information from him. Bureau Thirteen does not need to negotiate with anyone!"
"You are making a fuss! There is no need for this. Tough measures will lead to unexpected accidents. Han Xiao is sincere. We cannot push away the help that should belong to us and make enemies for nothing!"
"You are a cowardly compromise!"
"You are acting without thinking!"
Led by the two ministers, the two factions began to spray each other, their faces flushed and their necks thickened. Although they were both seeking information about Han Xiao, the contradiction between the two sides was that the hardliners wanted to imprison Han Xiao, while the conservatives wanted to cooperate with Han Xiao in a friendly manner. They quarreled happily and wanted to roll up their sleeves for a physical fight.
The director and the deputy director are sitting on the Diaoyutai. There are two directors in the 13th Bureau. The director is the actual person in charge of the 13th Bureau, and the deputy director is a bureaucrat sent by the leadership to supervise, also known as the administrative director.
It stands to reason that such an organizational structure should have sharp conflicts for power, but this deputy director is very low-key and almost doesn't care about anything. At this time, he is absent-minded and silent. It is estimated that he has been thinking about what to eat after get off work. Considering that the previous deputy director who was ambitious to seize power was inexplicably framed as treason, his low profile is understandable.
The director is a majestic man, heroic and imposing. He said thoughtfully: "We need to cooperate and control the other party. Isn't this a good solution? Just recruit him into the bureau?"
The whole scene instantly went from noisy to quiet, and the hard-line ministers were confused.
You want to make trouble, director!
The hard-line faction exploded immediately.
"Absolutely not!"
"What if Han Xiao is a spy sent by the enemy to infiltrate our organization?"
"This violates the confidentiality regulations!"
The director said firmly: "Follow the rules, and vote!"
The conservatives laughed secretly and supported the director. Except for a neutral minister, the number of people in both factions was exactly six. With the director's vote, the proposal was passed without any surprise.
The hardliners immediately wilted, and roared wildly in their hearts, you are in cahoots with each other!
Since the recruitment of Han Xiao to the Thirteenth Bureau has been finalized, the only thing to discuss is which department he should join.
The Minister of Internal Affairs said: "I think the Logistics Department is very suitable for him. Staying in the headquarters all the time, we can monitor him at all times, and he can give full play to his ability as a mechanic."
This time, the conservatives agreed. This suggestion is indeed good. The Logistics Department is most suitable for Han Xiao. He is not allowed to go out. Staying under their noses, he can't cause any trouble.
The director suddenly said, "Don't employ someone if you doubt him, and don't doubt someone if you employ him. Since Han Xiao has combat effectiveness, why not transfer him to the Secret Operations Department? Maybe there will be a surprise."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and all the ministers silently looked at the neutral person who was taking a nap, who was the Minister of the Secret Operations Department.
"Hey, what does it have to do with me?" The Minister of the Secret Operations Department was confused.
"Then it's settled. Behaviors can deceive people, words can deceive people, but the purpose can't deceive people. As long as it is confirmed that Han Xiao's intelligence on the base of our embryonic organization is correct, let him join the Secret Operations Department."
The director waved his hand and made the decision.
All the ministers covered their faces together. Well, you are the boss, you just have to be happy.
The deputy director yawned.
"Have you finished get off work? What food is there in the cafeteria today?"
...
After the meeting, the Minister of Intelligence and the Minister of Logistics came to the Logistics Department together and asked the logistics staff to study the captured light power arm.
I want to see what is so special about the machine made by Han Xiao. If possible, I can also reverse deduce the drawings and get more information about Han Xiao.
The person in charge of researching the light-weight power arm is Luo Xuan, who is known as the ace of the logistics department. He was once an excellent student in the mechanical department of Xidu College. After graduation, he was directly recruited to the logistics department of the 13th Bureau. He has always performed well. The superiors seem to want to focus on training him and intend to let Luo Xuan join the secret operations department.
Except for being a little too proud, there are no other shortcomings.
Luo Xuan wore rubber gloves and looked calm. He had done the work of dismantling machinery many times and was familiar with it.
"Let's start."
Luo Xuan began to dismantle it, but suddenly paused and said in surprise: "There are confidentiality measures inside."
The confidentiality measures prevent the machine from being disassembled to deduce the drawings, which are closely linked to the overall structure. Han Xiao's [Basic Assembly] knowledge includes the method of confidentiality measures. In addition, his full-level [Simple Enhancement Modification] means that unless a mechanic reaches the E-level standard, it is impossible to crack it. He attaches great importance to the light power arm and expects that the light power arm may fall into the hands of the Thirteenth Bureau, so he has arranged confidentiality measures early.
The first generation of Rangers also set up confidentiality measures, but it has exploded, so it can be ignored.
"Can you crack it?" asked the Minister of Intelligence.
"No problem." Luo Xuan is very confident. Removing the confidentiality measures is an indirect duel between the manufacturer and the cracker. Luo Xuan is very confident. What level can a little-known mechanic have? He is a top student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering who graduated from Xidu College.
However, after twenty minutes, Luo Xuan had not made any progress. He was sweating and said in disbelief: "Four-fold confidentiality?! Is the guy who made this machine crazy?"
Four-fold confidentiality is extremely complicated. If it is disassembled incorrectly, the entire internal structure of the machine will automatically disintegrate. Luo Xuan is not sure.
The Minister of Intelligence frowned, "Can you do it? Don't waste my time."
Luo Xuan couldn't hold his face. He didn't dare to get angry with the minister. He could only swallow his anger and said: "This confidentiality measure is too complicated. I, I need time."
"Enough, I don't have that much free time. Tell me what you think."
Luo Xuan noticed the Minister of Intelligence's distrust, his face became ugly, and he said angrily: "There is no highlight in technology, only the confidentiality is good. It makes me feel that the manufacturer is like a country bumpkin who treats garbage as treasure."
The Minister of Intelligence raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and asked someone to take the mechanical arm away from the logistics department.
Since Han Xiao killed a battle-hardened mercenary with a single punch using his mechanical arm, he thought that letting the agents use it in actual combat was the best way to test it. It just so happened that the bureau was sending people to destroy the three Germination Bases that Han Xiao told them about, which was a good opportunity.
Unfortunately, the robot had been blown into a pile of burnt black parts that could not be seen in any shape. He was more interested in the first generation of Rangers.
Although the Thirteenth Bureau was powerful, no one would complain about too many new equipment.
The idiots in the R&D department had been sitting around doing nothing in recent years, taking the most funding, and could only make some inexplicable things, such as sticky bombs with glue on both sides, arc machine guns that could not be aimed at all, and fake breasts that were used to hide poison needles to block metal detection, and they were also divided into men's and women's models.
After two agents wore their poison needles crookedly and were sent to the hospital, the R&D department was blacklisted by the active agents.
...
The director held the phone and talked to Old Man Gao:
"I have recommended Han Xiao to join the secret operations department."
"Thank you for your hard work."
The director asked in confusion: "Old man, is he worthy of your attention?"
Old Man Gao said: "Haha, his value is not just intelligence. I have a hunch that he will be an important bargaining chip in our confrontation with the Germinal Organization."
