Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 832 - 79: Takahashi Makoto’s Choices and Helplessness
If you actually want to go to Fusang, there’s no need to buy a ticket, because with Cheng Xuefei pinpointing the location, the Chess Herald can open a portal to send people there.
(If magicians were this useful, they’d have already been a hit.)
The actions against Fusang... no, specifically against the Huitian Organization, must be handled with utmost caution.
One must not underestimate the opponent; underestimating them might lead to unexpected failure at a critical moment on one hand.
On the other hand, international attention must also be considered.
Some kind-hearted gentlemen cannot stand such scenes, and when they hear about messing with the Fusang people, they act more hurt than if you killed their father.
So preparations need to be thorough, at least not giving those kind-hearted gentlemen any reason for reproach.
Cheng Xuefei has actually always maintained open communication; she has, in fact, already contacted Professor Li over there and is preparing to return.
Suddenly, she received a telegram saying the reinforcement forces were arriving immediately.
Cheng Xuefei was puzzled, I didn’t ask for reinforcements, did I?
And then she saw Han Bin.
Cardiac arrest (physically)!
"Are you guys here to overthrow a country?"
No wonder Cheng Xuefei misunderstood.
Wang Yunxiao, Han Bin, Yan Yu’an, the three of them together with their squads, could be said to be the strongest force among the new generation in Tianmen City.
This could be seen from their test scores in the Special Service Bureau.
Her own interest group from Jishan Academy getting a score of 5 was already difficult enough.
And this team of three scored 10 because the maximum score on the test was only 10.
This was data from six months ago.
What do you plan to do?
"We’re here to protect you."
Justice was written all over Han Bin’s face... no, not justice, uprightness.
Do I need it? Do I need your protection?
Cheng Xuefei, who cultivated Advisor Outer Path to ascend to Flower Amidst Guests, inherently possessed stealth abilities "to pass through a myriad of flowers," making it very difficult for others to locate her unless she revealed herself.
But she was still taken down in one strike.
Because Han Bin, who cultivated Ranger Righteous Path, had a power to break evil magic, defeating myriad techniques with one sword, especially restraining evil paths and outer arts.
"In short, that’s how it is; we are mainly here to address the threat of the Huitian Organization."
With just a few words, Han Bin explained everything, his face showing an innocuous, bright smile: "Captain Cheng, you’ve been in Fusang for quite a while, you should know something about the Huitian Organization, right?"
"I don’t know anything!"
Cheng Xuefei was very angry; I barely managed to handle Professor Li, and you expect me to have time to investigate the Huitian Organization?
What exactly did this Professor Li do?
Not only was he proficient in chemistry, but he was also fluent in Japanese—God knows why Professor Li learned this, anyway by the time Cheng Xuefei found him, he had prepared a nearly flawless local native identity for himself and infiltrated the Imperial University.
Give him a few more months and he might even secure a formal professor position.
The so-called three major dilemmas of transmigrators... in the face of true experts, dilemmas are merely a motivation to push forward.
Professor Li on two world lines possessed terrifyingly strong cognitive power and willpower.
Since Cheng Xuefei didn’t have more pertinent information, they could only rely on the information provided by Nakamura Ichiro to investigate and strike against the Huitian Organization.
According to the intelligence, the leader of the Huitian Organization, Takahashi Shin, has already attained some standing within the Navy and has received recognition and admiration from many high-ranking Military Department officials. As long as he continues his efforts, achieving rapid promotions is not far off.
As for why he hasn’t entered the government’s core decision-making circle, he truly can’t accomplish that.
From a subjective viewpoint, Takahashi Shin isn’t foolish enough to disclose his transmigrator identity to the Military Department, which would be entirely different from the secret organization he painstakingly built, almost like handing his fate over to others.
Politicians are a kind of anthropomorphic creature; for the pursuit of interests, they can treat everything as chips on the gambling table. Don’t assume that having them grasp future information can change history... how many people truly care about the future of the nation?
Don’t say it; some actually do.
Although there was no evidence of Takahashi Shin connecting with government high-ups from Nakamura Ichiro’s confession, Nakamura Ichiro himself was someone who had been sidelined from the core of the Huitian Organization. Having been in China for seven months now, he knows almost nothing about internal organizational changes.
The historical trajectory on this world line is not much different from the history of the world Wang Yunxiao traveled from.
Wang Yunxiao wasn’t particularly strong in history... Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, biases in education are normal, and he doesn’t claim to understand this history particularly well, but he knows a bit.
Lack of understanding of history does not impact a man’s political judgment abilities.
If Takahashi Shin really wanted to contact the government high-ups as a transmigrator, in this era there happens to be an especially suitable target, namely Duke Ito, who had previously served as Fusang’s Prime Minister and has now resigned after failing to form a cabinet.
This individual has enough capability, prestige, and a strategic vision for the long term, sufficient to influence Fusang government’s decisions. Most importantly, in just two years, he’s going to be assassinated.
As a transmigrator, if you can take advantage of Duke Ito’s current low point and proactively approach him, the benefits are self-explanatory.
However, during subsequent investigations into the Huitian Organization, it was discovered that they didn’t seem to have any intention of allying with Duke Ito.
Yan Yu’an led his team to capture several peripheral members of the Huitian Organization, and according to confessions obtained during interrogation, the Huitian Organization is currently actively recruiting young naval officers from the grassroots, and as the leader, Takahashi Shin is focusing all his energy on Count Togo, the current Commander of the Naval Standing Fleet.
Choosing to ally with this Count can be considered an astute move. After all, in the war with Rakshasa that broke out years later, Count Togo achieved a legendary combat damage ratio that greatly boosted the Navy’s morale and reputation.
But the problem is, icing on the cake is not as valuable as providing help in dire times. Count Togo’s already unparalleled battle achievements mean he’s currently high in power and position, and the time and resources needed to ally with this naval commander far exceed the cost of nurturing Duke Ito’s waning influence.
Does Takahashi Shin not understand this calculation?
Wang Yunxiao was quite perplexed by this, so he specifically approached members of the Huitian Organization to pose this question and received an even more baffling answer.
"Duke Ito is from Changzhou Prefecture; how could we support him?"
You guys... forget it.
Upon hearing this answer, Wang Yunxiao realized he was probably overthinking it.
Every family has its own struggles; if you haven’t suffered, don’t advise others to be kind.
Within the Fusang Empire of this era, the army under Changzhou Prefecture and the navy led by the Sakamoto Clan were mortal enemies, unable to share even a pot, not to mention interchanging screws on military equipment.
It’s not that Takahashi Shin doesn’t want to choose Duke Ito; he originates from the Navy, so he can only choose the Navy.
