Kaimen Ludlow, the Minister of Finance of the Otter Federation, can be said to be a famous nobleman with an ancient heritage in the Otter Federation. Although this kind of statement is not popular within the Otter Federation, when he entered his official career, his family left him

His identity and bloodline still gave him great help invisibly. He was able to hold such a high-power position as Minister of Finance in his forties, not only because of his own talent, but also because of his surname.

According to the arguments of some scholars who like to examine family genealogies, the Ludlow family should be the second son of a grand duke in a principality in the Old World. The family genealogy was formed during the Great Migration. It can be said that it is one of the oldest families among the many families in the New World.

One.

But Kaimen knew very well that those so-called family legends and family genealogies were all fake. In fact, there was no Ludlow family at all. Everything was just a disguise put on by the Church of Long Song. In fact,

Their family members are all members of the Changsong Church's spy family hidden within the Otter Federation.

Kaimen still has a hard time forgetting that when his father told him the truth when he was an adult, he felt so strong that the world collapsed. He even committed suicide twice because of this. Of course, the external publicity was

He committed suicide because of love, creating a persona of an infatuated person for outsiders.

From the day he can remember, all the education he received was very formal federal education. In his understanding, God does not exist, and all church states are puppets of some kind of evil existence that claims to be God.

Talents are the main body of this world, and the Federation was established for the welfare of mankind and for the future of mankind. All these ideas started from the day he had basic understanding and were continuously instilled in his mind.

Even if he has never believed in these ideas and education, even if his desire since childhood has been to become a carefree and spend-only libertine, this federal orthodox idea is still deeply ingrained in his brain.

, affecting his past words and deeds.

However, all this was broken the day he came of age. For a long time after that, he lived like a zombie in the family manor on the outskirts until he saw the long song that his father deliberately left in the manor villa.

After playing the seventh movement of the song, he got rid of this kind of life and regained his goal in life. It was on that day that he became the Changge Waiter.

No one could have expected that they could become Changsong’s attendants. For Changsong Church, every Changsong’s attendant has been favored by the Changsingers, and in the future, they may become the favored ones of the Gods of the Changsongs.

Become the Pope or Saint of Changsong Church.

The Changge Waiters have always been trained by the Changge Church since childhood. What they have read since childhood is the first movement that represents the true meaning of the Changsong. There has never been a precedent for someone who was not trained by the church to become a Changge Waiter with the seventh movement.

, so this matter also attracted the attention of Changge Church that year. Changge Church even risked being intercepted by the Ministry of Education and secretly sent an ascetic from the Holy Hall here to confirm that Kaimen, the elder

The truth of the song waiter.

After this verification, Kaimen has become the most important chess piece of the Changsong Church in the Ott Federation, and has also become the target of their efforts to cultivate.

Although Kaimen believed that he was able to take the position of Minister of Finance mainly because of his talents, he also had to admit the huge role played by the Changsong Church in this matter, especially the incident that affected the entire

The bribery scandal in the Ministry of Finance directly eliminated 30% of the Ministry of Finance officials and vacated 30% of their positions. His excellent record in financial audits also made him the Chief Audit Officer of the Ministry of Finance, known as an alternate minister.

For a long time, Changge Church has not actively asked Kaimen to perform any tasks. Unlike other chess pieces of Changge Church, there are some tasks that are required to be performed regularly. Compared with the benefits brought by performing certain tasks, it is obvious that he Changge

The identity and current status of the waiter are more important.

But Kaimen also knew very well that the reason why no tasks were given to him before was because those tasks were very simple and the value did not match his identity. But once the Changge Church assigned a task to him, the task might be very arduous, and might even be dangerous.

Completely shatter everything he had in the Outer Federation.

So Kaimen has always been preparing for the mission that will come in the future. Until recently, when the mission he had been waiting for for decades fell into his hands, not only did he not feel surprised or nervous, but he felt inexplicably relieved.

There was a sense of relief, but he didn't like this feeling because it made him feel a little uneasy.

The task content is very simple. He uses his position to question the identity, intentions, etc. of the two foreigners regarding the research expenses of new weapons.

The content of the task seems simple and does not exceed his scope of authority. Even if there is no such task, he will still question the funding review issue at the meeting. This is what he needs to do every day.

But the problem is that this is the work content under normal circumstances, but the current situation within the Ot Federation is not very normal, especially when it comes to the research of new weapons. There is no doubt about it. If he gets stuck on the funding issue, it will be very difficult.

It is easy to become the center of attention and may even arouse the suspicion of some people.

Nowadays, the research and development of new weapons has been regarded as the most important matter of the federal government. This is related to the final state of this anti-church war. Almost all intelligence-related departments within the federal government are paying attention to this matter. Anyone with

Countless pairs of eyes are watching the people and things related to this matter, just to avoid any accidents in this matter.

If he comes forward to raise any objections now, no matter how powerful he is, he will still be investigated repeatedly, not to mention that he has political opponents in politics, and those political opponents will never miss any opportunity to add insult to injury.

Just when Kaimen was thinking about how to complete this task without being targeted for investigation, something unexpected happened. At a meeting convened by the Prime Minister to discuss the development of new weapons, the Minister of Education

He actually directly questioned the purpose of the couple. The reason was that the couple seemed to be using various methods to try to get close to the big secret that had been hidden by the federal government for many years.

At first, just as Kaimen thought, the minister of the Ministry of Education became the target of criticism. Those who the Ministry of Education had offended in the past also attacked him, thinking that he was deliberately delaying the development of new weapons. This was

Capitalizing on the enemy.

But in the second half of the meeting, when a director of national security-related intelligence came in and brought over a piece of information about the couple's past experiences, things began to change, because anyone with a brain can

From this information, we can see a lot of things that are wrong.

For example, the couple first appeared in a small inland mountain country, but there was no information about the two of them before. It was as if the two of them had jumped out of a stone. This was obviously a huge problem.

question.

After that, the couple traveled around the New World like two travelers. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but if you look at this matter with the eyes of an observer, you will find that the two of them seemed more like deliberately traveling around various countries.

It leaves a lot of traces and makes investigation difficult for future pursuers.

In the end, the couple visited so many countries, but chose to settle in the Ot Federation. Although the people of the Federation are extremely confident and proud of their country, and think that the Ot Federation is the best country in the world, in fact everyone knows very well

, the Ot Federation is definitely not the most suitable country for settlement in the world, and it is not even ranked as the most suitable country for settlement in the New World.

But this couple chose the Ot Federation as the country to settle down, and deliberately did all kinds of amazing things to attract other people's attention. This was completely different from their previous behavior when traveling to other countries.

The various information revealed from these intelligence materials made people who saw this intelligence material couldn't help but have an inexplicable suspicion. They suspected that the foreign couple actually came to the Ote Federation for a purpose, and they also had a purpose.

Want to get close to the secrets under the Capitol building, etc.

When suspicion began to spread, Kaimen felt that an opportunity had come, so he became worried about the funds for research and development of new weapons, especially when the federal government needed to pay a large amount of reparations and support battlefield logistics in various places. It also needed to make such a large advance.

A fee will directly affect the normal operation of the federal government.

When raising concerns, he also took out the budget report on weapons research and development expenses, but that budget report was a modified report. On top of the original research and development funds, a large number of other departmental inputs were added to try to make money.

The miscellaneous funds have increased the original R&D funds by more than three times, reaching a very scary amount.

This revised funding report was not his instruction, but a default rule. Other similar funding reports will also add some additional funding applications, so even if someone investigates, it is impossible to investigate Kaimen.

On the body.

In addition to the budget report presented by Kaimen, some heads of small departments also raised doubts about the foreign couple. What really had an impact was the report made by a hawkish general in the military.

There have been some unfounded suspicions, all of which suggest that the couple may be spies from neighboring church countries. The recent reactions of those church countries are actually cooperating in order to make the federation think that the weapon is harmful to surrounding countries.

The threat is huge.

The hawkish military general is a complete federal supremacist who looks down on any foreigner. Even the popes of other churches are no more than maggots in his mouth. Normally, his words will only make people think that he is another

He was talking nonsense, but now his words are enough to make people have some bad associations.

As a result, things developed in the direction Kaimen wanted to see. The Prime Minister temporarily shelved the research and development proposal for new weapons and began to investigate the two foreigners.

Some people also suggested whether the two men should be put under house arrest first to prevent them from escaping. However, this proposal was unfortunately not adopted. Even the investigation was only a secret investigation, because according to the intelligence, Longenus seemed to know the pair.

couple.

For Kaimen, it is no longer his business to investigate the two foreigners. He has completed the task assigned by Changge Church. I believe others will follow up on the next thing.

As far as he knew, the surrounding church states had placed many chess pieces within the federal government, and those chess pieces should be activated at this time.

Perhaps because the task was successfully completed, his mood became much more relaxed, so when he went to work today, he changed his stern attitude and told a few jokes at the meeting, and also complimented the secretary on his dress.

, making everyone in the office wonder if he has a lover.

After leaving the office in the evening, Kaimen did not let the carriage take him home, but planned to go to a nearby small and atmospheric bar for a drink.

However, as the carriage slowly drove into an alley and suddenly stopped, the uneasiness he felt when receiving the mission suddenly became particularly strong, and he immediately became alert.

"Bernard, why did you stop?" Kaimen asked the coachman while taking out two weapons from the hidden compartment in the wine cabinet beside him and holding them in his hands.

"Minister Kaimen, you may not be able to go home smoothly today. We have something that requires your cooperation in investigating." At this time, a voice that sounded familiar to Kaimen came from outside the car.

Kaimen's face became a little ugly, and he recognized that the voice was that of the leader of the third team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Interior has a total of nine groups, each of which is responsible for different departments and different levels of federal officials. The third group has the greatest authority. Even members of Congress and Supreme Court judges are under their jurisdiction. The Ministry of Finance

The minister is naturally among them.

Under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Interior's investigations against officials are conducted secretly. When it is advanced to the point where it is necessary to lead an investigation, it means that the investigation has come to an end, all the necessary evidence is complete, and the team leader personally goes out, in addition to asking for help

In addition to the very special status of the arrested target, more importantly, it means that the evidence in the Ministry of Interior's possession is conclusive. The current arrest operation is just a formality. The next step is to hand it over directly to the court and prosecutor's office for trial and sentencing.

According to past cases, in almost all arrests initiated by the team leader, the arrested persons were all sent to prison, without exception, or even sentenced to death.

After confirming that the person leading the team was the leader of the third team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even though Kaimen didn't know how his true identity was exposed, he was sure that his end was doomed. What he needed to choose now was

Should he make a last-ditch effort, or should he just surrender?
Chapter completed!
