Xiao Ming was not surprised by Zhou Xiaofei's report.
According to his in-depth discussions with Iris and Ivan, there were multiple possibilities for the cause of the overall riot.
For now, just get the most obvious one out of the way.
"Mr.
President, there may be other factors."
Zhou Xiaofei suddenly hesitated and glanced at Gong Er.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming knew that he had some scruples, so he picked up a document and said, "Madam, give this to Iris."
In the past few days, Gong Er's tacit understanding with him has become stronger and stronger.
He took the documents and left without saying much.
There were only two people left in the room.
Zhou Xiaofei felt uneasy and turned around to look around, as if he was exploring something.
Xiao Ming smiled: "Don't worry, my people have already thoroughly searched the room before moving in, and also activated the anti-eavesdropping device, so no secrets will be revealed."
Only then did Zhou Xiaofei feel at ease, leaning down and whispering: "I suspect that this incident was man-made, and was done by people within the empire."
Xiao Ming's heart moved, and Zhou Xiaofei also thought of this.
He was worthy of being an old subordinate brought out by himself.
He was deliberately puzzled: "No way, the victim this time is the Empire.
If it is the Republic, it will be more or less the same."
Zhou Xiaofei said distressedly: "This is also what confuses me.
If I didn't know the Republic very well, I would have thought that it was you who caused it."
Xiao Ming felt the same.
If there was anyone in the Fourth Empire that he could trust, Zhou Xiaofei was undoubtedly one of them.
He asked tentatively: "Could there be any dissident elements within the empire?
You are the three leaders of the secret police, so you should know better than anyone else."
Zhou Xiaofei sighed: "My time in the department is limited, and I don't understand many situations.
It's a pity that Sister B died in an accident.
I remember what investigations she did before, but she didn't leave any relevant files.
Maybe it's related to this matter."
Xiao Ming's heart was like a mirror, and he deliberately blamed himself: "I have an unshirkable responsibility for Miss B's death.
However, isn't there another Mr.
C?
Why don't you report to him?"
Zhou Xiaofei's eyes showed a hint of awe: "Although Mr.
C, Sister B, and I are under his leadership, he always only asks about the results, not the process.
Therefore, only when Sister B and I achieve substantial results in our work can we report to him." .
Otherwise, he won’t even see us.”
"Oh, real people don't show their faces."
Xiao Ming became more and more interested in Mr.
C.
This man is indeed a man who does great things.
If he can be trusted, I believe he has the means to deal with Caesar.
"Mr.
President, as far as I know, you have also placed some spies in the empire.
Maybe you can help me with things that are inconvenient for me to do."
Only then did Zhou Xiaofei reveal his true purpose.
"Good boy, come prepared."

Xiao Ming was half sarcastic and half complimentary.
This old subordinate of his has really grown up very quickly and knows how to borrow the strength of others to avoid being in a disadvantageous situation.
If it were a secret agent of the Republic secretly investigating people within the empire, even if the matter was exposed, Zhou Xiaofei would not be implicated.
"Mr.
President, I'm not threatening you."
Zhou Xiaofei rubbed his head in embarrassment.
From Xiao Ming's point of view, it was exactly what he wanted, and they hit it off immediately.
He laughed and said, "Xiao Fei, I didn't know that you would be happy to cooperate."
When it comes to people who are good at taking advantage of situations, Xiao Ming is the real master.
His core fighting philosophy is "everything is for my use."
Fighting for everyone who can be fought for and uniting all the forces that can be united are the important reasons why he is today.
After sending Zhou Xiaofei away, Xiao Ming immediately issued the highest order through the accompanying correspondent to the underground intelligence network established by the second battalion commander in the empire, and made every effort to investigate the clues of the overall riot and those behind it.
He naturally knew that the person behind the scenes was Caesar, but he could not find out.
He only hoped to create an atmosphere of pressing closer and closer, so that Caesar would reveal some flaws, which might be a breakthrough.
The dismissed Gong Er returned to the presidential suite and brought back two documents from the embassy, one from the capital and one from the Imperial Senate.
The capital's document was an official reply.
Regarding the empire's proposal for the two countries to jointly respond to the overall riot, after discussion by the Republic's cabinet, it was temporarily shelved on the grounds of lack of ability and too much time to take care of itself.
The result was as expected by Xiao Ming.
This kind of mentality of watching the fire from the other side was probably Caesar's intention.
Xiao Ming also almost guessed the reason why Caesar formed a resistance organization and founded the Republic.
He wanted to establish two competing forces on the European continent to prevent one from becoming dominant.
Only then could he fish in troubled waters, pull both sides, and successfully launch a conspiracy to destroy the world.
He had to admire this guy.
If it were him, he might not have such skill and ability.
The document of the Senate is a supplementary agreement to the armistice agreement, with only one article: In order to deal with enemies other than humans, weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, may be used when necessary.
This supplementary agreement is related to Xiao Ming, because in the battle at the border post, he was the first to use micro-nuclear bombs and achieved good results, so it was natural to expand the scope.
Without saying a word, Xiao Ming signed his name on the supplementary agreement, two crooked Chinese characters called Xiao Ming.
