Inside the office of Governor Yarlin.

Hearing that he was going to be given a task, Xia Feng was slightly surprised.

Although he was now a nobleman and a member of the Yuan Parliament, he did not hold any position in the imperial government from beginning to end, and to put it bluntly, he was neither an official nor a soldier.

In fact, this is true for most of the members of the Yuan Council.

Aristocracy is only status, but it does not have any administrative powers, and some are only aristocratic privileges.

In their own fiefdoms, the local nobility had the responsibility to supervise the local officials and the guard bureau, but only to supervise, and could not interfere.

Now that Chief Yarlin said that he would be given a task, then this is not a job, but a favor, that is, he has the right to refuse.

Of course, it still depends on what this so-called task is.

...

Xia Feng bowed slightly.

"Chief, I don't know what the task is?"

Yarlin has always felt very affable, and has never had any coercion from superiors.

He said with a kind smile.

"Xia Feng, you don't have to call me the chief in private, let alone call me an adult, if you don't dislike it, you can call me uncle, heh, with my age, this shouldn't be taking advantage of you."

This is the Imperial Administration Building, and the Inspector General Capewamy is sitting next to it, and Yarlin actually said that this is "private", which is not to see Capewamy as a "person" at all.

Hearing that Yarlin valued Xia Feng so much, Capewamy just kept his face gloomy and didn't say anything.

Xia Feng knew the relationship between Yarlin and Vina, and also understood Yarlin's intention to deliberately get closer to him, although there was no intersection before, but in the final analysis, they were their own people.

"Then I'd better be respectful, Uncle Arrin."

"Okay."

Xia Feng glanced at Capewamy next to him, and then turned his head to face Yarlin.

"Uncle Arrin, I don't know what mission you are going to give me?"

Arrin casually pulled out a document from under the desk.

"Don't be nervous, it's not a dangerous task, maybe it's an opportunity for you to show your abilities."

With that, Yarlin handed the document to Xia Feng.

Holding the document, there were three big words written on the first page.

【Letter of Appointment】

There is one more line of words underneath.

[The Administration Department of the Victorian Empire appointed Xia Feng, a third-level nobleman in the south, as the director of the Independent Operations Division of the Supervision Department, whose main authority is to deal with events in the empire, including but not limited to, disputes between infected persons, crimes, conflicts, riots, etc.] 】

....

Imperial Inspectorate, Victoria's highest-ranking political and legal body.

It consists of five functional departments.

They are the Law Enforcement Supervision Department, the Administrative Investigation Department, the Security Management Office, the Security Prevention and Control Department, and the Comprehensive Management Department.

The five functions of the Office of the Ombudsman encompass almost all political and legal matters throughout the Victorian Empire, except for the war.

Such as the imperial judicial organs, procuratorial organs, public security organs, judicial administrative organs, state security organs, anti-cult agencies, armed garrisons, and so on.

If the four major military regions are the sharp sword of the empire to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, then the supervision office is the short knife to pacify the interior.

In addition to the permanent military police stationed in the security bureaus of major cities in the territory, the law enforcement team of the Supervision Department has exceeded 40,000 people, and unlike the military, the law enforcement team of the Supervision Department is more flexible in a sense, and it is the elite of the elite in terms of ability, experience, authority, and loyalty.

....

Looking at the letter of appointment in front of him, Xia Feng was a little stunned.

"This?"

Chief Yarlin explained with a smile.

"According to the current national situation, after discussion with the Imperial Administration Department, I have decided to set up a new department in addition to the existing five departments of the Inspectorate, tentatively named the Special Operations Division, with the function of dealing with infected persons in the territory."

Xia Feng did not know much about the composition of the Supervision Office, and for a while he did not understand the position of this special operations department.

"But... I don't have any experience. ”

"No, what you lack is only law enforcement experience, but to deal with and resolve the incident of an infected person, the entire Supervision Office can no longer find a more suitable person than you, because you are an infected person."

Xia Feng is still a little uncertain.

"But what am I going to do about it? Isn't the army more experienced? ”

Yarlin's kind expression showed seriousness for a time.

"No, what I want is not just simple force suppression and extreme measures, but real handling, resolution, prevention, and aftermath, this department is the highest symbol of power for such incidents, you can even construct a reasonable punishment method through your own ideas, I have just discussed with Lord Wami, he will cooperate with you."

....

After listening to Chief Yarlin's words, Xia Feng suddenly realized.

What function, what experience is a later story, he only needs to be clear now, what Chief Yarlin is giving him at this moment is a real right!

It is the highest authority of the local security bureau and the Imperial Inspectorate to deal with the incident of the infected!

....

In the past, this power was almost divided between the Inspectorate and the military, and incidents of infected people that could not be handled by the local military police would be reported to the Inspectorate, which would request military support if it judged the incident to be serious.

The way to deal with it is also very simple, that is, a simple and crude force solution.

Although it is certain that the military will win in the end, the losses in the process are also huge, after all, some of the infected will use the source stone technique.

And now, perhaps the upper echelons of the empire have discovered that the number of infected people in Victoria is increasing, so this authority must be independent and be in charge of "experts".

....

quickly sorted out the logical relationship, and Xia Feng had no reason to refuse.

Chief Yarlin will not harm him, not only will it not harm him, this appointment is almost like peeling the candy and feeding it to his mouth.

It can only be said that it is worthy of Vina's "mother's family", this is a fertile water that does not leave outsiders.

Moreover, even if you put aside the relationship and start from the ability and experience, he is very consistent, and the only point that is a little abrupt should be that he has risen too high at once.

Yarlin is the chief executive of the empire, and no matter how powerful the Inspectorate is, it is not an army, as long as it is not an army, it is all under the control of the chief executive.

Faced with this appointment, Capewamy could not refute it in any way, and could only watch as Yarlin shoved the summer breeze into his "couch place".

....

It's just that although this appointment is very fragrant, Xia Feng is still a little hesitant.

Seeing that Xia Feng didn't immediately agree, Yarlin asked.

"Xia Feng, do you have any concerns, say it, we can discuss."

In front of Capewamy, Xia Feng said unabashedly.

"If I become the head of this special operations department, won't I become Lord Wami's subordinate, I'm more cautious, I'm afraid that Lord Wami will deliberately make trouble for me at that time."

In front of the two high-ranking officials of the empire, Xia Feng's words can be said to be quite straightforward.

Capewamy's face was ugly, and he was obviously old, and he had to be squeezed by juniors.

I saw him leaning back in his chair and snorting heavily.

"Hmph, this is the decision of the Administration Department, I am a person with a clear distinction between public and private, and I am not naïve enough to compete with you kid at work."

"Cut, who knows."

"Do you like to do it or not, I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Hearing Xia Feng's concerns, Chief Yarlin nodded in understanding, and then explained.

"Xia Feng, don't worry, although the Special Operations Department is a functional department under the Supervision Department, it will be independent of the Supervision Department in terms of rights, and has the right to mobilize the army to cooperate with a certain operation, which is jointly founded by the Supervision Department and the General Military Department, you can rest assured that you can only do it, as long as your work is okay, no one will interfere with you."

At the end, Arrin added a sentence that seemed to be deliberately addressed to Capewamy.

"After all, this appointment is also what Princess Verin meant."
