Simulation: Great Power Technology

The exchange between Ye Zhou and Chen Hao finally set the tone for the official's attitude towards the madrigal organization. After just two hours, a comprehensive investigation and crackdown on the madrigal organization was launched nationwide.

A week later, in a command room in the imperial capital.

The Imperial City Branch of the Urban Rapid Response Force, which has just been established specifically for the pastoral organization and other illegal organizations, is having a tactical discussion. The team leader, Qin Chuan, is standing in front of the big screen, introducing the basic situation of the operation.

"...Now we have sufficient evidence to show that the pastoral organization has colluded with the 'Natural Sect', the representative of foreign castrationism. The sabotage of key projects is designed to amplify the negative effects of these projects, thereby instigating public aversion to such projects.”

"We don't know for the time being what their chosen targets are, but from the current situation, the most likely to be selected are several large-scale infrastructure projects including the 318 National Road expansion project, the list is shown on the screen."

"According to relevant experts' speculation, their main strategies may include but are not limited to creating engineering accidents, amplifying human-land disputes, hyping ecological impacts, inciting religious sentiments, etc. At the same time, considering the worst case scenario, we cannot exclude these engineering projects. There have been members of the madrigal organization infiltrating it.”

"That said, we're in a very passive situation right now."

"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. We know nothing about their identities, strategies, and goals, but we must intercept their actions based on the existing conditions."

After listening to his words, one of the following players raised their hand and asked:

"Did the investigation of suspicious personnel from the brother unit in the early stage yield no results?"

Qin Chuan shook his head and replied:

"No. What we're looking for is not a suspect, but a member of a loose organization established in a distributed, decentralized form, whose members basically have legal identities and whose behavior seldom deviates from the daily track. The criminal investigation methods we use are basically useless on them."

"To give a very simple example, under the current technical conditions, it is easy for us to find a black household with no identity at all. However, it is necessary to identify whether an ordinary person is a populist, an elitist, or a radical, The Industrial Party, which is basically impossible, because such a definition leaves no record on any platform, it is held together by purely spiritual qualities."

"Pastoral is such an organization. Most of the time, you don't even feel the existence of this organization, but people who believe in his theory do get together. They are like those fans on the Internet. Small groups are a pain in the ass."

"What's even more unfavorable for us is that the key information of the madrigal organization is in the hands of the upper levels, and almost all the upper levels do not communicate information about madrigals through the Internet or telephone, which makes our technical means completely ineffective."

"Even if they can locate their lower-level members, the information monitored is extremely limited - it can be said that these information are completely fragmented, and we can't piece together a complete clue for him."

The following team members nodded and continued to ask:

"Their upper level always wants to transmit information to the lower level. Do we have a grasp of this way?"

"Yes, but very limited. Here's the problem, we're in a cold start now, and the clues at hand are few enough to support us to go further - but as long as they can take this step, they won't be able to. Jumping again."

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, everyone in the conference room immediately understood what he meant.

What the quick response team lacks now is an entry point, and what is lacking is a quick knife that can tear a hole in the fog surrounding the madrigal organization.

The current madrigal organization is like a pickpocket completely hiding in the crowd to the Quick Reaction Squad, and it is almost impossible to find him before he really makes a move.

"Didn't the people who were caught earlier be tried?"

"What comes out of the trial is all useless information, and it can't reach the upper levels. The Tongtianhe project is now what the people want. They won't rashly take action on this project. The previous sabotage was just a test.

"Can the undercover get through?"

"It's too slow, there's no timeliness, we can't wait."

"Then there's really no way, unless we sacrifice a project to lure them out."

The talking team members spread out their hands and reluctantly leaned back on their chairs.

In fact, from his point of view, the core appeal of this mission is to arrest people. As long as people can be caught, all the problems that follow can be solved.

But the problem is that the most difficult part of the task is catching people. In the absence of any reliable clues, it is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack to find the target person by speculation alone.

You must know that they have never carried out any illegal activities on a large scale, and discussions at the core level are limited to face-to-face and cannot be monitored.

This adversary is extremely cautious, preferring to do nothing until the organization has achieved absolute influence, and to prioritize their own survival.

"If you can't find a way, you can use a project to attract them, of course, but the problem is, we don't know if they will throw out the same abandoned children as the lower-level members in the Tongtianhe project in the early stage."

"Judging from the current situation, the number of members of their organization is large, and they can use a batch and give up a batch. Are we going to bet on the probability? Bet that we can pry something out of the mouth of the person caught this time. ?"

Looking at the embarrassed expressions on the players' faces, Qin Chuan sighed deeply.

As the commander-in-chief of operations, he naturally understands the difficulty of this mission better than others. If they follow the normal case handling process, they should collect evidence step by step, investigate suspects one by one, and finally locate key clues for arrest. .

This process is very accurate and stable, but the problem is that it is too slow.

Their imaginations about the development speed of the madrigal organization—of course, this was also influenced by the government’s previous drastic reforms. A large number of elites who were dissatisfied with this turned into madrigal members, which in disguised form promoted the growth of the organization.

Now, they are about to challenge the existing order for the first time, and they have no reliable clues at all.

It's not that he hasn't thought about arresting all the people who may have problems, but if he does, how many people will he arrest?

How many thousands? Tens of thousands? 100,000 people?

In the current social environment, such a move will have a significant impact on the social order that is already at a fragile stage.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's brows almost knitted together.

His gaze swept across the contemplative team members, and when he was about to speak, a shaggy and shabby-looking team member said:

"It really doesn't work, let's start from the outside."

Qin Chuan turned his gaze to him and said:

"Tell me in detail."

The player sat up straight, coughed and replied:

"Everyone, look, that's what I think."

"From my previous experience dealing with various groups outside, they are generally less cautious than domestic groups."

"We have now determined that the Pastoral Organization is connected with the Natural Sect, so how did they connect? It definitely won't be the Internet - otherwise, we would have listened to it long ago."

"Theoretically, it should be through the connector set up in the territory."

"Of course, this connector will not be fixed, but it doesn't matter."

"People in the madrigal don't use the Internet in the country, but people from the natural sect will use the Internet abroad; the madrigal does not organize large-scale gatherings, but the natural sect does; all the connections in the madrigal are one-way, but the natural sect is definitely two-way. Yes; Pastoral influence is still weak at the moment, but the sect of nature has begun to speak out on a large scale in the public sphere.”

"So, if we can get the core information of the sect of nature, then it is very likely that we can catch the madrigal members who are connected with them, and further, we can use these connectors to crack the structure of the entire madrigal organization."

"According to the previous information, we still have about two weeks. As long as we break the natural sect within a week, the problem of the pastoral organization will be solved."

Hearing his words, Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

That's a good idea, but the problem is....

"How are you going to deal with the sect of nature? We can't do a large-scale overseas operation."

"We don't need to do it, they have enemies."

"Like...Hermes?"

......

An hour later, on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, the headquarters of Hermes.

Bruce Conn looked at the letter just delivered to his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

He had waited too long for this moment.

Before receiving this letter, all of his and Hermes' actions were considered illegal, fanatical, and even anti-social, and even if the authorities would not actively intervene, they generally kept a distance from him with extreme caution .

This situation has made the Hermes organization extremely difficult. The funds raised in the early stage have almost been exhausted, and the confidence of personnel has been declining. After all, before joining Hermes, members felt that they would It's a just cause, but what's next?

Is an unrecognized cause a just cause?

However, starting today, things are about to change dramatically.

The Hermes organization received an application for a cooperative investigation from a civil society in China.

Bruce understands too well the meaning behind this kind of ordinary civil society. If he can get the approval of such a group, then at least he proves that his direction is correct.

Of course, the other party doesn't want to reveal their identity, and the purpose of cooperating with them is just to fight against natural sects and pastoral organizations, but what does it matter?

Hermes was originally an extremely sharp knife, as long as it was held in the right hands, he would not mind how to use it at all.

What's more, according to Bruce's experience, the person who wants to hold the knife is an experienced knight. Compared with himself, the other party knows how to use the least force to cut through the enemy's armor and cut off the enemy's armor. throat.

So, he didn't hesitate at all.

After the power was restored, the entire Hermes organization moved quickly under his dispatch, and their goal was only one:

The headquarters of a natural sect in a neutral country.

The task is very difficult and the time is very limited, but fortunately...Hermes, he can do whatever he can.
