Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Although Zhou Xu had withdrawn his troops from the Smith Kingdom, it did not mean that he was completely unconcerned about the situation here.

After all, the situation here was unclear, and there was the greenskins as an external threat. Even if it was out of caution, he would send people to keep an eye on it.

And he did so. He reached a consensus with Yalvette directly. Both sides sent Pegasus Knights and Giant Eagle Knights to form reconnaissance teams, taking turns to monitor the Smith Kingdom from the air and confirm the latest developments here.

In this way, if the greenskins take any action, they can also confirm the news in the first time and then respond.

At this moment, some intelligence has been delivered to Zhou Xu.

"Rakshasa Republic..."

Zhou Xu, who understood the situation, had a subtle expression.

With the slave uprising, the Smith Kingdom directly split into two countries.

It cannot be said that he did not expect this at all. After all, when Zhou Xu saw the mark, he already knew that there was a Chosen One on the other side making trouble.

However, there is a female warrior tribe between their Great Zhou and the Smith Kingdom. When he has a lot of things to do at home, he is too lazy to do any cross-border operations to add trouble to himself.

At present, it seems that neither side can do anything to the other.

He had made a simple assessment of this matter before.

If the other party has no means to restrict Fisher, then when Fisher leads his troops back, it will be a matter of time to suppress the rebellion.

"Now it seems that there is a high probability that there is also a Vajra Realm warrior or a Saint Realm mage of the same level in the Luosha Republic, otherwise how can Fisher be restricted?"

Leaning on the chair, Zhou Xu muttered to himself, slowly sorting out his thoughts.

"But a strong man of this level can't just appear out of thin air, right?"

It is obviously unrealistic to appear out of thin air, but with limited information, Zhou Xu can only roughly guess that the Chosen One should have crossed over a long time ago, but in the environment of the Smith Kingdom, he has never shown up, but has been accumulating strength in secret.

I'm afraid he has been accumulating strength for many years, just waiting for this wave of rise.

It is not a good thing that the Smith Kingdom split into two countries, which caused their original strength to be divided into two.

When they face the attack of the greenskins again, they will most likely be defeated one by one.

Now that no one can do anything to anyone, the best way should be to negotiate, but the premise is that both sides must reach a consensus.

In this way, the Smith Kingdom has two high-end combat forces, which will be stronger than before.

However, he still does not need to take the Smith Kingdom seriously.

Not to mention that the female warrior tribe is on their side, even if they do not bring the female warrior tribe, they have two mages in the holy realm, plus Qiansui, the extraordinary creature in the Vajra realm, and three to two is easy to fight.

Of course, all this is just his speculation at present.

At this stage, the information that can be obtained is too little, and he is only making a rough guess based on limited information.

"Should I develop a spy business?"

This situation made Zhou Xu think of the profession of "spy".

In fact, there is a similar profession in their Great Zhou, that is, the Inspection Department.

However, the work of the Inspection Department is mainly internal, while spies are mainly external, lurking in other countries, responsible for intelligence collection, or performing some secret missions.

Before, their Great Zhou did not have much demand for spies. Take Copperforge as an example. How can he send spies so that they will not be discovered by the dwarves of Copperforge?

The answer is obvious. No matter how he sends them, they will be discovered. The species on both sides are different.

But with the development of the battlefield of the coalition forces, he will inevitably come into contact with more human forces in the future, and even have to coexist with them for a long time. In this case, the existence of spies is very necessary.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu turned his head and ordered someone to call Ye Jinghong, the director of the Inspection Department.

Obviously, he planned to give the work of training spies to Ye Jinghong.

Since becoming the director of the Inspection Department, Ye Jinghong's presence has not been high, but this is exactly what he needs for this position. He needs to lurk in the dark and monitor everything inside the Great Zhou while ensuring his own safety.

From corrupt officials to the unruly people who secretly drive public opinion and incite public sentiment, the Inspection Department has dealt with quite a few of them in recent years.

It is considered a very important part of the current governance system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite!"

Over the years, Ye Jinghong's face has become much more mature than it was back then.

After letting Ye Jinghong sit down at the side, Zhou Xu went straight to the point and talked to him about training spies.

"The work content of the Inspection Department itself is actually somewhat similar to this. The biggest difference is that spies need to infiltrate other countries and integrate into an environment that is completely unfamiliar to them."

Zhou Xu has never been a spy and does not have professional knowledge in this area. At this moment, he can only tell Ye Jinghong what he knows and even some ideas as much as possible.

As for how to train specifically in the future...

I can only say that you have to believe in the talents under your command!

Ye Jinghong listened very seriously. In the process, he also roughly understood why their Majesty gave him the task of training spies.

He had to admit that the work of spies did have something in common with their Audit Division.

From this point of view, if you want to train spies, there is currently no more suitable candidate than him in Dazhou.

Of course, he still had to go back and think about the specific training plan.

After all, this matter cannot be mishandled. In the words of His Majesty, once this matter is mishandled, it will become an international issue, which makes Ye Jinghong have to treat it with caution.

Meanwhile, the southern region…

According to the current progress of laying train tracks in the southern border, steam trains can already bring people to most areas in the south, which also allows the entire immigration work to be carried out quickly and with high efficiency.

Since immigrants often move away as a family, in addition to a large number of adults who have been psychologically prepared for it, there are also many children who have no choice but to be taken away by their parents.

Looking at the desolate environment and simple villages in front of them, these children were all on the verge of crying.

"So we gave up life in Xishan City just to come here to eat dirt? Dad, you must be crazy! We might not have time to go back now!"

In response, my father just smiled and then lost his mind.

"You know nothing. In a few years, you will know how wise your father and I are in this decision!"
