Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1313 - 1279: Intelligence Team

From the intelligence gathered so far, this series of loops not only resembles a Mobius Ring, endlessly looping, but also has numerous branches and leads that are hard to discern between true and false. To unravel and extract truly valuable information, one not only needs enough patience but also a pair of discerning eyes.

Having been in deep contact with the grand scheme laid by the high-level strategist Chen Fei mentioned, Kraken, who has worked in intelligence for many years, has also detected some traces. Some habitual behaviors are not easily changed. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Just like during World War II with intelligence decryption, a seemingly ordinary greeting, "Hi, Hitler!" allowed the Allies to find a breakthrough, making the painstaking encryption immediately transparent. This was merely the alphabetical shift encryption of the Latin language. If it were the Yinfu Scripture instead, the difficulty would be much greater.

It is precisely because of these habitual patterns that they often become breakthroughs. As long as a person is involved, there will always be habitual operations. Unless you change people and habits, but changing people often exposes even bigger flaws due to transition, so changing the lineup in battle is a big taboo. Trusting your subordinates is not just about trust; it's also a helpless choice of weighing pros and cons.

"I want to review the previous work again. Sometimes the cunning hunter often appears in the form of prey."

Intelligence analysis work is a hunt, and Kraken's entry into Chen Fei's sight and receiving a certain level of recognition certainly shows he's no amateur.

"You mean the one orchestrating this might already be under our noses, just perfectly disguised?"

Chen Fei also realized this possibility, gently massaging his temple with his forefinger. Although he's not lacking in intelligence, he's still not used to these mind-bending games. Isn't it better to just charge through directly? In the end, it still comes down to real strength to reveal the truth.

He is not as professional as Kraken, nor can he devote all his time and energy to this.

The "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, Socotra Island, the two Star Systems, and some coordination work with sovereignties can't be delegated to others. A whole bunch of chaotic affairs needs Chen Fei to personally handle.

The Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" only excels in optimizing processing efficiency according to Chen Fei's habits but lacks decision-making capabilities. Due to a shortage of reliable and usable talents, many secrets are not fit for too many people to know, making it inevitable for Chen Fei to be hands-on,

"It's possible!"

Kraken was equally skeptical.

There are many suspects, most of whom have already been destroyed, with bosses and key members all dead, but who knows if it's a disguised escape?

"Establish an analysis and screening list. I'll have the monk assist you, and there might be some professionals as well."

Chen Fei thought of the two million Cangqiong Star People about to enter the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space in batches.

Being able to stir up trouble under the nose of the Slan Dynasty should mean they have some abilities. Those rebel remnants probably still retain quite a few intelligence personnel, and since they are non-combat personnel, they are easier to survive and can be used by Chen Fei.

Chen Fei is not the Slan Royal Family with a deep hatred for the rebellion, nor is he even a Cangqiong Star native. These rebel families serving him won't have much resistance, after all, as long as there's a salary, serving anyone is still work.

Miyoshi Xuesen either sets up stalls every day or sets up stalls; his boring retired life is idle, anyway. Upon receiving instructions from Chen Fei, he immediately joined his hands in greeting to Kraken and said a Buddhist phrase: "Maintain full connection during work hours!"

Both parties staying connected not only allows for instant information exchange but also keeps an eye on whether Kraken is slacking off.

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

It's just a matter of adding a webcam and earpiece, saving the effort of phone calls. Intelligence dealer Kraken would certainly not refuse; otherwise, it would seem suspicious.

"'Adam,' filter the list of exiled personnel from the Slan Dynasty and pick out those with intelligence work experience, making a separate list."

In front of Kraken and Miyoshi Xuesen, Chen Fei instructed the Artificial Intelligence AI as if talking to himself.

"Exiled personnel from the Slan Dynasty?"

Kraken was unaware of this, but Miyoshi Xuesen knew, though he didn't leak it to others.

If he weren't discreet, the monk might have been gone long ago.

Blue Star's First Sovereign was also aware, having sent a governing team to assist with managing "Denggao" City's affairs and gradually handling the reception work related to the Cangqiong Star exiled population. However, other sovereignties of Blue Star were left in the dark, which wasn't necessary to know. The "Boundary Pearl" Life Space is Chen Fei's private property, and it's rightful for sovereignties to help their citizens, with no right for others to interfere.

"A population of 2.14 million, with 60% being able-bodied adults, capable of forming 500,000 combat personnel and corresponding logistics personnel at any time."

Since Chen Fei took the intelligence dealer Kraken under his wing, he would eventually reveal some details to him.

The Cangqiong Star People exiled to the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space are all unarmed. The Slan Dynasty wouldn't give them weapons, only some personal belongings like soft valuables, waiting for Chen Fei's work assignments to exchange for money and living supplies. The city of "Denggao," being built from scratch, can conveniently absorb this population.

"Hiss!~"

The intelligence dealer had a momentary misunderstanding, assuming these 500,000 ready-to-fight people were Chen Fei's confidence in having his way on the South Continent of America.

The theoretical numbers on paper are entirely different from reality.

Although there indeed are this many people, they have not undergone any reorganization or cohesion training, and if even 10% of the combat capability can be utilized, it would already be a blessing. Not to mention, after the Slan Dynasty's rebellion suppression troops surrendered, the morale was completely gone, making these hundreds of thousands of troops visible but useless, unable to be utilized at all.

Only by spending at least a year and a half and a lot of equipment on training might the actual combat power be restored. At this stage, the existing Combat Mech army is far more effective.

"These numbers have nothing to do with you. About a thousand or so personnel have military intelligence work experience. You will be responsible for online interviews to form a remote intelligence analysis team. They won't come over, so maintain confidentiality. If there's a leak, you'll be held accountable."

Chen Fei warned the intelligence dealer Kraken not to sell any intelligence impulsively due to professional habits.

Accompanying Chen Fei's words, Miyoshi Monk made a sinister gesture of drawing his thumb across his throat, scaring the intelligence dealer into immediately extinguishing the thought of selling this intelligence for a good price.

In a sense, intelligence dealers are not much different from media personnel, trading unknown news for the best price while it's still relevant, till the information becomes too common.

"I dare not, I dare not!"

Cold sweat trickled down Kraken's back, realizing that this "tyrant" was not making empty threats but was capable of harsh measures.

"The list and contact methods will be sent to you later. You're in charge."

Chen Fei entrusted this important task to Kraken. Managing a team is different from working alone, but the intelligence dealer was virtually forced into this responsibility.

The intelligence personnel list filtered by Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" included approximately 1,422 people. Kraken's time and energy aren't enough to interview them all completely; the first batch would rely on first impressions, eventually proceeding with mutual interviews to select suitable professionals until the entire team is formed.

Although past experiences may not necessarily apply similarly, the regular army is still a regular army, with a foundation inherently stronger than the guerrillas like Kraken, especially in identifying genuine intelligence. These intelligence experts who once served in the military are more obviously capable. After some contact time, they will soon grasp the essentials.

Half an hour later, the intelligence dealer Kraken returned to the city.

The temporary lodging rented by Chen Fei is semi-public, not directly announced, but still traceable if someone is intent on investigating.

He isn't worried about people secretly surveilling nearby. The yellow sparrow follows behind; who knows who is really watching whom!

Miyoshi Xuesen was flipping through the list of suspicious forces compiled by Kraken, muttering as he tried to deduce which high-level hunter might have transformed into the prey.

Seeing the monk so diligently engaged, Chen Fei didn't disturb his enthusiasm. Like a puzzle game, it is both difficult and challenging, providing extra emotional value as well.

It's expected that once the team composed of Cangqiong Star intelligence personnel is fully harmonized, traces of that "hunter" will finally begin to show.
