Chapter 732 Return to Headquarters
"Finally home!"
Xirik looked at the solemn and dignified Navy Headquarters, feeling somewhat emotional. In fact, only one year had passed since the end of the bloody battle.
Yet it felt like a long time had passed.
The large naval warships slowly approached the shore. The warships, like sea fortresses, were important weapons for the navy to maintain order at sea and deter pirates.
Of course, in Xirik's eyes, it was just that.
The warships of the Kingdom of Chronos are far superior to naval warships in terms of technological content and destructive power.
To be honest, they are not even on the same level.
However, the navy warships are indeed the top-level warships on the sea.
It is considered a high-end warship.
Get off the battleship.
Xirik looked at the admiral from the North Sea beside him and said, "We'll meet again later. I'm going to the Marshal's office to report first."
In order to maintain close relationships among colleagues, it is naturally necessary to get together at the headquarters. Moreover, many colleagues have not seen each other for a long time.
At the headquarters, the naval generals who had received the news in advance were also preparing to welcome Xirik and his men.
This kind of thing is actually very common in the Navy Headquarters.
Sometimes it may take several months to return after going out on a mission.
For those who go to the four seas or guard the naval branch, it may take several years.
Although Xirik was not interested in such gatherings, he would never refuse.
He needed to ensure his power within the navy.
On the way here, he also contacted many of his "close" friends.
Xirik was also thinking about who to bring in after the purge of the Criminal Investigation Department.
Xirik knows too many friends, and with his strong memory, he has developed an ability that is almost like a photographic memory.
He knows each of his friends and remembers their names, appearances, personalities, hobbies, and even birthdays.
Although Xirik seems to be rather indifferent, he is actually a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside in the eyes of others.
Always care for others when appropriate.
In the bloody battle, they demonstrated their outstanding combat effectiveness and saved countless navy lives.
Just like He said, in the absence of Kayle, Xirik actually has a lot of friends.
First of all, this matter cannot be exposed.
It would be meaningless if the identities of the members of the Criminal Investigation Department were exposed.
It requires strong lurking abilities, psychological qualities, and even acting skills, and it requires one to enter various naval branches naturally and monitor any possible illegal activities.
And if possible, it is necessary to gain the trust of those corrupt navy officers and obtain the most direct evidence of their crimes.
This is their mission.
To be precise, their identities are intelligence personnel and spies.
However, the object of surveillance is the navy itself.
Xirik was thinking about who would be more suitable for this job.
While on the warship, he had written down the names one by one, filling up a small notebook.
There are quite a few of them, with more than 500 navy officers.
Most of them came from the North Sea Navy, and the rest came from the Navy Headquarters.
Xirik must know more about the North Sea Navy, followed by the Naval Headquarters.
For them, Xirik needs to invite them one by one. Not all of them will join the new Criminal Investigation Department, but some of them will be enough.
All beginnings are hard.
Xirik has already solved this beginning.
The next logical step was to purge the Criminal Investigation Department and use the opportunity of transfer to place them in various branches.
At that time, Zhan Guo also proposed the idea of arranging some intelligence personnel under his command.
I was afraid that Xirik would find it difficult to carry out his work, so I gave him some help.
Without manpower, he is like a tiger without teeth, without any rights, and no one will care about him.
He knew that Xirik would definitely purge the Criminal Investigation Department, and the vacancies would need to be filled.
However, Xirik refused. He had already secured the manpower and did not need anyone to plant a stake in the Criminal Investigation Department.
Even if he didn't mean that, Xirik hoped that the Criminal Investigation Department would be completely under his control.
Xirik also felt some emotion in his heart.
Because, from now on, he would become an enemy of part of the navy.
The news that he would become the head of the Criminal Investigation Department was not revealed.
Only Sakaski, Sengoku and Chief of Staff Tsuru knew about it.
This kind of department is hidden in the dark, just like an intelligence department.
In addition to being promoted to vice admiral, Xirik also needs to have an official identity, that is, chief of staff.
He is a member of the general staff under He, and He is equivalent to his superior.
This identity is naturally real, which makes it convenient for Xirek to act, equivalent to holding multiple positions.
The position of Chief of Staff was not a surprise to others.
After graduating from the elite training camp, before going to the North Sea, he worked in the Intelligence Department and the General Staff Department respectively. The abilities he demonstrated were excellent, but not too eye-catching.
At that time, Xirik was still relatively low-key.
It is actually very easy to cleanse the Criminal Investigation Department.
Xirik will contact them one by one, or arrange people to monitor their behavior.
Those who have decent abilities and have not colluded with outsiders will stay.
As for the others, Xirik would not alert them and would directly send them out and concentrate them in a naval base.
It was equivalent to exile. From then on, whether he lived or died had nothing to do with him.
This kind of identity is confidential, and Xirik simply erased their identities as members of the Criminal Investigation Department, and no one cared.
After all, the Warring States would support him.
Cyric has integrated himself into the navy.
In order to gain the absolute trust of the Navy and the World Government, Xirik even has a child.
The child just turned one year old, named Higgins, and was born after the bloody battle.
As for his wife, it was Mystra who followed him into the navy and was a core member of the Dark Sun Cult whom he had conquered in the early days.
After graduating from the elite training camp, he also returned to the North Sea to work and help Xirik deal with North Sea affairs.
Now he has returned to the Navy Headquarters with Xirik.
Mystra's potential is pretty good on the sea.
It may be difficult to become a lieutenant general, but it should be no problem to become a brigadier general or major general.
Impeccable in appearance.
After all, Mystra actually came from a wealthy family, but her family was destroyed because of pirates.
In addition, since Mistra had this intention in the first place, this matter just happened naturally.
Xirik also held a simple wedding and invited Sakaski and several familiar friends to witness it.
Many people know about it, and this is one of the main reasons why Xirik was able to gain the trust of the headquarters.
Is there anything more trustworthy than the bond of family and kinship?
After Xirik and others have completely stabilized, after a few years, he sent Mystra and the children to the North Sea.
He didn't want his children to get too emotionally involved in the navy, so he lived in a small town behind Marinford to avoid too much contact with the navy.
Besides, he didn't think the Navy Headquarters was safe.
In Xirik's view, only by receiving education from the kingdom can one have a real future.
Kyle was no less impressive, and met a noble girl named Ke'er in the East China Sea.
Interestingly, it was the noble girl who took a liking to Kyle and joined the navy on purpose.
Gradually, the two became familiar with each other, and Kyle was not opposed to it, so they established a relationship.
Kyle didn't really need to do this.
Because the World Government already knows his identity.
However, there are also advantages to doing so. In the eyes of the World Government, it means that the son of Hades really wants to join the navy.
The Kingdom of Chronos is also showing its closeness to the World Government.
Xirik and Kyle found their other half during their work. I wonder how many people in the navy envy them.
Mystra is a little humble in front of Cyric, but within the navy, she is also the goddess of countless people.
Chiglar, who joined the navy with them, is now also a brigadier general.
Seeing that Xirik and Kyle had both found their other half, he had similar thoughts.
Planning the navy and gaining a foothold in the navy would definitely take decades, and during this period he could not treat himself badly.
His ability is excellent. Even though he is not as amazing as Kyle and Xirik, he is still an elite of the younger generation within the navy.
He plans to find a naval base to base permanently.
The fact that they have so many brothers and sisters is, to a certain extent, also influenced by Hades.
