861 Becoming a High Ranking Official of the Federation
“May I know why you’ve called me here, Marshal Zhu?” Chu Yunfan asked straightforwardly.
“Since you’ve asked me directly, I won’t beat around the bush. Would you be interested in joining the government?” Zhu Buping said.
Chu Yunfan’s face was calm, but he thought to himself, ‘It’s finally here. With my strength, it’s impossible for the Federation to remain indifferent.’??e?????ov?l.c??
He had carefully weighed the pros and cons of this. There were naturally many benefits to joining the government. After all, with the financial resources it had was ten times that of the Chu clan’s. They even had a number of Divine monsters’ inner cores.
After boarding this ship, there would be many benefits. And especially now that he was in need of time, and the Federation could buy him time.
“There’s no need to hesitate. After all, although you’re from the Chu clan, you aren’t considered a core member. Besides, this doesn’t conflict with your service to the Federation,” Zhu Buping said.
“There’s no need to say more. I’m willing to serve the Federation,” Chu Yunfan said firmly. “After all, I’m also a part of the Federation. It’s only natural.”
Chu Yunfan didn’t say whether he wanted to join the army or the government. The relationship between these two parties was complicated, and it would be troublesome for a newcomer like him to deal with it. However, serving the Federation was another matter.
He had the final say on what counted as serving the Federation.
“Good. Straightforward. You’re indeed the descendant of a soldier.” Zhu Buping’s eyes flashed with a hint of admiration.
“What tasks does the government plan to a.s.sign me?” Chu Yunfan asked after some thought. With the current system, whether it was politics or the military, neither seemed very suitable for him.
“Politics and military aren’t very suitable for you right now. So, after some discussion, we hope that you can take over the Special Operations Department,” Zhu Buping said.
“The special operations department?” Chu Yunfan’s eyes were filled with doubt, because he had never heard of such a thing.
“The Special Operations Department is a department specially set up by the president to deal with major and terrible cases caused by martial arts masters of all sizes in the Federation,” Zhu Buping said, “Ordinary cases are naturally handled by the local police. If the police can’t handle it, the local garrison will suppress it.
“However, there will always be some experts whose strength far exceeds the level that the garrison can handle. At this time, Special Ops will need to take action.
“It’s precisely because they are dealing with experts from all sides that they need a strong expert to hold the fort. The head of the department was originally your instructor, but he has since disappeared. We hope you can be the new head of Special Ops.”
Chu Yunfan didn’t expect his instructor to hold such a position within the government, but it made sense. After entering the Divine Abilities Stage, it would be a waste of talent to just have him teach. Even a giant like Federation University was no exception.
“Special Ops is directly under the president’s command, and no one else is allowed to interfere. After you become the head, you will have the power to deal with all matters within the Federation. Now, you know that the president has gone missing, and the holy land, the marine folsk, and Infinite Demon Mountain are all eyeing our territory covetously.
“Recently after the members of the holy land and the marine folks entered the Federation, vicious cases have been happening one after another. Even the overseas sects, which have always been obedient, have begun to show signs of revolting.
“As for the Monster Cult, the number of missing people has doubled compared to the past. We have destroyed several of their bases and found that the missing people. They have either become food for the demons or their experimental materials.
“However, the Monster Cult still has many such bases. Although the army is strong, it’s a bit of a waste to get a tiger catch to catch these rats,” Zhu Buping said, “The government doesn’t have a dragon head, and we’ve been grieviously infiltrated by the various great aristocratic families. We’re too weak when it comes to dealing with these matters. Under such circ.u.mstances, Special Ops urgently needs a powerful figure like you to hold the fort.”
After listening to Zhu Buping’s explanation, Chu Yunfan realized that although the Federation looked calm on the surface, there were undercurrents in the dark.
The Federation had as many forces as the hairs on a cow. It was fine on normal days as the Federation’s strength was sufficient to suppress them. However, the disappearance of the president had dealt a great blow to the Federation.
Chu Yunfan felt a headache just listening to this. The government had never been soft-hearted when dealing with these illegal crimes, but now it had reached a point where even they found it difficult to deal with, so one could imagine how serious the situation was.
“Do you have the confidence to take up the post? This job will definitely be very difficult, but I can tell you that you will also have many benefits. The financial resources of the Federation are not something that the Chus can compare to. We can help you to sprint to the Divine Abilities Stage. By then the Fluttering Blooms, even a Star Destroyer would be justa foot note,” Marshal Zhu Buping said as he stood with his hands behind his back. “If it’s the entire holy land, we might be a little afraid, but it’s just one sect. Even if they have three to five Divine experts, we’re not afraid.”
Zhu Buping’s words were already very straightforward. If Chu Yunfan joined them, the government would protect him.
“All right, I accept,” Chu Yunfan immediately agreed.
Although the threat of the Fluttering Blooms was undoubtedly an additional burden, he confident in the protection of the military. The most important thing was the disappearance of the president and the whereabouts of his instructor.
He had not been able to find the time to investigate before, but now he could investigate through the power of the Special Operations Department.
“That’s right. When you work for the Federation, the Federation will not forget you,” Zhu Buping said, “Then I shall take my leave now. I have to get back to outer s.p.a.ce.”
Chu Yunfan recalled the discovery of the ruins in outer s.p.a.ce that Chu Haoyue had mentioned. He didn’t expect that even Zhu Buping would be fighting for it.
The news of Chu Yunfan becoming the head of the Special Operations Department couldn’t be hidden. It quickly spread among the higher-ups of the Federation, and then among the ordinary people.
This was the first time so many had heard of the Special Operations Department. However, just by hearing the name, they knew that this department was not simple. If it was just an ordinary department, there was no need for a powerful person like Chu Yunfan to be in charge.
“To be able to become a high-ranking official of the Federation upon graduation, Chu Yunfan truly is mighty!”
“What exactly is the Special Operations Department for?”
“It sounds really cool!”
The news of Chu Yunfan becoming the head of Special Ops spread throughout the Federation.
