Originally, both departments were highly valued, but the operations department failed to live up to their expectations: they could not carry out a serious operation, and they often embarrassed one truck after another (literally), so they themselves were embarrassed later on.
I have to ask for funds.
Every time the operational personnel dispatched to the Western Continent were basically arrested as soon as they got off the ship. After finally gathering a few people, they lost contact before they could take action. Under such circumstances, no fool would go there again.
Money is invested in it, right?
As a result, the operations department basically stopped carrying out activities related to the Tang Empire. If they didn't have the results of activities in other countries, this department might have been abolished long ago.
Even if such an organization asked them to assassinate Tang Mo, they themselves might not believe it. So his sour words made many people feel bitter.
There is no money and little funds for activities. How can such a department plan to assassinate the Emperor of Tang Dynasty? Stop making trouble. They don't go on strike, don't make trouble, and don't surrender to the enemy... It's already good.
In front of the intelligence machine of the Datang Empire, these minions really have no room to perform. Even this time, Tang Mo's intelligence department arrested someone for the assassination of Tang Mo. Only these people knew about such a thing.
…
Yang Mu I himself also knew what kind of virtue his country's intelligence department was. It was not easy for these people to get some peripheral intelligence on weekdays. How could he have the ability to plan a high-risk operation to assassinate the Emperor of Tang?
If this group of people had this idea, then the intelligence system of the damn Yangmu Empire would have been "strengthened" a long time ago. Not to mention fighting with the Internal Affairs Department of the Tang Empire and the Yinhu who was in charge of the outside world, at least it would have
Should we compare it with the intelligence agencies of several neighboring countries?
But the fact is that the intelligence department of the Yangmu Empire has always been very weak. Because of their race, most of their spies who want to infiltrate human countries can only rely on bribery. Not only is the efficiency low and the progress slow, but their loyalty and reliability are also very low.
question.
Therefore, those bribed humans took money to obtain some deceptive documents or inside information, or sent a few people to the Tang Empire to be imprisoned. This was almost the daily work of the elf intelligence department. Let those humans assassinate the emperor of a country.
, and the emperor of the most powerful empire... isn't this a joke?
In the end, Yang Mu I also felt that he had "proven his innocence". He indeed did not order to cause trouble to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, so he was naturally innocent.
The behavior of the subordinates was also normal, and there was no possibility of anyone causing trouble for themselves, so this matter must have been done by another country.
As for which country it is... it's hard to say. It seems impolite to blame the dwarves, because there is no substantial evidence from the elves. It would be easy to blame the dwarves who had been destroyed by the Tang Empire.
The Tang Empire was misunderstood and tricked, so Yang Mu I thought it would be better to choose a more reliable target to dump the blame.
After much thought, it was best not to specify a specific country directly. It might be safer to be more general: Finally, he gave his own judgment: "It's definitely not me. As for who it is, I suspect it is those human empires.
Only they have the ability to organize such a shameless action."
What he didn't know was that the Susas Empire and the Lions Empire both had a tacit understanding and set the target of suspicion on the Elf Yangmu Empire after facing questioning from the Tang Empire. The reasons given by the other party were also
It's very simple. After all, the elves are a foreign race, and they have more reason to target a human emperor.
Yang Mu I also didn't expect that allies could play such a ruthless game. He really didn't mean to trick anyone, he was just trying to pass the blame.
The Tang Empire didn't mean to embarrass anyone too much. After all, the entire matter had been pinned on Sophia's head internally.
Through this round of communication, Yangmu I agreed to pay a ransom of 50 million gold coins to the Tang Empire through a third party in exchange for the Tang Empire's promise not to launch any missile attacks on the elf capital Ruoslana within two months.
This amount is settled in five installments, and one payment must be made every 12 days, otherwise this secret agreement will become invalid.
Yang Mu I swallowed his nerve and accepted this condition. After all, this was his best choice now. The Tang Empire was willing to give him this choice, which actually showed that it took great care of the elves.
What he didn't know was that the Tang Empire had no plans to go south to attack the Yangmu Empire within two months, so the missile attack on the city in the past two months was completely a harassment attack to cause trouble for him, extorting 50 million
The gold coins were a complete surprise.
Of course, if the elves want to renew the contract after the secret agreement expires, it is probably possible. But in a few months, they will still have to buy insurance to protect their city from being bombed by bombers, or continue to buy it.
As for the insurance against being bombarded, they can only ask themselves.
When that time comes, I guess the elves are probably not in the mood to spend money on such a face-saving project.
In the first week of March, the Tang Empire released 150,000 dwarf soldiers who had performed the best and committed the least serious crimes. These soldiers could choose to go home and find jobs near their hometowns.
If you can't find a job, you can submit an application to the local government of the Tang Empire and let local officials arrange jobs within their capabilities. The Tang Empire fulfilled its promise and won the hearts of the dwarf prisoners of war.
With these people as role models, the mood of the dwarf prisoners of war was high for a while, and the atmosphere in the prisoner of war camp was even better. The dwarves who were already working hard now worked even harder.
As the weather gets warmer, they build roads and railways faster, and build houses faster. Some war-torn towns have been rebuilt, and are even directly connected to the power grid and have their own cars.
stand.
There is no harm without comparison. After the locals adapted to the conveniences of the Tang Empire, they naturally lost any resistance. Coupled with the good reputation left by the civil affairs officials in the local area, the rule of the Tang State has become more and more stable in the dwarf region.
stand up.
The chaos left before the coalition forces retreated has disappeared, and the negative effects caused by the dwarf army's looting are gradually disappearing. The people are calm, and everything is slowly returning to normal.
Everyone was waiting to see Tang Jun's joke, but now the joke is gone. The newly annexed land that Tang Jun left behind does not seem to be an obstacle to them, but has become their new help.
