Chapter 427

Uesugi Muneyuki had been closely monitoring the situation on the front lines, and when the public security police and SAT units on the front lines transmitted excited roars informing the Metropolitan Police Department that they had apprehended the perpetrators and seized all evidence, successfully arresting many senior executives of Daiwa Armor and Yamamoto Shachou himself, and rescuing the Kashiwagi couple, Uesugi Muneyuki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Failure is rebellion, success is revolution!

The great Emperor Taizong Wen, the Heavenly Khagan, the Qin Wang, the Grand Marshal, the Minister of Education, the Grand Secretary, the Minister of Personnel, the Shāndōng Circuit Executive Platform, the Governor of Yongzhou,

the Governor of Liangzhou, the Pillar of the State, the Twelve Guards Grand General, the Heavenly Strategy Supreme General Li Shimin spoke the truth.

However, this incident also served as a warning bell for Uesugi Muneyuki.

That is, such stratagems are ultimately "technique" rather than the upright path, and not only should they not be constantly used, but they also contain many risks.

For example, in this stratagem, although Uesugi Muneyuki had considered many factors and made multiple deployments, he still exposed the Kashiwagi couple to considerable risk, even including a portion of mortal danger, even though Uesugi Muneyuki had arranged for the Grudge to accompany them, but some things he could not foresee, such as Kashiwagi Jin being captured, or Daiwa Armor actually proposing that Kashiwagi Misa shoot Kashiwagi Jin.

This is the downside of manipulating schemes.

Many people's concept of scheming is like in "Nirvana in Fire," where the protagonist devises a plan, subtly guides A, A thinks it over and seeks B's help, B decides to influence C, C, excited, goes to find D, D, in anger, does E, and thus the protagonist sits comfortably on the fishing terrace, laughing at the clouds and wind, watching a group of people tear each other apart, solving the problem without lifting a finger, and no one suspects it was him.

Or like in "House of Cards," where President Underwood constantly digs a bunch of big pits unbeknownst to the outside world, and other characters only need to jump into them, one by one, like the gourd brothers saving their grandfather.

Of course, Uesugi does not mean to disparage the above two dramas; both are excellent works, thrilling and exciting.

But they are not realistic.

In "Nirvana in Fire," such operations, once indirectly involving more than two people in reality, have a success rate not exceeding 5%.

True and genuine political maneuvering is rather like in "The Ming Dynasty 1566," although my power as the Lingxiao Shangqing Tonglei Yuan Yang Miao Yi Fei Yuan Zhenjun Nine Heavens Hongjiao Pujishengling Zhang Yin Yang Guo Guodaosi Ren Zixian Xianweng Yi Yang Zhenren Yuan Xu Xuan Ying Kaihua Fumo Zhongxiao Dijun Tai Shang Luo Tian Prefecture Ziji Changsheng Shengzhi Zhaoling Tong San Zheng Ying Yuxu Chief Prosecutor Wulei Da Zhenren Xuandu Boundless Wanshou Emperor is limitless, the Jiajing Emperor is also the absolute intellectual ceiling in this drama, but he cannot control everything.

Orders dispatched, some people cannot fully comprehend the meaning, some harbor selfish intentions and do not want to implement them, only wanting to greedily grab money, some have higher aspirations, some have limited abilities and cannot achieve perfection, and some have already secretly switched camps to offer loyalty to the Crown Prince, deliberately wanting to sabotage things; in this complex situation, adding unforeseen variables during execution, the final result differs greatly from what the emperor himself desired.

"Having trained my form to resemble a crane's, I fear not the palace maids' strangulation; I come to ask the Wordless One, has my son also communicated with the Japanese?"

In the future, such matters should still be done as little as possible; if they must be done, it is better to operate personally, the simpler and more direct the better.

Seek long to know, know much to thirst for thought, only the sage's marvelous deceit, do not let yourself be trapped!

Praise the marvelous deceit!

Fortunately, Kashiwagi Jin is a very simple person.

At this moment, he himself was still temporarily and thoroughly numbed by the liquor named "Vanity" in his heart.

He indulged in this gilded lie, sweet as honey, the ambulance sent him to the hospital, leaving behind a bustling scene, and a "hero" who temporarily forgot all anxieties in vain fame.

"Then, foster father, the rest is left to you." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded and said: "No matter what, Kashiwagi Jin and Kashiwagi Misa have both paid a great deal for this matter; we still want to protect them."

Watanabe Eiji, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows, the Superintendent General said meaningfully: "It seems you really like them?"

Eiji, how shrewd a person he is, given his relationship with Uesugi Muneyuki, saying it once would suffice, but Uesugi Muneyuki repeatedly mentioned it,

which shows this is not a suggestion, but rather a negotiation.

"Kashiwagi Jin is a very usable person, isn't he?" Uesugi Muneyuki softly said: "Push him up, make him a national hero, and instead it becomes a protection for him."

"Factos! (Indeed)" Watanabe Eiji pondered briefly, then said meaningfully: "You want him to become Kaido?"

Kaido, a character from the manga "One Piece," a Marine Admiral, this guy's son is a revolutionary army leader, his grandson is a great pirate, the whole family are rebels, but just because he is a Marine hero and once fought several epic battles with the former Pirate King Roger, he became a symbolic banner figure, no one dares to move him, at most just not letting him be promoted to Admiral and transferring him to be an instructor away from frontline units.

"Then how about letting him become the Equipment Section Chief?" Watanabe Eiji casually said: "Promote him to Superintendent."

"Ah?!" Uesugi Muneyuki thought, foster father wants to transfer Kashiwagi Jin to desk duty? How could that be possible?

"Then how about the Daichang Agency Director? Coincidentally, the Kanazawa Agency Director of Daichang Agency is due to retire, so let Kashiwagi take over as the Daihuai Agency Director, also a Superintendent rank." Watanabe Eiji casually said: "Consider it a proper promotion."

"This, this is impossible? Although the rank is promoted, transferring from headquarters to a local agency is essentially a demotion in disguise, and how could Kashiwagi possibly agree to leave the First Investigation Division?" Uesugi Muneyuki chuckled slightly.

"Then there's nothing we can do; we gave him several promotion opportunities, and he himself chose to refuse promotion, so if he continues to be a Sergeant Section Chief in the Third Division, he has no one to blame but himself." Watanabe Eiji said lightly: "It's not that we didn't give him opportunities."

———" Uesugi Muneyuki then realized, he fell silent for a long time: "Foster father, you are truly wicked!"

Watanabe Eiji then said meaningfully: "In the end, Kashiwagi Jin is not one of us, the promotion rules of the Special Mission Unit are not worth it,

nor should they be placed on him; such a person, if close, breeds resentment, if distant, lacks humility; keep distance, and when necessary, release him to bite people—just right."

"As for Kashiwagi Misa, she has achieved merit in this matter; transfer her to the Personnel Division of the Police Affairs Department to continue serving as the Clerical Section Chief, let her gain a few years of seniority for a promotion to Sergeant, the headquarters also considers it fair to her."

Having said that, Watanabe Eiji also waved his hand, indicating you may go; afterward, there will be work to do.

Uesugi Muneyuki closed the door and went out, leaving the Superintendent General sitting in the luxurious office chair, he took out a thick stack of personnel files,

and began planning how to adjust positions.

With this commotion, at least hundreds of people in the headquarters will have to pursue criminal responsibility, possibly two or three hundred will be forced to resign voluntarily, freeing up hundreds of positions, just in time to take the opportunity to comprehensively adjust personnel in the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, these matters do not require Uesugi Muneyuki to know or interfere with; this adopted son of his is also not skilled in this area.

When Uesugi Muneyuki came out of the Superintendent General's office, the interior of the Metropolitan Police Department had already descended into chaos!

Only to see public security police and SAT units directly storming into the headquarters, and according to the list, beginning mass arrests within Sakuradamon!

"New list!" the Security Department Chief of the Police Bureau, Shinzou Kamiya, roared into the walkie-talkie.

"New list!" the Counselor of the Public Security Division of the Police Bureau, Kobe Takeru, calmly issued the order.

"New list!" the Management Officer of the Public Security Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ichijo Keishi, personally directed and personally deployed.

"New list!" the SAT Unit Commander, Godai Yusuke, grabbed the Equipment Section Chief of the General Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ijuuin Section Chief, and pressed him onto the table: "Sorry, you're on the list, Ijuuin Section Chief!"

And such a scene was unfolding in all four corners of Sakuradamon!

The entire Metropolitan Police Department fell into a state of chaos, everyone felt they might become the next one.

And what feels eerie is that the entire upper echelon of the Metropolitan Police Department remained very calm, even the security police and public security police stationed at Sakuradamon actively cooperated.

When Uesugi Muneyuki returned to the Special Mission Unit, aside from Minami Ojou-sama calmly sitting on the fishing terrace laughing at the wind and clouds, every face in the Special Mission Unit bore the words "not anxious desu," upon seeing Uesugi Muneyuki appear, Eirina was the first to rush over: "Uesugi, what on earth is happening? The management officer didn't even tell us."

"Don't panic, everything is under our control." Uesugi Muneyuki patted Eirina's shoulder.

"I always feel the forensic examiner and management officer are hiding things from us on many matters." Kai Toru leaned back in his chair, playing with his phone on the temple escape,

and complained: "Well, it's not hard to understand; we are ultimately newcomers, low in status, not qualified to know."

"Kai, didn't your father call you?" Uesugi Muneyuki looked at Kai Toru with interest.

"No, why would that person call me?" Kai Toru really dislikes mentioning his father.

"Then he should probably call you soon." Uesugi Muneyuki said meaningfully: "First, son promoted to Sergeant,

regardless, as a father, he should also show something, right?"

"Huh? What... ah!" Kai Toru froze for a moment, then immediately jumped up, his eyes glowing: "Really? Uesugi-san, you wouldn't be lying to me, would you?"

"Why would I lie to you? In this system, Ikeda Erena, promoted to Assistant Police Inspector, Igarashi Hayato, promoted to Police Sergeant, Kai Toru, promoted to Assistant Police Inspector, and Date Wa Minami, due to recently joining the bureau or being promoted half a year ago, will receive other rewards." Uesugi Muneyuki said with a smile.

"However, don't get too excited just yet, even if it's a regular promotion, you must pass the Assistant Police Inspector Promotion Exam to qualify." Minami Ojou-sama leaned back tactically, giggling: "So who exactly is bad at exams? It's so hard to guess!"

"Ugh!" Erena's face instantly fell; the tall beauty felt like she was on a drop tower ride, suddenly soaring up then plummeting down.

This inhumane promotion exam—why does it exist in our police organization?

Our police duty is to eliminate violence and uphold righteousness—why must we take exams, ah ah ah?

Uesugi Muneyuki looked at 0r2 kneeling beside Erena, and exchanged a glance with Minami Ojou-sama.

What else did Father say? Minami Ojou-sama's gaze carried inquiry; in this bulletproof vest incident, the Metropolitan Police Department is in panic, meaning Minami Ojou-sama, who knows the inside story, has settled down.

Your promotion has no chance, Okada is blocked by you and also has no chance, Uesugi Muneyuki found it somewhat amusing, thinking Minami only became Superintendent half a year ago, yet this position she should have endured at least two years (normally it takes 3–5 years) before being considered for promotion.

As for me, I should also be promoted.

But I myself am not a full-time employee of the Metropolitan Police Department, so I don't know how they plan to arrange my promotion.

Thinking of this, I still have a little anticipation, though Uesugi Muneyuki is even more anticipating the reaction from the bulletproof vest incident coming to light.

Anticipation, anticipation
