December 3, Central Europe.

Crystal County has been known as the "Roof of Europe" since ancient times.

This place is connected to Black Eagle County in the north, Oak County in the west, Guan County in the south, and Xiong Eagle County in the east. The entire area is dominated by plateaus and mountains, with a comfortable climate, abundant resources, high terrain, and distinct boundaries.

There is no doubt that this is a good place to take root, so in this era, it has naturally become the center of power of the federal government.

20% of the residents living in this county are federally related people, most of whom are concentrated in Bern, enjoying the best living environment, business services and policing on the planet, and are protected by the strongest military forces.

Of course, they also (using taxpayers’ money) bear prices and housing prices that are in line with the moon.

Although many people don’t like this, they can’t help it because the “class” of those people is there.

In this world ruled by the Federation, "class" is a very important thing.

Although the official has never said that people should be divided into different levels and always promotes the tone of being born equal, everyone knows... this is fart.

People are born unequal, and no matter how fair the system is, they cannot change this.

Even if humans discover some kind of super resources one day that allows every individual to get material satisfaction without working at all, on this basis, a relatively fair and just system that can maintain harmonious coexistence between people to the greatest extent... people are also unequal.

Unless the individual differences of the human species are completely eliminated, there will definitely be some advantages and disadvantages when any two people are compared together.

So, from a certain perspective, there is no right or wrong in "categorizing" people, because this is inevitable.

This behavior is everywhere and happens to each of us.

In childhood, we are passively divided into cute-looking children, ugly-looking children, smart children and dull children.

When it comes to students, children are actively divided into small groups due to their interests, but teachers in schools often classify them by grades; in more complex environments, family background will also have an impact on this, and as time goes by, age... the relationship between children with huge differences in family background will eventually be gradually stripped away.

After entering society, "classification" becomes more and more complex and even dangerous; colleagues in the same unit will divide their factions based on various methods such as birthplace, colleges, positions, bad habits, etc.

In many cases, driven by "interests" and changes in situations will also change the "class" and "positions", making people reclassify themselves and take sides.

The so-called "equality" and "neutrality" are nothing more than the hypocrisy of the superiors and the desire of the weak.

Everything that the society we have built teaches us, our learning, our efforts, our efforts, our struggles... is ultimately about making ourselves "unequal" with others.

Because this kind of "inequality" is the real "fairness".

However, the "class" system under the federal rule is another kind of "inequality", a kind of "unfair" "inequality".

This system allows many stupid, greedy, mediocre people who lack awareness and vision to possess too much resources, allowing many sinister, shallow, shameless and selfish rats to unscrupulously overturn the interests of those good people.

Today, a group of vested interests who are above this system and in the highest position gathered here... gathered in the "Christo City" in the new Bern city on the east bank of the Al River.

In this small "half city", in addition to the federal "cabinet", there are also administrative headquarters of five directly under the jurisdiction of special departments: FCPs (Federal Public Safety Commission), EAS (Superviso), EF (evolution_fatory, Evolution_fatory, and Put-oid (Parallel Universe Crossing Observation and Intervention Bureau).

Of course, today's incident has nothing to do with these five departments.

These bigwigs rushed to the federal cabinet office building from all over the world because of a "shocking case" that happened a week ago.

The process of this case is not complicated. It is just that an organization of unknown origin played a mysterious gambling game on a cruise ship in Sakurano Mansion and invited a large group of "second-generation" from the federal executives to participate. As a result, the ship and the people of the ship disappeared collectively on the night of the game.

That night, there were several "frigates" that followed the cruise ship throughout the whole journey, basically all of which were private armed forces invited by the "guests" on the ship, most of which were mercenaries; after all... it was not appropriate to ask warships to come and escort them on occasions like this.

However, someone used their family connections and found a team of military personnel to disguise themselves as mercenaries, took federal weapons and equipment, and drove a ship provided by a third party.

It was also the military recorder on this ship that provided valuable evidence for the agents who came to investigate later.

Unlike ordinary civilian equipment, this kind of recorder can withstand external pressure even if it sinks to the deep sea without damage, and the signals it sends will only be searched by the military's dedicated receiver; within 72 hours after the power is disconnected, the recorder will continuously send high-intensity and clear positioning signals. After 72 hours, the built-in battery begins to weaken, and the device will automatically turn to a dormant state, with the priority of saving internal information.

Although the images taken in this recorder are very valuable, the actual investigation progress has not been much accelerated.

On the morning of the incident, the navy of Sakurano Mansion received a signal from the recorder. They immediately sent people to salvage it, and took a long time to fish the instrument up.

But after the things came out of water, since the people in charge were unwilling to peel the hot potato, who would "receive", "check" and "investigate" the rights and responsibilities of these matters were not clear for nearly forty-eight hours.

Don't think that this time is long. In a group where bureaucratic behavior is difficult to return and becomes more popular, it is normal to delay such a thing for ten and a half months. Unless someone above is willing to take care of the matter actively, otherwise... Not to mention such a major case that is likely to cause trouble, even if you plan to apply for a mouse in the office, it will take you three or four days... Don't blame the purchaser. When someone receives your application, he will have to get a bunch of documents and collect the signatures of seven leaders to get things done.

In this way... a very urgent matter was kicked by a group of local bureaucrats in Sakurano Palace for two days. Finally, they finally clarified the relationship, found a middle-level commander from the civilian class, and led a group of local ordinary soldiers to investigate as the "temporary person in charge".

The commander was also very clear about his situation. The case... After investigation, the main credit will be given to the leader. At most, he will drink soup when he eats meat. If the investigation fails, he will be a temporary worker who takes the blame. The specific posture he takes depends on the severity of the incident.

Unfortunately... even if he thought it very clearly, he had no choice but to go.

On the third day after the recorder came out of the water, the investigation team finally saw the recorded images, basically... this is a sea version of "The Collover Archives"; in this video, you can see ships flying around in the sky, seeing living people tear into pieces by their minds in the air, and you can even enjoy a scene of the sea under the night vision camera after swaying and screaming in a row.

The commander in charge of the operation had a sudden idea after watching for a while, "It seems that the suspect has strong magic power, let's notify ease!"

After a while, it took another delay in half a day.

To put it short, anyway, this case missed the best time to investigate from the beginning. Whether it is EAS or FCP, no one can find out if anyone will take over it.

After a week of circles, it was almost time to "even if there is no video, it should be discovered that there are people missing." The parents of the missing people finally gathered in Bern and held this "emergency meeting".

At the meeting, the emotional participants criticized everyone who could attack or wanted to attack.

"You are in charge of public order, that's your problem!"

"You are in charge of shipping. How dare you say you don't know where the ship went?"

"You are in charge of gambling. Do you dare say you didn't hear any rumors?"

...It's all nonsense.

Everyone here is in charge of things and manages things. Each of them has strong connections, financial resources and other resources; but... they really don't know about this matter. If they know, how could they let their relatives take risks?

In fact, more than half of them didn't even know that their missing children went to Sakurano Mansion. Everyone was busy. Who had time to care about where their little ancestors went to spend their lives every day?

Therefore, the "spokes" at these meetings are either simply venting the anger and anxiety of children's disappearance, or they are relatively calm in using the disappearance of their relatives as bargaining chips to achieve their own political goals.

In short, this meeting, which was full of high society, had no order or efficiency, and its degree of chaos was probably between the aristocratic parliament in ancient Greece and the British House of Lords during World War II.

Even Shinichiro Arai, one of the ten assistants in the cabinet who presided over the meeting, could not control the situation. When he found that rational speeches and guidance were meaningless, he was exhausted and simply took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose, pretended to rub Jingming's acupoint, lowered his head... and began to close his eyes and rest.

According to his estimate, this "conference", or the disaster, will undoubtedly be long; considering that smoking can be done in the conference room and drinking water is provided, these guys can at least make a noise to the next meal.

Fortunately... something happened after the quarrel took more than an hour.

Who would have thought that at this moment, an uninvited guest broke into this place where security efforts have been theoretically and in fact, both "not even a fly can fly in".
