Chapter 1374: Chapter 446: Three Battlefields_3

She sat down with a sullen expression.

"... Let me just say this first, I’m not going to deal with those damn upper-class people. If anyone dares to provoke me, I’ll definitely take them down."

Even if it’s just for show, considering the favors Lin Miao has done for Adcardo, Pan’an couldn’t refuse Lin Miao.

The most important thing is that Pan’an feels responsible to keep an eye on Lin Miao for Lucy and the others, to prevent this guy from being led astray by those damned bastards.

"As long as you don’t kill anyone, everything else is on me."

Lin Miao’s data body completely disappeared, merging with his physical body.

To others, it appeared as if Lin Miao convinced an Adcardo man to serve New America with his plain, patriotic speech.

Though it’s weird, illogical, even a fool knows there’s a problem, but on the surface, no one can fault it.

"So."

Pan’an slumped back into the chair, her dusty Martin boots lifted onto Lin Miao’s table.

"You brought all these people here, what are you planning to do? It can’t be that you want me to storm the White House, right?"

This time, over a hundred people accompanied her.

Sol’s small tribe returned to Adcardo headquarters with a wealth of technology and absorbed many smaller tribes, their strength is no longer the same as before.

"That’s something Canadians would do, I’m a law-abiding citizen."

Lin Miao waved his hand, quickly denying.

"In three days, my Efficiency Department needs to get moving. The first city to go to is Detroit, where 29 state-owned recycling factories stopped due to worker unrest. I want your people to be the first to enter the city and gather intel. I’ll sort out the identities for you, and you can help me with a small favor..."

Detroit

In another world, it went bankrupt early due to de-industrialization, becoming a typical representative of Rust Belt cities in Michigan’s Great Lakes Region.

But in 2077, it’s still one of the major industrial cities New America has, with considerable industrial foundation and a large worker population, and, naturally, a huge number of companies.

After all, New America doesn’t have the financial prowess or international standing to play the de-industrialization game.

However, the same old problems persist, various environmental factors lead to New America showing no substantial changes compared to the old United States, states are even more independent than before, in a state of high autonomy.

And their every move and word were relayed back to the White House without a hitch, reaching Miles’ hands.

"Adcardo..."

This sudden appearance of the Wandering Tribe came as a surprise to Miles.

After all, they’re one of the seven major tribal clans in North America. At their peak, they numbered over a million, with an armed force—the Wolf Tribe—that’s no weaker than the elite special teams of major corporations.

Though no longer at their peak, they’re still not to be ignored, retaining significant influence across North America.

"Interesting... breaking the deadlock by introducing new external forces."

In recent times, Miles had completely ignored the Efficiency Department, allowing departments and congressmen to stuff people into it, testing his intentions for bringing Lin Miao in, wanting to see how Lin Miao would handle this matter.

If Lin Miao couldn’t even handle this, Miles knew he misjudged the person, better to use him as bait to catch some fish before he meets his end, maximizing utility.

But unexpectedly, Lin Miao treated everyone in the department as air, starting anew on the spot.

Secretly calling on Adcardo’s people to resolve the matter.

For Miles, it’s a good thing though. If New America wants to regain strength and unity, the Wandering Tribe is a problem that must be addressed.

Lin Miao has started well, and with this connection, recruiting Adcardo in the future will be much easier.

"Alex!"

Lin Miao waved Alex, who had been guarding the door, inside. Now, Alex served as Lin Miao’s bodyguard and secretary.

He then took out a white paper from under the table and tossed it over.

"Arrange a team to head to Detroit first. Follow what’s written here, conduct a detailed investigation of the local economy, employment, politics, and industry distribution. I need to see it in two days."

"Two days?"

Alex had a look like, ’Are you kidding me?’

Takes two days to investigate an entire city? You’ll barely get any meaningful information, isn’t this a heads up to local forces that you’re coming?

"Yes."

Lin Miao put on his authoritative demeanor.

"Do you have any questions?"

"No, none, understood."

Alex smiled, giving a formulaic response, picking up the white paper and walking out of the office.

She really wanted to leave the Intelligence Bureau for an easier job, but she couldn’t since her achievements were insufficient for a transfer.

If she could have taken down Hansen, there might have been a chance.

Watching Alex leave, Lin Miao actually felt a bit regretful.

The players are good at many things; it’s just the intricate and dirty work they can’t accomplish, like with West Fire Grass, the Intelligence Bureau is unbelievably tempting to Lin Miao.

"If only there was someone...."

He thought to himself...

Then, in Pan’an’s slightly puzzled state, he said to her again:

"Pan’an, have your tribesmen also head to Detroit now, later I’ll hold a separate Super Dream meeting to tell you what to do. I’ll provide activity funds separately."

The department people are purely bait to attract local forces’ attention. For actual tasks, he has to turn to Adcardo’s people.

Finally, Lin Miao got in touch with Song Zhaomei, the two communicating face-to-face through their data bodies.

"Song Zhaomei, have you heard of a guy named Solomon Lid?"

"Uh..."

Song Zhaomei’s face showed slight discomfort.

"He... I... have heard of him."

"Good, as long as you’ve heard of him."

Lin Miao continued.

"Where’s he now, is he in the Intelligence Bureau?"

The Intelligence Bureau agent certificate of the counterpart was submitted by Lin Miao, but since then Lid disappeared without a trace, although subsequent incidents showed silhouettes suspected to be helping.

If he could get his help this time, success would be doubled.

Lin Miao had several suspects in mind, but needed confirmation from Song Zhaomei.

"He’s... not here."

"Not here?"

"Yes... he disappeared ever since appearing in Dog Town, even Miles can’t contact him."

"...."

This was good news for Lin Miao, the counterpart apparently doesn’t want to serve Miles anymore, the position is clear.

"Are you familiar with him?"

"Quite... familiar, we used to be in the same team."

Song Zhaomei gathered the courage to confess about how she followed Miles’ orders to betray Lid in the past.

"I see..."

Lin Miao watched Song Zhaomei’s guilty expression thoughtfully.

"I don’t think he’s the kind to hold grudges over such matters. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stood up to help against Hansen back then..."

"Regardless, go meet him, apologize, maybe have a meal. Whether he accepts or not, it’ll make you feel better."

"As to whether he’s willing to help... that’s up to him, don’t force it."
