Chapter 88 Meetings and Mechanisms

"Let's start the formal process of this meeting." Mycroft was too lazy to pay attention to his unreliable younger brother. He raised his hand and introduced the two gentlemen who came with him:
"This is His Excellency Sandel, Director of the Secrecy Bureau."

The old man in a black coat nodded slightly to everyone.

"This is the Honorable Assistant Chief Constable Sissoko in charge of the Scotland Yard Police Special Operations Squad,"

The gray-haired man in a senior police uniform also nodded to the crowd.

"We are here today for two purposes, the first is to establish a fast linkage and communication channel between the White Tower and Scotland Yard and Regent's Park"

"Wait, who is the White Tower?" Di Renjie asked suspiciously.

"Of course it refers to you." McCoff said naturally, he was even a little surprised by Di Renjie's reaction.

"So has the official name of our department been determined?" Di Renjie tried to remind McCoff of this matter.

"Not yet," Mycroft said again as a matter of course, "but it doesn't matter. For a department, it only needs to have a proxy name to carry out its work smoothly."

"Okay," Di Renjie said that he was trying to respect local customs
"We are currently considering establishing multiple direct telephone lines without transfer, but I personally think that this may not be enough. We must consider the situation of telephone line failure, so I plan to establish another set of backup lines based on extraordinary power. In view of this The set of lines is used when the telephone line is damaged, so this set of lines must be very fast, and it is obviously difficult for the Raven Tower to meet such requirements." Mycroft went straight to the point.

"Aloft flare," Lamb said with a belch.

"It can be used as a backup line, but if possible, I still hope that this line can convey more messages." Police Superintendent Sissoko expressed his objection. Every time Scotland Yard performs a mission, a large number of people and institutions will be involved. Therefore, there is the highest requirement for the ability of communication lines to transmit messages.

"You can seek help from the Golden Dawn Association. I have the impression that there are inventions with similar functions described in the association's journals." Robbie from the Blood Tower put forward his own opinion. He is also a member of the Golden Dawn Association.

"This is also my opinion," Mycroft nodded and said, "If there is no objection, let's contact Alfredo first according to this idea."

"I still believe in flares more, but you can work according to your own ideas." Lamb sneered, but didn't say anything more.

"Then let's discuss the second question," Mycroft ignored Lamb's sarcasm and continued to advance the process of the meeting:

"According to the cabinet's opinion, the White Tower needs to have the ability to monitor abnormal crimes throughout the city. Specifically, for small-scale and hidden crimes, we need to have the ability to detect them in time and prevent the problem from expanding; , large-scale crime, we need the ability to control the scene in time."

"The latter is relatively easy to solve. On the premise of maintaining communication with Scotland Yard, relying on the London Tower Hill subway station and the Thames River, we can routinely deploy power to any corner of the London metropolitan area within 30 minutes." Di Renjie He has thought about this issue for the past few days, and he even took note of all the above-ground and underground railway lines in London:

"But frankly speaking, the response time of 30 minutes is still a bit slow, so Director Lamb and I think it is necessary to set up four branches in the urban area, and each branch only retains emergency combatants, that is, four second-order extraordinary and eight first-order transcendents."

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard the words, and Mycroft asked further: "Do you have a plan for choosing a site?"

"Yes," Di Renjie pulled out a map, on which the traffic routes of the city of London were drawn, in which the Tower of London, Scotland Yard and Regent's Park were specially marked with red pens:
"Considering that Scotland Yard, the Secret Service and the White Tower have certain control over the surrounding area, I tend to choose those four branch sites with weak defenses."

As Di Renjie said, he took out a pen and drew four small circles on the map in front of everyone:

"King's Cross, Farrington, Canary Wharf in the East End and Waterloo on the South Bank."

"This can indeed cover the core urban area. Based on this arrangement, once an extraordinary person commits a crime in the core urban area, the response team of the security department can arrive within 10 minutes." Sandel, the director of the Security Bureau, analyzed, but he followed closely He added:

"But in this case, the fringe city is still out of our sight."

"This is inevitable. If possible, it would be safer to equip every London citizen with a police officer," Lamb sneered. "Safety has its limits."

"What you said also makes sense," Sandor nodded in agreement, although his face was a little ugly at this time.

"We have also considered this problem, so we plan to divide up four teams for patrolling the fringe urban areas. Each team has three second-tier and three first-tier configurations." Di Renjie drew a few more lines on the map:
"However, this kind of inspection is more of a deterrent effect, and the actual tactical value is relatively small."

"But it's still very valuable." Mycroft admired Di Renjie's plan very much. "In addition, we also need to consider the possibility that the squad will become the target of criminals due to dispersion. Every patrol squad must be escorted by the Raven Tower when performing tasks." , so as to reduce surprises.”

"I will discuss this with Ms. Sesta." Di Renjie nodded.

"Then we still need to solve the problem of small-scale and hidden crimes," Mycroft looked at the crowd in a deep voice: "This is a more difficult problem right now."

Both Sandor and Sissoko showed embarrassment. Obviously, they didn't have any particularly good solution to this problem for the time being.

"We have an idea," Di Renjie skillfully pulled out another piece of paper from the folder: "But this time we actually hope to get the cooperation of the Political Communications Bureau."

"What do you mean?" Mycroft showed interest on his face.

"Carry out daily information contact with cemeteries, private clinics and large hospitals to ensure that there are no abnormal diseases and deaths, so as to reduce the possibility of hidden crimes by supernatural beings on the path to the bottomless abyss; to pharmacies, grocery stores and department stores Statistics of special materials sold in the company; dispatch staff to water and gas companies to monitor abnormal water and gas consumption; conduct targeted and simple teaching to some newsboys in London to let them pay attention to various news for the department.” Di Renjie explained in detail:
"In addition, these affairs do not require the intervention of extraordinary people. We only need some ordinary people who are smarter, and they can do it well."

After Di Renjie finished speaking, Sandor and Sissoko showed suspicious expressions on their faces. It could be seen that they did not agree with Di Renjie's statement.

However, Mycroft's eyes lit up when he heard it:
"That's a really, really interesting idea."
