Chapter 306: Catch them all in one swoop! Complete the mission! Kill the main culprit!

When Anya explained the whole story, all the interrogators, including Duncan, were stunned.

Because the assassin of this sisterhood is not an ordinary member, but a serious Bene Gesserit high-level!

You know, not every sisterhood member can be called a Bene Gesserit, after all, this thing is the same as the organization's establishment.

Only those with an establishment can enjoy the various welfare benefits of the organization. Those in the outsourcing department can leave. These people will only be used when they are working and taking the blame.

And a serious Bene Gesserit will receive the top educational resources within the sisterhood, from spices to skill training, which requires a lot of materials, time and energy.

Finally, after various trainings, Bene Gesserit will master many professional knowledge such as sound control, lie detection, combat assassination, political awareness, and psychology.

In short, every Bene Gesserit is an outstanding female talent. She can write and play politics, and she can also use essential oils to open her back and act as a juicer, and of course, assassination.

It is precisely because of the rarity and professional ability of these Bene Gesserit that they are recognized by everyone.

So even if they do not get the title of nobility, as long as they reveal their identity, they can be treated as guests of honor in any family in the Galactic Empire.

But now, a senior Bene Gesserit staff member is lurking in the Atreides family and trying to assassinate the Duke, which means that the Sisterhood has completely torn its face with the Atreides family.

The war is officially declared!

The Sisterhood, like the Space Guild, has a very high status and is neutral in most cases.

In normal times, they will not easily stand completely on any side, but now, the Sisterhood, which has always been a fence-sitter in politics, has firmly bet on the Corino Royal Family.

That means that the Sisterhood will fight to the death with the Atreides Family, and there will be no negotiation from now on!

Therefore, when Duncan learned the news, he could not judge whether the information was true at the first time, so he decided to test it.

As for the verification method, it was also very simple, that is, to order the guards to search for other Sisterhood assassins according to the list while continuing to torture Anya.

At this moment, the scene in the underground prison became even more miserable. Anya, who was unable to die, fainted twice in succession before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Through the intelligence provided by Anya, the Atreides Family's guards successfully destroyed several Sisterhood bases left on Arrakis and arrested more than a dozen Bene Gesserit high-level officials.

After repeatedly verifying the authenticity of the intelligence, the cautious Duncan reported the final situation to Duke Leto and Song Zhaomei.

Soon, the news that the Sisterhood personally stood on the side of the Corino Royal Family and fought the Atreides Family to the end spread to the top executives of Atreides and the internal structure of the Universal Corporation.

The Sisterhood’s side issue and the fact that Song Zhaomei was almost assassinated were also highly valued in all departments of the Universal Corporation.

Song Zhaomei, who was fully responsible for the 005 "Dune" universe integration mission, immediately put pressure on Duke Leto and asked them to actively cooperate with the integration work of the Universal Corporation.

And Leto naturally did not dare to neglect it, and immediately stated that from today on, Song Zhaomei was the "real father" of the Atreides Family, and whatever she said was what it was, and the Atreides would definitely cooperate!

After knocking the Atreides Family, Song Zhaomei quickly returned to the flagship of the Mantle and invited the military high-level officials and department heads of various departments to hold a meeting to discuss the next countermeasures.

Before convening the subordinates of various departments to hold this meeting, Song Zhaomei still followed the previous practice and asked the boss Li Ang to find out the attitude towards the Sisterhood, so as to facilitate the subsequent decision-making arrangements.

Leon only replied with four words, and defined the Sisterhood, that is, "catch them all in one fell swoop"!

At this moment, in the command center of the Mantle, in the meeting room.

Looking at the news from the Intelligence Department, Jack Wells snorted angrily, and a hint of coldness flashed across his gloomy eyes: "Those Bene Gesserit are so bold that they dare to touch our people!"

Jack, who had just finished the battle of the Unified Star Alliance in the 004 "Halo" universe, had just come to the "Dune" universe to change his post not long ago, and encountered such a thing.

The candidate for the interstellar governor of the dignified Universal Corporation was almost assassinated by the assassins of the Sisterhood.

If Song Zhaomei had not been equipped with the latest Qilusi artificial eye device and had seen through the opponent's position in advance, she might have died by now!

Originally, the attitude of the Universal Corporation towards the Sisterhood was to incorporate it into the Strategic Talent Department, and to take measures of appeasement and recruitment as much as possible to cause less unnecessary casualties.

But given the current situation, it is impossible to avoid casualties among the sisterhood.

As Jack finished speaking, the pro-war officers on the side also echoed: "The sisterhood bitches dared to kill our executives, so we will fight back!"

Hearing that his colleagues around him wanted to start a war to vent their anger, only the calm Captain Andrew did not rush to speak out to express his attitude.

At this moment, Song Zhaomei, who had just finished the communication conversation with Li Ang, returned to the meeting room and formally discussed the next handling measures with the senior staff.

In fact, Song Zhaomei's attitude towards the sisterhood is still the same as before, focusing on recruiting as much as possible. She does not want to cause too serious casualties to the other party.

After all, today's global giants already control multiple parallel universes, and there is no shortage of materials and resources.

Coupled with the wise leader Li Ang, who led them to quickly integrate the various heavens and universes in an efficient way, this allowed the giant companies in the world to basically not be burdened by the long battle.

The remaining resources and energy allow the world's giants to spend most of their time building human bases in various universes and creating prosperous civilized trade circles.

In this context, what giant companies around the world really need are often highly sophisticated talents with unique skills in various fields.

It just so happens that the people in the sisterhood are this type of talent.

Just look at the skills they know. Lie detection and voice control are abilities that the intelligence agencies are extremely coveted.

With the addition of members of the sisterhood, the efficiency of the intelligence department of giant companies can increase by at least another 20%!

What's more, the special functions section is temporarily blank within the giant company. As the head of the talent strategy department, Song Zhaomei still attaches great importance to the value of the sisterhood.

Therefore, her idea was to arrest only the leading culprits, that is, the Virgin Mary Helen. As for the other senior members of the sisterhood, she should give them as light a sentence as possible and focus on reform and recruitment.

But doing so will also cause a problem.

After all, Song Zhaomei is the interstellar governor appointed by Li Ang. Her benevolent act at this moment may not necessarily move the enemy and convince other family forces.

Maybe, maybe the powerful families in the 005 "Dune" universe and other organized forces will think that Song Zhaomei is being bullied, and they may not be willing to do so in the future.

If Song Zhaomei cannot handle this matter properly, he will definitely encounter endless troubles after he takes office as governor.

So this matter is easy to handle on the surface. Whether it is decisive or tolerant, it will bring different consequences.

Killing too many will cause a shortage of talents in the sisterhood and completely miss the opportunity to develop special departments.

If you kill too little, you will leave yourself with political booby traps that may explode one day.

Therefore, the final result of Song Zhaomei's handling of the sisterhood will affect her future career as governor-general. How to find the right degree is her first consideration!

"Captain Jack, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Song Zhaomei first looked at Jack, the current leader of the Iron Hands Chapter, and asked what he meant.

As a leader in the giant corporate army, Jack Wells is second only to his former leader V, but unlike V, a leader who is relaxed and moderate, Jack's character is quite unrestrained and flamboyant.

It is precisely because of this temperament that the Astartes warriors in the Iron Hands Chapter are more brave and reckless in battle, and their morale is also relatively high.

Today's Jack Wells has extremely high prestige, so Song Zhaomei will give priority to asking Jack's attitude and opinions. After all, he represents most of the Astartes warriors.

Seeing this, Jack didn't say much nonsense. He stared at Song Zhaomei's face and responded in a serious voice:

"Director Song, this assassination operation led by the sisterhood has made their position clear. They are against the fundamental interests of giant companies!"

"Since the boss means to catch them all in one fell swoop, my opinion is to kill them until they are frightened, and eliminate this gang of witches from the inside out, so as not to leave any future troubles."

Not long after Jack Wells retreated from the battlefield of 004 ​​"Halo", the brutality of killing still remains in his body.

To deal with this kind of thing, if it were him, of course he would kill them all, leaving no one alive, what a bullshit sisterhood, giant companies don't need it!

After listening to Jack's answer, Song Zhaomei was silent for a moment. To her, the other party's reply was equivalent to giving up the sisterhood completely.

But in this case, the sisterhood's voice control and precognitive abilities will also disappear with their demise.

This situation is not acceptable to the world's giant companies, nor is it what boss Li Ang wants to see.

"Captain Andrew, what do you think about this?"

Song Zhaomei turned her head and looked at Andrew, the new captain serving on the Mantle and a senior member of the UNSC Bureau from 004 "Halo".

Now Andrew is in charge of the command of the Second Expeditionary Corps, and can nominally mobilize elite soldiers from various departments to participate in any combat mission.

So his authority is also not low.

Seeing that Song Zhaomei had posed this problem to him, Andrew thought about it for a moment, wondering how he should reply.

He knew that after Song Zhaomei asked Jack, she continued to ask for her own opinion. This was not to solicit opinions from multiple parties, in order to listen to both sides, but Song Zhaomei was not satisfied with Jack's answer!

Most of the time, leaders will not discuss decisions with their subordinates at all. Instead, they will set the tone at the top level in advance and ask the people below to come to their side as soon as possible.

This will make it easier for the people below to act according to the leader's opinions. Of course, the premise is that the leader's meaning must be conveyed implicitly and accurately.

After all, Andrew was an elite member of the top political ecosystem in the UNSC. How could he not understand what Song Zhaomei meant? He quickly reacted and gave an answer that was completely opposite to Jack's.

That is to only target the initiators and catch examples to serve as a warning to others.

"According to reliable information from the Intelligence Department, the person who carried out this assassination was a senior member of the Sisterhood, but their primary target was actually Duke Leto."

"The purpose of this group of Bene Gesserit is to cause internal chaos in the Atreides family, not to target our Universal Corporation."

Andrew mitigated a lot of the charges against the Sisterhood as soon as he opened his mouth, in order to pave the way for the next proposal and leave some foreshadowing.

"But this does not mean that we should tolerate the other party's misdeeds. We must fight back against this."

"So my suggestion is to unite various imperial families in the name of the victim Atreides family and launch a counterattack against the Sisterhood, so that we have a legitimate reason to do so, and encourage various families to report members of the Sisterhood."

Andrew's suggestion has two core purposes. The first point is obvious. The counterattack must be launched, but it must be in the name of the Atreides family.

After all, Duke Leto is the first victim. There is a reason for injustice and a debt. It is reasonable for the Universal Corporation to act as a judge.

By the way, we can also use this reason to let other families cooperate with the giant enterprise's arrest operation and let them hand over the list of senior members of the sisterhood.

If there is a family that does not hand it over or report, it will be kicked out immediately and buried with the Colino royal family.

In fact, most families know clearly where the senior members of the sisterhood are hiding. After all, these women will also serve them.

But if the world giant enterprise forces them to hand it over without a legitimate reason, most families will definitely not be willing to hand it over easily.

But now it is different. The world giant enterprise has a legitimate reason and they cannot refuse to hand it over. When the members of the sisterhood are gathered together, things will be easy.

It is clear who should be killed and who should be kept, and we can decide at that time.

As for the second purpose, it is to tell the sisterhood that the world giant enterprise knows that you accidentally stood on the wrong side, and now you are given a chance to choose again.

We only target "very few people" and will not do a big purge. If you want to choose the winner, please vote with your feet!

Andrew believed that with his two-pronged approach, the Sisterhood would be convinced.

As a typical case, the Virgin Helen was most likely the one to serve as a warning to others, and her fate was execution!

After listening to Andrew's proposal, the officers who were originally passionate and angry suddenly fell silent, and Song Zhaomei nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

Andrew's ideas were exactly the same as hers. This was the person Song Zhaomei needed. Immediately, Song Zhaomei decided on the candidate for this purge without hesitation.

"Andrew, I will now hand over the command of the First and Second Expeditionary Corps to you. This operation must deal with the Sisterhood and the Corino Royal Family as soon as possible!"

"Don't let the boss and I wait too long. The situation here may change at any time. I don't want more accidents."

Since you want to use people, of course you have to use subordinates who can understand your intentions and ideas, and Andrew's views and opinions just fit Song Zhaomei's ideas!

After being with her boss Li Ang for so many years and doing so many things for so long, Song Zhaomei is no longer the fragile and sensitive lark she used to be.

Her heart and skills are comparable to those of her former boss, President Miles. If she were her former self, Song Zhaomei might think that it is better to do less than more.

Just catch a few high-level members of the sisterhood and kill them to set an example.

But after so many unified cosmic actions, Song Zhaomei has long realized that every civilized species fears power but not virtue.

One tolerance and concession will only make the other party think that the cost of taking advantage of oneself is very low, which will only lead to more frequent offenses.

If the sisterhood is condoned this time and the other party is not severely punished, then the next time may be an assassin from the Space Association, or even an assassin from other families!

Of course, both thundering means and appropriate "stopping" are still needed. The former can see the effect immediately, but the latter is the key factor to maintain long-term stability.

"I agree with Captain Andrew's proposal!"

At this time, other captains and senior commanders also expressed their support for Andrew and approved of Song Zhaomei's personnel arrangements.

After all, the plan to purge the entire sisterhood sounds very satisfying, but if it is really implemented, it will definitely be delayed for several years.

You know, the Universal Corporation spent several years just fighting the Star Alliance Unification Campaign in the 004 "Halo" universe.

If it is to deal with an organization like the Sisterhood that is scattered across the Galactic Empire, it would be too difficult to kill them one by one.

This is quite time-consuming and energy-consuming, so Andrew's proposal is the most efficient and reliable.

"We don't know how long we have to wait to kill all those witches in the Sisterhood. The boss definitely doesn't want us to stay in the 005 universe for too long."

"We still have to act as soon as possible to get rid of the Corino royal family and the Sisterhood once and for all!"

"That's right. This is a good opportunity to test the loyalty of the major families. If there are any dishonest and disobedient ones, we will catch them all and deal with them together."

"..."

Listening to the words of the officers present, Jack Wells laughed dumbly. In the past few years, he followed Reed to kill like crazy in the Halo universe.

When encountering such troubles, just push forward and it will be over. There is no need to be so procrastinating and come up with so many inexplicable tricks. These decisions made Jack a little uncomfortable.

"Well, this matter is decided!"

Song Zhaomei patted the table in front of her and issued the final order to everyone:

"Captain Andrew will be responsible for the cleanup operation next. In addition, I will dispatch the advance team of the heavens to carry out the decapitation operation against the Virgin Helen of the Sisterhood."

"As for the leader of this decapitation operation, let David Martinez take the position."

"This mission must be successful immediately. I hope everyone will work together. I don't want to leave a mess for the interstellar governor of the Dune universe."

Song Zhaomei set the tone for this operation with a double meaning. Not only must the main culprit be killed, but all the troubles in the Dune universe must be solved before she officially takes office as the governor!
