Although Jiang Bei already knew that this matter would definitely be a big deal, he didn't expect to hold a meeting on the third floor right after receiving the news.

But when you think about it, it makes sense. If it wasn't a big deal, why would he call me at four in the morning?

The sky is falling, no less.

Not long.

Jiang Bei arrived at the conference room on the third floor.

Push the door and enter.

Inside the house, at a glance, there were nearly twenty people!

Apart from Li Xiaobo, Jiang Bei didn't see anyone from the Shanghai Military Department! After all, Jiang Bei always went to the military department when he had nothing to do, so he was quite familiar with the people in the Shanghai Military Department.

Jiang Bei's inner resentment towards the military had long since subsided. After all... these people's performance was quite good.

It was only a small group of people who were wrong at the time, so we cannot generalize.

And those people are almost all dead.

at this time.

In the conference room, Li Xiaobo was actually sitting at the last seat!

The chief commander of the Shanghai Military Department actually sat at the last seat in a meeting of the Shanghai Military Department? What kind of operation was this?

Jiang Bei had a rough idea of ​​the identities of the other dozen or so people.

At this time, the main seat is empty and the right side of the main seat is empty.

The first person on the left is Liu Guoliang who arrived in Shanghai yesterday...

His mental state at this moment was fine. Although it was obvious that he had not slept all night, at least he was not woken up directly from his dream.

But the other dozen or so people... were completely different.

The spirits were somewhat sluggish, as if they were forcing themselves to be energetic, and many people had a cup of coffee in front of them.

At this time, half a cup has been drunk.

These people hold high positions and have great power, and even in such units, they still maintain their traditional hobby of drinking tea.

Over the years, the smell of tea on my body is incompatible with the taste of the black coffee in front of me.

I guess when you drink it, you must be cursing in your heart, why would anyone be willing to drink this stuff?

But there is no other way, they have to cheer up!

because……

They received the news at one in the morning.

The Imperial Capital’s military directly arranged a special plane, and everyone had to arrive at the airport within twenty minutes, with no time for preparation at all.

It’s not an exaggeration.

Although they all lived in the core area of ​​the imperial capital, reaching the airport in twenty minutes... was almost impossible.

Fortunately, they are the leaders of the military, and without exception, they are all military men.

Completing orders is the basic duty of a soldier!

No matter how difficult it is!

so……

The moment they received the news, they opened their eyes and got up directly, without even having time to change clothes or wash up!

She wore slippers and pajamas, grabbed her clothes and ran out.

Catch the plane... and then arrive in Shanghai around four o'clock, which is when Li Xiaobo made the phone call to Jiang Bei.

The moment Jiang Bei pushed the door open, everyone stood up at the same time.

"King of the North." Liu Guoliang, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, addressed him respectfully.

Jiang Bei waved his hand casually, then walked to the main seat with a gloomy face and sat down.

Then he pressed down gently.

Only then were everyone able to take their seats.

Liu Guoliang remained standing, and when Jiang Bei looked at him again, he explained, "King of the Northern Territory, these are the new leaders of the military who arrived in Shanghai overnight."

"Tonight's meeting cannot be conducted via video, so we must be extremely careful," said Liu Guoliang.

Jiang Bei nodded slightly, knowing clearly what was going on.

Why did these sixteen or seventeen military leaders who came to Shanghai specially come... instead of Liu Guoliang returning to the capital?

Could it be that the conference room on the third floor of the Shanghai military headquarters has better soundproofing than the one at the headquarters in the imperial capital?

Or does it mean that this meeting cannot be held without Li Xiaobo?

This is of course impossible!

Of course, Li Xiaobo is indeed very important.

Because judging by the church’s actions during this period, if there is any further action... it will definitely be in Shanghai.

Li Xiaobo must also participate in this meeting.

but……

Because Jiangbei is in Shanghai!

That’s why... these people had to come here.

Jiang Bei was somewhat relieved in his heart. It was Xu Wanqing who persuaded him to come today...

Today's matter seems to be a bit big.

"King of the North, can we start the meeting now?" Liu Guoliang asked.

There was no need to introduce his subordinates at all, as if they came here just to make a cameo appearance and have a sense of participation.

"Let's start." Jiang Bei said.

"Yes." Liu Guoliang stood up and turned on the projection in front of him.

Above is a series of photos…

"This is the picture and message sent back from Jerusalem four hours ago...Our people have been completely wiped out."

"When the military just took action, we arranged people in Jerusalem to gather intelligence, but no news has been sent back so far. We all thought..." Liu Guoliang's voice was heavy.

"The order I issued at the time was not to send back any messages unless necessary and not to expose yourself..."

"Last time, the news that the three cardinals were going to China was actually discovered by them, but I don't know whether it was because they couldn't confirm it specifically or... they didn't pass on the news."

There is also a subconscious meaning behind these words - in Jerusalem, as long as they dare to pass the message back, no matter how covert the means are, it will be discovered.

You will definitely die!

These people... only have one chance.

From the moment they entered Jerusalem, their fate was already determined, and they were willing to be the dead soldiers!

Jiang Bei was shocked.

And... is it not necessary for the three cardinals to enter China?

So what is necessary?

Soon, Liu Guoliang gave the answer.

"There are four cardinals in the church." Liu Guoliang's voice was a little dry, and his fists were clenched. I don't know if it was because of the death of these military intelligence personnel, or because the matter was too big...

As he spoke, Liu Guoliang brought up the way to become a cardinal in the church.

Jiang Bei also knows all this.

After all, they captured a cardinal, and he was very cooperative...

"Not long ago, the church sent three cardinals to China for the purpose... of obtaining the saint of the church."

Jiang Bei nodded.

This saint girl is now in his house... and she is his nominal fiancée.

Therefore, he really had no other way to deal with this matter, and he really had to take the lead.

Before coming here, I had considered...

"There are four cardinals, and the last one is left, Bishop Bill... He is truly the one who is second to none in the church."
