I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 141 Let's all debut as heroes (Bonus chapter for 1800 monthly votes)

Logan didn't know why Hoover had given him the codename "The Sun," perhaps because he was the owner of The Sun.

Anyway, when he hears "sun," he only thinks of two words—green onion and orange!

And this loyalty will only be loyalty to the "sun"!

As for the sun's own loyalty, it certainly shines upon all things!
So after officially heading to Washington, Logan, along with the other two members of the Irish trio, Donald and Richard, formally announced:

"Guys, now, I, Logan, am a government employee!"

He paused, enjoying the puzzled looks on their faces, and then said clearly, "I have officially joined the Bureau of Investigation and become an agent loyal to the United States!"

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

Then, the large cup of coffee that Donald had just taken a big gulp of sprayed out as mist!

Richard was about to light a cigar when he heard Logan's words. The flame of his lighter stopped in front of the cigar, and he stared at Logan with disbelief, as if trying to find a trace of a prank on his face.

A good ten seconds passed before the two of them recovered from their shock and realized that Logan was not joking. Their eyes widened in disbelief!
Who has such poor judgment—no, who is such a genius!
Donald wiped his mouth with his sleeve, his voice booming like thunder: "Is this true? Which investigation bureau did you join?! Is it the one we know that ambushed us on the radio?!"

"No wonder, with their brains..."

Richard muttered to himself, "I could think about it for three days and three nights and still not understand why anyone would think you, Logan, would be a 'good guy' who's suited to have a government job?"

"What did they see in you? Your talent for crime or your ability to deceive?"

Anyone who knows this guy well knows that he's a "wicked element" who's good at pretending on the surface but is actually a wicked person inside!
They never imagined this guy would join a law enforcement agency that fights crime!

When Logan told them that the "director" who had recently made it onto the list of heroes and then dramatically "went to the lush pastures" was actually an undercover agent for the Bureau of Investigation, the two were shocked once again!

"Wow, that's ruthless! To be this serious about being an undercover agent! He really did rob fifteen banks!"

Richard was amazed by the undercover agent's dedication!
Donald jumped up, shouting, "You're saying the 'Director' is an undercover agent for the FBI?! Why the hell didn't you say so sooner! If I'd known, I would have taken some men and killed him! Thrown him into Lake Michigan to feed the fish!"

After hearing the "bad news" about the "director," he even went to visit him to express his condolences and told him to feel free to speak up if he had any unfulfilled wishes.

Looking back now, they were probably laughing their heads off inside—their unfulfilled wish was to arrest you!

Logan waved his hand unhurriedly, "I was afraid you'd act impulsively, that's why I didn't say so sooner."

Logan was genuinely worried that this guy's thoughts were written all over his face, and he was afraid he'd ruin his plans.

"Good news?" Richard narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively, "That 'director,' he's gone back. Does that mean he has a chance for a promotion?"

Logan chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "You'd be terrified if I told you. 'Director' isn't just a promotion; he's destined to become the king of spies, controlling American intelligence!"

But on the surface, he simply nodded calmly.

A glint of light flashed in Richard's eyes: "I understand. You agreed to join, not to be their lackey. You want to infiltrate the Bureau of Investigation?"

Logan laughed heartily, "Richard understands me best!"

"Who said only the Investigation Bureau can infiltrate gangs? Can't gangs infiltrate the Investigation Bureau?"

"Imagine a future where, one day, most of the people sitting in the Bureau of Investigation headquarters are our people; when those who try to compete with us are 'legally' eliminated; when the entire American law enforcement system is as transparent to us as our own backyard..." Donald excitedly continued, his face flushed: "Then wouldn't the whole of America become like Chicago is now, our playground?"

After hearing that Logan had told the "director" he was willing to push the Irish gang into becoming the Bureau's moneybag and an unofficial force, and that the other party might send people to infiltrate them soon, even Richard became eager to try.

He rubbed his hands together and said, "Donald, just pretend you know nothing and do what you're supposed to do; Logan, just be a loyal undercover agent; leave those guys who infiltrated to me to train!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Three sinister laughs echoed through the room!

……

Meanwhile, Hoover returned to the Bureau of Investigation headquarters in Washington, D.C., exhausted from his journey.

He has now been promoted to head of the intelligence department, in charge of all intelligence work for the Bureau of Investigation.

If Hoover should bear a significant responsibility for the CBI's Chicago "sneak attack" farce, why was he able to get promoted so smoothly?
Because a person's development depends not only on the course of history, but also on their family background!

Hoover's family had close ties to the federal government; his uncle was a close friend of Hoover's superior!

But before he could even savor the joy of his promotion, he discovered that the mess left by the farce was only just beginning.

In this era, departments such as the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications have established their own intelligence agencies. The Bureau of Investigation was already considered redundant by many departments. Now that it has caused such a big commotion, everyone is questioning why, if the Bureau of Investigation is so useless, resources and authority are not allocated to more specialized departments.
With lawmakers from Illinois putting pressure on the government, calls are emerging in Congress for significant cuts to the Bureau of Investigation's budget and stricter restrictions on its interstate law enforcement powers.

Without Logan's "urging," Hoover might not have felt there was anything unacceptable about it; he could have made gradual reforms and then fought for more budget and authority through actual performance.

But now, he's feeling restless.

Strengthening and expanding the size and authority of the Bureau of Investigation is now imperative.

Ultimately, it all boils down to a matter of money!
Hoover realized that headquarters' initial idea of ​​finding gang "partners" as a source of funds was not wrong, but the execution method was wrong.

Modern gangs are not like they used to be; you can't use force against them.

Logan, the "undercover agent" he had recruited, was the perfect fulcrum for implementing his soft strategy.

Hoover composed himself. "Hmm, we can't rush things. We can start with some small-scale, exploratory soft infiltrations to see if his 'sun' can maintain its unwavering loyalty."

Hoover then selected a few of the more astute-looking agents from among those who had been redeemed and spoke to them seriously.

"Gentlemen, the experience in Chicago was unpleasant, but it was also a lesson. To effectively combat crime, we must first have a deep understanding of crime, and even... be familiar with the criminals' way of thinking and their methods."

"Therefore, after careful consideration, the Bureau has decided to assign you an extremely important secret mission that concerns the future development of the Bureau."

Hoover paused, then said, word by word, "I invite you to debut as heroes!"

Hoover was stunned after he finished speaking.

Hmm, this sounds familiar. Does it sound like someone has said this to me before?
