Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

Before Winter City was developed, the military camp was located in a relatively remote area.

There were few residents around, and the army's training wouldn't affect anyone else.

But now, civilian houses have been built around the military camp, and with more people around, the military camp is no longer in a remote location.

If there are too many people around, it will disturb the civilians, and most importantly, it will be difficult for the army to carry out its training normally.

Military training requires a certain amount of space and a quiet environment. If the surroundings are noisy and crowded, the training effect will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, the mixing of the military and civilians can easily lead to conflicts and disputes, affecting social stability.

With the army gone, who will maintain order in Winterfell?

It was mainly handed over to the Ministry of Public Security.

Link glanced at Fiora, who had remained silent to the side. Fiora was dressed in a black uniform, looking very capable.

She was in charge of managing the Ministry of Public Security, and she was usually conscientious and responsible in her work, which earned her the deep trust of Link.

"Fiora, the reason I called you here is to expand your Ministry of Public Security. The personnel will be selected from the military. I have a test paper here, which will be given to those who are willing to be transferred to the Ministry of Public Security. The minimum score is 80 points to be selected."

Link took a bundle of test papers from the drawer and handed them to Fiora. "Fiora, you are in full charge of this matter. Expand the number of personnel in the Ministry of Public Security to 300."

“Yes!” Fiora took the test paper and said firmly.

The Ministry of Public Security has a heavy responsibility, including maintaining order in the city, investigating homicides, and conducting night patrols, making it probably the busiest department.

But she did not back down; instead, she was full of confidence and fighting spirit. She believed that with her efforts, the Ministry of Public Security would definitely become an important force in Winter City.

For Winter City to function efficiently, each department must fulfill its responsibilities and not allow any single department to handle too many things.

Take the military, for example. If you also had them handle murder cases and maintain order in the city, then they wouldn't need any training. The military's main responsibilities are fighting and maintaining the security of the entire territory; while the police are responsible for urban security, as well as firefighting, night patrols, and other tasks. One is responsible for external defense, and the other for internal security.

Like siege warfare, no, Link's goal is to kill the enemy before they even see the city gates, before they can even see the territory.

He had a long-term strategic vision and grand goals; he hoped to build Winterfell into a powerful and prosperous city, so that enemies would not dare to invade it easily.

"Alright, that's all for today. Remember to pass on the appointments," Link said, waving his hand.

"Yes!" The men bowed and then left the study one after another.

"Crack... Bang!"

The study door closed, and Link leaned back lazily in his chair. He had taken care of part of the security situation in Winterfell, but there were still some issues that needed to be addressed gradually.

He knew that building a strong city was not something that could be done overnight; it required continuous effort and exploration.

But he believed that under his leadership, Winterfell would grow stronger and stronger, becoming a shining jewel of this era.

167. Selection

Fiora hurried along, her expression showing urgency and seriousness, and quickly returned to the military camp with Lina and the others.

As soon as they entered their private room, Fiora slammed the door shut behind her, the soft "bang" seemingly shutting out all the outside disturbances.

Without any hesitation, Lina immediately took out the documents Link had given them from her bosom.

She gently unfolded the document, her eyes quickly scanning the words on it. However, as she read on, her brows gradually furrowed, her once relaxed brows now twisted into a deep frown, as if the contents of the document were a tangled mess that was difficult to unravel.

Every word on the document felt like a heavy hammer blow to her heart, making her realize how difficult the situation was.

Finally, Lina finished reading the documents. She took a deep breath, slowly closed the documents, and then got up and walked to the steel safe in the corner of the room.

The safe is dark gray in color, with a smooth and cold surface.

It stood there quietly, like a loyal guardian, protecting those vital secrets.

Lina skillfully turned the combination lock on the safe, and with a soft click, the door slowly opened. She carefully placed the documents inside, then checked again to make sure the door was locked before turning back to her seat.

Such safes are rare even in the entire Winter City, and only a handful of people own them, such as Fiora, Asagi, and Kim Meiting.

They are all important figures in Winter City, each shouldering different missions, and this safe is their exclusive place to store important intelligence and information.

These documents cover every aspect of Winterfell, from military deployments to economic development, from political secrets to the daily lives of its inhabitants; each document is crucial to the rise and fall of Winterfell.

In the event of any major incident, this steel cabinet will be the first thing to be escorted away. It contains many documents that are secrets about the construction of Winter City and must not fall into the hands of hostile forces.

"Phew...looks like I'm going to be busy for a while." Lina leaned back in her chair, sighed softly, and looked tired and helpless.

The document details adjustments to military deployments and sets of strict requirements, all of which are top secret. A leak of this information would have unimaginable consequences.

Lina knew the weight of her responsibility; she had to process this information as quickly as possible and devise appropriate countermeasures.

"Oh right, the Ministry of Public Security is looking for people!" Fiora, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly remembered something and quickly picked up an exam paper from the table.

This test paper was prepared in advance by Link for the selection of personnel for the Ministry of Public Security.

Fiora gently opened the exam paper, and suddenly a piece of paper floated out from inside. She quickly bent down to pick it up and began to read it carefully.

"This treatment is really good. I'm afraid all those soldiers want to go to the Ministry of Public Security."

Fiora looked at the contents of the paper, a faint smile appearing on her lips, before gently shaking her head.

She could almost see the soldiers' excitement upon hearing the news.

Without hesitation, Fiora took the test paper, strode to the door, pushed it open, and shouted loudly, "Someone, gather all the soldiers on the parade ground!" Her clear and loud voice echoed through the military camp.

Before Fiora could wait long, a considerable number of people had gathered on the military camp's parade ground.

These people were indigenous people recruited in previous conscriptions, not soldiers from the system.

They were standing in neat rows, their postures upright, their eyes firm, and the aura they exuded was not to be underestimated.

“This…” Fiora stood at the front of the line, her gaze sweeping over the soldiers before her, a wave of emotion washing over her.

Looking at the rather cramped parade ground, she thought to herself that this military camp was really too small, not to mention that they would be recruiting soldiers later, and cavalry at that.

Without a suitable venue, training will definitely be very inconvenient.

We can't just send them out of the city for training every time. That would waste a lot of time on the road, and the army's formation and training status would be easily discovered by hostile forces, causing unnecessary trouble for Winterfell.

Therefore, Fiora strongly supported the suggestion to move the general's camp outside the city.

Moreover, she knew very well that as Winter City continued to develop and expand, the surrounding land would eventually be engulfed by Winter City, and she was just moving to a different place in advance.

Of course, moving the military camp wasn't an immediate process; it had to wait until the new military camp in the east of the city was completed before it could be moved.

Otherwise, winter is coming, and if the soldiers are forced to live in tents in the field for too long, they will really freeze to death.

Winters in Winterfell are bitterly cold, with biting winds and raging snow. Without warm shelter, the soldiers find it difficult to endure the long winter.

"Cough cough cough..." Fiora coughed lightly, pulling her thoughts back to reality.

She glanced at the hundred or so people in front of her again, then called out, "I have something to announce today, which is good news for everyone."

Everyone remained silent, their eyes slightly widened as they listened quietly to Fiora's words.

Long-term training has instilled in them good discipline. They are no longer civilians and hunters who have just entered the military camp. They know that they should remain quiet and listen attentively when their superiors speak.

"The city lord needs to expand the personnel of the Public Security Department. Thirty people need to be selected from among you. We will know about the benefits after you are approved. Anyone who wants to go, please sign up." Fiora said to the soldiers in front of her in a calm tone.

She didn't explain the specifics of the benefits at the beginning because she knew that explaining them beforehand might affect the morale of those who weren't selected, which wouldn't be good for team unity.

“If you don’t want to go, you can leave the team and continue training,” Fiora added.

However, no one in the group left. They all stared at Fiora with curiosity and anticipation in their eyes, waiting for her to continue.

After all, Fiora had said from the beginning that this was a good thing for them, so they were naturally very curious about what kind of place the Ministry of Public Security was and what benefits it offered.

“Okay,” Fiora looked at the motionless line in front of her and was speechless. She thought to herself, “Not a single person has left. What do these people think the Ministry of Public Security is?”

Could it be a place that could elevate them to the top in one step?

"Go and move the tables and chairs from the cafeteria over here, and also prepare the pens you'll use for reading in the evening class," Fiora shook her head helplessly and immediately gave the order.

"Whoosh!" As soon as Fiora finished speaking, the group scattered, running quickly towards the cafeteria and dormitory like a flock of cheerful birds.

Although they didn't know what the Ministry of Public Security was, that didn't stop their curiosity.

They were all wondering what secrets the Ministry of Public Security held, and what challenges and opportunities awaited them.

Before long, tables and chairs were moved to the playground, with each table spaced two meters apart and arranged neatly.

Fiora also summoned some soldiers to supervise the exam and ensure its fairness.

"You only have one chance. Anyone caught whispering, peeking, or making loud noise will be immediately disqualified from the exam."

Fiora stood in front of the table, loudly reading the exam rules from the paper Link had given her. Her voice was serious and solemn, making every soldier feel the importance of this exam.

"Answer the questions honestly. Only those who score 80 or above will be selected. There are 100 questions in total, each worth one point. You have one hour. Now, begin answering the questions."

The test papers were quickly distributed, one for each person, and they were all multiple choice and true/false questions.

These questions are used to test a person's mentality, outlook on life, sense of right and wrong, and sense of good and evil.

For example, if you catch a thief stealing, what would you do?

The options are: you will take the thief back to the Ministry of Public Security for detention and interrogation; you will beat up the thief and then take the stolen money for yourself; you will kill the thief and then take the stolen money; you will warn the thief not to do it again and then let him go.

There are many simple questions like this, but there are also trick questions, such as replacing the thief with a beautiful woman or a relative, etc.

These seemingly simple trap questions are actually full of hidden tricks, and you can easily get them wrong if you're not careful.

If someone can answer 80 points correctly, then that person's sense of justice and moral compass are several times better than the average person, making them more suitable for the profession of patrol officer.

Police officers are an important part of the Ministry of Public Security. They bear the heavy responsibility of maintaining the security of Winter City and must have a firm sense of justice and a correct sense of right and wrong.

In fact, Link's future plan is to establish a police academy and cultivate people's sense of justice and loyalty to Winterfell from a young age.

He deeply understands that a person's character and values ​​are gradually formed during the growth process, and only by receiving the right education and guidance from childhood can truly outstanding talents be cultivated.

However, the conditions are not yet ripe, and we can only rely on one set of test papers to select suitable candidates.

Among those answering the questions, many were so anxious they were scratching their cheeks red, like monkeys.

They stared at the questions on the exam paper, some frowning, others biting their pens, racking their brains for the answers.

Several people couldn't help but look up to see how others answered the questions, but their behavior was immediately discovered by the Wolf Warrior Squad. Their test papers were quickly confiscated, and they were disqualified from the exam.

Time ticked by, and many people broke out in a cold sweat.

By now, they also realized that this Ministry of Public Security was no ordinary entity.

This is not just a simple exam, but an opportunity to change their destiny.

They are all giving it their all, hoping to achieve the best results and be selected by the Ministry of Public Security.

"Time's up, collect your papers!"

At Fiora's command, the soldiers in charge of proctoring the exam immediately began collecting the papers.

Fiora carefully put away the pocket watch in her hand. This pocket watch was given to her by Link after he extracted it from the system. There were no such good things in this world, so Fiora cherished it very much.

The test papers were collected, and Fiora took them and went back to her room.

She sat down at the table, took out the answers Link had given her, and began to carefully correct them.

However, the more she looked at the papers, the more she shook her head. Many of the papers were filled with random answers, and most of them were blank.

Although these soldiers train hard, they still have significant deficiencies in cultural knowledge and ideological awareness.

Ultimately, only twenty-two people qualified.

Looking at the twenty-two passing exam papers, Fiora felt both gratified and somewhat helpless.

She was quite helpless about the eight missing people and could only choose from a few scores in the seventy-something range.

She carefully examined the test papers with scores in the seventies, analyzing each candidate's answers, hoping to select the most suitable candidate.

Link had anticipated this situation and provided a solution: those who fell into the trap questions would not be allowed to pass.

The trick questions are a test of the candidate's mindset and values. If a candidate answers even the trick questions wrong, it means that there are still some problems with their thinking and that they are not suitable for working in the Ministry of Public Security.

Well, in the end, only three people were selected. Fiora still couldn't fill all the positions, and only twenty-five people were qualified.

As Fiora looked at the twenty-five exam papers, she thought to herself that although the number of people selected this time did not meet expectations, the quality was still guaranteed.

She believed that these 25 people would definitely be able to play their role in the Ministry of Public Security and contribute to the security and stability of Winter City.

At the same time, she also knew that this was only the first step in the construction of the Ministry of Public Security, and there was still a long way to go.

She decided that after this selection process, she would strengthen the cultural education and ideological training of the soldiers to improve their overall quality and cultivate more outstanding talents for the Ministry of Public Security.

168. Rainy Day

"L……"

Outside the window, the rain poured down relentlessly, as if the gods had poured out a basin of water, mercilessly washing every corner of Winterfell.
