Li Qiye, chief of the military department, was inspecting and inspecting the recruit training camp on the outskirts of the imperial capital. After being summoned, he hurried back to the city.
"Master Yuan, I don't know why His Majesty summoned me urgently?"
Facing Chen Ziang's sudden summons, Li Qiye, the head of the military department, was also confused.
Therefore, after seeing Yuan Pu, Chen Ziang's personal aide, who was waiting at the gate of the palace, he also lowered his voice to inquire about the situation.
"President Li, something bad happened this time."
Staff member Yuan Pu also sighed after looking around.
"What disaster, please tell Mr. Yuan one or two, and I will be grateful when I turn back."
Li Qiye was also shocked, and couldn't wait to know what happened.
"A master craftsman from the No. 5 Arsenal has absconded, and he hasn't been caught yet. Your Majesty is very upset." Yuan Pu disclosed the news to Li Qiye, Chief of the Ministry of War.
After hearing the news, Li Qiye froze as if struck by lightning.
As the chief of the Ministry of War, he is in charge of the empire's army training, combat, and garrison scheduling. At the same time, those weapons, equipment, and fodder are also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.
The No. 5 Arsenal is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Equipment Division under the Ministry of War. Its main task is the research and manufacture of firearms, which are highly confidential.
Now that a master craftsman has absconded, Li Qiye is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.
Once the gunpowder manufacturing technology falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be too passive for the Far East Empire.
The reason why their Far Eastern Empire's army was able to defeat the Holy See's cathars was that the sky thunder made of gunpowder played a major role.
"President Li, let's go, Your Majesty is waiting."
Seeing Li Qiye standing there with an uncertain expression, Yuan Pu, the aide, urged.
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, I will definitely thank you when I look back."
Li Qiye also recovered from the shock, and bowed his hands to Yuan Pu as a thank you.
After all, with the news disclosed by Yuan Pu, he also had a bottom line in his heart, so that he would not be passive when Chen Ziang summoned him.
"President Li is very polite."
Staff member Yuan Pu is Chen Ziang's personal staff member, so he has been in contact with many things and is relatively well-informed.
However, the rank of his personal staff is only fifth rank. Compared with a first rank official like Li Qiye, even though Chen Ziang is standing behind him, he still dare not offend a first rank official like Li Qiye.
As far as Yuan Pu is concerned, even if the secret technology is leaked out, it still cannot shake Li Qiye's status as a powerful minister of the empire.
After all, Li Qiye was one of Chen Ziang's earliest followers, no matter in terms of qualifications or prestige, he was ranked first in the Far East Empire.
Therefore, under such circumstances, being able to reveal some information to Li Qiye in advance will allow Li Qiye to confess his feelings.
Under the guidance of staff member Yuan Pu, Li Qiye followed silently along the way, and soon arrived at the Hall of Qinzheng.
At the gate of the Qinzheng Hall, Li Qiye met Du Jian, the director of the Intelligence Investigation Institute who hurried out.
The two passed by, Du Jian nodded slightly to Li Qiye, and left in a hurry.
"My minister greets His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
Li Qiye entered the Hall of Qinzheng and saw that the commander of Jin Yiwei, Zhang Xingbang, had arrived, and Chen Ziang, the emperor of the empire, was sitting on the dragon chair with a straight face.
"Stay flat."
After Chen Ziang waved his hand, he immediately stared at Li Qiye and asked.
"Has the Logistics Equipment Department reported any important matters recently?"
Li Qiye shook his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Logistics Equipment Department has been normal these days, and no abnormalities have been reported."
Although he already knew that something happened to the No. 5 Arsenal under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Equipment Division, but he had not been reported, so he could only answer truthfully.
Chen Ziang has been paying attention to Li Qiye's facial expression. After seeing Li Qiye's expression, his complexion eased a little. He felt that Li Qiye did not seem to be lying.
That also means that Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, did not know about this matter, so he can't be blamed for it, it was the people below who concealed the report.
"Someone absconded from the No. 5 Arsenal a few days ago, and took some important drawings and materials with them." Chen Ziang said in a deep voice.
"The importance of Arsenal No. 5You are also aware of the nature, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Equipment Department of your Ministry of War. It has been several days since you have not received a report, which means that there are some problems within your Ministry of War. "Chen Ziang said bluntly.
"Your majesty is not strict, please punish me!" Li Qiye hastily bowed down and pleaded guilty.
"I have entrusted you with such an important department as the Ministry of War. You are to blame for such a big incident this time."
"However, now is not the time to punish crimes. You should immediately go back and send someone to the No. 5 Arsenal to conduct a detailed investigation to see if the Logistics Equipment Department of your Ministry of War is suspected of malfeasance, and whether anyone is colluding with the enemy's spies. You must give me the details of the investigation. Be clear." Chen Ziang ordered.
"Zhang Xingbang is also going with your military personnel this time. I hope that the investigation team will set off as soon as possible to investigate the matter clearly."
"My minister complies!"
Zhang Xingbang, Commander of Jinyiwei, and Li Qiye, Chief of the Ministry of War, also hastily agreed.
Chen Ziang has already ordered Du Jian, the head of the intelligence investigation institute, to dispatch elite troops to hunt down the absconding craftsman Xie Rong.
And now he asked the Ministry of War to send people to investigate the cause and effect of the matter, which can be regarded as giving the Ministry of War a chance to correct its mistakes and gave Li Qiye face.
If Li Qiye, the commander-in-chief, did not repent and continued to protect his subordinates, he would not mind letting Jin Yiwei Commander Zhang Xingbang directly intervene to overhaul the Ministry of War.
Chen Ziang knew that since the incident had already happened, what he needed to do now was to remedy it, and then sum up the experience and lessons.
People from the Intelligence Investigation Institute have already taken action, and what the Ministry of War needs to do now is to clarify the matter and prevent similar incidents from happening again.
After Chen Ziang made simple arrangements, he let Li Qiye and the others leave with a wave of his hand. After walking out of the Palace of Qinzheng, Li Qiye's face darkened.
In the past, he had a high position and authority, and Chen Ziang always favored him, so many important matters were entrusted to him.
This time, Chen Ziang was obviously dissatisfied with him, so he didn't say a few words to him. All of this was caused by the No. 5 Arsenal.
Thinking about losing Chen Ziang's trust because of such an incident, it would be too much for the loss.
In his heart, he had already scolded the person in charge of the Logistics Equipment Division and the No. 5 Arsenal for making such a big mess for himself.
Now Chen Ziang asked the commander of Jinyiwei, Zhang Xingbang, to investigate together. It was clear that Chen Ziang attached great importance to this matter, so Li Qiye didn't dare to neglect it.
After separating from Zhang Xingbang, commander of Jinyiwei, at the gate of the palace, Li Qiye hurried back to the Ministry of War and called a group of important officials to hold an emergency meeting.
