Chapter 604: The History of the Xumi International Column and the Feud with the Fatui
Xumi, formerly known as Huanalana, is the headquarters of the International Brigade.
Five hundred years or more ago, Tianhe wanted to establish an organization similar to the International Brigade on the continent of Teyvat.
Of course, the organizational structure will naturally not be the same as that on Earth. As for the name, since Tianhe is not good at naming, it is still named the International Brigade.
As for why the headquarters was finally set in Xumi, although there are actually suitable places in other countries, Tianhe feels that Xumi is more suitable.
In addition to providing a sufficiently hidden place for the International Brigade, Huanalana in the past also had another advantage, that is, it could radiate the entire Xumi and was close to the desert and rainforest.
If you ask the Great Compassion Tree King whether he knew about this, the answer is of course that he knew. Putting aside Tianhe's huge move, it would be difficult for the Great Compassion Tree King not to know about it. Moreover, her follower Lan Na Luo is not a person who just sits there and does nothing.
However, Tianhe had reached a cooperation with the Great Compassionate Tree King early on, and the "International Column" was able to officially take root in Xumi.
In fact, the advanced ideas of the International Brigade and the outdated rules of the Council of the Church are, if not exactly incompatible, at least incompatible.
As time went on, the International Brigade gradually became an official organization of Xumi. Especially with the tacit approval of King Dacishu, the International Brigade established a powerful army as Xumi's own military force.
With the strength of the International Brigade, the leadership position of the Ministry of Education in Xumi was gradually shaken, and it slowly developed towards the national education department.
However, this is actually a good thing for the Fatwa. By separating politics from education, the Fatwa can better manage scholars and their duties are more clearly defined.
The International Brigade is in charge of Xumi's politics, military affairs, and finances as well.
It seemed that the Council of Faith suffered a great loss, but in fact, the International Brigade bore more responsibility. However, the scholars of the Council of Faith were short-sighted and only cared about the petty gains in front of them, and did not realize this.
Although the rise of the International Brigade is a hundred benefits to Xumi, some people do not think so, such as the six sages who hold the real power of Xumi.
Maybe not all of them, but there are indeed some among them who cannot accept the shrinking power in their hands, but they are powerless to fight against the International Brigade that controls the finance, military, and politics, and has the support of the Great Compassion Tree King.
In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the Institute of Religious Affairs gradually faded away from the political stage of Xumi.
Later, after the Kanreya War, the Dark Disaster ended. The Sage of Xumi learned through his own channels that in the distant Kingdom of Winter, with the permission of the Ice Queen, the Fatui were established and became the official organization of the Kingdom of Winter.
The people of Xumi actually pinned their hopes on foreign forces to restore the former glory of the Church. Unfortunately, their plan failed at the very beginning.
However, with the help of some wise men, the fools gradually reached Mount Sumeru. But soon, they discovered several shocking facts.
First of all, the intelligence agency of the International Brigade took countermeasures as soon as the Fatui invaded Xumi. They reached out to the Kingdom of Winter and continuously obtained their intelligence. This was really a formidable opponent.
The fact that the Fatui successfully entered Mount Sumeru had nothing to do with the help of these sages.
The Fatui found that if the International Brigade had not turned a blind eye and acquiesced to their entry, the Fatui would have been expelled long ago with the powerful military force of the International Brigade. Therefore, during that period, the Fatui of Xumi were very honest.
At that time, the Fatui had not even figured out the basic situation of the International Brigade. As for the wise men in the Order of the Holy Fathers, most of their information was unreliable.
There was no other way, the Fatui could only send a diplomatic mission headed by Executive Officer [Madam] to negotiate with the International Brigade and make them stop their actions by paying some price.
You asked where the wise men went. After the Fatui confirmed that they were of no use, they had already been abandoned. The Fatui handed the evidence of the wise men's betrayal to the International Brigade as a bargaining chip and let them deal with it.
Of course, the Fatui knew that with the capabilities of the International Brigade intelligence agency, there was no way they didn't know what these sages were doing. Perhaps they wanted to let them jump around for a few more days to collect more intelligence before taking them down.
Until today, the existence of the International Brigade has prevented the Fatui from making any rash moves in Xumi. This is because the Fatui have found that they cannot infiltrate the top levels of the International Brigade, and even the grassroots are difficult.
The spies who had infiltrated, after a period of time, became members of the International Brigades. For a while, the Fatui did not know what was going on and had to give up the infiltration.
Now, the strongest slice of the Fatui executive [Doctor] arrived at Xumi not long ago and started cooperation with the Order of the Church in a high-profile manner. I am afraid that the International Brigade does not know about this matter. Is it just a pretense, or is there really something to rely on...
However, this is not important. At the same time, our Abyss Cult's Princess, Kong, came to the International Brigade headquarters. Unexpectedly, Kong is also a member of the International Brigade's senior management.
However, Kong had not been to the International Brigade many times, and did not know how far the International Brigade had developed. She came here for one and only one purpose, which was to see what tricks Tianhe had left.
Well, this chapter is quite difficult...
