During his time in the new world, Alenin achieved a lot. A lieutenant colonel of the General Staff, a Knight of the Order of St. George and Vladimir, awarded with all the combat orders possible for his rank, and the head of the Analytical Center—a new special service personally subordinate to the All-Russian Emperor. He gets hold of tools like intelligence, counterintelligence, and an analytical department with the right to obtain information from any government service of the empire, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the military department; to analyze it, draw conclusions, and develop optimal solutions for ensuring the security and state interests of the Russian Empire. And as a cherry on top—a department of special operations for the forceful resolution of the identified problems. Even though the center is still being formed, it’s already ready to show its teeth.
