Chapter 292: Intelligence Agencies (II)

The personnel arrangement of the Ministry of Security will be divided into six types: internal affairs personnel, internal service personnel, field personnel, special operations personnel, informants, and non-staff personnel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Internal affairs personnel refer to those who sit in the office of the Ministry of Security and are generally responsible for the administrative affairs of the Ministry of Security, overall management, and the formulation of plans and tasks; internal personnel are those who work in areas controlled by the veteran clique, including personnel who set up intelligence points in various places, conduct social investigations, and collect various kinds of information; while field personnel are those who are assigned to work outside the areas controlled by the veteran clique; and special operations personnel are personnel who are responsible for carrying out special tasks, such as assassination, theft, seduction, rescue, and so on. All of the above are the official personnel of the Ministry of Security.

Informants are people who are recruited by the Ministry of Security to provide intelligence or carry out other work for the Ministry of Security through means such as bribery, rebellion, brainwashing, and even coercion, and these people often have a certain status and may have access to a certain level of secret information;

At the lower level, non-staff personnel are basically people living at the bottom of society, who are only entrusted by the Ministry of Security to carry out some intelligence gathering work at the bottom level, and these people are in a pure cooperative relationship with the Ministry of Security, and it is basically impossible for them to be accepted by the Ministry of Security as full-fledged personnel.

Now the Ministry of Security has absorbed 12 non-staff personnel in Tianjin, all of whom are small business vendors, have a little culture, can write and calculate, and have signed confidentiality agreements, and can get a reward of one or two silver every month, requiring them to see any suspicious things, including the supervision of grassroots law enforcement personnel, whether they have accepted bribes, covered up corruption, Acts such as bullying and kindness can be recorded and reported, and the Ministry of Security will regularly send people to collect them, but the time of collection is uncertain, so as to prevent these non-staff personnel from grasping the rules. If valuable intelligence is found, additional rewards can be obtained based on the value of the intelligence.

Due to the limited means of surveillance in this era, and the fact that these small traders were in contact with the lowest strata of society, it was possible to find information and intelligence in many blind spots of government surveillance.

However, the non-staff personnel themselves have limited cultural level and vision, and they must also prevent them from using this power to carry out private retaliation, so all non-staff personnel are directly in contact with the Ministry of Security in a single line, and there is no horizontal contact with each other, and they are not aware of the existence of other personnel, and the information they provide can only be used as a reference, and cannot be used as reliable information, which must be corroborated by each other, and then verified by the Ministry of Security, before it can be determined. Non-staff personnel must be removed immediately if they are found to have committed irregularities.

After listening to Shang Qisong and Jiang Shiwei's reports, Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun, Wang Yunpeng, and Xu Jichao also had a sense of surprise, because in the old time and space, the Ministry of State Security has always been one of the most secret departments of the Celestial Empire, and Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao's level has not yet been able to contact the Ministry of State Security, while Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, and Xiao Jianjun have had several contacts with the Ministry of State Security because they are middle-level officers, such as visiting foreign countries, or conducting joint military exercises with foreign militaries, etc., sometimes accompanied by one or two people from the Ministry of State Security, and the requirements of the superiors are generally to fully cooperate and stay away. Just like this evacuation operation.

Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, and Xiao Jianjun are all professional soldiers, and to be honest, they don't have much affection for intelligence officers, because everyone knows that they must have a file in the Ministry of State Security, and the records in it are probably more detailed than they know, so the people who see the Ministry of State Security are a little hairy in their hearts, as if they have no secrets in front of them. Naturally, the people from the Ministry of State Security also stayed away, and fully cooperated with the task, but they never said a word, and when they met afterwards, they all pretended not to know each other. I walked with Shang Qisong and Jiang Shiwei for a month, but there was not much communication. Of course, Shang Qisong and Jiang Shiwei are not people who talk much, and their presence in the entire fleet is not strong.

But everyone knows that the intelligence service is an indispensable part of a modern state, but now that he is the leader of the country, he must have such an institution, and the more complete and capable it is, the better. In fact, in the old time and space, the Ministry of State Security of the Celestial Empire was not an eye-catching agency, but in the international intelligence community, it was prominent in its own voice, and several famous intelligence agencies, such as the FBI, CBI, KKB, MI6, The Mossad and others are equally famous, but they do not understand the composition and operation of the Ministry of State Security, and now after listening to Shang Qisong and Jiang Shiwei's price, they have a certain intuitive understanding of the operation of the intelligence department, and professionals are indeed professionals, although the structure of the Ministry of Security they are currently formulating is only a simplified version of the Ministry of National Security in the old time and space, but its structure and operation have been almost perfect, and over time, it is not difficult to become a feared intelligence agency in this time and space.

Xia Bohai nodded and said, "Comrade Shang Qisong and Comrade Jiang Shiwei, you have done a good job, you must put our intelligence department into operation as soon as possible to protect our great cause, I don't know if the Ministry of Security has any other requirements, you can just put it forward." ”

Although Xia Bohai praised him, Shang Qisong and Jiang Shiwei's expressions did not change, and Shang Qisong said: "Commander, although our Ministry of Security is directly responsible to the Executive Committee, we hope that the Executive Committee can clarify the overall director of the Ministry of Security. ”

Xia Bohai was stunned, and his expression was a little embarrassed, because Shang Qisong's words were in his heart, the intelligence department is a double-edged sword, and it must be firmly controlled in the hands of the leader, otherwise it will be easy to hurt himself, and it is impossible for any leader who loses the support of the intelligence department to sit firmly. Xia Bohai also thought that he or Qin Zheng should be in charge of the security department, but he didn't think about how to speak for a while, but he didn't expect to be told by Shang Qisong.

In fact, Shang Qisong, Jiang Shiwei is a professional intelligence officer, and in the old time and space of the Ministry of State Security, he is already considered an upper-middle level personnel, of course he knows the sensitivity of the intelligence department, although the intelligence department is mysterious, even terrifying and powerful, but in the final analysis, it is still a department that is dependent on the regime, once it leaves the support of the regime, no matter how strong the intelligence department's ability is, it is useless, in the old time and space, when the once powerful red empire fell to the ground and fell apart overnight, and the world-famous intelligence department KKB was powerless in this great turmoil, although later it was still for the successor of the red empire to offer a president with outstanding ability to turn the tide, but also unable to restore the former majesty.

The intelligence department is destined to be a department on the dark side in a country, and must obey the supreme leader of the country, so the most taboo thing for the intelligence department is to take the lead, so Shang Qisong took the initiative to let the executive committee designate personnel to be responsible for managing the work of the Ministry of Security.

Xia Bohai nodded and said, "Okay, we will study this matter, do you have any other requirements?"

Jiang Shiwei said: "Now that the personnel of the Ministry of Security are limited, we hope to expand the personnel, and this time it is not up to everyone to sign up, but to be personally selected by me and the Minister of Commerce." After a pause, he said: "During this time, through the observation of me and the Minister of Commerce, a group of suitable candidates have been determined, including veterans and naturalized people. ”

Xia Bohai thought for a moment and said, "Yes, as long as they are willing." After a pause, he added, "Of course, the principle of voluntariness is limited to the senators, and the naturalized people must obey orders. ”

Jiang Shiwei's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "We also hope to select some veteran soldiers in the army, because the quality of veteran soldiers is relatively high, and they are special services, and they are veteran soldiers, so they can get started as soon as possible." ”

Xia Bohai exchanged glances with Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun, and Qin Zheng said: "Yes, but the number can only be limited to 20 people, and it is only limited to ordinary soldiers below the platoon commander." ”

Jiang Shiwei nodded and said: "Yes, anyway, after entering the Ministry of Security, we will conduct training, there is no difference between platoon commanders, company commanders and ordinary soldiers in this regard, but the speed of getting started is much faster than that of naturalized people, and we need at least two snipers, and we also need a batch of weapons for our army." ”

Xia Bohai smiled and said, "Of course this can be." ”

Shang Qisong said again: "Commander Xia, Political Commissar Qin, Chief of Staff Xiao, and Minister Wang, Minister Xu, the purpose of all of us is to serve our great cause, but the Ministry of Security is a special agency, and the record of today's meeting is not made public, and we also openly and honestly say that in a sense, the intelligence department is the presumption of guilt, and everything needs to be suspected, in our eyes, anyone should be a suspect, so we need to confirm the scope of responsibility and authority of the Ministry of Security, in short, our monitoring scope is there, except for monitoring local people, In addition to naturalized citizens, we would like to be given clear authorization to supervise the senators, the administrative department, the executive members, and the military. ”

When Xia Bohai and the others heard this, their faces couldn't help but become solemn, and even their heartbeats seemed to be a lot faster, because Shang Qisong's words were Guan Jian of the intelligence department, that is, the scope of execution of the intelligence department, which could be monitored to that step, and at the same time, it also made a few people really have a feeling of power, and they could decide the fate of tens of millions of people with one sentence, but when it came to the decision of a few people, they couldn't help but hesitate a little.

After a long while, Xia Bohai said: "Regarding the scope of responsibility and authority of the Ministry of Security, this matter is very important, so we need to discuss it carefully before we can make a final decision, please wait a few more days." ”

Shang Qisong also nodded and said: "It's understandable, anyway, we still have a lot of things to do before this, so we can wait for a while, but the intelligence department is related to the safety of the country, and I hope that several executive committee members can seriously consider it." ”
