In today's world, there are four main types of intelligence agencies that can be called "world-class intelligence agencies", namely:

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States, the Federal Security Service (KGB) of Russia, MI6 of the United Kingdom, and the Mossad of Israel.

Of course, every country has its own intelligence agency, but it is not well known for various reasons.

In South Korea, of course, there are similar intelligence agencies.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) is South Korea's top intelligence agency, which originated in 1948 and was officially established in 1961, as a secret intelligence agency established after the CIA of the United States, under the direct leadership of the president.

NIS has changed its name several times, and has gradually been reduced from a "prominent and influential secret service department" to a fringe department.

Although successive presidents have attached great importance to NIS, due to political needs and the international situation, NIS has not been developed.

Originally focused on gathering military and political intelligence, the role of the NIS has shifted to focus on gathering economic intelligence on South Korean companies' overseas competitors.

From the functional aspect, we can see the loneliness of NIS.

Coupled with the infamous 'Watergate' scandal a few years ago, South Korea's surveillance services were largely abolished by public opinion, leaving a vacuum.

Now, South Korea's separate internal surveillance department can almost be said to have none.

After a few years of silence, the NIS once again sought to develop, and accordingly, the National Police Agency began to reactivate the Surveillance Department in search of greater power.

However, due to the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, the police will not directly restore the surveillance department as before, and the pressure will be too great. Instead, the old wine was replaced with a new bottle, and a set of organizational structures were changed to deal with the opposition of the people.

South Korea is very deeply influenced by the United States, and the NIS was modeled after the CIA in the United States.

In this way, the police relied on the gourd. Modeled after the FBI in the United States, a test product, a surveillance section, was established.

While the plan was good, it ran into a difficulty: there were judicial obstacles.

The FBI is tasked with investigating violations of federal crime laws and supporting the law.

The nature of the FBI's work is similar to the convergence of a part of the powers of the South Korean police and prosecutors:

Like the South Korean police, the FBI performs the basic function of investigating crimes; At the same time, the FBI has some rights as a South Korean prosecutor during the investigation.

The most obvious feature is that the FBI can conduct investigative activities on its own. The South Korean police, on the other hand, do not have this authority and must consult the prosecutor.

In this way, the Surveillance Department's attempt to emulate the FBI raises a principled problem: the South Korean police do not have independent investigative powers.

Park Kook-kwan has a lot of eyeliner, and after hearing about it, he has been planning how to take this opportunity to intervene.

He knows. The police's determination to reactivate the Surveillance Division is very strong, and in the end, it will not be able to bypass the issue of 'independent investigation power' and the prosecution, so he has the opportunity to intervene.

It just happened that Kim Yoon-ho had just happened, which can be said to provide a perfect excuse for Park Kook-kwon.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the police to compensate Kim Yoon-ho, Park Kook-kwon proposed to let Kim Yoon-ho join the surveillance section.

The reasons he gave to the police were also very good.

First of all, Kim Yun-ho is a prosecutor who can approve the police's investigation and solve the problems that are now plaguing the police.

Moreover, with the procurator personally leading, the process of handling the case will also be much more convenient. This. It is also the most important thing for the police.

Secondly, Kim Yunhao has studied in the United States and participated in the FBI case, so he has relevant experience. In this way, it can provide valuable input for this new department.

In the end, Kim Yoon-ho was framed, and the police always had to compensate for it.

Letting Kim Yoon-ho serve as the leader of the surveillance section can also be regarded as compensation.

After becoming half of his own person, Kim Yun-ho will of course speak for the police and let the police get rid of the current pressure of public opinion.

For a variety of reasons. The police finally agreed to Park Kook-kwon's suggestion to set up a surveillance section modeled after the FBI, with Kim Yoon-ho, a prosecutor and familiar with the work of the FBI, as the section chief.

After listening to Park Kook-kwon's background introduction, Kim Yun-ho was dumbfounded.

Cattle!

That's awesome!

Park Kook-kwon can be said to have made the best use of all resources. In the end, he won the position of section chief, and also extended the civilian power again.

"However, after I go to work in the Surveillance Section, what will happen to the Special Search Department?" A new question arises for Kim Yoon-ho.

Park Guoquan smiled freely: "Give up!" ”

Kim Yunho asked rhetorically: "It's a pity?!" If I am given some time, I will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the Special Search Department. ”

He knew that Park Guoquan had made up his mind, and he had to work in the Surveillance Section. In addition, he wanted to go himself. The reason why I asked this was to ask about other ideas to test Park Guoquan.

The longer the contact time, the more he felt that Park Guoquan was unfathomable. It's always good to be as tempted as possible and get some information about Park Kook-kwon's ideas and related plans.

Of course, Park Guoquan could see Kim Yun-ho's thoughts, but he didn't break it and smiled.

He took an apple and an orange from the fruit bowl, shook them, and said:

"The position of the second seat of the special search department is like this orange, and the position of the head of the surveillance section is like an apple, and the weight of the two is different.

It's a pity, but why not give up this orange in order to get a heavier apple? ”

Park Guoquan suddenly became fierce and took a big bite of the apple: "Moreover, I have long wanted to try the taste of apples." ”

Park Kook-kwon's eating appearance is quite ugly, and there is no elegance at all, like a farmer sitting in the field eating, gulping and without scruples.

"Of course, if you are older, for example, with more than 5 years of work experience, I will not make this decision lightly."

Putting down the apple in his hand, Park Guoquan said abruptly:

"But now it's different, you're too young! If you stay in the Special Search Department, the best position is to keep the second place. Squeeze out Jung Jae-so and get promoted? No way!

Let's not talk about whether you can kill Jung Jae-so, even if you really kill him, it is impossible to become the chief with your qualifications and age.

Since you can't become the chief and completely control the special search department, then the value of your stay is much less. It's nothing more than giving us a voice in this department.

But it doesn't matter! I, Park Guoquan, do not lack this right to speak. ”

Kim Yun-ho nodded.

Park Kook-kwon's idea is 'economical', and fighting a war is for profit, and if there is not enough interest, of course he will not use force easily.

Kim Yoon-ho agrees with this very much.

"What I didn't expect was that you would develop so quickly, far beyond my expectations. So. I'm going to need to reschedule you. Park continued:

"Obviously, the prosecution system is not suitable for you to continue to develop at this time.

Secondment, on the other hand, allows you to avoid age and seniority issues, allowing you to get promotions and seniority outside. This is the case when you come back in a circle. The capital is also sufficient, and promotion will not be a problem.

Secondment to the police, on the other hand, to the Surveillance Section does not have such an obstacle. First of all, the nature of the work of this department is special, and everything is confidential. Park added.

That means you'll be a shadow. Not many people will know who you really are by then. Even if you're in a higher position, it won't be as conspicuous as it is now. ”

Kim Yoon-ho understandably says it's the best option for now.

"Okay, I agree to work in this department and accept those welfare policies that the police have given me."

Hearing this, Park Guoquan smiled happily.

Regarding Kim Yun-ho's choice, Park Kook-kwon was not surprised at all.

Smart people know how to choose.

"You've been talking about this for a long time, right?" Park asked.

Kim Yoon-ho was a little embarrassed and didn't answer.

Park stood up and went to the window to enjoy the scenery of the rising and setting sun. Sighed:

"I've been hiding in the Jiangnan District Prosecutor's Office, not because I don't want to move, but because I can't move easily.

I'm not young, I don't have many opportunities, as long as I move, I must hit with one blow. Because for me, I only have one chance to reach the top! ”

Climb to the top!!

Park Kook-kwon wants to be the prosecutor general!

………

Although he had expected it, he was still shocked to hear Park Kook-kwan say his plan in his heart.

Prosecutors are the most powerful public servants in South Korea, and the Attorney General is the boss of all prosecutors. That is the existence of direct dialogue with the Minister of Justice, and even with the President.

It can be said that the Attorney General is definitely the most powerful group of people in South Korea.

Park didn't look back, paused for a moment, and continued: "Of course. It's going to be very hard to get to that position, and my forces and I are ready for it......"

Park Guoquan turned his head suddenly, and looked directly at Kim Yunhao with sharp eyes: "And this beginning starts from you." ”

"Me?"

Kim Yunho also stood up at this time and pointed at himself in disbelief.

He is self-aware. Now he is barely a middle-level prosecutor, there are more such figures, and even if Park Guoquan is optimistic about his development potential, he will not give him such a heavy responsibility.

....... is the reason for that?

"Yes, that's you! It can also be said to start with your surveillance section. Noticing Kim Yoon-ho's incredulous appearance, Park Kook-kwon explained, "It seems that it is necessary to tell you about the Surveillance Division." ”

"The proposed Surveillance Section is subordinate to the National Police Agency and exists as a special agency. The duty is to spy on some important people, against crimes for which there is no direct evidence.

South Korean law is evidence-based, and everything is based on evidence, without which there can be no conviction or even investigation.

In many cases, even if the investigator knows who the culprit is, he is unable to investigate him because of the lack of evidence. At this time, some remedies are needed, such as this surveillance section.

The officers of the Surveillance Division walk on the fringes of the law, using all legal and non-illegal means to track and investigate the suspect until the evidence of the suspect's crime is found.

This...... It is the value and necessity of the existence of the Surveillance Division. ”

If ordinary police officers and prosecutors investigate above board, they use legal means to deal with suspects.

Then the Surveillance Section is to deal with suspects with relatively extreme and even shady means on the premise of not breaking the law.

Kim Yun-ho is more interested in the identity of an enforcer in this shadow.

After introducing the background and responsibilities of the Surveillance Section, Park continued:

"And the key point here, and what I value, is the authority of the Surveillance Section.

At present, the only department that can investigate nationwide criminal cases is the Wide Area Search Team. It undertakes big and important cases on the bright side.

The scope of the surveillance section to be established is also of a national nature. It is secretly investigating those more difficult big and important cases.

Understand... Finish...? ”

Kim Yoon-ho nodded, "Got it!" ”

The key word here is: national character.

It can be said that the Surveillance Division has the authority to investigate all criminal cases that occur in the Republic of Korea.

In terms of case-handling authority alone, the Surveillance Section has more case-handling authority than the Jiangnan Special Search Department, where Kim Yun-ho is located.

Park Kook-kwon showed a terrifying gaze and said in his characteristic deep voice:

"If you want to become a prosecutor general, you must have a strong enough force.

And competing for power is nothing more than weakening the power of competitors and increasing one's own weight.

There are two ways to weaken the opposing party's forces, the first is to start from within. You've been working for a while, and you can get a sense of the difficulty. It's very difficult this way!

The second way is to weaken the opponent's power through external forces.

The surveillance section you are about to take up is a very important external force.

Understand... Finish...? ”

Kim Yun-ho understood, "Understood! ”

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to start from within the prosecution, so the special nature of the work of the surveillance department is used to spy on competitors or people related to competitors, and finally find out the evidence of their crimes, so as to achieve the goal of weakening the opponent's power.

But there is a prerequisite for all this: the type of crime committed by the competitor must be a criminal case. (To be continued.) )
