The Secret Institute has no direct involvement in the army, and its members are completely under the command of Jiang Yu, so the management and distribution of power is relatively pure, which is very different from the intelligence department in the past.

On the surface, this is only a partial reclaim of the deliberation and command of the military, but in reality, it is a change in the status of the members of the Secret Council as officers, and transformed into real intelligence officers and secret agents.

Finding it difficult to directly train these simple guards as military staff officers and intelligence investigators, Jiang Yugang finally trained a group of personnel with basic military staff and intelligence agent qualities by establishing an intelligence department with mixed powers and responsibilities as a transition.

The Divine Hunting Academy is responsible for diverting the military staff part, while the Secret Institute is responsible for the intelligence agent part. The members of the Council no longer need to mobilize the soldiers of the army to contribute to themselves, each of them is the most elite warrior, and because of Jiang Yu's will, they theoretically hold the power second only to the Cardinal's Council.

As the highest management department under Jiang Yugang, the Cardinal Council has a certain ability to manage the Secret Academy, and the Secret Council only obeys Jiang Yugang's orders, so only after the Cardinals receives Jiang Yugang's order, can the Secret Council be truly mobilized.

After much analysis, only Jiang Yugang can dispatch the Secret Council, and at the same time ensure the supreme status of the Cardinal, so that the Cardinal will not be actually dominated by the Secret Council because of the Secret Council's ability to supervise all departments, and still maintain the ability to manage the Secret Council.

The powers of these two powerful departments are intertwined, and they can perform their own duties, and the real power is ultimately in the hands of Jiang Yu. In addition, through the specific management of the Shenjia Academy and his own status as the highest officer to achieve complete control of the army, Jiang Yugang has become the real master of the power of Mang Castle through a series of establishment designs.

Of course, he can do this, and his absolute prestige in Mang Castle is inseparable, and this right and prestige overlap, after a few months, although it cannot be said how deep the management control is, but it is definitely far beyond the management ability of the original cottage owners of these villagers.

The second feature of the Secret Institute is the absolute secrecy that the previous Ministry of Intelligence did not have. In the past, the identity of all members of the Ministry of Intelligence was basically open because the members had to negotiate with various parties, even the military.

These members are more well-known than ordinary soldiers, and many of them are completely open, and a large number of villagers, artisans, and soldiers are familiar with them, which makes it difficult to carry out some tasks that require secrecy.

After taking control of the forces in Nansangzhai, Jiang Yugang also thought deeply about the handling of this kind of identity exposure, and finally decided to train these members of the Intelligence Department who had been exposed as members of the Shenjia Academy, while the members who had not yet revealed their identities should keep their identities as secret as possible, in the hope that they could become professional intelligence officers in the future.

The last members of the Secret Council are all made up of these unidentified members of the Intelligence Department. Jiang Yugang arranged for Zhang Dake's Creation Academy to make a batch of masks, and the members of the Mystical Academy usually wore masks, and only when they did some necessary hidden tasks, they could take off their masks.

And whether they wear masks or not, they are not allowed to reveal their real names.

When choosing to join the Secret Academy, everyone must swear to hide their real names, except for using their real names when they come up with them with their families, and use pseudonyms at all times, including communicating with Jiang Yu.

For the pseudonyms of these people, Jiang Yugang also made a simple codebook with a triple correspondence, designed three fake names for each person, and did everything possible to hide the identities of the members of the Secret Academy.

Jiang Yugang did not design a title for the members of the Secret Science Academy at the beginning, and their long-term training in intelligence work and the secret intelligence work they later undertook, as well as the reality of being directly commanded by Jiang Yugang to carry out tasks, had already made them fully feel their own particularity, and they would gain a natural sense of mission when performing tasks.

Therefore, according to Jiang Yugang's original idea, there was no need to design a name for these members of the Secret Academy, but because of the special nature of the secret operations of the Secret Academy, as well as their unusual behaviors such as wearing masks every day.

The people of Mang Castle generally call them "secret army", which actually means "secret army", which is a reflection of other people's curiosity about the secret academy.

In addition to the secret academy getting the title of "secret army", Jiang Yugang also unexpectedly got an alias, which is related to Jiang Yugang's management of the various courtyards of Mang Castle.

After the establishment of the organizational structure of the Cardinals to manage the institutions responsible for various aspects of affairs and the names of various academies, Jiang Yugang also made unified regulations on the names of the management positions of each academy.

The supreme person in charge of each hospital is called "Envoy", which means that in order to accept the mission to manage affairs, each institute has a maximum of four deputy envoys in charge of affairs, and the following responsibilities are prescribed by each academy.

For example, the Alchemy Institute is divided according to the different parts of the different weapons it is responsible for, the lowest level is the "group", which is responsible for the division of labor for the production of a component, the higher level is the "branch" that manages the production arrangement of a component, and the upper level is the "department" responsible for a weapon, and above it is the two "bureaus" of smelting and production division of labor.

Taking the Secret Institute as an example, from top to bottom, it is first divided into headquarters and branches, and the level of all the people in the headquarters is one level higher than that of the subdepartment. The headquarters is centered on the residence of the secret institute in Manggu Castle, and the branch operates in the entire Manggu Mountain, as well as in the southwest area of Mengyang City.

The four deputy envoys are all stationed at the headquarters and are responsible for the management of four "offices":

First, the Divine Palace, the central coordination and management of the Secretariat Academy, centralized management of documents and personnel, no subordinate branches, all personnel are members of the headquarters, but there will be commissioners in the branches;

(2) the Holy Lower Office, which supervises the internal affairs of the other institutes and the Secret Academy, gathers information, and manages the branches responsible for the same affairs;

3. The Observation Department: It is responsible for external investigation and intelligence gathering, and manages the branches of the same affairs, and because most of the branches are for collecting foreign intelligence, the number of people managed by the Observation Department is the largest

Fourth, the Heavenly Hall: The secret operations and actual execution related to the battle, the Holy Lower Hall and the Shouguan Hall only have the power to collect and process intelligence, but the Heavenly Hall has the power to carry out actual actions based on intelligence. Whether it is the arrest of internal offenders or the special operation externally, the Heavenly Hall is in charge.

The Heavenly Hall also does not have a subordinate branch, and its personnel are usually scattered in specific locations and meet at special locations when needed, while the Divine Palace Agency is responsible for informing information between various departments and branches.

The design of this structure avoids that the Secret Academy, which has the right to secretly act, can carry out too many actions independently, and important actions must be handled by the Divine Imperial Hall, and after Jiang Yufu knows and decides, it will be handed over to the Heavenly Hall for actual action, and the Shengxia Hall and the Shouguan Hall, which actually have the most information, do not have the right to act.

The official title of the person in charge of each "department" is "secretary general," which means Jiang Yugang's assistant, and the real power is in Jiang Yugang's hands, and each secretary has three deputies, called "alternate secretary general," and the successor of the secretary general is selected from among the three.

Below each "office", except for the Heavenly Hall and the Divine Palace, which have no branches, they are the branches under their respective jurisdictions, and the person in charge of the branch is called the "secretary", and each person has two deputies, that is, the "alternate secretary". The alternate secretary will be one of the successors to the secretary.

Below the division level is the team level, called the "captain", who is generally responsible for the actual affairs and is the leader of the front-line affairs. The head of the headquarters is at the same level as the "alternate secretary" of the branch, and the head of the branch is one level lower.

The captain has a deputy, called a "teacher", who is responsible for helping the captain manage affairs and is also one of the captain's successors. Whether it is the "secretary" of the head of the branch or the "captain" of the team, in addition to the deputy who can be called the successor, someone else can be selected, and the personnel discussion is handled by the Divine Palace.

The person in charge of the hall, the "secretary general", except for the case directly appointed by Jiang Yugang, can only be elected from three deputies.

Below the team level, it is the group level, and it is also the most basic structure of the Secret Academy, with a team leader and a deputy team leader. The appointment of the team leader is determined by the plan given by the team to which he belongs. The deputy team leader is selected by the team leader.

The head of the headquarters is equivalent to the teaching of the branch.

In the entire Secret Academy, the lowest-ranking members are called Introductions, a name that emphasizes the particularity of the Academy on the one hand, and a disguise on the other hand.

The members of the branch are the members of the first level, the deputy leader of the branch is the second level, the branch teaching is the third level, the division commander is the fourth level, the alternate secretary of the branch is the fifth level, the branch secretary is the sixth level, the alternate secretary general is the 7th level, the secretary general is the 8th level, and finally Jiang Yugang is the only 9th level. below the office, at the headquarters level of all functions at the higher branch level.

Jiang Yugang, who completely controls the Secret Academy by himself, is somewhat different from the other academies. Because of its connection with the military, the Divine Hunting Academy naturally participated in the military democracy promoted by Manggu Castle, and the various artisan departments themselves had to constantly discuss technology within themselves, and all the institutes, except for the relatively independent Secret Academy, had to communicate with the Cardinal Council.

Only the Secret Academy, Jiang Yugang established absolute authority, here, he is like the master, which is why he is named: "the master of the secret army", referred to as "the master of the army".

Jiang Yuyan couldn't laugh or cry at this title, he didn't investigate who came up with this name, but accepted it silently. After all, compared to the ancient name of "Hundred Households", having a new name is not necessarily a bad thing.

To a certain extent, this also represents his control over the forces of Mang Castle, although he leads and uses a large number of materials from Mengyang City, but the real authority is gradually concentrated on Jiang Yugang, rather than limited to the abstract leadership concept of the Ming army.

To put it simply, even now, neither the commanders who have been directly managing Jiang Yugang nor the Qianhu who is nominally Jiang Yugang's boss can really mobilize the troops of Mang Gubao for their own use.

To achieve this, it is inseparable from Jiang Yugang's long-term continuous changes to the special organization of Mang Castle, and the establishment of the Secret Academy is partly to prevent the appearance of people like himself under his subordinates.

·····························

Jiang Yugang finally chose a remote corner of Mang Castle as the residence of the Secret Academy, and there were no people living around it, and Jiang Yugang did not plan to allow this area to be full of people, at most, he just arranged for some internal members to live and help as a disguise.

And the two capable Secret Chambers were guarding outside the courtyard, although they were not as imposing as ordinary guards, but looked a little lazy sitting on bamboo chairs to enjoy the shade, but their keen eyes showed that they had more guarding tasks than ordinary guards.
