It is entirely possible for pirates to come from the east and bypass the Forgotten Reef to reach the international shipping lane, and after carefully analyzing all the information, Zhong Guobang is more and more agreeing with Li Zhan's judgment.

It is impossible to go to the west, which is already close to the land coastline, and pirates will not run to the land coastline, and the possibility of the north is also very small, and the further north they go, the more likely they are to encounter naval ships, so the north can also be basically ruled out.

Li Zhan analyzed and said, "The pirates have a strong sense of region, for example, this sea area is the scope of my plunder, and I resolutely disagree if you want to come over and get a piece of the pie, and I even don't hesitate to fight for this." The remnants of the Western Pacific pirates will definitely not dare to fight for territory with the Malacca pirates when they come here, so they will choose to plunder on the international shipping lanes here. In such a situation, they are unlikely to follow the route of the pirates of Malacca to the north. ”

"It makes sense, the Raptors don't suppress the head snake, even if the remnants of the West Pacific pirates are stronger than the Malacca pirates, they will not take the initiative to provoke the Malacca pirates." Zhong Guobang understood the joint points, nodded and said.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "If all of the above is true, the problem is obvious." Why can't you find any trace of the West Pacific pirates every time you rush to the scene? ”

Zhong Guobang said decisively, "They fled from the direction we ignored, to the east. ”

Li Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, when you arrived halfway, they had actually already managed to flee back, and the direction of their escape was opposite to you, you subconsciously thought that they would not run away in the direction of the Forgotten Reef, and without relevant preparations in this regard, they just ran in the direction of the Forgotten Reef." ”

Zhong Guobang suddenly thought of a very serious question, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he asked in a low voice, "Will there be a leak inside?" ”

Li Zhan was shocked by these words, he was surprised not because Zhong Guobang mentioned this possibility, but because he didn't expect Zhong Guobang to have such suspicions. How can there be a leak?

Wait, Li Zhan suddenly thought of a possibility, his surprised expression gradually became solemn, and asked in a deep voice, "You mean that someone inadvertently leaked confidential information?" ”

Zhong Guobang said, "That's right, I believe in our officers and soldiers, and there can be no deliberate leakage of secrets, but if the information that was inadvertently leaked is collected by someone with good intentions, it should not be difficult to judge our actions." ”

Li Zhan paid attention to it and said, "Check first, and then plan your actions after the investigation." ”

"I'll ask for instructions right away." Zhong Guobang said.

Li Zhan shook his head and waved his hand and said, "No, let's investigate internally first, as far as my people and you investigate secretly, don't alarm anyone, check it out." ”

Zhong Guobang was moved in his heart, and nodded silently.

Obviously, Li Zhan meant to keep things under control inside the Forgetfulness Reef, if anything. Why did Zhong Guobang ask for instructions, because Li Zhan was such an outsider in front of him.

Someone in the army leaked secrets, no matter how big a thing, can you hide it, absolutely not, but be cautious before figuring out the situation, even from the perspective of a small collective.

The two directly suspended all the next plans without making a sound. Li Zhan, Zhu Wei and Li Zixin ventilated, and took the two of them and Zhong Guobang to start a secret investigation.

The focus is on the use of communications.

The islands and reefs are a relatively closed environment, and there are three channels that are connected to the outside world: one is the ships that transport supplies, the other is the telephone correspondence between officers and soldiers, and the third is the engineering team on the reef.

Zhong Guobang said, "The correspondence can be as short as half a month or as long as a month, and the information is not timely, so this possibility can be ruled out." Telephone exchanges and the use of the Internet are two of the situations that I am particularly suspicious of. Officers and men have a certain amount of time to make phone calls every day, and the time to use the Internet is from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. every Saturday. ”

"There is monitoring on the Internet, and there will be no exception on this side of the Forgotten Reef, and there should be no Internet leaks." Li Zhan nodded slightly and said, "However, the mobile Internet is not easy to control, and this aspect should be listed as the focus of the investigation." ”

Zhong Guobang said, "I agree with you, but we have unified management of mobile communication equipment such as mobile phones, and officers and men must obtain the approval of the company commander to use mobile phones, and they can only use them on Saturdays and Sundays. ”

Li Zhan said, "Your emergency dispatch operations all use the same plan, and in the eyes of those who are interested, you only need some seemingly incompatible information to judge the law." ”

He said, "Contact your local communications department to get your records." ”

Li Zixin put forward another opinion, saying, "The security department needs to come forward to contact the local communications department, so that the knowledge will be expanded." I recommend checking the chat history of various instant messaging apps first, and if the records are missing, consider contacting your local communications department. ”

"Yes, then let's do it first." Li Zhan agreed.

Zhong Guobang immediately asked the commanders of each detachment to hand over all the mobile phones and laptops, and several people began to investigate in the small conference room. Because of his seldom contact with related software, Zhong Guobang didn't know much about the situation, and mainly relied on the three of Li Zhan's side to investigate. 、

They are all very experienced officers, and they can see at a glance what kind of text information would constitute a leak of troop secrets. A logical combination of a series of seemingly unrelated chat logs may be a piece of secret military intelligence.

After a whole day of investigation, it was found that the officers and men of the island and reef units used these external communication tools in strict accordance with the requirements, and there was very little activity on social media and there was no chat information that could leak secrets. It can be seen that the islands and reef units have done a solid job in secrecy and security education.

This result made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and it was undoubtedly the best result that the officers and men of the unit did not leak secrets.

"There are only two possibilities left, the ships carrying supplies and the engineering teams on the reefs." Li Zhan analyzed in a deep voice, "It is impossible for the ships transporting supplies to know about your every move, but the engineering teams on the islands and reefs are on the islands and reefs every day, and they are aware of the troops' every move. ”

Zhong Guobang said, "There are more than a dozen construction units, more than a dozen engineering teams with hundreds of people, and we also have security and confidentiality education for these people, but after all, they are not from the army, and I agree with Li Zhan's view that the focus should be on the engineering team." ”

Zhu Wei said, "Now that we can confirm that there is no leakage of secrets among the officers and men of the troops, I suggest that the security department be responsible for the next work and contact the local security organs to carry out a comprehensive investigation. ”

"I agree with Lao Zhu." Li Zhan looked at Zhong Guobang and said.

Zhong Guobang nodded slightly, "I can report to the top." ”

He can rest assured now, as long as the troops are okay, he has no worries. The most undesirable result is that some officers and soldiers leak secrets, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and if the consequences are caused, they will be severely punished. Security and confidentiality work is so important, this is a high-voltage line, and it is a veto work.

No matter how well you do your work in other areas, no matter how hard the place where you are stationed, once there is a problem in security and confidentiality, military discipline is unsympathetic.

After receiving the report, the Political Department of a certain Marine Corps unit attached great importance to it and immediately reported it to the ship's administration, which immediately organized an investigation team headed by a deputy director and contacted the local security department to begin the investigation.

The top-down investigation and sorting work is progressing very quickly, and this type of case has always been the number one case, and it has been taken very seriously from top to bottom. The day after Zhong Guobang's report, a Y-8 took the members of the military-ground investigation team to the Jiao, where they completed the preliminary investigation and grasped some clues, and after arriving at the Jiaojiao, they quickly conducted in-depth investigation and questioning of all the non-military personnel.

In just one day, the two workers were taken away, and after the investigation results were reported to Li Zhan's side, Li Zhan sighed.

He said to Zhong Guobang in a heavy voice: "Old Zhong, it is necessary to strengthen the education on the safety and confidentiality of the engineering corps, and also strengthen the management of their external communications and liaison, and it is best to be able to manage them with reference to the standards of the troops. ”

Zhu Wei also sighed and said, "Yes, the two workers who leaked the secret didn't understand anything at all, and just because of curiosity and vanity, they told the public what they saw and heard." The social media they use is not classified to be secretive, and the stealers easily gain access to information about the activities of the troops. ”

"It's a pity, and it's also very sad." Li Zhan shook his head and said.

Even if the two workers did something unintentionally, they were responsible for it, and they couldn't escape from prison.

"It's a pity that it's a young man, and they're all skilled workers." Zhong Guobang shook his head and sighed, and then said, "That's right, we must arrest the management." The engineering degree is on the islands and reefs for a long time, and there are many intersections between them and the troops in such a place, and the management should be adjusted accordingly. ”

Li Zhan said, "The security and confidentiality education of the army should also be strengthened, and the leakage of secrets by the engineering team has sounded the alarm for us. ”

"Engage in safety education! All communication tools are also in charge! Cancel all external communications outside the regulations, and strengthen the inspection of correspondence. I have asked my superiors for instructions, and they have approved it. In the coming month, we will conduct security and confidentiality education every other day. Zhong Guobang said.

When one person is sick, the whole family takes medicine, and if someone in the engineering team is sick, the officers and men of the unit also need to take medicine. It is not too much to last for a month of security and confidentiality education, and when it comes to security and confidentiality work, a major education usually lasts for more than a month, and some will even be conducted for 100 days in a row on a quarterly basis.

Li Zhan said, "Our military operations cannot be delayed any longer, and the affairs on the ground will be handed over to you, and I will be responsible for the affairs in the sky." We're going to start armed air patrols tonight, and your speedboats are going east as planned. ”

"Understood!"
