Section 36 Foreign Intelligence Agency

After a week of investigation, the other two were quickly excluded. The consumption records of one of the people show that he drank rum at the café every day, often drank the daily limit of rum, and according to the people around him, he talked and pointed out the situation as soon as he drank. I've also had a few drunken episodes. Such a person was immediately defeated. There is also a person who has an average index in all aspects, but has never held a management position. When Minglang interviewed him, he found that all of this person's intelligence ideas came from thrilling novels such as 007, which was full of fantasy.

The rest of the candidates are Jiangshan, his personal information is very long, and Dai Huan, a representative of the Central Government Council, snorted after reading his materials: "This is simply the standard version of the elite." "Dai Hui is Ma Qianzhu's old man in the Planning Commission, and when the Planning Commission was reorganized into the Planning Institute, he was transferred to the Central Government Affairs Yuan.

The information is very prominent: Jiang Shan, 33 years old, graduated with a master's degree in psychology (social psychology), a master's degree in economic management (business management), and a bachelor's degree in medicine (bioengineering). He has worked in IBM marketing for two years, worked in power central enterprise engineering/business/jihua/investment for six years, and served as a project manager for large-scale single wind power projects...... Born into a family of airborne troops, he is familiar with small arms shooting and combat techniques.

"I think he's still relatively suitable." Minglang said, "Being the director of this bureau is mainly engaged in intelligence analysis and administrative management. In terms of his professional and professional status, he has more potential for development. ”

His secret identification showed that the man was gentle and tough, soft on the outside and steel on the inside, and calm and thoughtful. Broadly speaking, he is a suitable leadership candidate.

As for the financial records, they are also very clean. Records indicate that the man barely drinks at the café, and that his monthly voucher is only used to buy extra meals from the cafeteria, and that he does not smoke at all.

The crowd reported that this person was very willing to communicate with people, but never commented on current affairs.

"Comrade Jiangshan is here." The female clerk told him, and then he saw the man he had seen countless times in the photo walk in, weighing 173zcnG, this person's body shape is very well-proportioned, with broad shoulders and long legs, a typical athlete's body type, very healthy. Hair is cut extremely short. Looks smart and capable.

Minglang thought that if he hadn't had a round baby face and looked too delicate, he could have become a model of "pure Chinese" under the "new Chinese order".

"Hello, Comrade Minglang" came with a comfortable hearty smile and greeted him briskly. The man, who was dressed in a well-ironed training uniform with no mud on it and the smell of disinfectant water – he now works in a laboratory at the Ministry of Health and is part of a vaccine research and development team.

"Hello, please be seated." He owes a debt in his seat.

"You've got a nice air here." Jiang Shan looked at the office with a heartfelt look of praise,

"Where, where. Wherever the office goes, it's where it is. Ming Lang said.

He coughed, "I have been entrusted by the Executive Committee and the Senate to announce to you—" He put down the document in his hand, "I will not read the official articles, and I will inform you that you are now the deputy director of the Foreign Intelligence Service—but the permanent deputy director." ”

"Thank you to the Executive Committee and the Senate for their trust in me," his face showed innocent excitement, "and thank you for your ...... of course."

"No, this matter has nothing to do with me," Ming Lang quickly denied, "We handled it according to the organizational process. ”

"Yes, yes." Jiang Shan said another compliment, and unconsciously brought the relationship between the two a lot closer. It can be seen that this person has put some effort into Minglang - he has inquired about the situation in his family clearly.

"Where, where, you have a good reputation," Minglang nodded and smiled politely, I have seen a lot of people like you: it seems that you get along very well, but in fact, the "belly" is very deep. "Of course, there is a seven-day publicity period for your appointment. However, since the appointment has been approved by the Senate, the announcement is basically a formality. ”

A few hours later, Jiang Shan arrived at his office. The Foreign Intelligence Service (FIA) is a very chilling organization -- in the past, the so-called Intelligence Committee was actually only a liaison meeting body, and personnel from various foreign outlets regularly sent people to participate in exchanges and summaries. Most of the transactional work is carried out by the General Administration of Political Security. Now that a separate department has been established, all the personnel of the other agencies have been withdrawn. Jiang Shan became a bare-bones commander.

The Foreign Intelligence Service did not even have its own separate compound, he was given only a small two-story building. The room was filled with boxes of documents handed over from other departments, with seals attached to them. The most confidential part hadn't been delivered yet, and he needed to go to the various departments to retrieve it later.

Jiang Shan picked an office, and he thought that he had this power as the executive deputy director. The office was located at the bottom of the corridor on the second floor, and the location was ideal, but it was a little larger, and he thought that he could separate another conference room and call people for a meeting.

There is only a standard desk and a chair in this office, which is standard, and if he needs to "upgrade the configuration", he has to open his own bill and apply to the office.

Now he is not in a hurry to buy a guy, Jiang Shan thought, the office will help him solve the tables, chairs and furniture in the office, and the first thing he needs to consider is manpower and organization. As the famous saying goes, "The main thing about work is the personnel arrangement".

Jiang Shan has never done intelligence work, but everyone here is self-made, starting from scratch, not to mention that there is a powerful database for him to refer to, no matter how it is configured, it will not be worse than this time and space.

He straightened out his thoughts and spread out a blank sheet of paper on the table. To do something, the first thing is to know where your goals and positioning are. Intelligence is a powerful department, an important component of a regime, but its position within the "important" government can be large or small.

Leaving aside giants such as the CIA, the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Red Army, and MI5, where is the position of the foreign intelligence agencies of the Lingao regime? Or rather, where is the future "enemy"?

Jiang Shan knows very well that there are no friends in intelligence work, and it is not uncommon for "friends" to plant spies among each other in this industry, needless to say that the French, who are the first and second ends of the goods, are the hardcore allies of the Yankees, and the most loyal British maids will not give up on arranging intelligence personnel in the United States.

Who is the enemy of the Crossing Group? He first drew a flag on the white paper, on which was written "Ming", which was the Ming Dynasty; Then he drew several iron anchors and wrote "Liu", "Zheng", and "Li" with arrows; The third is a braided head - this is Houjin; Then he drew several three-masted ships with different flags: British, Spanish and Dutch. After thinking for a moment, he painted a minority-style crown, which is the local Li and Miao people.

The first is the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt that although the Ming Dynasty is weak, it is still the number one opponent and the most dangerous opponent of the crossing group in terms of territory, population and economic strength. If the Ming Dynasty wants to get serious and deal with the Lingao regime with the importance of dealing with Houjin, they will face a great crisis.

Fortunately, the internal turmoil of the Ming Dynasty is very serious, its energy is mainly consumed in internal friction, coupled with the tragic financial situation, unless Chongzhen directly focuses on the Hainan battlefield, they will not face much challenge.

Since Daming is the main source of population and materials of the Crossing Group, and is also the key target of the Crossing Group's invasion, Daming is obviously the key intelligence work object of the Crossing Group. He drew a "1" on the Ming Dynasty.

There was already a considerable foundation for the intelligence work of the Ming Dynasty, especially the work of the Guangzhou and Leizhou stations. The Guangzhou station mastered the central activities of the whole province of Guangdong, while the Leizhou station provided the possibility of early warning for a large-scale land and sea attack launched by the Ming Dynasty against Lingao.

It's a pity that there is still a commercial sector behind the two stations of Guangzhou and Leizhou. Judging by the meaning of the Executive Committee, the two stations will continue to focus on trade rather than intelligence work.

However, their presence provided a very good basis for intelligence work, and the Guangzhou station was very effective in infiltrating the center of Guangdong, and gradually infiltrated many areas of Guangdong and neighboring provinces by controlling the Qiwei Bureau. With their support, the infiltration of intelligence agents can go deeper.

Houjin, they don't have any stake in the crossing group now. After Li Luo's arrival, Houjin may become a trading partner of the Crossing Group, but that's all. Houjin was regarded as a border trouble by the Ming Dynasty, but it was not worth mentioning to Lingao. This regime is a small local regime built on extreme oppression at home and a bandit style that relies on robbery externally. In the near future, it does not threaten the Crossing Syndicate. The long-term crossing group is only a gesture to destroy it. Intelligence activities on Houjin can be placed in zuihou. He wrote a "5".

The pirate and maritime merchants of the South China coast, represented by "Liu", "Zheng" and "Li", are now reaching the apex of their shili. Zheng Zhilong's wealth is the biggest threat to the crossing group at sea, but fortunately, with Li Kuiqi to contain him, he will not pose any threat to the crossing group for the time being, and can only be regarded as a potential threat.

Liu Xiang is the most direct maritime threat to the Crossing Group. Moreover, he colluded with the Spaniards and had already made a move against Lingao and suffered losses. It is not an exaggeration to say that he holds a grudge.

Jiang Shan drew a "2" on the word "Liu".

Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom. These four are the main alien liliang in the seas of East and Southeast Asia. The British, who were the smallest in Southeast Asia, owned trading houses only in India and Siam, were not very powerful, and had already formed trade links with the Crossing Group. Not a priority for the time being.

The Spaniards and the Portuguese were under the banner of a king, but they had different plans in the same bed. Their shili on the coast of China is neither big nor ambitious. I just want to keep my shili. There won't be much of a threat to the Crossing Group. The Crossing Group did not want to capture Macau or Manila for the time being, the former being the gateway to Europe in China, and the latter being a transit point for silver imports, and the Senate thought it would be better to let them continue to exist for the time being.

According to Jiangshan, the Dutch are the most dangerous of the four foreign shili, not only because they are the strongest shili in Southeast Asia, but also because they are the most active and aggressive. If the Spanish conquest of China was a dream, the Dutch really thought about it. He knew that in 1622 the Dutch had launched an expedition to the Chinese coast, with the real aim of occupying colonies along the Chinese coast. It was only later that China was found to be too large to achieve this goal, so it retreated from Penghu and went to Taiwan.

As for the Li and Miao people on the island, the country is placed in Zuihou: their strength is limited, and they already have two corresponding departments in charge, whether it is the Religious Affairs Office or the Li and Miao Affairs Office, they have done a lot of work on the Li and Miao people. There is no need to intervene again, at most just do intelligence aggregation and analysis.

Once the order had been sorted out, he began to write the composition of the organization, which was to be reported to the organization office for review tomorrow. After careful consideration, Jiang Shan decided to first set up an intelligence analysis department -- intelligence work is first and foremost an analysis of open intelligence, and this is no different from that of the 17th century in the 21st century. Most of the information is available from open sources. The crossing group also did not need to know the emperor's approval. In the state of productivity in ancient times, any action of the government could quickly be seen in the functioning of the bureaucracy.

There are a total of five offices in the plan submitted by Zuihou: the first is the domestic department, which is responsible for the Ming government; the second - Overseas Division, for Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom, to be added later if necessary; The third division is responsible for various shili that are not classified, and at this stage it is mainly aimed at pirate and maritime merchants along the coast of China, but also includes shili such as Li Zicheng in the future; The Intelligence Analysis Division, which is responsible for analyzing and summarizing the collected information; The Support Division is responsible for providing various types of support for intelligence activities.

A separate office has been established to be responsible for all administrative personnel and archival work, as well as coordination. Considering the existence of a cross-organizational organization like Guangzhou Leizhou, the cross-departmental coordination work will certainly be very onerous.

His organizational plan was quickly approved, with the exception of the Support Branch. The Executive Committee believes that the Foreign Intelligence Bureau can rely on the support of other departments to carry out its activities, for example, in Daming, it can rely on the Ministry of Commerce, and if it wants to use force, it can call in a special investigation team. Jiang Shan knew that there was no need to argue on this issue. In the past, there were too many veterans who did not have positions, but now there are obviously too few.

He recruited the first patriarch. This person's name is Wang Ding. It seems to be to contrast with him, this person is 30 years old, about 1.6 meters tall, and has a public face that cannot be found when thrown into the crowd, but Jiang Shan feels that this person has the advantage of engaging in intelligence work - first, he doesn't like to talk, and second, his face is not eye-catching.

And he also worked as a handyman in a powerful department, and he had never eaten pork and seen pigs run, so when it came to intelligence analysis, he had his own opinions.

Wang Ding was not famous in Lingao, and when he saw that Chang Shide was getting mixed up after being sent abroad, he started the idea of becoming an expatriate intelligence officer.

"I think you'd better stay in the agency and be the director of the Intelligence Analysis Division." Jiangshan said to him.

"But I would rather go to an expatriate assignment and go to places like Jiangnan to serve the organization......" Wang Ding had already had this intention. He went to Jiangnan to make a small business as an intelligence station, and then did silk tea and the like - he knew these things about Jiangnan's specialties. Qin Huai Bayan's worth is too high to ask, and it is still possible for Suzhou and Hangzhou Jiali to be a few little wives.

"Hehe," Jiang Shan ruthlessly broke his dream, "Do you think the people in the executive committee don't know?" You see, the people who can be sent to Jiangnan must be people who want to make money and carry intelligence. Do you think I'll choose you? ”

Of course not, it's something you can't even think about. Wang Ding's self-knowledge is still there.

"If you insist on being sent abroad, it is more likely that you will be sent to Shaanxi or Liaodong."

"Forget it, I'll be the head of this department." Wang Ding immediately stopped insisting on his request for expatriation. He scratched his head, "I also did intelligence analysis back then, and I am half a professional." ”

"That's right, let's be honest: what's so good about being expatriate? It's not a good thing to be detached from the core. ”

"Okay, okay, I resolutely obey the organization's arrangement." Wang Ding said, "Tell me, what is the first thing our team did?" ”

"Of course, we have to find someone to be the director and the chief of staff, otherwise it won't work." Jiang Shan said, "But this is a later story, let's talk about how to carry out intelligence work first." ”

"I'm in charge of intelligence analysis ......"

"Come on, we're not the CIA here, and the rules are clearly separated. Now I'm the only one on my staff. He pulled out a silver cigarette case, "Smoke a cigarette, huh?" ”

"Okay." Wang Ding knew at a glance that this was not a local cigarette from Lingao, but a cigarette from the old time and space, and the cigarettes brought by private individuals had basically been exhausted in two years, and some American cigarettes were recently distributed after salvaging the shipwreck.

However, when he looked closely, it was a "China", and he was taken aback. The preciousness of a Chinese cigarette is far higher than that of a set

"You still have China?"

"Yes, I brought some stock, and it's in good condition. You smoke it. Jiang Shan said, took a pack of matches, and lit a fire for him.

Wang Ding was caught off guard, and quickly caught fire and took a sip, then slowly took a deep breath and spit it out.

"It's so cool, a real taste of the old plane." Wang Ding said with a nostalgic look.

"Alright, tell me what you think." Jiang Shan put the cigarette case back in his pocket - in fact, he didn't smoke at all, and the purpose of bringing the cigarette roll was nothing more than public relations.

"Our intelligence work must be a vassal of trade activities at this stage. I think we should have a clear understanding of this. Wang Ding said, "In this regard, we must first correct our position." ”
