Chapter 367: Imperial Overseas Intelligence and Information Department
King Zhang Anguo and his son also discussed some new policies towards the Great Song government.
These new policies are based on detailed and truthful evidence.
The basis for that was provided by a nondescript branch of the Federal Imperial Ministry of Communications and Communications, whose full name was the Imperial Overseas Intelligence and Information Department, numbered no more than a hundred.
It seems to be under the management of the Federal Imperial Ministry of Communications and Communications, but in fact it is only responsible to King Zhang Anguo, and the intelligence information they collect is completely handed over to the king for review after collation, and has nothing to do with other departments.
The processing and production capacity of the cable telegraph and magnet telephone system equipment of the Federal Empire has been greatly increased, which can not only meet the installation and use of the Federal Empire, but also provide it to the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo and Japan.
Of course, with the improvement of production and processing capacity and the increase of business and technical personnel, the price of installing and using these communication equipment has gradually become cheaper, and it can not only provide telephone services for high-ranking officials and magnates in various countries, but also provide it for some large businessmen.
The cable telegraph service in the Great Song Dynasty has also been able to be cheaper than a penny.
The cable telegraph service in Japan and Korea was still costly because it was newly erected and installed, and it still cost two pennies a word.
The magnet telephone has slowly moved from the offices or homes of high-ranking officials to middle- and low-level officials, and even the shops or families of some large businessmen.
On the main island of the Federal Empire, the telephone number in the Badaohe region has reached five digits, and the other nine cities have four digits.
The Great Song Dynasty's new Bianjing, Hangzhou, Thornton City and Guangzhou City also reached four figures.
In the big cities of Korea and Japan, it is enough to still have three digits for the time being.
These two emerging communications industries already have nearly 100,000 employees, and the gender ratio is the most evenly proportioned, almost evenly divided.
Whether it is in the Federal Empire itself or in the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo and Japan, the people in this industry, even if they are only responsible for line maintenance, are highly regarded, and too many people still don't understand how the copper wires can transmit letters and sounds?!
Therefore, the average person has more respect for those telegraph operators and operators, and thinks that they are people who have mastered their skills.
At the beginning, the Great Song Dynasty, the Goryeo Kingdom, and the Japanese Kingdom purchased equipment and systems from the Federal Empire, but this alone was not enough, and it was necessary to provide them with training of technicians, especially operators and telegraph operators.
At this time, the Imperial Overseas Intelligence and Information Department will be very useful, they will carefully teach those young men and women sent by the other party, so that they can become qualified telegraph operators and operators as soon as possible------ at the same time, through certain means, to win over or transform the outstanding personnel, let them act as the "tailwind ears" in the cable telegraph and magnet telephone system, and then arrange some personnel who are specifically responsible for transmitting intelligence------- in this way, the Imperial Overseas Intelligence and Information Department slowly established a set of targeted monitoring Skynet.
Until now, some key figures in the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo Kingdom, and Japan had not realized that they could be spied on.
Yes, the copper wires wrapped in the rubber skin of Eucommia ulmoides, outsiders will never be able to eavesdrop on what they see!
In this way, the size of the personnel of the Imperial Overseas Intelligence and Information Department grew from a dozen to hundreds little by little, and the intelligence information went from rough to detailed.
King Zhang Anguo knew that Zhao Xian, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, had called his secretary Lang Fashan and asked him to buy a few more sets of manga serials that had just been published on the island, especially "One Piece"!
Hehe, of course, it's a modified "One Piece", filled with some stories of the overseas territories of the Federal Empire, such as Liberty Island, Nanyin Di'anzhou, and those pyramids in Egypt------ King Zhang An originally wanted to use it to instill some ideas in the children of the Federal Empire, such as the Great Voyage will bring many interesting stories, will make you make many friends, and will bring a lot of wealth.
But he didn't expect that the modified "One Piece" would fascinate many half-sized children, and even some adults like to watch it!
On the contrary, such as "Journey to the West" and "Daddy and Son", the response is mediocre.
No one thought that this comic has also become a new industry for some down-and-out painters, and there are many works that follow the trend.
In fact, none of this is important, if it can really be loved by the small officials of the Great Song Dynasty, it will have a huge effect.
Will comics subtly affect a person? Will you be able to ------
King Jang Anguo also knew that the king of Goryeo always wanted to take back the free trade zone at the mouth of the Yalu River, and he also wanted to cross the river and go north to occupy the land.
King Zhang Anguo also knew that Prince Weiyasu, the current seventh-generation general of Japan, had plans to go to Africa to capture labor and sell it to the Great Song Dynasty.
So far, the most important information that the Imperial Overseas Intelligence and Information Department has obtained is that some nobles in the Bo Ni Kingdom on the island of Borneo have a conspiracy to destroy the chicken!
They hated Jimi for being their king's son-in-law, and they had a very close official relationship with the Federal Empire.
They are not willing to let an outsider become an upstart who is more important than them in their circle.
However, one of their calls turned out to be the use of a magnet phone in the estuary area, where they openly talked about the plan to kill the chicken.
After King Zhang Anguo received the information, he immediately ordered someone to notify Jimi, so that he could do a good defense, and by the way, he took the opportunity to use the laws of the Boni Kingdom to get rid of several extreme opponents.
The usefulness of the Overseas Intelligence and Information Department is obvious.
King Zhang Anguo had to let them expand their size------ and the person in charge there was a person he had personally selected, Mei Lezhi, a calm and reliable house-keeper.
Therefore, King Zhang Anguo now has in his hands the basic information of the two factions that are fighting each other within the Great Song government.
Of course, he also has to show his son, at least have a basic understanding.
Second Lieutenant Zhang Zhansheng took a quick look, and the relationship between these officials was really complicated, which made people have a headache.
King Zhang Anguo said: "We will not immediately participate in their internal political struggle, you just have a simple understanding, you can meet with them, but don't take a position lightly, you let Uncle Hou talk about such things."
You know, if you can go there, you already represent the Federal Empire------"
Second Lieutenant Zhang Zhansheng felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, which was far heavier than his task of commanding a three-masted warship, and he must not have been happy with his teammates when dealing with the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
However, this is also the experience of life, maybe it is better to invest in it earlier than later.
"My son, don't be too nervous------ they are still a government that talks about common sense, and I greeted them in advance about you going to condole, Zhao Xian, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, personally sent Fashan to Hangzhou Port to meet you.
Don't look at his official position, he is now a celebrity around the official family------ hehe. ”
Thinking of the old classmate who always opposed him back then, Second Lieutenant Zhao Zhansheng couldn't help but smile.
Most of their junior high school students stayed on the main island of Liuqiu, either going to high school, going to work as a farmer, or as a politician, only Fashan was called back by his father.
I heard that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty missed him very much.
The father and son talked for a long time that night.
Early the next morning, Second Lieutenant Zhang Zhansheng and the condolence group went to Hangzhou Port, the largest passenger port along the Great Song Dynasty.
