705 Qin's Intelligence Reform
Li Mu thought so. But their subordinates don't think so. On the contrary, they believe that Li Mu should be, and is absolutely qualified to be elected prime minister. Especially Li Mu's qualifications. This point is incomparable to Zhao's domestic politicians. Moreover, after the military comes to power, it can well safeguard the interests of the military, and at the same time, it can also promote the welfare of the military family. This mutual relationship made the military anxious to participate in the political elections. They also want to improve the status of military personnel through political elections.
In Zhao State, there has always been a vague concern about the participation of soldiers in the election, and the status of soldiers has an incomparable advantage in Zhao State, and the crowd of people who join the army is aimed at most people. If the military participates in the election, it is easy to get the majority of the vote. The Zhao people were born with a martial spirit. This spirit gives the military an advantage in momentum before the election.
Although the power of the domestic miners in Zhao has risen rapidly. But they lacked roots, and they needed to trade money and power to reach a network of mutual use and protection, which relied heavily on Zhao's civil service. Military participation in political management is relatively low. Moreover, the state of Zhao did not obtain the fruits of great victories through the war to digest, such an idea about the colony. Although it was mentioned in unofficial documents. But Qin did not give a clear answer, especially when the war was not yet fully over. Therefore, Qin State clearly rejected it on this ground. In this way, Zhao did not get great benefits in a short period of time in foreign wars.
Moreover, the mine owners had close contacts with the nobles who held real power, which caused most of Zhao's financial support to be transferred to civilian officials. Military personnel, on the other hand, have only a small amount of financial support. At this point. It is true that the momentum of the military is inferior to the financial power. However, behind these funds, Qin's banking and financial industry was also slowly involved.
In particular, Guo Kai's election funds were not only supported by the mine owners who had a close relationship with him, but also by the Qinguo Bank. Especially loans. The bankers of the Qin State believed that Li Mu was a professional soldier. This nature of the profession dictates that there are few advantages to participating in elections. This is a political game, not a military game. They believe that on the contrary, Guo Kai, who is similar to a scoundrel, has some hope. And Guo Kai can talk about conditions. And the military is not good at negotiating conditions.
Like what. The bankers gave 200,000 gold in election funds, and if, after Guo Kai was elected, Guo Kai would promise to give some actual preferential treatment to the banking industry in Qin, which was that Zhao Guo could not have a large banking system. Only small banks can be left. This meant that Zhao's entire financial system was to be controlled and monopolized by Qin's bankers.
Compared with Qin's business connections, Qin's top brass began to pay attention to Zhao's election.
King Qin believed that this was the best entry point to meddle in the political situation of Zhao State. Those who hold this view are not a minority in the Qin State. But how to do it specifically. At this point, Qin was a little dazed. Especially their intelligence system. There is no telling of the fact that business has been involved. This was a bit confusing for the intelligence system of the Qin State. Due to these chaos, the top of the Qin State was unable to make the right choice for the time being.
However, the newly appointed director of the Intelligence Planning Bureau, Feng Zao, is carrying out several major reforms to Qin's intelligence system. First of all, Qin's intelligence personnel began to set up a network-like intelligence system. This system required the Qin State to divide the six kingdoms into several major regions, and the specific division was according to the political region. That is to say, for the time being, it is divided into seven according to the country, and one of them is specifically treated. For example, small countries such as Weiguo are also divided into this independent region. In this area, the Qin State divided several intelligence war points according to the transportation system. Then several sub-stations were divided. In this way, the intelligence system can be regarded as a preliminary establishment.
In order to integrate this complex intelligence system. Qin's intelligence system required a variety of intelligence agents throughout the entire region. Some are journalists, while others are covered by shops and business people. At the same time, there are also some important trade transactions involved in these businesses, and these trade transactions are weapons.
Second, Qin was joining a new network of science and technology as an exchange network for intelligence officers. This technology is radio technology. And Qin's radio stations were divided according to the level of the intelligence network.
As for the use of radio stations, the Qin military has purchased a number of experimental radio stations to equip the troops. and the preparation of special communication units as a supplementary unit for cable telegraphs. This shows that the power of the radio station at this time is not very large. Although there were twin transistors in Qin, there was still a big difference between them and high-power radios. In particular, some wireless media technologies in the Qin State have only been popularized in one area of Guanzhong. The electronics industry wants to develop rapidly. Demand must be strong.
For the radio station, Qin's intelligence personnel obviously have a unique sensitivity, you must know that there is no cable telegram at the end of Qin's intelligence to convey information in a timely manner. At this time, for the Qin State, radio technology played a decisive role in the transmission of information to the Qin State, although it was not yet stable, but it must be much faster than the traditional transmission of intelligence.
It is worth mentioning that the Qin State finally attached importance to the intelligence code, especially the importance of the telegraph code, because when the Qin State intercepted the contact between the Korean army in the Western Regions and the Korean mainland, it was translated according to the code book provided by the Qin State, and it turned out to be a completely incomprehensible language. There are many such telegrams. So the Qin State began to organize forces to conduct research, but it was not easy to crack a code, and it was the first time to crack the code. However, inspired by Korea, Qin himself adopted a new codebook. The cipher used by the Qin State was the same as that of Korea, which was simply a simple addition cipher. This password is extremely easy to crack. Because Qin State has already reversed the Korean codebook according to his own idea of compiling the code. But there are as many as 30,000 Chinese characters. And there is a tendency to increase, and it is quite difficult to crack.
Finally, Qin's intelligence system conducted a preliminary analysis of intelligence gathering. Then it will be processed, and various reports will be submitted and compiled according to the direction and urgency of the matter for high-level use. The analysis of the intelligence system has been joined by a lot of sensitive women, and these women have a lot of business analysis skills before. In particular, the ability to observe the market. This is a great ingenuity of Feng Zai, in his opinion, only by being able to analyze the market, then he will also have the ability to analyze the decisive role of intelligence in action.
