The Stacy Institution, which later became famous and formidable in history, was born in Hersmann's residence in Berlin, in the apartment of Countess Heinsberg on Kurtmadstrasse.

Hersmann was a "houseless" in Berlin, occupying a very narrow north-facing window room in the dormitory of the Grand General Staff. And close to the sentry, every four hours there is the sound of the change of guard and the sound of leather boots slamming on the ground, which is very noisy. Hersman didn't like it very much, so after establishing a relationship with Chloe, he unceremoniously moved into her large house.

By March 1918, Hersman's sister Margaret Murphy. Feng. Hesmann came to Berlin with his stepmother again - it was the idea of the elder Hesmann, who was a battalion commander at the front, and the elder Hesmann wanted to give his daughter the opportunity to meet some unmarried officers of the Great General Staff...... Having witnessed too many young Germans killed or crippled on the front, the elder Hersmann feared that his young and beautiful daughter would become an old girl who could not marry.

But Hersman was so busy all day that he didn't bother to ask about his sister's marriage. So Margaret spends most of her time with her mother, Odeya. Mrs. Hersmann (whose surname was Hirschler and of Jewish descent) wandered around Berlin - she was saddened by the death of her son, who had a good relationship with her, whom she had brought up. But Hersmann's relationship with his stepmother was cold, and when she married the elder Hersman, who had just turned eight and was deeply immersed in the loss of his mother, he went to the junior class at the Grosslichfeld Military Academy a year later.

But deep down, Hersman had to admit that Odeya was a rather satisfying wife: both a seductive woman and a capable housewife. He had always wanted to find such a wife, and Chloe had clearly exceeded that request.

Margaret, who is only 17 years old this year, inherited her mother's beauty, with long wavy brown hair, a pair of charming brown eyes, and very beautiful facial features. She is also good at housework, can cook delicious meals, and can also make clothes.

When they're not wandering around Berlin, the mother and daughter spend their days cooking or cooking clothes in an apartment that surprises them (Odeja is Jewish, but her family is not wealthy, she is a peasant from Poznań).

On this day, when Hersmann returned to the apartment with Canaris, Luxembourg and a tall woman in a plain yellow-green dress, somewhat ordinary-looking, with a somewhat grim expression on her face. Margaret and Odeya happen to be at home to change their clothes - to enlarge a dress that belongs to Odea for Margaret. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the mother and daughter came out of their room together.

"Ludwig, you're back so early." Odeya greeted her stepson in a flattering tone. She wanted Hersmann to give up her family name and inheritance and join the noble Heinsberg family, and then ask Margaret to find another husband, but she couldn't speak......

Then she greeted Canaris and Rosenberg, and gave a few more glances at the baby-faced Rosenberg, who she and Margaret were very fond of, handsome and talented, and had a Ph.D. from Moscow University.

Finally, her gaze rested on the woman who had returned with Hersman. "This young lady is ......"

"Odeya, you and Margaret go out to dinner," Hersman did not answer his stepmother's words, but took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to the other party, "and then go to the movies, Alfred, you go with them." ”

"Yes, Major!" Alfred. Rosenberg stood upright, as if he had received an order, and then accompanied Odeya and Margaret mother and daughter out of the apartment.

"There must be dinner ready in the kitchen, let's talk while we eat." Hersman sent his stepmother and sister away, turned to the woman who was going home with her, and said, "Miss Doctor, what do you think?" ”

The woman Hirschman called "Miss Doctor" was named Ellsbet. Schlagmüller. She was an intelligence genius that Hersman had poached from Colonel Nikolai.

Not Marta. Harriet's kind of "glamorous spy" who relies on beauty in exchange for intelligence is not James. Superman like Bond. Rather, he is an expert in intelligence network management and intelligence analysis, as well as in the training of special agents. She is the "mother of agents" who has trained countless Stasy agents.

This twenty-seven-eighteen-year-old, somewhat cold-looking woman was a prodigy unearthed by Colonel Nikolai from the "Mail Inspectorate", and like Chloe, she had gone to college, was a graduate of economics, and spoke four languages. And she was also a fanatic, bent on joining the army, and also made an application to go to the front to fight, but it was not approved. However, when she became Colonel Nikolai's right-hand man, and presided over the Antwerp Intelligence Station and the Antwerp Espionage School, it was clear that her power was far greater than what she could do at the front.

However, in Hersmann's view, the status of "Miss Doctor" in the German intelligence system just shows that the German side has not paid enough attention to spies. There was no one available at the critical moment - three of Germany's most famous agents in the war, Baron. August. Schluga, a grandfather in his seventies (he died of illness in 1917), was an old spy left over from the Franco-Prussian War; Marta. Harriet (who was shot in 1917) was only gifted in stealing intelligence for Germany; And the third famous agent is "Miss Doctor" Elsbert. Schragmüller.

"Miss Doctor, I think you know the war is going to be won, right?" Hersman brought a potato salad, eggs, cold vegetables and bread from the kitchen, and freshly brewed coffee, and enjoyed them with the two super-spies, Schlagmüller and Canaris.

With the help of these two people, Hirschman's Stacy won't be able to open it!

"Yes, the war is going to be lost," said Schragmüller, grim and grim. "There's no one to save the big picture. Major, you can't ...... either"

Of course, she knew what Hersman had accomplished in Russia, but she didn't think he was a super spy, because he was doing politics rather than espionage in Russia.

"But we can prepare for victory in the next war." Hersman looked at Canaris and Schragmüller, "Espionage, like any other military operation, requires a long-term investment of energy and financial resources, and it cannot be thought of until war breaks out. If we're going to win the next war, it's time to start building a really useful, and massive spy agency. This organ is the Stasi-Polo National Security Agency! At the same time, it was the most important subordinate organ of the Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff and the secret police of the United Principalities of the Baltic. ”

"Secret police and espionage agencies in one?" Schragmüller seemed to be a little interested, "The agency will be very large, there will be thousands or even tens of thousands!" ”

"Yes, there will be more than 10,000 people working for Stacy in the future...... And that's just the full membership. ”

A simple military espionage agency can be relatively streamlined, but after integrating the functions of the secret police, the organization must be very large, otherwise it will not play a role at all.

"What about the money?" Schragmüller studied economics and began his thinking with money, "an institution of 10,000 people spends at least 30 million marks a year." ”

Hersman took out his notebook and pen and began to speak as he took notes: "There will be an appropriation...... The government of the United Principalities of the Baltic States will give money, but at most a million marks, and the rest will be raised through the Russian-German Economic Promotion Company. ”

"Self-funded? What does the Russian-German Economic Promotion Company do? Can you make that much money? ”

"It is engaged in Russian-German trade, and in the past less than a year, the net profit of this company has exceeded 80 million paper marks." Canaris said. "Now the company still has more than 7 million gold marks in cash! Tens of thousands of people are in the future, and for a short-term agency, this money is enough. ”

"That's enough!" Schragmüller frowned, "With the money, what about the personnel?" How to recruit and train? ”

Hersman said, "To open a school of espionage and secret police, doctor, you will be the headmaster." As for recruitment...... Stasi is going to set up a special personnel department. ”

Schragmüller looked at Hersman and was a little surprised, "The funds are self-funded, and the personnel are self-recruited...... Major, do you want to create an extremely independent spy and secret police service? ”
