After Wang Erbiao left, Li Zhigao looked at Zhou Zhengbin again, and after looking at it for five seconds, he suddenly said: "Zhou Zhengbin!" ”

"Humble duty!" Zhou Zhengbin immediately raised his head and chested.

"Don't be nervous." Seeing Zhou Zhengbin's appearance, Li Zhigao smiled with satisfaction, walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job in this operation, if it weren't for your intelligence, they would definitely not have gone so smoothly." ”

"It's all led by adults."

"Don't mention flattery." Li Zhigao said, "To put it bluntly, I want to establish a secret intelligence organization, well, that is, an organization like a secret agent, usually responsible for spying on information, arresting spies and other things, the name is called the Security Bureau, I want you to be the director of this bureau first, what do you think?" ”

"This ...... I am afraid that my ability will be insufficient, and I will delay the affairs of adults. ”

"Whether you are capable or not, you have to do it to know." Li Zhigao smiled, turned around and took out a book from a cabinet, and handed it to Zhou Zhengbin, "Oh, take this book back and take a good look, how to establish an intelligence organization, and how to develop the organization." After you go back and read it, you can draw up a charter for me based on your own experience. ”

"This ...... Be. Zhou Zhengbin nodded, went up a few steps and took the book, and it was a white paper with the words "Organization and Application of Intelligence Agencies".

In fact, this book, strictly speaking, is just a pamphlet, which Li Zhigao copied the development history and organizational structure of world-famous intelligence organizations such as the KGB, the Military Command, and the Central Intelligence Agency in later generations, and then made certain revisions, removed sensitive places, and then translated them into traditional Chinese characters and printed them out, and the printed things were bound into a book, which became this kind of white paper.

The white paper has a very detailed explanation of the establishment of intelligence organizations and how to use them, and there are also many "virtual cases", which have great reference value. After reading this book, even if you don't know anything about intelligence work, you will have a clear outline of how to build an intelligence organization. As for how to train agents, how to develop downline, how to penetrate others, how to interrogate prisoners, and other specific application skills, the book also provides many clear methods, which are enough for him to study slowly.

I believe that as long as you read this book thoroughly, combined with Zhou Zhengbin's own life experience, and Li Zhigao's strong support, it is difficult to say anything else, it is still very easy to get a simple intelligence agency, at least, Li Zhigao feels that no matter how bad it is, it should be easier than the original military command, after all, the military command was also established from scratch, and there is no experience to learn at all.

"After the research, if you have any thoughts or questions, you can ask me directly." Li Zhigao smiled slightly, "When you understand it all, you can write me a more satisfactory charter, and you can officially prepare for the new yamen of the Security Bureau." ”

"Humble duty understood." Zhou Zhengbin's eyes lit up, isn't this a proper brocade guard, "Then my lord, will this security bureau's yamen be responsible for you alone in the future?" ”

"That's right." Li Zhigao nodded with a smile, "Once this security bureau is established, you will only be responsible for me in the future, and no one else will be able to control you." Of course, you can't be too arrogant, you have to keep a low profile. In case you get angry with people in the future, I can't protect you, do you understand what I said? ”

"Humble duty understands."

"Hmm." Seeing that he was very good, Li Zhigao took out a silver ticket of 5,000 taels and handed it to him, "You take this silver ticket, and use it as a bonus for this operation, and go back to reunite your family." ”

"Yes...... Yes? Five thousand taels! After seeing this number, Zhou Zhengbin was also taken aback, "This, my lord, I can't help it, I can't help it, it's too much!" ”

"Not much." Li Zhigao smiled, "Without your intelligence, my special operations team would not be able to play a role at all, and you and your relatives have contributed the most in this operation, but I can't just say it explicitly." Anyway, you can take this money, but you have to remember that your position is very special, follow me, I will never treat you badly, but if you dare to take people's money privately in the future, no matter how much you take, even if it is one or two silver, I will get rid of you immediately, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, clearly, understood!" I don't know if it's true or false, in short, Zhou Zhengbin seems to be a little trembling, and he lowered his head and said, "After being humiliated, you must clean yourself up, and you shouldn't take any points that you shouldn't take, everything is only the head of the adult!" ”

"Good." Li Zhigao nodded with satisfaction, "If there's nothing to do, let's go down first, let you go for three, no, five days off, and go back to reunite with your family." Also, read more of the books I gave you when you have time, and come back in five days to tell me what you think. When the time comes, if you have any ideas, make a charter and show it to me, and if it is suitable, I will arrange an office space for you, buy things, and announce your position to everyone, so that you can officially make this yamen. ”

"Yes, my lord, I will study it carefully when I go back."

"Hmm."

Seeing that Li Zhigao didn't say anything, Zhou Zhengbin whispered again, "Then, I'll go down first?" ”

"Go ahead." Li Zhigao nodded with a smile.

"Yes." Zhou Zhengbin bowed again, then carefully took the book and the silver ticket, bowed his head and slowly walked backwards.

After Zhou Zhengbin left, Li Zhigao still did not walk away immediately, but returned to the sofa and sat down, slowly thinking about his thoughts.

The secret service must be established, Li Zhigao has thought about this for a long time, but at the beginning, even if Li Zhigao has a lot of information from later generations to learn from, and there is no shortage of money, but because this department has a certain special surname, the most important thing is not money and skills, but candidates.

In other words, you must choose the right person, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, so although Li Zhigao has long had this idea, but at the beginning there were not many suitable people under him, and it was not until now that he finally found a barely qualified, although he was not very satisfied, but after all, time was running out, so he made up his mind to let Zhou Zhengbin give it a try for the time being.

Zhou Zhengbin is actually a character that Li Zhigao picked out after a lot of time, and the reason why he was chosen is because this person's previous experience and recent performance are more suitable for the spy leader, as for why it is suitable, it is very simple, because this person is good, educated, not pedantic, and very knowledgeable about current affairs.

As mentioned above, Zhou Zhengbin was originally a patrol chief in the police team of the old patrol battalion of Taiping Mansion, and he was a junior officer at the level of a police captain. However, although his official rank is not high, he has a lot of prestige among the crowd, and the reason why this is so is said to be because he is more guarded, only taking what he deserves, and rarely takes the initiative to eat and take cards to blackmail the people.

In other words, although he cannot be said to be as incorruptible as water, he is a rare person who pays more attention to personal restraint, which may have something to do with his family education, because his ancestors have always been scholars.

Although he was born in a scholarly family, but by the time Zhou Zhengbin's generation has long since declined, he can go to the patrol battalion to be a policeman for a living, which itself is a manifestation of not being pedantic and knowing current affairs, you must know that being a policeman is much more oil and water than being a teacher, and he can also enter the system, use the umbrella of the police, and protect his family and relatives from being bullied, which is the real reason why he entered the patrol camp as a scholar and became a policeman.

After the original patrol battalion was destroyed, because Li Zhigao was mainly secretive at that time and acted more eagerly, those who were still alive in the patrol battalion were taken as prisoners to mine, and a few copies were unlikely to be released, so that the outside world would think that they were all killed by the "revolutionary rebels".

But most of the officers and soldiers of those patrol battalions are locals, they have died and disappeared, and there are still many family members, and these people cannot be simply ignored, after all, they are also a very large group, so someone needs someone to appease them, give an explanation to the outside world, and make outsiders believe that the patrol battalion was killed by the revolutionary party, and Li Zhigao and they are the rescuers. However, in this case, Li Zhigao alone can't say it himself, and he has to let the patrol battalion's own people say it, and only if their own people also have a unified voice, others will believe it.

The best in this regard is undoubtedly this Zhou Zhengbin.

At that time, Zhou Zhengbin not only took refuge in himself very well and took the initiative to explain the problem, but also took the initiative to help come forward to appease the people and help himself to lie, saying that many of those colleagues were indeed bewitched by the revolutionary party, and this time they were indeed harmed by the revolutionary party.

Since then, Zhou Zhengbin has been in Li Zhigao's eyes, but he still needs to be tested. This trip to Shanghai is actually a test for him, but he didn't expect that he really has relatives in Shanghai, and he is more familiar with the situation in Shanghai, in other words, even if he doesn't have relatives in Shanghai, he will be sent to follow.

Guarded, educated, not pedantic, aware of current affairs, and able to lie, isn't such a person the intelligence chief that Li Zhigao needs most?

Because of this, after this trip to Shanghai, Li Zhigao officially planned to accept Zhou Zhengbin into his inner circle and make him one of the future intelligence chiefs.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Zhigao to put all his eggs in one basket when doing things, and history has proved that the secret service must never have only one agency, but must establish several more institutions, and then disperse the power and let each other check each other, so that it is the safest for the higher-ups.

For example, his special forces, in fact, are secret forces that only obey his own orders, even if his career grows in the future, he will not hand over this secret force to others to command, in a way, his special forces, which can already be regarded as a private special forces, can ignore all laws and morals, and serve him alone, is the most powerful knife in his hand.

In other words, in Li Zhigao's plan, the Security Bureau is an intelligence organization that is only responsible for itself, its own eyes and ears, although it has the right to investigate and arrest, but it does not have the right to judge, and the power of trial is still in its own hands, which is somewhat similar to a military command.

Naturally, even if it is only an intelligence organization, it is impossible for the Security Bureau to dominate alone, and it is necessary to establish a separate intelligence organization to restrain each other, and establish an agency similar to the Central Union, and this organization, Li Zhigao also has a plan, and the name of this agency is the "Internal Investigation Bureau".

It should be said that the history of the Internal Investigation Bureau is even earlier than that of the Security Bureau, because the predecessor of this department was the intelligence network first established by Li Zhigao, but it was not deliberate at that time.

Long before Li Zhigao planned to set up the Security Bureau, he actually had a relatively rudimentary intelligence system, which had no official name or organization at that time, only a relatively general intelligence network, and the person in charge of this intelligence network was Sun Shun beside him.

In summary, the establishment of this intelligence network has to start with the connection with the prefect Wang Yongni.

At the beginning, in order to eliminate the patrol battalion, it was necessary to have a communication bridge with the prefect and others, so Sun Shun was sent over as a liaison. The reason why Sun Shun was chosen at that time was because Li Zhigao did not have many available manpower at that time, and Sun Shun was a family member that Li Zhigao was more familiar with, and he seemed to be loyal, more literate, and had a lively brain, so he was the best candidate at that time.

Later, the patrol battalion was destroyed, and Sun Shun also returned, but the secret intelligence network that he had bought with money to uphold Li Zhigao's will, that is, the intelligence network composed of those subordinates in Wang Yongni's mansion, had not disappeared, so he simply left Sun Shun in the city and let him continue to manage that intelligence line.

Therefore, the reason why Wang Yongni's later every move made Li Zhigao grasp so clearly is because almost all the subordinates in Wang Yongni's mansion were bought by Sun Shun, and this matter is not difficult, after all, Wang Yongni was appointed by an outsider in the final analysis, and there were not many people around him when he came, so it was too simple to spend money to buy his subordinates to get some news.

From that time, Li Zhigao could see that although Sun Shun didn't have much ability, he had always been very loyal, and he could do everything he gave him, so he simply promoted him and became the acting manager of the old boutique house in Taiping Mansion, and became the housekeeper of the old boutique house, as for the original manager of the old boutique house, that is, Liu Runsheng's wife Zhang, for the sake of safety, he had already moved to Chenjiazhuang villa with his mother-in-law's family.

At least so far, Sun Shun has done a good job, not only the management of the boutique house is good, the construction of the intelligence network has also been very stable, and there has been a relatively large development, basically in the various yamen of the Taiping Mansion, there are people who report to Sun Shun, and Sun Shun has also listed every expenditure on communicating with people, which can be inquired by Li Zhigao at any time, and it seems that he does not seem to be benefiting from the intelligence fee given by Li Zhigao.

But Li Zhigao knows very well that it's not that Sun Shun doesn't want to take advantage, it's really that he doesn't dare, after all, he has just gotten this new position, and his position is not stable, plus he knows very well how everything about him came from, so he cherishes and cares about it.

Because Sun Shun knew very well that he didn't have a particularly great talent, but it was only because of luck that he was appreciated by Li Zhigao, and as Li Zhigao's power became bigger and bigger, others, especially the family members who were selected together at the beginning, didn't know how jealous they were against him, and they were staring at him, waiting for him to make a mistake to replace him.

In this case, if he does not do well, something goes wrong, and he loses Li Zhigao's trust, then the end will definitely be miserable. That's why he worked hard to do his part, because only in this way can there be a greater way out in the future.

In any case, Sun Shun did a good job, so Li Zhigao decided to set up a security bureau at the same time, but also wanted to form Sun Shun's intelligence network into an internal investigation bureau, and the two agencies would not be subordinate to each other in the future, but they would be directly responsible for themselves.

From this point of view, it is estimated that the Security Bureau will be mainly external, focusing on the military aspect, similar to the military command or the CIA, while the Internal Investigation Bureau will mainly be internal, mainly supervising matters in its own field, such as supervising officials and helping to investigate cases, similar to the FBI. The focus of the two will be different, and the intelligence network will have its own reading ability, but it is also possible to cross-share intelligence information when necessary.

Li Zhigao had already mentioned these things to Sun Shun, and he had already given him the same white paper, so I don't know how he is learning now.

"Sun Shun, how many books have you read and how many experiences have you learned?"

"This, I have some experience." Sun Shun replied cautiously.

"What's your experience? Let's hear it. ”

"This ...... Back to the master's words. Sun Shun continued to be cautious, "There are too many things in the book given by the master, and I can't understand them all thoroughly for a while, in short, I just think that the key to engaging in intelligence work in the future is two points." ”

"Two points? Which two points? ”

"The first point is that there must be absolute trust, which means that you must trust me, and the second point is that you must have enough money, and only if you have enough money can you buy enough informants and establish an intelligence network."

"It's nice to think of those two." Li Zhigao smiled, "Well, yes, it seems that it's time for you to establish a yamen on your own and become the head of the department, how about it, do you have the confidence to be the director of the Internal Investigation Bureau?" ”

"I'll do whatever my lord tells me to do." Sun Shun hurriedly lowered his head, hiding the excitement in his eyes, and whispered as always, "Since the master trusts the slave, I will do my best to do my best to be the eyes and ears of the master." ”

"Good." Li Zhigao patted Sun Shun on the shoulder, "In the future, even if this boutique house is your yamen, you will think about it carefully after you go down, and draw up a specific charter for me to see, such as getting out the organization department or something, and making it more formal, and also, you are my person, and when you go out in the future, you will represent me, don't bow your head in front of others, don't give me a job, understand?" ”

"Yes, sir." Sun Shun continued to lower his head and said softly carefully, "Master, don't worry, from now on, the villain will only bow his head to you, and promise not to bow his head, not to bend down, and never lose his lord's face!" ”
