In the early years, in order to obtain the navigation charts to the Far East, the Dutch sent a large number of spies to Madrid, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal.

If it weren't for the stolen charts, it is estimated that the 17th-century maritime hegemons would never have been the Dutch, and perhaps Spain would still sit firmly on the throne at sunset.

It's just that there are no assumptions, only results, the Dutch already have an idea of the expansion of the sea, and they will do whatever it takes to get what they want.

This spirit is actually worth learning for everyone who wants to succeed, but the means are a little bad, but the use of some means between countries is also inevitable, even in later generations, there are still technical leaks, so in the 17th century, don't think about anything about morality and righteousness.

When the Spaniards had already decided to steal the idea of making the steam engine from Australia, it had already been decided that it was impossible to go back, and there was no way back for them to go back, so they could only move forward.

Although the decline of an old empire will make him humble, it will also inspire the pride in his heart, which was once a proud strong man who stood at the top of the food chain, how could he always tolerate others riding on his head.

Even though relations between Australia and Spain have remained good, there is no long-term friendship or immediate interest between countries.

The Spaniards had been cooperating from the beginning of their plan to steal the drawings from Australia, but they were more covert and did not continue to send more spies into Australia like the Dutch, and the Spaniards were more patient.

It is said that in order to obtain drawings from Australia, they sent domestic experienced undercover personnel to Australia to live in Australia.

These experienced people are indeed difficult to deal with, and even the Department of Homeland Security will not be able to detect their existence for a while.

The steam engine manufacturing plant located in the western part of the Manchester Industrial Park has always been a military stronghold in Australia. There is a guard guard at the entrance here, which belongs to the national key protection enterprises all year round, and the relevant personnel who enter and exit must get the corresponding qualification review before entering.

Even in terms of recruitment, it is very strict, and in addition to the corresponding manufacturing experience required, external recruitment must also have settled in Australia for more than six months.

This is the rule of the steam factory, and it is also a requirement for the corresponding applicants, the steam engine factory has been in a prosperous state since the construction of the ship, and the machinery and equipment have not stopped, and the workers are working overtime.

One-third of the factory workers were imported from Europe, and the other two-thirds were trained from the Ming Dynasty or locally. So it's no surprise that you can see yellow-haired and blue-eyed Europeans here when they get off work.

Recruitment in Europe has always been very strict, because it involves technical secrecy, so each worker signs an agreement, and if the leak is found, the maximum will be the death penalty.

Therefore, there is a high level of work here, in fact, there is also a great risk, because if you accidentally leak secrets, you are likely to face legal sanctions, and you may also be kidnapped by spies.

But it's okay. Australia's law and order environment is better, this kind of thing has not happened, and Australia's strict household registration system ensures that everyone in the community is understood.

In fact, the staff of the community neighborhood committee sometimes inappropriately just acts as a confidant big sister. They also have another task of monitoring people in the community, of course, not really surveillance, but to see if anyone is wrong to go to the police station.

This is also one of the tasks of the staff of the neighborhood committee every day. Xiong Wei, a director of the Manchester City community, recently found that several European-American residents of his community often gather together and it was still dark. When there are no people on the street.

Something was wrong and caught his attention, and he felt that there must be some conspiracy among these people, and that every time they entered the house, they would extinguish the wait, which caught his attention even more.

He secretly observed that family, a Frenchman less than a year old, said to have a hand in the craft of forging, so he was hired by the steam engine factory, the owner is single, about fifty years old, and he is very kind on weekdays.

This is Xiong Wei's impression of him, no matter how you look at this person, he is an honest person, but this happened in his home, so he felt that something was wrong, and he should investigate it carefully.

I secretly followed the people who came to his house, and found that these people came from different countries, including the Netherlands and Spain, and their common characteristic was that they had immigrated for less than a year, and it stands to reason that they should not know each other, nor should they be very familiar, but they gathered together at night.

Xiong Wei felt that this matter was relatively big and not something he could manage, so he immediately reported it to the police department, and the leaders of the police station felt that this matter was wrong, and in order to avoid startling the snake, he reported the situation to the Department of Homeland Security.

Liu Yun attached great importance to this matter, and immediately set up a special action group, and took over all the information of this case, but in fact, there was no information, just a confession, Xiong Wei's confession to report the case.

But through this confession, Liu Yun saw the figure of the latent spy, which was the most successful latent incident he had encountered.

The identities of these people are not yet named, but there is one person whose identity is very special, that is, the smith in Lix is a worker in a steam engine factory, which is a key protected enterprise in Australia.

If it is placed in other companies, it may not have anything, but it is different here, there is an absolutely secret existence in Australia, Liu Yun feels that the focus is here.

Their target should be the manufacturing drawings of the steam engine, it is difficult to say whether the Dutch or the Spaniards, or the French, there are shadows of spies from various countries, and even the Zheng family in Fujian has sent spies, their purpose is to steal Australia's secrets.

Liu Yun picked up the information and focused on the people here, and said to his subordinates standing aside: "I need their detailed entry information, go to the Immigration Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau to adjust the file, the sooner the better, is this a provocation against our Department of Homeland Security, gentlemen, I hope you all cheer up."
