Chapter 284: Full Wings

Qin Zhiyuan has almost traveled to all the institutions in Thunder City and Trident City this time, just like a king inspecting his territory, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't need to do much, he only needs to walk around, and he can explain a lot of things.

"Eric has had a bit of a problem lately, and last month, he secretly met with an unknown person from Paris at the August Jasmine restaurant, which was later confirmed to be from the Paris Ministry of the Interior, and it is unknown why he met with Eric." On the way back, Gao Hongshi reported to Qin Zhiyuan on the latest progress of the work of the Detective Division.

Qin Zhiyuan, who was born as an agent, naturally will not relax his intelligence work, and the Detective Department is an intelligence unit born out of a reconnaissance company, which is responsible for internal surveillance and external operations, targeting all people and units who have dealings with the First Division and Corsica.

Of course, the above is only an ideal state, in fact, the covering surface cannot be so light, otherwise the manpower and funds required will be astronomical.

In fact, there are not so many units and people to monitor, only those at the top, such as members of parliament and officials in government agencies. Eric, who is the president of the Trident City Council, is on the watch list.

"Don't rush to close the net for a while, observe for a while, figure out what Eric is doing, and if necessary, send a team to Paris." Qin Zhiyuan is really not in a hurry.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing out of the ordinary on Corsica except for the more Chinese, and Qin Zhiyuan can withstand the investigation. I'm afraid that some people will deliberately find fault, but Qin Zhiyuan has to take precautions, and the necessary precautions must be available.

"The focus is on the research institute, except for the researchers, all the logistics and security personnel have to be replaced by our own people, even if it's Sandy and Michelle's drivers, I have to know what they bring with them to the toilet every day." Qin Zhiyuan has a focus.

At the level of Sandy and Michelle, there is no need to worry about leaks. Highly educated scientists like Sandy and Michelle can still be trusted in their conduct.

It's the people around Sandy and Michelle who can't be believed.

Qin Zhiyuan allocated a car for Sandy and Michelle, and the driver would originally be sent with the car, but because of Sandy and Michelle's insistence, Sandy and Michelle hired it themselves. Sandy and Michelle hired two middle-aged men from mainland France, who are said to have been distant relatives of Michel and have been implicated in the affairs of Michel's family.

There are many such people, such as the nannies and servants in Michelle's house, all of whom are relatives who have come to Michelle, and only God knows if they have a special mission.

"Basically, all the workers and security personnel are members of the detective department, both Chinese and French, and all the French are members of the Knights Templar, and there is no problem with loyalty." Although Gao Hongshi is still nominally Qin Zhiyuan's adjutant, in fact, because he is still the director of the Detective Division, he is not by Qin Zhiyuan's side more often.

Pierre and Gao Hongshi are now equivalent to taking turns to serve as Qin Zhiyuan's adjutant, when Gao Hongshi comes back, Pierre will take the initiative to take a vacation, and Gao Hongshi will be the same when Pierre returns.

"The Trident City Port Authority has a list of more than forty people, all of whom are sailors who have tried to enter the merchant ships of Trident City during the month, and more than thirty of them are sure that there is no threat and just want to have fun in the city, and the remaining dozen or so have not escaped suspicion and are locked up in the police station for further investigation. David asked for legislation to be enacted as soon as possible, so that they could be punished justifiably. "Gao Hongshi manages a little too much.

Legislation is a big issue, and it is difficult to strike a balance between not conflicting with the Constitution and fully protecting Corsica's interests. Fortunately, it is the time of the world war, and many lawyers are close to semi-unemployment because they have no lawsuits to fight and stay at home. Qin Zhiyuan did not follow Pierre when he returned this time, and one of his tasks was to find a few notorious lawyers and set up a legislative committee to improve the local laws of Corsica.

As for why it became notorious, there is a reason for that. It's like tax evasion, you have to be able to find loopholes to succeed, and in general, notorious lawyers are infamous because they are good at exploiting loopholes.

They are the real experts, much better than the mediocre ones who can only read from the script.

"Don't worry about legislation, this work will be done quickly, but you can't pin all your hopes on legislation, it will take a long process and will be adjusted according to the situation at any time. What you need to do now is to eliminate hidden dangers, try to nip the problem in the bud, not wait until the incident happens to deal with it, and try to do the work in advance. Qin Zhiyuan still focuses his work on prevention.

Counter-espionage work, or secrecy work, is mainly a matter of vigilance, and if it is constantly emphasized and spurred at all times, most of the leaks of secrets can be prevented. A large part of the reason why officials or scientific researchers leak secrets is because they have a fluke mentality, if they clearly know the tightness of the detective department, and know the serious consequences that leaking secrets or defection will cause, those people may not give up their stable jobs and take risks.

Qin Zhiyuan introduced a 12-level wage system in Corsica, ranging from the lowest wage of three francs per day to the highest wage of sixty francs per day.

The lowest of these are migrant workers from North Africa, who pay an average of three francs a day, which is enough to ensure a basic subsistence.

The soldiers of the 1st Division were paid 10 francs per day, which was a wartime salary limited to combat units, or 6 francs per day if they were on leave.

The salaries of government civil servants are not fixed, and they fluctuate according to the total salary of all people, and the average salary of all the people under Qin Zhiyuan is taken, which is basically about six francs.

The highest paid people are scientific researchers, such as Michel and Sandy, who are now paid 60 francs a day.

Qin Zhiyuan's personal salary was lower than that of scientific researchers, only 50 francs per day, and the salaries of military commanders in various departments were reduced in turn, until the salary of the lowest non-commissioned officer, that is, the second lieutenant, was 20 francs per day during wartime.

The salary of a technician is about 15 francs per day, which is slightly lower than that of a second lieutenant and slightly higher than that of ordinary soldiers, including naval soldiers, armored soldiers and artillery technicians.

The sergeant's salary was exceptional, at the same level as a lieutenant, and he received 25 francs a day.

This is already very high, if converted into dollars, each soldier can get a salary of about 60 dollars a month, if they want to use their salary to buy an American-made Ford Model T, then only need to save five and a half months, they can buy one.

High benefits are corresponded to high burdens.

Nowhere was this more evident than when Qin Zhiyuan listened to the reports of Huang Fugui and Gaspard.

Gaspard has now earned Qin Zhiyuan's trust, and he is responsible for making money for Qin Zhiyuan. Huang Fugui continues to serve as Qin Zhiyuan's chief steward, and now manages an accounting team that exercises the functions of the Ministry of Finance, which is responsible for all expenditure audits, which can be regarded as spending money.

Qin Zhiyuan's subordinates are now full-fledged. (To be continued.) )
