Chapter 210: Special Affairs Bureau
Just like Li Da said, the production capacity of the arsenal cannot meet the needs of more than 30,000 or nearly 40,000 people, in fact, the existing work alone has exhausted the people of the arsenal. So there is no other way, Li Da can only push the 'business' sent to the door out.
That's right, it's business.
Although it was Yan Shao who came to the door, don't forget that he represents the military government.
And after becoming the governor, Yan Shao had no intention of merging his own company into the military government. Therefore, although there are many people in both the outside world and the military government who regard the Yushi Group and the Anhui Military Government as one, in fact, the Yushi Group is still self-contained.
If this was not the case, how could Yan Shao arrange Elaline into the group and be responsible for everything in the group?
So this business is really going to be negotiated, although the arsenal is Yan Shao's industry, but it is the military government that pays the last money. And whether it is 30,000 steel helmets or 30,000 sapper shovels, this is not a small amount, not to mention anything else, at least hundreds of thousands are still someββββββ although in Yan Shao's opinion, hundreds of thousands are nothing at all.
"Forget it..."With a long sigh, Yan Shao patted Li Da and Ji Yushan on the shoulders. I'll take the sketches first, and you guys will prepare them first, the equipment ordered from Germany and the United States is already on the way, and when the equipment arrives, you will find a way to build the arsenal..."
After speaking, Yan Shao looked out the window and looked at the small venue outside.
The entire arsenal was built in a courtyard, and the entire courtyard, in all seriousness, was not even as large as a gymnasium in later generations. For such a little arsenal. It's hard to get them to complete tens of thousands of pieces of equipment.
"It's a little too much..."
After the equipment arrives, of course, it will not be expanded here.
While there were many advantages to having the arsenal here in the first place, they are now disadvantages.
For example, the place is remote and hidden. It has become inaccessible now. And the sound of explosions coming from the mines, the production environment of the arsenal is already very noisy, if there are two more explosions from time to time, this will still make the workers in the arsenal live? Moreover, the site of the arsenal was also very small, and even if it was expanded, it would not be able to expand much in the mountains.
So Yan Shao has already decided to move the arsenal to Anqing. In this way, on the one hand, it can be produced nearby. On the other hand, proximity protection can also increase the 'employment rate' of Anqing and improve the city's industrialization. After all, a large arsenal always needs tens of thousands of people.
The most important thing is that if the arsenal is far away from Nanjing, it is also safer.
Hearing Yan Shao's words, Li Da hurriedly nodded.
Sketches of steel helmets and sapper shovels were taken from the table. Yan Shao turned around and left the office. Behind him, Li Da and Ji Yushan also hurriedly sent him out.
After leaving the arsenal by car, Yan Shao did not return to Anqing immediately, but went to the garment factory first.
ββ¦β¦ After three shifts, our factory can produce 3,000 sets of military uniforms per day, and all that the military government needs can be completed in less than 15 days..."Standing beside Yan Shao, the manager of the garment factory carefully accompanied him and explained.
In the factory, countless female workers are sitting at the sewing machine, sewing on the sewing machine as training clothes.
Watch these female workers sew their uniforms neatly with their hands and feet. Yan Shao nodded in his heart. "The difficulties on your side, Elainor has already told me, daily clothes. It's okay to be late, the key is to get the training uniforms out as soon as possible..."
After speaking, Yan Shao sighed lightly, and the trained recruits were trained in the factory uniforms of the Yushi Group, which had caused a lot of discussion in the military government. Although Yan Shao's status doesn't have to care about these things at all, it's not a good thing to be talked about all the time...
"Understand, our factory will definitely complete the task as soon as possible..."
Nodding, Yan Shao walked past a sewing machine.
It must be said that the craftsmanship of these sewing women is very exquisite, and the pieces of cloth are quickly made into garments under their work. However, after seeing the way they worked, Yan Shao began to consider whether to let them use the assembly line method for production.
The craftsmanship of these female workers is indeed very exquisite, but one person is responsible for a garment, after all, the work efficiency is relatively low, if you can use the assembly line to work, I believe that the efficiency will be improved a lot.
However, after thinking about it, Yan Shao shook his head.
This will certainly improve efficiency, but it will take at least a few days to get women workers to abandon the old model and switch to the new model, which will affect the efficiency of the women workers. So just let them keep it that way for now...
"As for whether it will change in the future, it depends on Elaine's opinion, anyway, she has always been in charge of the garment factory"
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Leaving the garment factory, Yan Shao returned to the manor.
Looking at this place where he has lived for many years, Yan Shao felt a little regretful in his heart.
"Why didn't I bring Lu Ying too..."
If Lu Ying can be brought in, Yan Shao seems to be able to do a lot of measures that could not be taken because of Elainor's surveillance.
It's just that when Yan Shao proposed to bring Lu Ying here, Elaline and Caterina seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and directly left Lu Ying by his side. After the worst, there was no other way, and Yan Shao could only go to Wuhu alone.
After Yan Shao and Elaine left, the manor was empty.
After all, the Governor's Mansion in Anqing couldn't hold too many people, so except for some subordinates who followed them to Anqing, most of the subordinates stayed in the manor and were responsible for taking care of many things in the manor.
When Yan Shao and the others drove from the manor, they only carried a small number of their belongings, and the large ones were left in the mansion, so there were not many changes between the manor and when they left.
Seeing that Yan Shao was back, the bored subordinates who were idle in the manor also surrounded him. After surrounding, in addition to expressing the longing that I haven't seen for many days, the most important thing is.
"When are you going to take us with you?"
When the manor was first built. Yan Shao once bought a lot of maids to come in. But after the military government was established, Yan Shao gave them back their freedom, not only that. They even gave 50 yuan each to go home.
It's just that except for a few people (who were sold because of an emergency at home), the vast majority of the maids chose to stay. Their reason is also very simple, that is, even if they leave here, there is nowhere else to go, so the last part of the people stayed.
But now they are in a hurry, there is no way, being left in the manor is really a bit too much like being beaten into the cold palace. I can't help but let these subordinates not be in a hurry.
"In a few months, let's be done over there..."
Go back to your room and lie down in the bed you've been sleeping in for years. Looking at the ceiling that was originally familiar, but now it has become a little unfamiliar, Yan Shao suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the days when he rolled on this bed and the soft delicate bodies of the other two...
"Stay here for the night, and then go home tomorrow."
Cover yourself with the quilt. Yan Shao thought so in his heart.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Just when Yan Shao was resting on the bed. Katarina, who is far away in Anqing, is a little busy.
Anqing, the provincial capital of Anhui, is also the most prosperous city in the whole of Anhui.
Not to mention anything else, the population of more than 2 million people in the surrounding counties alone is enough to make him more prosperous than any city in Anhuiββββββ even Wuhu has a population of just over 100,000.
After almost half a month of Anqing's recovery, the streets have returned to their former prosperity, almost any street. You can see countless people, and even in front of the gate of the Governor's Palace, you can see many people passing by.
However, in front of a two-story building not very far from the Governor's Palace. But there are very few people to see, and this is the new headquarters building of the Special Affairs Bureau. Although the scale is a bit small, but there is no way, who says that there is no suitable place in Anqing, the new headquarters building is under construction, but there are also offices of other departments built with it, such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Justice and even the Ministry of Public Security, so the Special Affairs Bureau can only temporarily live here.
After the restoration of Anqing, the existence of the Secret Service Bureau was no longer a secret, and almost everyone in the military government knew very well that Yan Shao also had a professional intelligence organization under his hands, just like the Jinyiwei or the East and West Factory in the Ming Dynasty.
What does an intelligence organization do? Maybe many people don't know, but I'm afraid there are very few people who don't know what Jinyiwei does, and almost everyone has an instinctive rejection of this organization.
It is also for this reason that few people in the military government are willing to pass by in front of this two-story building, and the surrounding people also feel a little uncomfortable when they learn about it. In their eyes, the existence of the Secret Service is probably even more terrifying than in the eyes of the military government, after all, in the stories that have been passed down for many years, organizations like the Secret Service are generally very terrifying places, even if they are no different from hellββββββ this is really a bit exaggerated.
Even the people around them don't want to pass by, and those people who don't know the truth, because of the strange situation of this street, subconsciously avoid, even if they have to pass by here, look at the lively situation on the street next door, after looking at the desertion here, they will speed up their pace and want to get out of the city earlier...
However, I don't know what happened today, but the front of the Special Affairs Bureau has changed from the cold in the past and has become much more lively than in the past. Especially in front of the gate, there is a long queue.
It's just that despite this, there are many fewer people who are willing to pass by than usual, and even if there are people who don't know the truth, they will quickly go back after seeing it.
Without him...
Because almost all of the people standing at the door of the Secret Service Bureau are bald and sturdy guys.
For this kind of person, ordinary people can't even hide, how can they take the initiative to get in.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Standing by the window of the office on the second floor, glancing at the people in line downstairs, Caterina looked at Tang Li who was standing beside her. "How many people have been hired?"
"Three hundred and ninety-seven people..."After thinking about the data that he had only seen more than ten minutes ago, Tang Li replied without hesitation. She is also one of the people in charge of this matter, so she is naturally quite clear. "It's just that there are very few people available in it. For example, in the Intelligence Section, there are only about 50 people who are suitable, and most of them are assigned to the Operations Section..."
Speaking of which. Tang Li also looked helpless.
"There's no way around it." Shaking her head, Caterina sighed as well. "Who told me that most of the people who were sent here this time were from the army..."
After saying that, Caterina looked downstairs again, and could see that more than a dozen people were shaking their heads and leaving the gate, as if they had not been chosen.
"Let's go downstairs and have a look..."
"It's good..."
In fact, not only in front of the gate, but also in the corridors of the building. However, after seeing Caterina and Tang Li come out of the room. Most of them hurriedly stepped aside, while looking at the woman from Spain with curious eyes.
After all, they will be mixed here in the future, and they still have a certain understanding of their immediate superiors. I also know that this woman from Spain is the lover of her own governor, and it is very likely that she will become the wife of the governor in the future...
It was also for this reason that when Caterina walked through the middle, everyone seemed to bow their heads slightly.
On the outside. More than a dozen recruited soldiers were standing there. Interviewed by Luo Wenying and others.
The main thing to know is their academic qualifications, specialties, etc., although the former one is rarely able to say.
The Special Affairs Section has now become the Special Affairs Bureau. From a department to a bureau, the scale has become larger, and the number of people required will naturally increase. And after talking with Yan Shao, Katerina also knew very well that the scope of activities of the Special Affairs Section would not be limited to Anhui, but would be extended to the whole country and even some surrounding countries, so after getting Yan Shao's permission. Caterina transferred many people from Yan Shao's Guards Regiment and the New Army stationed in Anqing, intending to expand the number of personnel in the Special Affairs Bureau from the original more than 200 people to more than 1,000 people.
In this way, even if the operations of the Special Service Bureau are expanded to the whole country. There will also be no shortage of manpower.
Since the people selected are all from the army, there is no problem with either ability or loyalty. But most of the people selected this time are only suitable for working under Luo Wenying.
No way, the temperament of the military is too prominent, even if you wear civilian clothes, you can still see that they are soldiers, such people are only suitable for responsible actions, not suitable for investigations, lurking, etc., which is also the most headache for Katarina.
As Tang Li said, the Intelligence Bureau only selected about 50 people with not very outstanding military temperament, but this number is not enough for the Special Affairs Bureau.
"Why don't we recruit directly?"
Glancing at the guys outside who looked like soldiers no matter how they looked, Tang Li lowered his head and thought for a while.
"External recruitment?" Caterina frowned slightly. "Wouldn't it be too ostentatious, and what if people who are hostile to us, such as the Japanese or the Confederacy, are also recruited?"
It's not impossible, as the Rainstone Group and one of the most secretive departments of the junta are deeply interested in it, even those within the junta. If you have the chance, people on the outside definitely don't mind digging deeper.
However, hearing Caterina's concerns, Tang Li smiled and spoke. "I don't mean to advertise external recruitment, but, how to put it, we can recruit directly within the group..."
"Our group now has more than 100,000 people, covering almost everything from ordinary workers and farmers to teachers and doctors.
Speaking of which, not to mention Katerina, even Tang Li herself thinks it's a good idea.
"Why didn't you say it sooner?" With a palm patting Tang Li's waist, Caterina complained, while looking at the people who were still queuing outside, thinking about whether to return them.
At the same time, feeling the temperature of the palm coming from her waist, Tang Li's face suddenly turned a little red, and her face became a little weird when she looked at Katarina, but at this time, Katerina was thinking about recruiting people and didn't notice this...
Caterina was already dissatisfied with these people, but now that she had thought of other ways, she had no interest in continuing to watch. After holding Tang Li's hand, he walked directly to the garage, and then took the car to the Governor's Mansion, wanting to discuss it with Elanon, who was handling official business in the Governor's Mansion.
At this time, Yan Shao had not returned from Wuhu, so she could only discuss with Elaine.
After listening to Caterina and Tang Li's narration, Elaline also felt that this was a good solution. She has also seen the personnel recruited by the Special Affairs Bureau, and it may not be a problem to let them carry out the mission, but if it is something like listening or lurking, anyone with a discerning eye can see their true identity, and the probability of exposure is as high as more than 90%...
Naturally, after some professional training, this temperament may be reduced, but it is obviously not enough to do this for a few months or even more than a year, and neither Yan Shao nor Katarina has so much time.
"That guy will be back from Wuhu tomorrow, and we'll talk to him at that time." After thinking about it, Elaline proposed.
Although they make decisions on their own, smart women always know what to do and what not to do.
After thinking about it, Caterina nodded as well. "That's all there is to it," he complained again. That bastard doesn't know what Lu Dao thinks, why don't you just take a boat back, why do you have to spend the night there..."
"You'd better be glad, if you really let him bring Xiao Ying over, I'm afraid he may not be able to come back in a week..."
Listening to Elano's words, Caterina looked down for a moment, then nodded approvingly. (To be continued......)
