The next day, after breakfast, Wang Kunjun called Zhang Weixin to a small conference room and told him the suggestion that Zhang Xiaofei had mentioned the day before that the team should establish a more complete and larger intelligence system. In this regard, Zhang Weixin raised his hands in approval. He said he had the same idea. If Wang Kunjun didn't come to him, he would also take the initiative to talk to Wang Kunjun about this issue.

Subsequently, Wang Kunjun raised the issue of the selection of the responsible persons of the intelligence department and relevant subordinate personnel. He said: "From my personal point of view, the intelligence department can be called one of the core departments of the team, and its importance is probably no less than that of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Security, and the Ministry of Science and Technology." And, as the team grows, the intelligence community will grow in importance. Therefore, I think the head of this department should choose a member who everyone can trust and who is absolutely loyal to the team. ”

Zhang Weixin nodded and said, "I agree with the fifth brother's statement, the intelligence department is a very important matter, and it is absolutely impossible to choose the person in charge for it. As for whether Zheng Zhiwei said by the eldest fifth sister-in-law is suitable, I have the same opinion as the fifth brother. Although the Zhiwei brothers have been working very seriously and responsibly since joining the team, they get along well with the brothers who arrived first, and the brothers think he is a very good person. However, after all, the Zhiwei brothers only joined the team a year after the crossing, and this kind of congenital deficiency will not have any effect in the ordinary department, but if it is placed in the more sensitive intelligence department, the brothers who came early will inevitably have a sense of distrust towards him.

Moreover, he is not a member of the 'Qingyuan' brothers, and he is afraid that he may not be able to convince the public within the team, which may make him unable to let go of his hands when doing things, especially when it comes to his own brothers. And as the head of the intelligence department, if he can't do things freely, then it will be difficult for him to do his job well.

However, the Zhiwei brothers are professionals in this area after all. My brother thinks that although he is not suitable to be the head of the department, it is okay to let him be the backbone of the business and have him in charge of the training. ”

"Yes," Wang Kunjun also had the same thought, "Brother Zhiwei, as an expert in this field, if he is completely excluded from the intelligence department, it will be a waste of talents." You see, how about making him deputy head of intelligence? ”

"I agree," Zhang Weixin agreed, "In this way, we can not only give full play to the talents of the Zhiwei brothers, but also avoid the objections of other brothers." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Weixin paused slightly, and then asked: "So, from the perspective of the fifth brother, who should be the head of the department?" ”

Wang Kunjun thought for a while and said, "As for the choice of the head of the intelligence department, I am currently more inclined to have Lao Twenty-Eight take this position. ”

Zhang Weixin did not agree with Wang Kunjun's proposal, and said: "But Lao Twenty-eight is now the director of the censorship department, fifth brother, what do you mean ......?"

Without waiting for Zhang Weixin to finish speaking, Wang Kunjun waved his hand and interrupted him: "I think so about this issue. Judging from the current work of the old 28, the work of reviewing and reviewing its personnel can also be regarded as part of the intelligence work in a certain sense. With the establishment of the intelligence department, there will inevitably be a certain overlap between its functions and tasks with the previous functions and tasks of the censorship department. In that case, I think we can merge these two departments into one, abolish the censorship department, and merge its functions into the intelligence department.

In other words, our future intelligence department will be divided into two parts, or two major departments. A department is responsible for external intelligence collection, collation, analysis, research and judgment, and provides information support for the team's work. In addition to internal review and audit, the other department is also responsible for preventing the infiltration of hostile shili into the team. To use an inappropriate analogy, the external department is equivalent to the CIA in the United States, and the internal department is equivalent to the FBI in the United States, what do you think of this idea? ”

Although Zhang Weixin has no objections to Wang Kunjun's plan of merging the two into one and dividing them into two, he still has some ideas of his own on the selection of department heads. He thought about it carefully and said, "I have no opinion on the fifth brother's plan, but brother, I still think it's not appropriate to let Lao Twenty-eight be the head of the intelligence department."

You know, the brothers are all from the modern era, and with their understanding of the intelligence department, they will inevitably imagine it as a department with great power and relatively little constraints. In their hearts, the head of this department can definitely be called a 'high authority', and naturally they need a person who is also 'highly respected' in the team to be suitable. ,

Although Lao Twenty-Eight is definitely trustworthy of his own people, and he has done a good job in the censorship department before. However, the powers of the Ministry of Censorship and the Ministry of Intelligence are far from the same, and the old twenty-eight is too low in terms of age and rank among the brothers, so let him hold this position, I am afraid that the brothers will have opinions. ”

"You have a certain point," Wang Kunjun nodded, "I just thought it was easiest to arrange this way, and I didn't take into account the brothers' understanding of the intelligence department. Now it seems that I have made a bit of a hasty arrangement. It's just that, according to what you just said, the head of the intelligence department needs to be a 'highly respectable' person, and I'm afraid only the four of us are the most suitable. But the four of us are now in charge of a department, and if one of us is also in charge of the intelligence department, will we be suspected of having too much power? ”

Zhang Weixin didn't care much about this problem. Because from his original intention, he hoped that Wang Kunjun would be in charge of the work of the intelligence department, so that the "Dongshan faction" could have a greater say in the team. At the same time, he is also confident that Wang Kunjun will be able to obtain this position. However, Wang Kunjun's worries also have some reason. Especially in the past, there has never been a situation where the leader of a group has also served as the head of the intelligence department of that group. Even if a spy organization like Zhu Yuanzhang and his descendants established Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang, they were looking for someone to be the leader of these organizations, rather than going into battle themselves. Although there is a reason why it is impossible for the emperor to be an official, it is also an inevitable choice in connection with the situation of various intelligence agencies in the past and modern times.

As for himself taking this position, Zhang Weixin really hasn't thought about it. Because, although he is nominally a member of the committee and the head of the foreign exchange department, in fact, because Li Junwu and Xu Shao'an are focused on the department they are also working on, and Wang Kunjun only focuses on the decision-making of issues that have a greater impact on the team, all kinds of daily trivial matters of the entire crossing team basically fall on him. Therefore, he has been working hard, and now he really doesn't want to take any more work on himself.

Therefore, after Wang Kunjun put forward his opinion, Zhang Weixin also nodded and said: "What the fifth brother is worried about is that this is indeed a more difficult problem. ”

For a while, the small conference room became quiet, and both Wang and Zhang were trying to think of a solution to this problem.

After a while, Zhang Weixin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of a person. He said tentatively to Wang Kunjun: "Fifth brother, my brother thinks of a person, but I don't know if the fifth brother can agree." ”

"Let's talk about it," replied Wang.

"Brother thinks so," Zhang Weixin didn't immediately give a name, but said in a circle, "Since the person in charge of the Intelligence Department wants to be 'highly respected', and it is inconvenient for a few of our committee members to serve concurrently, then we can take a step back and choose a person whose reputation in the team is second only to the four of us, and at the same time, whether it is older or higher, and the position he holds is neither low nor very conspicuous, to serve as the head of the Intelligence Department." ”

"Well, that's a good idea," Wang Kunjun agreed with Zhang Weixin's suggestion, "but which of the brothers is the most suitable for this?" Second brother? Third brother? Sixth? Old Eleven? Old Fourteen? ”

Seeing that Wang Kunjun said the names of several brothers there, Zhang Weixin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Fifth brother, don't guess, these brothers you said are not the ones I thought of." ”

"Neither? So which one do you think of? Wang Kunjun asked puzzled.

"Strictly speaking, the candidate I have in mind is not our sworn brother," Zhang Weixin said.

Zhang Weixin's answer made Wang Kunjun even more confused, and he asked more and more puzzled: "It's not a brother, is it a sister?" But none of the sisters meet the conditions we said? ”

Seeing that Wang Kunjun had not been able to grasp the essentials, Zhang Weixin no longer went around in circles with him, and said bluntly: "I am not talking about the thirty-six brothers and sisters of 'Qingyuan' at all, but your eldest lady. ”

"You mean to make Xiaofei the head of the intelligence department," Wang Kunjun said in surprise. Zhang Weixin's suggestion was really unexpected by him, and he couldn't turn around for a while.

"Yes, I'm talking about the eldest fifth sister-in-law," Zhang Weixin affirmed. ,

"Can she?" Wang Kunjun said with some confusion, "Just like you said, Xiaofei is not among the thirty-six brothers and sisters of our 'Qingyuan' at all, let her be the supervisor, can the other brothers obey?" Besides, she's my wife. In the eyes of the brothers, the two of us should be husband and wife. Putting her in charge of the Intelligence Department is tantamount to handing over the Intelligence Department to me in disguise. When the time comes, I still can't get rid of the suspicion of too much power. ”

"Otherwise," Zhang Weixin explained, "the effect of our four committee members being concurrently serving is completely different from that of the eldest fifth sister-in-law. Yes, the eldest sister-in-law is your wife. But in addition to being your wife, she is also a key member of the team, and she is also a department head who is entitled to participate in the enlarged meeting of the committee. Although it is said that they are husband and wife, the eldest fifth sister-in-law is a woman with independent thoughts after all, not an accessory of the fifth brother. In the case that a more suitable candidate cannot be found for a while, it is the best choice for the eldest sister-in-law to fill this position.

Moreover, since the eldest sister-in-law joined the team, she has performed very well in all aspects and won everyone's respect for her. With her as the head of the intelligence department, she is able to meet the requirements regardless of age and prestige, and her loyalty to the team is unquestionable. In addition, with the fifth brother by your side, everyone will definitely not have any opinions.

As for the eldest fifth sister-in-law not being among the 'Qingyuan' brothers, this is not a key issue. As I said earlier, this will not affect the status of the eldest sister-in-law in the hearts of the brothers.

In addition, the eldest fifth sister-in-law and the Zhiwei brothers have shared hardships, and it is easier for the Zhiwei brothers to accept her as their direct leader. ”

Although he felt that what Zhang Weixin said made some sense, Wang Kunjun was still worried. He pondered for a long time and said, "This matter is too important, you allow me to think about it again, think about it carefully." ”
