Chapter 217: Nighthawk Headquarters
When he arrived in Beiyuan County, Ye Xing sold his horses and changed them into passenger boats, and the boats along the Song River also changed greatly, all the boats on the Song River were replaced with gasoline-burning powered boats, and the Song River became the busiest waterway.
A wide national highway has also been built along the embankment on the side of the Song River, which is very busy with the flow of people, and there are many extremely high long bridges across the river, which will not affect the passage of oversized ships under the bridge.
When he arrived in the capital, Ye Xing asked the two eagles to go back to Xuanyue Manor first, and went to the capital for a turn, everything is still the same, all the old buildings in the city are well protected, the original palace is still splendid, but there is no one to live in, the Song family has been evacuated, and it is now managed by the special service team of the Tianxing Kingdom.
The original square in the center of the city, and several rows of houses nearby, have been demolished and replaced with twelve seven-story buildings, which are the office buildings of government agencies in the Kingdom of Celestial Stars.
Ye Xing took a look at the government office building from a distance, and did not go inside, nor did he use his divine sense to scan it, he only thought that he was a tourist, of course, these twelve buildings were the strongest and most closely protected buildings in the Heavenly Star Kingdom.
Song Cheng has changed its owner, but it is still the same, of course, the legal system and humanistic atmosphere are very different from thirty years ago.
Back at Xuanyue Manor, Tang Xiaoshan and Dushang have been waiting for a long time, and the two of them haven't seen Ye Xing for more than ten years, and the two of them are now quite old.
The two reported on the situation of the "Nighthawk", the existing problems, and the ideas for the next step.
Du Shang said, "Over the years, we have basically taken the sale of intelligence as our main business, and the income can also be used, and with the profit support of Xuanyue Logistics, we have our eyeliner in all the large and small towns of the neighboring countries, and through the secret long-wave radio, the headquarters can basically receive important news from all over the world on the same day." ”
Tang Xiaoshan said, "Now there are hundreds of intelligence analysts in the headquarters, and there are dozens of people in thousands of branches, Nighthawk is already a huge and complex organization, and the foreseeable future will become more and more huge, and it is difficult to manage now, the two of us are already struggling, and the future is even more unbearable."
Duchamp said, "Now the main backbone personnel are still the talents we have cultivated ourselves, but the people below have been changed beyond recognition, and loyalty is difficult to guarantee." I believe that we have already been leaked, and now the time has come for small branches everywhere, often vandalized, and a decision must be made."
Ye Xing asked, "The backbone personnel clearly understand all the details of our operation, the intelligence informants below should not know, from now on, shrink the personnel, the main core personnel in various places will be retained, and the non-core personnel will be withdrawn, remember to make sure that they are secret-mouthed people first, if it can't be guaranteed, arrange to work in Xuanyue Logistics first, and don't stay the leaker." ”
Tang Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Actually, the reorganization began last year, but the reorganization process was very slow and not very easy to handle, and many intelligence personnel have already taken root in the local area, and they are entangled with local interests, which is really contrary to our original intention."
Ye Xing said unhappily, "Nighthawk is an intelligence agency, not an interest group!" You have to be able to keep secrets, don't become fat pigs in front of people, reduce the personnel to one-tenth, and keep only half of the analysts"
Duchamp shook his head and said, "Without enough personnel, it is impossible to deal with a large amount of various information, not to mention general intelligence, even special intelligence every day, and several personnel have to track and analyze, which is too busy."
Tang Xiaoshan sighed, "We have used a lot of means, and the mountains of information cannot be sorted out quickly, and many times, there are no ideas to give specific guidance."
Ye Xing shook his head and said, "What you want is core information, non-core information, just transfer it to Tianxing Telecom and Xuanyue Logistics for analysis!" Reorganize the detailed intelligence level, train key personnel, and only the special level of intelligence will be transmitted to the headquarters, and the rest will be transferred to Xuanyue Logistics and Tianxing Telecom, so that the two companies can pay to collect the information"
The two nodded, and Duchamp nodded, "Well, I understand, the master wants the 'Nighthawk' to be completely separated from Xuanyue Logistics and Tianxing Telecom, and I also think that many times they have asked us as subordinates."
Ye Xing nodded, but his tone became cold, and he said sharply, "Immediately cut off the communication between the face and the bottom, the 'Nighthawk' is a secret guardian force, not to make money, not to serve any interest group." You are independent of all institutions, including the Celestial Stars, and the Presidency cannot order Nighthawk to do anything. ”
Ye Xing suddenly stared at the two of them seriously, and was silent for a long time, the two of them sweated like rain, and they didn't dare to speak again.
Ye Xing looked at the gray hair of the two of them, and his heart softened for a while, before he said softly, "Keep in mind our original intention of establishing the 'Nighthawk'. As long as the most secret and critical information, not too secret and important matters, the 'Nighthawk' chooses to deal with it at its own discretion, and there is no need to report and discuss with any agency! ”
The two of them looked at the ground with their eyes, their hands kept wiping the sweat on their faces, they both nodded yes, they didn't dare to look directly at Ye Xing, it was the first time in decades that Ye Xing spoke to them so harshly, and the two of them were really scared.
Ye Xingdao, "All the backbone personnel must be given high salaries, and they must also change their stations at any time, and only the most loyal to us can know our secrets."
Seeing that the two of them were still speechless, after thinking about it, Ye Xing asked softly, "I asked you to secretly try out the electronic computer more than ten years ago, how is it progressing now?"
Tang Xiaoshan said, "I arranged hundreds of scientific and technological personnel, according to the master to give thousands of design drawings, from the most basic link to manufacture, after more than ten years of excellence in research and development, has been two years ago trial production, scientific research personnel just according to the drawings of the manufacture, do not understand how to use, has not been able to get the master's response, now is still in the headquarters, all the production equipment is still in good condition"
Ye Xing nodded, a smile finally appeared on his serious face, and said, "Tell me the location of the headquarters, I will set up a fixed-point teleportation array, and we will go to the headquarters together tomorrow." ”
Duchamp took out the map from his bosom, clicked on it, and said, "In the northwest of Song City, about three hundred miles"
Ye Xing nodded, took out some pill jade bottles from the space ring, and said, "You only take these pills when you are unwell. Come here tomorrow morning, let's go to the headquarters together, you guys go home and rest first, oh, don't tell anyone, I'm back! ”
The two nodded yes, wiped the beads of sweat from their faces, and bowed to Ye Xing before turning to leave.
Ye Xing picked up the map given by Duchamp, carefully calculated the direction and distance, and then set up a protective formation in his cultivation room, and then arranged the teleportation array again.
Ye Xing's current formation level is already at the level of a grandmaster, with an array disk in his hand, and an extremely pure energy source such as a small piece of spirit crystal, Ye Xing's divine sense is already strong, and it was quickly arranged, and he also made some corrections before resting.
Early the next morning, Tang Xiaoshan and Dushang came to Xuanyue Manor, Ye Xing took the two to the cultivation room, stood on top of the array disk, and then inserted a small hole in the center of the array disk with an activation token, activating the teleportation array.
In just a few breaths, the three of them appeared in Beimang Mountain, three hundred and twenty miles northwest of Song City, although it was not the headquarters of the "Nighthawk", but it was not far behind.
Tang Xiaoshan took out a communication device, pressed it, and half a moment later, a stealth plane came to the three of them, and the three of them got on the plane and soon came to the headquarters, which is located in the belly of the mountain, a base transformed from a large natural cave.
The three of them still have to go through a series of identity certifications before entering the ABP, which is divided into hundreds of rooms of different sizes, with all living facilities, its own power generation equipment, bright lights, and hidden ventilation exchanges, it is completely a small town.
In the headquarters of "Nighthawk", there are hundreds of people working here, completely isolated from outsiders, of course, life is not really far away from the crowd, his home is in a nearby town, they also have family, friends, and have their own lives, but the content and place of work are not allowed to be passed on.
Every other month, the personnel of the headquarters have a few days off, and they will be sent to the mountains and forests 50 miles away by stealth planes, and of course, when they return, they must also contact the headquarters before they can be picked up by the stealth planes to return to the headquarters.
The two took Ye Xing and gave a brief introduction to every part of the ABP, but Ye Xing did not express his opinion.
In addition to intelligence aggregation and analysis, the headquarters is to produce all kinds of espionage equipment, all of which are designed by Ye Xing, and produce all kinds of high-end things at any cost, which are decades ahead of the civilian equipment outside.
