Chapter 145: Spy (Medium)
June 2, 191o, Wuhan, Central Social Investigation Department.
After the Spring Festival this year, the various agencies of the central government of the People's Republic of China began to move to Wuhan in six successions. Some of the new departments were set up directly in Wuhan, such as the Social Investigation Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Scientific Socialist Party, which was established last month in Wuhan's Hankou District.
The predecessor of the "Central Social Affairs Department" was the "Traffic Supervision Department" of the Xingke Group before the official uprising of Wen Desi, and later it was strengthened and integrated with the original enemy-occupied areas, that is, the underground intelligence organizations within the sphere of influence of the Qing court and other revolutionary parties. At present, the Central Social Investigation Department, the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Ministry of State Security, and the State Information and Statistics Bureau are all the main intelligence organs of New China.
The MIA focuses on military intelligence and is generally not internal; The main functions of the Ministry of Social Affairs are relatively close to E1, mainly focusing on counter-espionage, anti-group crime, and monitoring the illegal acts of officials, mainly for domestic use; The Ministry of State Security is more like a combination of the first two, with internal and external roles, and also undertakes the task of protecting important people and institutions; The State Information and Statistics Bureau, on the other hand, focuses more on political, economic, and scientific and technological intelligence, and basically analyzes, summarizes, and sorts out all kinds of information from various public information.
At this time, Fan Han, deputy director of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee, was listening to the report of his subordinates: "...... Minister Fan, since China announced its "Five-Year Plan" at the beginning of the year, foreign espionage activities have increased considerably, and as of next month, all relevant departments have cracked 336 espionage cases, which is already half of the total number last year. ”
Fan Han nodded: "Well, this is expected. Now that we have taken power in the whole country, the territory is so much bigger, and it is normal to have more spies. Besides, the top leaders think that we are lagging behind, and they don't pay much attention to us. But now we have shown that the scientific and technological strength is no less than that of the great powers, and our military strength also has the strength to challenge the great powers head-on, although they do not want to admit it, but they will also increase their investment in our intelligence forces.
After the liberation of China, the original underground organizations such as the East China Bureau and the North China Bureau were naturally abolished, and the original personnel were also assigned to other institutions. Comrade Fan Han, who used to be the head of the Beijing Intelligence Station, also went to the Central Social Investigation Department, and now he is the executive deputy director of this bureau, because Comrade Wang Qi, the director of the bureau, was ordered to set up the Ministry of State Security, and basically did not have the energy to manage this side, so Vice Minister Fan became the de facto top leader of the Central Social Investigation Department.
“...... Judging from the cases that have been cracked so far, all the major powers have been involved, among which the espionage cases involving Japan are the largest, accounting for 74 of the total number of cases. o, and then Russia and Great Britain...... Due to the difference in the appearance of the race, it is difficult for the Caucasian to directly engage in espionage activities in our country, although they can also bribe our people to carry out it, but after all, it is not as effective as doing it directly, from this point of view, the Japanese are the most convenient, and their people can easily blend into our society. ”
“...... Minister Fan, facts have proved that the household registration system and the grassroots joint defense system that we have now established can greatly reduce the success rate of hostile spies. Among the existing cracked cases, 8 were cracked after the current abnormalities were reported at the grassroots level. However, because Japan began to infiltrate China very early, some spies even infiltrated China decades ago, while the Manchu government had very little control over the grassroots level, and there was no reliable household registration information and personnel files. Therefore, it is very difficult to confirm the hidden spies before the establishment of our regime if they do not take action and are just lurking. ”
“...... Because of our country's absolute superiority in aviation technology, coupled with the international flight competition held in the United Kingdom in April, our delegation won all the championships. Therefore, several aircraft factories and airship factories in our country, as well as various air bases and civilian airports, have become the key targets of spies, and two-thirds of the cases cracked in the first four months of this year are related to this......
Several departments of the Central Social Affairs Department explained the situation separately. Fan Han just nodded, but didn't speak.
One of them continued: "Minister Fan, there is a new hot spot for hostile spies at present, and that is our agriculture. With the promotion of various high-quality crops and livestock cultivated in our country throughout the country, it has now attracted the attention of many forces. This is a new trend worth paying attention to, and if the enemy's target is a research institute, a university, or a factory, it is relatively easy to guard against them because of the limited number and area of these places, and the relatively strict management of personnel. But if it's in the countryside, with our current manpower and capabilities, it's hard to completely guard against it. After all, the farmland is too big for us to cover everything. By the end of last month, the police had received a number of reports about theft of high-quality crops and livestock...... "The ministry said worriedly.
"That's it, these foreign devils are not good things, they all treat us China as fat, and they want to get their hands on anything good that we have."
"These foreign devils have bad intentions, if these high-quality varieties are taken away by them, the loss of our country will be too great"
"But things like crops and livestock can't help but be promoted, so what's the point if they're just hidden in your pocket?"
"These things are the result of countless painstaking efforts by our scientific and technological personnel, and if they are stolen by foreign devils, it will not be too cheap for them
The subordinates were all filled with righteous indignation, and they began to discuss it. Chinese people have a blood love for "farming", whether they are from rural areas or not, and they all have a heartfelt love for these new crops that can bring bumper harvests and high yields. Therefore, the theft of high-quality crops and livestock by foreign spies undoubtedly succeeded in provoking their anger.
But they are also very helpless, although compared with foreign counterparts in this era, the efficiency of the Central Social Affairs Department can be said to be very high. But manpower is sometimes poor, and no matter how cattle they are, they can't keep every farmland and livestock pen in every place. This made the agents of the Central Social Affairs Department feel angry and helpless, and there was a deep sense of guilt.
Seeing the expressions of the comrades, Fan Han not only had any disappointed or helpless expressions, but instead smiled: "This problem has long been considered by the superiors, and it is something that even the gods cannot do to keep all the countryside watertight." We only need to look at the various agricultural research institutes, seed bases and livestock breeding bases. As for the fields and livestock pens in the countryside, don't worry, even if they steal it, it won't do much...... Comrades, our Science and Technology Party stresses science the most, and these things are all achievements of science, how can they be so easy to steal. ”
Fan Han touched his chin and said, "Of course, we can't be so cheap for them, since they are going to steal, then we have to send them some gifts, hum"
Sichuan, a new village in the countryside of Chengdu.
At this time, it is the summer harvest season, and some places have already completed the summer harvest, such as near Chengdu.
With the expansion of the liberated areas, chemical fertilizers have also begun to be popularized in large quantities, and the output of the original Xingke fertilizer plant can only barely supply part of Sichuan. If you start to expand the factory at the end of the day, you will definitely have to delay a lot of time. Therefore, since the beginning of the previous year, Xingke Group has begun to order equipment for fertilizer plants from various European and American powers through countless overseas vest companies.
Of course, for the sake of confidentiality, all of this equipment is ordered separately, and a set of ammonia production equipment is often ordered by different armour companies from several or even a dozen countries and enterprises, and some key components are still homemade. After these equipment components arrive in China, Xingke's own engineers and workers will complete the assembly and commissioning work. In this way, it is impossible for anyone other than Xingke himself to recognize what it is from the separate parts, let alone copy it.
Therefore, after the liberation of a region, as long as the plant is built, the equipment can be installed immediately, and it will take less than half a year for a fertilizer plant to be put into operation. By the end of last year, more than 6 fertilizer plants and 1o pesticide factories were added across the country, and all of them were put into operation. In addition, not only fertilizer and pesticide production equipment, but also many things with advanced design concepts, but manufacturing technology that was not a problem for the great powers at this time, were purchased using this method.
This year is the first year of the First Five-Year Plan, due to the promotion of new crops and chemical fertilizers and pesticides, this year's summer harvest results are very gratifying, such as here in Chengdu, because it is the old liberated area, everyone uses new technology earlier and more skillfully, and the harvest is higher than that of the new liberated area. This year's average yield of winter wheat per mu reached 55o kilograms, which is not surprising in later generations, but it is very impressive in this era. In this era, even the European and American powers, which have the strongest agricultural technology in the world, have the highest average yield of wheat per mu of only about 15o kilograms.
If in the Qing Dynasty or any period, a good harvest is not necessarily a good thing for the peasants. The phrase "grain cheapness hurts farmers" is not new to modern times. However, now that it is a new China under the leadership of the Science and Technology Socialist Party, of course this situation will not be allowed. Before the national power was obtained, the liberated areas had already implemented the policy of stabilizing grain prices, and the state grain departments would set a reasonable purchase price and selling price of grain before the annual harvest, and this price would not change until the next harvest, and even if it was compared vertically, the fluctuation range with the historical price would not be excessive.
If there are profiteers who think that this can take advantage of loopholes, it is a big mistake, in the eyes of the Science and Technology Socialist Party, this kind of opportunistic guy has no human rights, and Mr. Wen has never had any mercy on the guy who digs up his own wall, so their fate is ...... You know. There are already hundreds of such guys who think they can take advantage of Wen Zong, and they have learned a lesson that they will never forget丨confiscation of all property, a minimum of 1o years of labor reform, and the joint sitting of the whole family, which will make them increase their memory.
That's right, many of the laws of the Socialist Party are joint unless the family of the convict can prove that they have not profited from the illegal acts, or can spit out their previous illegal gains. Because in Mr. Wen's view, joint sitting is the fairest, and since the family members have gained benefits due to violating the law, they should pay the same price. Otherwise, how can there be a reason to only follow the thief to eat meat and not be beaten with the thief?
Well, that's a big deal, let's get back to business. Anyway, under various policies, the peasants' lives are much better now than before, so the peasants' spending power has also increased greatly, and the things that they were reluctant to buy before can now be considered. In the past two years, industry and commerce in the liberated areas have also been stimulated and have risen sharply.
Especially after the harvest, when the peasants have the most money in their hands, the villages are full of merchants who have heard the news.
At this time, two men dressed as merchants were driving an ox cart full of goods to the village.
They looked the same as the other merchants, all wearing a thin twill zuò shirt-like garment, which was loose and tough to protect from the sun and mosquito bites, and there were many buttoned pockets on the clothes, which were easy to pack, a type of clothing often worn by merchants in the summer. It is said that this kind of clothing was first used for summer training in the army, and later many people thought it was good, and began to supply it to the people.
A merchant looked up and saw that the road was surrounded by fields of harvested wheat, and the farthest people were a few hundred meters away. He was relieved and said to his companion in Japanese, "Kuroshima-kun, didn't Panasonic and their group bring back seeds last time?
"Stupid, you are not allowed to speak Japanese, you must speak Sichuanese," Kuroshima scolded his companion in a low voice, and immediately looked around vigilantly.
If that Feng Dashao was present at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize that this guy named Heidao was the military fan he had just met, a businessman from other places who claimed to be surnamed Ren.
