Chapter 1914 Efficient Operation

In this era of extremely inconvenient transportation and communication, planning and arranging a long-distance trip for a team requires repeated coordination among multiple departments. This can be said to be a quite complex project, and the preparation work requires a lot of time.

The time is likely to be similar to the actual itinerary. However, Haihan has a specially formulated action plan and a good communication mechanism, which greatly reduces the time spent in the preparation stage. It only takes two or three days to complete the planning of the itinerary to the actual trip.

The whole process.

This ability to operate efficiently is not innate. It was originally designed to meet the needs of Haihan senior officials for temporary business trips. Sometimes they have to go to areas outside Sanya to handle some official business, but if they have to wait first

It takes ten days and a half to arrange the itinerary, and the day lilies are probably cold. Therefore, it is imperative to formulate a quick travel plan. Then, after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs revised and improved the travel plan of senior officials from Haihan, it was used in foreign countries.

The visit and inspection itinerary of dignitaries has been arranged.

Of course, even if Haihan has an action plan and corresponding experience, such a slightly hasty preparation time will still inevitably have some imperfections. For example, the number of people traveling in North Korea must be limited to eight people, otherwise he will be responsible for

It will be difficult to accommodate official personnel from both sides on the passenger ship. In addition, although the North Koreans chose this itinerary, the inspection projects in various places along the way are basically universal. No matter who comes, they will see these.

project, there was no time to truly customize the inspection content for Li Mu.

In addition to these travel arrangement problems, security work actually also has some hidden dangers due to this haste. Since it is a temporarily arranged task, entourage personnel and local personnel involved in reception work are often recruited temporarily.

, the screening and review process of personnel will be relatively rough, and it will be difficult to keep the itinerary completely confidential.

If a high-ranking official from Haihan is traveling, another set of more rigorous mechanisms will be activated to ensure the personal safety of important people. However, North Korea has never been active in the south, and no one in the South China Sea seems to be unfavorable to the prince of North Korea, so security

The standard is to follow the basic level of receiving foreign dignitaries in normal times, and no special arrangements are made.

And having said that, Haihan officials may not take the initiative to keep this matter secret. The crown prince of Joseon came all the way to visit Haihan Kingdom. As long as it is slightly processed, it can be an excellent propaganda material. Naturally, the relevant departments will not let it go easily.

opportunity. The progress of the Propaganda Department is almost as good as that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Before Song Yongan handed over the itinerary plan, it was determined that an official and a Times reporter would be sent to accompany him throughout the trip, so that he could report to Li Bo as soon as possible.

Record the trip, and then send the manuscript back to Sanya by telegraph, so that the trip can be reported simultaneously in newspapers published during this period to ensure maximum timeliness.

When Li Meng was leisurely wandering around the embassy studying Haihan readings, he had no idea that because of this impromptu itinerary, how many departments and related people were suddenly in high speed, preparing for the trip that was about to leave the next day.

Make arrangements and make preparations. Although there may only be a hundred or so people accompanying you, the number of people who need to be mobilized and coordinated with the travel plan is at least several times that of the accompanying people.

Relatively speaking, the preparations for the North Korean Embassy are much simpler. Basically, they only need to prepare a change of clothes and personal belongings for this trip, and there is almost no need to worry about other things. All food, accommodation, and travel in Haihan

Unless they are not satisfied with Haihan's arrangement, they have to pay for better treatment out of their own pockets - this possibility is of course very slim for the North Koreans who are strapped for funds.

As for Haihan's request to limit the number of people traveling in North Korea to less than eight people, Li Bo didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, it was Haihan who paid for it, and with his shrewdness, he would not spend it on irrelevant entourage.

There were too many. He and Li Xi would definitely take up two places, and the remaining six places were agreed upon in a few words - two armed guards and four attendants to take care of daily life.

Naturally, this pitifully small inspection team can hardly have any prestige at all. However, all relevant departments in Haihan will send officials to accompany them throughout the entire process, which can somewhat make up for the lack of ceremonial guard.

"Although no senior officials from Haihan accompanied us on this trip, the fact that there were so many accompanying officials from various departments of Haihan shows its sincerity."

Early the next morning, Li Bo saw the itinerary sent by Haihan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which included Haihan's official official list of accompanying officials, and made a few comments. Although he was not sure whether the official position marked in the document was high.

It is low, but when you see the many departments marked, you can also feel the importance Haihan officials attach to this matter.

Li Xi responded: "The Haihan people are indeed very thorough in their preparations. They have considered all aspects, and they can arrange all these things within two days. This efficiency is quite amazing."

The level is not enough, so the number of people has to be made up. Although the senior officials of Haihan have no time to accompany Li Shu to complete this inspection, the attention of each department has only increased, because the executive committee has issued a letter overnight, notifying all departments to seriously cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Arrangements were made to ensure that the Prince of Joseon's trip could be completed smoothly. And the most reliable way to ensure it was to send someone to accompany him so that various problems that might arise along the way could be solved in a timely manner.

Execution ability is undoubtedly the biggest difference between the administrative systems of Haihan and North Korea. With so many departments having to coordinate their actions, it would take at least ten days and a half to complete the process in North Korea, but Haihan's efficiency far exceeds that.

At this level, Li Fu only saw the importance the other party attached to it, while Li Xi, who was more familiar with the operation of officialdom, realized the operational efficiency of government agencies such as Haihan.

After being reminded by Li Xi, Li Bo immediately realized what he had missed, nodded and said: "You are right, if our country can also have such efficiency, then I don't need to wait when I go abroad this time.

It’s been so long.”

In order to make preparations for his study abroad trip, Li Bo's departure from Seoul was postponed again and again. It took him almost a month before he finally packed up and set off. If he could work with Haihan's efficiency, he would surely have the time to prepare.

At least it can be shortened by more than half.

Li Bo also recalled that Haihan sent troops to North Korea this year, and the preparation time was very short. From Li Xi's request to the Executive Committee to Haihan sending troops, it only took a few days. Why is Haihan's official operation efficiency so high?

, but it is also a topic worth spending time to study.

While Li Bo was thinking about this issue, Ning Qi was reviewing the itinerary and expense budget sent by Song Yongan. Ning Qi had no objection to the cost. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spent a lot of money on welcoming guests every year.

, but the effect is obvious. Haihan's international influence and status have shown a rising trend year by year. In addition to the role played by more intuitive means such as force and trade, the various tasks completed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot be ignored. Arrangements

Although the cost for the Joseon Crown Prince's team to conduct an island tour is not low, if it can have a certain positive impact on him and further enhance the Joseon Crown Prince's perception of Haehan, then the money spent will be worthwhile.

Ning Qi looked at the budget amount, and when he was about to sign, he remembered something. He turned to the list of entourage in front and read it again. Then he put down the pen in his hand and made a phone call.

"Lao He, have you been notified about the Prince of Korea's inspection trip? I checked the list of accompanying officials in the newspaper and there is no one from your side, so I called you to confirm."

"I've received the notice, but I don't have suitable field personnel here for the time being. Aren't the executive committee going to inspect the Qiongzhong Mountain Area next? All the capable forces I have on hand have been sent to check for safety hazards. Here in Sanya

Basically they are all civilian staff, what do you think we should do?"

"If you are a civilian, just be a civilian. Anyway, there will be armed guards from the military following you all the way. There shouldn't be any big problems with security. You can just transfer a young man of the same rank to your side. This will also make it easier to contact your local agencies.

.”

"A young man of the same level? Then we can only ask Zhang Qianzhi to make a trip. He happens to be relatively familiar with Qiongbei."

"Okay, then I will add him to the list of accompanying officials first."

Ning Qi put down the phone and took up a pen to add another line at the end of the list of accompanying officials - Security Department: Zhang Qianzhi.

The person on the phone with him was the Minister of Security, He Xi. Generally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not interfere in the work assignment arrangements of the Ministry of Security, but Ning Qi believed that the Ministry of Security would rarely be absent from tasks of this nature in the past, so he made a call.

He Xi confirmed whether there was a problem with information communication. They unanimously believed that there were no security issues with the Prince of Korea's inspection trip, so He Xi did not even plan to send anyone to accompany him at the beginning. Although Ning Qi insisted on sending someone,

But I also feel that there is no need to make too much of a fuss, as long as the meaning is achieved.

As for arranging for Zhang Qianzhi to accompany him, Ning Qi thought it was very suitable. Zhang Qianzhi was He Xi's beloved disciple and had made several great contributions on the security front. Now he had a high status in the security department, which was exactly what Ning Qi chose.

Conditions for accompanying officials. Moreover, Zhang Qianzhi served in Danzhou in his early years and is indeed familiar with the situation in the Qiongbei area. This advantage may not be comparable to those field personnel with stronger skills.

He Xi hung up the phone and called the secretary in: "Go and notify Section Chief Zhang and ask him to prepare for a business trip. For the specific arrangements... ask him to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find Minister Ning to inquire."

If it were another person, He Xi would definitely not give such an order and ask his subordinates to contact Ning Qi directly. That is to say, Zhang Qianzhi is in a special situation and is familiar with the big guys in the executive committee, so he can make such a joke.

Of course, even if Zhang Qianzhi received this order, he would not go to Ning Qi foolishly. There are officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who are responsible for external relations coordination, and Zhang Qianzhi would know who to go to.

It took some time to get the errand notification to Zhang Qianzhi, because he did not work in the small gray building of the Security Department today, but went to Victory Port to investigate a smuggling-related case. In fact, it is not the Security Department's responsibility to investigate such cases.

For work, the Port Management Committee has a special anti-smuggling department, and the reason why the security department was notified to participate in the investigation is because some of the goods detected by the anti-smuggling department are somewhat special in source, and the security department needs to send people to check them.

Confirm whether it touches the scope of national security.

Because Zhang Qianzhi participated in solving the Spanish espionage case three years ago, he has always had a good relationship with the Victory Port Management Committee. In addition, many field personnel from the Ministry of Security have been transferred out of Sanya recently, so this job fell to him.

Of course, there is another reason unknown to the outside world, and that is that this case investigation seems to have a vague connection with Spain.

There was a drunkard in a tavern near the port who had no money to pay the bill, so he took out a bag of spices and tried to settle the bill with the boss. In fact, this happened often, so the tavern owner took the spices to a nearby spice shop to settle the bill.

As a result, the clerk at the spice shop recognized that this was a special kind of pepper produced in Mindanao, and suggested that the tavern owner first inquire about the origin of this thing, because the origin of this thing is likely to come from a local place in Spain.

colonial area.

Haihan just fought a big war with Spain at the beginning of the year, and the grievances between the two countries were naturally known to everyone. The tavern owner was worried about getting into trouble, so he decisively went to the port center to report the case. After the port center confirmed the variety of this pepper, he also

Not daring to neglect, he notified the Anti-Smuggling Team and the Security Department of the Port Management Committee, and also asked the police station to come forward and bring back the drunkard who owed money.

However, the drunkard's interrogation did not yield much information. He only remembered that one night a few days ago, he boldly boarded a boat docked at the dock, hoping to steal something valuable in exchange for alcohol.

But in a hurry, he only grabbed a package of goods in the dark. As for what the ship looked like, which dock it was at, or even the specific night of the day, this guy couldn't remember anything.

If what the drunkard said is true, then it is completely unknown where the ship came from, where the goods on the ship came from, and whether the goods were sold and left the Port of Victory. However, for investigators, they can investigate

The clues came not only from this drunkard.

"Pepper is not a banned commodity locally, but pepper produced in Spain is a different matter. Everyone here should know the reason. I want to know if there are really spice dealers who plan to sell spices produced in Spanish-controlled areas locally.

pepper, can you find any clues in the market?" Zhang Qianzhi proposed an investigation idea to the investigators present.

In order to hit the Spanish economy as much as possible, after this year's Battle of Manila, Haihan has ordered a ban on the sale of various commodities and raw materials produced in the Spanish-controlled areas on the market, and spices are naturally included in this. This is why

After the variety of this pepper is identified, the tavern owner will immediately report the reason.
