Why does everyone have to embark on this road of infinite expansion? Yi Fan concluded that the main reason is that the Senate is quite unclear about the positioning and tasks of foreign stations.
Most overseas stations are agencies that integrate intelligence, commerce, administration, logistics and even military affairs. Although in terms of organizational structure, they are under the dual jurisdiction of the Ministry of Colonization and Trade and the Foreign Intelligence Service, such as Jeju Island and Kaohsiung.
In some places, they are still under the leadership of the People's Committee for Civil Affairs, but in actual operations, almost all agencies under the Executive Committee have business contacts with foreign stations.
Such business contacts are not limited to the executive committee level. In fact, there are more and more frequent business contacts between various overseas stations and the ministries and commissions offices in Lingao. Almost all the ministries and commissions offices in Lingao have sent letters to the overseas stations.
Documents and instructions. The foreign station in Lingao's political system is a typical Kowloon water control situation, where everyone can manage but no one is responsible.
Yi Fan took advantage of the opportunity of auditing the current accounts to personally conduct a business contact investigation on Kaohsiung Station, and found that almost all central agencies in Lingao, without exception, had business contacts with Kaohsiung Station. Even though Kaohsiung is not currently assigned to the machinery industry
production tasks, but in the name of ship maintenance, Kaohsiung Station still requires the Machinery Department to set up a local machinery manufacturing plant of considerable scale.
If we want to talk about violations, the establishment of a mechanical repair shop in Kaohsiung is itself a violation - because it does not exist in Kaohsiung's basic project preparation, but this project still received additional recognition because it is an important task among the tasks assigned to Kaohsiung.
A population and cargo transshipment base and a major naval port.
Now that we have the positioning of a home port, ship repair and ship maintenance will involve some mechanical manufacturing and maintenance needs. In this way, it is logical to set up a machinery factory in Kaohsiung, and the Planning Institute has to add additional projects.
By extension, there are other aspects. The latest industrial construction project in Kaohsiung is a sulfur refinery. At the same time, it also needs to support the expansion of trade with the indigenous people in the mountainous areas. This project was not originally included in the specific planning of Kaohsiung construction. In fact, it was suddenly proposed.
It is directly related to the industrial port. The chemical industry urgently needs a large amount of sulfur to expand sulfuric acid production. The supply of local Wanning pyrite in Hainan has been nearly exhausted. The only way to supply a large amount of sulfur in the short term is through Japan’s foreign trade channels.
Obtained from Taiwan. As a result, Kaohsiung, which originally planned to focus on shipping ports and agricultural development, has the resource task of sulfur collection.
Since the responsibilities and positioning of overseas stations are ambiguous, there are no specific regulations to stipulate how the liaison and cooperation between overseas stations and ministries and commissions offices should be run. This gives the veterans of overseas stations a great deal of confidence.
The large space for power operation makes it become an inertial measure for the operation of overseas stations to get on the train first and then pay for tickets. Various ministries and commissions regard overseas stations as "test fields" and a good place to expand the performance of their departments. For overseas stations
This kind of approach is to provide covert support. However, the overseas stations have been short of talents, materials and funds for a long time, and they have a very welcoming attitude towards any "business" from the ministries and commissions, and will even take the initiative to find projects for feedback.
Submit it to the ministry.
The tasks assigned by the Executive Committee to the foreign stations are too large and broad, and the resources given to them are quite few. Some tasks require a large investment of funds and manpower, and only a small amount of allocation is simply not enough. However, the foreign stations need to apply for additional investment.
Not only is the approval process long, but the number is also very limited. As a result, in order to improve performance, there will be a situation of "not providing resources but policies". Yifan believes that this is the most dangerous.
History has proven that "policies of not providing resources but providing resources" are often the birthplace of many ills. Many of the criticized problems in another time and space were accumulated from the "policies of providing resources".
Although Yifan calls himself a "Cheka", he is still an accountant at heart. Cook as much rice as you can according to your ability. This has always been his guiding ideology. But the overall situation in Lingao now is like the "Great Leap Forward".
Manpower, materials, funds and equipment all pay attention to "maximizing efficiency". In fact, the game is like eight jars and seven lids. From the central to the local government, it is all a trick of a white wolf. As the saying goes, if something is good above, it will be effective below.
Of.
For problems with foreign stations, the main responsibility lies with the Executive Committee and the Senate. If the basic relationships of affiliation, power and responsibilities of foreign stations are not straightened out, no matter how much rectification is done, it will not be effective. Replacement of people or abolition of projects will not be effective.
This is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. First of all, direct business contacts between overseas stations and central ministries and commissions should be prohibited; secondly, clear regulations should be made on the positioning and mission objectives of each overseas station, and no projects should be undertaken on their own in violation of regulations - especially
These are those self-financed projects that "look beautiful". Sometimes they do not hesitate to shrink some projects.
However, to convince the Executive Committee and the Senate to make large-scale adjustments, sufficient materials are needed. Yifan considered that this inspection would first focus on cleaning up illegal projects at foreign stations.
"In short, the problem of the foreign stations is the problem of the system." Yifan roared in his cabin.
"Chief, this is a notice from the general office." Feng Hua sent the latest stack of letters and telegrams to his desk.
"Thank you, go and call Zhao Tong."
"He's already here and waiting outside."
"Let him in."
Zhao Yingong was a little frustrated as he watched the "power on" signal placed at the top of the office for the foreign station. Without opening it, he knew that this was a notification that the inspection team had set off.
He had already known the news that the inspection team was coming: Lingao had been communicating with him through private letters, and he had always been very aware of the movements of the Executive Committee and the Senate.
Overall, the situation is not good, especially since Hao Yuan, the culprit, has not yet been caught.
He sighed and opened the telegram. When he saw that the leader was Yi Fan, he immediately shuddered.
He was not familiar with Yi Fan, but his famous saying of "pulling out the senators and shooting them" was well known to him. It made it clear that people who are determined to stain their heads with blood are the most terrifying. Then he saw Dai Xie again. Immediately
Unpleasantly, he thought of his position. Finally, he finally saw a relatively insignificant name, but when he saw "General Administration of Political Security", his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This combination really makes people unable to calm down. "Isn't this just going to double-regulate me?" Zhao Yingong secretly worried.
He continued to read. The inspection route reported by the inspection team was: Kaohsiung-Hangzhou-Shandong-Jeju Island-Japan-Guangzhou-Leizhou
The first inspection location was not in Hangzhou, and before Zhao Yingong could continue to sip the flavor inside, Zhao Tong had already walked in.
"How's it going?"
"We haven't found the wanted person yet," Zhao Tong said. "All of us have been sent out. The arrest documents have also been distributed in the Yamen. Shadows and figures are being drawn everywhere to arrest them. However, the sticky pole is already in Jia Le.
Cao Guangjiu and 'Shi Weng' have found some valuable clues and are investigating."
"If he remains trapped in the city of Hangzhou, we won't be able to catch him no matter how hard we try." Zhao Yingong frowned and said, "Where are the clues from the bodyguard?"
"We have found some materials about them in Hangzhou and sent them to the Capital Station, but they haven't given us a specific reply yet." Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment and then said, "But it is best for us to send people to investigate this matter ourselves."
"You write a report to the Intelligence Bureau, explain the current situation and our plans, and apply for sending someone to the capital. I won't say whether the recent things can be completed, the procedures must be complete!"
"yes."
"Okay, you go first, we need to hurry up on these things!" Zhao Yingong touched his head, but there was no progress at all. He thought about it and picked up a bunch of private messages under the message. Out of confidentiality requirements, the private messages between the elders were on the cover.
The names of the recipients and senders are not signed, only the recipients are indicated by code names.
He has never had so many private messages. Zhao Yingong has a wide range of contacts in Lingao. After being assigned abroad, he tried to keep in touch with his acquaintances in Lingao. Therefore, he exchanged many private messages. But recently, the number of private messages from Lingao suddenly increased significantly.
There are more. Some are familiar, some are unfamiliar, and some are simply anonymous letters.
Someone who directly signed the name "an upright elder" came directly to scold him: "Well, you Zhao Yingong, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, Emperor Zhao, what kind of mess have you done in Hangzhou? You don't distinguish between priorities, putting the cart before the horse, making your own decisions, and being self-righteous.
, and those native officials and gentry who spend their days drinking and living like dogs, don’t forget your identity, let alone your mission, touch your pig head and think about it, what is your real mission? Well, let’s not talk about other missions first, you
Eunuch Zhao is guarding Hangzhou, the place with the richest beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, but he has made no achievements in maid procurement. You yourself are on a first-come-first-served basis. I heard that you have hundreds of babies trained in so-called kindergartens? You
What do you mean? Do you want to be alone or do you want to create a personality cult and start your own business? Why don't these hundreds of children be sent to Lingao? Is the teaching level of Lingao Fangcaodai worse than your kindergarten? It's really not true that you occupy the latrine and don't shit.
It’s unfair to accuse you. Look at how poor Quark is. A slave trader traveled thousands of miles and spent the same time transporting nearly two hundred "ocean horses" to the Senate. What about you? You still have the nerve to brag and complain about injustice..."
Someone made a rational suggestion: "In order to carry out the work of the Hangzhou Station smoothly, reduce unnecessary resistance in Lingao and gain the support of more people, it is recommended that Comrade Zhao Yingong vigorously purchase virgins who meet the aesthetics or special tastes of the elders and hire famous prostitutes from Jiangnan.
Training and training by famous bustard masters (it’s best to keep one or two bound feet, there are elders who are good at this). Our purpose is to protect Chinese classical beauties and preserve the traditional elegant culture with world heritage significance. You know the specific requirements and standards..."
