"This matter requires the Executive Committee to come forward and hold a coordination meeting." Zhao Manxiong said, "It will be decided in the form of a formal document."
"I know, but there are some things that may not be possible just by relying on documents." Zhou Botao said. There are "close and intimate" cooperation, "dedicated efforts", and there are also "fake accidents". There is a lot of room for expansion and contraction. Documents
It is never possible to specify every detail of cooperation.
Zhou Botao calculated: The best thing to do in cooperation is the customs. The director of the customs, Ji An, was recommended by Ma Jia, and Ma Jia is the chief director of the General Administration of Political Security. As long as Ma Jia comes forward, no matter from the perspective of personal relations or official business,
Customs will do their best.
The customs has the registration of all incoming and outgoing goods, records of ships entering and exiting the port, and registration of personnel entering and exiting. It is a key link for the General Administration of Political Security to master local information.
There is no problem with the cooperation of the Bopu Police Station - after all, Ran Yao has a deep connection with the General Administration of Political Security. With the cooperation of the Police Station, both surveillance and operations will be very convenient.
The most difficult thing to deal with is the Port Affairs Office. This organization is actually controlled by the Navy. The Navy is very independent. Zhou Botao is worried about whether Li Di, the director of the Port Affairs Office, can be the same as the heads of other departments. Not to mention deliberately making things difficult, he just needs to show off his behavior.
The indifferent appearance is also difficult to deal with.
"Of course we must establish a collaboration mechanism." "Collaboration" cannot be achieved by just holding a meeting and issuing documents. Zhao Manxiong knows that the essence of collaboration is not empty words such as "sincere unity" and "the overall situation is the most important thing"
, but "profit sharing". If you want everyone to work together, you have to share the profits and performance together. You can't just think about others helping me and getting the credit.
Everyone had many ideas on how to establish this mechanism, but seeing the leader's calm and unfathomable appearance, everyone stopped asking questions. It is the basic principle of the General Administration of Political and Security not to ask questions if they shouldn't be asked.
The second focus of work proposed by Zhao Manxiong is the Nanbao area. Wu Fo raised objections: Although the Nanbao area is the land for the ore and forest resources of Chuanchuan Group and the window to Li District, it does not have much local population.
Bao Commune is mainly made up of miners and their families. Except for a small number of Li people who come to trade, there is almost no floating population. Moreover, the place is located inland, and the power of the Ming Dynasty is very weak. There is no need to focus on it.
"No matter how you look at it, the Dongmen City-Bairen Commune area should be more important. This is our 'capital' and an important industrial and agricultural base."
"Precisely because it is our 'capital', we don't need to focus our main energy here." Zhao Manxiong knew that Ran Yao had spent a lot of energy on the security of this area. He had formulated various rules and regulations and set up surveillance systems.
Hidden outpost. The Executive Committee itself has also placed a security company, police station and special investigation team here.
Of course the General Administration of Political Security can add icing on the cake, but this will only arouse the taboos of the elders.
"There should be areas for improvement—" Ufo argued.
"Of course, of course," Zhao Manxiong nodded, "but we can't let our whole family do the work."
"I see."
"Sooner or later, the problem of the Li District in Hainan Island will have to be solved," Zhao Manxiong said without answering his words. "To develop Hainan, we must control the Li District. This work must start from now on."
Li District is the heartland of Hainan Island. When the Crossing Group launches a mainland expedition in the future, Hainan Island must become the most reliable base. This base cannot be a ring zone with no strategic depth, let alone the danger of civil strife breaking out at all times.
.
If the Li people are incited by hostile forces - this is not impossible, people with a little bit of strategic ideas in the Ming government will not give up this possibility. The crossing group will immediately encounter the danger of being attacked from both sides. Then it will have to fall into a long-term
in the crusade.
The military power of the Li people is of course not worth mentioning, but once such insignificant force sets off a storm, it will seriously damage the base area that Chuan Chuan Group has worked so hard to manage, and at the same time, it will also restrain the already limited military power.
Currently working in Li District, there are the Li Miao Affairs Office and the Religious Office. Both of these agencies are penetrating into Li District. The former is mainly engaged in diplomatic and trade activities, while the latter has begun to carry out missionary activities, hoping to use religion to
means to enhance control over the Lebanese region.
Both departments have the responsibility of collecting political, economic, social, resource and force intelligence in the Lebanese region. However, Zhao Manxiong believes that the intelligence work of these two departments is very poor. Mu Min himself spends a lot of energy on police affairs
, and she has no enthusiasm for Li district affairs. Although she herself is of the Li ethnic group, in fact she basically knows nothing about the affairs of her own ethnic group.
At present, the main thing the Li Miao Affairs Office does is to organize trade and diplomatic activities in Li Dong. It should be said that the achievements are not small, but Zhao Manxiong believes that they have neglected intelligence collection in their work. So far, they have not been able to develop in Li Dong.
A stable and reliable source of information. Still rely on the few words of the Li people who come to trade and the information collected during regular caravans going to trade - this is not enough.
Mu Min's resignation gave the General Administration of Political and Security a great opportunity to intervene, and Zhao Manxiong certainly would not let it go.
As for the Religious Affairs Office, their intelligence and propaganda awareness are very strong - but they are powerless. There are no qualified personnel to dispatch, and even missionaries need to wait for the Jesuits to dispatch them. Missionaries are probably still on the way.
“At present, we cannot directly place personnel in the Li and Miao Affairs Office and the Religious Affairs Office, but we must also send a special commissioner to the Nanbao area to take charge of the work.” Zhao Manxiong said, “We must recruit and train local intelligence personnel who can penetrate into the Lebanese area.
The personnel, preferably Li people, should try to establish an intelligence network in the Lebanese area."
"Shouldn't the Foreign Intelligence Agency be responsible for providing external intelligence?" Wu Mu asked hesitantly.
"Li District cannot be considered 'outside' - on the contrary, it is our core area in the future, with strategic depth." Zhao Manxiong said.
"If that's the case, does our bureau have the right to conduct intelligence collection activities on the entire Hainan Island?" Zhou Botao asked.
Zhao Manxiong nodded: "We should and must carry out some work in enemy areas and establish our own intelligence network."
In order to separate it from the "work network" operating in his own area, he named the intelligence network deployed in enemy-occupied areas "reconnaissance network."
The investigation network in Zhao Manxiong's plan is set up in the "yellow zone". According to the color alert standards of the Crossing Group, the green zone is an absolutely safe zone - only Bairencheng, Bopu Camp and Gaoshanling Camp meet this standard.
Within an area, travelers do not need to carry weapons at any time, do not need to be on alert, and can walk freely and safely day and night; the blue zone is a basically safe area controlled by the group, and travelers can travel in groups of two or three as long as they carry weapons.
Traveling in groups during the day, no force escort is required. For example, Lingao County, several communes, and Dongmen City; the blue zone is the ruling area that the crossing group can control. Security in this area cannot be guaranteed, and attacks may occur at any time.
Not only do the travelers have to travel together, but they also need to be equipped with a large number of escorts, which is roughly equivalent to other areas in Lingao.
The yellow zone, orange zone and red zone belong to "enemy-occupied areas". The yellow zone is a place bordering the crossing group, where the enemy's ruling power is not strong and we have strong influence and execution, such as the current northern part of Hainan Island
All states, counties and Li districts belong to the yellow zone; the orange zone is the place where the enemy's rule is strong and we have no influence, such as the mainland; and the red zone is the core area of the enemy's rule, such as the provincial capital, the capital, etc.
The investigation network of the General Administration of Political Security will be deployed in the yellow zone - Zhao Manxiong does not intend to intervene further. He does not want to risk offending the future director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, and he does not have such many resources at all. He only wants to
Can be satisfied with relatively simple goals: the first is to provide the crossing group with early warning information of enemy attacks, and the second is to collect local information in case the crossing group attempts to occupy this area to prepare intelligence. This includes social, military, political, and economic
In other aspects, once the Crossing Group officially occupies this area, it will have enough information to start social reforms and eliminate potential dangerous elements.
After the meeting, Zhao Manxiong went to Ma Jia and discussed with him some opinions on establishing a strong internal security coordination mechanism. As the official director, Ma Jia was of course bound to implement it, so he proposed this plan at the working meeting of the executive committee.
This proposal eventually led to the establishment of the "Internal Security Conference" mechanism - but it is more familiar as the eight-member conference. Its name comes from the departments participating in the conference: General Administration of Political Security, Arbitral Tribunal Investigation and Execution Bureau, Army,
The Navy, Foreign Intelligence Service, National Police, Customs, and Cheka. At the meeting, the relevant departments exchanged information from the previous week, opinions and views on the current security situation, and informed the work of each department in the next week. When collaboration is needed,
Communicate at meetings. This is much more efficient than calling or visiting each other between department heads. Moreover, meeting records are archived. If you have any questions, you can directly query the files. Any questions can be clearly understood at a glance.
At the first internal security meeting, the newly promoted members of the Transcendence Corps learned of a top-secret incident that shocked them: the "Dongsha Island American Shipwreck Incident," also known as the "A Incident."
The American fishing boat that sank on the reef of Dongsha Island has been the top secret of the Crossing Group since the day it was discovered, even more secret than the origin of the Crossing Group. Information about the incident has been blocked, and senior officials are no exception -
It was only discovered that the parties involved in the survey of the fishing boats and a few executive committee members knew that the relevant reports and information were not filed in the files of the General Administration of Political and Security, but were stored in the confidential archives of the executive committee office - where top-secret documents are stored.
