Unlike the "agents" in movies and TV shows who kill and cause big explosions from time to time, the actual agents are low-key and careful in their work.
Exciting shootout? Cool explosion? This is because I think I have a long life.
The duty of intelligence agencies is to collect intelligence. If there is an assassination mission, they generally will not carry out the assassination mission themselves. Instead, they will outsource it and hire other people to perform the mission.
For example, the driver Mr. Lev who was assassinated with an ice pick in Mexico was a hired Spaniard. Another example is the assassination of Vladimir in history, which was done by instigating right-wing elements in Tsarist Russia.
Only in times of war do intelligence agencies take action in person, and usually they choose to start over again and set up a separate special operations agency to do that kind of thing - during the war, the United Kingdom established the Special Operations Office (SOE) to carry out this task. Sabotage mission behind enemy lines.
Some time ago, the raid on the Nujiang Steel Cable Bridge was a typical failed attempt. Although the British had made relatively sufficient preparations - mainly agents who had undergone combat training, and with the help of Liu Wanyun's team of informants, they jointly Perform raid missions.
In this era before special forces were born, it was difficult to carry out such a mission.
This is true in the UK, and so is the Ming Dynasty.
Although the foreign factory and the intelligence office of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion have determined to kill Chai Guoyi, what should they do?
Everyone has put forward several plans, but they were all rejected one after another after discussion.
In fact, many agents are valuable talents with a high level of education. Nearly half of the agents in the Metropolitan Government Intelligence Office have university degrees. What kind of training do they receive?
Anti-tracking, anti-surveillance, psychological games, rebellion techniques, makeup, use of communication equipment, use of passwords, language, culture, etc. The combat training they received was limited to rapid fire with pistols at a distance of ten meters and fighting with daggers.
How can these people be used to confront others head-on?
Now the villa arranged by the British for Chai Guoyi's family is under strict protection. It is only half a road away from a police station; at the same time, two blocks away, there is a military camp of the Dutch East Indu Army, where there is a vacancy. infantry battalion.
How to kill him?
"This is really tricky."
In the morning, in a room of the Intelligence Department, six or seven people sat around a table with more than a dozen pieces of paper spread out on it. The drawing board hanging on the opposite wall was also full of words and marks.
Someone joked: "Seriously, if we had half the abilities in the movie, we wouldn't be so entangled."
The person who was drinking tea next to him almost spit out the tea when he heard this. He coughed a few times and said, "Ahem...don't say half of it, just...ahem...even if it's 20%, we can kill that kid tomorrow, and then take care of the whole body And retreat.”
The movie mentioned by several people present refers to "The Storm of the Imperial Guard", which was recently released in Ming Dynasty. The film is one and a half hours long and tells the story of the family of a small banner official of the Imperial Guard.
The first half of the story is during the Wanli period of Ming Shenzong, on the eve of the expedition to aid the Korean Dynasty. A group of Jin Yiwei disguised themselves as businessmen and went to the Japanese country to collect intelligence. During the period, martial arts scenes were inevitable.
The second half is about the Imchen War tomorrow under the rule of Ming Zhezong decades ago. The protagonist is the dozen-generation grandson of the Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi. He is also performing the same tasks as his ancestors, and there are also many scenes of fighting and killing.
Although it is not consistent with the facts, people like this very much. Who doesn't like exciting and hearty fighting scenes?
Employees and agents from the foreign factory and the Metropolitan Government's Intelligence Office also organized a group to watch the movie in their spare time, which was considered a fun experience.
"The protection is so tight, it's impossible to find any omissions and fish in troubled waters. Unless we wait for a long time and they relax, we can act better."
"Normally speaking, that is the best, but you must know that Chai Guoyi still has many secrets, and this person must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Chai Guoyi is not stupid. If he spits out all the information he knows, wouldn't he be worthless?
So in order to avoid being abandoned by the British early, he naturally kept some in his stomach and revealed a little bit every once in a while.
"If you want to kill him as soon as possible, then you have to use extraordinary means... a forceful raid, plowing the court like thunder and sweeping out the holes." Shen Yu, who had been silent as a bystander, suddenly suggested.
"Forced raid?" A person next to him said in surprise: "There are colonial military police nearby. What are you thinking!"
Shen Yu glanced at him and said calmly: "This is the only way. Is there any other way to kill him in the short term?"
Everyone was silent, and the six or seven people in the room were thinking about something.
"Who should organize this? Our people are not suitable for this kind of thing."
"Indeed, to do this... you have to call the army to do it."
"Currently, no country in the world has the troops to do this kind of thing. If the results are outstanding, we might as well set a precedent?"
After some discussion, everyone agreed that this was indeed the only feasible way.
So the question now becomes how to organize such a team so that they can escape smoothly after killing thieves for thousands of miles.
After discussion, everyone decided that the Intelligence Division would take the lead and temporarily organize a team capable of carrying out this arduous task.
"It's easy to find personnel. There are a lot of people with great powers in the army, but the leader... must be smart and courageous, and have rich experience to deal with unexpected events. How should we find them?"
"And the level is neither too low nor too high. Lieutenant and captain are more suitable."
"Wait a minute, this is Dutch territory. It's best to know a foreign language."
The Ming army has not fought a major battle in so many years. At most, it only had small fights with Tsarist Russia on the northwest border. How can it be so easy to find a junior officer who meets so many requirements?
The war in Uzang is not over yet, the confrontation is still going on, and the troops participating in the war have naturally not returned.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Shen Yu said leisurely: "I have a candidate, it depends on whether you dare or not. He generally meets the requirements, but..."
Several people's eyes turned over at the same time, and two of them asked in unison: "Just what?"
"It's just that his rank is a little higher."
"Major?"
"yes."
"That's fine, it's harmless."
"Actually... there is still a question." Shen Yu added.
Hello! If you have something to say, just say it in one breath!
An intelligence officer who was speechless complained: "Shen, can we stop talking and take a breath? What else is wrong?"
Shen Yu, who had always been calm and relaxed, was a little embarrassed at this moment. He coughed dryly and said: "Uh... he is from the Forbidden Army."
The few people present were very sophisticated, and after the scope was narrowed down to such a small area, they immediately knew who the person he was referring to was.
"Are you sure that person will agree? He has only been in the line of fire for a few days, and he has just emerged from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again?"
