After a week of investigation, the other two were quickly eliminated. The consumption record of one of them shows that this person drinks rum in the cafe every day, and often drinks up the daily limit of rum. According to the reports of people around him, this person talks loudly and gives advice when he drinks. I also went crazy with alcohol several times. Such a person immediately loses the election. There is another person whose index is relatively average in all aspects, but has never held a management position. When Mingming interviewed him, he felt that all his intelligence concepts came from thriller novels such as oo7, and were full of fantasy.

The remaining candidate is Jiang Shan. His personal information is very long. Dai Xie, a representative of the Central Government Affairs Council, snorted after reading his information: "This is simply a standard version of the elite." Dai Xie is Ma Qianzhu's member of the Planning Commission. The old man Ma was transferred to the Central Government Affairs Council when the Planning Commission was reorganized into the Planning Council.

The information is very prominent: Jiang Shan, 33 years old, graduated with a master's degree in psychology (social psychology direction, a master's degree in economics and management (enterprise management direction), and a bachelor's degree in medicine (bioengineering direction). A family of traditional Chinese medicine (good at diagnosing pulses and prescribing prescriptions), and worked as an IBM marketer for two years. Marketing work experience, six years of engineering/business/planning/investment experience in a central power enterprise, served as project manager for a large-scale individual wind power project...comes from a family of airborne soldiers, and is familiar with small arms shooting and fighting skills.

"I think he is relatively suitable." Ming Lang said, "As the director, he is mainly engaged in intelligence analysis and administrative management. In terms of his professional and career status, he has great development potential."

His secret appraisal showed that this person was gentle and tough, soft on the outside and steel on the inside, with a calm and thoughtful mind. Generally speaking, he is a suitable leader.

As for the financial records, they are also very clean. Records show that this person rarely goes to cafes to drink, and his monthly circulation coupons are only used to buy snacks in the canteen, and he does not smoke at all.

People reported that this person was very willing to communicate with others, but never commented on current affairs.

"Comrade Jiangshan is here." The female clerk reported to him, and then he saw a man he had seen countless times in photos walking in. He weighed g and had a very well-proportioned figure, with broad shoulders and long legs, a typical Athlete's body, very healthy. The head is very short. Looks smart and capable.

Ming Lang thought that if he didn't have a round baby face and looked too delicate, he could have become a model of "pure Chinese" under the "New Chinese Order".

"Hello, Comrade Mingming." The visitor greeted him briskly with a hearty and comfortable smile. This person was wearing a flat, ironed training uniform with no mud at all and a smell of disinfectant. He now works in the laboratory of the Ministry of Health and is a member of the vaccine research team.

"Hello, please sit down." He leaned forward in his seat.

"The air here is really nice." Jiang Shan looked at the office with a heartfelt expression of praise.

"Where, where. Wherever the office is allocated is where it is." Ming Lang said.

He coughed, "I am entrusted by the Executive Committee and the Senate to announce to you-" He put down the document in his hand, "I will not read the official documents. I will inform you right now that you are now the Foreign Intelligence Service. He’s the deputy director—just a standing deputy director.”

"Thank you to the Executive Committee and the Senate for trusting me," his face showed pure excitement, "Of course, I also want to thank you..."

"No, this matter has nothing to do with me," Minglang quickly denied, "We handled it in accordance with organizational procedures."

"Shishan said another compliment, which unconsciously brought the relationship between the two people closer. It can be seen that this person has put some effort into Minglang - he has inquired about his family's situation clearly.

"No, no, you're over-praised," Ming Lang nodded and smiled politely. I've seen people like you a lot: you seem to be very good at getting along with others, but in fact you have very deep "abdominal skills". He is a person who is easy to deal with but difficult to deal with. "Of course, there is still a 7-day public notice period for your appointment. But since the appointment has been approved by the Senate, the public announcement is basically just a formality."

A few hours later, Jiang Shan arrived at his office. The Foreign Intelligence Service is a very cold organization - the so-called Intelligence Committee in the past was actually just a liaison meeting organization, with personnel from various foreign affairs departments regularly sending people to participate in exchanges and summaries. Most of the administrative work is performed by the Political and Security Administration. Now that a separate department has been established, all personnel from other agencies have been withdrawn. Jiang Shan became a polished commander.

The Foreign Intelligence Service did not even have its own independent compound. He only got a two-story building. The room was filled with sealed boxes of documents handed over from other departments. The most confidential part has not been sent yet, and he needs to go to various departments to retrieve it later.

Jiang Shan picked an office. He thought he had this power as the executive deputy director. The office was chosen at the bottom of the corridor on the second floor. The location was ideal, but the area was a bit larger. He thought that a conference room could be separated, which would be enough to convene people for meetings.

There is only a standard desk and a chair in this office. These are standard configurations. If he needs to "upgrade the configuration", he has to make an order and go to the office to apply.

There is no rush to buy someone now. Jiangshan thinks that the office will help him with the desks, chairs and furniture in the office. The first thing he needs to consider is manpower and organization. As the famous saying goes: "The main thing at work is personnel arrangements."

Jiang Shan has never done intelligence work, but everyone here starts from scratch, not to mention there is a powerful database for his reference. No matter how he configures it, it will not be worse than that of this time and space.

He straightened his thoughts and spread out a piece of white paper on the table. When doing something, the first thing is to know where your goals and positioning are? The intelligence department is a powerful department and an important component of a regime, but its status within "important" government departments can vary.

Leaving aside giants such as the CIA, the Red Army General Staff Intelligence Bureau, and mi5, what is the positioning of the foreign intelligence agencies of the Lingao regime? Or rather, where are the “enemies” of the future?

Jiang Shan knows very well that there are no friends in intelligence work. It is not uncommon in this industry for "friends" to install spies for each other. Needless to say, the French are the most loyal allies of the Yankees and the most loyal British. The maid is also very unlikely to give up on placing intelligence agents in the United States.

Who is the enemy of the Crossing Group? He first drew a flag on the white paper and wrote "Ming" on it, which is the Ming Dynasty; then he drew several iron anchors and wrote "Liu", "Zheng" and "Li" with arrows respectively; The three drawings were of a head with braids - this is Hou Jin; then he drew several pictures of three-masted ships and different flags: British, Spanish and Dutch. After thinking for a moment, he finally drew a head crown in the style of an ethnic minority, which is the local Li and Miao ethnic groups.

The first is the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt that although the Ming Dynasty’s national power is weak, it is still the number one opponent of the Crossing Group and the most dangerous opponent in terms of territory, population and economic strength. If Ming Dynasty were to get serious and deal with Lingao's regime with the same attention they paid to Hou Jin, they would face a great crisis.

Fortunately, Ming Dynasty's internal strife was very serious, and its energy was mainly consumed in internal friction. Coupled with its tragic financial situation, unless Chongzhen paid direct attention to the Hainan battlefield, they would not face too many challenges.

Since Daming is the main source of population and materials for the Crossing Group, and is also the key target of the Crossing Group's invasion, Daming is obviously the key target of the Crossing Group's intelligence work. He drew a "1" on the Ming Dynasty.

There is already a considerable foundation for the intelligence work of Ming Dynasty, especially the work of Guangzhou Station and Leizhou Station. The Guangzhou Station controlled the central activities of the whole province of Guangdong, while the Leizhou Station provided the possibility of early warning for the Ming Dynasty's large-scale six-sea attack on Lingao.

It's a pity that there are commercial departments behind the Guangzhou and Leizhou stations. Depending on what the executive committee wants, these two stations will still focus on trade rather than intelligence work in the future.

However, their existence provided a very good foundation for intelligence work. The Guangzhou Station was very effective in penetrating the Guangdong hub, and by controlling the Qiwei Escort Bureau, it gradually penetrated into many areas in Guangdong and neighboring provinces. With their support, intelligence agents can penetrate deeper.

After Jin, they do not have any interest relationship with the Time Travel Group. After Li Luoyuan arrives, Houjin may become a trading partner of the Crossing Group, but that's it. Hou Jin was regarded as a border threat by the Ming Dynasty, but was not worth mentioning to Lingao. This regime lacks people and is nothing more than a small, gangster-like local regime built on extreme oppression internally and relying on robbery externally. It is no threat to the Crossing Group in the near future. It is just a piece of cake for the long-term travel group to eliminate it. The intelligence activities on Houjin can be put at the end. He wrote a "5".

The pirate merchants along the coast of South China, represented by "Liu", "Zheng" and "Li", are now reaching the peak of their power. Zheng Zhilong, with his wealth and influence, is the biggest threat to the Crossing Group at sea. Fortunately, Li Kuiqi is there to contain him. He will not be a threat to the Crossing Group for the time being, and can only be regarded as a potential threat.

Liu Xiang is the most direct maritime threat to the Crossing Group. Moreover, he had already suffered a loss by colluding with the Spaniards against Lingao. To say he held a grudge would be an understatement.

Jiang Shan drew a "2" on the character "Liu".

Spain, Netherlands, Portugal and UK. These four are the main external forces on the seas of East and Southeast Asia. The British have the smallest influence in Southeast Asia. They only have business offices in India and Siam. Their strength is not strong, and they have already formed trade ties with the Crossing Group. It is not the focus of the work for the time being.

The Spaniards and the Portuguese were under the banner of the same king, but they had different plans. Their power along the coast of China is not very large, nor does they have much ambition. I just want to keep my own power. There will not be much threat to the crossing group. The Crossing Group does not want to capture Macau or Manila for the time being. The former is Europe's gateway to China, and the latter is a transfer station for silver imports. The Senate believes that it is better to let them continue to exist for the time being.

Jiang Shan believes that the Dutch are the most dangerous of the four foreign forces. This is not only because the Dutch are the strongest in Southeast Asia, but also because they are the most active and aggressive. If the Spanish's plan to conquer China is just a dream, then the Dutch have really considered this issue. He knew that the Dutch launched an expedition to the coast of China in 1622 with the real purpose of occupying colonies along the coast of China. However, it was later discovered that China was too large to achieve this goal, so it retreated from Penghu and went to Taiwan.

As for the Li and Miao people on the island, Jiangshan is put last: their strength is limited, and there are already two corresponding departments in charge. Both the Religious Affairs Office and the Li and Miao Affairs Office have done a lot for the Li and Miao people. Work. There is no need for me to get involved. I can just do the intelligence summary and analysis at most.

After sorting out the order of priority, he began to write the organizational structure-this will be reported to the Organization Office for review tomorrow. Jiang Shan thought twice and decided to establish an intelligence analysis department first - intelligence work first analyzes public information. There is no difference between the 21st century and the 17th century. Most intelligence can be obtained from public sources. The traveling group does not need to know the emperor's approval on the memorial. Under the conditions of productivity in ancient times, any action taken by the government could be quickly seen in the operation of the bureaucracy.

The plan he finally submitted included a total of five divisions: the first was the Domestic Division, which was responsible for the Ming government; the second was the Overseas Division, which targeted Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and British forces, and could be added later if necessary; The three divisions are responsible for various unclassified forces. At this stage, they are mainly targeting pirates and merchants along the coast of China, including Li Zicheng and other forces in the future; the intelligence analysis division is responsible for analyzing and summarizing the collected intelligence; the support division is responsible for providing intelligence Various support activities are provided.

An additional office will be set up to be responsible for all administrative personnel and archival work, as well as coordination work. Considering the existence of a cross-organizational institution like Guangzhou Leizhou, cross-department coordination work will definitely be very arduous.

His organizational plan was quickly approved, with the exception of the Support Office. The Executive Committee believes that the Foreign Intelligence Service can rely on the support of other departments to carry out activities. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, it can rely on the Ministry of Commerce, and if force is to be used, it can call in special reconnaissance teams. Jiang Shan knew that there was no need to argue on this issue. In the past, there were too many elders without positions, but now there are obviously too few.

He recruited the first senator. This person's name is Wang Ding. It seems to be to contrast with him. This person is 30 years old, about 1.6 meters tall, and has a popular face that you can't find in the crowd. However, Jiang Shan feels that this person has the advantage of engaging in intelligence work - first of all, he He doesn't like to talk, and secondly, his appearance is not eye-catching.

Moreover, he has also worked as a handyman in a powerful department. He has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away. When it comes to intelligence analysis, he is very clear-cut and has his own opinions.

Wang Ding was not well-known in Lingao, but when he saw Chang Shide prospering after being dispatched abroad, he began to think of becoming a dispatched intelligence officer.

"I think you'd better stay in the agency and become the director of the Intelligence Analysis Division." Jiang Shan said to him.

"But I would rather be sent abroad to serve the organization in places like Jiangnan..." Wang Ding had already had this intention. Go to Jiangnan to set up a small business as an information station, and then do business in silk tea and the like - this is all he knows about the specialties of Jiangnan. The eight beauties of Qinhuai were too expensive to care about, but it was okay to have a few beauties from Suzhou and Hangzhou as mistresses.

"Haha," Jiang Shan ruthlessly broke his dream, "don't you think that the people on the executive committee don't know? Look, anyone who can be sent to Jiangnan must make money and intelligence. The person chosen. Do you think you will be chosen?"

Of course not, this is something that is unthinkable. Wang Ding still has some self-knowledge.

"If you insist on being assigned abroad, it is more likely that you will be sent to Shaanxi or Liaodong."

"Forget it, I'll just be the director of this department." Wang Ding immediately stopped insisting on his request to be assigned abroad. He scratched his head and said, "I also did intelligence analysis back then, so I'm considered a semi-professional."

"That's right, let's be honest: what's the benefit of being an expatriate? Being separated from the core is not a good thing."

"Okay, okay, I will resolutely obey the organization's arrangements." Wang Ding said, "Tell me, what is the first thing our team should do?"

"Of course we need to find someone to be the director and office director, otherwise it won't work." Jiang Shan said, "But that's a story later. Let's talk about how to carry out intelligence work first."

"I'm in charge of intelligence analysis..."

"Come on, we are not the CIA here, and the rules are clearly divided. Now you are the only one of my staff." He took out a silver cigarette case, "Would you like a cigarette?"

Ding knew at a glance that these were not cigarettes produced locally in Lingao, but cigarettes from the old time and space. The cigarettes brought by private individuals had been basically used up in two years. Recently, some American cigarettes were distributed after the sunken ship was salvaged.

But when he took a closer look, he was surprised to see that it was a "Chinese" one. A Chinese cigarette is far more precious than a condom

"Do you still have China?"

"Yes, I brought some inventory, and it's well preserved. You can smoke it." Jiang Shan said, taking a pack of matches and lighting a fire for him.

Wang Ding was caught off guard and quickly took a puff, then slowly took a deep breath and spit it out.

"It's so refreshing, a real taste of the old time and space." Wang Ding said with a nostalgic look.

"Okay, tell me what you think." Jiang Shan put the cigarette case back into his pocket - in fact, he didn't smoke at all, and the purpose of bringing cigarettes was nothing more than public relations.

"Our intelligence work must be a vassal of trade activities at this stage. I think we should have a clear understanding of this." Wang Ding said, "On this point, we must first position ourselves." v! ~!
