At first, the CIA was just the execution hall under Xiao Letian. It was an important department he used for internal punishment and external punishment. At the beginning, there were only a few dozen people in the execution hall, but it was under Xiao Letian's attention that The torture hall expanded rapidly and soon exceeded a thousand in size.
The Chinese attach great importance to intelligence work. In Xiao Letian's mind, the importance of the intelligence front is even more important than that of the navy. When Xiao Letian was still very weak, it was his strong intelligence ability that allowed him to stand between the various forces of the Qing Dynasty. Seek balance and survive.
Inquiring into the intelligence of the Manchu Qing court, digging into the Manchu bureaucrats at the county level, searching for and rescuing orphans from the Kingdom of Heaven to support people, and even assassinating some key figures, all require the continuous expansion of the Xingtang's power.
It wasn't until Xiao Letian officially became the Prime Minister of Ryukyu that this name with the flavor of a gangster gang was thrown into the old pile, and was replaced by the foreign name of CIA.
When the CIA was established, Ryukyu was completely controlled by Xiao Letian, and Letian Bank had begun to make money day by day. With sufficient financial support, the CIA's power was further strengthened.
How many employees does the CIA have? In fact, not even Wang Huaiyuan knows the exact number, because many black forces in the Manchu Qing Dynasty have been infiltrated by the CIA.
For example, many of the gangs that live on the Grand Canal, such as the Yan Gang and Cao Gang, have already had their hearts changed and are already subordinate units controlled by the CIA.
Ranging from hundreds to thousands, these gangsters, whose number is variable, form the outermost forces of the CIA.
There are even many strangers in the world, including the bandits who dominate the mountains. Many of them are intelligence officers with secret orders from the CIA. Their forces are naturally controlled by Wang Huaiyuan.
Is one hundred thousand people really that many? In fact, it's not much at all. If this development trend continues, 200,000, 300,000, or even over one million will not be a dream.
Such a huge force has formed its own small society and a small economy. They secretly collude with each other to conduct secret trade, and many smuggling activities are one of their important sources of funds.
Emperor Tongzhi, including the empress dowagers of the two palaces, had no idea that one-third of the opium smoked by the men of the Four Nine Cities and Eight Banners was grown and refined by people from the CIA, and then labeled as Indian horseshoe soil to deceive these two people. Fool.
With guns, money, and people... the CIA has become the largest organization in the Chinese community, and Wang Huaiyuan has become the second most powerful person in the Chinese community that no one can shake.
It's not that Wang Huaiyuan doesn't understand the principle of being in a high place, but he has the energy of Zhuge Liang to work hard and sacrifice his life to help. It is this selfless dedication that makes him gain Xiao Letian's trust and respect.
He never expected that he would hear such words from Sima Yun today. At that moment, a trace of worry that had been hidden deep in his heart for many years suddenly occupied his entire consciousness.
It's not that he didn't understand everything Sima Yun said, but he was just deceiving himself. He anesthetized himself again and again and told himself that Xiao Letian was not that kind of leader, and that the historical tragedy of cunning rabbits dying and lackeys cooking would not happen to him. .
After all, they all started from the Four Books and Five Classics, and Zizhi Tongjian has been read many times. It is not that Wang Huaiyuan is unaware of all the darkness in history, but he just feels in his heart that Xiao Letian is not that kind of person.
But today, Sima Yun had torn all his illusions to pieces. At this time, he was thinking about the huge force he had created over the years, the mysterious organization composed of more than 100,000 people, and he was no longer proud of all this.
All this has become his most terrifying nightmare, and he seems to have seen the Axeman approaching him.
"No... Sima Yun, you can't be so suspicious of me. You know my loyalty to the master... No, I want to explain to the master, I want to speak clearly... Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough..."
Wang Huaiyuan stood up from the chair and rushed out, but his body had already become sick and chaffed from overwork, and he suddenly coughed violently and hollowly due to the excitement.
Luo Huo and Sima Yun were so frightened that they quickly held him down, took out styrax wine and honey-flavored cough sweet syrup from his pocket and poured them into his mouth.
"Old Wang, please calm down and clear your mind, okay? You don't understand what I mean. The head of state has never doubted you. What kind of relationship do we have? It's a life-and-death friendship that was fought on top of Taibai!"
"In Yi County, you, me, and Xiao Hexin all risked their lives to protect the master from escaping. Otherwise, he would have killed him long ago. These heads of friendship have not forgotten it, otherwise they would not have handed over such an important department to you. ah!"
"But you have to understand that the sense of crisis in the head of state's heart is not directed at you, but at the huge force of more than 100,000 people under your command!"
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to unify the hearts of the people. How dare you, Wang Huaiyuan, to pat your chest and guarantee that there are no careerists among these 100,000 people? Think about it carefully, think about it again..."
"Before the Sima family usurped the Wei Dynasty, wasn't it that three generations of Sima Yi's family pretended to be grandsons for decades before finally succeeding? How dare you guarantee that you don't have those talented people who have spent half their lives hiding and hiding?"
"So... I have always guessed that our master still hopes to replace loyalty with rules and use mutual restraint of rights to prevent one family from becoming dominant..."
"Old Wang, think about it again. Looking at the problem from this perspective, do you think it was a bad thing for Fangguan to separate the European Intelligence Agency? That Yanzi dared to draw a gun at us. Do you think the Führer will really be angry?"
At this time, even Luo Huo was stunned. He opened his mouth, "I, I, I..." I didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"I...fuck...Sima Yun, you can't fart twice a day, why are you so full of messy intestines in your stomach!"
At this moment, Wang Huaiyuan calmed down a little. The medicine suppressed his violent coughing and panic. He gasped and said with a wry smile, "I'm old. I really have no energy. When I turn around, I will go to the head of state to resign. I have to rest..."
"Old Wang, what are you doing? Playing tricks and being petty? Master didn't say anything. Aren't we brothers trying to persuade you behind your back? After all, you still have to let Fang Guan go. Why are you always staring at her?"
"To be honest, right from the beginning, I don't agree with your strategy of using the official position as a springboard to stimulate the head of state and force him to take office..."
"Using someone else's little girl as a pedal? We are not doing this kindly..."
Wang Huaiyuan rubbed his temples painfully, "Times have changed... In the first few years, if a woman stepped on her, she would be stepped on. Who would have thought that now I can't even offend women... Hey!"
With a long sigh, Wang Huaiyuan became much older.
