Hearing Fang Lang mention the importance of using high-tech technology in intelligence work, Sirio Leitch couldn't help but nodded seriously. The equipment they use most now is monitoring equipment, but they have no production capacity for these equipment themselves.
They are all purchased from the United States. It is ridiculous to think about using equipment purchased from the United States to monitor American intelligence personnel. If they are discovered by the Americans, it is really possible that they will be found.
Now Fang Lang said that both the CIA and the KGB had specialized equipment research laboratories, which made Silio Leitch even more nervous. And Fang Langrang's use of loopholes in high-tech tools to quietly pass on information revealed his technical blind spots.
Therefore, after hearing this, Sirio Leitch showed a wry smile on his face, looked at Fang Lang with an embarrassed look and said:
“Boss, we all know how helpful these high-tech equipment you mentioned are to our work, but now our country’s technical reserves in this area are really incomparable with those of European and American countries!
Not to mention the big ones, almost all the monitoring equipment we use now are purchased from the United States and the United Kingdom. Not to mention that the products are not the most advanced, and the quantity is often limited.
Under such circumstances, we are expected to use high-tech technical means to quietly transmit information to them. We really do not have the technical strength! "
Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown. This was really a big problem. If even the monitoring equipment had to be purchased from Americans, it would be too passive for Brazil's intelligence work.
They would be embarrassed if these devices were discovered by Americans and they were traced based on the product numbers.
Therefore, it now seems that it is really necessary for them to establish their own spy equipment research and development institution. The investment in this institution will definitely be very large. After all, the products need to be miniaturized as much as possible so as not to be discovered by the enemy.
However, fortunately, the research on these aspects will not be useless. At least the miniaturization of eavesdropping equipment means the miniaturization of microphones and receiving and conversion equipment. Once the research is successful, miniaturized microphones can also be used in the future. On the phone.
If you want to produce these devices, you must have the corresponding electrical manufacturing capabilities.
Does Brazil now have the manufacturing capacity for these things? Needless to say, of course there are, but most of these factories that master production technology produce civilian equipment, and there is obviously no research on special spy equipment.
However, this does not prevent them from using ordinary civilian electrical appliance factories to produce these special equipment.
"Let's do this! You think of a way to raise a sum of funds and set up a special research laboratory for intelligence equipment under our Fangyuan Group Electrical Research Institute. Relying on the equipment and technology of our Fangyuan Electrical Appliances, we can find ways to manufacture domestic professional equipment.
Avoid the embarrassing situation you are in now, using American equipment to spy on American intelligence personnel. "
The Electrical Research Institute of Fangyuan Group that Fang Lang mentioned was actually a research institute based on the TV production lines imported from the United States.
The main research direction of this institute is to improve the clarity and picture quality of televisions and to find new alternatives to television screens.
Later, at Fang Lang's request, a research institute for a series of white home appliances such as refrigerators, electric fans, telephones, washing machines, rice cookers, microwave ovens, ovens, and air conditioners was established.
The current TV factory has long been transformed into Fangyuan Electrical Appliance Factory, which produces not only TVs, but also a series of household appliances such as telephones, electric fans, washing machines, refrigerators, etc.
Because of Fanglang's decades of experience, the home appliances produced by Fangyuan Electric have abandoned the heavy metal image of most home appliances, and are the first to use engineering plastics on a large scale in non-stressed parts such as unimportant appearance of the product. .
Although the cost of engineering plastics during this period was still relatively high, the price was not superior to metals.
However, the easy plasticity of plastic makes Fangyuan Group's products not only beautiful and fashionable in appearance, but also lightweight. Very popular among European and American housewives.
The products of Fangyuan Home Appliances are almost invincible in the European and American markets, and the European and American home appliance manufacturers are losing ground and are unable to fight back.
Under such circumstances, Fangyuan Group naturally pays more attention to the development and application of plastic products. Not only did it obtain patent authorization from DuPont in the United States, but it also directly acquired Germany's BASF Chemicals through Global Morgan Bank and established Fangyuan in Brazil. BASF chemical company, responsible for the production and research of various dyes and plastic products.
In order to further reduce the cost of plastic products, Fangyuan Group has invested a lot of money in research on the industrial production of engineering plastics. This enabled polyethylene, which was originally to be industrialized in mass production in 1957, to be industrialized ahead of schedule.
And it has been widely used in the fields of home appliances and automobile manufacturing under the Fangyuan Group. The products produced by Fangyuan Group not only have advanced functions, but are also affordable, high quality and low price, and have instantly occupied most of the markets in Europe and the United States.
The profits of these household appliances are also quite scary. Although Fangyuan Electrical Appliances has not yet become the group's largest source of profit, its profit growth rate makes even the most profitable tobacco company under Fangyuan Group feel nervous.
Therefore, when Fang Lang asked Sirio Leitch to raise funds to establish a specialized research room for intelligence equipment under the Fangyuan Electrical Research Institute, Sirio Leitch almost jumped with joy.
In his opinion, the technical strength of Fangyuan Electrical Research Institute is very strong. As long as a clear research direction is given and there is reference to the existing equipment in the United States, it will be able to quickly develop its own intelligence equipment.
At that time, there will no longer be any need to worry about being stuck on these devices, or being followed by others based on the purchase of these products.
Sirio Leitch stood up with a look of joy on his face, saluted Fang Lang with a military salute and said:
"Yes, boss! I will start raising funds immediately after I return, and I will make sure to get this research laboratory up and running as quickly as possible."
Seeing that the other party was as happy as a child, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand and pressed down, gesturing for the other party to sit back and chat slowly. He did not forget to blame:
"If there is such a need in the future, don't hide it, but make sure to raise it as soon as possible. Problems that we can solve directly ourselves must be solved as soon as possible.
If we can't solve it ourselves, we can also find solutions from other countries in the world!
With this research laboratory, you must make good use of it. Don't just follow the United States and the Soviet Union and imitate other people's equipment. You must also let your own intelligence personnel put forward their own ideas according to their own work needs, and let the research laboratory's personnel Researchers will study it to see if it can be realized.
Only in this way can our equipment be closer to actual combat applications.
Don’t just focus on surveillance equipment. With the sharpest spear, there will be the strongest shield. We must use our brains to see if we can use technological means to prevent the enemy from monitoring us.
In addition to monitoring and listening equipment, there should be many needs, such as communication equipment that can keep secrets, cipher machines that can encrypt, etc. These are all devices that you need to research on your own.
Of course, you are the professionals when it comes to specific equipment. I believe you know better than me what equipment you need. My request is that you can conduct research around the work needs of intelligence officers themselves.
Don't let the researchers in the laboratory rely on their wild imagination to design and manufacture some weird equipment that is completely impractical. By then, there will be no results and the funds will be wasted. "
As he spoke, Fang Lang felt that he was a bit verbose. After all, he had only watched a few spy war movies and TV shows in later generations. He didn't know much about real spy wars. What he said here might just be an amateur. Guidance expert.
It will be embarrassing when it backfires.
But Sirio Leitch listened very carefully, not because Fang Lang was his boss, but more because he thought that many of the things Fang Lang said were very reasonable, and they were the guiding ideology of golden words.
Therefore, he nodded to Fang Lang very seriously and said:
"Yes, boss, we will definitely consult extensively with frontline intelligence agents to develop intelligence equipment that is most suitable for us."
"Very well, you can study the specific situation yourself. You have to remember that technology is to serve people.
By the way, there is one more important thing when I come to you this time. "
In areas that he does not particularly understand, Fang Lang now tries his best to only provide guidance in the general direction to prevent people below from misdirecting the technology tree and taking the wrong path.
Seeing that Silio Leitch understood what he meant, Fang Lang stopped talking and started to talk about the important thing about calling the other party here this time.
Hearing that Fang Lang had more important things to explain, Silio Leitch quickly sat up straight and waited for Fang Lang's order.
Fang Lang added a cup of tea to the other party, organized his words, and said with a serious expression:
“In the next stage, in addition to monitoring intelligence personnel of other countries in the country, your focus will be tilted towards Argentina.
In addition to the intelligence personnel currently in Argentina, efforts must be intensified to send more manpower to penetrate deeper into Argentina.
Since Juan Veron regards Brazil as their opponent, we must do what our opponent should do seriously.
Once there is any trouble in Argentina, we must respond faster than them.
Can it be done? "
This is considered an order.
As soon as Fang Lang finished speaking, Silio Leitch stood up directly with a serious face and replied loudly:
"Yes, boss! Promise to complete the task!"
This time Fang Lang did not let Sirio Leitch sit down easily, but continued to speak seriously:
“In the next few years, the relationship between us and Argentina will inevitably be very tense. In addition to collecting Argentina’s military intelligence, you also need to collect intelligence on their economy and people’s livelihood.
More importantly, find a way to get in touch with Juan Veron's opposition. When there is nothing wrong, play devil's advocate for the other party and hold them back, so as not to make the other party's life too comfortable.
Once you find out any dirty information about Juan Veron, you can use these people to create some trouble for this guy! "
Fang Lang couldn't help laughing when he talked about it.
Seeing this, Silio Leitch couldn't help but responded with a smile on his face:
"I understand, boss, you'll see what happens when the time comes!"
“Don’t forget to find the Argentinian intelligence personnel in our country, and if circumstances permit, use them to cause confusion for the U.S. and Soviet intelligence personnel, and try to avoid the possibility of ourselves being discovered by the United States and the Soviet Union.
Do you understand me? "
Looking at the boss in front of him with a cunning light in his eyes, Sirio Leitch couldn't help but froze the smile on his face. He had never thought of such a coquettish operation.
This really takes advantage of the people of Argentina to the extreme! When the time comes, Argentina's intelligence personnel will be used to provoke a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. When the United States and the Soviet Union find out, Argentina will have a good life.
Silio Leitch couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the consequences that the other party might face.
"I understand, boss! I understand. When the time comes, we will definitely let the Argentinians take the blame."
After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, Sirio Leitch saw that Fang Lang seemed to have finished giving the order. He carefully recalled Fang Lang's words. As if he suddenly discovered something, he couldn't help but say:
"Boss, what I just heard from you seems to be that you are planning to carry out intelligence work on Argentina in the name of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency. Are you planning to divide our intelligence agencies?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but be stunned. He really hadn't thought about this carefully, but now after Sirio Leitch said this, he suddenly discovered that in order to hide the existence of the Second Section of the Logistics Department, he was not only preparing to set up Naval Intelligence and Intelligence Police, as well as the presence of the Brazilian Intelligence Service.
In this way, Brazil's intelligence agencies seem to be in a bit of confusion. Not to mention that foreign people can't figure out their situation, they may be in chaos internally, and their responsibilities will not be clear. Once any problems arise, there may be mutual blame. .
Now Sirio Leitch said this, he felt that it was really necessary for everyone to divide the work, otherwise they would blame each other when encountering problems. Even if there is an enemy situation, it will be a waste of manpower and energy if several agencies are targeting it at the same time.
Now that Sirio Leitch has taken the initiative to ask this question, maybe the other party also has this idea in mind, so why not listen to the other party's opinion first.
"You are my chief intelligence manager. What do you think of the division of labor among intelligence agencies?"
Upon hearing Fang Lang's question, Sirio Leitch made a judgment in his mind. It seemed that the boss had indeed considered the division of labor in the intelligence department. The reason why he did not talk about it was probably because he was concerned about the feelings of himself, the chief steward of the intelligence department.
This made him couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. At the same time, he also felt deeply that he had a great responsibility.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly said:
“Boss, now our Logistics Department No. 2 has become a behemoth. I feel that the organization and personnel are a bit bloated.
In order to better carry out intelligence work, I feel that division of labor is imperative.
Since we are now preparing to establish the Naval Intelligence Department and the Intelligence Police, we might as well disperse the personnel of the Second Section of our Logistics Department.
By then, the personnel of these institutions will all be composed of our people, and the chief officers will definitely be appointed by you. I believe they will be fully under your control.
More importantly, according to your vision, only by allowing them to operate in the name of their own organization can the existence of the Second Logistics Division be completely hidden.
By then, it will only be said that they are personnel transferred from the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, and I believe that no one will know about the existence of the Second Logistics Division.
But we can completely let the Logistics Division II hide behind these agencies to carry out command and coordination work. In fact, they are still an intelligence agency under the Second Section of the Logistics Department. "
