Chapter 595 Cooperation
However, this incident can be used as a wake-up call to remind other executive committee members, especially Wu De, the president of the Planning Institute.Once the "Yifan-Chen Ce" system is adopted, he can of course foresee the impact that the Planning Institute, as the immediate successor of the Planning Commission, will suffer.

Ma Qianju rang the doorbell at the end of the lane, and a window appeared on the iron door immediately, revealing a pair of vigilant eyes.

"Passport."

He handed over the pass.

A few minutes later, the door opened, and the guard stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, Chief."

"Okay, okay." He mumbled a few times, took back his pass, and asked casually, "Is Xiao Zishan there?"

"exist."

Ma Qianju looked at the small green brick building in the courtyard.Xiao Zishan's office is at the top of the second floor.He could see himself if he looked out of the window-as he always did, he would definitely have to socialize with himself.Thinking of this, he took a few steps to get out of this sight area.

The office lounge is in the backyard of the office.Xiao Zishan asked Li Xiaolu to do a landscape design, and built an open-style fake ancient building, with many flowers and trees transplanted on all sides——right now, jasmine is in full bloom, and the branches are full of small snow-white flowers, which are very fragrant.

This is a place similar to a teahouse. The room is bright and bright, with rattan seats inside, very similar to the teahouses in Suzhou and Hangzhou that Ma Qianzhu had been to.It is a good place to rest and talk with the breeze blowing.But there is no waiter here, tea, boiled water and beverages are all ready-made, neatly packaged and placed on the low cabinet.You can also bring your own cup, or use the cup here, there is a sink along the wall, and there are spare brushes and small packets of bleach.There is a piece of paper on the wall: "Please clean the tea set after using it!"

Ma Qianzhu made tea for himself, and after waiting for a few minutes leisurely, Skaide hurried over.

"Hello, Secretary of State." He greeted him. In fact, he was not very familiar with Ma Qianju, and had only met a few times at the enlarged meeting of the Executive Committee.

"Call me Ma Qianju, Comrade Scaled."

"Okay." Skade nodded.This person is about thirty, with a height of 175, a fairly standard build, and a popular face.According to the political appraisal of the General Administration of Political Security, this person is a chauvinist who hates Britain and the United States. His ideal is to establish a colonial empire and enter the third industrial revolution in his lifetime.As far as this last point is concerned, Ma Qianju believes that he and himself still have a common language.

Ma Qianju introduced to him the plan of setting up the foreign intelligence bureau.

"...Jiangshan's idea is that the current layout of the mainland is basically a system where intelligence and commerce are shoulder-to-shoulder. This can maximize the efficiency of the use of people, money, and materials, and avoid redundant construction."

"You mean, similar to the model of Guangzhou station."

"It's roughly like this. But this kind of station may not reach the scale of Guangzhou station."

"The Ministry of Colonial Trade is in charge of investment and management, and is also responsible for the support of intelligence personnel. Is this what you mean?"

"Of course." Ma Qianzhu nodded, "But I have to correct one point. Strictly speaking, the investment is provided by the Planning Institute and the Chief Financial Officer Department." He smelled a bargain, and quickly dismissed this possibility.

"Yes," Skade nodded, "I mean, if our department is to be responsible for business activities, then there will be commercial considerations in the selection of these sites. It is not simply out of consideration for obtaining information .Some location intelligence bureaus think it is important and necessary to set up permanent points, but from a commercial point of view, these locations may not be able to make enough profits, and even the profits to maintain the operation of the stations themselves cannot be earned.”

"If there is such a place, the Intelligence Bureau will be solely responsible for it." Ma Qianzhu was straightforward.

"In that case I agree to cooperate. However, I would like the Intelligence Service to provide a list of locations they wish to deploy so that the Ministry can conduct a comprehensive assessment."

"No problem." Ma Qianju said, "I will tell Jiang Shan to come to you——you must keep this list of locations secret."

"Of course," Skelder said, "I'm drafting a report on the increase of outposts. Since the intelligence bureau also has this consideration, we can jointly draft this report with the intelligence bureau."

"You can discuss this matter with Jiang Shan slowly." Ma Qianzhu said casually, "How do you plan to arrange the layout?"

Skade grinned: "The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Light Industry are also anxious about the large-scale distribution of sites. They all want to expand the mainland market."

Ma Qianju knew that this was because the silver reserves had been declining recently, and the biggest source of income for the Traveling Group: the Leizhou sugar crushing season had not yet begun.However, the consumption of industrialization does not stop for a minute.As the departments that mainly earn "foreign exchange": the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Light Industry, their anxiety can be imagined.

"After our discussion, we will first set up locations in the south of the Yangtze River - Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou. These four places have the most commercial value. Our high-quality industrial products will have a great market. It is best to set up one or two locations in Fujian. .”

Fujian is an important export porcelain producing area. Clark porcelain is mostly produced in this area, and the local rich tea resources are both important sources of export goods.As far as the Group's own needs are concerned, kaolin and tea are very necessary resources.

Followed by Beijing and Zhangjiakou.

"Zhangjiakou? It's not easy to get money from Shanxi Laocai."

"Zhangjiakou is an important trading center for Mongolian goods, leather goods and horses. Doesn't the Executive Committee want them?"

Of course I want to.Leather goods can be used for re-export - Europeans are very enthusiastic about leather goods. As for horses, this is what the Traveling Group lacks most.Although the members of the Agricultural Committee look down on Mongolian horses, dislike the height of the shoulders and the small stature, but this kind of horse is resistant to rough feeding, and it is quite good to be able to get hundreds of horses as animal power, at least it is better than slow horses. The cattle are easy to use.Besides, the army also has a very strong demand for horses - Zhang Bolin has complained countless times: it is a barbaric and backward military system to use livestock instead of pawns to pull cannons.

"How do you ship Mongolian goods? The distance from Zhangjiakou to any seaport in the customs is not close."

"This requires the intelligence department to find a way. First, we must deal with the generals of the town army, and let them come forward to handle the formalities, otherwise the horses will not be able to go on the road at all. Second, we must establish an outlet in the northern coastal area, and the goods traded from the north must be nearby. Load the ship."

"That's all for the layout you've considered?"

"Yes, the distribution of commercial sites in the Jiangnan area can be denser. For example, Zhenjiang and Shanghai can also be located, but for the time being, let's start with these. If there are too many sites, the investment will not be enough."

"Very good." Ma Qianzhu wrote down the main points in his notebook.

Skade didn't know whether this "very good" was a compliment to his job well done, or a sign of "here it is", he coughed:
"In addition to the mainland, I propose to set up a point in Macau."

"There is a place in Macau called..."

"Huang Shunlong." Scaled reminded him, "This person is our agent in Macau. But this person is not very active in business. His business is nothing more than collecting stolen goods and reselling contraband. Now it is valuable to us. It's getting smaller and smaller - he can't satisfy Lingao's appetite. We need a sales window that can directly face the Portuguese."

"It's not that Li Huamei is acting as an agent."

"This person," said Skelder, "is very suspicious. You should know that she may not be reliable."

"If so, consider setting up one."

"The last is to set up a point in Vietnam." He said, "At the beginning, it was set up in Beiqi, which is the source of our rice and coal. It is very necessary to set up a trading station." With a trading station, there will naturally be intelligence work.

"Setting up a base in Beiqi is a big deal. I'm afraid it will take the coordination of various ministries. The Northern Dynasty may not allow it. We must be prepared for military struggle."

"How about testing first?" Skaide has been planning this matter for a long time. Last time, Chang Shide from Leizhou made a special trip to Lingao to discuss this issue with him: Leizhou Station and Guangzhou Station are planning to set up a trading company with Vietnam , in addition to mining coal in Hongji, it also engages in trading activities.

It is not difficult to set up a storehouse in Beiqi, as long as there is money to be made, the small court of North Vietnam still welcomes everyone to do business-many Ming merchants have already established warehouses in the local area.Rare is the coal mining in Hon Kee.This matter is more difficult.It's hard to imagine that the small court of North Vietnam would be indifferent to the actions of a group of strange overseas people digging coal

Skaide's calculation is that if Ma Qianju doesn't object, he will do it in Hongji on a small scale first.Anyway, there are manpower and material resources at hand to call.

"This matter still needs to be submitted to the executive committee for discussion. It involves issues of foreign relations." Ma Qianju said, "Beiqi is not a Southeast Asian chieftain. There are also hundreds of thousands of troops. Now that the relationship is deadlocked, I am afraid we will not Easy to deal with."

A few days later, the proposal on the joint deployment of the Intelligence Bureau and the Ministry of Colonial Trade on the mainland was passed by the Executive Committee, and then passed by the Standing Committee of the Senate for the third time.As for the layout of Beiqi, the Executive Committee and the Senate "approved in principle" and agreed to send a small-scale team to conduct a tentative layout-on the premise that "military conflicts should not occur as much as possible."

Skade felt very aggrieved-colonization should be bloody, how could it be called "colonial development" without the music of cannons and muskets.

"We have to be timid about the Vietnamese." He grumbled in his office, then picked up the phone, "Take the organization department... yes, the organization department? My office of the Ministry of Colonial Trade, I need to transfer some people file... No, the transfer procedures are not going through for the time being... Yes, the first one is called Bei Kai..."

Li Yan stared at the mycelium under the microscope—this is the biological laboratory of the Council of Agriculture.There are seven or eight people crowded inside, a group of PhDs and masters who study molecular biology, stem cells and other cutting-edge science in the 21st world are studying various practical strains under the leadership of Huang Dashan.This is one of two options for people who study biology. The other option is to go to the biological laboratory of the Ministry of Health, which specializes in dealing with virus vaccines.

He wrote down his observations on clipboards—a boring and tedious job, but fortunately he was used to it.Step-by-step planning has become a part of his life.

Li Yan handed over the microscope to someone else, and walked out of the already crowded laboratory.Walking outside from the turbid and hot laboratory, I only feel that the air is extremely fresh.He took a deep breath - compared to other places, the air here in the farm is still good.

He has already received a transfer order, and he will go to work in the Foreign Intelligence Service tomorrow. It is not too challenging to always do tasks such as search and treatment translation in the library.He is used to boring work, but it does not mean he is used to simple work.Intelligence work was right up his alley.

Li Yan doesn't intend to be 007, nor does he want to be M, he wants to be a planner in the office.It is best to train people.Lectures on intrigues and pitfalls of all kinds, and his beloved IED - although the possibility of this thing being used is doubtful.

A few days later, the first training course for dispatched personnel started.The reason why it is called the first class is because the students in this class are different—all veterans who are interested in dedicating themselves to intelligence or trade work.They are all people who voluntarily submit applications and ask to work in the front line of the mainland.

There were more than a dozen people in this group, all of different heights, short, fat, and thin, except for one thing—they were all men.Not that there are no women submitting applications, quite a few women are willing to join this high-risk job.However, after analysis by the intelligence agency, it is believed that the range of activities for women in the Daming-controlled area is limited, unless she is willing to be in the lower class, or like Miss PIPE, she will go all out to be a courtesan.

Fortunately, almost all the women in the time-traveling group have boyfriends or husbands, which made Jiangshan avoid facing the outstanding female agents who tried to break into Chongzhen or Huang Taiji Dorgon's side and planned to lurk in the enemy's bed through palace struggle.This is what worries him all the time.The remaining activists who persisted, Yu Eshui, also retreated after pointing out the various inconveniences in life that they would face when they went to the mainland to engage in intelligence activities.

"Don't talk about girls, I think these men may not be able to bear the hardship." Yu Eshui crossed his legs, "Everyone thinks that they are as leisurely and leisurely as Leizhou in Guangzhou, with maids, wives and servants around-how can it be so Cheap thing."

"I have to protest. Our life in the early days of Leizhou's development was still very difficult!" Chen Tianxiong objected to the idea of ​​bringing Guangzhou and Leizhou together. In his opinion, the difficulty of developing Guangzhou is much smaller than that of Leizhou. There are rich and powerful local snakes holding high officials to help with the township affairs, but Leizhou was developed by his own group overcoming obstacles and fear.How can the two be compared?Needless to say, the so-called "enjoyment" at Leizhou station is just that everyone has engaged a few women in advance, which is completely different from the standard of living of the people in Guangzhou.

"Okay, let's see who we want to eliminate." Jiang Shan said to Li Yan - the latter had just been promoted to be the deputy director of the Daming Department and also the director of intelligence training.This title of director was created by the intelligence bureau itself, and the organization department only recognized the position of deputy director of the Daming Division.

"Now that we have been eliminated, it will be difficult to recruit again in the future." Yu Eshui said, "Now everyone thinks that expatriates are just like Guangzhou, and when they are dispatched, they will be fooled, and when they come back, they will not be interested. .”

"Okay, let's have a short interview. If it's really inappropriate, we can't accept it." Li Yan insisted on an interview.

"Okay, as you like."

……

"Permission—" The person in front of him was wearing a navy uniform, "You are a navy, or an active captain, how did you come to us?"

"It is my long-cherished wish to engage in naval military intelligence..."

"Then you have to retire first, and then come again. We are under the system of the Central Government Affairs Council, and we don't accept active soldiers."

It is obviously a bit difficult for this person to come back after retiring, Xu Xu blinked his eyes: "Make an exception. Don't you need military intelligence personnel who understand the navy? The Foreign Intelligence Service also collects military intelligence."

"That's right, but your establishment is in the navy! If you come to us, you won't be paid your salary, and the navy will even count you as a deserter—"

"This problem——" Xu Xu scratched his head. It's not a big problem to be paid or not, but it is a serious problem to become a deserter.

"If you really want to come, get the Navy to apply for retirement, transfer the file back to the organization, and then submit the application."

"I still want to be an intelligence officer! I am a military intelligence officer of the Navy." Xu Xu still insisted on his wish, "How about you help me communicate? There is always a way."

So the telephone switchboard and switching station were in a hurry, and Ming Qiu didn't know how to deal with it. It stands to reason that the navy should have its own intelligence analysis room or something like that.After some urgent consultations, it was decided that he would be allowed to work in the Foreign Intelligence Service as a naval military intelligence officer, which was regarded as a naval expatriate staff-the salary was paid by the Navy, and the allowance was paid by the Foreign Intelligence Service.In the Foreign Intelligence Service, he is responsible for the collection and analysis of naval military intelligence.

"Well, is it appropriate to let the navy stretch a foot in now?" Wang Ding asked Jiang Shan in a low voice, "Looking at the intentions of the navy and the army, it is certain that they will set up their own military intelligence bureaus in the future, and they will probably set up one each. Aren't you working so hard to make wedding dresses for others?"

"If you make a wedding dress, just make a wedding dress. This is cooperation. Don't be too fussy." Jiang Shan looked majestic, "One of the tasks of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau is to provide intelligence preparations for the army's future conquest operations on the mainland. The navy will send There is nothing inappropriate for someone to be in charge of naval intelligence. Besides, many of our future activities will rely on the navy to provide support. With such a person around, wouldn’t it be easier to coordinate? Director Wang, we still have to look at the overall situation in everything.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Next person--"

"Cheng Nifeng. You want to be an expatriate?"

"Let me be a human trafficker—I have experience with this..."

……

After a simple interview, these people were all accepted, and Li Yan asked them to sign, take photos and fill out the form.After completing the formalities, Wang Ding appeared in front of them with a serious face:

"The comrades here are all ready to be dispatched to the mainland to engage in intelligence and trade activities. Some comrades will stay in the General Administration to work, but they will inevitably have to travel.
