Chapter 64 Means: Obtaining information in various ways (1)
From relatively "gentle" bribery to assassination with a strong "tough guy" color, each method may achieve the goal or destroy itself.A good intelligence officer is always good at discovering his own strengths, finding the method that is most conducive to getting closer to the core target, and being able to decisively adapt to the situation.

§§§Section [-] Buying: The method of obtaining information under the temptation of interests

There are various methods used by intelligence personnel, and bribery is one of the methods, which is the most common and "good" compared to other methods.For ordinary people, the method of bribery is almost tried and tested. It can even be said that as long as the temptation is strong enough, anything is possible.It can be said that the destructive power of this kind of bribed intelligence personnel is very huge. For intelligence personnel organizations, the combat effectiveness of the bribery method is very outstanding.In order to better illustrate this method, the FBI cited the examples of Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" and two Japanese companies.

In order to obtain information about the mainland, Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" uses bribery as the first means of espionage.They use money to buy Taiwanese businessmen who have already invested in the mainland.Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" buys two types of objects: one is grateful households.This kind of businessman accepts funding from Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" after encountering difficulties in business.According to Hong Kong media reports, once, intelligence personnel of the "Military Intelligence Bureau" discovered a Taiwanese businessman who was not doing well in Hong Kong and was on the verge of bankruptcy, so he was recruited into the intelligence organization on the condition that he invested 15 Hong Kong dollars. The businessman went to Guangdong to do business as a Taiwanese businessman. During this period, he developed intelligence personnel and carried out intelligence activities.The other is the small business operator.The intelligence bonuses and allowances of Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" are not a small amount of income for small business operators.According to a Taiwanese businessman who is familiar with the inside information, the price for buying a small business operator starts from NT$5, and the value of information increases accordingly.

Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" organizes such Taiwanese businessmen bought with money, and goes to the "Xinzhuang" Intelligence School in the "Hsinchu Camp" in Yangmingshan, Taipei to conduct intelligence personnel training. The training time is generally one week or ten days, one month. Afterwards, these trained Taiwanese businessmen signed a contract with the "Military Intelligence Bureau".A week or ten days of training is obviously not enough for a good intelligence officer, but it is enough for an amateur intelligence officer.After appointing these Taiwanese businessmen, the "Military Intelligence Bureau" will distribute some intelligence personnel equipment to these Taiwanese businessmen. Of course, it is not high-end equipment, and the most used mobile phone is a "mistress killer".You can infer one or two when you see the name. This kind of mobile phone was invented by the mistress.It is reported that because many Taiwanese businessmen "have mistresses" in the mainland, many family members of Taiwanese businessmen ask someone to solder a chip in their husband's mobile phone. With this chip, even when the phone is turned off, they can eavesdrop any sounds around.Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" uses this kind of "pediatric" equipment to equip these amateur intelligence personnel, so that these people are repeatedly arrested. Of course, the "Military Intelligence Bureau" will not "catch" the arrested amateur intelligence personnel, especially Will not "pacify".

Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" is not very powerful in buying and fighting, and the open and secret fighting between the two companies in Japan shows the excellent fighting power of buying.

A company A in Japan has accumulated a large amount of non-performing assets due to poor management and is on the verge of bankruptcy. In order to obtain bank loans continuously, Company A blocked the company's deteriorating financial situation as top-secret information and took strict measures. measures to prevent leakage of confidentiality.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. This news was quickly captured by the intelligence personnel of its competitor, Company B. This news made the decision-makers of Company B very happy. Once the real financial situation of Company A is found out, it will be a fatal blow to Company A. .As a result, company B sent intelligence personnel to other companies in a steady stream, in order to grasp the real financial situation of company A.However, the intelligence personnel of Company B failed to get what they wanted, and they were defeated under the strict prevention mechanism of Company A.When Company B was at a loss and felt desperate, a very valuable news brought hope to it and successfully reversed the situation.It turns out that the chief accountant of Company A will go to a certain hospital for dental implants in the near future.Therefore, the staff of Company B quickly took measures and paid a lot of money to buy the dentist who was appointed by the chief accountant of Company A.

When the dentist was filling the teeth of Company A's chief accountant, he inserted a tiny bug into his metal braces.From this moment on, Company A's financial status is no longer an unfathomable secret, but a "live broadcast" player at any time.Company A’s chief accountant reported the financial situation to the boss, which was recorded by Company B, and sent to the relevant department to make it public. Company A suffered a fatal blow and died not long after.

Although amateur intelligence personnel have no intelligence personnel experience, they have the inherent advantages of being concealed and easy to get close to the target.Under the lure of fame and wealth, these amateur intelligence personnel who were bribed did not hesitate to set fire to their backyards and secretly defected, and many companies went bankrupt inexplicably because of this.

Some Japanese companies have adopted a long-term strategy, buying many engineers, technicians, and workers in key processes in Silicon Valley of the United States as insiders, and providing them with technical information on electronic computers of American companies.In order to obtain commercial secrets, some enterprises also train their own commercial intelligence personnel among foreign students, journalists, and university professors.

§§§Second Blackmail: A knack for obtaining intelligence
Due to the weak combat effectiveness of amateur intelligence personnel, sometimes it is inevitable to bear the crisis of "bad luck".Therefore, the intelligence organization has also adjusted and improved the traditional means of buying. On the one hand, it has increased the intensity of buying to ensure that nothing will go wrong; — blackmail.

The blackmail technique of intelligence personnel is fundamentally also a bribery technique. The difference is that traditional bribery is bribery with a bad face, while blackmail is a bribery with a red face. This is more similar to the accomplice in joint crimes in criminal law theory.

Blackmail is rife in today's society.Technically speaking, there are extortion by stealing private documents, extortion by synthesizing obscene photos, extortion by fake traffic accidents, etc.; from a subject point of view, there are extortion by posing as prosecutors or policemen, extortion by kidnappers, extortion by escort girls, etc.; According to the media, there are Internet blackmail, phone blackmail, letter blackmail, face-to-face blackmail, and so on.However, the target of traditional blackmail is a certain amount of money, while the target of intelligence personnel is irreplaceable information or behavior instructions. The uniqueness of the target determines the difficulty of blackmail for intelligence personnel, so it requires more careful planning and even more cost.

Some of the intelligence personnel pretending to be Taiwanese businessmen are different from the amateur intelligence personnel mentioned above, and their tasks are directly directed to the core intelligence.But the methods used by these people to obtain information are different: they use the generous treatment of Taiwan compatriots and their business status to make a big fuss on the road of government-business collusion.Usually what they do is, first of all, use a considerable investment fund to win the favor of the local government, and then smoothly win over important government officials to become one with them.Subsequently, these intelligence officers began to consciously collect the privacy of these officials. When the collection was enough to ruin the reputation of an official, the "Taiwanese businessman" would turn his face, and the next thing is easy to imagine. These officials tried in vain They exchanged important documents for their unspeakable secrets. Unexpectedly, they got deeper and deeper, and many people turned into real puppets.

Of course, the blackmail technique of intelligence personnel is not only as simple as the collusion between government and businessmen, there is also the technique of blackmail by intelligence personnel in obtaining important secrets.The former East German intelligence agency reached unprecedented heights in sexual intelligence blackmail.The Intelligence Agency carefully selects some beautiful men, and after special and secret training, they become professional "Romeo" (male pornographic intelligence officers).Later, he began to actively participate in the "Romeo" special operation to lure single women in important Western departments and secret agencies.The most famous of these is the case in which "Romeo" successfully seduced a single female secretary working in an important state department of the West Berlin Federal Republic, made her fall in love, and provided a large amount of top-secret information.According to a report from the Russian "Women's ABC" website, during the Cold War, the intelligence agencies of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe dispatched a large number of male intelligence officers to lure women working in secret agencies in Western countries, making them fall into love traps and betray intelligence.The Norwegian Prime Minister's wife, Narna, was tricked by a beautiful man during her visit to the Soviet Union. She was controlled by KGB intelligence personnel and provided a large amount of important NATO military information to the former Soviet Union.However, Wolff, the director of the GDR Intelligence Agency, admitted that the "Romeo" operation sometimes failed. Once the two parties really fell in love, the situation would become complicated and the situation could not be controlled.

In addition, blackmail tactics in the business world are more common and varied, even targeting job candidates.A lady surnamed Zhang worked in XX Computer Company after graduation, but the treatment and working environment of temporary workers made her feel insecure.One day, Ms. Zhang saw an advertisement for another computer company recruiting permanent staff in the newspaper.For a permanent job, she wrote an application letter to the computer company that day, and briefly introduced her current work situation in the letter.Not long after, the computer company invited her for an interview.In fact, the examiner who interviewed was actually an intelligence officer who was responsible for inquiring about the business intelligence of Ms. Zhang's original company.

"What kind of work did you do in XX computer company?" The examiner asked directly when he came up.

"I have tested and made statistics on the data encryption functions of computer software packages produced by all manufacturers in the market." Ms. Zhang answered concisely and accurately.

After Ms. Zhang finished speaking, she saw that the examiner was still silent and did not make a statement. She thought that she had not answered enough. She was eager to apply for a job and immediately added: "I found that the security function of all software packages on the market is better than the one being developed by XX Computer Company." The new software package is poor. The boss is very satisfied with my work." Hearing this, the examiner showed a satisfied smile.Ms. Zhang thought it was her work ability that impressed the examiner, but the examiner had already discovered the trade secret of XX Computer Company from her words——the software package has a strong confidentiality function.Therefore, when the computer company hired Ms. Zhang, it immediately organized technicians to focus on the encryption function of the software package.This computer company uses recruiting as an excuse to interview job applicants, especially job applicants who have worked for competing companies, to collect commercial information such as production, technology, and management of the other party, which is a common method of blackmail. means.
