After Wang Erbiao left, Li Zhigao looked at Zhou Zhengbin again. After looking at him for five seconds, he suddenly said: "Zhou Zhengbin!"

"The humble duty is here!" Zhou Zhengbin immediately raised his head and held his chest high.

"Don't be nervous." Seeing Zhou Zhengbin's appearance, Li Zhigao smiled with satisfaction, walked over and patted his shoulder and said, "You did a good job in this operation. If it weren't for your intelligence, they would never have gone so smoothly.

"

"This is all due to the good leadership of the adults."

"Forget the flattery." Li Zhigao said, "To be honest, I want to establish a secret intelligence organization. Well, it is an organization similar to secret agents. It is usually responsible for spying on information and arresting spies. The name

It’s called the Security Bureau, and I want you to be the director first, what do you think?”

"This... I am afraid that I will be incapable of doing this because I am in a humble position, which will delay the Lord's business."

"You have to do it to know whether you are capable or not." Li Zhigao smiled, turned around and took out a book from a cabinet and handed it to Zhou Zhengbin's hand, "Hey, take this book back and read it carefully.

They are all about how to establish an intelligence organization and how to develop the organization. After you read it back, draw up a charter and show it to me based on your own experience."

"This...is." Zhou Zhengbin nodded, went up a few steps to pick up the book and looked at it. It was a white paper with "Organization and Application of Intelligence Agencies" written on it.

In fact, this book, strictly speaking, is just a pamphlet. Li Zhigao copied the development history and organizational structure of world-famous intelligence organizations such as the KGB, the Military Command, and the CIA in later generations, and then made certain modifications to remove sensitive information.

place, then translate it into traditional Chinese characters and print it out. The printed matter is bound into a book and becomes this kind of white paper.

The white paper has very detailed instructions on the establishment of intelligence organizations and how to use them. There are also many "virtual cases" that are of great reference value. After reading this book, even if you know nothing about intelligence work, you will understand how to establish it.

The intelligence organization has a clear outline. As for specific application techniques such as how to train agents, how to develop downlines, how to infiltrate others, and how to interrogate prisoners, the book also provides many relatively clear methods, enough for him to study slowly.

I believe that as long as you read this book thoroughly, combined with Zhou Zhengbin's own life experience, and Li Zhigao's strong support, it is difficult to say otherwise. It is still very easy to set up a simple intelligence agency. At least, Li Zhigao feels that no matter how bad it is, it will be easy.

It should be easier than the original military unification. After all, the military unification was established from scratch, and there was no experience to learn at all.

"After completing the research, if you have any thoughts or questions, you can ask me directly." Li Zhigao smiled slightly, "When you understand it almost and can write a satisfactory charter for me, you can formally prepare the new yamen of the Security Bureau.

Already."

"I understand the humble position." Zhou Zhengbin's eyes lit up. Isn't this a proper Jin Yiwei? "Sir, will this security bureau's yamen be responsible only to you in the future?"

"That's right." Li Zhigao nodded with a smile, "Once this security bureau is established, you will only be responsible to me from now on, and no one else can control you. Of course, you can't be too arrogant and keep a low profile. In case you

If you make people angry in the future, I won’t be able to protect you. Do you understand what I say?”

"I understand the humble position."

"Yeah." Seeing that he was very polite, Li Zhigao took out a five thousand tael silver note and handed it to him, "Take this bank note and treat it as a bonus for this operation. Go back and reunite your family."

."

"Yes...ah? Five thousand taels!" After seeing this number, Zhou Zhengbin was also shocked, "This, sir, I can't do it, I can't do it, it's too many!"

"Not much." Li Zhigao smiled, "Without your information, my special operations team would not be able to function at all. You and your relative contributed the most to this operation, but I can't say it openly. In short,

You take the money, but you have to remember that your position is very special. If you follow me, I will never treat you badly. But if you dare to take money from others privately in the future, no matter how much you take, even one or two pieces of silver, I will do it.

I’ll get rid of you immediately, is that clear?”

"Yes, yes, clear, understand!" I don't know if it's true or false. In short, Zhou Zhengbin seemed to be shaking all over. He lowered his head and said, "I will keep myself clean after my humble position, and I won't take any points that I shouldn't get.

Everything is up to the adults to follow your lead!"

"Very good." Li Zhigao nodded with satisfaction, "If you have nothing to do, go down first. I'll give you three, no, five days off, and go back to reunite with your family. Also, read more of the books I gave you when you have time.

Come back in five days and tell me what you think. If you have any ideas at that time, come up with a charter and show it to me. If it is suitable, I will arrange an office location for you, buy things, and announce your position to everyone.

Let you officially start this yamen."

"Yes, sir, I will study it carefully when I get back."

"Um."

Seeing that Li Zhigao didn't say anything, Zhou Zhengbin whispered again, "Then, I'll go down first?"

"Go." Li Zhigao nodded with a smile.

"Yes." Zhou Zhengbin bowed again, then carefully took the book and the banknote, lowered his head and slowly walked backwards.

After Zhou Zhengbin left, Li Zhigao still did not walk away immediately. Instead, he returned to the sofa and sat down, slowly thinking about what was on his mind.

A spy agency must be established. Li Zhigao has thought about this for a long time. However, at the beginning, even though Li Zhigao had a lot of information from later generations to learn from and was not short of money, because this department had certain special characteristics, in the end,

What matters is not money or skills, but the right people.

In other words, the right talent must be chosen, otherwise the consequences will be serious. Therefore, although Li Zhigao had this idea for a long time, he did not have many suitable people at the beginning. It was only now that he finally found someone who was barely qualified, although not very qualified.

Satisfied, but after all, time waits for no one, so I made up my mind to let Zhou Zhengbin give it a try for the time being.

Zhou Zhengbin was actually a character that Li Zhigao spent a lot of time selecting. The reason why he was chosen was because based on his previous experience and recent performance, he was more suitable to be the spy leader. As for why he was suitable, it was very simple.

This man has good conduct, is cultured, not pedantic, and is very aware of current affairs.

As mentioned before, Zhou Zhengbin was originally a patrol commander in the Taiping Prefecture Old Patrol Battalion Police Team, a minor official at the level of police captain. However, although his official rank is not high, he is very prestigious among the crowd. The reason for this is that

It is said that it is because he is more ethical personally, only takes what he deserves, and rarely takes the initiative to extort money or money from the people.

In other words, although he cannot be said to be incorruptible, he is a rare person who pays great attention to personal integrity. This may be related to his family education, because his ancestors have always been scholars.

Although he comes from a scholarly family, it has long since declined by Zhou Zhengbin's generation. The fact that he can work as a policeman in a patrol camp for a living is a sign of not being pedantic and being aware of current affairs. You must know that being a policeman is comparable to being a teacher or something like that.

There are many more, and he can also enter the system and use the protective umbrella of the police to protect his family and relatives from being bullied. This is the real reason why he entered the patrol camp as a policeman as a scholar.

After the original patrol camp was destroyed, because Li Zhigao was mainly secretive and acted in a hurry, those who were still alive in the patrol camp were taken as prisoners to mine. It is unlikely that a few of them will be released. Well

Let the outside world think that they were all killed by "revolutionary party rebels".

But most of the patrol battalion officers and soldiers are locals. They are dead and missing, and many of their families are still there. These people cannot be simply ignored. After all, they are a large group, so someone needs to comfort them and give an explanation to the outside world.

, to make outsiders believe that the patrol camp was harmed by the revolutionary party, and Li Zhigao and the others were the saviors. However, in this case, Li Zhigao and the others alone would not be able to do it, and the patrol camp itself would have to do so. Only

Only if your own people agree on the same thing, others will believe it.

The person who does the best in this regard is undoubtedly Zhou Zhengbin.

At that time, Zhou Zhengbin not only relied on him very well and took the initiative to explain the problem, but also took the initiative to help appease the people and help him cover up his lies, saying that many of his colleagues were indeed bewitched by the Revolutionary Party, and this time they were indeed seduced by the Revolutionary Party.

The Revolutionary Party was harmed, etc. In short, such a combination of internal and external deception made Li Zhigao's not-so-smart "Revolutionary Party conspiracy theory" tenable.

Since then, Zhou Zhengbin has fallen into Li Zhigao's eyes, but he still needs more tests. This trip to Shanghai was actually a test for him, but he didn't expect that he really had relatives in Shanghai, and he still had relatives in Shanghai.

He is just relatively familiar with the situation in Shanghai. In other words, even if he has no relatives in Shanghai, he will be sent to follow him.

Isn't such a person who is well-behaved, educated, not pedantic, aware of current affairs, and capable of telling lies the kind of intelligence chief Li Zhigao needs most?

Because of this, after this trip to Shanghai, Li Zhigao officially planned to accept Zhou Zhengbin into his inner circle and make him one of the future intelligence chiefs.

Of course, Li Zhigao cannot put all his eggs in one basket. History has proven that you cannot just establish one spy agency. You must establish several more agencies, and then disperse the power and let each other restrict each other.

is the safest.

For example, his special forces are actually a secret force that only listens to his orders. Even if his career develops in the future, he will not leave this secret force to others to command. In a way, his

The special forces, which can be regarded as a private secret service, can ignore all laws and morals and only serve him alone. It is the most powerful knife in his hand.

In other words, in Li Zhigao's plan, the Security Bureau is an intelligence organization that is only responsible for itself. It is its own eyes and ears. Although it has independent powers of investigation and arrest, it does not have the power of trial. The power of trial is still

In his own hands, it's a bit like military control.

Naturally, even if it is just an intelligence organization, it is impossible for the Security Bureau to dominate alone. Another intelligence organization must be established to restrict each other, and an organization similar to the Central Unification Organization must be established. For this organization, Li Zhigao has already made a plan.

The name of this organization is "Internal Investigation Bureau".

It should be said that the history of the Internal Investigation Bureau is earlier than that of the Security Bureau, because the predecessor of this department was the intelligence network first established by Li Zhigao, but it was not intentional at that time.

Long before Li Zhigao planned to establish a security bureau, he actually had a relatively rudimentary intelligence system. This intelligence system did not have a formal name or organization at the time, only a relatively general intelligence network, and the person in charge of this intelligence network,

It's Sun Shun next to me.

All in all, the establishment of this intelligence network started with the connection with the prefect Wang Yongni.

In order to eliminate the patrol camp, we needed a communication bridge with the prefect and others, so we sent Sun Shun as the liaison officer. The reason why Sun Shun was chosen at that time was because Li Zhigao did not have many manpower available at the time, and Sun Shun was considered Li Zhigao's liaison officer.

A servant that Zhigao was familiar with, and he seemed to be very loyal, literate, and smart, so he was the best candidate at the time.

Later, the patrol camp was destroyed and Sun Shun came back, but the secret intelligence network that he had paid to buy based on Li Zhigao's will, that is, the intelligence network composed of the servants in Wang Yongni's mansion, had not disappeared, so

After that, Sun Shun was simply left in the city and let him continue to manage the intelligence line.

Therefore, the reason why Li Zhigao grasped Wang Yongni's every move so clearly was because almost all the servants in Wang Yongni's mansion were bribed by Sun Shun. This matter is not difficult. After all, Wang Yongni was appointed by an outsider.

, there were not many people around when he came, so it was too easy to spend money to bribe his servants to get some information.

From that time, Li Zhigao realized that although Sun Shun didn't have much ability, he had always been very loyal and could handle everything he assigned him, so he simply promoted him to the position of Taiping Mansion Boutique House.

The acting general manager of the old house became the housekeeper of the boutique house. As for the original housekeeper of the boutique house, Liu Runsheng's wife Zhang, for safety reasons, she and her mother-in-law's family had already moved to the Chenjiazhuang villa.

Already.

At least so far, Sun Shun has done a pretty good job. Not only has he managed the boutique house well, but his intelligence network has also been very stable and has developed significantly. Basically, every yamen in Taiping Prefecture has people like Sun Shun.

The person who tipped off the information, Sun Shun, also made a list of every expenditure incurred in communicating with people, and could be consulted by Li Zhigao at any time. It seemed that he did not benefit from the information fee given by Li Zhigao.

But Li Zhigao knew very well that it wasn't that Sun Shun didn't want to reap the benefits, but that he didn't dare. After all, he had just got this new position not long ago, and his position was not secure. In addition, he knew very well how he got everything, so he cherished it even more.

Be careful.
