"Let's talk about the urban area of Shanghai. Several detectives of the Shanghai Police Department have a number of informants. One of my brothers is the detective. We can definitely use the informants in his hands." Lu Ming said.
"Will these informants be willing to be used by us?" Director of the Sixth Intelligence Unit, who usually doesn't talk much, couldn't help but ask at this moment.
"Of course they are willing. They collect the same information and there are two buyers. They get double money. Of course they are eager for this." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"But in this way, the information we have can be obtained by others." Kang Ze frowned.
"There's no way around it. We can't ask for exclusive sources of intelligence, at least for the time being. We can consider selecting smart and capable people from them to lay a solid foundation for building our own team in the future." Lu Ming made some analysis.
"This is okay. At least it solves the current problem. As you said, we will gradually build our own team in the future." Kang Ze nodded.
Although the method provided by Lu Ming is somewhat far from Kang Ze's ideal intelligence source, at present, it is impossible to obtain an exclusive source of intelligence.
"Actually, this problem is not serious. You might as well think about it. A large part of the informants are hired by our family. Although some others are jointly hired by others, it is impossible for any one company to have all the information. They can only
For a small part of them, that is to say, among our colleagues in Shanghai, we have the most complete information and the greatest advantage." Lu Ming said.
"Well, we will understand when President Lu says this." Director of Intelligence Division IV smiled.
In Shanghai, all intelligence organizations have a single source of intelligence, and only the Blue Clothes Club's intelligence sources are comprehensive. When Kang Ze heard what Lu Ming said, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Let's look at some of the more difficult areas at present, namely the Japanese Consulate, the Japanese Concession, the Manchuria Railway Building and the Black Dragon Club. I plan to hand this area over to the action brigade of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea to help us monitor it. I and their people
We are very familiar with them. They have an sworn hatred with the Japanese and will not betray us." Lu Ming continued.
"Why use people from the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea? Are they doing things reliably?" Kang Taek asked uneasily. He had heard something about the activities of North Korean martyrs in China, but he didn't know much about it.
"Because they all speak Japanese, their daily life, food, and etiquette are almost the same as the Japanese. There is no difference between them and the Japanese in terms of language or behavior. Even the Japanese themselves can't tell the difference, so they can easily tell the difference."
He easily sneaked into the Japanese concession and monitored the movements of Japanese ronin, expatriates and Manchurian Railway agents in the concession for us."
"Okay, if we can convince them to work for us, that would be a good idea, but the question is, can we convince them?" asked the director of Intelligence Service 5.
"That's no problem. I have some friendship with An Gonggen. I have helped them before, and they have helped me. Of course, the remuneration paid to them is higher than that of ordinary informants, and the risks they take are greater." Lu Ming laughed.
He explained.
"As long as we can get valuable information, it's okay to pay more." The director of Intelligence Branch 5 said with a smile.
"If you say it's no problem, then it's no problem. You'll pay for it?" Director Intelligence Division IV joked.
"Of course I don't have any money. This depends on President Lu. He is our God of Wealth." Director of the Fifth Division said with a smile.
"No problem, I will figure out a way to deal with the money. The first step is to think about this much, so that our eyes and ears will cover almost half of Shanghai, and we can basically target the Japanese. Let's take a look.
Anything else to add?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
After saying that, he walked down and sat on his chair.
"I think this plan is very mature and complete. At least I can't make any additional suggestions. As long as these can be implemented, our intelligence network will be established." Director of the Fourth Intelligence Division smiled.
"Yeah, I think that's the case too." Director of the Fifth Division nodded.
The director of the Sixth Division simply nodded and did not comment.
"Brother Kang, what do you think?" Lu Ming asked.
"I think it's very good. Let's cast this wide net as soon as possible. After this step is fully implemented, we will see if there are any missing areas and then we can check and fill them in." Kang Ze thought for a while and said.
According to this plan, the informants are basically in Lu Ming's hands, which means that Lu Ming essentially controls the field operations of the intelligence system.
Kang Ze couldn't say anything, but he still felt it was inappropriate.
Although Lu Ming will hand over all the informant lists and information, and he and the division chiefs and section chiefs of the intelligence department can also control it, Lu Ming has the absolute initiative.
Kang Ze was thinking in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it. If Lu Ming handed over the list to him and let him control it, he really wouldn't be able to control the situation all at once.
Especially the Caobang and the action brigade of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, it is hard to say whether he can control them.
Forget it, let Lu Ming take control of the field department first. Kang Ze made up his mind. After all, he was in control of the overall situation. The field department was closely watched by the three intelligence chiefs and could not be completely left to Lu Ming.
In fact, Kang Ze really overthought things. Lu Ming didn't want to be in the limelight, but he had no choice. He couldn't just watch the Japanese enter Shanghai and do nothing.
If he just lets it go and just lies down, the Shanghai branch of Lanyishe will not be able to carry out intelligence collection work at all.
According to Kang Ze's plan, all informants would be trained by himself and only work for the Blue Clothes Club. This would be best, but in reality it doesn't work.
The Japanese warship has arrived at my doorstep, and the Japanese ronin's samurai sword is about to be unsheathed.
Time waits for no one.
If this operation had been against the Communist Party, Lu Ming might have been left alone. His principle is not to get involved in party struggles.
But now he had to deal with the Japanese, and the war was about to break out. He couldn't take too much care at this juncture, so he could only tell everything about his thoughts.
What makes Lu Ming feel proud is that An Gonggen and the others have finally been given a chance to succeed. As for the Caobang, they already have one-third of an acre of land of their own, and having you as a job is just to earn more money.
But it was different for An Gonggen and the others. They were sworn enemies of the Japanese and wanted to kill more Japanese. In addition, this was also a job with a fixed income, which allowed them to gain a foothold in Shanghai.
.
Lu Ming even had further plans. If this mission goes well, he would take the opportunity to directly integrate An Gonggen's team into the Shanghai branch of the Blue Clothes Club to form his own sphere of influence.
There are two advantages to doing this. First, An Gonggen is someone he trusts more. They have a direct team themselves. Second, they fight side by side with the Korean martyrs. They can be regarded as brothers fighting tigers. It is not necessary to join the Lanyi Club.
It's unjust.
The Kuomintang wanted to eliminate the Communist Party, which was far from Lu Ming's idea, and was not in line with Sheng Youde's original intention of generously donating money to the Blue Clothes Society.
Lu Ming is confident that the Korean righteous people have no anti-communist complex in the first place, and An Gonggen will follow his arrangements and become the middle force in the Blue Clothes Club, involving or even dividing and disintegrating the anti-communist forces.
This is exactly what Lu Ming wants to achieve.
"There is also telecommunications. We need to monitor the Japanese consulate, the Japanese fleet, and all the Japanese radio signals day and night. We need to know the time and volume of their transmissions. If we can crack their code, then we can
It couldn't be better." Lu Ming said to the Director of Telecommunications.
"We have been doing this. From now on, we will increase our workload and focus on testing and monitoring radio signals from the Japanese consulate, the Japanese fleet and the Japanese concession." said the director of the Telecommunications Department.
"That's good. I think the work is basically like this. After the intelligence from the informants is gathered, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Bureaus must divide the reports into one part, and then divide the reports into one part, and then carry out intelligence analysis." Lu Ming
He simply took responsibility to the end and was not afraid that Kang Ze would think he was being pushy.
"As ordered." The three division chiefs all stood up and replied.
"Brother Kang, I have finished what I have to say. Now I ask you to arrange the work." Lu Ming said modestly.
Kang Ze smiled bitterly in his heart: You have said everything that needs to be said, what else can I say?
Looking around again, the atmosphere in the conference room was much calmer than before. Everyone seemed to have fallen from the air to the ground again, and the moment of panic had passed.
The confidential secretaries sat in their seats, spread out their notepads, and waited for President Kang to make the final summary.
