Kang Ze stood up and said: "As for the arrangements for intelligence work, Vice President Lu has basically talked about it. I won't repeat it. The last thing I want to say is that once the intelligence obtained helps us find criminal prisoners, political prisoners or
For foreign spies, we must cooperate with the Shanghai Police Department, Songhu Security Command and Shanghai Special Operations Brigade. We have the right to interrogate criminals with them and convict criminals with them, but we do not have independent law enforcement power."
Hearing what he said, everyone nodded.
After all, the Blue Clothes Club is just a social organization, not a law enforcement agency. Of course, it does not have independent law enforcement power, which is also an inherent flaw.
After Kang Ze finished speaking, he asked everyone if they had anything to add. Everyone shook their heads and Kang Ze announced that the meeting was adjourned.
Lu Ming and Kang Ze returned to the fourth floor. Kang Ze said with a smile: "Brother, thank you very much this time. It's not because you are smart and you have a way. Let alone the first three kicks, this first kick will not be able to kick out."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "We are all one family, so you're welcome. Actually, your brother is just here for the first time, so he has no idea about the situation in Shanghai. You'll be fine once you get familiar with it."
"It's a very important matter. You need to worry more about the field work. The Chairman is waiting for our good news." Kang Ze said sincerely.
Since the field service aspect has actually fallen into Lu Ming's control, it would be better to hand it over quickly and get it back when needed later. This was Kang Ze's idea at the time.
"Brother Kang, I am just assisting you in your work. You are the leader and I am the deputy. In the field, let's just establish a special operations division. Your brother will also serve as the director of this division and appoint a deputy. This special operations division will be responsible for handling informants and guiding them.
The informant works, collects and organizes intelligence, and is specifically responsible for carrying out surveillance, tracking, tracking, arresting and other actions." Lu Ming suggested.
Kang Ze's eyes lit up: "Brother, are you willing to hand over all your informants?"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you still don't understand me. I have no interest in getting promoted and making money. I am still a non-Party person. I am just doing my duty."
"Sorry, I was wrong. Indeed, promotion and wealth cannot attract people like you. I know you are unwilling to join any party, and you don't take money seriously." Kang Ze smiled apologetically.
He really envied Lu Ming who had reached the pinnacle of life at a young age. His family had endless money. He was a talented student graduated from Harvard and a special correspondent for a major foreign news agency. He was the real uncrowned king. There were indeed many people in this world.
Kang Ze knew that joining the Lanyi Club was not Lu Ming's original intention, but was arranged by Sheng Youde. If it hadn't been for Sheng Youde's careful design, he would have stayed far away. The Lanyi Club was not fun.
Sheng Youde asked him to come to the Lanyi Club to take charge of the finances. It was a very clever strategy. It not only gave the chairman face, but also gained him some respect. It was a win-win situation.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Ming posed no threat to him and would not be his competitor in his future career.
Lu Ming sneered in his heart. He would not really control the informant cake. He had to hand it over. This way he could know all the information and be exempted from any responsibilities. Why not?
There is a reason why Lu Ming proposed to establish a field special operations office. Since Zeng Zhi and the others are secretly training field personnel, these people will definitely be filled into the Shanghai branch, and a special operations brigade will definitely be established by then. If he wants to control this area, he will
Informants and field operations have to be tied together.
Another reason is also very important. He wants to bring An Gonggen and the special operations brigade of the Korean martyrs into the Blue Clothes Club as the first special operations brigade of the Special Operations Division, so that they can be used before the personnel trained by Zeng Zhi arrive.
Seize a position first.
An Gonggen and his brothers were Lu Ming's true confidants. He believed in these people and admired these people, not only for their professional ability to act, but also for their unyielding spirit of fighting the Japanese from the bottom of their hearts.
People from the Cao Gang can also be brought in to join the special operations brigade. He remembered that the Cao Gang still has some people with very good marksmanship. As for surveillance and tracking, they are the basic skills of the Cao Gang brothers, and these people can blend into various environments when they act.
Here, it will not arouse people's attention and suspicion.
The most important thing is that he must get rid of Kang Ze's suspicion and hostility towards him as soon as possible. This is difficult to do, but it must be done, otherwise his entry into the Blue Clothes Club will be meaningless.
On the surface, it seems that Kang Ze is always the elder brother and the younger brother is short of him, and it is very unwise for him to show off his heart and soul with him today. It is likely to deepen Kang Ze's suspicion and hostility.
But Lu Ming has an advantage that others cannot compete with. He has no personal interests. In Shanghai, he dares to fight with anyone. Even so, it is not advisable to make enemies for himself without any reason.
In fact, Lu Ming has a greater interest, which is to go all out to deal with the Japanese. In his heart, there is only one enemy: Japanese invaders.
He has no interest in other criminal or political prisoners.
When it comes to work, the role of special correspondent for the "Washington Post" can fully satisfy his interests and hobbies.
Kang Ze was very satisfied. In his eyes, Lu Ming was an outsider who was indifferent to worldly interests. Such a person was not only harmless to humans and animals, but also of practical use to him.
Kang Ze even felt a little guilty, feeling that he had been a bit of a villain before, and his selfish calculations were not in Lu Ming's eyes at all.
"By the way, Brother Kang, I have to run an informant outside tomorrow and need to work with them in person, so I won't come to the agency to report," Lu Ming said.
"Okay, if you have something to do, just go ahead and get busy. Time is very tight. Call my office when you have time. If there is anything you need to discuss, you can come back." Kang Ze readily agreed.
Not long after Lu Ming returned to his office, Huang Yanning came to the door with an anxious expression on his face.
Huang Yanning closed the door and sat in front of Lu Ming and said, "Master Lu, you have to help me this time. We are brothers, and I have to rely on you in the Lanyi Club."
"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There is no need to be so polite between you and me. Maybe in the future we will... Haha, let's not talk about it anymore." Lu Ming almost said the word "brother-in-law", but the horoscope is not there yet.
Just a flick.
Huang Yanning seemed not to have heard what Lu Ming said just now, and said impatiently: "Can the information obtained by the informants of the Shanghai Police Department be distributed to us and put in charge of me?"
Lu Ming understood that departments under several divisions of the intelligence department had begun to compete for intelligence sources.
Huang Yanning already had information from the informant at the Songhu Security Command, and he also wanted information from the police station.
"Why do you want to grab these? It's not necessary. The information will be shared in the society." Lu Ming really didn't think it was necessary.
"I said Master Lu, you are almost becoming an old Buddha. You are not interested in fame and fortune, but little people like us need it. The current personnel arrangement is only temporary, and there will definitely be changes in the future. Whoever goes down will come up, no.
Does it all depend on who can achieve results?" Huang Yanning said with a wry smile.
"That's right. Who is promoted depends on work performance." Lu Ming patted his head.
Although the personnel arrangements in the company are in place now, there will definitely be changes in the future, otherwise it will become a stagnant pool. Those who have made merit must be promoted, and those who have done nothing may be transferred or demoted.
.
The only one who is least interested in promotion and wealth is probably him, because he is already at the top of the pyramid and will not be suppressed by others.
But it happened that he didn't take all this seriously, or in other words, he wanted to get something bigger and more lofty, rather than an official position here.
"Brother Huang, do you think working here is really better than being an adjutant in the Songhu Garrison Command?"
Lu Ming asked with great interest. He had always been a little puzzled by Huang Yanning's enthusiasm to join the Lanyi Club. He felt that being a senior adjutant to the commander at the Songhu Garrison Command was much better than being the section chief now.
