The cooperation with Soviet experts was bumpy and bumpy, with no major conflicts and constant minor ones. Lu Ming felt fortunate that there were finally no issues of principle.
The Soviet experts liked dancing and held parties every weekend and asked the Chinese to provide dance partners. Lu Ming had to spend money to find dancers for them from Paramount.
Huang Yanning was very angry because of this incident. He quarreled with Lu Ming several times. He was determined not to spoil them. This was a bad habit.
"Master Lu, can't you see that in fact, what they want is sexual services, wouldn't it be shameful to tell them!" Huang Yanning was furious.
"I know, anyway, this is what Paramount dancers do. You and I agree, so we don't have to worry about it and let them go." Lu Ming felt uncomfortable in his heart and said suppressing his anger.
"If you agree to do this, are we no longer pimps?" Huang Yanning was angry about this, he felt embarrassed.
"The faculty activity area has been strictly separated from the students. As long as they do not harass female students, it will be fine. We must control this." Lu Ming said.
Although he had objections to the Soviet experts' lust, Lu Ming also admired the professionalism of several experts. They were absolutely impeccable in teaching, and they were not found to be taking advantage of female students.
Shortly after giving the lecture, Soviet experts suggested that Lu Ming set up a new department dedicated to producing a series of fake documents, such as fake passports, fake academic qualifications, fake identities and resume compilation, etc.
"Lu, with this internal service department, field agents have roots. They are no longer water without a source or a tree without roots. Although the internal service leads the field service, it must also serve the field service wholeheartedly." The head of the Soviet expert group said sincerely
Said to Lu Ming.
"According to your opinion, aren't we rebuilding a military intelligence bureau?" Lu Ming asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I just suggest that you imitate the Soviet Military Intelligence Agency and establish an agency of the same nature in China. The agents we are training now are all elites, and they will be responsible for developing spies and instigating counter-espionage in the future." The head of the Soviet expert group analyzed
road.
Lu Ming was frightened by his statement. He did not have such big ambitions, but the suggestions of the Soviet expert group seemed very reasonable.
Seeing that Lu Ming had no comment, the leader continued: "These students are like seeds. They will take root and sprout when they grow up. They may lead ten or a dozen agents in the future. If this continues, it will not take ten years.
With time, we can build a complete intelligence network."
Lu Ming didn't know how to express his opinion on his suggestion and couldn't make the decision, so he had to go to Sheng Youde for instructions.
Although the Intelligence Department is now nominally under the direct jurisdiction of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, the actual backstage boss is Sheng Youde, and all funds are provided by him.
After listening to Lu Ming's report, Sheng Youde thought for less than a minute before making a decision: "Listen to them and come up with a plan first."
"Old man, but this will cost a lot of money?" Lu Ming grinned bitterly.
"If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Money should be spent wisely. The money is worth spending." Sheng Youde said.
"You always say you want money to make money, but if you invest this huge amount of money, you can get some information, but you can't bring back actual benefits. Why did you decide to do this?" Lu Ming was a little confused.
"You are right. On the surface, it seems that we are doing a loss-making business, with only input and no output. In fact, this is a wrong idea. Why money can make money is because we have intelligence. Without the support of intelligence, money will lose money.
If you let it out, you will only earn interest at most, but with the support of intelligence, money can not only make money, but also increase in value infinitely like rabbits multiplying. This is how our Sheng family started." Sheng Youde said with a smile.
"Have you changed your mind and plan to do business with the Japanese? Doesn't this violate your business principles?" Lu Ming was even more confused.
"In the field of international finance, there are no national boundaries. You still can't understand this. Japan not only releases spies to all countries, but its counter-espionage methods are also very sophisticated, so now Japan is a restricted area for the intelligence communities of various countries."
Sheng Youde smiled and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, as if to say, boy, do your best, information is a priceless treasure.
"As long as you are willing to invest money, I would be happy to do so." Lu Ming laughed.
"Many people think that intelligence is only useful to governments and military departments of various countries. In fact, they are wrong. Intelligence is more important to the financial field." Sheng Youde added the finishing touch.
Lu Ming seemed to understand a little bit. He was really a little worried before coming. Sheng Youde would definitely not agree to such a large increase in investment. He came here just to say it.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Youde's ideas were more radical than his. Maybe he really hadn't reached Sheng Youde's level and couldn't understand many things and couldn't see the essence.
As Sheng Youde said, as long as you have money, anything can be done, or some things should be done regardless of the cost. The two principles are interlinked.
Lu Ming began to prepare for the establishment of a new department, which was basically modeled on the structure of the Soviet Military Intelligence Bureau. He wanted to establish a military intelligence bureau in China, which was far beyond the secret intelligence office he originally conceived.
The expansion report was sent to Nanjing, and Mr. Chiang seemed to be happy about it. Some people helped him pay for it, and some people helped him provide efforts to establish a large-scale military intelligence department for the Republic of China government. He had no reason to object and approved it with a stroke of his pen.
.
All that's left is to find experts from all walks of life. These experts can be described as diverse, including sculptors, painters, mathematicians and even philosophers.
Some of these experts are from China and are well-known figures in various fields, and more are hired from abroad. These experts must also receive a series of training from Soviet experts.
People from all walks of life came to Shanghai one after another, and the prototype of the Secret Intelligence Service, which was upgraded to the Secret Intelligence Service, was gradually established. It was already the summer of 1934.
Naturally, a lot of things happened during this period. Ning Xin'er fully recovered after receiving treatment in the United States. After her physical recovery, she studied English specifically. Now she can speak fluent English, and her self-confidence has naturally increased.
After arriving in the United States, Yuan Mingzhu accepted Mr. Frank's advice. While accompanying Ning Xiner for treatment, she devoted herself to learning the most advanced cryptography.
Yuan Mingzhu was originally interested in cryptography, and now she encountered such a good opportunity, so she devoted herself wholeheartedly to it, forgetting sleep and food, and has now reached the level of a researcher.
Frank was very surprised. He did not expect that Yuan Mingzhu was a cryptographic genius and made rapid progress. It only took two years to reach the expert level.
Frank therefore suggested that Yuan Mingzhu should not return to China for the time being, consolidate the cryptographic skills he has mastered, and further study the latest technology.
The news spread to China, and Lu Ming also approved this plan. If Mingzhu becomes a cryptography expert, she can also show off her skills in the Secret Intelligence Agency in the future.
Now the situation is reversed. After recovering, Ning Xiner has become Mingzhu's companion.
Ning Zetao has returned to China a long time ago. The Cao Gang cannot be without its leader for a long time, otherwise all the gangs will be in chaos. Only Ning Zetao can hold down the formation.
Yan Xiaohui also completed her further studies in the UK and returned to China. She is still working as a doctor at Tongji Hospital, but she is now the chief gynecologist at Tongji Hospital.
Nourished by the British atmosphere again, Yan Xiaohui returned to Shanghai with a more elegant temperament and still insisted on not getting involved in the family business in order to maintain his independent lifestyle.
Father Yan Hongdao is very anxious about his daughter's marriage. Now her daughter is unwilling to find a husband and is unwilling to take over the family business. The Yan family's huge property is facing a situation where no one can take over.
Du Juan is still engaged in dangerous underground work, but under the protection of Lu Ming's carefully woven umbrella, the secret is finally not exposed.
The Fuxing Society was abolished, merged with the Intelligence Department of the Central Executive Committee, and a new Intelligence Bureau was established. It had two divisions, one was the original Intelligence Department of the Central Executive Committee, headed by Xu Enzeng, and the other was headed by Dai Li.
The whole team of the original Fuxing Society.
There have been no changes at the Shanghai Station. Weng Bailing is still the station director, Zhao Yuanliang is the deputy station director, Lu Ming and Huang Yanning naturally left the Shanghai station, and Sheng Youde no longer provides financial support to the new department.
Lu Ming bought a building in the public concession as the office building of the Secret Intelligence Service. It was taller and more majestic than the original office building of Fuxing Society, but the sign outside read Sheng's Industrial Market Research Department.
Everyone in the Intelligence Department also has a double identity. One is the identity of the Intelligence Department, which is secret, and the other is the identity of the Sheng Industry Market Research Department, but this false identity is public.
After the first batch of trainees graduated, forty people entered Japan as students and immigrants, and they are all safe so far. Another forty people were sent to the Northeast to collect intelligence on the Kwantung Army.
The second batch of students is about to graduate. The number of students in this batch was expanded from 80 to 200 in the end.
This is also the opinion of Soviet experts. They believe that since it will be reorganized into the Intelligence Bureau in the future, it will cost so much money and manpower to train only 80 agents in one period, which is really a waste.
