Qin Zhiyuan visited almost all the institutions in Thunder City and Trident City this time, just like a king inspecting his territory. Qin Zhiyuan didn't need to do anything more. He only needed to walk around and he could explain a lot of things.
Eric has been having some problems recently. Last month, he secretly met with an unidentified person from Paris at the August Jasmine Restaurant. It was later confirmed that this person was from the Ministry of the Interior in Paris. The specific reason for meeting Eric is unclear.
On the way back, Gao Hongshi reported to Qin Zhiyuan on the latest progress of the Detective Division's work.
Qin Zhiyuan, a former agent, will naturally not relax his intelligence work. The Detective Division is an intelligence unit born out of the Reconnaissance Company. It is responsible for internal surveillance and external operations. Its target is all those who have contact with the First Division and Corsica.
and units.
Of course, the above is just an ideal state. In fact, the bedding surface cannot be that bright, otherwise the manpower and funds required will be astronomical.
In fact, there are not so many units and people that need to be monitored, only those at the top, such as members of the parliament and officials in government agencies. Eric, who is the speaker of the Trident City Council, is on the watch list
above.
Don't rush to close the net first. Let's observe for a while to figure out what Eric is doing. If necessary, you can send an action team to Paris. Qin Zhiyuan is really not in a hurry.
Strictly speaking, apart from the fact that there are more Chinese people on Corsica, there is nothing out of the ordinary. Qin Zhiyuan can withstand the investigation. I am afraid that some people are deliberately looking for trouble, but Qin Zhiyuan has to take precautions. Necessary precautions are still needed.
some.
The focus is on the research institute. In addition to researchers, all logistics and security personnel must be replaced by our own people. Even Sandy and Michelle’s drivers, I need to know that they take them with them when they go to the toilet every day.
What? Qin Zhiyuan has a focus.
At the level of Sandy and Michelle, there is no need to worry about leaks. For example, the character of highly educated scientists like Sandy and Michelle can still be trusted.
What was unbelievable was the people around Sandy and Michelle.
Qin Zhiyuan assigned a car to each of Sandy and Michelle. Originally, the driver would also be dispatched with the car, but due to Sandy and Michelle's insistence, Sandy and Michelle hired them themselves instead. Sandy
Michelle was hired by two middle-aged men from France. It is said that they were originally distant relatives of Michelle and had been implicated in the affairs of Michelle's family. After Michelle's family moved to Corsica,
These people came to apply with their families. Michelle and Sandy were too embarrassed to refuse, so they arranged a driving job, which could help them support their family.
There are many such people, such as the nannies and servants in Michelle's family, who are all relatives who came to seek refuge with Michelle. Only God knows if they have a special mission.
Basically all have been replaced. All the workers and security personnel are members of the Detective Division, both Chinese and French. All the French are members of the Knights Templar, so there is no problem with their loyalty. Although Gao Hongshi is still nominally a
Qin Zhiyuan's adjutant is actually not with Qin Zhiyuan more often because he still serves as the director of the Detective Division.
Pierre and Gao Hongshi are now taking turns serving as Qin Zhiyuan's adjutants. When Gao Hongshi comes back, Pierre will take the initiative to take leave, and when Pierre comes back, Gao Hongshi will do the same.
The Trident City Port Authority has a list of more than 40 people on it, all of whom are sailors on merchant ships who have tried to enter Trident City within this month. More than 30 of them are definitely not a threat and just want to go to the market.
They were having fun in the area, but the remaining dozen were still under suspicion and were detained in the police station for further investigation. David requested that relevant legislation be enacted as soon as possible, so that they could be punished justifiably. Gao Hongshi was a bit too in charge.
Legislation is a big issue. It must not conflict with the constitution, but also fully protect the interests of Corsica. This balance is difficult to strike. Fortunately, it is during the world war, and many lawyers stay at home and are close to being semi-employed because they have no lawsuits to fight.
. Pierre did not follow Qin Zhiyuan when he came back this time. One of his tasks was to find a few notorious lawyers and set up a legislative committee to improve the local laws of Corsica.
As for why they are notorious, there is a reason. Just like tax evasion, you must be able to find loopholes to succeed, and under normal circumstances, notorious lawyers attract notoriety because they are good at exploiting loopholes.
They are the real experts, much better than the mediocre people who just follow the instructions.
Don’t worry about legislation. This work will be completed soon. However, you cannot place all your hopes on legislation. This will require a long process and will be adjusted at any time according to changes in circumstances. What you have to do now is to eliminate hidden dangers.
Try to nip the problem in the bud. Don't wait until after the incident to deal with it. Try to do the work up front. Qin Zhiyuan still focuses on prevention.
Counterintelligence work, or secrecy work, is mainly a matter of vigilance. If it is emphasized frequently and spurred on from time to time, most leaks can be prevented. A large part of the reason why officials or scientific researchers leak secrets is because of luck.
Psychologically, if they clearly know the rigor of the Detective Division and the serious consequences of leaking secrets or rebelling, those people may not give up their stable jobs and take risks.
Qin Zhiyuan implemented a 12-level wage system in Corsica, ranging from the lowest daily wage of three francs to the highest daily wage of sixty francs.
The lowest among them is the workers hired from North Africa, with an average of three francs per day, which is enough to ensure basic living.
The soldiers of the 1st Division received a daily salary of 10 francs, which was a wartime salary limited to combat troops, and 6 francs a day during leave.
The salary of government civil servants is not fixed. It fluctuates according to the total salary of everyone. The average salary of everyone under Qin Zhiyuan is taken, which is basically about six francs.
Those with the highest salaries are scientific researchers. For example, Michel and Sandy's current salary is 60 francs per day.
Qin Zhiyuan's personal salary is even lower than that of scientific researchers, only 50 francs per day. The salary of military chiefs in each department decreases in turn, until the lowest non-commissioned officer, the second lieutenant, earns 20 francs per day during wartime.
The salary of technical soldiers is about 15 francs per day, which is slightly lower than that of second lieutenants and slightly higher than that of ordinary soldiers. These people include navy soldiers, armored force soldiers and technicians in artillery.
The sergeant major's salary is a special exception. It is the same as that of a lieutenant and can receive 25 francs per day.
This salary is already very high. If converted into US dollars, each soldier can get a salary of about 60 US dollars per month. If they use their salary to buy a Ford Model T car made in the United States, then they only need
After saving for five and a half months, you can buy one.
Corresponding to high welfare is high burden.
This was most evident when Qin Zhiyuan listened to the reports of Huang Fugui and Gaspard.
Gaspard has now won Qin Zhiyuan's trust and is responsible for making money for Qin Zhiyuan. Huang Fugui continues to serve as Qin Zhiyuan's housekeeper and now manages an accounting team that performs the functions of the Ministry of Finance and is responsible for all expenditure reviews
, which is considered a special expense.
Qin Zhiyuan's men are now considered to be full-fledged. To be continued.
