Chapter 2015
For Haihan, North Korea is currently one of the most important allies, and it is also the top priority of Haihan's diplomatic work in the past two years.This is related to Haihan's development plan in Northeast Asia in the next few years. For this reason, Haihan has invested a lot of resources in North Korea in the past few years. The political, economic, cultural, military and other fields are exerted at the same time, and the purpose is to draw North Korea into the international camp dominated by Hai Han.
Under such a major policy, the political stance of the current and future rulers of North Korea has naturally become one of the goals of Haihan's efforts in the diplomatic field.In addition to trying his best to win over King Li Yi, Hai Han also worked hard on his heir to the throne, Li Yan.For example, by arranging Li Yi to study in Haihan, he hoped to take this opportunity to instill more ideas beneficial to Haihan in Li Yi, so that North Korea could continue to serve as Haihan's ally after he took over the ruling power.
However, the matter of arranging Li Yi to study abroad in Haihan was still a secret to the outside world before Li Yan set off from Seoul, and the Spaniard's base is far away in the depths of the South China Sea, so it is logically impossible to know Li Yi's visit in time With the news of Haihan, why did Li Xun participate in the assassination shortly after he arrived in Hainan Island.Moreover, the Spaniards' participation in this matter does not seem to see the motivation for them to directly benefit from it.
It is difficult for He Xi to provide a clear answer to Tao Donglai's question: "This will probably not be understood until we catch the Spaniards who participated in it. But I think their participation is just to show their attitude, the real mastermind It’s actually those unidentified southern sea merchants.”
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"According to what we know, Spain and North Korea have not established official ties, and there is no open trade, so they don't have much real interest in North Korea. , there is no direct benefit to Spain, but not necessarily to those maritime merchants. Before us, there were many Han Chinese maritime merchants who were trading with North Korea. , it is very likely that some wrong information will be conveyed to the Han sea merchants, and they will be lured to our country to take action against Li Yan."
The possibility mentioned by He Xi does exist objectively, and the inference is more reasonable, because everyone believes that the Spaniards can intervene in the affairs of these regions. The behind-the-scenes messenger revealed in the movie seems to fit this setting just right.
"But who are these Han maritime merchants? Is there any evidence to prove that they have conflicts of interest with North Korea?" Bex asked.
He Xi smiled bitterly and said: "This is exactly what we are going to investigate with all our strength. We know that these people are key figures, but we don't know their true identities. I have reason to suspect that the events that happened in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Liaodong are also caused by this group of people. People are doing evil in secret. If their identities are found out, perhaps the doubts in these cases will be revealed."
The Ministry of Security has actually thought of many ways to investigate the identities of these mysterious behind-the-scenes black hands, but so far the progress has not been very satisfactory.Although these people caught in Danzhou have confessed one after another, the information obtained from them is far from meeting the expectations of the Ministry of Security.Most of them are messengers who communicate with their employers through a single line. The other party will issue tasks and corresponding remuneration to them at certain time points, but there are very few opportunities to actually meet the employers. Not necessarily once.
As for the real identity of the employer, the exact information these people could provide was too vague, so He Xi had to mobilize members of the security department from all over the world to slowly verify the authenticity of the information.However, He Xi is not too optimistic about whether he can find the right owner by following the vines, because it has been many days since the group was arrested and began to confess. If their employer realizes that the group has lost contact, it is likely to send All previous contacts are cleared.
Although the true identity of the opponent is not yet clear, He Xi can truly feel that the opponent's behavior this time is different from the opponents he has encountered in the past. Lu Zi's approach, but his handwriting is astonishingly large. The span of this region and country alone is definitely not something that ordinary people can accomplish.He Xi even thought that even Daming's official intelligence agency might not be able to do a better job than this group of people.
Such an experienced, well-organized and financially powerful gang suddenly popped up without warning, He Xi felt that such a situation was unscientific.To be honest, in the entire southeast coast, almost all the powerful maritime merchants have more or less conflicts of interest with Haihan, and most of the merchants who reject or even intend to fight against Haihan slowly die after a period of time. disappeared from the market.
Standing in the same camp as Haihan can ensure a stable and stable profit, which has basically become the consensus of maritime merchants along the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty.Under such circumstances, he still dared to sing against Hai Han. What kind of considerations were behind this? This is also a question that He Xi has never figured out.The measure he can take is to investigate on a large scale, and investigate those businessmen who have had conflicts or conflicts with Haihan, but this kind of investigation is time-consuming and laborious. If it is not for the overwhelming luck, it is estimated that there will be no special breakthroughs in the short term. .
Since the Ministry of Security was established ten years ago, it seems that it has rarely encountered such a situation in the process of investigating a case, and this time it is not only the Ministry of Security that feels difficult during the investigation process, but also participates in the investigation The MIB also failed to make much progress.The two intelligence agencies, which have mainly existed in a competitive relationship for a long time, have become brothers and sisters this time. They have to cooperate in part of the investigation work and share the intelligence information they have.
"I think the investigation work has entered a dead end. Have you considered changing the direction of investigation?" Gu Kai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke the awkward silence: "Think about what we have so far. The situation, who provided the weapons and who used the weapons, in fact, we have already found out the general situation. The biggest problem now is that we cannot find out who provided the channel for this cooperation, but our investigation focuses on On the weapon user side, why not try to investigate from the other end?"
He Xi asked thoughtfully, "You mean, let's investigate the Spaniards directly?"
Gu Kai nodded and said: "That's right, the Spaniard's current territory is far away from Hainan Island, and they should not get relevant news so quickly. I think you can consider trying this way."
"It's not that we can't try..." Although He Xi felt that Gu Kai's suggestion was a bit bold, it made sense after careful consideration.
If the Spaniards contacted the powers on the mainland through the channels provided by the intermediary, then the feedback of information must be very slow for cooperation with such a large geographical span.After the defeat of the Spaniards in Manila, their range of activities has retreated southward to near the equator, thousands of miles away from Hainan Island and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Considering that they may have to pass through intermediaries to obtain news, this delay will definitely be longer. It is also difficult to respond to changes on the mainland in a timely manner.
As for how to get to the area controlled by Spain in the South China Sea, this is not unsolvable.After the war in Manila, although most of the Spaniards managed to flee the area, there were still a considerable number of Hispanic people who had nowhere to go and could only stay in the area to accept the rule of Haihan.
In post-war Manila, it is not uncommon for local Hispanic people to choose to work for Haihan. For example, the former Spanish official Colonel Francis successfully changed his face from the commander of the Manila City Defense to the director of the Hispanic People's Administration.As for the younger generation who were born and raised in Manila, their sense of belonging to the Spanish Empire is not that strong, and some of them want to take advantage of this change of dynasty to seek an opportunity to break through the class.
Ran Tianlu, the local head of the Ministry of Security, and Fang Peng, the local head of the Military Intelligence Bureau, are more familiar with the situation in Manila, and have gradually recruited some people from the local area after the war.These people are not all Han Chinese, and among them are young Hispanics who can't even speak Chinese.
The purpose of absorbing these Hispanic youths into the intelligence agencies is of course to send them to carry out missions against Spain one day.If it is necessary to investigate the Spaniards far south of Manila, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice to try to send these Hispanic spies.But doing so will inevitably lead to certain risks. First, these people have not been in Haihan for a long time, and their loyalty has not been tested enough. Second, the training they have received may not be up to the level of carrying out this type of investigation mission. However, sending him to the Spanish-controlled area to collect intelligence may not be able to achieve the expected results.
But the current investigation has indeed entered a dead end as described by Gu Kai, increasing the direction of the investigation, launching related investigations against the Spaniards in the South China Sea is also a solution to the problem.If done well, they can train a group of Hispanic intelligence officers while harvesting intelligence, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.If it didn't go so smoothly, then nothing would be gained, and it wouldn't be worse than the current situation. At most, it would just lose a few new Hispanics, and it wouldn't be a big loss to the Ministry of Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau.
While He Xi was still weighing the pros and cons, Yan Chujie first expressed his opinion on behalf of the military: "Gu Kai mentioned that you can give it a try, even if you don't find any information related to the few cases here, you can also collect some other information. "
Yan Chujie's idea is that if there are fish but no fish, first set a net to fish twice, if you can't catch big fish, if you can catch some small fish and dried shrimps, it's not in vain.For Haihan, the current situation of the Spanish colonists in the South China Sea is valuable information, even if they just send someone to take a look, the trip will definitely not be in vain.
This kind of thinking is very practical, and probably only the military would consider the pros and cons so directly. Yan Chujie's statement basically represented the attitude of the Military Intelligence Bureau.If He Xi doesn't follow up, then it's a loser, and he can only respond now: "Minister Yan is right, then I will send a telegram as soon as possible after the meeting, and let Manila arrange the action."
It took only a few words for the big shots of the executive committee to make such a decision, but He Xi knew that it was enough to keep the people below busy for a long time.To formulate an action plan, select personnel to perform tasks, send people to unknown areas in the South China Sea, and then complete the investigation to obtain feedback, no matter how efficient it is, it will inevitably take a month or two.But at present, it seems that since this is one of the few feasible investigation directions, and there may be additional gains, it can only be implemented according to the resolution of the Executive Committee.
However, as Yan Chujie said, there are actually many fields of information that can be collected for this kind of mission, and He Xi is also going to make full use of this mission to maximize the possible effect.For example, it might be a good time to take this opportunity to start building an intelligence network mainly composed of Hispanic intelligence personnel in the Spanish-controlled area of the South China Sea.
Of course, it is not as easy as it sounds to establish an intelligence network in an enemy-controlled area. This requires thorough planning, a lot of investment, and capable and reliable executive personnel.At present, although the quality of the members of the Security Department stationed in Manila is good, the number is really limited. If such a task is to be carried out, it really has to rely on local Hispanic intelligence personnel.
"The Ministry of Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau are free to do it!" Tao Donglai quickly set the tone for this matter: "The recent series of incidents have shown that the struggle between us and Spain will not end soon, so the The intelligence work in the West still needs to be done unremittingly. Regardless of whether the subsequent investigation goes well, we must establish a monitoring system for the Spaniards, and we must try to limit their activities to the south of Luzon Island!"
Tao Donglai's attitude basically represents the attitude of the executive committee, and as long as the executive committee expresses its approval, the resources and funds needed for follow-up actions should not be a problem, and to a certain extent, it will also help them eliminate the problem. worries.
Sure enough, in the later voting session, the Executive Committee passed a resolution on launching a special investigation into the Spanish-controlled area, and authorized the Ministry of Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau to implement this resolution. implement.
After the meeting, the Ministry of Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau held their own meetings and began to deploy related tasks.Then later that day, the relevant resolutions were sent by telegram to Manila.At this time, more than [-] days had passed since the arrest of the Danzhou case was completed, and three days had passed since Gong Shiqi's team returned to Zhoushan. In the distant Liaodong, Sun Bing had just discovered traces of Spanish activities. They have not yet made great progress, but the clues discovered in various places are slowly connected together, all pointing to the Spaniards far away in the South China Sea.
