He Xi was subconsciously startled when he heard these words, and soon realized that this was just a special method prepared by Yan Chujie, not a real military situation.But he still couldn't help confirming: "What you said is a situation that hasn't happened yet, right?"
Yan Chujie was very satisfied with He Xi's reaction, his expression relaxed a little, and he smiled and said, "If we need it to happen, it can happen at any time."
Since Haihan has been stationed in Jinzhou for many years, the military is basically responsible for the intelligence work against the Qing army. The Ministry of Security only sent a few people there symbolically. The military and civilians of Dongjiang Town.Therefore, regarding the situation of the Liaodong Qing army, the Ministry of Security actually has far less detailed information than the Military Intelligence Bureau. If the situation Yan Chujie said really happened, then the only credible source of intelligence for Haihan is the military.
Only then did He Xi understand why Yan Chujie was so sure about the effect of this matter. After all, the information on the situation in Liaodong was completely dependent on the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau. Let alone the Executive Committee, it was hard for him to doubt it. its authenticity.The combat readiness of the Qing army has always been the focus of the Executive Committee. If it is heard that the Qing army may master the manufacturing technology of Western-style guns and artillery, then the Executive Committee will definitely not sit still, and its attitude will not be the same as that of ordinary people. Hu Fan has so much to spare.
Once the Qing army has mastered advanced military technology, with the resources in its hands, it should be able to form a firearms unit that can threaten the safety of the Haihan army in a short period of time.In order to prevent the emergence of such a dangerous situation, it is very necessary to nip the situation in the bud.The safest way, of course, is to solve the problem at the source and wipe out the Hirado domain, so that no military technology will be leaked out.
As for the agreement with the Qing army to send troops together and carve up the Korean Peninsula from the north and the south, it may not make the executive committee very nervous, but it can obviously greatly increase the credibility of the rumors about military technology. After all Both the Qing army and the Japanese shogunate had a history of invading North Korea. After repeated failures, it seemed possible that the two parties would jointly send troops to attack North Korea.
He Xi thought about it carefully, and there was no obvious loophole in Yan Chujie's plan.He knew that most of the personnel in the Military Intelligence Bureau were selected by Yan Chujie himself, and everyone from top to bottom could be said to be Yan Chujie's cronies, so it would be no problem to handle this matter, and there was no need to worry about leaking secrets.This process does not even require the assistance of the Ministry of Security, and the military itself can operate it in a nearly perfect way.
"I have to admit that this is indeed a pretty good plan." After thinking for a while, He Xi also approved of Yan Chujie's plan.But he still needs to know how far Yan Chujie intends to operate this matter. He must know that since the Military Intelligence Bureau can fabricate false information once, it can theoretically fabricate several times.Or worse, in fact, the Military Intelligence Bureau had already taken actions of this nature before.
"Then what kind of goal does this plan have to achieve before it can be stopped? Can it be done only once and never twice?" He Xi asked.
Yan Chujie should have thought about this long ago, and immediately responded: "As long as the executive committee agrees to mobilize troops against Hirado, we can control the scale of follow-up actions by ourselves. As for the future... If I do it now If you make a promise, there is actually no guarantee that we will not make another shot when similar situations arise in the future. Of course, if doing so can make you feel at ease, then I don’t mind making more promises.”
He Xi's face darkened and said: "If this method becomes the usual method of the military, then I don't think it will be a good thing for the military or the country!"
"No, no, old He, you misunderstood me." Yan Chujie denied He Xi's accusation: "I just want to keep the method of correcting deviations to continue to exist, not to use this method at will to influence the executive committee. normal decision."
"But who knows? This kind of thing can be done by a single unit of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Executive Committee has no way to verify the authenticity of every piece of information from the north. There is no supervision mechanism. I am afraid that your military will start this way. Can't stop!" He Xi expressed deep worry about this.
"This is also one of the reasons why I invited you here today." Yan Chujie said seriously: "The only one who is really capable of supervising the Military Intelligence Bureau is your Security Department. I want to discuss with you about setting up a joint intelligence agency." On the one hand, it allows the two departments to communicate some key information in a more timely manner. On the other hand, it also facilitates the Ministry of Security to supervise the intelligence work of the military, so you don’t have to worry about the military hiding information from the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Security. Do something inappropriate."
He Xi thought for a while and said: "If this joint agency is to supervise the military's intelligence work, wouldn't it be necessary to give it great authority? In this way, the supervisory agency is above the existing intelligence department. It’s like creating a new privileged department.”
"The only prerogative of this department is the supervisory function, but they cannot interfere with the work of the military or the Ministry of Security. If they find problems, they can only submit them to you, me, or the executive committee, so that there is no need to override other departments. It's up. Of course, in order to play a supervisory role, the establishment of this department will be dominated by personnel from the Ministry of Security, and the military will only provide functions similar to military police." Yan Chujie patiently explained to him.
He Ximoran, if these conditions can be fulfilled, then Yan Chujie has indeed made a great concession on his own initiative. The so-called joint organization is actually just to make the supervision authority of the Ministry of Security look fairer. The real leader is undoubtedly Ministry of Security.Although there are no practical privileges, since this organization is under the management of the Ministry of Security, it is equivalent to being able to supervise the intelligence work of the military on behalf of the Executive Committee.Compared with the current situation where the executive committee is blind to this special field, it is indeed a considerable progress.
At this time, Bai Kesi also said: "We can do some things because we all have common interests on the table, and the purpose is to make this country strong and strong. But if the people below are not properly restricted and supervised, In the future, it is possible to use the privilege in the wrong place. Lao Yan will also worry that this incident will make similar practices become the norm in the future, so he took the initiative to propose this remedial plan to strengthen supervision and limit the authority of the Military Intelligence Bureau. "
If what Bai Kesi said is true, then Yan Chujie's attitude can be regarded as very correct, and he has already considered how to strengthen supervision before the measures are implemented this time, which is tantamount to blocking himself This vulnerability was discovered.
Yan Chujie said: "Old He, there are two points I hope you can understand. First, I can implement the plan I mentioned without telling you. The power is in your hands. There is only one reason why I choose to do this, and that is all for Haihan!"
After all, He Xi was persuaded by these two people, but he also expressed that he would not support the military to further expand the situation or launch a larger-scale war, and Yan Chujie needs to start the supervision plan he promised as soon as possible, no matter whether a new organization is established or not. Well, it’s okay to come up with the corresponding system rules, in short, this must be implemented.
Yan Chujie naturally agreed to this. He didn't just come to He Xi for supervision. To realize his vision for Hirado Fan, he still needed some necessary assistance from the Ministry of Security.Although He Xi could not participate in the voting of the executive committee, the information provided by the Ministry of Security and the position shown would also affect the final choice of the executive committee.
After the three people negotiated, they soon began to implement the plan separately according to the agreed content.The military acted very quickly. Only a day later, a telegram from the scouting fleet shocked the Executive Committee.
The telegram stated that after scouting in Hirado and Nagasaki, the investigators discovered that the Hirado clan was preparing to sell the arms manufacturing technology and shipbuilding materials on hand to the Qing Dynasty. Together with the Hirado clan, he sent troops to invade Korea, and ruled with the Han River as the dividing line between the north and the south.
This "sometime" specifically refers to when. There is no more precise information in the telegram sent back, but the military believes that it should mean that the Qing army obtained military technology, manufactured military equipment on a large scale and installed troops to form combat effectiveness. when.
Yan Chujie expressed great concern about this situation. He reminded the executive committee that if such a situation is true, then at most two or three years later, the Qing army may have a large number of firearms troops, and even some of them will appear suddenly. armed fleet.Although its strength is definitely still inferior to the Haihan army, if the two armies confront each other on the frontal battlefield, the Haihan army's equipment advantage will probably not be as great as it is now, and the number of casualties in the battle will definitely rise in a straight line.
Another day later, the Ministry of Security also made a breakthrough in the intelligence field. According to the reports from the spies sent to Ryukyu by the Ministry of Security, the Hirado Clan sent people to the Ryukyu Kingdom to contact Spanish businessmen. A group of Hispanic weapon craftsmen, this is most likely why the Hirado clan has mastered the technology of casting Western-style artillery.And this news also confirmed the possibility of the Hirado Domain selling military technology to the Qing army. Once the Qing army's arsenal was put into production, it would mean more and more troubles for Haihan.
According to the statistics of intelligence agencies, the number of muskets seized in various places has even exceeded the number that the Spanish colonists in the Philippines could provide.And this discovery just explained why the Hirado Clan was able to send so many muskets to the outside world before. He Xi thus raised suspicions that the Hirado Clan might already have a certain scale of musket troops.
After the latest information was sent back to Sanya, both the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Security adjusted the assessment of the situation in the Hirado domain, changing from focusing on reconnaissance to very dangerous, which meant that both departments believed that it was necessary to use military means to deal with the situation. Intervene to eliminate hidden dangers that may threaten Haihan's safety in advance.
"If we don't deal with the Hirado clan as soon as possible, then we may face the Qing army with powerful lethal weapons on the Liaodong battlefield. Everyone, there will be no negotiation between us and the Qing army, so that kind of situation The appearance of this means that our army has to suffer greater combat casualties, and this risk can actually be avoided!" Yan Chujie said that he was excited, walked to the large map of Northeast Asia on the wall, and raised his arm to point to the location of Kyushu, Japan : "Hirado Fan! As long as we clear this target, we can eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers in advance! Everyone, we don't have much time to wait, we must take action as soon as possible!"
In this process, whether it is the information provided by the military or the news from the Ministry of Security, it is not completely fictitious, and it is basically processed based on existing information plus some reasonable speculation.As for the Executive Committee in Sanya, it is naturally impossible to go beyond the military and the Ministry of Security to verify what happened thousands of miles away, so for the Executive Committee members, the credibility of these news is quite high—at least the military Both Fang and the Ministry of Security claimed that the sources were reliable.
Schneider, who previously insisted on negotiating with the Hirado clan to solve the problem, also changed his attitude due to the situation. After all, for Haihan, the forces with powerful lethal weapons are either allies or enemies, not to mention that this enemy plans to manufacture weapons. The technology passed to Haihan's sworn enemy.There is still the possibility of negotiation on other issues, but if the Hirado clan wants to do this kind of thing, it is asking for a dead end.Even if Schneider wanted to talk, he had to consider the follow-up impact. If these weapons and equipment appeared on the Liaodong battlefield, it would be the evil result of conniving with the Hirado clan, and he could not bear such responsibility.
As a result, the direction of the executive committee took a turn for the worse, and the arguing situation a few days ago quickly turned into a one-sided attitude. Troops were sent to carry out military strikes against the ignorant Hirado clan, and to wipe out the restless Eighteen Zhiyu Party, so he became the executive committee member. There will be a unified opinion at the moment.
This decision was sent back to the north by telegram at the first time. Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun did not know the change of wind direction in Sanya in just a few days, nor did they know the means used by Yan Chujie in the process. They I'm just a little surprised that this time the executive committee made the decision to use military measures so decisively.You must know that the fleet sent out from the Datongjiang base to perform reconnaissance missions is still active in the Kyushu area and has not returned. Even the reconnaissance operations have not been completely completed, and the Executive Committee has made a decision to strike military. are rare in history.
"What happened to the executive committee? Those people have all become militants?" Tom Wang held the telegram with a dazed expression on his face.
"You ask me, how do I know!" Qian Tiandun was also puzzled by this.
