When Tao Hongfang heard it, he felt that Wan Yan's words made sense.This investigative supervisory work has somewhat exceeded the scope of the Ministry of Commerce, and it seems more appropriate to classify it as a function of the security intelligence department.
Thinking of this, Tao Hong took the initiative to ask: "Has Director Wan contacted the Ministry of Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau to see if they can investigate clues on their behalf?"
Wan Yan smiled and said, "My father is a retired official from the Ministry of Security. Naturally, this method has been thought of for a long time, but this kind of thing seems simple, but it is a lot of trouble to do it."
Haihan's security intelligence department has a very close relationship with the Ministry of Commerce itself. Most of the intelligence personnel sent to Ming Dynasty in the early years were disguised as businessmen.For example, Wan Yan's father, Wan Fa, when he was lurking in Hangzhou, his public identity was a storekeeper.As a businessman, you have more opportunities to get in touch with all kinds of information, so this routine has always been used by these special departments.
However, the intelligence department also faces the problem of limited manpower, and its monitoring scope is often limited to Haihan's actual control area.Even if they intend to supervise cross-regional business activities, the intelligence agencies are also powerless when it comes to the whereabouts of materials and funds after leaving Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Moreover, it is not as convenient for the intelligence department to place personnel in various commercial organizations at present. The intelligence personnel assigned to the organization are of low rank and cannot get access to valuable information. normal operation of these commercial establishments.
Tao Hongfang was a little puzzled when he heard this: "The Ministry of Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau are both privileged departments. Do they still need to act according to the face of commercial organizations?"
Wan Yan smiled and said: "Although the power is great, it doesn't mean you can check whatever you want. Some transactions, even the Ministry of Security, are not easy to intervene."
"What's the explanation?" Tao Hongfang asked.
Wan Yan hesitated for a moment before explaining in a low voice: "As I said before, some local businessmen used to work for Daming's imperial relatives... Similar situations actually exist in our country."
Tao Hongfang suddenly realized why Wan Yan was somewhat taboo about this matter.The relatives of the emperor of Haihan Kingdom, aren't they talking about this special group including Tao Hongfang himself?
Tao Hongfang, as a second-generation wearer, and his father was a high-ranking official who had been in charge of Haihan for many years, naturally had a certain understanding of this special group he belonged to.He knew that although the father's generation was basically Han Chinese, they were not from the Ming Dynasty. It has only been more than 20 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
But in the past 20 years, the geographical area ruled by Haihan has expanded hundreds of times, and the power and wealth held by the ruler have also been continuously improved. .To the outside world, these families are no different from the relatives of the emperor. The various industries and businesses under their names are of course taboos that ordinary people cannot touch.
Tao Hongfang said: "Listening to what Director Wan said, was there a misunderstanding in this regard before?"
Wan Yan nodded and said: "I heard that there was a case before, and the Military Intelligence Bureau investigated the case all the way to Sanya, only to find out that the owner of the cargo was a certain important figure from Fort Victory... As a result, the intelligence officer in charge of the case resigned and was transferred overseas. Somewhere."
To put it nicely, this is called transfer, but to put it bluntly, it means being dispatched to the frontier, and it is very likely that his official career will be affected and terminated.
Tao Hongfang has been working in the Ministry of Commerce for so long, so he has actually heard a little about such gray incidents.Many people in Haihan will use private trade channels to buy and sell some commodities that are in short supply or even banned from trading, so as to obtain huge economic benefits.Of course, these business activities are often not personally attended by dignitaries, but are operated by some private businessmen on their behalf, and it is inevitable that intelligence agencies will overlook this.
Tao Hongfang remembered that before he left Sanya, his father had given him a list, saying that if he encountered any inconvenient problems in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he could go to these people for help, but the identities of these people were not public. official.Thinking about it now, the people on this list are probably the agents who work for their family here.
How many businesses in the market are directly or indirectly in the hands of rulers like Haihan, I am afraid no one can say clearly.However, if the Ministry of Commerce and intelligence agencies want to implement comprehensive supervision of cross-regional business activities, and even initiate investigations into some suspicious business transactions, it is easy to set foot in the restricted area and offend some powerful figures.The officials in charge of these tasks are not fools. Since they have already learned from the past that they have done more and made more mistakes, it is of course better to do less than to do more.
Tao Hongfang smiled wryly: "That really embarrasses the intelligence department!"
Wan Yan said: "Actually, offending the big shots above is still the second priority. The main reason is that some things are so confidential that people in the intelligence department don't know the inside story. The regulatory measures may become a stumbling block for us."
Wan Yan then gave Tao Hongfang an example.A few years ago, a batch of goods were seized by the authorities when passing through Dinghai Port in Zhoushan, and a large number of weapons and ammunition produced by Haihan were found in the interlayer of the packing box.At that time, the Ministry of Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau of the East China Sea Region were on the verge of a major enemy, and immediately investigated this as a major case, and reported the news to the Executive Committee layer by layer.
In the end, the executive committee ordered the investigation to stop, because this batch of arms was specially approved by the executive committee to be sold to a certain place in the inland, as a condition for Haihan to buy a certain soldier.Because the level of secrecy was too high, the local intelligence personnel did not grasp the relevant information in advance, so a big oolong was created, and this plan to instigate the Ming army leader came to an abrupt end.
Although no one was punished for this, it was a real blow to the security department who had done a lot of investigation work in the early stage and thought they had caught a big fish.
"Because the level of authority is not enough, we officials overseas will not be notified at all of the secret operations decided by the Victory Fort. There was a situation where the Dragon King Temple was flooded by the flood.”
Speaking of this, Wan Yan couldn't help but stop and sighed: "The people below have too many scruples in handling affairs, so they are inevitably timid, and it is difficult to achieve the expected results in related supervision work."
Tao Hongfang could only remain silent about this. He could understand Wan Yan's embarrassment, but he couldn't think of any effective solution.He is just a civilian official of the Ministry of Commerce. He has almost no relevant operational experience in matters that require cross-departmental communication and even reporting to the executive committee. He does not know where to start to solve the problem.
