Zhang Qianzhi had thought about assigning the task to his subordinates, but he believed that his special profession required extremely high quality of practitioners. If he did not personally supervise the recruitment work, he would be worried about the quality of these newcomers.
If something goes wrong with the new person you call in, you might have to clean up the mess yourself, which will cause unnecessary trouble.
However, the recruitment that had been prepared for a long time was overwhelmed by other industries, and ultimately ended in vain. The resulting fatigue made him start to re-examine his own approach. Is it really as his father said, there is no need to do everything personally, but the priority goal should be to complete the established tasks?
Zhang Tiangui asked, "Do you know why there are so many visitors in your home recently?"
Zhang Qianzhi said, "My father has worked in the shipbuilding industry for many years and has made great contributions to the country. He has also trained countless disciples and protégés. These visitors also want to use my father's connections and reputation in the industry to do things for them."
Zhang Tiangui nodded and said, "You studied under Lord He and have worked in the Security Department for thirty years. Don't you have a group of trustworthy subordinates? Your prestige in the industry can't drive others to work hard for you?"
"If you don't entrust important tasks to your subordinates, how can you know whether their ability to handle affairs can meet your requirements? Have you ever thought that the person that Lord He wants to test with this task may not only be you."
These soul-searching questions really made Zhang Qianzhi feel like he had suddenly realized something. He had racked his brains to complete the recruitment task in the past few months, and he was really getting stuck in a dead end.
After opening his mind, Zhang Qianzhi drafted a document that night, which contained recruitment-related matters. When he arrived at the government office the next day, he ordered that the document be sent by telegram to branches in various places, and ordered the heads of various places to handle it within a limited time.
The document requires local agencies to recommend five to ten people, with field staff being given priority, to be temporarily transferred to the Hainan headquarters for further study. At the same time, local agencies can immediately start a new round of recruitment to fill the vacancies left by the transfer of personnel.
Instead of relying on recruiting new people for training, it is better to recruit ready-made personnel from all over the country. After these people arrive in Hainan, they can quickly form a combat capability, and the pressure of personnel shortage can be temporarily distributed.
Of course, the Indian Ocean Intelligence Station, which was established not long ago, is definitely not among the targets of this recruitment. After all, the people that the person in charge, Li Dechang, can currently use are almost all affiliated with the security department of the Sing Tao region, and they are simply unable to meet the headquarters' requirements for recruiting personnel.
In the telegram sent from Hainan to Phuket, there was no mention of conscription, but only asked Li Dechang to recruit local personnel as quickly as possible so that the organization could operate normally as soon as possible.
After reading the telegram sent by the Special Operations Division, Li Dechang could only shake his head. The order from the headquarters was simple, but it was not easy to recruit people here.
When Qian Tiandun's troops occupied Phuket last year, there were already few indigenous people here, and the island was almost entirely populated by special operations division troops.
Although some immigrants have moved in over the past year, more than half of them are actually dependents of the special operations division, and only about one-third are immigrants from various places.
The nature of the special warfare division is different from that of ordinary troops. It is almost equivalent to Qian Tiandun's private army. The recruitment of new soldiers will also give priority to military families, so most of their children will follow in their father's footsteps and choose to join the special warfare division as their career direction. These young people often sign up for military service at the age of 17 or 18. As long as their physical conditions meet the standards, they can generally enter the special warfare division smoothly. After serving for three years, the best among them will have the opportunity to study in military academies and become reserve officers.
This form of inheritance from generation to generation is very beneficial to the children of soldiers who are determined to develop in the military, so these people often do not prioritize employment outside the military.
Even the women are mostly employed in the medical, cultural and educational units affiliated with the special operations division. The number of jobs created by the special operations division itself is unimaginable to the outside world, and the treatment is not bad at all.
The recruitment conditions that Li Dechang can offer have no advantages over the Special Operations Division, and it is unlikely to be the first choice for local talents.
He had already discussed this with Qian Tiandun, but Qian Tiandun certainly would not be willing to push his elite troops out. What's more, the main source of intelligence for the Special Operations Division was actually the Military Intelligence Bureau and the reconnaissance troops under the division headquarters, and they did not rely much on the Security Department.
What's more, the purpose of setting up a security department in Phuket, in addition to collecting intelligence in the Indian Ocean region, there is another reason that is known to everyone but not announced, which is to supervise and monitor the special operations division nearby to ensure that the Executive Committee has sources other than the military to learn about the actual situation of this elite force overseas.
Qian Tiandun was already very cooperative by not making things difficult for Li Dechang, and any further requests would be nothing more than wishful thinking.
So although Li Dechang thought of some ways, he did not get any substantial help from the Special Operations Division in the end. Qian Tiandun only expressed that he had no objection to him recruiting veterans - as for the active-duty soldiers of the Special Operations Division, he should not even think about it.
The language and culture of the countries near Phuket are different from those of Hai Han, and the backgrounds of the people are difficult to investigate. Even if they are willing to work for Hai Han, Li Dechang would not dare to accept them.
If they wanted to recruit people boldly, it seemed that they could only choose Xingdao, which was 2,000 miles away. After all, Xingdao was the only large population settlement under Hai Han’s rule within 2,000 miles of Phuket.
What's more, Sing Tao is Li Dechang's hometown and he knows the local conditions inside out, making it much easier to operate than anywhere else.
Although Li Dechang did not want to rely on his family for help in everything, he had no other choice but to turn to his father Li Dagui again and ask him to do it on his behalf in Sing Tao.
The population of Xingdao is mixed, with a limited proportion of Han Chinese, but this is actually a major advantage in recruiting intelligence personnel. If the intelligence station set up by the Ministry of Security in the Indian Ocean region was filled with only Han Chinese faces, they would be conspicuous targets wherever they go and would not be able to carry out field missions at all.
Moreover, the personnel that Li Dechang intends to recruit from Sing Island are mainly the second-generation naturalized citizens. These young people of similar age to him grew up on Sing Island and received Hai Han education since childhood. They have no language and cultural barriers, but their appearance makes it easier for them to integrate into the surrounding areas than the Han people. This can be regarded as an excellent solution.
Li Dagui also strongly supported his son's idea. For him, it was not difficult to find such candidates. His boss Roger would also be happy to send some reliable people to be stationed in Phuket and Ceylon in the name of the Security Department.
