Chapter 30 The Ministry of Military Affairs and the General Intelligence Agency

"Now we have preliminarily settled the matter of the Taiwan Tiandi Society, and now we will discuss the matter of the management of the internal affairs of our military. After observing during this period of time, I found that there is some confusion within our army, especially in the logistics and equipment, various personnel appointments, and various military and political affairs, and there is no general management organization. Of course, this is also because of the small number of people, so I can supervise it. Now that there are more and more people, then we should set up a general management organization at this time, and then manage logistics, equipment, army personnel, propaganda and education, military service, and so on all kinds of internal affairs of the army. And with this body, then there can be someone in charge of these affairs, and other officers in charge of the war! Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui's words immediately made everyone nod silently. Because now there is some confusion in logistics, equipment, personnel, education, and so on within the army, because there is no one in charge of these things. As for the personnel issue of the army, Wang Guorui was originally very strict, and any officer at or above the platoon level was personally signed by Wang Guorui. If the army had been small in the past, it might have been manageable. And now that the army is outnumbered, I'm afraid it won't be able to manage it.

In fact, Wang Guorui didn't want to find someone else to help manage it, but there were too few people Wang Guorui could trust. First of all, Hu Wei did not have personnel rights, he was only responsible for military affairs, except for a small number of officers he recommended, no one else had personnel rights. Wang Guorui did not hand over to him the right to appoint and dismiss officers, because this Hu Wei is now the de facto chief of the general staff, and although the general staff has not been established in name, Hu Wei is already the de facto person in charge of military affairs. If the personnel power is handed over to him again, then I am afraid that Wang Guorui will wait to be hollowed out.

As for the others, most of them were also recommended by Hu Wei, and Wang Guorui did not dare to appoint those officers as the leaders of this department in charge of military and political affairs. Otherwise, if he and Hu Wei collude with each other, it will also be very dangerous. Therefore, people from the same background are not suitable for controlling both the staff and military and political departments at the same time. The two departments of staff and military and political departments are two cores, just like the general staff and general political departments in later generations, generally cannot be held by people of the same faction, otherwise I am afraid that the army will be completely controlled by them.

The main reason why Wang Guorui didn't hand it over before was that he didn't trust someone who had nothing to do with Hu Wei. But now that he has a group of people who don't belong to Hu Wei and them, he can preliminarily hand them over. This can give them and Hu Wei some balance between each other, so that they don't have to wear a pair of pants.

"Wang Zhixian, who is in charge of the head of this military and political department?" Someone asked.

Everyone is very hot, because this is one of the real power departments in the army, and he has become the governor of this military and political department, that is, he has become one of the important figures of this anti-Japanese volunteer army, and the real power is no less than Hu Wei. So this one is almost another giant, so everyone wants to keep an eye on this position.

"Now let's not talk about that, let's talk about something else. In addition to the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs, there is another thing, and that is that our intelligence forces are very weak. Although we have a lot of elite soldiers and very advanced weapons, the department does not have a complete intelligence network. When the enemy comes, then we are deaf and blind, then we have advanced weapons, elite soldiers, and we can't hit the enemy, then we are equal to nothing. Therefore, it is imperative to have a general intelligence bureau in charge of intelligence in the city now. ”

"As far as I know, the Japanese have been staring at us in Taiwan for not a day or two, but they have a lot of eyeliner in Taiwan, and they are definitely not ordinary people. Therefore, we must also have the corresponding intelligence, otherwise we will suffer very much in the future. It is certain that we have been preparing for Taiwan for decades, and we should not think that we have the right place and the right people, and we don't even have the right time. Since the Japanese occupied the Penghu Islands, we no longer have the geographical advantage. And the people, the intelligence agents they have deployed for decades, the people and the aspects have also been greatly weakened. If you want to reverse this disadvantage, you must also have an intelligence organization! ”

Wang Guorui knows better than anyone those characteristics of the Japanese. Whenever the Japanese set their sights on a place, they would prepare decades in advance and plant a lot of intelligence officers in that place. There are even some who send them to that place from a young age, and then let them grow up with the people there. And when they grow up, no one will treat them as outsiders, but as villagers. This kind of big-picture view of cloth decades in advance for the purpose is something that Chinese should learn. And these "local" intelligence agents have been lurking for more than ten years or even decades, and no one can imagine that they are foreigners, or even foreign intelligence officers, and this is the terrible thing in this.

And if you don't have an intelligence organization, I'm afraid it will also be a great loss. Therefore, this kind of intelligence agency should be established sooner rather than later, and it must be established as much as possible, otherwise it will suffer a big loss at that time. Even though it has been less than two months since the Japanese landed in Taiwan, it is still necessary to do everything possible to establish the Japanese in Taiwan. What's more, Wang Guorui also has a natural intelligence network, which can directly build an organization from this intelligence network.

"But Wang Zhixian, if we want to temporarily establish an intelligence network now, it's too late!" Hu Wei said.

Wang Guorui immediately said, "Have you forgotten? We didn't just raid that Heaven and Earth Society's lair, we could co-opt the Heaven and Earth Society's intelligence network and let them work for us. The Taiwan Tiandi Society is one of the important branches of the Tiandihui, they have lived in Taiwan for many years, and even they have many peripheral organizations to serve them for every grass and tree in Taiwan, so this is also a natural intelligence network. ”

Only then did everyone understand that their side had adopted the Heaven and Earth Society, so that they could work for themselves. However, some people frowned, because the Heaven and Earth Society was an organization that the Manchus wanted to attack, and their own side actually incorporated them, and they did it without authorization, isn't it too much to ignore the Manchus? After all, they were all Manchu courtiers, and they still couldn't accept that they wanted to cooperate with the Manchu enemies. After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been established for many years, and their rule over the country is very solid. If it weren't for the invasion of the Westerners, then they might really be able to wait until the next cycle of chaos and rule before they perished.

"May I ask Wang Zhixian, who is the chief of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the chief of the General Intelligence Bureau?" Chen Liyan, the commander of the artillery regiment, asked.

Wang Guorui said outside the door: "Miss Zheng Hong, and Liu Feng, come in!" ”

"I've seen you!" Zheng Hong took the initiative to salute and said.

"This Miss Zheng Hong is the chief helmsman of the Taiwan Heaven and Earth Society, but now she has given up the Heaven and Earth Society and merged into our Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. And Miss Zheng is a descendant of Zheng Chenggong, the surname of the country, and she can be regarded as a tiger girl. Miss Zheng has a family background and is very proficient in various government affairs, so I plan to let him take the position of director of the military and political department. ”

"As for this Mr. Liu Feng, he was originally responsible for developing newcomers in the Tiandihui, and he was very clear about the management of the various peripheral personnel of the Tiandihui in Taiwan, so he was temporarily appointed as the director of the General Intelligence Administration."

"There are more than 10 subordinate departments under the Ministry of Military Affairs, such as the General Office, the Personnel Department, the Propaganda Department, the Education Department, the Military Affairs Department, the Military Justice Office, the Mass Work Mobilization Office, the Prisoner Education Office, the Foreign Liaison Office, the Infantry Department, the Artillery Department, the Technical Arms Office, the Barracks Office, the Finance Department, the Equipment Support Office, and the Science and Technology Department.

Everyone heard that there are more than 10 subordinate departments of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which simply include everything within the army, and this is simply a powerful department. And this department is actually equivalent to the collection of the three major departments of the General Political Department and the General Assembly of the General Assembly of the later generations, is the power not big enough? Therefore, everyone thinks that the status of this director of the Military Affairs Department is no less than that of Hu Wei, who is responsible for commanding the war.

And everyone doesn't know why Wang Guorui handed over this powerful military and political department to the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, and even a woman who the Heaven and Earth Society just met, this is not in accordance with the rules! And this department belongs to the army, and it is obviously inappropriate for a woman to manage this. And this is secondary, but why does Wang Guorui trust this Zheng Hong, you must know that this Zheng Hong is the original helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, aren't you afraid that this Zheng Hong will seize the right and give Wang Guorui a cold shot when the time comes?

They don't know that Wang Guorui trusts this Zheng Hong for a reason, but as for the reason, ordinary people don't know.

"Next, the General Intelligence Agency is responsible for intelligence matters. We can set up intelligence stations according to the districts, and set up some corresponding departments internally, so that they can manage their business departments. ”

And in the end, Wang Guorui took the initiative to ask: "Who still has an opinion?" ”

"Wang Zhixian, I have an opinion!" Someone immediately shouted.

Wang Guorui squinted, he knew that there would always be a group of cow ghosts, snakes, and gods coming out, and now he was just taking advantage of the time when they came out, and he would beat a group of them fiercely. At present, there are still some unstable factors within Wang Guorui's anti-Japanese volunteers, and of course we must find a way to eliminate them. If it is not eliminated, who knows when it will erupt. There is also a reason why the supreme leader of later generations must clean the interior from time to time, after all, if it is not cleaned, there will be many problems inside.
