1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1050 Professionals
How to systematically collect and sort out information, and how to filter out the useful parts according to one's own needs, is one of the skills that Gong Shiqi has learned during the past few years with He Xi.Although Gong Shiqi has not read many books himself, there are quite a few scholars under his command. At least [-]% of the staff of the security department in the three yards can read and write, and some of them are even naturalized in Haihan. In the past, there was a famous scholar in Ming Dynasty.Although these literati couldn't carry their shoulders or hands, they could play no less role in the Ministry of Security than the field team commanded by Gong Shiqi himself.

The field team is only a means of force used by the Ministry of Security to solve problems under special circumstances, but it is many people who actually monitor and control Haihan inside and outside, build a huge database, and screen out valuable intelligence from a lot of information. Unsung civil servants.

Gong Shiqi is from the south, and Takahashi Minami is from Japan. Before that, they were not familiar with Hangzhou, they just did research on the map.And to get familiar with a strange place in a short time, the most efficient way is to find a local guide party.The leading party that was spent money from outside is obviously not as reliable as the people in his own camp. Gong Shiqi asked to compile the list of people from the Hangzhou government in the official institutions currently stationed in Zhoushan. This is also the purpose.Although this matter can be done by other departments, such as the military, it seems that it can be done, but the efficiency and secrecy cannot be compared with the Ministry of Security.

Gong Shiqi continued: "These are just the preliminary information. Next, I will arrange for someone to contact them one-on-one to understand their situation before they left Hangzhou. Some of them may have many relatives and friends in Hangzhou. We must make full use of the social relations that can be used to minimize our disadvantages in away games."

Gao Qiaonan said: "Director Gong is thoughtful enough, he is worthy of being an expert. May I ask, what kind of help can I provide in the operation?"

Gong Shiqidao: "I've heard that the Special Operations Battalion also has a lot of research on urban street warfare. When I go to Hangzhou, most of the places where I fight are in the city. If I can get the help of Battalion Commander Gaoqiao, the chances of success will increase a lot. .”

Gao Qiaonan said: "Then Director Gong has any requirements for the personnel involved in the operation. You might as well just say it. After I go back, I will choose the right personnel and start preparing for the battle."

"Battalion Commander Gaoqiao is very active." Gong Shiqi said, "Then let me briefly talk about a few requirements. First, it is best to be from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is not limited to Hangzhou. If you can speak the local dialect, you can also speak other provinces. In this way, it is not easy to reveal flaws in accent and living habits. Second, those who have hidden experience in disguise are preferred. We may need to dress up in various professions during operations. Good at close combat, giving priority to cold weapons. As for other combat skill requirements, Battalion Commander Takahashi should be more familiar than me."

"How many people?" Takahashi Minami asked.

"The more the better!" Gong Shiqi explained: "This time we have multiple targets to attack, and the interval between actions should not be too long, otherwise, once the news spreads, other targets will be alerted. Therefore, there must be at least three people involved in the operation." Considering substitutes and support, at least three other teams must be prepared."

"That's the sixth team..." Gao Qiaonan pondered: "Even if I send people here, the manpower of your field team will still not be enough to allocate?"

"You're right." Gong Shiqi admitted Gao Qiaonan's conjecture unabashedly: "In fact, my field service team has less than 20 people, which is also the main reason why Minister Hao proposed joint operations with your military. One of the reasons. In addition, the field teams in Guangdong and Fujian provinces have also transferred personnel and are currently on their way to Zhoushan. If possible, I hope you will prepare at least 30 people. An application will be made to Commander Wang separately."

"Then with so many people, how do you plan to enter Hangzhou City to lurk?" Gao Qiaonan continued to ask.

"It's not difficult. We currently operate three commercial firms, a bookstore, a bank, and an inn in Hangzhou, which are enough to arrange for dozens of people to settle in various identities after entering Hangzhou." Gong Shiqi was full of confidence. The ground answered.

"We actually have so many industries in Hangzhou? How come there is a bank? When did Haihan Bank open a branch in Hangzhou?" Gao Qiaonan asked in amazement.

"It's not Haihan Bank, it's a local bank acquired by Haihan Bank last year. People from the Ministry of Commerce called this a backdoor listing. I don't really understand what it means... the same goes for other institutions, and they didn't use Haihan's signboard. , the locals don’t know that these are Haihan’s businesses.” Gong Shiqi explained: “There are many people in Hangzhou who are hostile to us, you know, this is also out of self-protection.”

"Does the Ministry of Commerce know that we want to borrow these institutions?" Gao Qiaonan smiled and said, "If Minister Shi knows that someone dares to touch the industry of the Ministry of Commerce, Minister Hao may not be able to protect you."

Gong Shiqi said with an embarrassed smile: "Of course, this must be reported to the Ministry of Commerce first, but the order for this operation was jointly issued by the Executive Committee, the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of National Defense, and Minister Shi will not embarrass us. These servants who work."

Schneider is the God of Wealth in charge of financial power within Haihan. The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance are under the command of him, and the budgets and final accounts of all departments must pass the audit under his hands, so even the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Security This kind of strong department will also sell Schneider's face, and try to make daily operations as convenient as possible.As for the possible use of agencies and personnel under the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance during the operation, it must be reported to the competent department first, otherwise Schneider will not be able to deal with any losses caused.

Takahashi Minami nodded, and brought the topic back to the business: "Speaking of which, how do you plan to solve these goals?"

Gong Shiqi replied: "If you only want the result, it's not too difficult. We have many weapons that can kill with one blow. But the chief also said that he doesn't want to destroy the stability of Zhejiang, and should avoid conflicts with Daming as much as possible." Conflict, this is a bit more difficult. If the time limit is longer, we can also find a way to bribe the people around the target, slowly poison his daily diet, or set up a scheme to create other accidents. But this time there is only one There is not much time left for us to plan and implement it within a month's time limit. If Battalion Commander Gaoqiao has any insights, you might as well share them and discuss them together."

Takahashi Minami waved his hand and said, "I'm an outsider in this business, and your security department is a professional, so I don't want to fight around the door. Besides, the chief just said that this operation will be led by your security department, so I'll listen to you." Command is."

Gong Shiqi said: "This is too polite... Otherwise, I will arrange a field trip to Hangzhou as soon as possible, and Battalion Commander Gaoqiao will also go there together. After we go to the local area to see the situation, we will make a decision." What are you going to do?"

Gao Qiaonan made sense when he thought about it. No matter how good the plan was on Zhoushan Island, it was only a theory on paper after all.The two discussed some details about the candidates, and then Gao Qiaonan took his leave and left.

When Gao Qiaonan returned to the camp, he took out the list of Zhejiang soldiers provided by Gong Shiqi, and asked someone to notify these people to report to the camp headquarters immediately.Although only two people in the special warfare battalion were from Hangzhou, there were as many as a dozen officers and soldiers from Zhejiang in the entire special warfare battalion.If judged by Gong Shiqi's personnel requirements, then Gao Qiaonan believed that his subordinates from Zhejiang would be qualified candidates.However, Gong Shiqi asked the military to prepare at least 30 people as candidates, and the special operations battalion alone still couldn't gather enough people.Gao Qiaonan looked at the list, and thought that he had to borrow talents from other troops.

The information given by Gong Shiqi on the officers and soldiers from Zhejiang Province is 60 people. Except for a small number serving in the special warfare battalion, the others are in the navy led by Shi Diwen. The new faces who came to Zhoushan with Wang Tom's fleet must be enough to meet Gong Shiqi's requirements.

That night, Gao Qiaonan sent someone to invite Gong Shiqi to come to the Special Operations Battalion to review the candidates for the military.In order to ensure that their identities will not be exposed after going to Hangzhou, Gong Shiqi has to arrange new identities for these candidates one by one, so everyone has to figure out their experience before joining the army, otherwise they will give a soldier who was born in a peasant family a new identity. As a banker's guy, if he is engaged in a business he has never been in contact with, it is very likely that things will go wrong.

Of course, in the process of inquiring about experience, one should also check the mental outlook of the person involved to see if it is suitable for this latent mission.Gong Shiqi drew a symbol behind their names after asking about their personal situation. Gao Qiaonan asked the reason, and Gong Shiqi explained: "Ordinary people don't have such a heavy murderous aura on their bodies. Those few people just now, didn’t you notice that they looked at people as if they were looking at prey? Such sharpness is too revealing, and it is easy to be seen through by pretending to be other identities.”

Gao Qiaonan said: "But veterans in the army will inevitably have a killing spirit, which is difficult to hide."

Gong Shiqi shook his head and said: "This kind of assassination, the participants should not be too eye-catching. The more ordinary faces the better, it is best for people to turn their heads and forget their appearance after seeing them. There is no difference between them and others. If I would have noticed a certain characteristic in him at the first sight, no matter how powerful this kind of person is, he would not be suitable to participate in this operation. Battalion Commander Takahashi, please don’t forget that our target this time is also One of them is an officer of the Jinyiwei, this yamen is not full of wine and food, there are also many powerful people, you need to cheer up and deal with it.”

"Then these people can't participate in this operation? Their loyalty and fighting skills are beyond doubt!" Gao Qiaonan defended his subordinates: "These are the best fighters under my command !"

"Commander Gaoqiao, don't get excited, I didn't say they can't take part in the action!" Gong Shiqi pointed to the list in front of him and said, "I just want to make another arrangement for it. Let them pretend to be common people."

"So that's it, I'm being rude, I've been taught!" Gao Qiaonan had no objection to Gong Shiqi's explanation, but he immediately thought of another question: "In a situation like this, how do we hide our identity and enter Can Hangzhou not attract the attention of others?"

Takahashi Minami has served in the army for six years. He has participated in countless battles, and the lives of enemies harvested by himself may only be in the triple digits. When it comes to the murderous spirit of the soldiers and the majesty of the superiors, Takahashi today Nandu is like a sharp dagger, it is difficult for people to ignore it.

Hearing that he was asking seriously, Gong Shiqi put down the writing brush in his hand, turned sideways and responded, "Commander Gaoqiao, with all due respect, based on your past experience, environment and current state, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you. Dress yourself up as an ordinary person with no characteristics. As long as you are not blind, it is easy to spot you as an outlier among a group of ordinary people."

Gao Qiaonan didn't expect Gong Shiqi to reply him like this, so he was taken aback for a moment before responding: "Then what do you mean, I can't participate in this operation?"

"If you can't participate, why did our Security Department specially invite you here?" Gong Shiqi responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already thought about your cover-up."

"I would like to hear more about it, and ask Director Gong to enlighten me!" Gao Qiaonan didn't want Gong Shiqi to continue to play tricks, so he continued to urge him.

Gong Shiqi knew that if he didn't say anything, Gao Qiaonan would be stuck in this place, so he had no choice but to tell him his plan: "Commander Gaoqiao, a person with a deep professional brand like you, Pretending to be any other profession is inappropriate, I thought about it, and I think it’s best for you to act like yourself, as long as you act in your true colors, there will be no flaws.”

"Play me?" Takahashi Nan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "You mean to let me play an officer?"

Gong Shiqi nodded and said, "A Ming military officer who went from Ningbo to Hangzhou on business, ordinary people dare not question your identity, and it is not easy for others to see through your identity. Those few of your men who are particularly murderous can just pretend to be your relatives." Soldiers."

Gao Qiaonan said: "Then what if we meet the local Ming army people face to face?"

Gong Shiqidao: "I will prepare things like identity badges, official documents, and personal weapons in advance. There are four guards in Ningbo, Guanhai, Changguo, and Dinghai, and there are ten thousand households below. Do you think people in Hangzhou will know the Qianhu of each office here? Moreover, the establishment of Qianhu Office under Dinghaiwei has become an empty brand. In recent years, people who have donated money to officials are in office. Where is Hangzhou? Clear up the mess."
