Chapter 997 The Mission of the Security Department
The guests from various countries who were invited to participate in the Haihan Founding Celebration were all rich and noble, and they were accompanied by a large number of armed escorts. The safety of these people during their stay in Sanya was the responsibility of the Haihan security agency during this period. Top priority. To this end, the Ministry of Justice began to mobilize elite public security police from various places to Sanya two months ago and conducted targeted training in advance. In addition, the armed forces stationed in Sanya have also been assigned corresponding tasks. During the celebration period, they will conduct all-weather armed patrols in key areas such as ports, stations, railway lines, and areas near Victory Fort.
The reason for making these superficial remarks in such a big way is, on the one hand, to prevent outsiders with bad intentions from causing trouble during this celebration, and on the other hand, to prevent these guests from causing trouble after they have had enough to eat and drink. With so many dignitaries with bodyguards gathered in Sanya, it is inevitable that some conflicts and frictions will occur during this period. At this time, the only ones who can come forward to maintain order are Haihan's armed forces.
In addition to these obvious methods, Haihan's special security department will naturally not be idle during this period. While Ning Qi and Schneider were discussing the guest arrangements, a team of black-clad policemen had cleared an isolation zone at Pier 4 of Victory Port. If anyone familiar with Haihan saw this scene, they would probably notice the clothes of these policemen. The collar has two more golden collar badges than the ordinary uniform. These two collar badges represent that their identities are different from ordinary security police, but belong to the security team of the Haihan Security Department.
This team is actually the field staff of the Ministry of Security, but they usually travel in casual clothes when performing tasks and rarely wear uniforms. Therefore, not many people can identify their true identities from this costume. Only when performing very few special missions will field personnel be deployed in uniform, and such missions may only occur once in a year or two.
"These guys... why did they suddenly wear their uniforms today? Look at how bad these guys are..." Zheng Gao leaned against the door of the Victory Port Police Station and looked at his "comrades" lined up on the pier not far away. He commented very angrily. Today, people from the Ministry of Security suddenly dispatched and took over the area. Even the people from the police station were excluded. This kind of privilege really made Zheng Gao feel a little sour.
"The Security Department is doing its work, and everyone who is idle is shunned. What's wrong?" Huang Tongyang, the director of the police station, walked to the gate to smoke. Hearing this, he continued: "In January, we solved the Spanish espionage case. The Security Department People are like this, they keep everything mysterious, lest people know what they are doing. ”
"Director, what do you think the people from the Security Department are planning to do by clearing out the pier? Is it because a big shot is coming to the port today? But if a big shot comes, the military will send people over to maintain order, right? How can it be their turn? Guy!" Zheng Gao continued to discuss rather unhappily.
Huang Tongyang glared at Zheng Gao. The biggest problem with his subordinates was that he lacked a handle on his words. If someone with a heart heard this and reported it to the security department, Zheng Gao would definitely have a black mark on his personal resume. history.
"You kid, don't talk nonsense! People from the Ministry of Security are here today, don't you understand?" Huang Tongyang pointed out with hatred: "Looking at this posture, the head of the Ministry of Security must be coming back from Guangzhou. ! ”
"Is that the legendary Chief He?" Although Zheng Gao has not been in the judicial system for as long as Huang Tongyang, he has heard that the Ministry of Security actually has two heads. One is Hao Wanqing who is based in Sanya, and there is another chief named He. I stay in the mainland all year round and rarely go back to Sanya.
"Chief Hao is here too... That's probably it." Huang Tongyang saw a black four-wheeled carriage slowly driving into Pier 4. This kind of carriage with a two-color flag on the front is a special car for the chief, and the golden shield on the door The logo is the symbol of the Haihan Security Department. There is no doubt that the passenger in the car is Hao Wanqing, one of the leaders of the Security Department.
About half an hour later, an expedition-class sailboat appeared on the southern sea. Under the leadership of the pilot ship in the port, it quickly arrived at the pier of Pier 4. The carriage door finally opened, and the person who got out of the carriage confirmed Huang Tongyang's guess. It was Hao Wanqing from the Security Department.
Since the establishment of the Haihan Security Department, a special organization, the internal operating mechanism has been divided into two teams: mainland China and Hainan Island. The boss, He Xi, is in the mainland far more than in Sanya. Usually, the command is carried out remotely, and Hao Wanqing is responsible for the specific implementation here. The reason for adopting this unique operating mechanism is mainly because the Executive Committee attaches far greater importance to Daming than elsewhere, allowing the Ministry of Security to deploy its main forces to the southeastern coastal areas of Daming, dominated by Fuguang.
Among Haihan's functional departments, the Security Department is not the only one that adopts the dual-minister system. For example, the Shipping Department is also jointly run by Yue Zhiyun and Sun Changmi. But these two people from the Shipping Department
According to common sense, this operating mechanism obviously has many drawbacks, not only lowering work efficiency, but may even cause divisions within the security department. However, the amazing thing is that this special department can actually operate continuously for so many years. It has been commended by the Executive Committee almost every year and is one of the few units to receive this honor. Such a result can only be achieved by the two ministers’ long-term cooperation.
He Xi is not a person who likes to be public, and he spends little time in Sanya, so not many locals recognize him. After getting off the boat, he did not stay at the dock for a long time. After a few brief greetings with Hao Wanqing, who came to greet him, he quickly boarded the carriage.
"I informed you when I would come back, and you still created such a big battle for me!" He Xi said in a dumbfounded voice after getting in the car: "Soon, half of the people in Victory Port knew that I was back. ”
Hao Wanqing smiled and said: "You are a rare guest who only comes back once in a year or two, and you don't let others come to pick you up, so we, the security department, have to pick you up ourselves. You have to know that there are many new people who have come in in the past two years that we haven't seen at all. Let’s take this opportunity to let them know the boss of the department.”
He Xi sighed: "Why not! I also changed a lot of people under me last year. I sent Gong Qiqi to Zhejiang and assigned more than half of the elite team in Guangzhou to him. Now there are also some who are following me. A lot of newcomers.”
Speaking of this topic, Hao Wanqing also remembered something: "I have also read the files of the people around you. Why do you seem to have a soft spot for the number 'seventeen'? Gong Shiqi was gone and another one was recruited." Xu Shiqi came in.”
He Xi spread his hands and said: "It's a pure coincidence! Of course, this name did attract my attention when I was choosing the person, but later I saw that the young man was quite smart, so I stayed." Gong Shiqi is undoubtedly He Xi The most capable officer under his command, most of the special service tasks carried out by the Security Department in Guangdong and Guangxi were completed by Gong Shiqi. He has made a lot of contributions in the past few years. Just because of the special nature of the security department, he will not have the opportunity to receive public awards for his achievements, but his internal promotion opportunities will not be delayed. Last year, Haihan sent troops to attack Zhoushan, and Gong Shiqi had already gone north with the army and was captured. Sent to Zhejiang and responsible for local intelligence work. As the special service team under He Xi allocated some manpower to Gong Shiqi, they had to recruit a lot of newcomers. Xu Shiqi mentioned by Hao Wanqing was one of them.
After finishing the gossip, He Xi returned to the main business: "I was supposed to come back last week, but something delayed me in Guangzhou. How are the preparations going now?"
Hao Wanqing said: "Currently, a joint command has been established with the Police Department and the Army. However, our manpower is limited, so most of the field affairs are handled by those two parties. Now it is left to Lin Nan and Zhang Qianzhi to handle them respectively."
"Then what unresolved problems are there now?" He Xi asked.
"The biggest problem... is probably to implement effective monitoring of the foreigners pouring into Sanya this time." Hao Wanqing sighed: "This time at least five to six thousand foreigners came for the ceremony. Of course these people cannot They are all here to watch the fun, and some people with ulterior motives will inevitably sneak in. With our current manpower, it is difficult to monitor the overall situation. ”
Haihan's previous monitoring and identification of foreigners was mainly implemented through three steps: registration with the port department, inspection by the public security department, and screening of information by the intelligence department for identification. New immigrants arriving in Hong Kong have to go through several days of review procedures before they can receive further resettlement, which is the most stringent category. All businessmen, sailors, workers, and scholars arriving at the port must go through formalities before landing. When the number is not large, it is not too difficult to monitor. However, during this celebration, there was a large number of immigrants. With the influx of people, it will be difficult for relevant departments to maintain effective monitoring.
The Ministry of Security also tried its best to transfer capable personnel from various places back to Sanya in advance to cooperate with the military and police for control, striving to maintain local security and intelligence security in Sanya during the celebration.
He Xi seems relatively optimistic about this: "In fact, foreigners are easier to monitor. The appearance characteristics of Nanyang and Westerners are more obvious. The local people are mainly Han Chinese. These outsiders are very conspicuous wherever they go. We have to Pay more attention to those Chinese. I remember the Spanish spy case that was solved in January. The criminal was a Chinese, right?”
"That's right." Hao Wanqing nodded and said: "In that case, except for an Arab businessman who ran errands and delivered letters, several Spanish spies lurking in the local area were all Chinese. Among the people who arrived in Hong Kong this time, most of them were Chinese or mixed-race. There are also a lot of Chinese people. According to our current statistics, there are at least three to five hundred people. It is difficult to distinguish the true identity of these people based on their appearance and language. Moreover, if they have a special purpose, it must be. We will be prepared in these aspects, so we still implement a graded martial law system in Sanya.”
The so-called graded martial law means that Sanya is divided into several areas that require different permissions to enter, and foreigners are authorized to level up to limit their scope of activities while in Hong Kong. For example, on the road leading to Tiandu, or near Victory Fort, identity must be verified before being allowed to pass. Although this method is quite troublesome to implement, in the current security environment, the Ministry of Security cannot come up with any better method for the time being. Fortunately, a similar management model was tried during the anniversary celebrations in previous years. Now we only need to make slight adjustments to expand the scale of monitoring, and there is no need to reinvent the wheel.
Speaking of the issue of identifying outsiders, Hao Wanqing also asked He Xi: "Has the surveillance network in Guangdong been deployed?"
He Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Speaking of which, I came back a week late this time just because of this."
The most difficult objects to monitor are undoubtedly the people from Ming Dynasty. In recent years, in addition to businessmen and immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, there are also many people with ulterior motives who have tried to sneak into Sanya by various means. Among them are people with official backgrounds such as Jin Yiwei, Dongchang fanzi, military spies, yamen agents, etc., as well as commercial spies from the private sector, thieves and thieves who want to come to Sanya to make money, and try to hide their whereabouts and escape. The important criminal of the imperial court. Once these people enter Sanya and lurk, it will be quite difficult for the relevant departments to dig them out.
It is difficult for these people from the private sector to achieve effective monitoring at the source, but it is relatively easy to handle it if they are fed by the public. He Xi has been operating in Guangzhou for many years, and all aspects of personal connections and information networks are operating very smoothly. It can be said that any local The Yamen wanted to send someone to Sanya. He Xi could basically get the news before the relevant personnel departed from Guangzhou, and then took advantage of Haihan's advantage in information transmission methods to control it before it arrived at Hainan Island. At the same time as it entered the port He was already caught.
Li Qingyang, who once served in the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty in the Security Department, tried to lurk in Sanya, but was caught in this way. Later, he was subdued by Haihan and transferred to the Security Department. In the past few years, he has been on the counter-espionage front. Shang Ping also made a lot of contributions.
Before He Xi returned from his trip south this time, he secretly deployed controls in Guangzhou and Zhaoqing in advance to monitor the relevant local yamen. Of course, this kind of surveillance does not rely on manpower to keep an eye on the outside of the yamen, but through various intelligence channels to learn whether these yamen have plans to send people to Sanya in the near future. Although there are people in charge in various yamen who have accepted Haihan's money, not everyone is sitting on Haihan's side. If the guarantee is not complete, some people want to come up with some tricks. The security department does not dare to be careless about this.
This time, the Dongchang Yamen in Zhaoqing happened to have a new chief officer. The previous chief officer was infected with cold and could not be cured for several months. He died at the beginning of the year. The replacement official did not arrive in Zhaoqing until mid-March. . In order to make sure that the new eunuch would not set things off blindly when he took office, He Xi had to postpone his return to Sanya and find someone to do some activities to try to use money to deal with the new eunuch.
