Chapter 3430
When Li Dechang received the notice from Zhang Qianzhi, he was working on his desk in the office.
The project he is currently responsible for drawing drawings is a new type of antenna designed specifically for radio stations used by foreign intelligence stations to enhance the radio's signal transmission capabilities.
In order to formulate the design plan of this thing, the technical department has spent nearly a year, and it was not until this month that the final plan was finalized. The drawings that Li Dechang is currently drawing are the production drawings that are to be delivered to the factory.
Designing such a high-tech industrial product is actually far beyond the capabilities of the Technical Department of the Ministry of Safety. Moreover, the Ministry of Industry has jointly developed relatively mature products with the military before, which have long been installed in the Haihan Army and have been verified for long-term use.
The reason why it took so long is that the Ministry of Safety was applying to the Ministry of Industry for relevant design plans.
However, the matter involved the competition between the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Ministry of Security in the field of intelligence. The military did not want to hand over the good things it developed to the Ministry of Security for use easily. It pushed back and forth many times. In the end, it was the Executive Committee that came forward to coordinate the matter. thing.
The drawings drawn by Li Dechang did not make any major changes to the original plan, but since the Security Department had spent so much effort to obtain something, it was natural that they had to find ways to put their own stamp on it.
Li Dechang didn't know much about radio. What he had learned in the past was more mechanical-related. But the folding structure of this whip-type antenna was an area he was familiar with, and the exquisite design also amazed him.
When he was ten years old, his family sent him to Sanya, where he attended the aristocratic Sanya No. 1 Middle School. Later, because he showed a strong interest in machinery, he was recommended to Haihan Institute of Technology to major in mechanical design and manufacturing.
Logically speaking, based on his major, he should go to a factory or design institute under the Ministry of Industry after graduation. However, his father, Li Dagui, is the head of the branch of the Ministry of Security in the Xingdao region. There may be a way for him to inherit his father's business. thought, so he was assigned to the security department.
It happened that the Technical Department of the Ministry of Security also needed professionals like Li Dechang, so he, a person who studied industrial technology, accidentally joined the intelligence agency as an errand.
As he grew older and more experienced, Li Dechang actually gradually understood why he was sent to Sanya and why he joined the security department with mismatched majors.
He knew that as long as his father Li Dagui was still in office, he would have little chance of returning to Star Island to reunite with his family. When his father retires, he will probably have another choice in life.
However, after staying in Sanya for many years, Li Dechang gradually adapted to the life here, and his longing for Xingdao gradually faded away. And he knew that the role he had studied in the major he had studied after returning to Star Island might not be as useful as staying in a place like the Technical Department of the Security Department.
Li Dechang believes that when the time comes, he should choose to stay in Sanya and continue to engage in industry-related work.
When he received the notice, Li Dechang did not think that this would be an early turning point in his life. He thought that Zhang Qianzhi was going to ask about the progress of the project he was responsible for. Therefore, he specially brought a pile of information to facilitate explanation when Zhang Qianzhi asked for relevant information.
However, as soon as Zhang Qianzhi spoke after the meeting, Li Dechang was stunned on the spot and did not recover for a long time.
"Li Dechang, let me ask you, if you were transferred back to the south to serve, would you be willing?" Seeing Li Dechang standing silently, Zhang Qianzhi thought he didn't hear clearly, so he could only repeat the question again.
Li Dechang then asked: "South? Are you talking about Annan or Champa?"
"It's further south." Zhang Qianzhi explained: "The ministry needs to set up a new agency at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca. We hope that there will be people who are familiar with the local environment to take charge of this new project. To be honest, there are not many candidates who meet this condition. , after comprehensive comparison, I think you are the best among them.”
"Me?" Li Dechang asked in disbelief.
Of course he knew where the northern end of the Strait of Malacca was. It was much closer to the island where he was born and to his family than Sanya. But from Zhang Qianzhi's tone, this doesn't seem to be a position related to his current job content.
The Ministry of Security has a lot of experts who are responsible for the establishment and operation of intelligence stations stationed abroad. How could a technocrat like Li Dechang, who has been sitting at his desk drawing maps for a long time, be the best candidate?
If Zhang Qianzhi insists on thinking so, then there is probably only one possibility. This is because of Li Dechang's special origin and family background, hoping to use his father's connections and resources in the Xingdao region to help establish this new station. Foreign intelligence station.
Li Dechang could study science and engineering, so his brain was naturally not bad. He quickly recovered from the shock and understood Zhang Qianzhi's intention.
Zhang Qianzhi said: "If you are willing to accept this task, then you will be appointed as the director of the new intelligence station, responsible for our country's security intelligence work in the Indian Ocean. The level of this position is the same as that of your father... Regional Intelligence Director.”
Zhang Qianzhi directly stated the conditions, which made Li Dechang, who was about to refuse, swallow the words on his lips.
He does not think that he has the professional ability to run and manage a foreign intelligence station on his own. If he rushes the ducks, he may make a mess. Not only will there be no success, but there will be success. The most rational choice is of course Reject this job and stay in Sanya to do what you are good at.
But the position of "Regional Intelligence Director" does have extraordinary appeal. This not only means that Li Dechang will be promoted three levels in a row based on his current position, but also will have greater room for development in the future.
His father, Li Dagui, had been following Roger since he went south. After struggling in the South China Sea for several years, he took up the post of intelligence director of the region after the Xingdao Region was officially established.
If Li Dagui retires from his current position, he will certainly find ways to arrange for Li Dechang to succeed him. Putting aside the probability of success, how can this be as glorious as taking up the position mentioned by Zhang Qianzhi.
Li Dechang asked cautiously: "Sir, what I learned in my humble job was related to industry. I only received intelligence training in the early stages of joining the job. Can I really be qualified for the position you mentioned?"
Zhang Qianzhi said: "Your father is an old minister of the Ministry of Security, but when he joined the job, he did not have the special training you have received. He was directly sent to Ambona Island to take charge of intelligence work. As long as you are determined, I will I believe you can accomplish this task well!”
