Fang Lang looked at the other person deeply, trying to determine whether the other person was sincere.
After all, the other party had just said that he didn't know whether his family had escaped, and now he said he wanted to use his family as hostages to gain Fang Lang's trust.
But are family members really useful? Who knows whether the so-called family members are real family members or fake ones?
In Fang Lang's heart, he was really envious of the skills of these professionals.
People always say "Do not doubt people when you employ them, and do not employ people you doubt."
But Fang Lang thinks it should be more like "Be suspicious of people when hiring them, and hire those you are suspicious of."
Fang Lang thought about the reason why the Military Control Commission was so powerful. What was it? Was it because of their professional skills? Of course not.
It is because of their identity background. They are the country's violent intelligence agency and they are acting on behalf of a country.
But, if they follow me, will they still be so powerful?
...
...
Obviously not. No matter how professional they are, it is impossible for me to put them into the Brazilian Intelligence Agency.
Even if he wanted to infiltrate the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, he would not use these former Military Intelligence Bureau agents, but would train his own people.
No matter how unprofessional the Brazilian Intelligence Agency is, it is impossible for it to directly recruit new immigrants of unknown origin.
Since they no longer have the powerful national background they once had, and now really need my protection, can I bring them under my command?
After thinking it over again and again, Fang Lang still felt that he could give it a try.
After all, he also needs an intelligence force that belongs entirely to him, and the Second Section of the Logistics Department can also be used by him.
But after all, that is a department of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, and I don't actually have the right to command them.
We have so many factories and enterprises, as well as many other places, that all need some professional intelligence information support.
“There is no need to place my family. I am not a state agency and I do not have such great power and ability.
But sometimes, I do need some intelligence support.
How about this! If you are willing to work for me, I can hire you on behalf of Fangyuan Group's Investigation Department.
Sign a formal employment contract with you."
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Zhong Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
In their view, working in the Fang family's industry means working for Fang Lang, and Fang Lang can provide them with shelter.
At least if the Military Intelligence Bureau wants to enter Brazil to sanction them, it must consider the impact of this matter.
If we really become enemies with Fangyuan Group, will the business of exchanging labor for penicillin in my hometown be able to continue?
Will the four major families in the country forgive them?
It can only be said that Zhong Ze and the others thought too much. Even if the Military Control Commission found their traces, would they spend such a high cost to send killers all the way to Brazil to sanction more than 30 of them?
If you want to sanction more than 30 people in a foreign country, you must send at least nearly a hundred people!
Fang Lang found it hard to say whether the Military Control Commission still had the energy to do so.
After all, it was already May 1946. Chiang Kai-shek had made up his mind and was ready to take action at any time. How could the Military Control Commission have the energy to pay attention to some intelligence personnel who had fled overseas?
What's more, they sent a large group of troops to hunt them down from afar.
Even if Old Dai was really killed by this group of people, probably no one would pay attention to them.
This is because these Military Control Commission personnel, who have lived under the strict rules of the Military Control Commission for a long time, have developed a fear of the Military Control Commission.
"Commander Fang, thank you so much!
Rest assured, we will make sure you see the value.”
Fang Lang waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
“No need to talk about this, everyone just takes what they need.
The Investigation Department of Fangyuan Group is a newly established department.
Considering that you have just arrived in Brazil, you are unfamiliar with the place and don't speak the language.
The most important thing now is to familiarize yourself with the situation as quickly as possible and learn Portuguese, otherwise you will not be able to carry out your work locally."
Speaking of this, Fang Lang seemed to have thought of something:
"Oh! No, that's not right. Let's put it this way!
You should first go to an immigration company and create a complete identity file for all Chinese immigrants.
If there is a shortage of manpower, you can recruit some people from the labor force who you think are suitable.
I require that we have a complete identity file for all Chinese who obtain immigration status.
Most people who immigrate directly have complex identities and possess a certain level of economic strength.
Many of them may be traitors who have escaped the net. I am not going to take their lives, but I also cannot let them escape from their hometowns to come here to enjoy a peaceful life.
Do you understand what I mean? "
How could Zhong Ze not understand Fang Lang's request?
Nodding directly:
"No problem, boss, this is what we do best.
Don’t we need to investigate the labor union now?”
Zhong Ze's attitude changed very quickly, and he has now directly entered the role of an employee.
There was no sense of incongruity in calling him "boss".
“You only have so many people, and the number of immigrants is enough for you to investigate.
When the workers submit their immigration applications, you will review their information!
Well, it seems that the thirty-plus of you are really not enough.
From now on, you will create a file for every Chinese who immigrates to Brazil through our Fangyuan Group.
I will ask the immigration company to give you the information for review for every person who submits an immigration application. Only those who pass the review can we help them submit their immigration application.
For those with identity problems, they should be allowed to work as laborers for a few more years.
Just think of it as a labor reform for them.”
Before all immigrants or workers board the ship, the immigration company will fill out a personal file for each immigrant and worker, and after entering Brazil, this information will also be submitted to the Immigration Bureau.
However, it is actually very difficult to ensure the authenticity of this file, otherwise there would not have been incidents of Japanese people pretending to be Chinese and boarding immigration ships.
Fangyuan Group does not have the energy to conduct a detailed investigation into the backgrounds of these people, mainly because it does not have the professional staff.
Now that we have these professional personnel from the Military Control Commission, we can organize this work!
Immigrants and workers are different.
Many of the laborers were sold to labor companies by the Hongmen or the National Government. Are there any hidden traitors among them? Of course there are.
But since they were sold to a labor service company, they are probably not evil people.
Even if there are, they will be screened out if they want to apply for immigration.
However, those who actively apply for immigration often want to flee their hometown for some reason, especially those who carry huge sums of money and are not serious businessmen.
It is very likely that he is a traitor who escaped the net.
“Yes, boss.
This is a simple screening job. But it is too far from my hometown, so some situations may not be verified.
If necessary, can we take some measures? "
After hearing Zhong Ze's words, Fang Lang was silent for a while. The methods used by the Military Control Commission were not ordinary methods. If they were not handled properly, people might die.
This is not what Fang Lang wants to see.
Fang Lang thought that this method might have adverse effects on immigration, so after thinking about it, he decided to refuse.
“There’s no need to resort to such means. Let’s do this! All those who have doubts will be marked.
These people were forcibly sent to less developed inland areas for centralized management and residential surveillance.
But if someone is found who is suspected to be Japanese, you are allowed to use force, but you cannot cause obvious physical injuries. Do you understand?
Be cautious with anyone who needs to resort to means.
This is Brazil, we don't have enforcement powers, you know what I mean?"
As a former Military Intelligence Bureau agent, Zhong Ze doesn't care whether he has the power to enforce the law or not!
Since the boss has made it clear that anyone suspected to be Japanese can be punished, he knows where the boss's bottom line is.
It is obvious that the boss is very hostile to the Japanese.
Of course, these intelligence agents who have been fighting the Japanese on the intelligence front will not be polite.
As for the power of law enforcement, Zhong Ze didn't care at all. When would an agent who lurked in the enemy's territory to obtain intelligence need the power of law enforcement?
"Understood, Boss. So when can we start working?"
“Don’t worry, this is only a small part of your work. What’s more important is to seize the time to learn the local language and integrate into the local environment.
If necessary, we should also recruit some local intelligence personnel and train some intelligence personnel who are loyal to the interests of us Chinese.
How about this! We can find a hidden place and secretly build a school to train intelligence personnel.
Adopt some children of other skin colors and train them to be our own intelligence personnel.
I hope that in the future, no matter who he is, if he wants to harm our Chinese forces in Brazil, we will be able to predict it in advance.
In addition, our Fangyuan Group will establish many advanced technology research institutes in the future, and all confidential information in these institutions will need you to protect.
It may also be necessary for you to go to other research institutions to obtain some confidential information we need.
I believe these are what you are good at, right?"
Zhong Ze did not expect that Fang Lang had such high expectations for them. According to Fang Lang's idea, if their investigation department really had such great power in the future, it would be comparable to the current Military Control Commission.
This made Zhong Ze excited and motivated for a moment.
In fact, Fang Lang was also influenced by later movies, especially the stories of the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States on the intelligence front during the Cold War, which are even more fascinating.
He didn't want to fight with the intelligence agencies of countries like the United States and the Soviet Union, but he also hoped to have a thorough understanding of the situation in Brazil.
He never wanted to be in a situation like this again, where the higher-ups had already competed to upgrade his Marine Corps to a brigade level and had selected a commander without him being aware of it.
He only received the notification after everyone else had made their decision.
But what Fang Lang didn't expect was that he had accepted a group of Military Control Commission agents on a whim.
Many years later, the Investigation Department of Fangyuan Group actually became an intelligence agency similar to the secret police.
Fortunately, since they have no law enforcement powers, they mostly just do intelligence gathering and investigation work.
But for those hostile forces and those who come to Fangyuan Group's important research institutions to gather intelligence, the work ability and methods of this investigation department are enough to make people shudder.
Compared with the ruthless methods they use to treat their enemies, the methods used by those commercial intelligence companies are as gentle and cute as little lambs.
Their tentacles in Brazil have penetrated into every aspect of society, and any disturbance in Brazil cannot escape their eyes and ears.
