Hearing Fang Lang mention the importance of using high-tech technology in intelligence work, Syrio Recchi couldn't help but nod seriously. The most commonly used equipment now is the monitoring equipment, but they do not have the production capacity of these devices themselves.
They were all purchased from the United States. It is ridiculous to use equipment purchased from the United States to monitor American intelligence personnel. If discovered by the Americans, they will most likely find out about them.
Now Fang Lang said that both the CIA and the KGB had specialized equipment research labs, which made Cirio Recchi even more nervous. Fang Lang's suggestion to use loopholes in high-tech tools to secretly transmit intelligence also touched upon his technical blind spots.
So, after hearing this, Sirio Regis smiled bitterly, looked at Fang Lang with embarrassment and said:
"Boss, we all know that these high-tech equipment you mentioned can help us with our work, but our country's current technical reserves in this area are really incomparable to those of European and American countries!
Not to mention the big ones, just the monitoring equipment we are using now is almost all purchased from the United States and the United Kingdom. Not only are the products not the most advanced, but the quantities are often limited.
In this situation, we are not capable of using high-tech means to quietly pass on intelligence to them! "
Hearing this, Fang Lang could not help but frown. This was indeed a big problem. If even the monitoring equipment had to be purchased from the Americans, it would be too passive for Brazil's intelligence work.
If these devices were discovered by the Americans and they were traced back to them based on the product numbers, they would be embarrassed.
...
...
Therefore, it seems that it is really necessary for them to set up their own spy equipment research and development organization. The investment in this organization will definitely be very large. After all, the products need to be miniaturized as much as possible so as not to be discovered by the enemy.
Fortunately, research in these areas will not be useless. At least the miniaturization of eavesdropping equipment, that is, the miniaturization of microphones and receiving and conversion equipment, will be successful. Once the research is successful, the miniaturized microphones can also be used on telephones in the future.
In order to produce these devices, it is necessary to have the corresponding electrical appliance production and manufacturing capabilities.
Does Brazil have the manufacturing capability to manufacture these things? Needless to say, of course it does, but most of the factories that have mastered the production technology produce civilian equipment and obviously have no research on special spy equipment.
However, this does not prevent them from using ordinary civilian electrical appliance factories to produce these special equipment.
"How about this! You guys find a way to raise some funds and set up a special research laboratory for intelligence equipment under our Fangyuan Group Electrical Appliance Research Institute. Relying on our Fangyuan Electrical Appliances' equipment and technology, find a way to manufacture domestically produced professional equipment.
Avoid the embarrassing situation you are in now, using American equipment to monitor American intelligence personnel. "
The Fangyuan Group Electrical Appliance Research Institute that Fang Lang mentioned was actually a research institute that relied on the television production line originally imported from the United States.
The main research direction of this institute is to improve the clarity and picture quality of televisions while finding new alternatives to television screens.
Later, at Fang Lang's request, a research institute for a series of white appliances including refrigerators, electric fans, telephones, washing machines, rice cookers, microwave ovens, ovens, air conditioners, etc. was established.
The current television factory has long since become the Fangyuan Electrical Appliance Factory, which produces a series of household appliances including televisions, electric fans, washing machines, refrigerators, etc.
Thanks to Fang Lang's decades of experience, the home appliances produced by Fangyuan Electric have abandoned the bulky, black and heavy metal image of most home appliances, and have taken the lead in applying engineering plastics on a large scale to non-stress-bearing positions such as the unimportant appearance of the product.
Although the cost of engineering plastics was still relatively high during this period, its price was not superior to that of metals.
However, the plasticity of plastic makes Fangyuan Group's products not only beautiful and fashionable in appearance, but also light in weight. They are very popular among European and American housewives.
Fangyuan Home Appliances' products are almost invincible in the European and American markets, forcing European and American home appliance manufacturers to retreat step by step and leave them with no ability to fight back.
Under such circumstances, Fangyuan Group naturally paid more attention to the development and application of plastic products. It not only obtained patent authorization from DuPont of the United States, but also directly acquired Germany's BASF Chemical through Morgan Bank and established Fangyuan BASF Chemical Company in Brazil, which is responsible for the production and research of various dyes and plastic products.
In order to further reduce the cost of plastic products, Fangyuan Group invested a large amount of money to research the industrial production of engineering plastics, which enabled polyethylene to be industrialized ahead of schedule, even though it was originally scheduled to be industrialized in 1957.
It is widely used in the home appliances and automobile manufacturing fields of Fangyuan Group, making the products produced by Fangyuan Group not only advanced in function but also affordable, and it has occupied most of the European and American markets in an instant.
The profits from these household appliances are also quite scary. Although Fangyuan Electric Appliances has not yet become the group's largest profit source, its profit growth rate is making even the most profitable tobacco company under Fangyuan Group nervous.
So, when Fang Lang asked Syrio Recchi to raise funds to set up a specialized research laboratory for intelligence equipment under the Fangyuan Electrical Equipment Research Institute, Syrio Recchi was so happy that he almost jumped up.
In his opinion, Fangyuan Electric Research Institute has very strong technical capabilities. As long as it is given a clear research direction and has reference to existing American equipment, it will be able to quickly develop its own intelligence equipment.
At that time, they will no longer have to worry about being strangled by others in terms of these devices, or being traced back to them based on the purchase of these products.
Sirio Regis stood up with a look of joy, saluted Fang Lang and said:
"Yes, Boss! I will start raising funds as soon as I get back and make sure this laboratory is up and running as quickly as possible."
Seeing the other person looking as happy as a little kid, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed it down, motioning the other person to sit back down and talk slowly. He didn't forget to blame:
"If we have such needs in the future, we should not hide them but raise them as soon as possible. We should solve the problems that we can solve directly as soon as possible.
If we can't solve it ourselves, we can always look for solutions from other countries in the world!
Now that you have this laboratory, you must make good use of it. Don't just follow the United States and the Soviet Union and copy other people's equipment. You should also let your own intelligence personnel come up with their own ideas based on their work needs, and let the researchers in the laboratory study them to see if they can be realized.
Only in this way can we promote our equipment to be closer to actual application.
We should not just focus on the surveillance and eavesdropping equipment. If we have the sharpest spear, we will definitely have the strongest shield. We should use our brains to see if we can use technological means to counter the enemy's surveillance and eavesdropping on us.
In addition to monitoring equipment, there should be many other needs, such as confidential communication equipment, encryption machines, etc. These are all equipment you need to research on your own.
Of course, you are the professionals in specific equipment, and I believe you must know what equipment you need better than I do. My requirement is that you can conduct research based on the work needs of intelligence personnel themselves.
Don’t let the researchers in the laboratory rely on their wild imagination to design and manufacture some completely impractical weird equipment, which will not produce any results and waste funds.”
As he spoke, Fang Lang felt that he was being a little long-winded. After all, he had only watched a few spy movies and TV shows in later life, and he knew nothing about real spy warfare. What he said here might just be an amateur guiding an expert.
It would be embarrassing if it backfired.
But Syrio Reci listened very carefully, not because Fang Lang was his boss, but more because he thought that many of the things Fang Lang said made a lot of sense and were definitely the guiding principles of good advice.
Therefore, he nodded to Fang Lang very seriously and said:
"Yes, Boss. We will definitely consult with frontline intelligence officers extensively to develop the most suitable intelligence equipment for ourselves."
"Very good, you can study the specific situation yourself, and just remember that technology is for the service of mankind.
By the way, there is one more important thing that I asked you to come here for this time."
In areas that he doesn't particularly understand, Fang Lang now tries to only provide guidance in the general direction to prevent his subordinates from clicking on the wrong technology tree and going down the wrong path.
Seeing that Sirio Reci understood what he meant, Fang Lang stopped talking and started talking about the important reason why he called him over this time.
Hearing that Fang Lang had more important things to tell him, Syrio Reci quickly sat up straight and waited for Fang Lang's orders.
Fang Lang poured the other person a cup of tea, organized his words, and said seriously:
“In the next stage, in addition to monitoring foreign intelligence personnel in the country, your work focus will be tilted towards Argentina.
In addition to the intelligence personnel already in Argentina, we must increase our efforts and send more personnel to carry out deeper infiltration into Argentina.
Since Juan Veron regards Brazil as his opponent, we must do what our opponents should do.
If there is any movement in Argentina, we must react faster than them.
Can you do that?
That's an order.
As soon as Fang Lang finished speaking, Sirio Regis stood up with a serious expression and replied loudly:
"Yes, boss! I promise to complete the task!"
This time Fang Lang did not let Sirio Regis sit down casually, but continued in a serious tone:
“In the next few years, the relationship between us and Argentina will inevitably be very tense. In addition to collecting military intelligence from Argentina, you must also collect intelligence on their economy and people’s livelihood.
More importantly, find a way to get in touch with Juan Perón's opponents. When you have nothing to do, sing a different tune for them, hold them back, and don't let them have it too easy.
Once you find some dirt on Juan Perón, you can use these people to create some trouble for him!"
Speaking of the latter part, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Sirio Regis couldn't help but smile and responded:
"I see, boss. Just wait and see!"
"Don't forget to find those Argentine intelligence personnel in our country. If the situation permits, use them to cause trouble for the US and Soviet intelligence personnel and try to avoid the possibility of being discovered by the US and the Soviet Union.
Do you understand what I mean? "
Looking at the boss in front of him with a cunning light in his eyes, Syrio Recchi couldn't help but freeze the smile on his face. He had never expected such a bold move.
This is really taking advantage of the Argentines! When the time comes, use the Argentine intelligence personnel to provoke a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. When the United States and the Soviet Union find out, Argentina will have a good life.
Thinking about the consequences the other party might face, Syrio Recchi couldn't help but shudder.
"I understand, boss! I understand. We will let the Argentines take the blame for us when the time comes."
After saying that, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, Sirio Regis saw that Fang Lang seemed to have finished giving the order, and he carefully recalled Fang Lang's words. He seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and couldn't help but speak:
"Boss, from what I heard from you just now, it seems that you are going to carry out intelligence work on Argentina in the name of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency. Are you going to divide the work among our intelligence agencies?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but be stunned. He had never thought about this carefully, but now after Cirio Recci said this, he suddenly realized that in order to hide the existence of the Second Section of the Logistics Department, he not only planned to set up a naval intelligence agency and intelligence police, but also the existence of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency.
Brazil's intelligence agencies seem to be in a state of confusion. Not only will people abroad not be able to figure out their situation, but they themselves may also be in chaos. Responsibilities will not be clear, and once any problems arise, they may blame each other.
Now that Cirio Recchi had said this, he felt that it was really necessary for everyone to divide the work, otherwise, not only would they blame each other when encountering problems, but even if they encountered an enemy situation, it would be a waste of manpower and energy if several organizations targeted them at the same time.
Now that Sirio Recci has asked this question on his own initiative, the other party might have some thoughts in this regard in his mind. It would be better to listen to his opinion first.
"You are my intelligence steward. What do you think about the division of labor among intelligence agencies?"
As soon as Sirio Reci heard Fang Lang's question, he made a judgment in his mind. It seemed that the boss had indeed considered the issue of division of labor in the intelligence department. The reason why he didn't say it was probably because he was concerned about the feelings of himself, the chief intelligence steward.
This made him feel moved, and at the same time, he also felt the great responsibility he had.
After a brief thought, he slowly said:
"Boss, our Logistics Department's Second Section has become a behemoth. I feel that both the organization and the staff are a bit bloated.
In order to better carry out intelligence work, I think division of labor is imperative.
Now that we are planning to set up a Naval Intelligence Department and an Intelligence Police, we might as well disperse the personnel of Section 2 of our Logistics Department.
By then, the personnel of these institutions will all be our people, and the chief officers will definitely be appointed by you. I believe they will be fully under your control.
More importantly, according to your idea, only by allowing them to operate in the name of their own organization can the existence of the Second Section of the Logistics Department be completely concealed.
By then, we will just say that they were transferred from the Brazilian Intelligence Agency. I believe that no one will know about the existence of the Second Section of the Logistics Department.
But we can let the Second Section of the Logistics Department hide behind these agencies and carry out command and coordination work. In fact, they are still the intelligence agency under the Second Section of the Logistics Department. "
