Sirio Reci's words made Fang Lang fall into deep thought. He probably didn't think of this question suddenly, but had thought about it carefully for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken at such a lengthy length.
Since the person in charge of the intelligence agency has already raised this issue, Fang Lang cannot help but take it seriously.
After taking a serious look at Sirio Regis, Fang Lang spoke seriously:
"How do you think it should be divided?"
Sirio Reci originally spoke out his thoughts after looking at Fang Lang's expression. Now that he saw his serious face, he knew that his words had attracted the other party's attention. This was of course a great thing for him. After all, which subordinate doesn't want his superior to pay attention to his opinions?
But he had to think carefully before answering Fang Lang's question, as this was a major event related to the future of Brazil's intelligence front, so he had no choice but to be cautious.
After taking a few sips from the teacup on the table, Syrio Recci said slowly:
"Boss, there are only two ways to divide the work among intelligence agencies in the world. One is to divide the work according to different internal and external directions.
Another is to carry out different divisions of labor according to their respective units.
...
...
Both situations have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it mainly depends on the actual needs of each country. According to the current actual situation in Brazil.
Our Second Section of the Logistics Department actually focuses its main efforts on internal counterintelligence work, and its external infiltration and intelligence gathering work is not outstanding.
But now that you are asking us to shift our focus and conduct deeper infiltration and intelligence gathering in Argentina, we must strengthen our foreign intelligence capabilities.
In this case, my suggestion is to classify our intelligence agencies into two different working directions: internal and external. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded first, then shook his head, and quickly glanced at Sirio Regis thoughtfully, with a hint of inquiry in his deep eyes:
"Well! This method is good, but why not set up intelligence agencies based on the different divisions of labor among various units, and then let these agencies set up their own internal and external departments?"
Facing Fang Lang's inquiring gaze, Sirio Reci did not back down. He knew very well in his heart that Fang Lang was testing him to see if he was unwilling to distribute his power for the sake of his own power.
He looked into Fang Lang's eyes calmly and said directly with a relaxed expression:
"Brazil's intelligence agencies have all been developed with your support. If they are too dispersed, they will be easily defeated one by one and end up serving as a tool for others. This will cause us to lose control of Brazil's intelligence agencies.
Dividing it into two separate institutions, internal and external, does not prevent us from setting up respective branches in different departments or fields.
This way, we will have tighter control over our intelligence agencies than if we had too many decentralized branches.”
Cirio Recchi spoke very frankly. This was a very realistic situation and there must be some selfish motives involved. After all, the current Brazilian intelligence agencies were built up bit by bit by Cirio Recchi with the support of Fang Lang.
He certainly didn't want the intelligence agency he had worked so hard to build to fall apart and get out of control. Similarly, he believed Fang Lang would definitely not want the intelligence agency he had invested manpower, material resources, a large amount of money and effort to build to get out of his control because he wanted it to play a greater role.
Therefore, on this point, Fang Lang and Sirio Reci are on the same side, and there is no need to hide their selfish motives.
Fang Lang certainly understood what Syrio Reci meant, and he also approved of Syrio Reci's idea.
As for whether this would make the opponent difficult to get rid of, Fang Lang was not worried, because the intelligence force Fang Lang had at his disposal was not just Sirio Recchi's.
There is also a group of intelligence experts from the Military Control Commission who formed the Fangyuan Group Investigation Department. This is an intelligence agency that is more hidden than the Second Section of the Logistics Department.
Even in the Second Section of the Logistics Department, there are people from this organization lurking. These intelligence personnel were first recruited by the Investigation Department of Fangyuan Group and then underwent rigorous training. They were recruited into the Second Section of the Logistics Department by Fang Lang in various forms.
Then, after being screened and trained by Section 2 of the Logistics Department, they were sent to work in various subordinate intelligence agencies. These intelligence personnel who had undergone dual training were carefully selected by the Investigation Department, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Their families all worked under the Fangyuan Group, and they knew very well that their real boss was Fang Lang. Although Fang Lang was the boss behind several organizations, they knew very well that they were the private chess pieces planted by the Fang family in the national intelligence agencies from the very beginning.
The only person they truly owe allegiance to is Fang Lang. In addition to completing their own overt intelligence work, they also have to help their boss monitor the situation within the intelligence agency.
If anyone has any disloyalty, they will report it immediately. Even if Sirio Recchi wants to do something that harms Fang Lang's interests, they will respond immediately. It can be said that this is Fang Lang's real backup.
Because Fang Lang watched a lot of movies, TV shows, and novels about spy warfare in his later life, he attached great importance to intelligence work, so he spared no effort in investing in the Investigation Department of Fangyuan Group.
In addition to the intelligence personnel in the Investigation Department whose family members work in Fangyuan Group, the Investigation Department also has a very secret intelligence personnel training school, which is very covert.
The students in this school are all children adopted from orphanages around the world. These children are of different ages, both boys and girls, and have different skin colors.
From the moment they were taken away from the orphanage, they were put on a hood mask that could only be removed when they left the school.
No one knows their true faces except for a few instructors in the school who are responsible for file management and provide training on makeup and camouflage.
Although they are in school, their identity information outside is always maintained by others. However, these people do not know the significance of maintaining this information.
The instructors who knew their true appearance and information knew that once they entered the school, they would never have the chance to leave.
This school has been running quietly for more than two years, and there are still two years before the first batch of students graduate.
Fang Lang believed that after these students graduated, Fang Lang's external intelligence capabilities would be rapidly improved. Even if the Cold War ended, these intelligence personnel could provide the Fang family with a steady stream of research intelligence on high-tech fields.
That’s right, Fang Lang’s main purpose in training them was not for military purposes, but to collect intelligence about the latest technological frontiers from countries around the world.
The reason for such secretive and rigorous training is to cope with the cruel and fierce espionage war during the Cold War.
After all, in the next few decades, most of this high-tech intelligence will come from confidential research institutes in the United States and the Soviet Union. If the Fang family wants to get the cutting-edge technological intelligence they need from these places, they must be prepared for the possibility of being hunted down by the US and Soviet intelligence agencies.
Therefore, compared to the open intelligence agencies such as the Second Section of the Logistics Department, Fang Lang pays more attention to the Fangyuan Group Investigation Department which few people pay attention to.
This professional intelligence force in the Investigation Department, which had undergone rigorous training at school, had a plain name, Warehouse No. 5. However, no one could tell the location of Warehouse No. 5.
Even these students didn't know who they were working for. Even if they were captured by the US and Soviet intelligence agencies, they would not expose the Fang family.
With such confidence and strength, Fang Lang certainly would not be afraid that Sirio Regis would become too powerful and even disobey his orders. Because at this time, among the people he trusted most, there were already hidden people that Fang Lang had planted.
After smiling slightly, Fang Lang poured the other person a cup of tea, then nodded affirmatively and said:
"Well! Very good! Tell me more specifically. There is no need to be shy. Speak freely and openly."
After receiving Fang Lang's affirmation, Cirio Recchi breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little worried that Fang Lang might suspect that he wanted to seize power. Although Fang Lang had always trusted him very much, the current Second Section of the Logistics Department was no longer what it used to be.
After rapid development in recent years, it has become an important force in Brazil. It is no exaggeration to say that 80% of any disturbance in Brazil now cannot escape their eyes and ears.
As a man in control of such a force, Sirio Regis had to tread carefully, for fear of betraying Fang Lang's trust and support, and for fear of arousing Fang Lang's suspicion.
Now Fang Lang's attitude made him understand that his position in Fang Lang's heart had not been shaken. This made him feel relieved and at the same time, he was more grateful to Fang Lang.
Now that Fang Lang allowed him to speak freely, he no longer hid anything and spoke directly:
“Boss, my idea is to reuse the identity of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, since you are planning to let the Brazilian Intelligence Agency arrange personnel to infiltrate Argentina.
Then we might as well turn the Brazilian Intelligence Agency into our external intelligence agency, responsible for collecting foreign military, political, economic and other intelligence.
The Navy Intelligence Department and the Intelligence Police will be responsible for domestic counterintelligence work, so that we can complete the internal and external division of labor and avoid making our intelligence department too bloated and affecting work efficiency. "
Fang Lang generally agreed with Syrio Reci's idea, but it might not be appropriate for the Naval Intelligence Department and the Intelligence Police to be responsible for domestic counterintelligence work at the same time.
This is because it will lead to overlapping responsibilities between the two departments, which will not only waste resources, but also may lead to mutual buck-passing and wrangling.
So, after Fang Lang pondered for a while, he slowly shook his head and said:
“It’s fine for the Brazilian Intelligence Agency to specialize in foreign intelligence, and it’s also fine for the Intelligence Police to be responsible for domestic counterintelligence, but it’s not necessary for the Naval Intelligence Department and the Intelligence Police to be responsible for the same work.
How about this! Let's separate the military intelligence part! The Naval Intelligence Department will be divided into two parts: internal and external, but their scope of work will only be within the scope of the Navy.
If there is an opportunity in the future, we will see if we can propose to set up an Air Force Intelligence Department and an Army Intelligence Department to be responsible for the intelligence work of the Air Force and the Army."
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Syrio Reci did not show any dissatisfaction. He certainly knew that there would be overlapping duties between the Intelligence Police and the Naval Intelligence Department. The reason why he did not point it out was that he wanted Fang Lang to cancel the Naval Intelligence Department.
But after all, it was Fang Lang who had just proposed to establish this department, and it was really taboo for a subordinate like him to immediately propose to cancel it.
I didn't expect that Fang Lang would directly separate the Naval Intelligence Department. In this way, the power in his hands might be divided into three parts in the future.
But it must be said that Fang Lang's idea was correct. The importance of military intelligence was obviously very important, and he had nothing to say about listing it separately.
This would indeed be more conducive to the collection of special intelligence. As long as he still controlled the Second Section of the Logistics Department, he could completely hide behind the scenes and supervise the three intelligence agencies.
"Yes, Boss! You are far-sighted and see things more comprehensively. I still need to learn more from you."
Hearing this, Fang Lang glared at this guy speechlessly. When did this kid start to flatter others?
Seeing Fang Lang's eyes, Syrio Reci naturally knew what Fang Lang meant. He quickly coughed twice and embarrassedly put away the slightly flattering smile on his face.
What he didn't know was that at this moment, Fang Lang was already thinking about whether the Second Section of the Logistics Department still had meaning to exist.
Since he was destined to leave the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier fleet and become the real and powerful leader of the Navy Department, he decided to re-divide the Brazilian intelligence agencies and let the intelligence police take charge of domestic counterintelligence work.
So now the monitoring of American and Soviet spies must be handed over to the intelligence police. In this way, the original staff of the Second Section of the Logistics Department will almost be completely divided up by several intelligence agencies.
Under such circumstances, it was actually inappropriate for the Second Logistics Department to continue to hide under the Rio de Janeiro Fleet. It would be better to simply cancel this department from the fleet.
Fang Lang was a straightforward person. They were discussing this issue. Now that he had a new idea, he would not hesitate and spoke directly:
"How about this! I will set up an intelligence analysis room to replace the current Second Section of the Logistics Department. You will be my intelligence adjutant and be responsible for managing this intelligence analysis room.
All intelligence collected by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, Intelligence Police and Naval Intelligence needs to be uploaded to your analysis room for archiving.
To the outside world, you don't have the title of leader over them, but in fact you have management functions. This makes it convenient for you to analyze all the intelligence collected and also for your management.
Even if something happens to them, it will only be their organization's business. If other countries want to retaliate, they can only target them. Your analysis room only receives and analyzes the intelligence they upload, so it is hard for people to think that you are their person in charge.
This will allow us to stay in the background as much as possible and not be noticed.”
The reason why Fang Lang always wanted to hide himself behind the scenes was not because he was afraid of retaliation from other countries, but because he did not want people in Brazil to know that he was the real leader of these intelligence agencies.
With his identity, it is likely to cause a lot of people to feel uneasy, and then many people will jump out to make irresponsible remarks, which will be very detrimental to Fang Lang's future plans.
