To be honest, the idea of the 25th Production and Construction Brigade came up shortly after Gao Wen realized that someone was trying to investigate the Cecil Land, and he can admit very frankly and happily that more than half of the name comes from Anyway, people from other worlds don't understand the stalk of the earth, so Gao Wen saw his bad taste. If he plays stalking wildly in this world, it won't affect his majesty as the patriarch who opened the coffin, and he may even be regarded as a wise strategy deep performance...
But although there was an element of bad taste, in Gao Wen's opinion, dealing with the spies who sneaked into the territory in this way also had a certain effect.
It is true that the dead spies will no longer pose a threat to the territory, but they will not generate the slightest value, and Gawain... he is actually a person who will not let go of any "value".
He is building an economic-intelligence network throughout the entire southern border, but it will take a long time for this network to mature and function. It will take time for merchants to gain a firm foothold everywhere, and it will take longer for intelligence channels to be established and run stably. , even those future "Military Intelligence Officers" are still receiving the most basic training in Cecil Territory, and the spies from all over the southern border who fell into Gao Wen's hands at this time... Treasures that fell from the sky.
If it was a top spy like the Royal Shadow Guard, Gawain might have adopted even more thunderous methods, because a royal who possessed all kinds of superpowers and would rush into the crowd wielding a two-handed sword and whirlwind once exposed The damage that the shadow guards can cause is huge, and the hidden dangers of keeping them outweigh the benefits, but the spies released by the local nobles in the southern border are at another level. Just look at their "professional level" Gao Wen knows These are just miscellaneous soldiers. In terms of survivability in the enemy environment, they may not even be as good as Hu Po's hundred horses...
On the one hand, the strength of the nobles in the southern border is limited. On the other hand, they obviously haven't paid enough attention to the Cecil Territory. Naturally, they will not send the most elite spies to such a place, and the miscellaneous soldiers they sent are generally The purpose of the spies is not so much to spy on the secrets of the Cecil family and to destroy the construction of the pioneering territory. In fact, the purpose is more to find out what the old ancestor was doing in the south
It is also because of this that Gao Wen did not resort to thunderous tactics in a nervous way, but chose to gather the spies together to raise a Gu or something...
Of course, for those spies who have been caught and exposed, there is nothing to do. They still have to be dealt with, and the news has to be announced. And this is also good. It will be more real if a group of spies are exposed. None of the spies led by Cecil had any accidents, so the nobles of the southern border would be even more suspicious that even a single spy could not be found. I am afraid that this ancestor is not a fake.
As for the consequences of sending out spies and being discovered by Grand Duke Cecil, the nobles are probably not too worried. Intrigue is the daily life of the nobles, especially in the situation where the various regions are separated. It can be said that everyone checks each other. Common food, to put it bluntly, is just collecting the most marginal information. If there is no substantial damage and it is not done too much, no one will tear their face for it. In addition, the household registration management in this era is about zero, even if things are troublesome. It is relatively large, and there is still a way to go to save face and refuse to admit it.
But one thing Gao Wen knows very well, the "25 Brigade" will not exist forever, there will always be smart people who will realize the truth and expose everything. With the current level of organization of the Cecil Territory, this day may not come until a long time later, and before the truth of the "25 Brigade" is revealed...
Gao Wen felt that he could use this large group of spies to do many things.
After sending Hetty away, Gawain sent someone to call back Amber who had gone out to fish.
As soon as they met, before the half-elf could speak, Gao Wen asked bluntly, "How is your training going?"
"Anton and the others?" Seeing Gao Wen's expression, Amber knew that this was the time to talk about serious business. At this moment, gags are very easy to be knocked off the head, so she put away her desire to make fun of the old rice dumpling, "It depends on what you mean. Fighting people head-on can only scare people, and it is impossible to see results in such a short period of time with reading and writing, but you have to say let them understand the status quo and what the lord is going to call them for...they It's already clear."
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "What about the common sense of identity disguise, intelligence collection, and message delivery?"
Amber smiled: "This is their old profession, plus the professional courses you arranged for them, it will be difficult to learn."
"Very well, it's time to send the first batch out."
Amber was a little surprised: "So fast?"
"Someone has already begun to send spies to Cecil, and we have to speed up the operation of our intelligence system," Gao Wen shook his head, "And I don't intend to directly give them too difficult tasks, after all, the basic training is not over yet. .Didn't you say last time that those people can find more 'helpers' from other places? This is the first task for them. Find people, find more seedlings, and then continue training, next year Spring is the time for them to follow the Cecil trade route to the entire southern border."
"Then I understand, just leave it to me to arrange this matter," Amber volunteered to slap her chest, "I know the situation of those little bastards better than anyone else, I will arrange tasks for them and you will be responsible for approving actions for me Funds will do."
Gawain is 10,000% sure that the last sentence is the fundamental purpose of this half-elf...
But he is very clear that this guy just likes to talk about death, and she can still distinguish the priorities when it comes to business, and from the very beginning, he has already planned to let Amber be in charge of this aspect: "You don't Said that I am going to send you there and not only this time, from now on, this group of people will be handed over to you, including the team they expanded later.”
Amber's ears trembled twice, as if she didn't respond: "Huh?"
"There is no one in the territory who is more suitable for this matter than you," Gawain looked at the half-elf seriously, "and no one knows your subordinates better than you."
Gao Wen is not fooling around, but the fact is true: Although she looks like an incomprehensible thief, Amber is the most suitable candidate to lead the intelligence organization in the territory. She is first of all an excellent shadow master, and can train more shadow elements. Professional, secondly, she is quite familiar with all kinds of people from the three religions and nine streams, and has a good understanding of dealing with various people and collecting information from various environments. Finally, she has the experience of traveling across the southern border and has built a large-scale team in the process. Quite a large team, even after leaving for many years, this team still maintains a high degree of loyalty and trust in her, which shows that she actually has a certain leadership ability and charisma, but she is usually out of focus The image is ruined.
Compared with Amber, the other people in the territory are completely out of professionalism. Hetty is good at internal affairs and knocking on Rebecca's head. This kind of people are simply pure scientific researchers. In the end, Philip and Byron have some intelligence experience, but they are better at military affairs and cross talk...
No one is more suitable to be the head of the intelligence agency than Amber.
Gao Wen suddenly covered his forehead: "What kind of people are there in the mother's territory..."
Amber didn't understand what was going on all of a sudden: "Huh?"
"It's okay, I'm distracted," Gao Wen quickly straightened his posture and looked up at Amber, "I appoint you as the first director of the Cecil Military Security Intelligence Bureau, responsible for the training and management of intelligence personnel and the entire set of intelligence. Work, directly responsible to me, understand?"
It wasn't until this time that Amber finally confirmed that Gao Wen was serious. Although he usually kept saying "I'm super powerful", when the time came when he was about to be entrusted with important tasks, the half-elf was a little panicked. She stared and confirmed again and again: "Are you serious? Are you sure you want me to come? Don't blame me for screwing up!!"
"This work is not as complicated as you think. I will help you establish a simple framework and tell you how to manage it. Then you can find people from your own staff to fill your department. You can also apply for civilian staff from Hetty. I have already written the basic rules and regulations and precautions for intelligence work, and you can take them home and study them carefully later, in a word: I believe you can do a good job."
Amber calmed down, and suddenly looked into Gao Wen's eyes seriously, before saying softly after a long time, "...do you trust me?"
"trust."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Three days later, in a special facility located in the military area, Scarface Anton sat quietly in the front row of the lobby, waiting for the order to arrive.
He no longer wore the old dirty, torn, and always smelly waistcoat, and replaced it with a well-cut, well-pressed black thick fleece sweater, a fabric that has only become popular in the past two years. Unlike the sleazy sackcloth of the poor, and not prohibitively expensive, a favorite choice of better-off, better-off townspeople, he sat upright, shaven, though his face was still scarred. He looked menacing, but he thought he was ready to pretend to be a businessman.
Sitting next to him was the "witch" Jibri. This woman no longer wore her shabby and ridiculous witch costume, and took off the bunch of "magic" decorations that had no effect and could only scare people, and replaced them with a A well-fitting mage's apprentice tunic, and a short oak staff in her hand, she sat quietly, holding a spell book in her free other hand, like a real mage's apprentice. The trick that can only pop a few sparks can finally come in handy.
Jibri, who has calmed down, really looks like a "witch".
Next to it, there are "Bucktooth" Bobby, "Longfinger" Sam, "Fast Legs" Pierce...
These bastards washed off their dirt one by one and put on decent clothes. They sat upright and quiet, like real citizens, or real decent people, merchants, apprentice wizards, apprentice knights, apothecaries and others. Bards, these are the roles they've been learning to play and will be for some time to come.
Not everyone has learned well. Many people are still "like a barefoot ruffian in leather boots" in the mouth of the eldest sister, but no matter what, today is the time for them to prove their worth to the lord.
A commander will come here, as the direct future leader of these people, to announce to them the first order of the lord.
The guys in the back row had already started whispering and discussing what kind of person the so-called "commander" would be, but Anton turned a deaf ear to these people's discussions. He just quietly looked at the desk at the front of the room, Waiting for the moment when a figure appears above.
A hazy shadow suddenly appeared there, and then a half-elf emerged from the air out of thin air.
The slightly chaotic lobby immediately fell silent, while Anton smiled as if he had expected it.
"Little bastards, I am your future commander!" Standing on the high platform, Amber looked at the familiar faces below with a high air, "I brought the lord entrusted to you. first task.
"Complete this task, and when you come back, you will no longer be punks in the gutter, no longer scumbags, no longer looked down upon rats and bugs, and you will have a formal and dignified new identity
"You will be the first operatives of the Cecil Military Security Intelligence Agency!"
