Chapter 95 Duke Hruna's Decision (9...
At present, the Military Intelligence Bureau is equivalent to a brigade-level unit. The Director Lieutenant Colonel Schönell (first term) is responsible for managing the daily activities of the entire Military Intelligence Bureau. The Military Intelligence Bureau is divided into four main components, each part being led by the chief officer, and the four main components are: the Comprehensive Management Office, the Operations Office, the Intelligence Office, and the External Relations Office.
The General Management Office has the Department of Logistics, Communications, Security, Personnel, Finance, Medical Services, Training and Education, Data Processing, and various regional branches. The head of this department is personally held by Director Lieutenant Colonel Shener;
The Operations Department has a counterintelligence, internal and external intelligence, covert operations, cover, evaluation, planning and design department, and the supervisor is Lieutenant Penduath. The Marseilles have graduated from Saint-Sil Military Academy (short-term class) and returned to the Desay Division station one month ago;
The Intelligence Department has a management and analysis, ordnance and technology monitoring, demand and evaluation department, and is in charge of the Catalonians and Captain Passel. The latter finally chose to defect to Desay rather than to live in seclusion with his newlywed wife;
The External Relations Department has a business exchange, newspaper control, public opinion guidance section, military and political liaison office, and is in charge of Jewish people and Captain Candiola;
The above-mentioned plans are all derived from Desai’s own "creative". To put it bluntly, it is based on the memory of time travelers, which imitates the organization of the CIA and the British MI5 and 6 in later generations, and adds and reduces the products (such as the Public Opinion Guidance Section). The Military Intelligence Bureau nominally only exists to collect political, military and economic intelligence, directly belongs to Grand Duke Hruna, and provides reference opinions for the latter to make military and political decisions. In fact, the Military Intelligence Bureau is also responsible for secretly monitoring local military and political officials and their families at all levels (without Desai’s authorization, arrest and interrogation cannot be carried out), and can intervene in many matters such as domestic and foreign affairs, as well as possible subversion, assassination, explosion, kidnapping and other activities that may be carried out in the future.
Although it was in its inception, in the past three months, the Military Intelligence Agency has successfully infiltrated Barcelona, Zaragoza, Madrid, Paris, Toulouse, London, Rome, Vienna and other places, and set up secret branches there. The entire military intelligence agency has more than 500 employees, including French, Irish, Poles, Spanish, British, Austrian, Russian, Jewish, Hungarian, Bohemia, etc.
Starting from October 28, at 8:00 a.m. every day, a briefing on the day's affairs from the Military Intelligence Bureau will be received on the desk of Grand Duke Hruna. The briefing was personally transferred by a full-time intelligence officer (Polish second lieutenant, Adam Koror) sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau. After Desai browses and instructions, it will be recycled and filed in the internal archives of the Military Intelligence Bureau. If Desai instructs that the content of the briefing needs to be shared with military and political officials, the copying task will be completed by the full-time intelligence officer, and the original manuscript of the briefing will not be passed on.
According to the joint plan of the Duke of Desay and Lieutenant Colonel, the military intelligence agency's intelligence personnel will be expanded to more than 2,000 in the next three years, and the intelligence area will be expanded to the entire Europe and North America, especially the five countries including the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland, Russia, and Prussia, which will be the focus of intelligence collection after France. To this end, Desay promised Lieutenant Colonel that the budget given to the military intelligence agency will increase by 100% year by year from 1810 to 1812. In addition, Grand Duke Khruna also prepared 1 million francs as a special budget, which can be added to the temporary operations of the military intelligence agency at any time.
Of course, in order to balance the disadvantages of excessive power of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Desai also strengthened and restored the responsibilities of the military police organization. He signed an order to allow Lieutenant Colonel Karls to serve as the chief officer of the police department of the Grand Duke, and announced that all violent matters such as investigation, rounding up, interrogation and interrogation in the jurisdiction of the Hruna Autonomous Territory and within the Desai Division must be handed over to the leadership of the military police (Ministry of Police) and cooperated with other departments. As for the final trial procedure, the military is managed by the Military Law Department and the political court is handed over to the civil court.
To a certain extent, Desai deliberately retained the overlapping responsibilities between the military police and the Military Intelligence Bureau. Not only that, in the concept of the time traveler, once the conditions are ripe, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be set up as the third pillar of the intelligence department in the future.
...
The information submitted by Lieutenant Colonel Shener was not long, only one page, but Desai looked carefully for an hour. He repeatedly confirmed and tried to find rebuttal words from the many time periods and event points listed. But in the end, Desai gave up because the information itself described impeccable facts.
At this moment, Desai just wanted to wave his arms, roar at someone's angry roar, and question why he chose to betray him. A few minutes later, Desai successfully suppressed the anger in his heart. Soon, he issued an order to the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau:
"Let your people impose secret surveillance on him, including suspicious people who come into contact with them, documents, packages, etc."
"Is it possible..." Lieutenant Colonel Shener cautiously wanted to express his suggestions, but was interrupted by Desai immediately.
"No arrest, no interrogation, only secret surveillance! Even if he chooses to defect, everything will be left."
"But I am worried that he would act unfavorably to the Duke himself, whether he could leave his current position. For example, suddenly getting sick or accidentally injured, it would take some time to isolate and recuperate." Lieutenant Colonel Shener understood his monarch's complex feelings towards "him", but his responsibilities were that he had to repeatedly make suggestions and eliminate all discord-harmony factors in the bud.
After pondering for a while, Desai, who weighed the pros and cons, finally nodded in agreement with the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau's advice, but instructed: "Remember, you should not damage his health too much. Well, it's a last chance!"
After dealing with the issue of "betrayer", Lieutenant Colonel Schönell replaced the full-time intelligence officer and personally reported other affairs to the Duke of Desay.
"… Captain Candiola heard from Barcelona that the Hruna Chamber of Commerce has reached a package of trade agreements with British merchants, including ordering canned food from Hruna worth 20,000 pounds per month, and being allowed to purchase "Desay-style" medical stethoscopes and canned tinplate patents, and carrying out extensive cooperation in humanitarianism (note: the noun invented by Desay) in the field of herbal medicine and battlefield rescue;
Similarly, the British side allowed Hruna to purchase Welsh coking coal, introduce iron ore desulfurization equipment from Mantester Mining Company's iron ore, purchase various farming equipment, obtain the patent for Corte forging furnace, allow Forsyth Patent Firearms to transfer the patent for mercury firing guns, etc. However, regarding the technology transfer of Watt steam engines, British merchants said they could not do anything because the British cabinet listed it as an absolute ban on selling goods. The specific terms of the trade agreement will be submitted by your home secretary, Professor Say;
…The Toulouse Intelligence Station said that 18 experts and scholars invited by Professor Say have gathered at the reception station of the Desai Division in Toulouse City, including about 70 family members. Of course, the number of people may continue to increase. A week later, they met with Lieutenant Colonel Karls, who returned from Paris, and rushed to Hruna along the western coast of the Mediterranean."
Hearing this, Desai suddenly interrupted: "How many troops are there in Toulouse that Carls stayed in Toulouse?"
"127 people, a military police squadron." Lieutenant Colonel Schönell gave the answer without hesitation.
"It's not enough, and another 100 are transferred. No, 200 Polish cavalrymen are coming to support. Records: After receiving the order, Colonel Waldevsky will send reinforcements from the expert group to the north within one hour and accept the command of Lieutenant Colonel Karls. Don't hesitate!" Desay took over Lieutenant Colonel Shener's transfer order, signed and signed, opened the door and handed it to the commander waiting outside the house.
Desai turned his head and ordered: "Also, let your people pay attention to whether there are signs of Spanish rebels along the way. If there is any disturbance, report to Lieutenant Colonel Carls at any time. I do not want any mistakes in the expert group, and even if it is frightened, it cannot be allowed!"
"As for orders, my Duke!" Lieutenant Colonel Schönell replied respectfully, and after receiving Desai's instructions, he continued to read other information.
"... Zaragoza Intelligence Station reported that Colonel Fernando and others had fled from the house arrest. They were probably heading south to Selivia to join the parliamentary elections held by Central Honta, and it is possible to formulate a new constitution.
…The Madrid Intelligence Station reported that in November, Marshal Sirte defeated the main force of the Spanish Hongta army in the suburbs of O'Connor south of Madrid. The enemy was almost destroyed. A total of 4,000 people were killed, 14,000 were captured, and the French army lost less than 2,000. It is reported that King Joseph, accompanied by General Hugo, personally went to command the killing of the enemy."
Desai was stunned after hearing this. He really didn't expect that the seemingly cowardly Spanish puppet king would have a hard and bloody side. Before, he underestimated Joseph.
“…Information personnel are in contact with the former Spanish king, Ferdinand VII, the Pope and Pius VII. Due to the short time, the communication crowd is mostly the chefs and gardeners of the castle, and have not made substantial contact with the two Majesties;
...The Paris Intelligence Station forwarded the news obtained by Lieutenant Colonel Carls. It is said that the emperor had determined to divorce Queen Josephine around Christmas. However, because the Russians rejected the French ambassador to Russia General Kolangu, and replaced the emperor to propose to the eldest sister of the Russian Tsar Alexander, under the persuasion of Metternich, Talleyrand, Fouche and others, the emperor intended to marry the daughter of the Austrian emperor, Princess Louise. The time was initially scheduled between March and April next year."
This is a historical event that time travelers expect.
Due to the strong exaggeration of Talleyrand, Fouche and others, in Napoleon's eyes, Habsburg was a family with a prosperous family. He knew that he had normal fertility and learned that the emperor's future bride's mother had thirteen children in total. Among the bride's grandmother's generation, one gave birth to seventeen and the other twenty-six, the emperor shouted loudly regardless of the occasion: "Yes, this is the woman I want to marry!"
Napoleon completely forgot the sarcastic words he had made in the Vienna Palace in May this year, for Princess Louise's childhood portrait. "The one who married her was definitely an idiot, a poor man!" The time traveler knew that the emperor would be the poor man, Napoleon's only heir to the throne, King of Rome, Napoleon II, and would be hopelessly suffering from the Habsburg family's genetic disease and tuberculosis. If the time traveler remembers correctly, Napoleon II did not live past 20 years old.
