The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1752. Reorganization of the Intelligence Department (Part 1)

After rejecting Adele Wulan, Tang Xiao stood alone in his office, closing his eyes and meditating.

He found that the intelligence department had begun to make mistakes one after another recently, and he needed to reflect on this issue. First the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker were lost, and now the Republic's Special Forces kidnapped Willix Blissex.

In addition to these two major incidents, the intelligence community also began to experience a large number of omissions in other areas. Increasingly, intelligence in some places has been stolen, or unmonitored riots have occurred.

Although strictly speaking, these things have objective reasons, such as the Luke Skywalker problem. First of all, because they cannot be tracked too closely, and because they are located in an isolated manor on a hostile planet, there is a huge risk of exposure whether it is personnel lurking or drone reconnaissance.

More importantly, it must not affect Padmé Amidala and her entourage who are in a coma. After all, they are pregnant women, so how can they affect the birth.

There is also a reason why Willix Blissex was kidnapped. First of all, the planet Rendili is now in chaos. More than half of the 600 billion people have no jobs, and all food depends on the rationing system. It would be strange if there are no problems. Basically, there are uprisings every three days. Under such circumstances, the local police department and garrison were overwhelmed, let alone preventing the infiltration of Galactic Empire agents.

Therefore, the only way for the planet Rendili is to loosen it internally and tighten it externally. You can make as much noise as you like on the planet. Anyway, Rendili Interstellar Power Company has more than a hundred Victory I-class and Victory II-class Star Destroyers here. If you have the ability, you can cause trouble. Here comes the fleet.

In addition, it has been almost more than a year since Willix Blissex joined the Fourth Civilization with Lundili, and no one has come to challenge him. How can he guard against thieves for a thousand days if he can only be a thief for a thousand days? So it’s normal to relax a bit.

But here's the problem.

First of all, there is no problem with Mrs. M's ability. She also has many capable people under her, including even legendary figures like 007. This is the incredible thing about Tang Xiao's mothership. He has no shortage of outstanding talents in various fields.

Since there are no problems with people, but problems still arise, it can only mean that this department is already overwhelmed. Military Intelligence has too many responsibilities that need to be shared.

In the previous reorganization, Tang Xiao split the original intelligence department into three, namely Mrs. M's Military Intelligence Department, Ni Yongxiao's Secret Intelligence Department, and the National Security Agency led by Helmut Zemo.

But now Tang Xiao began to reflect that he still relied too much on the Military Intelligence Department for daily intelligence. Because we were in a state of war before this, many things came from the Military Intelligence Department. At that time, the goals were clear, and the Galactic Republic itself was full of loopholes, so the Military Intelligence Department repeatedly performed brilliantly.

Now, however, with the fall of the Galactic Republic, it was reorganized into the Galactic Empire. The empire has obviously strengthened its intelligence capabilities, and the environment in the Dawn Principality has begun to focus on internal problems, with the enemies hiding in the dark. Coupled with the recently vigorously promoted relocation plan for the planet Rendili, this has caused the overall security situation in the Dawn Principality to drop significantly.

As a result, the Military Intelligence Department was overwhelmed.

At the same time, the National Security Bureau was mainly responsible for public security and monitoring senior officials within the Principality of Dawn. The former was called the National Security Bureau, and the latter was called the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, this does not exercise its power well.

In addition, Ni Yongxiao is still just a gang leader after all, so having him in charge of the Secret Intelligence Department is still a bit overwhelmed. What's more, he is currently focusing a lot of energy on the spice business, and the spice business has recently been disrupted due to changes in the Hutt space. It starts to get complicated.

In other words, Ni Yongxiao's secret intelligence department has now gone astray. Because of business issues, it went to the Hutt space to cooperate with Titan Security and the Scourge Legion.

Therefore, it is necessary to further reorganize the intelligence department and reduce the burden on Mrs. M's military intelligence department. Both Helmut Zemo and Ni Yongxiao need to be removed from the intelligence services and let them be responsible for their own affairs full-time, giving greater power to the National Security Agency and the Secret Intelligence Service.

Moreover, in terms of very tight financial expenditures, more resources need to be squeezed out to invest in the Intelligence Department to make the Intelligence Department more powerful.

First of all...both departments need strong leadership, Tang Xiao thought about it...

The fourth civilization has been established for a short period of time and lacks sufficient foundation. Many of the talents it has cultivated have not yet fully grown. So for more, we still need to look for it in the hibernation cabin of the mothership.

Then, Gabriel Tosh and his Academy of Ghosts.

Tosh was injured by Darth Tenebrous in a previous mission. The latter's powerful dark side force almost killed him. Even if he was cured by Tang Xiao, Tosh's nervous system was greatly damaged. damage. This means that once Tosh is attacked by the powerful force again, his fragile nerves are likely to be broken again, or at least he will be paralyzed.

So, now with the addition of Nova, Gabriel Tosh can take a back seat. At present, his main responsibility is to train ghost agents in the Ghost Academy. This is more than enough for him, and his other energy can be used to deal with the internal affairs of the Dawn Principality.

Tang Xiao will let Gabriel Tosh serve as the dean of the Ghost Academy and concurrently as the deputy minister of the Secret Intelligence Department.

The power of the Secret Intelligence Department will be increased and it will be directly subordinate to Tang Xiao. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was originally part of the National Security Agency, will also be placed under the Secret Intelligence Department and will be directly subordinate to Tang Xiao.

The Secret Intelligence Service now also has two branches: the Secret Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Among them, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for monitoring and dealing with senior officials within the Principality of Dawn. If necessary, Tang Xiao personally orders it, and has the power to arrest or even execute any official of the Principality of Dawn. This job is most suitable to be completed by the cold-blooded and ruthless Gabriel Tosh.

The secret police are responsible for monitoring other intelligence departments and secretly cleaning up some targets considered to be potential threats to the Principality of Dawn. It can be used to carry out some actions that cannot be exposed. For example, if someone is thought to be betraying but there is no evidence, then the secret police can deal with it.

Therefore, the head of the Secret Intelligence Department does not need to have any strong abilities, but he must be ruthless enough. Of course, it is impossible for a mediocre person to manage so many killers including ghost agents.

Tang Xiao thought for a moment and chose a name from the list of legendary figures - Solomon Lane.

By the way, I am really trying to avoid superheroes and supervillains from Marvel and DC in the book. However, I would not hesitate to let some characters who are not so powerful but have their own unique charm appear. For example, the director of the National Security Bureau will be a Marvel character with no special abilities. It’s not Mom who messes with Fake Man.
