Chapter 1713 Privileged Institutions

Due to the special functions of intelligence agencies, the recruitment targets of the Haihan Security Department are not limited to those within the system. In fact, many security department officials have not even joined the Haihan nationality when they were first recruited. In terms of recruitment, they can

It is said to be the most eclectic official organization. As the highest-level official of the Ministry of Security in the southern end of the South China Sea, Cheng Dapeng also has the authority to recruit personnel independently, but the quota must be approved by the Sanya headquarters. And this time he arrived

Xingdao came to recruit special talents for Spain, and he had obtained permission from Sanya in terms of procedures, giving him the power to operate on his own.

But this delegation of power is somewhat helpless. The Ministry of Security is temporarily unable to provide Cheng Dapeng with the professionals he needs, and can only let Cheng Dapeng find ways to solve the problem locally. The only feasible solution Cheng Dapeng thought of was

The best way is to recruit prisoners with suitable conditions from Star Island, and then try to train the selected personnel into spies, and send them to areas in Matalan Country where Spaniards may appear to gather information.

The training methods that Cheng Dapeng can implement are naturally not as complete as those in Sanya, but the intelligence personnel he recruits and personally trains are definitely much better than those sent by Sanya. Cheng Dapeng is in Badawi

Sanya has been here for several years, from a single-handed intelligence officer to a regional director. He gave up his position in Sanya and returned to Batavia because he wanted to make a career of his own here. Since the above

Having clearly stated that he had delegated power, he naturally took advantage of this opportunity and began to build a team that would obey his orders.

For an intelligence officer working on the front line like Cheng Dapeng, being able to command his subordinates is a very important thing. This is not only a matter of work efficiency and intelligence timeliness, but also about the quality of the people he commands.

The personal safety of everyone in the intelligence network. Of course, the reliability of subordinates who have been personally trained will be higher.

Cheng Dapeng didn't have any appreciation for Qin Huacheng, but Qin Huacheng's personal conditions and experience seemed to him to be very suitable for the intelligence profession. As long as he spent some time training him to master the basic skills of an intelligence officer, he could be sent to the target.

The area carries out the task of collecting intelligence. Although Qin Huacheng's qualifications cannot be seen through this simple conversation so far, among the several candidates Cheng Dapeng has selected so far, Qin Huacheng's conditions are already outstanding.

Qin Huacheng didn't know what arrangements the other party would make for him. He only knew that after agreeing to Cheng Dapeng, he would be able to leave the hard labor camp immediately. But leaving this place did not mean that he would regain his freedom.

, working in the Security Department is also subject to various rules and regulations. However, the Security Department has far more autonomy than ordinary official departments, and there are indeed many special benefits that you can enjoy after joining.

Qin Huacheng returned to his temporary residence and waited anxiously for nearly two hours. Just when he was about to lose his patience, a guard came to notify him and asked him to quickly pack his things and prepare to leave.

Qin Huacheng said happily: "Can the villain really leave the hard labor camp?"

The guard responded impatiently: "Stop asking so many questions. You used to ask me several questions every day, but now that I'm letting you go, you still don't want to leave? If you don't want to leave, then don't leave!"

Qin Huacheng quickly waved his hand and said, "No more questions, no more questions, I'll pack my things now!"

In fact, Qin Huacheng didn't have much personal belongings. He only had a set of eating utensils, chopsticks and water cups that every prisoner had, a change of underwear, and a cloth pillow made of rice husk cores. They were all gone. Do you want to bring these things with you or not?

, it didn’t matter to Qin Huacheng at all. Anyway, they were all things issued by the prison after arriving at Xingdao, and they were not considered his private property. And the things and clothes he had on when he boarded the ship from Manila were all due to what happened during the voyage.

They were all burned after landing due to the epidemic. Qin Huacheng looked around and finally returned to the guard empty-handed, saying that he didn't need to pack anything anymore.

Cheng Dapeng selected three people, including Qin Huacheng, from the candidate list of the Second Battalion of Hard Labor, and then went to the warden Qin Bodu to handle the relevant personnel transfer procedures. Tan Juren gave Cheng Dapeng a warrant before that.

, let the hard labor camp fully cooperate and ask for people, Qin Bodu will naturally not have any objection to this arrangement. In addition, the people selected by Cheng Dapeng are all of Han descent, and Qin Huacheng has already relied on

Having accomplished their meritorious service and exonerated them, these people just gave it to them, and there was no loss to the prison authorities.

If there is any impact, it is probably that the Spanish teachers of the guards have to be replaced. However, this is not a big deal for Qin Bodu. Anyway, he has already cleaned up the heads of the prisoners.

, the demand for Spanish-speaking talents is not that urgent.

Qin Bodu looked at the list, signed the release document with a swipe of a pen, and handed it to Cheng Dapeng. He had not had much dealings with the Ministry of Security in the past, and he did not know what the official position of the shopkeeper surnamed Cheng was.

, but since the other party can let Tan Juren directly issue a warrant and ask for his cooperation, the background is definitely not trivial, so he just needs to cooperate well.

Cheng Dapeng thanked Qin Bodu and stood up to leave. He had to go to another hard labor camp on the island to see the situation and try to pick a few more suitable people to take with him. His trip was not just for a simple trip.

To select people from Sing Tao, you still have to go to Malacca City to complete the spice trade with the Portuguese. The stop at Sing Tao is just for supplies, and you won't stay here for too long.

When Cheng Dapeng left Xingdao that afternoon, he took away six Chinese prisoners, including Qin Huacheng. All the files of these six people were also taken away by him. If these six people can pass the subsequent training and assessment, then

From now on, their personal files will be rewritten, and the level of confidentiality will be much higher than that of ordinary people. The disgraceful history that they served in prison on Star Island will also be sealed in the files.

Qin Huacheng didn't really believe that he had escaped from the hard labor camp until he boarded the ship and put on the clothes prepared by Cheng Dapeng. But when he saw that there were several other people who were treated the same as him, Qin Huacheng couldn't help but feel a little sour.

, you must know that he finally got the opportunity to make meritorious service and completed the task well. If calculated according to the offset sentence, he must be the first among these people to be released after serving his sentence. But these people are just because

Being favored by Cheng Dapeng can immediately exempt him from all prison terms, which makes him really psychologically unbalanced.

Especially when I remembered Cheng Dapeng's tone when he interviewed me before, it seemed that he would only pick a suitable candidate from the hard labor camp and take him away, so he was determined to seize this opportunity. Who would have thought that this guy actually picked six people! Qin Huacheng

He couldn't help but feel like he was being teased. It seemed that this opportunity was not as valuable as he thought. If he had known this, he felt that he might as well be at Xingdao and wait for news about the previous case. At least his personal safety would be more guaranteed.

Some.

As if he had seen through Qin Huacheng's thoughts, Cheng Dapeng called him to the side of the ship alone and said to him: "The six people who followed me on the ship, including you, are all just candidates. In the end, they can only pass the training review.

Only then will you be considered qualified. At that time, there may be one or two people who can be used, or maybe none. If you fail, then I will arrange for you to return to Star Island."

"Can you come back if you fail?" Qin Huacheng was a little stunned and couldn't help but feel excited.

"Yes, you can come back, but the previously offset sentence will be invalidated. You will have to serve three years of hard labor here before you can be released." How could Cheng Dapeng not guess what he was thinking, and immediately cut off his future with words?

road.

"But the villain's previous sentence was all offset by the warden's promise!" Qin Huacheng quickly defended.

Cheng Dapeng shook his head and said, "That's a matter of the forced labor camp. When you agreed to go with me, all the deals between you and the forced labor camp were voided!"

"You... then you..." Qin Huacheng was furious. He wanted to break up with Cheng Dapeng immediately, but he was worried about his own fate and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Cheng Dapeng didn't seem to notice Qin Huacheng's flushed face, and continued to say unhurriedly: "If you want to enjoy freedom as soon as possible, then follow the instructions well in the future. If you learn your skills well, you will naturally have success in the future.

When you are superior to others."

Qin Huacheng didn't understand what Cheng Dapeng was referring to at all, but he could also understand from the other party's actions of taking away so many people from the hard labor camp that the other party's energy was indeed not small. If he fell out with Cheng Dapeng, then

The unlucky one will definitely not be the other party. Let's take care of it now and see what arrangements he has. After figuring out the reason, Qin Huacheng's mood finally calmed down.

Qin Huacheng and others were arranged to live in the cabin below the deck, but they were no longer detained, but mixed with other sailors and crew members on the ship. Cheng Dapeng had no intention of isolating them alone, but only asked them to stay in the cabin.

Without permission, you are not allowed to move around the ship at will, including going on the deck.

After leaving Sing Tao Port, this lucky ship continued sailing northwest along the channel channel, heading for the city of Malacca, which is four hundred miles away.

Since occupying the city of Malacca in the early 16th century, the Portuguese have been operating in this place for more than a hundred years. Relying on the geographical advantage of connecting the two oceans, Portugal built a commercial port city based on the original city of Malacca.

And it once became the trading center of the Straits of Malacca.

However, since the Dutch operated the city of Batavia near the Sunda Strait, the commercial status of Malacca City has been greatly challenged. In particular, some spice crops originating from the west of Java Island have been almost monopolized by the Dutch.

, which greatly affected the operation of the spice market in Malacca City. Businessmen from the Indian Peninsula and the Middle East diverted their routes to Batavia, which greatly injured the Portuguese. However, the Portuguese armed forces in the Far East were not enough to eliminate them.

The city of Batavia, controlled by the East India Company, could only watch as the Dutch took away their market share.

This situation did not change until the appearance of the Haihan people. The spices and tropical crops that had been monopolized by the Dutch somehow appeared in the large and small plantations of the Haihan people. The Portuguese finally found a new

of supply.

But the Portuguese were not happy for long. Haihan's rise in the South China Sea was much faster than they expected. In a few years, it moved south from Hainan Island along the Indochina Peninsula, occupied the Amborna Islands, and continued southward.

A colony was founded on Sing Tao at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. This place is located exactly at the eastern end of the Strait of Malacca, guarding the throat channel, and is only four hundred miles away from the city of Malacca. Although Haihan kept saying that this location was chosen for the convenience of opening a port.

The allies supported each other, but its obvious intention to replace the city of Malacca gave the Portuguese a headache, and they had to always be wary of this neighbor.

Although the two sides are allies in name, they are inevitably in different beds in this environment. Haihan also knows that Portugal has also coveted Star Island for a long time. Therefore, at the beginning of this year, Haihan mobilized troops from Star Island to conquer Manila, rather than from farther away.

Annan borrowed troops to go south to guard Xingdao, but he did not dare to entrust the safety of Xingdao to the nearby Portuguese allies.

For Cheng Dapeng, the conflicts between these countries do not have much impact on him. A multinational businessman like him with a large scale of operations is a popular target no matter which country he goes to. For example,

This time we came to Malacca from Batavia, the Portuguese here didn't care that he came from the territory of the Dutch. This was not the first time they had traded with Cheng Dapeng, and they knew very well that this businessman could get those who were almost already there.

The specialties of Java Island are monopolized by the Dutch. Moreover, through Cheng Dapeng's channels, they can resell the products produced in the Portuguese colonies to the Batavia market at a good price.

Qin Huacheng and others were driven back to the cabin when the ship entered the port and were forbidden to show their faces, so they could not see the scene of the most prosperous port in the Strait of Malacca during the day. However, after nightfall, they were allowed to go up to the deck for some fresh air.

But at night, you can only see the scattered lights on the shore, so it is naturally difficult to intuitively understand the extraordinary features of this port city.

The ship stayed in the port of Malacca for three full days, and Qin Huacheng and others were only allowed to go on the deck after nightfall. Their curiosity about the city of Malacca was quickly dissipated under this arrangement.

They must be clean and eager to leave this boring place as soon as possible. Even if they are sailing on the endless sea, it is better than anchoring here. At least during the sea voyage, they can have more time to stay on the deck and enjoy the sea breeze and sunshine.

When they left the port of Malacca, Qin Huacheng and others were greatly relieved. At least from this moment on, they no longer had to be bored in the cabin. But just when they thought they could relax, Cheng Dapeng gave them

A problem arises.
