The case file shows that Hu Yupu failed to send out the complete structure diagram of the steam engine. Because the "Ironware Industry Corporation"'s secrecy measures have played a role, Hu Yupu knows something about it, and he is familiar with how the locomotive was built. , But there are a lot of things on the forging hammer, he is not a professional technician, and he doesn't understand why it can move on its own...

Mr. Tie also has strict control inside. Normal technicians and handymen can only enter one room. Even Hu Yupu can hardly access the complete drawings. This time, for fishing, the fake drawings released were given by Hu Yupu, who was eager to sell information. A copy was made, but it was captured on the spot.

Zhang is a member of Beihua. She wisely confessed her home in Rising Sun City and was also captured. Then she contacted the official staff of Beihua in Rising Sun City. The other party admitted that they belonged to them and asked us. Treat them well...

Yang Ying'er couldn't help but laugh: "Spying on my family's intelligence, but also thinking about being kind!"

But you really have to be kind, because Nanhua also has an intelligence network in Beihua. If you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame others for doing the fifteenth.

In addition, North China spies have high-ranking South China counter-intelligence officials interceding for them, because North China's spy system was established for them by South China spy officials, and there is a friendship between teachers and students!

In ancient times, the teacher-student relationship was a very solid relationship, and it was nothing for the teacher to speak for the students.

In recent years, the espionage activities of various overseas countries in South China have become more frequent. They are very interested in South China's scientific and technological, military and economic intelligence. They are constantly spying, and South China's counter-espionage agencies have captured many people.

As far as Yang Yinger knows, the number of spies sent by the Japanese Kingdom to South China and North China is quite large. Take Kenroku Abe from the Rising Sun City Office of the Japanese Kingdom for example. This guy is a big spy, except that he is a little shorter. Besides, the other costumes are no different from the Ming people. They speak the authentic Hokkien dialect, which is very confusing.

He specializes in running to the upper level to obtain information. This is both on the surface and in the dark. He wants to get into the army, factories, and government offices...and try to get information.

Even if they are caught, they will continue to send in, persevering.

They are especially interested in the production technology of silk, porcelain, tea, sugar and rum, and they do everything possible to spy on them and want to get technology.

Of course, South China has more intelligence personnel sent to foreign countries, and the money spent is not a small amount!

Yang Ying'er read the file and agreed to the above sentence: "Hu Yupu is a South Chinese, betraying state secrets, he is unforgivable, and he is strangling a decision! As for Zhang and other North China intelligence personnel, none of them will be killed, and all of them will be exiled to the island to repair the earth. Departments at all levels are being vigilant, keeping state secrets, and preventing foreigners from taking the opportunity."

This matter ends here, but espionage acts are staged in endless countries, as long as the country exists, it will be endless.

...

Sometimes, espionage is not necessarily a professional person. Amateurs will also send out information about what they have seen and heard. The information obtained does not necessarily need to be spying, but is obtained publicly. For example, this is called Egypt. Rickson’s Swedish captain, he went to the east to start normal trade, but when he returned to Sweden through France, Spain, England, and the Netherlands, and finally returned to Sweden, he warned all the countries all the way and screamed: "Europeans want to pick up. Weapons, the Chinese will fight the Europeans sooner or later!"

After the middle of the 17th century, world trade was extremely prosperous. There were two main routes from the West to the East. One was to enter the Mediterranean Sea, pass through the Suez Canal, go to the Red Sea, then cross the Indian Ocean, cross the Strait of Malacca, and reach the South China Sunburst. The cargo will return to the voyage, or continue to Guangzhou in North China or Nagasaki in Japan.

The other road is the "galleon trade route". Every spring, Spanish galleons carry silver across the Pacific Ocean from Mexico in the Americas to Manila, Luzon, Asia, and sail straight down the ocean current. It only takes 3 months to reach Manila. .

In almost the same season, cargo from Chinese sailing ships arrived in Manila, ready to trade with Spanish merchants.

In addition to Chinese goods, goods from India, Persia, Japan and other countries gather in Manila.

The Spanish galleon transported silver into Manila, and the two sides paid the silver one-handedly for delivery.

The Manila galleon carrying a large number of commodities set sail northward from Manila in the southwest monsoon in June, followed the "Kuroshio" on the North Pacific and reached the port of Acapulco in the Americas. The journey lasted more than 10,000 nautical miles and lasted about 6 months. .

As for the previous Europe-West Coast of Africa--Cape of Good Hope--East Coast of Africa--Indian Ocean---Southeast Asia route, with the opening of the Suez Canal, it is almost deserted. After all, no one wants to taste the winds and waves of the Cape of Good Hope. The storms caused by the confrontation in the Pacific are too much for anyone to bear.

The Chinese kindly transported a large amount of goods across the Suez Canal and placed them in Alexandria for purchase of white skins, which greatly reduced the trade cost. However, some white skins still had some trading ships through the Suez Canal to reach the mainland of China to carry out trade. There is a ship called Gothenburg, which belongs to the Swedish East India Company.

In ocean-going trade, the Swedish East India Company is a latecomer, while Sweden is located in Northern Europe, at the "tip" of the large maritime trade, and is heavily exploited by other large white-skin trading countries.

In 1626, the Dutchman Ilselc was granted a license from the King of Sweden to establish a trading company. However, the Dutch-Spain war blocked the waterway and prevented him from sending ships to Asia.

Sweden at this time was in a period of prosperity ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Sweden formed a Baltic Empire centered on the Gulf of Finland, including Karelia, Ingria, Estonia and Livonia. Sweden also gained a large territory in Germany, including West Pomerania, Wismar, the Duchy of Bremen and Velden. At the same time, Sweden also conquered the territories of Denmark and Norway north of the Songde Strait, and successfully suppressed Lao Maozi's desire for the Baltic Sea estuary.

Out of jealousy about the huge profits of the Netherlands, Britain, Spain, and Portugal in the East-West trade, and not resenting the exploitation of Sweden by other countries, the key is the opening of the Suez Canal, which facilitates the exchanges between the East and the West, without having to go through the unpredictable Cape of Good Hope. King Carl X Gustaf of Sweden ordered the formation of the Swedish East India Company to carry out trade with the East!

The establishment of the Swedish East India Company was inspired by the success of the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company, and successfully obtained Royal Assent privileges, which took effect on August 3, 1656, with a tentative validity period of 15 years.

Regarding the Swedish East India Company, the king has high hopes and has set corresponding rights and obligations, including: the company has the right to trade and sail in the area east of the Suez Canal; all entry and exit must be outside of Gothenburg; the Swedish state can Each ship is charged 1200 marks, plus tax; the goods must be auctioned when they arrive in Gothenburg; there is no limit on the number of ships that the company can use, but the ships must be manufactured and assembled in Sweden; the ships must fly the Swedish flag and own Swedish ships can obtain certificates; the company has the right to issue stocks to finance trade ships; the goods and warehouses required by the company can be exempted from tax at the Swedish customs; the officers of the company have equivalent powers to the Swedish naval officers; the crew of the company are also exempted Served in the Swedish army; the company has the right to self-defense, "violence is used for violence"; the company must keep the identities of investors and shareholders a secret.
