Chapter 2129: Immigration Review Department
The North Sea State originally had only 10,000 engineers in total, but in order to build Murmansk Port, Marin sent out 5,000 engineers before. Kahn brought the second batch. In this batch, 5,000 engineers were actually recruits. And these recruits are basically from the Goslar silver mine in the Harz Mountains, that is, Hungarian prisoners of war.
In the past two or three years, the tens of thousands of Hungarian prisoners of war in the Rammelsberg silver mine in Goslar have been very honest and obedient. But the best miner in mining, Marin will definitely not let go. The engineers sent this time were originally talented in mining and were only suitable for small jobs. These people can't do fine work, but they can still do rough jobs like cutting trees, lifting things, shoveling dirt and paving roads.
This time, the newly built road from Murmansk to St. Petersburg has very low requirements. It is not a transportation avenue. There is basically no load-bearing capacity of the road. Therefore, the key is to cut down the obstructive trees, build pontoon bridges on the river, smooth out uneven roads, and fill up some swamp and semi-swamp areas with dirt, sand and gravel. Therefore, the requirements for the engineers this time are really not high. Of the 10,000 engineers, only half are veterans, and they are the main force in bridging the bridge. As for the chores such as leveling the road, logging and filling pits, just hand it over to the novice engineers from 5000 Hungarian prisoners of war. In addition, for chores, there is no requirement. The locals along the way can also be hired to help with food and salt.
As mentioned earlier, salt is very scarce in Northeast Europe and is a strategic material. Salt in the Grand Duchy of Moscow has been sold at sky-high prices. It is even more difficult for people in Murmansk and Karelia to obtain salt. Therefore, the use of table salt can still attract locals.
Of course, robbers may also be attracted. But this is not a problem. Engineers are also soldiers. Not counting 5000 recruits, 5000 veterans are also capable of combat. Even the veterans carried a lot of muskets and spears. In addition to guarding against natives, it also means guarding against dangerous animals such as bears and wild wolves in the forest. Even the 5,000 novice engineers were originally soldiers of the rebel army. These prisoners of war can't fight the regular army, but there is no problem with the indigenous people. So, don't worry about them losing money.
As for the shortage of people at the Rammelsberg silver mine in Goslar, there is no need to worry. This is because after fighting the Grand Duchy of Moscow, part of the population robbed will be sent to the mines to strengthen the mining and smelting of silver mines in order to expand production.
…
Speaking of this population, Marin has also been upset recently. Because he unexpectedly found a spy among the 20,000 Austrian immigrants sent by His Majesty the Emperor.
These spies have made it clear that they are here to spy on the agricultural secrets of the North Sea country. Although the disguise was very good, it was discovered by Sauer's secret agents because he was too concerned about the secrets of the North Sea country's high yield.
Then, Sauer and Kohler, two spies chiefs, dispatched capable agents, and found a total of 20 Austrian spies among the 20,000 immigrants sent by His Majesty the Emperor.
Probably they have never watched a spy war drama, and will not hide their eyes. These Austrian spies still don't know how to reduce the light in their eyes. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people who are so poor that they are forced to emigrate are indifferent and despair of life. Only children who come to a new place will reveal their curiosity and fear of unfamiliar surroundings.
The Austrian spy sent by His Majesty the Emperor is very old, and it stands to reason that he has become a refugee immigrant at such an age, and his eyes should be dim. However, they had bright eyes and looked around curiously.
Moreover, there is a difference between spies looking around and ordinary people looking around. Ordinary people look around and look around, with some dazed eyes. As for the spy, there was a look of scrutiny and thought in his eyes. Because they are discerning whether this is something they need to remember...
These eyes are basic things in the North Sea State Spy School. His Majesty the Emperor has never watched a TV series, even the anti-Japanese drama, how can I understand this?
Therefore, the people he sent were easily screened out unknowingly. In addition, the French were sent to immigrants in North American colonies, and there were also spies. Like the spies sent by His Majesty the Emperor, those spies didn't have the disguise in their eyes.
The most nonsense is that the spies sent by France are all tall, relatively round and obviously nourished. You know, the victims outside of Paris can’t get enough to eat, and your cat is so tall and round, unlike a starving person, you can see the problem at a glance...
The spies sent by His Majesty the Emperor did not have this problem. Probably, the French had good finances and the spies under him had good food. And your Majesty, poorer than one, his spies did not have enough to eat or when they were young, so he is more like a refugee...
…
However, for the same spy, Marin's approach is indeed completely different. The French are hostile forces, and immigrants have been sent to faraway North America. Therefore, the French spies over there are actually very easy to deal with. Even if it is killed, it can be pushed to the "orcs" and the beasts in the forest. Moreover, France has no position to blame.
It was the 20 spies sent by His Majesty the Emperor that caused Marin a headache. Although His Majesty the Emperor used extraterrestrial tricks, he couldn't get on the table. However, on the bright side, His Majesty the Emperor is still his boss. Therefore, Marin cannot directly attack these spies.
After much deliberation, Marin finally placed these Austrian spies in several manors near Emden Harbor. The characteristic of these estates is that they can withstand the penetration of outsiders. Take fertilizer, for example, Marlin secretly sent someone out to sea, then turned around and pretended that the volcanic ash fertilizer was unloaded at Emden Harbor. Moreover, it will be publicly delivered to the manor near Emden Harbor.
The Austrian spies of His Majesty the Emperor were placed in the manor near the Emden Harbor. What they saw was the scene carefully arranged by Marin. Naturally, there is nothing to steal.
Moreover, for every manor house where Austrian spies are placed, Sauer will arrange spies from several countries to just stare at them to prevent them from getting close to places they shouldn't.
Although the arrangements are well arranged, there are still many sensitive areas near Emden. For example, the shipyard near Emden has many technologies that need to be kept secret. UU reads www.uukanshu.com and the steel plant in Krumhern, north of Emden, is even more inaccessible. Although there are guards over there, they still keep an eye on these spies, which is even more reassuring.
…
Thinking that even friendly forces like the emperor had sent spies, Marin paid more attention to the issue of spies among immigrants. To this end, he convened Kohler and Sauer. After a half-day meeting, he made a new decision-to set up a new department "Immigration Review Department" to conduct review and screening specifically for immigrants.
To this end, Kohler and Sauer each sent a group of subordinates to jointly form this new department. At the same time, the two spies will provide manpower and material support to the immigration review department when they need it, so that the work can be carried out.
In fact, Marin didn't know that the North Sea country had been infiltrated by foreign spies many times. However, because Marin implemented the secret fertilizer processing policy from the very beginning, he also implemented an ID card system in Beihai. Therefore, those who are sent to inquire about the situation but do not have an identity certificate are easily caught.
It just so happens that the level of intelligence in this era is generally very poor, basically staying at the level of the military’s "Malay Newspaper". In addition, Marin was a secrecy freak, so the secret was not revealed.
But recently, it seems that everyone has become acquainted, knowing to hide the spies in the immigrants and send them to the North Sea country. It's also thanks to Marin who discovered it early, otherwise, once these spies who have been in the immigrants have been for a long time and are trusted, it will be easy for them to find out what news.
Therefore, Marin set up an immigration review department in time to review immigration in recent years, focusing on those who like to wander around and who like to inquire about news. Once identified as a spy, it will determine how to deal with it based on its identity and origin. If it is from a hostile force, it is directly wiped out, and if it is from a friendly force, it is also controlled. In short, don't let these spies who are mixed into the immigrants have a chance to play...
