After Heydrich left, Adolf briefly looked at the report documents he left behind. They were probably reports describing the current situation of spies in the Soviet Republic. Most of them were done by British spies, and a small number were done by French and Soviet resistance organizations.
"You heard what I said just now. Come out now, General.”
Adolf put down the document and looked up at the small wine room in the corner of the living room.
"Yes, I heard everything, my Ruler.”As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a navy officer's uniform walked out and saluted Adolf.
William Francois Canaris, the historical admiral of the Imperial Navy, the director of the Army Military Intelligence Bureau.
As Adolf had changed the course of history, Canaris was now the highest officer of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, one of the two major intelligence agencies of the Empire. Not long ago, he was promoted to lieutenant general because he assisted the Imperial Paratroopers in capturing Vienna.
Due to the conflict of functions between the General Intelligence Agency and the General Security Bureau in the operation against the Soviet Union, Adolf asked him to come in order to adjust the relationship between the two. However, Heydrich's arrival was earlier than he expected, so he asked the lieutenant general to leave first.
"What do you think about this?" Adolf picked up his teacup and took a sip of the black tea imported from Huaxia.
"Are you referring to the decree of the overseas administrative districts, or is Heydrich returning to the General Security Bureau?”The lieutenant general asked respectfully.
"Whichever one you care about more is the one.”Adolf glanced at him and said.
"In fact, as a soldier and a chief of intelligence, I don't think the Intelligence Agency and I should discuss the politics of the Imperium. So, to tell you the truth, I'm more concerned about the latter.”Canaris didn't bother beating around the bush and said directly.
"Tell me." Adolf said.
"I think it is necessary to divide the scope of authority of the General Intelligence Bureau and the General Security Bureau.”Canaris said.
Adolf nodded. He was thinking about this question.
Logically speaking, the Imperial Intelligence Agency and the Imperial Security Agency should be similar to the CIB and FBI of the 21st century. However, because Adolf had reorganized the original SS organization and did not properly handle the relationship between them and the intelligence agencies of the National Defense Force, the intelligence community of the Imperium was in chaos, and there were often awkward situations where many departments had overlapping responsibilities.
" I want to do it this way. The original Navy Intelligence Bureau and the Army Intelligence Bureau will be completely merged. The Air Force intelligence agency will be abolished and merged into the General Intelligence Bureau. A few subordinate agencies will be established to take charge of different areas of authority. Those that involve European and American politics, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and diplomatic activities must be carried out separately.”
Adolf said.
" As for the responsibilities of you and the General Security Bureau, I'll make it clear now. Your mission is to be responsible for the overseas intelligence of the entire world, while the intelligence and counter-intelligence missions of the Imperium, including the special administrative regions, will be handed over to the General Security Bureau. This will divide the scope of responsibilities from a geographical perspective.”
"In terms of work, the task of the Intelligence Agency is to spy on the political activities and military intelligence of various countries. You are responsible for infiltrating the enemy's spy agencies, including sabotage, rebellion, intelligence, and surveillance activities.”
" The anti-spy and anti-government activities within the Imperium, including investigations, interrogations, and confidential protection, are carried out by the General Security Bureau.”
"From now on, the term 'secret police' will refer specifically to people like the General Security Bureau. As for spies…perhaps it's not nice to say this, but it's the truth.”
Adolf looked at Canaris.
"I understand, but there's one thing. You just mentioned Europe and the United States, and our jurisdiction covers the entire world. Do you have any other considerations?”
Lieutenant General Canaris asked.
"Haha." Adolf smiled.
"As expected of a spy leader. He has every detail in his words in place!”Adolf sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm.
" Of course, I'm referring to Europe and the United States of America. The intelligence in these two regions should be as detailed as possible. As for other regions, such as the Asia Pacific region, South America, and Africa, we can set up an intelligence division on each continent.”Adolf said.
"Yes, sir." Canaris said.
"How are your subordinates now?”Adolf asked.
"There are currently about 1000 people active in Europe and the United States. They have infiltrated foreign armies and all levels of society.”Canaris reported.
"No, this is not enough. Europe and the United States need to maintain at least 3000 spies. I want to make sure that the speed at which I know the enemy's intelligence will not be slower than the speed of the embassy and scouts!”
Adolf said loudly.
"Yes."
"In addition, your subordinates should only be those who do intelligence, right?”Adolf suddenly asked.
Canaris was stunned. He thought for a moment and said,""There are also some researchers who specialize in intelligence technology.”
"Alright, that's not enough. As a first-class quasi-military department, how can we sabotage the enemy's rear without some real weapons?”Adolf pursed his lips and took out a file from the table. On it were the files of many people.
"You want to form an armed force that only belongs to the Intelligence Agency?!”Canaris exclaimed.
" That's right. This unit is called the Special Forces Army Brigade of the German Imperial Intelligence Agency, codenamed 'Brandenburg'. The commander is Captain Theodore van Shipper, who was transferred from the Imperial Defense Force and is an expert in special operations. These people were handpicked by him from the army. They could speak many different languages and did not need additional training.
This unit was made up of a small number of outstanding personnel to clear the way for the regular troops. Before launching an attack, or even before declaring war, these small teams could penetrate the enemy's rear and occupy bridges, road intersections, and major communication facilities. They could spread false information, blow up supply warehouses, attack the enemy's headquarters, and in general, cause great chaos with a small number of people.”
After Adolf finished speaking, he handed the document to Canaris.
"In addition, I will equip the Brandenburg troops with the latest weapons and equipment. These elite infantry equipment will even take priority over the Imperial Guards!”
Adolf stood up with bright eyes.
The first batch of special camouflage uniforms, walkie-talkies, STG44 assault rifles, MG42 machine guns, and Mauser 98K sniper rifles would be given priority. As for the standard equipment for future special forces, bulletproof vests were still being studied.
"Special forces? What a fresh and bold idea!" Canaris muttered to himself.
