Chapter 1062 Intelligence and News
"Leave?" Huan Yin looked at He Laowu again, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "Let me ask you, do you think your life is more valuable, or that Earth Immortal?"
He Laowu was stunned and said: "Then...of course the younger generation's life is...more valuable."
Smiling, Huan Yin continued to ask: "Then do you think the lives of my friend and I are more valuable, or the Earth Immortal?"
He Laowu didn't know what Huan Yin was going to say, but he had the answer to this question without thinking: "Of course the lives of the two adults are more valuable, and the lives of the two adults can be worth the humble lives of the juniors. There are tens of millions of them, which is totally incomparable with that Earth Immortal.”
Nodding, Huan Yin said: "That's right. Just now you wanted both of our lives and all our belongings. Now, you want your own life from me. This adds up to , a total of three lives. However, you did not let me get the Earth Immortal, you just gave me the news about the Earth Immortal. Do you think this transaction is fair? "
He Laowu opened his mouth wide, but was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Huan Yin to be so eloquent. Huan Yin made it clear that he didn't want He Laowu to leave.
After being depressed for a long time, He Laowu finally asked: "What else does the senior want to know? This junior is willing to use that information in exchange for his own life."
Touching his chin, Huan Yin said: "Tell me, tell me about yourself, tell me about the eight days in the west, tell me about the news. I want to know a lot, but you promised me before Yes, you have to give me some basic information for free.”
He Laowu sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Then... let me, this junior, start from here."
"Junior He Laowu was originally an orphan in the eight days of the West. Since he had no parents and family, he grew up on his own. Therefore, this junior has been a gangster since he was a child and has never lived a decent life. Most of the things that I can come into contact with are the things in the corners, and I have seen and encountered a lot of dirty things. "
"The Eight Heavens of the West is a big world where interests are paramount. Here, if you have fairy jade, you can have everything. You can even break into the army and control the officers and soldiers. But if there is no fairy jade here, you will be at the mercy of others, and you will not be able to live. Not as good as a pig or a dog.”
"The junior has no background since he was a child, and no one supports him. In order to survive, he has done anything. Especially those secret activities. Although they are not visible to the public, for people like the junior, the money comes faster and more easily. Easy. Therefore, even if the risks are higher, the younger generation is gradually attracted by those activities and eventually goes astray. "
"This junior has been alive for more than 300 years. Because most of his activities are black activities, he has experienced a lot of life and death dangers. But maybe he is lucky. Before he meets his senior, he can always turn danger into good luck. , and ultimately achieved considerable benefits.”
"The junior has done almost everything, such as robbing, plundering, selling people to be slaves, etc. In short, as long as it is something that can be done in vain, the junior will do it. Moreover, the junior is still doing these things today. ”
"As for the news industry, in fact, I didn't want to do it in the beginning. After all, this industry was not something that ordinary people like me could touch in the beginning."
"The Eight-Day Information Acquisition in the West was initially a military behavior organized by the Generalissimo, in order to obtain the intelligence needed by the army. In order to obtain intelligence, a special organization was established in the army called the Intelligence Division. All members of the Intelligence Division The commander-in-chief has always been an extremely mysterious and capable officer."
"The Generalissimo has given the Intelligence Department a very high status. The Intelligence Department does not need to be controlled by any general and is directly subordinate to the Generalissimo."
"In the beginning, the Intelligence Department did play a great supporting role in the development of the Western Eight-Day Army. I heard, this junior, that during a certain period, the Western Eight-Day Army was praised as the strongest by the previous emperor. . In fact, even the emperor doesn’t know that such strength is completely related to the existence of the Intelligence Department.”
When He Laowu's words reached this point, Huan Yin's memories were immediately brought back. He Laowu was right. The Western Eight-Day Army was once considered the strongest by him, but he did not expect that it turned out that the Generalissimo at the time was well-commanded and established the Intelligence Department.
He Laowu did not notice Huan Yin's memories, and he continued: "But later, it was also because of the Intelligence Department that a big event happened in the Eighth Day in the West. The current emperor did not know what means he used to bribe the Intelligence Department and let him The Intelligence Department betrayed the original Generalissimo, and as a result, a large amount of important military information about the Eight Heavens of the West was leaked to the hands of the current emperor."
"The current emperor sent the current generalissimo to lead an army to attack the Western Eight Heavens. He easily broke through the city and finally completely occupied it. It is said that at that time, the current emperor sent troops to attack all the major heavens in the four directions. The Western Eight Heavens was the fastest and easiest to capture. ”
Huan Yin had already been poisoned and died before the war started, so he didn't know whether what He Laowu said was true or false. However, one thing Thaksin believes is that the intelligence service is like a double-edged sword. If done well, it will be of great benefit to the development of the army. But once betrayed, all military information would be leaked, which would cause a devastating blow to the army itself.
"Actually, the people have only known about the existence of the Intelligence Department since the war. The thoughtful people in the Eight Heavens of the West don't care who the emperor is. What they care about is how to obtain more and greater benefits. Obtain countless immortal jade."
"So, the Intelligence Department reminded many businessmen of the importance of intelligence and the value of intelligence, which was no less than rare treasures."
"From then on, the first batch of businessmen began to build their own intelligence networks and sell intelligence to gain profits. However, because the word "intelligence" is a military term and is too sensitive, civilian intelligence merchants replaced "intelligence" with "news."
"According to the original management method of the Western Eight Days, intelligence must belong only to the military and cannot be circulated among the people. After all, this kind of thing is too sensitive, especially important intelligence. Once it is spread by the civilians, If you want to obtain it, the risk is too great. "
"However, since the throne of the Emperor of Heaven changed hands, the Eight Heavens of the West has been in turmoil for decades. During those decades, the army itself was not yet perfect, and it was too difficult to manage some things in the civilian world. Therefore, the first batch of intelligence merchants in the Eight Heavens of the West took advantage of that period to develop and expand their own news industry, and attracted many businessmen to follow suit. "
"In the end, when the military had time to look back and manage the news transactions among the people, they found that they could no longer manage it. The news transactions among the people have become popular, and there are many places for buying and selling news in various major markets, involving the interests of too many people. There are even many, directly the family members of the officers themselves If the army wants to control the information market, it will face many obstacles. "
"So, the trading and acquisition of information was preserved in the private sector of the Eight Days in the West, and became an indispensable part of the interest chain of the Eight Days in the West. However, the army must have some control over the trading of information among the private sector. If nothing unexpected happens, it is difficult for key military intelligence to flow into the private sector. "
"I came into contact with the news industry not long after the news industry flowed into the private sector. Although I am of low status, I have seen many shady things in the Eight Days in the West for many years, so I came into contact with the news industry relatively early. "
"After I came into contact with this industry, I gradually found that I found that I could get some information from the daily exchanges, and sometimes I could even get good information. So, I started to trade in information from that time on. "
"I found that the information business was very suitable for me and it made money quickly. So, I worked hard and gradually became a real networker, able to discover a lot of information on my own, especially underworld information. Moreover, I also established my own organization, called... called 'Laowu Information Center'. Now, including me, there are a total of 20 people, who are responsible for finding out and discovering various information, and then selling it. "
He Laowu finally stopped talking here. This time, in order to survive, he told Huanyin everything he could think of in one go, without any reservation. Until now, he finally finished speaking, and his mouth was a little dry.
He looked at Huanyin eagerly for a while, and saw that Huanyin was in deep thought, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied. Therefore, He Laowu asked cautiously: "Senior, I have said everything I want to say. Senior, look at these...are they enough to save my life?"
