When the soldiers participated in the war, Liu Xiaobin, deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, came to the intelligence center in the Republic.

Because the scale of the operation is too large, the General Staff had to hand over some information warfare tasks to the Military Intelligence Bureau. In any case, the Military Intelligence Bureau is functionally affiliated with the General Staff and a military intelligence unit. When the General Staff decided to establish an electronic information warfare unit, Liu Xiaobin raised an objection, believing that electronic information warfare is closely related to intelligence and that corresponding institutions should be established within the scope of the Military Intelligence Bureau's authority. However, Li Cunxun did not support his partner, but negotiated with Xiang Yinghui to form a joint command organization between the Information Warfare unit and the Military Intelligence Bureau, try to give full play to the combat capabilities of the Intelligence and Information Warfare unit and maximize the use of military resources.

At first, Liu Xiaobin was a little puzzled.

If the General Staff establishes a direct electronic information warfare unit, the Military Intelligence Bureau will face an embarrassing situation of being useless. It was not until the establishment of the Electronic Information Warfare Unit that Liu Xiaobin realized that Li Cunxun adopted a strategy of retreating to advancing. According to the suggestion of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Electronic Information Warfare Unit is only responsible for military information work, and the intelligence information work is still under the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Bureau. On this basis, the role of the Military Intelligence Bureau has not only not been weakened, but has been strengthened. In 2025, the Military Intelligence Bureau received a fund of 2.5 billion yuan and established an intelligence information center in the northwest region.

Because intelligence itself is information, the intelligence information center is also called the "intelligence center".

In order to avoid conflicts with the Information Analysis Center of the Military Bureau Headquarters and to engage in duplicate construction of wasted money, the main task of the Northwest Intelligence Center is not to analyze intelligence, but to carry out information network warfare.

Since the beginning of construction, Liu Xiaobin has been the general manager of Bian.

Although Li Cunxun was good at technical work, he asked his partner to be fully responsible for his work, but Liu Xiaobin knew that Li Cunxun did not have technical ability, but wanted his partner to get more opportunities in important work.

"Old Liu, it's good that you're here.

”

"How is the situation?" Liu Xiaobin stopped in front of Cao Xuehua.

This retired naval officer is not a skilled local expert, but a construction local agent. At that time, Cao Xuehua formed the South American intelligence branch of the Republic without any basic ground. His ability was fully confirmed. After returning to China, Cao Xuehua has been working under Liu Xiaobin. He is mainly responsible for various construction work in the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"It has been deployed properly but those 'civilians' do not cooperate."

"Why don't you cooperate?" Liu Xiaobin frowned and walked towards the information center.

"It's said that our equipment is too backward." Cao Xuehua smiled bitterly and said, "It should be because they are looking for excuses. Maybe they think the conditions here are too simple."

"Mom. A bunch of guys who eat free lunch are qualified to dislike this and that?"

"We can't say that. Our construction work has not been completed yet, and many supporting facilities have not been in place..."

"I'll go and have a look and call Ai Yu."

"It's better to go to my office first, I'll find someone." Cao Xuehua accelerated his pace and rushed to the front.

After looking outside the gate of the information center for a while, Liu Xiaobin went to Cao Xuehua's office.

The problems at the Intelligence Center just reflect the problems of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

No matter how advanced the equipment is, if there is no suitable operator, it will become a decoration.

When establishing the intelligence center, Liu Xiaobin planned to select technicians from the intelligence analysis department of the Military Intelligence Bureau. After some assessment, he found that most intelligence analysts are proficient in intelligence analysis and do not understand information cyber warfare. If the military intelligence bureau practices, technicians will be recruited from fresh graduates or sign employment contracts with current college students through commissioned training. According to this method, at least enough talents are needed to provide the intelligence center. The reality determines that this method does not work, because the intelligence center must be put into use before June 2027.

Without a choice, Liu Xiaobin could only find a way to "civilians".

Utilizing civilian forces is also a tradition of the Military Intelligence Bureau. If necessary, the Military Intelligence Bureau Director can submit an application to the Head of State to recruit any citizen of the Republic. However, most of the time, "civilians" only participate in peripheral intelligence work and do not participate in core intelligence work.

To this end, Liu Xiaobin specially set up a "assessment" method, which not only gives private people listed on the recruitment list a probation period.

The result made Liu Xiaobin more satisfied. "Red Guests" like Ai Yu are genuine Internet experts, and they all have "nationalist sentiments". Although as real intelligence personnel, they must not be controlled by nationalism, in some special circumstances, "nationalism" can play a key role, such as making intelligence personnel more loyal.

Letting Ai Yu and other "red guests" attack Japan's communication network was the last test given to them by Liu Xiaobin.

Strictly speaking, the difficulty of this test is not very high. Unlike other countries, Japan attaches great importance to wireless communication networks, but does not attach much importance to the construction of the Internet. Its civil information network is not developed. For example, in 2020, the Republic officially launched the "National Information Network Expansion Construction Project", increasing the capacity of civil information network by 1 on the basis of 2015, and comprehensively carrying out the construction of wireless communication networks; Japan's civil information network during the same period was only equivalent to the level of the Republic in 2010, and there was no

Yida's information consulting needs are carried out accordingly.

In the words of hackers from all over the world, Japan's information construction is still in the Stone Age.

It is not very difficult to attack Japan's communication network. Since 2010, the Republic's "Red Guest" has fought with Japanese hackers many times, and each ended with a Japanese hacker defeat. Although Japan also formed an information network force in 2022, specifically responsible for strengthening domestic network security, the effect is not ideal and its actual combat capabilities are not strong.

After completing the last test, Liu Xiaobin asked field agents to bring hundreds of "red guests" including Ai Yu to the intelligence center.

No matter when, intelligence is a key factor in defeating the enemy in war.

In modern warfare, information warfare, which is a component of the report, is an important factor in determining the victory or defeat of a war.

After making two cups of tea, Liu Xiaobin gave out a cigarette.

Soon, Cao Xue brought Ai Yu to the office.

Although the two met many times on the virtual network, this was the first time in several years that Ai Yu met the real Liu Xiaobin.

"Why, don't you know me?"

Ai Yu stopped looking at Liu Xiao and showed a shy smile, saying, "Are you Liu Xiaobin?"

"Is there a second Liu Xiaobin?" Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "Of course, there are more people in the world who call Liu Xiaobin, but I can guarantee that the one sitting in front of you is the Liu Xiaobin you know."

"Okay, believe it." Ai Yu looked around, "Why are we locked up here?"

"Detained?" Liu Xiaobin smiled faintly and said, "Do you think this is a prison? To be honest, this is an intelligence center just established by the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Ai Yu's brows jumped a few times, without showing a look of surprise.

"According to the agreement, we will protect your personal safety." Liu Xiaobin picked up the cigarette on the table, "Do you smoke?"

Ai Yu nodded and caught the cigarette handed over by Liu Xiaobin.

After lit the cigarette, Liu Xiaobin said: "Maybe you don't know that in a few hours, the head of state will declare war on Japan."

"Declare war?" Ai Yu's hand holding the lighter trembled, "You mean, we started a war?"

"You? Don't overestimate yourself." Liu Xiaobin smiled and shook his head. "The war was not caused by you, but attacking the Japanese information network was the first military operation to be launched. No matter how you think the battle has broken out, our first batch of troops have landed on Taiwan and captured hundreds of Japanese troops. As citizens of the Republic, you have an obligation to defend the country's own motherland to fight. Although you are not soldiers, you can play a very critical role in the war. I don't want to force you to participate in the war. You can think carefully."

"Our actions are important?" Ai Yu was indeed thinking.

Liu Xiaobin nodded and said, "It's very important, and it can even be said to be very critical. You must want to know what happened. I can tell you, but it's only for discussion in this room. I don't want more people to know."

Ai Yu nodded immediately, indicating that he understood what Liu Xiaobin meant.

"When I arrived, the heavenly soldiers attacked Japan's military satellite network. The battle was still going on. Before dawn, the heavenly soldiers will destroy most of Japan's military satellites." Liu Xiaobin took two puffs of cigarettes and said, "The main purpose of attacking Japan's military satellite network is to paralyze Japan's information warfare capabilities, cut off Japan's military command system, and turn the Japanese army into blind, deaf, mute and blind. However, just destroying the military satellite network is not enough to achieve its goal. In the first few hours of the war, it is necessary to ensure that Japan's command organization cannot operate normally, and Japan's senior leaders cannot grasp what is happening on the front line and cannot make accurate decisions. Therefore, you need to play an important role, paralyze Japan's communication infrastructure, and attack Japan's military communication network. This is also the main reason for bringing you to the intelligence center."

"How much time is left?" Ai Yu seemed to have made a decision.

"It's less than an hour and a half before dawn." Liu Xiaobin looked at his watch, "As your direct manager, I believe in your abilities, and I have also made a guarantee to the above, hoping that you will not disappoint me."

"Enough, I'll organize the staff right away.

”

Liu Xiaobin nodded and asked Cao Xuehua to send Ai Yu away.

Soon, Cao Xuehua returned to the office. "Those young people have started working, have good efficiency, have successfully entered the Japanese Communication Center and are preparing to launch an attack."

"I just said that they are the best information network experts in China."

"only……"

"You think they are unreliable?"

Cao Xuehua smiled faintly. Although he didn't say it clearly, that's what he meant.

"Don't worry, as long as they still love their motherland, we will not be disappointed." Liu Xiaobin stood up, walked to the window, and said, "Ai Yu is the leader of the "Red Guest" in China. Let him be responsible for technical work. You are responsible for logistics support, so don't ask about anything else."

"Okay, there's a lot of trouble."

Liu Xiaobin smiled and stopped talking to Cao Xuehua again. (To be continued,)
