It is not assured that the King and the Cabinet are just asking the Admiralty to investigate and correct it themselves. After all, the Admiralty is not a professional person, and judging by the infiltration of the Admiralty, it would be better to expect Napoleon to suddenly get gastric cancer.

The reason why the British felt that the Admiralty was infiltrated was because it was so difficult for the spy to steal these technical information.

First of all, although mine technology is so simple to Joseph's opinion, it is not worth mentioning. There is no problem with drawings a day and samples a month. But in the eyes of other people in that era, it is really a high-tech thing. There are also a lot of drawings and materials related to this thing. It is not that easy for a spy to steal all these things.

In this era, there were no special cameras for spies and microfilm. Therefore, to steal information, it is not necessary to open the file bag, extract the information, and then click it. The spy either takes out the paper and pen and copy it along the side (in this era, even a typewriter has not yet been invented.) Or he had to rely on his amazing memory to remember all these things, and then memorize them with memory after going back. However, even if the spy has the ability to remember everything, it would take a lot of time to read these contents.

Such things cannot be done by one person, they must be the result of a group of people working together. So...

"Secretary William is really optimistic. He actually said 'A French spy was found in the Admiralty.' Judging from the situation of this case, how could there be only one spy in the Admiralty? Prime Minister, if you tell me that the situation is fine, then I'm sure there is definitely a bunch of spies there!" Deputy Director Aisinger Stanton of the London Police Department stood up and said to Prime Minister Addington who was sitting in front of him.

Prime Minister Addington nodded and said, "Mr. Stanton, please sit down. You know, the seriousness of this case. His Majesty the King already knows about this matter. His Majesty is very angry and the consequences are very serious. We must now dig out all the spies or those nests. In addition, we, me, and many cabinet ministers, we all believe that the police department is not really suitable for dealing with such matters related to spies and military secrets. Our country needs a special agency to handle such matters."

Deputy Director Stanton's eyes suddenly glowed.

"This institution is hung under the Army's sign, called the Sixth Investigation Section, to cover up the people's eyes. But it is directly responsible to the House of Reich and the Prime Minister, with great power to conduct undisclosed investigations of members of the House of Representatives and any senior government officials, as well as very high administrative levels, salary and pensions. You know, such an institution needs a person who truly understands the profession, not those who know nothing but official accents, who do not know anything else... to hold the position of executive management. Yes, it is just the position of executive management. The position will be held by a person related to the royal family, but he will not be responsible for the specific matters. You understand this? If you performed well in this investigation, I personally and some of my friends tend to hold this position. Do you understand what I mean?"

Deputy Director Stanton certainly understood what this means. The power of this new organization is so important and the power is so great, of course it is not his turn to be an old detective who has been promoted entirely by his personal ability and is a civilian. In fact, being able to become a deputy in such an organization is already a good thing. What's more, it is a deputy in "official management". For him, there is only one official who actually only takes money and does not care about things. This is really...

Of course, Stanton understood that this was not the most important thing the Prime Minister said. The most important thing the Prime Minister said was "I personally, and some of my friends, tend to be yours for this position", rather than "motherland" or other similar words that require "your service".

The most superficial meaning of this sentence seems to be that he has other competitors, so he must work harder in this matter; but this sentence actually has a deeper meaning, that is: "You have to stand on our side."

Although the Admiralty leak scandal did not appear in any newspaper, the French would naturally not mention this matter in order to protect their spies (in fact, the French did not expect that there were spies and leak scandals). As for several British newspapers, the tabloids had no way to get such news. The newspapers with background also understood that the matter seemed not to be revealed now. Everyone just stared wide and waited.

But it is almost impossible to keep this kind of thing completely confidential. Especially in an era when the confidentiality system of this system has not yet been formed. This is even more true for those big men with status. Whether it is the Tories or the Whigs, they basically know this.

Everyone knows the severity of this matter, but everyone knows that this is a rare and good opportunity to attack your opponent. Just use some technical means to implicate some annoying guys in the investigation, and he can lose all his life in politics.

Everyone hopes to seize this opportunity and involve some annoying guys that they don’t deal with; everyone is also alert to avoid being shamelessly slandered and framed by some sinister bad things.

Prime Minister Addington took advantage of his own chance to establish such an institution. The main purpose of this is of course to cut off the secrets of French spies to the UK's state secrets; but it is also a good thing to be able to get rid of the trash that harmed England with the help of the trash.

Therefore, Deputy Director Stanton understood that what the Prime Minister said about "excellent performance" does not just mean that he can quickly capture "spy" this is just a basic requirement, and it is still far from "excellent". To achieve "excellent" achievements, he must be able to easily involve some people who the Prime Minister needs to be involved.

Of course, there are high risks in doing such things. Those people are not harmless little white rabbits. They have their own strength and they will not sit still and wait for death. If the Prime Minister is unlucky in the struggle, he will be unlucky.

But as the saying goes, "wealth and honor are in danger", take a try, and two carriages turn into four wheels. It is still worth taking risks for this.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I understand. I am willing to serve you. Once there is any progress, I will report to you immediately." Deputy Director Stanton, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again.

"What do you need?"

"Prime Minister, I need your authorization to immediately take away all the personnel of the "Mine Research Group" and relevant service personnel to assist in the investigation. I also need a slightly remote place for thorough investigation of relevant personnel..."

Stanton's various requests were basically met, so he told the Prime Minister that he must act immediately without delay, so that he would not be snatched away by others.

"Very good, since that's the case, I won't keep you anymore. If you have any more needs, you can ask my secretary Hilbert, and you can tell him what help you need. If you can't even make up your mind and you think it's very important, then twenty-four hours a day, you can come to me at any time. Now, go to work."

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Deputy Director Stanton saluted Prime Minister Addington, then turned around and went out.

In the view of Deputy Director Stanton, this case is actually not difficult to solve. First of all, there are quite limited people who have the opportunity to access relevant information. This greatly narrows the scope of investigation, and then investigates their actions during this period one by one to see if they have independent time to commit crimes, and see who they have contact with. If they continue to investigate slowly, as long as the work is done carefully, you will not worry about not being able to find out the problem.

As for achieving "excellent" achievements, it depends on the interrogation skills. Although the objects he is going to deal with this time are decent people with status, and some methods may not be useful. However, Deputy Director Stanton feels that as long as he is more skillful in language when asking questions, he can let the prisoner say what he needs to say. Of course, if he really meets a guy who is unaware of his appearance and refuses to be "decent", Stanton has a way to make him "decent" and feel pain without leaving any trace.

Director Stanton left the Prime Minister's office and Prime Minister's secretary Hilbert came up.

"Mr. Hilbert, we need to act immediately. Can you go with me?" Stanton said.

"Okay." Hilbert said, "where are we going now?"

"We are now going to control all the personnel related to the 'Mine Research Group'." Stanton said, "Don't let others take the lead."

As it turned out, Stanton's decision was made very timely. Just after they had just controlled all the personnel of the "Mine Research Group", sealed up the relevant information, loaded it into a carriage, and took it to a manor that the Prime Minister had just marked out for the new agency in the outskirts of London, another team of people also came to the "Mine Research Group", but they were empty.

This team of men is the "family" that Stanton was worried about before. They are the Wang family's counterintelligence investigation team that was also newly established, directly belonging to the King and Noble House.

"It's a pity that I'm a step late." said the police officer who led the team.

"Sir, what should we do now?" asked a detective.

"You go and look for them, see if you can find them, see where they have taken the people." The police officer in charge said, "Others will immediately control their families. Move quickly, and we must not be behind them again this time!"
