Although the headquarters of the Harbin secret service is in charge of all intelligence agencies (branches, stations) in Manchuria except for the Fengtian secret service. However, in the major item of anti-espionage, there is only subordination, that is, intelligence sharing or intelligence collection cooperation.
Cheng Yu plays Gao Bin, the chief of the secret service section
The Manchurian region is responsible for anti-espionage and counter-espionage is the Kwantung Army Gendarmerie Command. Among them, the special high school and the 86th unit (radio interception) are the main ones. The implementation of the operation was mostly carried out by the Secret Service Section of the puppet Manchu police system under the command or coordination of the Japanese officers. This is better reflected in the TV series "Cliff" and "Razor's Edge". The position of Chief of the Secret Service Section is particularly important, almost independent of each Police Agency. Of course, the same two actors, the predecessor is the predecessor. Cheng Yu's acting skills are far better than Luan Yuanhui's sharp edge. But this is a good young actor, and the cold and persistent performance he shows can make people see that it is not the kind of general and watery vacuousness, and it has indeed made a lot of effort, and it is not pretentious. Again, the screenwriter's design, the director's requirements deviate.
Bai Lengchen, the chief of the secret service section played by Luan Yuanhui
Around 1937, in order to strengthen the anti-espionage and counter-espionage, and for the sake of the apparent independence of the so-called 'Manchukuo', under the suggestion of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army Command, the puppet Manchukuo government formally established the Security Bureau, which was parallel to the police department of the ministry of public security.
In this link, "Razor's Edge" seems that the main creators lack evidence of the background of the times. In Cliffs, this line is used as a supplement throughout. I have to say that Mr. Quan Yongxian deserves to be the forefront of the study of the history of the puppet Manchu intelligence espionage war in the past years in China.

Sounds good, the art industry has a specialty, specialized in management. But in fact, how could the headquarters of the Harbin secret service give up its authority? Originally, intelligence work was intricate, and clarifying responsibility was also complicated and changeable in actual manipulation.
At that time, in order to coordinate cooperation and operations between agencies. In the puppet Manchu Central Committee, the director of the Police General Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security concurrently serves as the director of the Central Security Bureau, and in the localities, the director of the provincial police department concurrently serves as the director of the provincial security bureau. The Special Services Section of the Police Department (FPS) is responsible for external counter-espionage and anti-espionage services, while the Security Bureau is responsible for anti-espionage and counter-espionage services (i.e., screening) within the government military and government, and the Security Bureau is responsible for dispatching reconnaissance spies to the former Soviet Union and Mongolia.
The area of jurisdiction, which was previously under the responsibility of the Gendarmerie Command, is now subject to concessions for the authority of the government of the so-called puppet Manchukuo, but this is only a literal provision on paper. In fact, the gendarmerie is still doing what it was, and overstepping its authority is happening all the time.
In order to coordinate this issue and to control the nascent unit of the Security Bureau, the Kwantung Army decided to follow the original method, that is, to send personnel (with the headquarters and branches of the secret service agency in charge) directly into the Security Bureau, directly guide the work of the Security Bureau in the name of counselors, and also coordinate the relationship between the Security Bureau and the gendarmerie.

On this, I personally think that "Cliff" and "Razor's Edge" are not accountable, what? In order to completely control this puppet regime after the puppet Manchus claimed to be the "founding of the country", the deputies of all government positions were Japanese military officers assigned by the Kwantung Army, and they held actual power (the final review and decision, signed and approved by the nominal main person in charge). From the 'royal hanging' behind Puyi to the deputy directors of various units at the grass-roots level. This is a particular priority for the policing authorities responsible for policing and security. There are many places where the Japanese directly serve as the top police officer. I think the so-called Japanese general in Razor's Edge would be much more credible if he was the deputy director of the Police Agency or a counselor in the Security Bureau. But overall, "Razor's Edge" is better than "Cliff" in terms of plot contradictions and conflicts at this point.

During the puppet period, the incomplete plans for serving as the heads of the local police systems were:
Shinkyo (Changchun): Maeda Ryo
Fengtian: Mitsuya Qing, Zhao Zhongda
Harbin: Jin Ronggui, Gong Wenchao
Jilin: Kim Ming-se, Ito Eiken
Heilongjiang: Hanoi Shiro
Rehe: Yoshinobu Kobayashi, Kazutaka Yamada
The Police Department of the Puppet Manchurian Capital was originally established as the Changchun Prison Office of Changchun Datong Road
The others are:
Tatsuzaburo Akazawa (Ryue), Akiyoshi Wickuro (Binjiang), Minoru Tanaka (Mie), Hidezo Yoshimura (Majima), Shinichi Anmu (Kinshu), Soichi Okada (Andong), Tomitaro Iizuka (Kurokawa), Ryuichiro Kishitani (Tonghua), Sadao Morita (Mudane), Nobuo Harano (Dong'an), Suichi Ohbata (Hokuan), Kiichiro Muato (Siping), Naoku Kushibu (Koganto), Kayoru Tsubasabu (Kogannam), Haedae Heizo (Kogan-nishi), Keihiro Taniguchi (Konan-hoku), Toshio Soho (Higashi-Man), and so on.
Between the Security Bureau and the Gendarmerie, it is finally stipulated that the Commander of the Gendarmerie (the head of the gendarmerie of the provinces) must give advice to the Director of the Central Security Bureau (including the Counsellor) on anti-espionage and counter-espionage matters and give internal guidance as necessary. From the central to the local level, the supreme head of the gendarmerie is in a completely equal relationship with the counsellors of the Security Bureau. This is a ridiculous compromise. The contradictions and intrigues between the headquarters of the secret service and the gendarmerie are surging with so-called undercurrents. It's also a rare place where Razor's Edge beats Cliff.

The successive counsellors of the Central Security Bureau are:
Asami Nakasa
Lieutenant Colonel Chiyoki Matsumura
Lieutenant Colonel Matsuo Takebe
Lieutenant Colonel Mitsuhiko Omori
From 1944 onwards, the Security Bureau stopped sending reconnaissance spies to the former Soviet Union and Mongolia, and the counselor withdrew.
In 1945, the Security Bureau was abolished. Its work was fully resumed by the Gendarmerie.
At that time, the anti-espionage principle formulated by the Gendarmerie (Special High School) and the Security Bureau was to avoid catching clues, conduct in-depth investigations, penetrate into the opponent's interior, and exhaust the net.

The operation was mainly based on secret arrest and surprise interrogation. Rebel mutant elements. In this regard, realistically speaking, the puppet Manchuria region has made remarkable achievements. Most of the armed forces of the Anti-Coalition forces, the Kuomintang and the Communists lurking in the northeast, were destroyed. Those who survive are all those who no longer carry out activities at the end, and wait in silence.
The Headquarters of the Harbin Secret Service (Kwantung Army Intelligence Headquarters) contains:
Kondo Takeo Shosa (Nakano School graduate)
Saito Fukuchisa Shōsa (Nakano School graduate)
Captain Kodama Masaichiro (Nakano School graduate)
These three men are rare officers with good relations with the Gendarmerie, the Security Bureau, and the Police Department. In the work of counter-using spies and infiltrating opponents, he became a leader.
However, it is still because of the ambiguity in the scope of authority, that is, the headquarters of the secret service internally directs the security bureau in the name of a counselor, while the gendarmerie command has the right to advise and supervise, but administratively, the gendarmerie is clearly at the same level as the headquarters of the secret service. There is no mutual restraint, both sides still have a certain military force, and friction occurs from time to time. In order to coordinate and resolve this contradiction, the Kwantung Army Command dispatched the chief of the special high section of the gendarmerie to the headquarters and branches of the secret service agency to hold a part-time position, first, as a subordinate, to obey orders, and second, to share intelligence and act consistently faster. As a result, because it is a part-time job, the special high school itself has too much authority in the pseudo-Manchurian area and cannot be restrained at all, on the contrary, the greed for merit is even worse.
In 1939, in Harbin, Fengtian, and jiamust offices, various headquarters (branches) of the Jiamust organs, spies and radio stations that had been detected by the gendarmerie or the security bureau, suddenly disappeared in large areas because of adverse uses. After the subsequent investigation by the Kwantung Army, the two units still talked about each other's own words, and they quarreled with each other, which became a suspicious case.
In 1942, the 'Dongning Incident' occurred. That is, under the question of whether to arrest or monitor a latent element, Lieutenant Sakamoto, the leader of the Dongning Gendarmerie Detachment, and Captain Ichiro Fujishima (who is also the director of the Dongning Police Station) had a conflict, and as a result, the gendarmerie first took the Dongning Secret Service Branch to the end.
This does reveal a little shadow in Razor's Edge. Including the previous "Meritorious Service", it is mainly to use this line to expand the story narrative.
Don't forget, there is also a huge independent intelligence kingdom, Mantetsu. Although this is not a direct military unit, its size and organization are few in number, even in Asia. Many of the latents operated in Manchuria as Manchurian iron workers, which also caused contradictions between several intelligence agencies and anti-espionage units.
Nevertheless, throughout the decades of Japan's use of secret agents, secret services as a means of strategy and colonialism in northeast China, the Headquarters of the Harbin Secret Service alone has existed for twenty-six years, and its work is indeed fruitful in terms of professionalism.
Of course, filming well, promoting the mainstream is a must. It is not contrary to history.
