It is not unreasonable that Bean is an agent from MI7. Perhaps he is like Captain America, an image of wartime propaganda.
[007] James Bond of the series is from MI6, and Adam Carter and others in the British drama MI5 are from MI5.
And Johnny Inglis, played by Rowan Atkinson in [Agent 3] , is from MI7 .
Before him, no special agent had burnt up high-end restaurants.
There is no special agent firing missiles at a group of cyclists.
No special agent attacked innocent citizens with books and baguettes, and threw the tour guide off the bus on the sightseeing bus.
The female prime minister said, "What's wrong with you?"
Regardless of physical strength or intelligence, he is still the hilarious Mr. Bean, rather than the cold and witty agent of 007.
In the past film and television works, professional agents from MI5 and VI are too omnipotent , so this fool from MI7 may make people feel nonsense.
But in fact, the two departments do not represent the entire British espionage system. There is a specialization in the technical industry, and not all agents need to perform dangerous tasks.
Especially in this seemingly non-existent MI7, there are secret agents who can't be agents like Beans.
Knowing oneself and one another, the history of spy agents can be traced back to China and India in the 4th and 5th centuries BC.
But for modern Europe, it began in Elizabethan England.
After Henry VIII's death, a European-style Zhenhuan biography was staged between his two daughters, and spy operations such as inserting eyeliners, intercepting letters, and spreading rumors began quietly.
And the more the war, the more rapid the development and expansion of espionage activities.
During the American War of Independence, the British intelligence system was still weak. Under the suppression of George Washington , the "America's No. 1 Spy Master" , it retreated.
During the Napoleonic Wars from 1793 to 1815, Britain strengthened the construction of a spy network. In 1794, William Wickham was appointed as the head of the overseas spy system to contend with Napoleon's eyeliner.
In the late 19th century, the British Empire built an intelligence surveillance system to prevent the threat posed by Russia in the Indian colonies, and the embryonic form of a modern spy agency began to emerge.
So in 1909, when the First World War had not broken out but Germany had begun to be restless, Britain formally established the Secret Service and appointed William Melville as its director.
This is the first independent agency that specializes in monitoring all government espionage activities.
During the First World War in 1916, the Secret Service established a Military Intelligence Division based on the battle situation, and gradually increased the number of military intelligence agencies to 19 in accordance with the needs of the war.
Alan Stripp, a cryptographer at the University of Cambridge, has done a lot of research on this. In his book "The Code Breaker of the Far East ", there is a list of British spy operations (Military Intelligence) during World War II (MI).
From MI1 to MI19, they were established in different periods and have their own functions:
MI1 break translated Password M L2 bear responsibility for Russia and Scandinavia (European Zhou northwest corner) Ml 3 is responsible for Dong Ou intelligence Ml 4 aerial reconnaissance observation map information Ml5 domestic intelligence ( now the British Security Intelligence Service) Ml6 country outside intelligence ( now this British secret secret intelligence agency) Ml7 propaganda and review M L8 military through news intercept M L9 secret aid to help the Nazis area with the Union Army Ml10 weapons and technology cytometry analysis of M L11 battlefield intelligence report Mil 2 military trial investigation Mil 3 and Mil 4 German intelligence Ml15 aerial reconnaissance photograph shadow Ml1 6 Science Information Ml17 Secretariat M L18 Leng World War monitoring control scientists Ml19 interrogate foreign Zhan Fu and M lL, MLR and MlX three departments
Spy agencies have always been appendages of the current situation and wars. After the victory of World War II, most of them were either removed or merged into Intelligence Division 5, Division 6, or other national departments.
MI7 is the latter. It was transferred to the Ministry of Information during the Second World War in 1940.
From this point of view, from MI1 to MI19, with Doudou's IQ and EQ, he may only be competent in MI7.
During the First World War in 1915, the British Military Office established a small department to monitor frontline reporters and prevent the spread of news that was not conducive to the war. This was the predecessor of MI7.
In 1916, with the development of the battle situation and the emergence of the Secret Service MI1, MI7 was formally established, with four tasks a, b, c, and d:
MI7a censorship system MI7b foreign and domestic publicity, including translation of press releases on military affairs MI7c translation, supervision of foreign tourists (1917) MI7d foreign media publicity and censorship ( part of b before its establishment at the end of 1916)
But for a long time, the existence of MI7 has always been a mystery, except for its number and function, people know very little about it.
It was not until 2012 that an Englishman named Jeremy Arter found a green paper on MI7 b and 150 manuscripts while cleaning up the debris at his aunt's house.
These historical documents were kept secretly by his uncle, Colonel James Lloyd , when the organization was disbanded in 1918, in violation of regulations.
In the early days of World War I, Colonel Lloyd served in the Welch Army in England. On July 7, 1916, he was injured in the Battle of the Somme and returned to the back to recuperate.
A year later, he was recruited into the Seventh Army, and was mainly responsible for writing some personal heroism deeds and stories in the frontline trenches for wartime propaganda work.
Together with him at the time was the author of Winnie the Pooh , AA Milne .
Milne served in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in World War I. Like Colonel Lloyd, he was injured in the Battle of the Somme and was recruited into the Intelligence Division to write propaganda articles and work with them.
The green paper that Colonel Lloyd secretly left behind is a collection of poems by Milne and his colleagues.
One of the poems in Shakespeare style wrote (the translation is not good, the original text is attached):
In MI7b who loves to lie with me About atrocities And Hun Corpse Factories Come hither, come hither, come hither Here shall we see No enemy But sit all day and blather.
This poem expresses Milne’s complaints about the work of MI7.
As a national agent, he had to violate his morals and write articles that were inconsistent with the facts and slandered the enemy.
There are more than 20 other writers who made up the lies with him.
They are struggling with conscience's condemnation, but they don't know whether their pen and ink can really play a role in the tense battle.
After the end of World War I in 1918, the work of MI7b was also terminated, and all relevant documents were ordered to be destroyed.
It happened that Colonel James Lloyd didn't listen, and secretly left this part.
After Milne left London to settle in Chelsea, no one, including his family and friends, knew that he was an agent.
After all, under the influence of literature and film and television works, we always have misunderstandings about real agents.
At the same time, I really couldn't think of what kind of reconnaissance a group of guys who are locked in the office all day long can play.
From this point of view, it is not unreasonable that Doudou is an agent from MI7. Perhaps he, like Captain America, is an image of wartime propaganda.
The main task is to laugh at the frontline officers and soldiers and ease their fear in wartime!
Anyway, I don't want to say that this sand sculpture is not suitable for MI5 and MI6, so the screenwriter wants MI7 to tell the truth.
