yeah this is wrong. it would have investigatory capability but so should all branches to be honest. the fourth branch is the bureaucracy. we already call it the fourth branch of government, and it should be explicitly stated who and what everyone reports up through and how and why the people can be dismissed and what power the executive, legislative, and judicial have over the bureaucrats (e.g., lets say the president fires the FBI director. should that be voted on in the senate? should that have a hearing in the SCOTUS?). military needs to follow chain of command up to executive

That would be a pointless change because it doesn't really address the issues. We already know who reports to who and what powers each branch has. We already know how people are appointed.

I shouldn't have called it military/intelligence though. Military should stay under executive control, but intelligence should be able to investigate any member of the judicial, executive and legislative branches. It should be empowered specifically to handle both foreign and domestic affairs. It should be balanced by requiring it's major positions to be appointed by the President and approved by Congress, with oversight by Congress. Set terms for major positions, can only be removed by Congress for impeachable offense.

fourth branch of government being the КГБ doesn't sound like the greatest plan i've ever heard, or even a good one tbh

there should not be a branch whose purpose it is is to investigate people simply because they are in a position of power. there must be reasons for that to happen, or else you get runaway investigations
