Chapter 135 The Special Department is changed to the Investigation Department

After a lunch break after dinner, Li Junhao asked Yuri, who served as temporary secretary, to call Deputy Director Weber to discuss personnel issues with him.

According to the original configuration, the top management of the police force has a director, a deputy director, four assistant directors in charge of the director's office, general affairs office, inspection office, special department, and 14 central arrest bureaus and sub-arrest bureaus. Sheriff.

Now Li Junhao and Weber are appointed as chief and deputy division chief respectively. The division chief's office has arranged for Brown to take charge. As for the three arrest houses in Hongkou, Huishan and Jiaxing Road, they have all been withdrawn from the North District, and the personnel have been dispersed to each arrest house. There is no need to arrange for a police sergeant for the time being.As a result, there is still a lack of supervisors from the five major departments of the General Affairs Office, the Inspection Office, the Special Department, the Laozha Capture Office, and the Xinzha Capture Office.

Weber proposed that the two arrest houses be promoted to the former American deputy sheriffs. After Li Junhao nodded and approved, he decided that he would personally be in charge of the Special Division, Weber would also be in charge of the General Affairs Division, and the Assistant Director in charge of the Legal Division, Ovie Law, would Ste is also in charge of the Audit Department, but of course this is only a temporary measure.

Li Junhao's intention is very clear, to re-employ American and Chinese patrol officers and suppress British and Indian patrol officers. Unless they are completely obedient, their dismissal will be waiting for them.

He also told Weber that he had been checking the current patrol regulations in the past two days and would make appropriate changes to some of the provisions. At that time, all patrol officers would be required to study and implement them carefully.

Weber was very excited to go out to deliver the order. The General Affairs Department was a first-class job that had been controlled by the British before. Now the new boss has given him the responsibility. He was excited and grateful, and his loyalty increased directly. Thirty o'clock.

Li Junhao saw on his detection panel that Weber's light spot was already dark green. If he worked harder, he might soon become a teammate! ——
The Special Department office area located on the east side of the fifth floor of the North Building occupies half a floor. The principal and deputy ministers have separate offices, as well as the archives unit, service unit, detective unit, and arrest unit. The latter two operational departments are all large-open offices; There are only 5 people in the archives unit and 10 people in the service unit. These two are internal support departments; the detective unit is responsible for investigation, with a total of 15 people including the unit chief, detective, and detectives. However, each has hundreds of informants in the concession; the arrest unit Responsible for operations, there are three action groups with a staff of 65 people.

Now, the director of the Special Department and the Chief of the Detective Section have been detained for review, so when Li Junhao came to the office area of ​​the Special Department, there were only the American Deputy Minister and Chief of the Detective Section, the Belgian Chief of the Archives Section, and the Dutch Service Section The chief led everyone to greet him, and everyone gathered in the large office of the arrest unit.

At this time, although all the weapons of the Special Department personnel had been returned to the equipment room as ordered, the Marines still arrived first. After another inspection, they were commanded by Corporal Jacky to set up defenses in the office area.

Li Junhao, who was dressed in military uniform, sat behind a desk at the top. He looked around at the people of the Special Department who were sitting neatly in a row, and said: "From now on, I will personally be responsible for the rectification work of the Special Department. Regardless of the previous situation of this department, Whatever your work goals and methods are, stop now and follow my rules! Do you understand?"

"Yes, Sir!" everyone responded in unison.

"Very good." Li Junhao said, "First of all, the Special Department will be reorganized into the Investigation Department from now on, with internal affairs, intelligence, and operations departments set up. All personnel will be re-examined before taking up their posts, and the scale will be expanded; secondly, the Investigation Department The goal of future work is to inventory all non-our forces within the concession, and warn, expel, arrest, and punish hostile forces and personnel that infringe on our interests..."

Everyone below looked at each other, and the American deputy minister asked on behalf of everyone: "Sir, will our department no longer be responsible for detecting underground parties and anti-Japanese forces?" "I just said, the target is all non-our forces!" Li Junhao said, "Our forces refer to the Consulate General of the United States and the United Kingdom and the Concession Industry Bureau. The Investigation Department must understand the situation of other forces in the concession and determine which attitude to adopt based on whether they infringe on our interests. They have no influence on us. If it is harmful to us, we will only record and observe it; if it is harmful to us, we will deal with it at the corresponding level depending on the degree of harm."

Everyone understood as soon as they heard this. This was a major adjustment in the policy of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Although it was not stated explicitly, combined with the previous deportation of all Japanese prisoners, it meant that the political attitudes of the United States and Britain were turning sharply to the left. At the very least, It is a complete turn in relations with Japan!

After announcing the adjustment target, Li Junhao stood up and left. He held a small meeting with the deputy minister and three section chiefs in the minister's office, and informed the four people of the self-examination standards for personnel. One was that they had not colluded with Japanese forces, and the other was that they were Whether you have other identities, such as other intelligence personnel, gang disciples, etc., you must truthfully declare and sign a commitment letter. If there is any false declaration or concealment, you will bear the corresponding responsibility.

After hearing this, the four of them were all shocked. According to this standard, many people might not be able to pass the review. However, seeing the firm look on the new boss's face, they knew that the matter was settled, and whoever failed would leave. , well, I can only obey.

However, the chief of the arrest unit gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, I led the team to arrest many anti-Japanese people in accordance with the order and handed them over to the Japanese side. For this reason, I also took in many Japanese people. money..."

After Li Junhao took a deep look at him, he said: "You were the one performing your job before, but now you can tell the truth and do a good job! The past has passed, and we are now our own people. I ask you to do your best in the future." Can you complete the new target work?"

"Yes, sir." The arresting unit chief stood up excitedly after hearing this and said with determination, "Please take a look at my future performance!"

"Well, I'm optimistic about you." Li Junhao said, "Very good, I'll give you three months to act as Operations Section Chief to see your performance!"

"Yes, sir!" the arrest section chief...oh, now the acting operations section chief said with some interest.

With someone taking the lead, the other three also confessed some of their past affairs and expressed their attitude of submission. Of course, Li Junhao accepted this. After some encouragement, he joked: It is not wrong to accept Japanese money. Just don’t do anything for the Japanese!Making everyone laugh.

When leaving, Li Junhao took away the information on political prisoners that were still in the concession prisons and detention centers. He was going to study it. At this time, according to his order, the police station stopped all cooperation with the Japanese and puppet parties, especially all All interrogations and transfers of political prisoners have been suspended pending re-verification by the Investigation Department and the Department of Justice.
