Chapter 154 Examination and the Current Situation of the Concession

Thursday, June 6nd.On this day, the Shanghai Public Concession Police Department conducted an internal examination for all members for the first time in the 22 years since its establishment in July 1854. I believe this day will be recorded in the history of Shanghai.

At 20:[-], the first examination started at the central police station and each branch police station at the same time. There were [-] examination rooms. The first batch of exams were conducted by more than [-] senior patrol officers from various departments and police stations; in each examination room, There are four invigilators, including members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, clerks at the Consulate General, militia officers from the International Business Group, and teachers hired from middle schools in the concession, to eliminate the possibility of cheating to the greatest extent possible.

A total of six rounds of written examinations were conducted throughout the day on the 22nd and in the morning of the 23rd. The collected examination papers were handed over to the consulate clerks and external middle school teachers for marking.

Starting on the afternoon of the 23rd, the other half of the patrol officers who applied for the oral examination were assessed by marine and army members, militia officers, and consulate staff. This work lasted for more than two days. The advantage was that the results could be issued on the spot.

On the afternoon of June 6, the assessment results of more than 25 police officers came out. They were similar to what Li Junhao had expected. More than two-thirds of them passed on the first try, and more than half of those who failed did not pass. It's close to passing. If you review again and take the make-up exam, you should be able to pass without any problem;
But there are more than 100 people, nearly one-sixth of the patrol officers, whose grades are very poor, only [-] or [-] points; the most annoying thing is that nearly [-] people handed in blank papers or failed to answer a single question correctly in the oral examination - —This group of people are mainly British patrol officers and high-level Chinese arresters with Youth Gang background!
Seeing this result, Li Junhao laughed angrily, and immediately issued an order to dismiss all these 90 people, and impose an administrative penalty of 30 days of detention for defying the "Police Order". He also sent navy and land forces to escort these people to Jiaozhou Road. They served in the Italian military camps - these 700 Italian troops were unwilling to participate in the reform of the concession, but they had no psychological barriers to the British; as for their Youth Gang background, it was even more useless to them!These more than 90 people suffered a lot in one month!
As for the remaining patrol officers who failed, they were mainly Yin arresters and tin arresters, with a small number of Chinese arresters.

Li Junhao asked the division chief's office to issue notices to all departments and arrest bureaus, giving those who failed the exam another week to take a make-up exam at the end of the month. Those who failed again would be dismissed immediately!

The new section chief's methods frightened many people. Nearly a hundred middle-level patrol officers who thought they had a big head were sent to Italian military camps for 30 days of hard labor. They would definitely have to shed two layers of their skins!Now these people are probably regretting it and want to vomit blood!

Speaking of which, since more than 600 daily arrestees were expelled a month ago, and more than 90 people were dismissed this time, the total number of patrols has been reduced by one-eighth. However, because the northern and eastern areas of the concession have been controlled by the Japanese, the remaining More than 4100 patrol officers are on duty in the Central and Western Districts, and the number is completely sufficient. This is why Li Junhao dared to go to war.If he persists for another three weeks, he will have more than [-] police trainees who have undergone new training to add in. Li Junhao does not have to worry about insufficient personnel at this time.

When the news spread, the British Consulate General heard the news, and the Consul General and Deputy Consul General were very angry. For those British patrolmen who were looking for trouble, they all believed that they deserved it, and had no intention of interceding at all - let these gangs It's just right for these guys to serve a month of hard labor, so that they don't get too crazy and don't know their last names!

The other parties were somewhat confused by the actions of the police department. They did not understand what the new American director was going to do, so they all chose to watch the situation.
-
June 6th, although it was Monday, Li Junhao did not go to work, neither to the police station nor to the training camp. He was a bit busy the past few days, so he took a break today!However, everyone else around him basically went to work, leaving only two bodyguards, Jackie and Nick, to accompany him at home.Taking advantage of the quiet time, he sorted out his thoughts. As his status in the concession changed, his perspective on the problem would also change. For example, in the intelligence market, he originally wanted to use it to sell information to make some money, but now He is no longer short of money, even if he is short of money, he can still make a profit by reselling goods!
In this case, the intelligence market located in the concession was a bit useless to him!After a month at most, after he has completely sorted out and mastered the police department, the intelligence market that this person exists under his nose will become a bit of an eyesore!What he needs to consider now is, first, to ban it, and second, to control it. As for which one to choose, he needs to weigh the pros and cons.

In addition, there are various forces currently existing in the concession, especially gangs and intelligence agencies from all parties. How to deal with them must also be put on the agenda.

The first is the gang headed by the Youth Gang. Now Du Yuesheng, one of the three giants, has fled to Hong Kong. Huang Huangrong is hiding in the French Concession. Only Zhang Xiaolin, the scumbag, has openly defected to the Japanese. But these three gangsters and other gang members However, the ringleaders still control most of the pornographic, gambling, and drug establishments, making the concession a mess!
Judging from Li Junhao's temperament, these of course need to be cleaned up, but how to proceed requires careful consideration.

There is also the infiltration of Japanese and puppet spies into the concession. The situation is extremely serious!On the surface, it seems that he has now cleared out all the Japanese patrols from the concession, strictly inspected the entrance to the concession, and banned the entry of weapons, and has achieved a lot of results. However, he believes that there are still a large number of Japanese and puppet spies in the concession. It's just that the actions are more covert - this can be seen from the dozens of bizarre criminal cases that the patrol room has not solved in this month.

The Japanese's commercial invasion of the concession was also very serious!Relying on their financial advantages and raw material supply advantages, Japanese-funded enterprises have entered the concessions in large numbers since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, either acquiring Chinese-funded enterprises or dumping goods at low prices, occupying a lot of market share; and these Japanese-funded enterprises The branch in the concession also undertakes a considerable degree of intelligence work and is a semi-public potential threat!
Now the political and military forces of various countries in the concession are also dividing. For example, the Italian and German forces in the public concession will become unsettling factors in the concession once the European War begins...

There is also the French Concession. After the European War begins, France will not be able to survive for long. When Paris is occupied and the puppet government is established, the French Concession will be able to get everything it wants from Japan, Germany's allied force!In this way, the public concession has become the real and only isolated island in Shanghai, with no room for maneuver!

These problems need to be solved urgently, and his time is very tight!
　Wow, I originally wanted to thank the book friends who voted for recommendation, but I can’t write it here!Later, I will open a separate chapter to thank everyone individually.
