Shadow Spy

Chapter 241 There is an inside story on the deserter issue

At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 12, the 2-hour deadline expired. The Wolf Warrior Brigade received a report from the police station: only 24 French officers at all levels of the Municipal Guard and personnel from the Fourth Brigade reported to the camp, and there were 122 No one has arrived; the most serious one is the Belarusian squadron, where none of the 437 people have arrived!
The four squadron leaders laughed in anger. This was a blatant confrontation!So they notified the police station and issued a wanted order - Chief Panson has authorized the Wolf Warrior Brigade to handle the matter with full authority, so let's get started!
-
Li Junhao, who was in the office, received two documents from other departments. One was from the French Consulate General, which meant that 28 mid-level and senior French police officers and more than [-] European team members of the Municipal Guard submitted it to the consulate. Application to withdraw from the team...

Li Junhao instructed on the document: "Return to the French Consulate." He added: "The handover of the concession was completed three days ago, so there is no need to worry about how to handle police affairs."

The second document was sent by the Merchant Group of All Nations, stating that its C Brigade (Belarusian Team) has recently recruited 148 new recruits, and each European team has recruited hundreds of recruits. They all have good military qualities. Please approve them.

The number 148 is indeed very interesting!Li Junhao narrowed his eyes. Is this blatantly causing trouble?
Instead of rushing to give an approval, Li Junhao asked Xiao Yu to find the information on the merchant group of all nations and look through it again. Issues that he had not thought about in depth before now had to be seriously thought about.

This militia force was first established in 1853. After more than 80 years of development, it has become extremely international. It currently has a total of 27 regiments, squadrons, and detachments, with members from more than 20 ethnic groups and countries; among them, there is a translation team and a Chinese squadron, all composed of It is composed of Chinese people, each with a formal establishment of 125 people and a preliminary establishment of 200 people.

There has never been such a troop composition in the world before. Now there is only this one, and there will never be one in the future. The name of "Ten Thousand Nations" is unique!
Li Junhao didn't want to think about whether the existence of this special army meant the history of Shanghai's concession. That had no meaning to the current situation. What he needed to consider now was: Is it necessary to retain this extremely special militia team? ——
On Monday, December 12, Consulate General Li Junhao attended the regular meeting at the beginning of the month.

When the meeting was over, his secretary at the Consulate General, Miss Milia, asked the staff to tell him that Colonel Art Schneider, the commander-in-chief of the All Nations Merchant Corps, was waiting for him in the office.

In the office, Schneider was very anxious. What he learned early in the morning scared him into a cold sweat. After making some emergency arrangements, he immediately drove to Chief Panson, hoping to intercede and avoid possible conflicts in the future.

When he saw Li Junhao appear, Schneider immediately stepped forward and said: "Sir Pan Sen, I have an emergency here..."

Li Junhao raised his hand to stop him and motioned him to sit down in the reception area first, and then asked Miliya to serve tea. He also walked over and sat down, with an expression not in a hurry, and said: "Colonel, drink tea first, take your time. explain."

Schneider couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only sit down first. Of course, he had no intention of drinking tea. After seeing him sit down, he took a breath and said in a calmer tone: "Commander Panson, can you call the police station first?" A phone call..."

"Oh! Why?" Li Junhao asked.

"This..." Schneider hesitated and decided to tell the truth, "I'm afraid that the police station will take action against the All Nations Business Group!" "Against the All Nations Business Group?" Li Junhao was puzzled, "What happened?"

"Sir, please stop teasing me!" Schneider was really anxious. At this time, he had forgotten that he was more than twice as old as the other party and was very worried about something happening to the All Nations Business Group.

Li Junhao had a guess, but he really didn't know what would happen, because he had previously authorized the Wolf Warrior Brigade to give it full authority to handle the matter of deserters from the Municipal Guard. As long as it turned out, he had no idea what action he would take. At this time, he could think of why Schneider was anxious, but why bother in the first place?

Seeing that he remained silent, Schneider couldn't help himself and could only bite the bullet and said: "Sir Panson, this is my fault..." Then he told the truth.

It turned out that when the two concessions merged, the police station merged with the police department, and the municipal guard was facing takeover, a group of French mid-level and high-level officers decided to take the opportunity to leave, and the Belarusian squadron and two European squadrons of the Fourth Brigade The officers and soldiers also wanted to take the opportunity to break away from the ranks of the guard, so they ran away collectively before the official change of defense, and the target was the merchant group of all nations.

Schneider said helplessly that the incident happened the day before yesterday and yesterday, and he was kept a secret by the officers of each team under his command. It was not until this morning when he arrived at the business group station that someone told him: Brigade C has nearly 100 more people. There are many Belarusians and several other European teams with hundreds more people...

He realized something was wrong, and when he took people to check, he was sure that Brigade C had actually captured a Belarusian detachment from the former French Concession Municipal Guard!Several other extra personnel from the European team are also members of the Municipal Guard!Thinking about yesterday's notice from the police station, he immediately knew something was wrong!
Hearing this, Li Junhao said with interest: "Colonel, why don't I understand this! Tell me, why do these people in the municipal guard risk becoming deserters and take refuge in your business group? Don't you think so? What’s the special attraction there?”

Schneider looked ugly and could only tell the truth again: "Sir Pan Sen, I won't hide it from you now... Over the years, some groups in the Wanguo Merchant Group have been engaged in black market business in an organized manner, including smuggling. Arms, opium trafficking, etc.; but the Municipal Guard in the French Concession has been controlled by the Youth Gang headed by Huang Jinrong because of the smuggling channels. There is no condition to make a fortune, and many people have long wanted to leave!
"This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the merger of the concessions, these people from the Municipal Guard contacted the leaders of the various teams in the business group who were eager to expand their strength, and couldn't wait to join in..."

Li Junhao had never thought of this before, but he was surprised by the thinking of these people. The people of the Wanguo Merchant Group are so talented!Using the identity of a half-military and half-civilian militiamen can just cover their smuggling business, so creative!

And these Belarusian and European members of the Municipal Guard can also think of leaving their original units in this way and finding a dock where they can "make a fortune"!But they thought they, the police chief, were stupid, and they actually played this trick at this time!
Thinking of this, Li Junhao's eyes became sharp. He stared into Schneider's eyes and asked seriously: "Mr. Colonel, do you think it is still necessary for this business group from all over the world to exist?"
