The Japanese invaders ignored Beiyang's opposition, and on August 13, the German government The government said that it is willing to return the leased land in Jiaozhou Bay directly to the Beiyang government. The chargé d'affaires of the Japanese consul in China warned Vice Foreign Minister Cao Rulin that Beiyang would not be allowed to accept Germany's proposal.

Yuan Shikai was angry and angry, and asked Duan Qirui, the deputy minister of the army, if he could fight, Duan Qirui reported to Yuan Shikai after weighing all sides, if China and Japan went to war, with the existing strategic material reserves in Beiyang, they could resist the Japanese army for 48 hours at most, Yuan Shikai had no choice but to draw a war zone on the Jiaodong Peninsula.

September 3, 2014.

The Japanese army was divided into two routes, one led by Shenwei Mitsutomi, landed at Longkou, due to the inaction of Beiyang, the Japanese army drove straight in, entered Pingdu, occupied Jimo, arrived in Jiaozhou, and soon occupied Weixian, all the way to force the local government to provide food supplies, and expelled the Zhenhua Group to take over the Jiaoji railway staff.

After Chen Xuan ordered the capture of the Japanese concession in Hongkou District, the two sides also completely tore their faces, Chen Xuan wanted to go north to resist, but was blocked by Feng Guozhang's garrison in the southeast, and the preparation was not sufficient, even if he went north, it would not play a role, and the two sides could only fight diplomatically to win the support of other powers.

In the northeast, Chen Xuan's forces are also in constant conflict with the Japanese forces, so that the Japanese side does not dare to be too presumptuous on the land of China.

Chen Xuan could only send people to collect evidence of the Japanese army's crimes in various places in order to facilitate the liquidation in the future, and as for other aspects, there was really nothing he could do.

The war in Jiaodong is in full swing, and Chen Xuan's 'Operation Qingjie' in Shanghai is also in full swing.

September 9.

Sun Hongye's troops had already been transferred to the periphery of Puxi and Shanghai in the name of exercises, and Pudong was ready to block the docks at any time.

Chen Xuan sent invitations to the consuls of various countries, and will hold a banquet at the Pearl Hotel in Pudong tonight to entertain the consuls of various countries.

Since the Shanghai Overseer's Mansion did not make any more moves for three days, it gave people the feeling that Chen Xuan had softened, which was not unusual, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the regime had changed several times, and no one was able to eradicate this cancer, so the gang members did not care about themselves, and began to restrain themselves, and no longer focused on making trouble for the Overseer's Mansion.

These bigwigs began to give gifts to the officials of the Overseer and the police office, and determined the money, and these officials also bargained with them, and after the dust settled, the cigarette pipe of the Qinglou gambling house, which had been closed for some time, was silently opened again.

It seems that everything has also returned to the past, and it is peaceful!

Chen Xuan's banquet not only invited consuls from various countries, but also representatives from all walks of life and many gang bosses behind the scenes, everything gave people the feeling that Chen Xuan could no longer withstand the pressure and wanted to reach a reconciliation with the gang.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Xuan, Zhang Jian, Yu Qiaqing and others greeted the VIPs who came to the banquet at the door of the Pearl Hotel with a smile.

As of five o'clock in the afternoon, most of the participants have arrived, the banquet hall of the Pearl Hotel is brilliantly lit, the guests are graceful and smiling, countless bright courtesans strive to hold up their chests, and most of the hemisphere shines under the lights of the banquet hall, trying their best to attract the attention of these people who are not rich or noble.

Chen Xuan and others also walked through the crowd with red wine glasses, greeting the guests from time to time, or toasting a glass of wine, or nodding their heads, the music of the band sounded, and the VIPs invited the courtesans who had been secretly fancy for a long time to step onto the dance floor.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Chen Xuan sent someone to invite the consuls of various countries to the small conference hall, partially revealed his plan, and allowed the consuls of various countries to call the consulates, reminding the consulates of various countries not to be nervous, and to avoid entering Hongkou District and the old city to avoid accidental injuries.

At the same time, plainclothes soldiers began to block the entrance and exit of the concession with the help of the police, groups of policemen and soldiers also began to walk to the streets, Hongkou District and the old city began to be under martial law, people on the interface were also persuaded to go home, and shops large and small were also closed under the notice of the Chamber of Commerce.

It was also at this time that everyone knew that something big was going to happen.

Neither the police force nor the troops received a clear plan of action, but they were only asked to obey the command of all their actions, and the sharpshooters of the special operations brigade also occupied the commanding heights that had been chosen long ago.

The community management began to shout while beating gongs, asking citizens to hide in their homes and not to come out, and those who did not listen to the call were immediately controlled, and at this time it was too late to distinguish them, and they were all locked up in the barracks outside the city.

The clear-up team that had been arranged long ago, either in a platoon or a company, under the leadership of the intelligence officers of the Archives Bureau, rushed straight to the various bases that had been investigated with lightning speed.

It was also at this time that the sound of gunshots, shouts, shouts, and screams began to be heard, and countless rebellious ruffians were knocked to the ground, pulled into the big trucks that had been prepared long ago, and after they were full, they were transported out of the city one by one.

In the command hall of the Overseer's Palace, a large sand table occupies half of the hall.

In the hall, the sound of telephone and telegrams continued, the flow of personnel was endless, and various orders were constantly issued, and the operational staff officers kept planting small flags on the places that had already been cleared according to the information they received, indicating that the small red flags that had been cleared were constantly expanding on the sand table.

Everything is going well.

From time to time, fires also broke out in the streets, and the prepared firefighters were the first to extinguish the fire, and the arsonists were either killed or caught and thrown into the trucks on the side of the street.

Some gang bosses were not willing to be captured, and fierce firefights broke out in the manor, but no matter how desperate the ruffians and hooligans were, in front of the organized army, they were still like helping the sick under the scorching sun, and they collapsed in an instant, and the smart ones could still pick up a life, and those who were lucky turned into a cold corpse and were dragged out of the city to be buried on the spot.

As the commander-in-chief of this operation, Chen Qimei was busy but not chaotic, constantly adjusting his plan according to the information received.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, up to now, 37 strongholds of the gang have been captured, most of the target people have been captured or killed, and a small number are fleeing!"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, 5 of the 7 bigwigs of the Green Gang in our jurisdiction have been captured, 1 is on the run, and one has stayed in the public concession for some unknown reason and has not come out!"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the attack of the 17th squad has been blocked and reinforcements are needed!"

。。。。。。

Facts have also proved that sentence, no matter how great the so-called gang forces are usually boasted about, it also depends on whether the government is more serious with you, as long as the government is more serious, how black it is. The strength of the gang is only part of falling apart.

The clearance operation continued throughout the night.

At dawn, truckloads of prisoners were pulled out of the city, and truckloads of captured weapons, tobacco, gold and silver, antiques, foreign currency, title deeds, and other riches were also sent to the prepared places.

Continuing not to give others a chance to intercede, these minions who were caught were sent to the ship to Nanyang as soon as they were registered, and these brave and ruthless gangsters were escorted to serve in Nanyang, and those bigwigs were interrogated overnight.

The results of the interrogation were immediately handed over to the Propaganda Department, and after screening, selectively distributed to journalists, who also sent the first-hand information back to the museum as soon as possible.

It is foreseeable that today's front-page headline is the anti-crime storm of the Shanghai Overseer's Mansion.

Chen Xuan sent away the indignant consuls and representatives from all walks of life at the Pudong dock with an apologetic face, and as for the gang bosses who attended the meeting, they were sent directly to the prepared interrogation room.

The sky gradually brightened, the streets of Shanghai returned to calm, the blood stains on the interface had long been washed away, two crossed seals were pasted on the doors of the strongholds of the Qinglou Gambling House and other gangs, and the manor mansions of some bigwigs were also sealed and guarded.

The ordinary shops on the street also opened their doors with trepidation under the notice of the Chamber of Commerce, and the ordinary people who were ordered to stay at home also tried to get out of their homes, and the citizens were pleasantly surprised to find that the streets seemed to be cleaner, and the hooligans who usually bare their chests and backs like crabs also disappeared.

Under the leadership of Zhenhua and other large groups, the Chamber of Commerce has held countless promotional activities, and the interface has gradually become lively, and the martial law troops have long been withdrawn, but what the general public does not know is that countless plainclothes people are still roaming the streets, and the gang members who came out from the concession to inquire about the news were silently controlled and dragged away under the identification of the intelligence officers.

Hongkou and the Old Town have become forbidden places for gangs, and if they appear, they will disappear immediately, and the Overseer's Mansion finally has the energy to start cleaning up the mountains of garbage piled up on the streets.

10 a.m.

Chen Qimei, the Shanghai Overseer, held a press conference at a foreign-funded hotel, explaining in detail the reasons, process and results of the Shanghai Overseer's Mansion's 'Clean Street Operation', and informing of the seizure of the operation (of course, it was only a seizure that needed to be known).

Overseer's office staff showed reporters some of the seized guns and cigarettes. Even if only partially, it is shocking enough, with thousands of guns of all sizes seized and mountains of tons of smoke piled up.

All of a sudden, the camera's flash flickered, and the smoke and stench of the magnesium powder burned mixed together.

At the same time, Chen Qimei also officially announced that the tobacco soil would be collectively destroyed the next day, and at the same time, the Shanghai Overseer's Office would set up a maritime anti-smuggling team, and all ships transporting tobacco and soil would be seized, and once again reiterated the Shanghai Overseer's gun ban.

The consuls of various countries suffered a dumb loss, but everything was in order, and they had to praise the righteous actions of the Overseer in the newspapers against their will, and called it the progress of civilization, and for a while, the prestige of the Baath Party among the people soared.

Chen Xuan didn't want to offend these powers too much, so he sent a large number of industrial orders as soon as possible.
