The first meeting of the maintenance committee presided over by Hashimoto Group, as Lu Chengzhou expected, in addition to asking for the maintenance of law and order and the pacification of the people, it was also necessary to assist the Japanese army, crack down on various anti-Japanese groups, and search for anti-Japanese elements.

The tasks of the maintenance committee have been arranged by the Japanese side long ago, and the maintenance committee only needs to do it.

The various executive orders seemed to be issued by the maintenance committee, but in fact they were all formulated in advance by the special services of the Haigu Army in Japan.

In addition to the maintenance of advisors and assistants, the following agencies will have Japanese personnel such as advisors and liaison officers.

These people are the ones who are really in power.

Participating in this meeting, Lu Chengzhou finally understood what a puppet regime was.

Everything was arranged by the Japanese, and the maintenance committee only had to be done.

Lu Chengzhou was most concerned about two things: the search for anti-Japanese personnel and the blockade of the British and French concessions.

Starting this evening, the Haigu Police Station will cooperate with the Japanese army to carry out a large-scale search and arrest work throughout the city.

The search will be carried out in separate sections and from house to house, and anyone who is deemed suspicious will be taken away.

The Japanese army hated the Japanese personnel very much, and would rather kill the enemy than let it go.

This sentence was said by Hashimoto himself, and his eyes were murderous at that time.

The lives of Chinese, in his eyes, are like ants.

In addition, it was to blockade the British and French concessions and force the two concessions to make concessions.

As for how to make concessions, I didn't say anything for the time being.

However, Lu Chengzhou believes that the "concessions" here will definitely include handing over the terrorists or anti-Japanese elements in the concession to the Japanese side for handling.

After the meeting, Hiroshi Kawasaki and Lu Chengzhou had a separate talk.

As an assistant officer of the Japanese Haigu Army's secret service, he had his own office here.

"What is the current situation in the British Concession?" Hiroshi Kawasaki sat behind his desk, flipping through the materials and taking notes, and didn't have time to lift his head when he spoke.

"A large number of people have poured into the concession, and it is estimated that various anti-Japanese groups and anti-Japanese elements have also taken the opportunity to flee into the concession." Lu Chengzhou said "worriedly".

"The concession must not become a place outside the law." Hiroshi Kawasaki threw the pen in his hand on the table and stood up violently.

"Teacher, if all the anti-Japanese elements enter the concession, it will also be good for us, at least, they will not make trouble for us." Lu Chengzhou said comfortingly.

"Yes, there is a good in everything." Hiroshi Kawasaki nodded slowly.

The military ministry demanded that friction with Britain, France, and the United States and other capitalist countries should be avoided.

However, seeing that so many anti-Japanese elements gathered in the concession, it was completely possible to catch them all, such a good opportunity, Kawasaki Hiroshi really didn't want to miss it.

"If all these people can be arrested, it will be a disaster." Lu Chengzhou looked at Kawasaki Hiroshi's face and said slowly.

"Do you have any ideas?" When Kawasaki Hiroshi heard Lu Chengzhou's words, his face really softened.

"The Imperial Japanese Army has occupied Haigu, and are you still afraid of the small concession? As long as the imperial army gives an order, the British and French troops will be guaranteed, and they will be scared. "Even if Lu Chengzhou really has an idea, he can't tell Kawasaki Hiroshi.

His image in front of Kawasaki Hiroshi is that of a loyal and brave Chinese spy.

"There will be such a day, but not yet, and friction with Britain and France should be avoided for the time being." Kawasaki shook his head.

In Haigu, the Japanese army does have an absolute advantage, but what about internationally? Once Britain, France, and the United States decide to take action against Japan, Japan, which is a small land, is really not an opponent.

"I wish that day would come soon." Lu Chengzhou's face yearned.

However, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was a good thing for China that Japan did not dare to have friction with Britain and France.

If the Japanese army really rushed into the concession desperately, with the urine of the British, they would definitely have to flee in the wilderness.

At that time, the anti-Japanese forces will really have no soil for survival.

"In order to strengthen the spy forces and severely crack down on anti-Japanese forces, the Haigu headquarters of the Japanese gendarmerie will be established." Hiroshi Kawasaki said suddenly.

"Is the teacher going to serve in the gendarmerie?" Lu Chengzhou's face immediately showed joy.

The special service of the Haigu Army of Japan is in charge of all affairs in Haigu.

The gendarmerie, on the other hand, is dedicated to searching for patriots.

The Japanese military police were originally set up for the purpose of rectifying military discipline and inspecting the crimes and illegal acts of military personnel.

In Japan, the gendarmerie was only in charge of the army, but in China, it went against the usual practice and was in charge of the Chinese people.

"The head of the Hashimoto group is interested in making me the head of the special high section of the gendarmerie. It's ridiculous that Hidekazu Mokawa has to compete with me for this position again. Kawasaki said with a sneer.

"With the talents and qualifications of a teacher, he should be the chief of the gendarmerie." Lu Chengzhou said flatteringly.

The word "again" that Kawasaki Hiroshi said made Lu Chengzhou thoughtful.

No wonder the relationship between Hiroshi Kawasaki and Hidekazu Shigekawa has lost the harmony of yesterday, and it seems that it is the word "again" that is to blame.

"I also want to be the captain, but it depends on how hard you work. Only by arresting more anti-Japanese elements will I have the opportunity to become the chief captain. Kawasaki said with a smile.

Hidekazu Mokawa did want to fight with him, but he had been serving in the staff of the North China garrison and had a good relationship with both the commander and the chief of staff.

Therefore, Hiroshi Kawasaki became the assistant to the head of the agency, and Hidekazu Mokawa only got an advisor to the maintenance association.

Although Hidekazu Shigekawa became the Emperor of the Society, his status within the Japanese army was inferior to that of Hiroshi Kawasaki.

In order to make Hidewa Mogawa feel uncomfortable, it can be said that he single-handedly set up the maintenance meeting, and was finally squeezed out of the Japanese Haigu Army secret service, how could he be willing.

The establishment of the Haigu headquarters of the Japanese gendarmerie gave Shigekawa Hidekazu hope again.

This general long team needs the rank of Osa, and Hidewa Mokawa is just a young sa, and he can only look up.

Hidekazu Mogawa retreated to the next best thing and wanted to be the head of the special high section.

The advisor of the maintenance association does not conflict with the head of the special high section, and Hidekazu Shigekawa feels that he can do three jobs.

For the next few days, Lu Chengzhou would come to Fukushima Street every day for meetings.

In order to strengthen the control of the maintenance committee, and also worried that the maintenance association would not be able to do its job, the Hashimoto group personally presided over a meeting every day.

Lu Chengzhou took the opportunity to grasp the dynamics of Haigu at any time.

At the same time, he also took advantage of the meeting to report the situation of the concession to Hiroshi Kawasaki.

As for Maochuan Xiuhe, Lu Chengzhou didn't bother.

Kawasaki Hiroshi is currently at odds with Shigekawa Hidekazu, face and heart, and Lu Chengzhou doesn't want to be a mouse in the bellows.

"According to reliable sources, the North China Salvation Association, the Tsinghua Alumni Association, the Beiping Minxian Headquarters, and several leaders of the Beiping Minxian have entered the British Concession one after another." After Kawasaki Hiroshi saw Lu Chengzhou, he said with some dissatisfaction.

These messages should have been provided to him by Lu Chengzhou.

However, Lu Chengzhou's identity was exposed and he could no longer get close to these anti-Japanese groups, which made Kawasaki Hiroshi regret.

"There are so many anti-Japanese groups, can they be arrested?" Lu Chengzhou was shocked, but there was a look of surprise on his face.

Kawasaki Hiroshi actually got such accurate information, if he hadn't communicated with Li Xiangxue, he wouldn't have known so much.

Only one thing can be stated, someone provided accurate information to Hiroshi Kawasaki.

Moreover, this person is more important, otherwise he would not know so much.

Lu Chengzhou's heart suddenly lifted.

However, on the surface, he can't have anything abnormal, and even has to be "happy" about the news.

"If they hadn't committed a crime in the British Concession, would the police have arrested them?" Hiroshi Kawasaki asked.

As an assistant officer of the special service of the Japanese Haigu Army and the chief of the special section of the Japanese gendarmerie, Kawasaki Hiroshi believed that the Japanese army must have the right to enforce the law in the British concession.

Therefore, he reported to both Commander Kiyoji Kazuki and the head of the Hashimoto Group that the British had to be given in.

"Well, you really can't arrest anyone." Lu Chengzhou said "disappointed".

The British are better at this, and this is also the reason why the military commanders and the Haigu Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China chose to place their organs in the British Concession.

As long as the crime is not committed in the British Concession, the police force will not pursue it.

"When you have been in the British Concession for a long time, how can you get the British to give in?" Hiroshi Kawasaki asked.

"The British bullied the weak and feared the hard, and if the Imperial Army could get tough, they would back down. If the Imperial Army could storm the concession, even if it was blocked at the entrance of the concession, they would be terrified. Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.

"Last year, the rickshaw strike in the British Concession made the British back down, right?" Hiroshi Kawasaki said suddenly.

In that rickshaw turmoil, Lu Chengzhou was the driving force behind the scenes, and also negotiated with the rickshaw driver on behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau.

In the end, the rickshaw triumphed, and traffic in the British Concession was restored.

"Does the teacher have an idea?" Lu Chengzhou's heart moved.

Kawasaki Hiroshi smiled and didn't speak.

However, the next day, the Japanese army began to impose martial law around the British Concession, and at the same time, they erected barbed wire fences on the main roads.

At the same time, it was announced that it was necessary to have a permit issued by the Society for Maintenance in order to enter and leave the British Concession.

At the same time, Hiroshi Kawasaki, on behalf of the Japanese Haigu Army Special Service, entered the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the British Concession and negotiated with the director of the bureau, Barns.

Kawasaki Hiroshi took a hard line and asked the British Concession to assist the Japanese army in arresting the terrorists and communists in the British Concession. At the same time, it will assist the Haigu authorities in implementing the circulation monetary policy.

In the concession, the circulation of old fiat currency and the export of cash silver were prohibited.

After the implementation of the fiat currency policy, the British concession actively supported it, and banned the circulation of the North China Union Bank Bills made by Japan.

Before the Japanese occupation of Haigu, the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications in the British Concession had a large amount of cash deposited but did not ship it out in time.

The Japanese salivated over these silver dollars.

Kawasaki also asked the British Concession to assist the Haigu authorities in inspecting and managing the Chinese banks, money banks, and commercial banks in the concession; Facilities, words, deeds, and publications that violate the policies of the Haigu authorities will be strictly banned.

The most important one is that from now on, Japan will require joint management of the concession with the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau.

Hiroshi Kawasaki did not agree to any of his requests, and he had no right to agree.
