Chapter 411: Director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau

Wuhan, August 1941

The warship brigade that the New First Army wanted did not have the support of the Central Military Commission, but the highest authorities gave Li Yunlong the post of "director of the Yangtze River Anti-Smuggling Bureau." It is said that this decision was made after his exchange with Comrade Li.

The unit of the "Yangtze River Anti-Smuggling Bureau" has always existed, but it has never had a sense of existence, "anti-smuggling"? What are you kidding, these days, ordinary people who dare to engage in smuggling, if you go to conduct an inspection, believe it or not, people will directly go up to greet you with long guns and short guns, and they won't be able to kill you.

But Li Yunlong didn't care, as soon as he got the letter of appointment, he gave an order to the commander of the garrison of Qijiang Special City, asking all the students of the Marine Police Training School under the garrison command to immediately rush to Wuhan with light equipment.

That night, the gendarmes of the New First Army took over the organs of the Yangtze River Anti-Smuggling Bureau in Wuhan, and all the original personnel were retained, but they had to go to Qijiang Special City for intensive training, and even those who wanted to find connections and be transferred away were frightened and stupid.

It's just that this gossip did not ferment, because on the second day, the new Yangtze River Anti-Smuggling Bureau made its debut:

"Anshan-class" destroyer - "Wuhan".

G-5 torpedo boats - 50 units.

1125 patrol gunboats - 20 units.

0.3 m river transport boats - 100 units.

It is also a coincidence that the anchorage of the Yangtze River Anti-Smuggling Bureau is next to the Navy's Yangtze River Fleet, and Commander Chen, who has just regained his confidence, instantly closed himself again when he saw the luxurious equipment of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau next door, and his own navy has nothing other than the three ships "Zhongshan", "Beiping", and "Jinling", and it really does not have the luxury of this Anti-Smuggling Bureau.

Especially the "Wuhan" destroyer, there are only two in the Navy now, but your anti-smuggling corps actually uses it as a flagship, a flagship? What flagship do you want for an anti-smuggling corps? Are there not enough 1125 patrol gunboats?

As for the turret on the 1125 patrol boat, the average river defense warship can't carry it, okay? Not to mention patrol boats and torpedo boats, even the 0.3-meter inland river transport boat is also greedy, the navy has studied the kind of torpedo boats, fiberglass fiber, nylon fiber, overall mold, obviously ultra-light ships, but with far more protection capabilities than steel-hulled ships.

Commander Chen also consulted with the Bald Eagle side, and this kind of ship Bald Eagle can indeed be manufactured, but the price will be very high, so high that it is unbearable.

Not to mention how sour the navy is, Li Yunlong's "Yangtze River Anti-Smuggling Bureau" started to enforce the law on the Yangtze River on the same day, and the water police force of Qijiang Special City has always taken care of anti-smuggling tasks, so this business can be said to be very skillful, and hundreds of smuggling boats were seized in just a few hours, and even more than a dozen smuggling boats were sunk in the crossfire.

Shipping on the Yangtze River went down almost on the same day, and there was no way, and there was no way for any serious shipping company not to engage in a little smuggling, according to the dry method of the "Yangtze River Anti-Smuggling Bureau," it would definitely be a good one, and there would only be fish that slipped through the net, and there would be no unjust, false and wrongful cases.

Later, according to incomplete statistics, the total value of the cases seized and seized by the "Yangtze River Anti-Smuggling Bureau" on the first day exceeded 100 million silver dollars, and this is still the premise that many arms and materials have not been counted, and if they are all counted, I am afraid that there will be more than 200 million silver dollars.

That night, the fat finance minister and the big uncle went to the Luojiashan official residence, as expected, most of the ships seized by Li Yunlong during the day belonged to these two, and the rest, most of them also had something to do with them, in this context, not to mention the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, even the navy had no way at all, and they had to escort others to prevent those ubiquitous bandits.

However, the highest authorities are very unkind to these two relatives of their own family, Nima, if you do smuggling, you will do smuggling, you can't say anything if you make up for your own family, but you two are good, almost monopolizing the smuggling business on the Yangtze River, this is only detained, how many of those who don't know?

The government's finances have improved, but there are still many places that need to spend money. The fatigue of the officers and men and the lack of ammunition are only one thing, but the most important thing is that the government has no money, and it is really out of money, and if he continues to fight, he will not even be able to pay the second month's military salary.

The avalanche in the First War Zone is the same, Tang Dahu's waste is only a small part of the reason, the most important thing is that the government has financial problems, and the military salary has not been paid in full for half a year, just like that, the gang in the First War Zone has scavenged another wave, and even fewer have been sent to the soldiers, and it is not surprising that many grassroots troops are unwilling to work hard in this case.

The highest authorities have also beaten the idea of their relatives, but neither the fat finance minister nor the big uncle is willing to lend money to the government to tide over the difficulties, not only is they unwilling to borrow money, but they also use the power in their hands to grab greater benefits, the only difference is that the big uncle is a little more face-saving, as for the fat finance minister's family, the children simply don't want face at all.

Ishihara's guy deployed the captured 120 heavy guns of the alliance in Jiujiang, but the Japanese army did not produce this kind of shells, and on the alliance side, their own shells were not enough, and they would definitely not sell them to the Japanese, so where did the shells of the eleventh army of the devil come from.

According to the agreement between Comrade Li and the supreme authorities, these things confiscated by Li Yunlong need to be divided with the supreme authorities, and they are 28 cents, Li Yunlong is 2, and the supreme authorities are 8, of course, the money needs to be temporarily put in the accounts of the banks in the border areas, and the supreme authorities can use the money to buy arms and materials, and they have made 80 million oceans in just one day.

Although it is impossible to have today's harvest in the future, the supreme authorities will still make sure that they will not lose money, because no matter what, the circulation of materials will not stop, and if they do not use smuggling channels, they will naturally have to pay taxes normally, which will not only enrich the government's finances, but also prevent people from "financing the enemy" to the greatest extent.

Not only that, but the next day the highest authorities also personally went to comfort the front-line anti-smuggling personnel, reiterating their determination to maintain the stability of the domestic market and resolutely crack down on smuggling crimes.

In the end, the eldest son of the fat finance chief's family was secretly arrested and "executed" by the Military Administration Bureau because he was involved in smuggling and the amount was huge.

Wang Yue was surprised by this result, the eldest son of the fat finance chief's family was sent to a northwest town to be imprisoned, and he also gave birth to more than a dozen children with a local woman, do you dare to think? Did Li Yunlong's goods indirectly save the fate of the fat wealth elder?
