Thursday, June 22. On this day, the Huhai Public Concession Police Department conducted an internal examination for the first time in 85 years since its establishment in July 1854, and it is believed that this day will be recorded in the history of Shanghai.

At 9:30, the first examination started at the same time in the central capture room and each sub-capture room, with a total of 20 examination rooms, and the first batch of reference was more than 400 senior patrolmen from various departments and each capture room; There were four invigilators in each examination room, namely the US Navy and Marines, the clerks of the Consulate General, the militia officers of the International Chamber of Commerce, and teachers hired from various middle schools in the concession area, which eliminated the possibility of cheating to the greatest extent.

On the morning of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd, a total of six rounds of written examinations were conducted, and the collected test papers were handed over to the consular clerk and external secondary school teachers to mark the papers.

Beginning on the afternoon of the 23rd, the other half of the patrol who applied for the oral examination was assessed by the marines, militia officers, and consular staff, and this work lasted for more than two days, and the advantage was that the results could be released on the spot.

On the afternoon of June 25, the assessment results of more than 4,600 patrols of the police department came out, which was similar to what Li Junhao expected, more than two-thirds of them passed the first time, and more than half of the people who did not pass were close to passing.

However, there are more than 700 people, and nearly one-sixth of them have very poor patrol results, only 20 or 30 points; The most infuriating thing is that nearly 100 people have handed in blank papers or have not answered a single question correctly in the oral exam - this part of the people is mainly British patrols and high-level Chinese arresters with a background in the Green Gang!

Seeing this result, Li Junhao laughed angrily, and immediately issued an order to dismiss all these 90 people, impose an administrative punishment of 30 days of detention in the name of contempt for the "Police Ordinance", and sent marines to escort these people to the Italian military camp on Jiaozhou Road to serve their labor--these 700 Italian troops were unwilling to participate in the reform of the concession, but there was no psychological barrier to dealing with the British; As for the background of the Green Gang or something, it's even more useless to them! These more than 90 people have suffered in a month!

As for the remaining patrols that failed the test, they were mainly Indian and tin fishing, and a small number of Chinese fishing.

Li Junhao asked the director's office to issue a notice to all departments and arrest rooms, giving the failed patrols another week, and at the end of the month, they will be re-examined, and if they can't pass again, they will be dismissed immediately!

The methods of the new director frightened many people, and the nearly 100 mid-level patrols who thought they were big were sent to the Italian military camp for 30 days of labor, and they definitely had to take off two layers of skin! Now these people are probably regretting it and are going to vomit blood!

Speaking of which, since the expulsion of more than 600 daily arrests a month ago, and the dismissal of more than 90 people this time, the total number of patrols and arrests has been reduced by one-eighth, but because the northern and eastern districts of the concession have been controlled by the Japanese side, the remaining 4,100 patrols and arrests are on duty in the central and western districts, and the number is completely sufficient, which is also the reason why Li Junhao dares to make a big move. If he persists for another three weeks, he will have more than 600 police cadets who have undergone new training to replenish him, and Li Junhao does not have to worry about running out of people at this time.

When the news came out, the British Consulate General heard the news, and the Consul General and the Deputy Consul General were very angry, and they unanimously believed that they deserved to be arrested by the British who had nothing to do, and they did not have the slightest intention of pleading for mercy - it was just right to let these guys serve a month of hard labor, so that they were so crazy that they didn't know what their surnames were!

Other forces were a little confused by the actions of the police force, and did not understand what the new American commissioner was going to do, so they all chose to watch the situation from the sidelines.

-----------------

June 26th, although it was Monday, Li Junhao did not go to work, neither to the police department, nor to the training camp, a few days ago was a little busy, today to make up for it! However, most of the others around him went to work, leaving only Jackie and Nick, two bodyguards, to stay at home with him.

Taking advantage of the quietness, he sorted out his thoughts, as his status in the concession changed, the angle of consideration should also change, for example, the intelligence market, it turned out that he wanted to use it to sell information to make some money, but now he is not short of money, even if he is short of money, he can make a profit by reselling goods!

In this case, this intelligence market located in the concession is a bit chicken for him! At most, a month later, after he has completely straightened out and mastered the police department, the intelligence market that exists under his nose is a bit of an eyesore! What he needs to consider now is to ban it, and to control it, and as for which one to choose, he needs to weigh the pros and cons.

In addition, there are various forces that now exist in the concession, especially the gangs and the intelligence agencies of all parties, and how to deal with them is also on the agenda.

First of all, the gang headed by the Qing Gang, now Du Yuesheng of the Big Three has taken refuge in Hong Kong, Huang Jinrong has closed his door in the French Concession, only Zhang Xiaolin, the scum, has openly defected to the Japanese, but these three bigwigs and the leaders of the other halls still control most of the pornography, gambling, and drug establishments, making the concession a miasma!

In terms of Li Junhao's temperament, of course, these must be cleaned up, but how to start is to think carefully.

There is also the infiltration of Japanese puppet spies into the concession, and the situation is extremely serious! On the surface, he has now cleared out of the concession by patrolling and arresting Japanese nationals, and has achieved a lot of results by strictly inspecting and prohibiting armed entry at the entrance of the concession, but he believes that there are still a large number of Japanese puppet spies in the concession, but their actions are more concealed -- this can be seen from the dozen or so strange criminal cases that have not been solved by the patrol house in the past month.

The commercial encroachment of the Japanese on the concession was also serious! Relying on the advantages of capital and raw material supply, from before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese-funded enterprises entered the concession on a large scale, either acquiring Chinese-funded enterprises or dumping goods at low prices, occupying a lot of market share; And the branches of these Japanese-funded enterprises in the concession are also responsible for a considerable degree of intelligence work, which is a semi-open potential threat!

At present, the political and military forces of the countries in the concession are also divided, for example, the Italian and German forces in the public concession will become an unstable factor in the concession once the European war begins......

There is also the French Concession, after the start of the European War, France will not last long at all, when Paris is occupied and the puppet government is established, the French Concession will be a demand for Germany's ally Japan! In this way, the public concession has become the real and only isolated island in Huhai City, and there is no room for maneuver!

These problems are urgently needed, and he is short on time!
