The briefing by the Cultural Counselor, Kuros Barrett, was more interesting about the Olympic Games.

At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) discussed and elected the venue for the next Olympic Games, and Tokyo won, and the 12th Olympic Games were originally scheduled to be held from September 21 to October 6, 1940.

In July 1938, at the Cairo meeting of the International Olympic Committee, representatives of the Chinese Olympic Committee protested against Japan's invasion of China, undermined world peace, and violated the Olympic spirit, and demanded that the cities of Tokyo and Sapporo be deprived of the right to host the summer and winter Olympic Games.

Japan, for its part, announced that it would guarantee that the Games would be held as scheduled.

However, shortly after the Cairo meeting, the Japanese Olympic Committee, under pressure from the military, announced that Japan would not be able to hold the Olympics in 1940 to commemorate the 2600th anniversary of the Jimmu Era.

Under these circumstances, the IOC was forced to decide to relocate the Summer Olympics to Helsinki.

Who would have thought that on December 1 last year, the Soviet Union invaded Finland and triggered the Soviet-Finnish War, and on January 1 this year, Finland notified the International Olympic Committee to give up the right to host. Now, there is nowhere to hold the 12th Olympic Games!

Everyone in the meeting was a little puzzled when they heard this, and they didn't understand what Barrett was talking about.

Barrett explained: There are some voices in China who want to take over the Olympics, so the U.S. Olympic Committee hopes that the agencies abroad can ask the governments of the host countries whether they are willing to participate in the United States. According to the embassy, the Chongqing government seems to be very interested......

Hey? That's kind of fun! Everyone was interested and discussed......

Li Junhao is a little ridiculous, the US Olympic Committee is really naïve, at this time want to pick up the right to host an Olympic Games for nothing, but haven't they thought about the current world situation?

Here in Asia, the Sino-Japanese war is at a stalemate; On the European side, the Soviet-Finnish war was still going on; Before Germany invaded Poland, Britain, France and other countries had declared war on Germany, and a major war would break out at any time......

In this case, the Olympics are still held? There are a few countries that can go to the competition! The U.S. Olympic Committee wants to play behind closed doors!

As for the Chongqing government's desire to participate, of course, even if there is no sports meeting, those officials want to go around the United States!

In his opinion, it was a joke!

——

After the meeting, Ayers told him that the secret covenant should wait in advance and let him not trespass.

After leaving the Consulate General, Li Junhao went to the police station first, and the secretary on duty, Zheng Pingru, sent him a stack of processed documents and urged him to read them quickly.

During this time, Li Xiaoyu was mainly on duty at the headquarters in Jiaozhou Park, and Zheng Pingru was mainly at the police station, and Xiaoyu followed him everywhere; His other secretary, Milia, remained at the Consulate General and was in charge of his liaison with the Military Attaché.

Speaking of which, he has gone to the Consulate General the least, but he has survived two bosses and become an acting military attaché! However, he estimated that this situation would not last long, and the country would definitely make adjustments, and he would not wear the hat of acting military attaché for long.

After several adjustments, the police station has been basically regularized, with nine divisions and one section and thirteen sub-stations.

Administrative Division, jurisdiction: Command Room, Archives, Personnel Section;

General Affairs Office, jurisdiction: Finance Section, Logistics Section, Equipment Section;

Inspection Department, jurisdiction: Supervision Section, Police Section, Supervision Section;

Investigation Department, under the jurisdiction of the Internal Affairs Division, the Intelligence Division, the Operations Division, and the Detective Division;

The above three places and one of the police buildings in the headquarters of the Fuzhou Road Bureau - the former Public Concession Police Office and the Central Arrest House.

Law Division, jurisdiction: Laws Division, Judicial Division, Prison Division;

Anti-smuggling Division, jurisdiction: Economic Investigation Division, Investigation Division, Recovery Division;

Traffic Department, jurisdiction: Traffic Management Division, Road Administration Division, Vehicle Management Division;

The above three are stationed in the 22 Police Building on Xue Huali Road - the former French Concession Police Office and the Central Arrest House.

Criminal Division, jurisdiction: 1st Detachment (stationed in the Police Building) and 2nd Detachment (stationed in the Police Building).

The Public Security Department has jurisdiction over three detachments (stationed in the Police Building) and four detachments (stationed in the Police Building).

The Anti-Riot Department has jurisdiction over five detachments (stationed in the Police Building) and six detachments (stationed in the Police Building).

The original two concessions were restructured into 13 sub-bureaus directly under the Ministry of Capture and Reconstruction, Laozha, Jing'an Temple, Xinzha Road, Gordon Road, Chengdu Road, Putuo Road, Xue Huali Road, Xiaodongmen, Mailan Road, Xiafei Road, Petain Road, and Foch Road.

Among these departments, the main task of the newly established Anti-Smuggling Department was to crack down on illegal industries in the concession – he had instructed the Justice Department to reorganize the current laws and regulations in the concession and prepare to include pornography, gambling and drugs in the list of prohibitions.

Another newly established department was the Anti-Riot Division, which was responsible for supporting the quelling of riots and large-scale operations in the concession, among which the senior police officers were served by the Chinese arresters with good military qualifications, and the grassroots members were the former Annan patrols.

Except for a few who were more motivated and eager to learn from various departments, most of the original 1,000 were concentrated in the traffic department and the patrol teams of various sub-bureaus, and not a single stick was beaten to death.

After a lot of hard work, the work of the police station is now on the right track, and the heads of various departments and sub-bureaus have taken up their posts, and the current work situation is good.

For the citizens of the concession, the most intuitive feeling is that public order has improved, and the detection rate of criminal cases has increased.

In view of the actual situation of the current police department, in fact, the police force has overflowed, so one of the things that Li Junhao is operating is to carry out internal recruitment throughout the police department, on the one hand, to continue to expand the strength of the investigation department, and on the other hand, he intends to form a combat police force specifically for urban operations, and for this reason, he is even carrying out the third round of external recruitment of new police.

——

Hearing that Director Pan Sen had come to the bureau, Wang Renqiang, the head of the investigation department, immediately rushed over, who had previously been responsible for checking Zhang Xiaolin's property in the concession, and after the merger of the concessions, this task had been successfully completed; He was also ordered to receive, integrate, and clean up the Political Department of the former French Concession Police Department, and received a lot of personnel, equipment, and archives.

Compared with the special department of the former Public Concession, the Political Department of the former French Concession Police Department has gone further in the matter of anti-communism and dealing with anti-Japanese elements, and over the years, it has made outstanding deeds against the underground party and anti-Japanese organizations, patriots, the workers' movement, and student leaders.

After Wang Renqiang took over the Political Department, he immediately sealed up the files, examined all the members of the department, and expelled all those who were resolutely anti-communist and had pro-Japanese tendencies and put them in a detention center!

In this process, Li Junhao also personally went over to check for him, and praised his subjective initiative.
