Through Petevich's account, Li Junhao learned that there are currently more than 50,000 White Russians in Shanghai, but not many of them are really living well!

A man like Petrovich, who has experience in the army, was lucky enough to enter the White Russian team in the International Business Circle, and basically became a full-time soldier, with a medium salary or above, and some extra "business", and naturally lived a good life.

In addition, some people entered the municipal guard of the former French Concession, and they basically got by; There are also some who act as bodyguards and company security guards for the rich, and they can be regarded as having stable jobs.

Originally, some business basics chose to open shops, such as Russian restaurants, cafes, bakeries, jewelry stores, florists, watch shops and bars, etc., which can be regarded as doing the right thing.

But on the whole, these people account for less than 10 percent of the 50,000 people, and most of the other White Russians survive by working in restaurants, hotels, or trading houses, and becoming low-end occupations such as waiters, cooks, handymen, and maintenance workers; Many people have been reduced to thugs and nurses in casinos, brothels, and tobacco houses; Some of the elderly even had to beg on the streets, and their conditions were desolate.

As for some White Russian women, those with better personal conditions and some savings can teach music, dance, painting, etc., and can be regarded as having a good life; Usually, a slightly better career can be found as a waitress in a restaurant or bar, but there are not many such opportunities, more of them are to go to the dance hall as a dancer, at that time the earliest dancer in the Huhai dance hall was a White Russian woman; If you can't do that, you can only become a prostitute.

At that time, prostitutes were not prohibited in the concession, and brothels could be opened as long as they applied for a license from the patrol house and paid taxes, so several Belarusian brothels/houses were opened in the area of Ladu Road and Yaerpei Road in the former French Concession, the most famous of which was in Xiafei Fang on Xiafei Road. As elsewhere, these White Russian brothels/houses were controlled by White Russian gangsters.

Some of the White Russian groups in Shanghai formed gangs to protect their own interests, and some formed gangs to obtain black gold and compete with the Green Gangs for tobacco, brothels/brothels, gambling houses, and other businesses.

At present, the most powerful group of the White Russian gangs is called the "Russian General Association", whose headquarters is on Fenyang Road, and its leader is Count Monsolov, a cavalry captain in the imperial Russian era.

In addition to controlling brothels/houses, gambling houses, and extorting protection money from shops opened by the White Russians, this organization also attached itself to the "Inoue Mansion", a spy agency of the Japanese Black Dragon Society in Shanghai, to collect intelligence and sell arms for them, and to sell the old firearms discarded by the Japanese army to various armed forces in the suburbs.

After being kicked out of the International Chamber of Commerce, Petevich thought that he would be able to reorganize his gang by virtue of his previous position in the White Russian community, but he was suppressed by this "Russian General Association" at the beginning, and under the interests and threats, his former brothers left him and even betrayed him......

The house is gone, the money is gone, the woman is gone, and even wanting to have a full meal has become a luxury!

The reason why the Russian Federation did not kill him all at once was not that it could not be done, but that it deliberately left him behind and used his tragic fate to warn other White Russians who wanted to resist - the point, White Russians! It is its own people who want to enslave and control this organization!

Speaking of which, Petevich is very indignant, he thinks he is not a good person, but the style of this "Russian Federation" is really unacceptable to him! The main purpose of his visit this time is to ask the powerful commander of the concession, Pan Sen, to take action to defeat this gang! For this reason, he does not mind saddle up and serve it, after all, he can not only eat well, but also fight those bastards who are harming his compatriots!

Hearing this, Li Junhao nodded, what Petevich said was more detailed than he understood, and it was all the truth, and the color of its light spots was getting greener and greener, this was really putting hope on himself!

When he listened to the other party's narration just now, he had also been thinking about it, more than 50,000 White Russians are not a small ethnic group in the concession, if they can be subdued...... Well, these "old hairs" can be used very much!

And that "Russian General Assembly", is it so arrogant? This can't be done, no one is allowed to be more arrogant than himself in the concession, and he must be defeated! Well, this has to be arranged first.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Junhao said to this Belarusian man who was nearly forty years old: "Nicholas, I will give you two choices now, one is that I will send troops with you to defeat this 'Russian Association' who bullied you and your compatriots, and it will have nothing to do with it in the future; the other is to go to the police training center next to it to receive recruit training, if you can pass, I will support you to reorganize a White Russian team and let you personally take revenge!" ”

"I'll pick the second one!" Petevich immediately said, "I promise, I will complete all the training ......"

After arranging for the guards to send Petevich to the police training center next to it, Li Junhao reflected on whether his current approach was correct? The result of thinking is, I don't know, let's try it first!

And he now had an idea to study the change in Petevich's mind - reflected on his detection radar, which was the change in the color of the light spots.

Man's own thinking is changeable, and he wants to experiment, if he doesn't give Petevich, who is now a green point of light, a red bottle, just treat him with a fair attitude, and satisfy his desire for personal revenge, can he make his point of light turn blue? This should be a good subject.

From this matter, Li Junhao is still reflecting on the problems of overseas Chinese and ethnic groups in various countries in the concession, the world war is about to break out, all countries are facing choices, and the same is true for overseas Chinese and ethnic groups!

Now that he is one of the controllers of the concession, he must consider this problem, and how to organize these people and contribute to his goal of defending the concession is a question that must be studied! ——

In the afternoon, Chief of Staff Yang Shixiong came to him to report on his work.

During this period, Yang Shixiong was very busy, while being responsible for the formation and improvement of various departments of the headquarters, he had to grasp the training situation of the three regiments in real time; In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to and guide the training of the International Chamber of Commerce and the Municipal Guard, and plan and prepare for the formation of the militia self-defense corps.

"Shixiong, it's been a hard time!" Li Junhao said, "Come and sit down and have a sip of tea." ”

"Haha, it's really hard, but I'm happy to be able to do something serious!" Yang Shixiong smiled, "Thank you Junhao for giving me this opportunity!" ”

Li Junhao also smiled, after this period of observation, Yang Shixiong is definitely a great talent in military and logistics, and he really picked up a treasure!
