For Wang Renqiang, who is in charge of the investigation department, this crackdown on Japanese puppet lurkers was very successful, and he also picked up many intelligence outlets of other forces by the way, which can be said to be full of gains.

Of course, for the agents of these other forces, they cannot be like the pseudo-agents of Japan, at least they have not been punished; And he understands the boss's mind very well, and treats the people suspected of being underground party members more preferentially. However, he was a little worried about how to deal with those foreign agents, so he could only go to the boss for advice.

Li Junhao heard Wang Renqiang's instructions, thought about it, and said: "In this way, except for the Japanese puppet side, other foreign intelligence personnel who have been discovered are divided into two categories to be dealt with, and for the personnel of the Axis countries such as Germany, Italy, and Hungary, after all are recorded in the files, they will be expelled from the country and not allowed to enter the concession again;

"For intelligence personnel of other countries, they will be ordered to make a special registration in the Investigation Department, and they will be temporarily allowed to stay in the concession, but if they are found to have committed acts that endanger the concession and endanger the interests of the United States, they will be severely punished!"

"Got it, boss!" Wang Renqiang got the principle of accuracy, and he had a bottom in his heart, so he agreed, but he still added: "Also, the people over there in Yan'an ......"

"Let's deal with it the same!" Li Junhao said, "Everyone has been released, recorded separately in the secret file, and handed over to me for safekeeping...... Well, they will not endanger the safety of the concession. ”

"Understood." Wang Renqiang accepted the order, got up and left to get busy.

Subsequently, Li Junhao received many phone calls from the military attaché of the consulate, talking about the arrested agents, and he told him about his decision, whether the other party agreed or disagreed, he would do so.

The military attachés of various countries have accepted this, who let the spy be unprotected! If you don't get caught, you can do anything, and if you get caught, you will consider yourself unlucky! From this point of view, the result is already the lightest.

As for the military attachés of Germany, Italy, and Hungary, they were very speechless, although they did not declare war on the United States, they were in the state of belligerent countries with Britain and France, and the concession also had British and French shares, so they had nothing to say about their expulsion.

After receiving this method of dealing with the concession, the Japanese side demanded that its spies also be treated as members of the Axis powers, but the concession side again refused. The Japanese side did not give up and had to protest to the Ministry of Industry almost every other day, which annoyed the staff on both sides and made it a routine matter for both sides......

On Friday, January 26, Li Junhao was working at the headquarters when he suddenly received a notice and was summoned to the consulate.

As he entered the conference room, Consul General Ayers and Political Counsellor Sheehan chatted with British Consul General Lord Turner Wesley and Military Attache, Admiral Henry Delrent.

After some exchanges, Li Junhao learned what the British meant: they will evacuate 1,700 British troops stationed in the concession area from Shanghai at the end of this month and return home!

By this time, he had already begun to form more troops, the Self-Defense Corps and the Militia Joint Defense Team were all stepping up, and he didn't really care much about these small numbers of British troops, but if the British army just patted his ass and left, he felt that it was a little too cheap for them!

After a "friendly exchange," Lord Wesley and Colonel Delrente agreed that when the British troops withdrew, all weapons and equipment in their possession and stockpile, except for the officers' self-defense pistols, would be left to the U.S. Joint Command......

After sending off the not-so-good-looking Lord, Ayers smiled and pointed his finger at him before leaving; Sheehan couldn't help but laugh, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up.

Li Junhao also smiled, in fact, he knew that British nobles like Lord Wesley didn't really value those weapons and equipment, they just felt a little embarrassed. And for himself, although these weapons and equipment are worth a little money, they are not worth his extra effort, he just can't get used to these British people holding shelves and fake Sven, and deliberately angry with them.

Of course, these weapons and equipment are all useful, the British 77 rifle and Bren light machine gun, and the imitation 75mm "Miss France" infantry gun are all good weapons now, as well as those clothes, ammunition, vehicles, fuel, etc., don't be in vain.

——

At the end of the month, most of the British troops stationed in Shanghai and some expatriates left Shanghai in two groups and returned to China on two passenger ships, for whom it was impossible for them to return to this Far Eastern city before the end of the world war.

After a simple count, there were more than 5,000 rifles, more than 400 light machine guns, nearly 100 heavy machine guns, more than 50 infantry guns, more than 30 light armored vehicles, more than 70 military trucks, and a considerable amount of ammunition supplies, which were enough to equip several standard infantry regiments.

Truth be told, the amount was a bit more than he expected.

After thinking about it, he decided to use this batch of weapons to equip the Self-Defense Corps, which was also in line with its positioning as a second-line unit. Of course, the number is not enough, so make up for it, which has saved him a lot of money.

——

For the expatriates of other countries in the concession, the evacuation of the British troops and part of the expatriates represented a bad signal, and many began to think about it more.

In the next few days, more expatriates began to leave, and many people with vision, money and well-established chose the right destination - North America, while most people couldn't understand the situation and wanted to go back to Europe, which made Li Junhao speechless, but it was none of his business, and he couldn't say more.

One of his important tasks at present is to review the information of the detainees in various prisons in the French Concession handed over by the Investigation Department.

Compared with the situation in the original Public Concession, the situation in the French Concession is more serious, and there are more political prisoners detained, but there are not many members of the underground party, but there are many red people with international backgrounds, and there are people of all nationalities, and some are even French!

The treatment of these people made it difficult for Li Junhao, these people are different from the underground party, China is currently in the war of resistance, the underground party is one of the most important anti-Japanese forces, he has a good excuse to release them, a sentence "let them return to the anti-fascist front", it is enough to shut up the others!

There are still a large number of foreigners who have been detained, and if he takes matters into his own hands and wants him to be released, I am afraid that he will be labeled as sympathetic to the Red International and sued for going to China, which is not a trivial matter.
