Today is a northerly day deliberately chosen by Li Junhao, when the fierce smoke rises from the Bund river bank in the northeast corner of the concession, a black smoke column with a strange smell rises, which can be seen within a radius of ten miles, causing a sensation in Shanghai......

When the news came out that it was the thousands of boxes of tobacco confiscated by the Concession Police Station before the arson, it was a shock!

The 500 cigarette dealers who were forced to "watch the ceremony" at the scene were first stunned, and then their hearts were so painful that many of them wept bitterly, and some even rushed forward to rescue the smoke and soil in the fire pit, but were immediately smashed back by the riot police guarding with a baton—there is no need to be polite to these people!

The onlookers in the concession from a little distance were shocked! For ordinary people, tobacco is harmful, but it is also extremely expensive, so ...... How much is so much tobacco worth?

Some people in the crowd who knew the market looked at the fire in the distance with dull eyes, and muttered: "More than 3,000 boxes, more than 2,300 taels per box, the current market price is 30 yuan / tael, and more than 200 million ...... have been burned this time."

"How much is more than 200 million?" Some citizens are uneducated and do not know how much this "100 million" is.

Someone who understood next to him explained: "It's more than two hundred million yuan!" ”

Yes......?! I don't know how many onlookers were stunned!

Immediately, a loud noise erupted at the scene......

Such a powerful news naturally spread extremely fast, and in less than an hour, even the entire Shanghai and Haihai people knew that the concession police station had set fire to all the tobacco and soil worth hundreds of millions of dollars that had been confiscated before!

People from all walks of life who heard the news were frightened...... Don't think about it, this must be the handiwork of Commander Pan Sen and Director Pan Sen! More than 200 million tobacco soil, say burn it!

People with justice in their hearts all give a thumbs up and praise the "atmosphere", this is no longer the realm of "treating money as dung", but destroying hundreds of millions of gold for the sake of righteousness, and its merits can be traced back to Lin Wenzhonggong!

Many factions in power who are concerned about the political situation in Shanghai are silent at first, and then they have to sigh "This son has self-denial so far, he will become a great weapon, and he should not be taken lightly"!

The swan boys who are engaged in tobacco and soil are screaming in pain, "Kill me"! Especially those "cargo owners", all of a sudden all hope is gone, and they all vomit blood! ——

More than 3,000 boxes and more than 200 tons of tobacco and soil, even if there is a large amount of kerosene to burn, burned from noon to night, from beginning to end, citizens continue to watch, and the riot police officers on duty have been changed three batches!

When the fire was slowly extinguished, the news of the Bund cigarette sales had spread out of Shanghai and all over Central China, and some people even telegraphed the matter to the whole country, causing a shock that completely exceeded Li Junhao's expectations, making him a little embarrassed.

In fact, in order to get the life-saving morphine preparation, Li Junhao intercepted as much as ninety percent of the tobacco soil, and in order to ensure that the number of 3,000 boxes was gathered, he specially prepared a large amount of sawdust, gypsum and other materials, mixed with the real tobacco soil, so that the burned remnants resembled tobacco residues.

When the fire was extinguished, some onlookers wanted to rush over to see if they could find the smoke that had not yet burned out, but the new instructions brought by a group of new riot police officers drove back the crowd that rushed forward, and commanded two more fire trucks to come forward and spray kerosene again...... Keep burning!

For this kind of behavior, the cigarette dealers scolded "too ruthless", while others thought of another phrase: "Eliminate evil"! Don't you know that this is an insurance measure made by Li Junhao in order to cover up the traces.

——

When the fire on the Bund began to ignite in the morning, the mid-month meeting of the Ministry of Industry had not yet ended, and all the directors and department heads who received the news were secretly frightened, many of them secretly screamed in their hearts, while others were convinced by His Excellency Pan Sen; And Willis of the California Foreign Bank is even already worshipping, while Hua Dong Zheng Yue, He Fengmin and others are very relieved, feeling that they have no trust!

The acting consul general and the new general Dong Xien looked at Pan Sen, who was sitting first on the right, with a wry smile, and deeply felt that if nothing else, he had lost to this young man in resisting the temptation of monetary interests!

Before the board of directors concluded, Sheehan proposed that the new deputy consul general and military attaché, commander of the joint forces, and chief of police, Colonel Panson, be co-opted as the new deputy consul general and military attaché of the U.S. Consulate, and the board of directors was unanimously approved.

——

After the meeting, when Li Junhao left the building of the Ministry of Industry, all the staff saluted respectfully, and the same was true when they returned to the military camp in Jiaozhou Park!

The views of all his subordinates are the same - his own commander is too domineering, he is not moved in the face of hundreds of millions of huge goods, and he burns harmful things with a fire, this kind of ethics is more than 99% of the people, and he is definitely not bad for his subordinates!

Li Junhao is not too proud, he has the intention of deceiving in this matter, and he can't afford these high-profile praises. What he is thinking about now is that since there is a large amount of coffee, it is necessary to strengthen the level of ambulance of the troops.

At present, in the main regiment, a reinforced company has nearly 200 medical personnel, which is far from enough, and he plans to invite surgeons from major hospitals to come to the military camp to hold training courses, focusing on battlefield ambulance, hemostatic treatment, emergency bandaging, and other skills, and then each regiment will build a field hospital, which can perform surgeries and save lives.

If possible, this measure will also be extended to the National Army Self-Defense Corps.

He believes that as long as he does more in battlefield ambulance, he can save more soldiers, save their lives, and prevent them from being disabled, which is much more effective than those things that are empty and brainless.

Now that you have enough morphine, you can configure a first-aid kit, morphine injections, cotton wool packs, hemostatic powder, bandage rolls, simple surgical instruments, sutures, painkillers, etc., and at critical times, the first-aid kit can save the soldier's life, so you must prepare in advance.

In addition, he is now aware of some shortcomings in the previous construction of troops, focusing on logistics, not only food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but also the most important ammunition supply in the battle.

In the modern armies of later generations, the logistical auxiliary strength even reached one-third or even higher of the entire army, and although it is not yet that level, one-fifth to one-quarter is still needed.

There is also the formation of air defense forces that also need to be put on the agenda, and his idea is to use the existing police armored vehicle chassis to transform a self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery vehicle in the system mall for mobile air defense; Of course, in order to improve the early warning time, the kind of radar used on the Lingyun fighter also needs to be developed in two units and two radar vehicles should be formed......

Well, there are also Japanese planes at several airports in Shanghai, and they should find a way to knock them out first......

It would be nice if the main force of the Asian fleet could also be moved to the Shanghai Sea and make up for the shortcomings of coastal defense!
