At about 10 o'clock, Wang Renqiang rushed to the mansion to report the information, and it was confirmed that the headquarters of Wang Puppet No. 76 agent had completely collapsed under the shelling, and there was not one traitor spy who was resting and on duty that night, and at least 350 people were killed and more than 130 people were seriously injured......

Aggregated news from all sides confirmed that Li Shiqun, the deputy director of No. 76, had died! However, Ding Mo Estate did not stay at No. 76 that night and escaped by luck.

Although Li Junhao didn't say anything, when he saw the happy expressions of the guards, Wang Renqiang was basically sure: This thing was done by the boss! This made him very excited, the boss is amazing, the previous military commander made many efforts, lost a lot of manpower and did not do anything, the boss shot is a heavy artillery bombardment that no one can imagine, well done!

Seeing his expression, Li Junhao knew that he had guessed, and he didn't need to say much about it, but said: "There's nothing to be happy about, mobilize your intelligence force, find out Fu Xiaoyi's whereabouts for me, and he will be next!" ”

"Understood!" Wang Renqiang excitedly agreed. However, he still had two important things to report this time, and said: "Boss, there is such a thing, among those tobacco dealers who are serving labor, someone has reported two important people, one is Sheng Laosi, and the other is Liu Tiedao......"

Well? Li Junhao said: "Sheng Laosi, I know, who is this Liu Tiedart?" ”

"Liu Tiedart is the hall master of the Wanlong Hall of the Pao Brother Association, and he has always served the Liu family in Sichuan Province, and this time he brought a group of 'Sichuan soil' to Shanghai to trade...... Wang Renqiang introduced.

The Liu family? Li Junhao thought of the group of warlords of the same family in Sichuan Province, but he didn't expect their hands to reach out to Huhai!

Li Junhao thought for a while and said, "Let's sentence Sheng Lao Si first!" This Liu Tiedart will let go first, check his situation clearly, I want to know the details of Brother Pao's meeting in Shanghai. ”

"Yes, boss." Wang Renqiang agreed, and then left.

Li Junhao's fingers tapped on the tabletop, thinking in his heart, Sichuan Province, the Liu family, Brother Pao, and Yantu...... How should these links be handled?

It is said that he could have completely ignored these and sentenced them as heavily as he did against the Qing Gang and the Russian Gang, but at this time, he thought of the Sichuan Army, which had made great sacrifices for the Anti-Japanese War, and decided to figure out what was behind it before making a decision. Of course, in any case, the act of trafficking tobacco is unacceptable, and it certainly cannot be done without punishment.

——

On Monday, April 1, the Criminal Court issued a formal verdict on the leading members of the White Russian gangs headed by the "General Association of Russia", in which 42 main offenders were sentenced to death, more than 200 accomplices were sentenced to five to 15 years of hard labor, and more than 100 coerced members were released after education, and the gangs were ordered to disband and confiscate their illegal gains.

During the trial in the previous 10 days, many citizens and reporters were present to listen and know what these gangsters had done, and when they heard that the 42 main culprits had been sentenced to death, they couldn't help but applaud!

When this ruling was published in the newspapers, the citizens of Shanghai were unanimously applauded, even the White Russian group, these gangsters have long become a cancer in the concession, and their oppression and persecution of the White Russians even exceed that of outsiders, so these people were sentenced heavily, and no one will sympathize with them.

The death penalty will be imposed! The result of this ruling is extremely bad news for those forces that have also been arrested, and all sides have started a new round of "rescue" plans, and if they don't think about it, they don't know how many people will be shot, and the rest will be sent to hard labor, which has a terrible impact! ——

The first to come to Li Junhao were the lobbyists invited by the Anglo-Dutch East India Company, British military attaché Admiral Henry Delrent, and Dutch military attache Lieutenant Colonel Asim Buxton, who jointly came to Jiaozhou Park to meet him, the largest power holder in the Shanghai Concession.

When the military attaches of the two countries came to visit, Li Junhao naturally could not refuse to see them, so he asked the two staff officers to go out and welcome the two in, while he personally greeted them in front of the reception room.

Colonel Delrente and Lieutenant Colonel Buxton watched him wait in front of the door from a distance, so they stepped forward quickly, first saluted, and then stepped forward to shake hands - unlike before, the current Li Junhao is the deputy consul general of the United States, the commander of the joint command, and the rank of colonel.

The Anglo-Dutch East India Company was frightened by the decision of the criminal court, and immediately asked the military attachés of the two countries to intercede, stating that they did not want the goods and only wanted to return the people.

Hearing the request of the two military attachés, Li Junhao groaned and considered how to deal with the matter. From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to let go of the East India Company, since the Qing Dynasty, the East India Company was the one who trafficked the most tobacco to China, and it should be destroyed if this company was destroyed; But in the current situation, the U.S. government has to take into account the relationship between traditional allies, which makes it difficult for him to do things without it......

While he was pondering, Lieutenant Colonel Buxton, the Dutch military attaché, feared that he would not agree, and said that the East India Company was willing to pay a certain price in addition to the goods and industries that were currently seized......

Seeing that Buxton had already said all the hole cards, Delrente could only nod.

Li Junhao felt a little ridiculous, he just thought about it for a while, and these two people couldn't hold their breath! Of course, this was beneficial to him, so he smiled and invited the two to tea and listen to what they said at what price?

……

Almost an hour later, Li Junhao got up to see the two military attaches away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very satisfied.

In the name of sponsoring the Self-Defense Corps of the People's Army, the Anglo-Dutch East India Company "donated" 400 British-made Bren light machine guns (a British improved version of the Czech ZB26), 7,000 British 77 rifles, 50 75mm rapid-fire howitzers (imitation of "Miss France"), 700,000 rounds of 7.7mm × 56mm standard infantry/machine gun ammunition, and 5,000 rounds of 75mm artillery shells.

To this end, the Concession Police Department will re-screen the arrested East India Company employees, and it is expected that only the seven most heinous first offenders will be brought before the Tribunal, and the remaining 100 or so will be released after education in the near future......

Li Junhao admitted that he had not done everything to eliminate evil, and for the sake of diplomacy and interests, he spared most of the people in the Shanghai branch of the East India Company, which made him a little unhappy!

Fortunately, in addition to the above weapons and ammunition, he also received a promise that from now on, the East India Company would no longer be allowed to send opium to Huhai - his leverage was not enough to withdraw it from the entire Chinese market!
