"Mu Qinghong?" Tang Cheng secretly recited the woman's name in his heart, but he had no intention of going to Jiangbei in person. Even if this woman had a close relationship with Sun Changhai, Tang Cheng still planned to hand this woman over to Zhao Dashan and the others. response. The matter of continuing to pursue Sun Changhai was completely left to Zhao Dashan and the others to deal with it on their own. Tang Cheng was completely idle. But like Zhang Jianghe, he had a restless temper, so Tang Cheng went outside the city again. labor camp.
Tang Cheng came to the labor camp not to find a quiet place to plan a new round of crackdowns, but to select the manpower needed for the search team from those undergoing forced transformation in the labor farm. According to Tang Cheng's previous thoughts, he would rather recruit young students or unsuccessful soldiers in the army than to have his search team filled with gangsters and gangsters. But Zhang Jianghe's suggestion is not unreasonable. Compared with student soldiers, these local gangsters and gang members are more familiar with the street conditions in Chongqing.
What Tangcheng needs now is eyes and ears that can provide it with information, not soldiers who can enforce orders and prohibitions on the battlefield. Moreover, Tangcheng can manage the eyes and ears that collect intelligence separately from the specific operational personnel. After the Intelligence Division was renamed as Juntong, in order to replenish manpower, Juntong also broke the rules and recruited a large number of gang members and Jianghu people to supplement intelligence eyes and peripheral members. Compared with the overall situation of the military command, Tang Cheng's search team was nothing to mention. Knowing what Zhang Jiang and He were worried about, Tang Cheng could only hold his nose and come to the labor camp to select people.
The labor reform farms on the outskirts of the city are no longer what they were when they were founded in Tangcheng. The current labor reform farms have not only increased the planting area of crops, but also gradually expanded the area of vegetable fields and tea gardens. When Tang Cheng arrived at the labor camp, he happened to catch up with the pig slaughter. The scene of more than a dozen fat pigs being slaughtered together looked very spectacular, and Tang Cheng watched it with gusto. The reform-through-labor farm is currently running well and has basically been able to achieve equal revenue and expenditure. When this year's new grain harvest comes in, the situation will be even better.
Like Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng didn't like being surrounded by a group of people all the time. After driving away several farm stewards around him, Tang Cheng started walking around the farm with a roster. The rosters at the labor camps all carry photos and indicate basic information about the subjects being forced, including their specialties. The first person Tang Cheng went to find was a gangster named Liu Meng. Although this guy had never done anything too bad, he was always involved in sneaking around.
"Are you Liu Meng?" When Liu Meng, who was smelling of sweat, was called over from the vegetable field, he had no idea what was going on, especially when Tang Cheng was wearing a thin coat, a holster and a pistol at his waist. Anyone who is not a fool can see it. Seeing that Liu Meng was just staring at the pistol at his waist, Tang Cheng simply reached out and lifted up his shirt, allowing Liu Meng to see more clearly. "Do you want to try a shot?" Tang Cheng's smile made Liu Meng look happy, and he nodded so frequently that Tang Cheng was a little worried that this guy would break his neck.
"We will talk about this later. Please answer my question first. Are you Liu Meng?" Tang Cheng had already compared the photos on the roster, so naturally he would not identify the wrong person, but Tang Cheng still repeated the question just now. The people who came to pick today will probably be his team members in the future. Tang Cheng cannot just pick his team members hastily based on a casual relationship. The search team will face vicious Japanese spies, as well as traitors and scum who will jump over the wall when trouble comes. If they choose their subordinates, the lives of other people may be affected.
Tang Cheng looked tender, but he was carrying a pistol. It was true that Liu Meng was a gangster, but he was not brainless either. Naturally, he could tell that Tang Cheng was not an ordinary person. After Liu Meng came back to his senses and reported his home, Tang Cheng continued to ask, "I heard that you once had a master who slipped through the door and picked the lock. I will give you a chance now. If you can guarantee that your master will slip through the door." You have learned all the tools for picking locks, and you can leave from here tomorrow."
Liu Meng has never committed any serious crimes, but he always makes small mistakes. After the first round of severe crackdowns in the city, Liu Meng was sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor reform. He has served less than a year in prison. He had never heard of any prisoner being released early because he could slip through the door and pick the lock. Liu Meng, who turned his attention away from the gun holster on Tang Cheng's waist, felt stupid again. Liu Meng's reaction made Tang Cheng secretly curl his lips, thinking that this guy must be a brainless person!
"I am not as powerful as my master, and I also promised my mother that I will not do the things my master did in the future." Liu Meng was straightforward. After he understood what Tang Cheng meant, he kept shaking his head. There are more than 200 prisoners captured from the city in the labor camp. Not one more Liu Meng is too many, and not one less Liu Meng is not too few. When Tang Cheng saw Liu Meng shaking his head, he put away the roster and left. He didn't have time to spend time with this fool.
Liu Meng looked at Tang Cheng's back and couldn't help but scratch his head. At this moment, he didn't know that he had lost an opportunity to get ahead. There were more than 200 forced labor reform subjects detained in the labor camp. It took Tangcheng a whole day to select 30 people with special skills among these 200 people. Among the 30 people Tang Cheng finally selected, there were many roosters and dog robbers, and it was these people's rooster and dog robber skills that Tang Cheng was interested in.
"Captain Tang, you can't do this! The most lacking thing in the farm right now is manpower. If you have to transfer 30 people, won't the manpower gap be even bigger!" The manager who manages the farm is not only a native of Chongqing, but also a family member. He was also close to the leader of the garrison, so when talking to Tang Cheng, he didn't have the same concerns as others. When Tang Cheng heard this, he was not angry because of the other party's words. Instead, he looked at the other party and chuckled.
"Don't worry, Manager Wu. In a few days, I guarantee you will have to worry about too many manpower!" Tangcheng plans to implement a second round of severe crackdowns and has not informed the defense team yet, but Manager Wu is not without ideas. Yes, Manager Wu immediately understood it just by looking at the gesture Tang Cheng made towards him. "The specific time has not been set yet. You'd better pretend not to know about it, otherwise the news will leak out."
Tang Cheng couldn't bear to look at the other party's mean face, so he pretended to be serious and explained to the other party in a low voice. The latter nodded hastily in agreement, already calculating in his mind how many manpower the farm lacked to be able to take care of it. The 30 people selected by Tangcheng will leave the farm to report to the military camp tomorrow. These people were originally unstable factors on the streets. Tangcheng plans to give them a short-term military training first to kill the gangster aura in them.
"Let me remind you, these people are naughty at heart. If you want to make good use of them, you must have the means and cruelty to control them." Zhang Jianghe learned that Tang Cheng had selected people from labor camps, He immediately warned Tang Cheng. In Zhang Jianghe's view, although these people selected by Tangcheng from the labor reform farms have all undergone forced labor for a period of time, gangsters are gangsters, and Zhang Jianghe firmly believes in the saying that the country can be changed but the nature cannot be changed.
Tang Cheng lay lazily on the sofa opposite Zhang Jianghe. Tang Cheng had already been mentally prepared for Zhang Jianghe's reminder, but he did not intend to accept it all. "Uncle, the people I picked are all locals. They all have family members living in Chongqing. The Japanese spies lurking in Chongqing threaten not only the military and government departments, but also those living in the city. Common people, including their families.”
"Working for the police may go against their so-called moral principles, but if it's for their own family, I don't think they will refuse." A look of complete control appeared on Tang Cheng's face. "The people who are imprisoned in the labor camp are not really evil people. It's just trivial matters like stealing, fighting, fighting, and hurting people. As long as they are not traitors and scum, I dare to use them, and I am not afraid that they will betray me."
Tang Cheng's attitude was very resolute, and Zhang Jianghe also knew that Tang Cheng was not a person with no plans. Seeing Tang Cheng's persistence, Zhang Jianghe no longer struggled with the matter. "Uncle, the labor camp outside the city is short of too many people. I have to transfer 30 more people, and the farm is even more short of people. Are we going to start preparing for what I told you last time? There has been a lot of chaos in the city during this time, and if we catch a few more people, it will be a good thing both for public and private purposes."
Tang Cheng came to Zhangjianghe after leaving the labor camp. In order to persuade Zhangjianghe to agree to implement the second round of crackdown, the search team is currently short of manpower, and the one who takes the lead in the crackdown must be the Chongqing station. "I don't have anything going on here right now, so I can use it to regulate the public security environment in the city. I also thought that I could use this opportunity to sort out the area south of the city and the dock."
Tang Cheng knew that Zhang Jianghe might not agree if he only talked about a severe crackdown, so he brought up the south of the city and the dock. The personnel in these two places were the most complex, and they were the usual key prevention areas for the search team and Chongqing Station. Sure enough, when Tang Cheng mentioned the south of the city and the dock, Zhang Jianghe, who had been dealing with prevarication, immediately became energetic.
"Whatever you do, I don't care about the specifics, but you must promise me that this time you will never be as fussy as last time." After saying this, Zhang Jianghe turned to Tangcheng very dissatisfied. He rolled his eyes. "If I hadn't taken care of everything last time, and the results turned out to be pretty good afterwards, those idle guys in the city government might have already filed a complaint with the chairman."
