Early the next morning, when Huang Ping sent someone to deliver the note left by Tang Cheng to the superiors of the organization, Tang Cheng had already appeared in the office of the Bureau of Military Command Headquarters. "I want to be the banker because I want to take advantage of this opportunity to temporarily control the black market of arms, manipulate the prices of arms on the black market, and force out those stinky fish and rotten shrimps who are doing things secretly." In front of the bureau chief, Tang Cheng was still talking about yesterday. Regarding what Zhang Jianghe explained, just looking at the reaction of the bureau chief, it seems that he has already guessed something.
But Tang Cheng could keep his composure. No matter how the bureau chief stared at him, Tang Cheng still gave the same explanation. "The arms black market in the city has always been very chaotic. Just from what our search team has confirmed, we know that people from the Central Military Commission and the army are involved. Those robe brothers I met yesterday are actually low-ranking little characters. , most of the goods bought and sold in the black market are old second-hand goods, and the buyers are mostly the rich gentry from the caravans in Sichuan and Yunnan, and maybe some bandits. Small characters like this will never dare to follow The Japanese and puppet spies have business dealings, and what we are looking for are those who are hiding behind the scenes but want to make big things happen."
"In order to rectify the black market arms, in a short period of time, those hiding behind the scenes will not show up at all. But if we control the price of black market arms and the scale of the black market arms business, those who have been hiding behind the scenes will inevitably be affected. Although the black market There is still a lot of business, but there are not many people involved in the black market arms business. Without a way to make money, those who rely on the black market arms to support their families will be the first to cause trouble."
"What we have to do is to control the price and scale of the arms on the black market, and then, like passing through a sieve, we will make a big wave and sift out all the Japanese and puppet spies and traitors and scum hiding in the middle." Tangcheng did not give details. What he is talking about now is actually just a big picture for the bureau chief. As for the specific details, they still need to be discussed carefully between Tangcheng and the bureau. After listening to Tang Cheng's suggestion, the bureau chief fell into deep thought. It was impossible not to be tempted, but what the bureau chief was worried about was whether the implementation of the specific plan would take too long.
Tang Cheng used the corner of his eye to see the distress of the director at the moment, and then continued. "The position of the bureau and the length of time actually have no impact on us. On the contrary, controlling the arms black market will be of great benefit to us. At least we can control the flow of arms in disguise. There is less arms circulation in the city. First of all It will be helpful to public security, and those mountain bandits and water thieves who want to buy arms can be regarded as registered with us!" Tang Cheng's reminder made the director's eyes light up, this matter indeed has more advantages than disadvantages!
If Tang Cheng wants to be the leader, he must get the support of the bureau leader, otherwise he will not be able to pass the central unification test. Seeing that the bureau chief had been talked through, Tang Cheng took out the list he had made before and handed it to the bureau chief, "Bureau Chief, we can't rectify the arms black market without doing something about it. These arms dealers are all fundamental The ones with extremely bad feet and the ones with circles on their names are the white gloves of the Central Commander-in-Chief in the arms black market, I want to take action on them first!"
Seeing the list that Tang Cheng came up with, the bureau chief's first reaction was that Tang Cheng had already planned everything. However, because Tang Cheng always consulted his own attitude in everything, the bureau chief did not get angry. After carefully reading the list, the bureau chief picked up a pen and crossed out a few names from the list. Although Bureau Zuo did not give an explanation, Tang Cheng already understood what Bureau Zuo meant. It was thought that these guys crossed out by Bureau Zuo should be related to the military commander.
With the support of the bureau chief, that afternoon, Tangcheng led people to round up most of the arms dealers on the list, many of whom were related to the Central Government. "Uncle, don't worry so much! I have already shown this list to the bureau chief. Without his consent, how could I have arrested people so quickly!" The prisoners were escorted back to the military camp in Tangcheng. When Zhang Jianghe was called to his office, Zhang Jianghe was obviously worried that Tang Cheng's move would offend the backers behind these arms dealers.
But Tang Cheng didn't care at all. What he had to do now was to control the arms black market as soon as possible. Only in this way could he achieve his desired goal. Zhang Jianghe also saw the expression on Tang Cheng's face. He knew that he could not make Tang Cheng change his decision. Since this matter was approved by the bureau chief, Zhang Jianghe no longer struggled with it. In just three days, all members of the search team were dispatched and almost all the arms dealers engaged in arms trading in Chongqing were arrested.
Those Pao Ge bosses who had previously sold all their inventory to Tang Cheng have truly learned Tang Cheng’s ability to keep their word. If they had not received the news from Tang Cheng in advance, perhaps they should have been part of the search team now. In the prison, he was eating cornstarch. The search teams were making a lot of noise arresting people everywhere, not to mention that among the arms dealers who were arrested, there were also white gloves from Zhongtong. Therefore, the bureau chief quickly received many calls to intercede, but he ignored them all.
After hearing the news, Tang Cheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately arranged for manpower to send part of the interrogation records and the seized arms to the military command headquarters for submission. "Director, this is just a partial confession and temporarily seized arms! We have almost arrested the people, and the next step is the specific interrogation work! I am here this time, there is one more thing, and I want to hear your opinion, Director !" Tang Cheng came to the military command headquarters in person, naturally not to deliver those confessions and temporarily detained arms. He came this time to seek support from the military commander.
"Secretary, we have already caught almost all the arms dealers in the city who are engaged in arms trading. If we just want to control the arms black market, we need to come forward like the white gloves placed by the Central Government in the black market, otherwise we will have no way to control it. Information about those buyers. You also know that my people wander around the city all day long, and those who can take action are almost mature. If I send them to act as white gloves, someone will definitely find out the truth. I I was just thinking, can I borrow a few people from the headquarters?”
Tang Cheng didn't speak clearly, but the bureau chief had already understood what Tang Cheng meant. When he looked at Tang Cheng, his eyes fell on the list in his hand, and the bureau chief burst into laughter. "I know you are a smart man!" The director said this to make sure that Tang Cheng had figured out his intention of crossing out those names from the list, so he stopped trying to be mysterious. "The ones I crossed off the list have always been helping the military commander. Since you need people there, I'll ask someone to arrange for them to find you."
Among them, Tang Cheng, who came to seek help, did not expect that the bureau chief would be so easy to talk to, and his support was not small. Just as Tang Cheng, who had achieved his goal, was about to leave the compound of the military command headquarters, he happened to see a black car driving into the compound. His heart moved and he immediately slowed down. After he saw the person who got out of the car clearly, Tang Cheng couldn't help but think about it secretly, because he recognized the person who got out of the car.
Although Tang Cheng had no contact with this middle-aged man, Tang Cheng had seen this middle-aged man before when the plainclothes commander tried to break into his house. Tang Cheng did not admit the wrong person. The middle-aged man who came out of the black car was from Zhongtong. The purpose of this guy coming to the Military Command Headquarters is to learn about the search team's sudden arrest of arms dealers. It is obvious that the Central Command has determined that the search team's actions are inseparable from the Military Command Headquarters.
Tang Cheng had no excuse to stay in the compound of the military command headquarters. He just silently wrote down the license plate of the black car and left the compound immediately. People from Zhongtong came to visit, and it was obvious that they were up to no good. In Tangcheng, where the plan had been rolled out, there was no time to waste here. After leaving the military command headquarters, Tang Cheng immediately returned to the military camp. If the captured arms dealers were carefully interrogated, they might be able to squeeze out some oil and water, which could just supplement the daily expenses of the search team.
While Tangcheng was still on the way back to the military camp, a call from the bureau chief had already been made to Zhang Jianghe's office. Zhang Jianghe, who answered the phone, learned that the purpose of the call from the bureau chief was to let him go, and he immediately understood that someone from the bureau chief must have come to intercede. Zhang Jianghe, who had a tacit understanding with the bureau chief, heard that the bureau chief's tone was wrong, and immediately started to argue with the bureau chief on the phone.
Zhang Jianghe's various excuses and ink-tamps have only one actual purpose. It is not impossible to release him, but the efforts of the search team cannot be in vain. "Zhang Jianghe, you are just a money bag! Let me tell you, don't make a mistake. Release him immediately. I will go over and watch you release him in person?" The bureau officer on the other side of the phone was already holding back in his heart. He smiled, but he still pretended to scold Zhang Jianghe.
"Secretary, you have really wronged me!" Zhang Jianghe, who was on the other end of the phone, did not hear the hint he wanted from the tone of the bureau, so he continued to complain about his grievances. "So many people in the search team have been busy working on this matter for several days! Didn't you see that our people even had mortars in their hands among the heavy firepower weapons they searched from the scene? Although the three shells we found have been scrapped, their nature is extremely bad. If someone hides the shells secretly, it will be a big incident!"
The mortar Zhang Jianghe mentioned was actually an old cannon that had long been out of use. Zhang Jianghe was talking about this mortar because he actually wanted to give the bureau chief a polite excuse. Excuse. After all, a mortar with three shells appeared in the arms black market in Chongqing. This is no small matter. The person from the Central Command who was still in the bureau's office didn't know the specific situation. Now that he heard Zhang Jianghe mention mortars on the phone, his expression instantly became weird.
