In February, the breath of spring began to blow in the ancient city of Taiyuan. The remaining snow on the ground melted, new branches sprouted on the trees, and the sunshine finally broke through the hazy winter clouds, once again blessing this historical ancient city.
On this day, a group of police officials, large and small, welcomed a small black car at the gate of Taiyuan Police Station. It was Zhou Wen who came to inspect the Taiyuan Police Station, which had just been placed under the jurisdiction of the Security Department. Originally, before the Spring Festival, Zhou Wen, as the new direct superior, should come to visit and express condolences, but when it came to asking a few death row prisoners to do new drug experiments, he needed to understand the situation from multiple parties first. Now that he was well aware of the basic situation of the police station, Zhou Wen decided to come to inspect today.
In fact, it wasn't just Zhou Wen who wanted to know about the situation in the police station, the police chief also had a back-up. He also tried his best to find out about the young colonel's origins and preferences through various connections. At that time, it was impossible to sit in the high position of police chief of a provincial city without a backstage.
But when he learned about the background of the director and some of his actions, all the little thoughts he had about deceiving the master disappeared. Just kidding, he is a brother-in-law with the party commissioner and the commander of the garrison headquarters. He has a close relationship with the Northeast Army commissioner and many foreigners. He returned to Lishi to save his father in crisis and used ruthless methods to destroy his enemies. Even the backstage person repeatedly warned me not to provoke this upstart, so how could I dare to have other thoughts again.
The director looked at Zhou Wen's spring-like smile and amiable conversation, as approachable as the big boy next door. But when he asked about various work situations, he got straight to the point, highlighted the theme, and was never muddled. When tasks are assigned, he doesn't become angry or intimidating. His calm and calm face seems to hide a sharp sword, making people afraid to disobey him.
The police chief was also a man with rich experience and had dealt with all kinds of people. He knew that the young colonel in front of him, who looked at people and animals harmlessly, was a hard-to-offend smiling tiger. Once such a person turned against him, the consequences would be unimaginable. Now I was even more cautious about making promises, for fear that if I didn't respond properly, I would be disgraced and fired.
In fact, Zhou Wen had no intention of rectifying the police department. The police station of this era can be said to be a textbook that contains all the darkness of society, but Zhou Wen has no intention and no ability to change it. In his private investigation, the Taiyuan Police Department is not too dark. After all, during the more than ten years that Marshal Yan ruled Shanxi, no matter how big his political ambitions or selfish desires were, he treated the people under his rule much better than other warlords. Under his strict control, officials at all levels of the police station did not dare to go too far in corrupt practices, perverting the law, and preying on the common people.
Zhou Wen's inspection had two purposes.
The first is to intimidate and win over. Anyway, I don't intend to interfere too much, so there is no need to adjust the personnel and make people panic. But the majesty and means that should be there still need to be revealed. We must prevent these old-timers who are accustomed to watching people's actions and making decisions according to the current situation from daring to push their noses and faces, and just do whatever they want.
Second, a task was assigned, which was to conduct a household registration survey throughout the city. Every branch and every police station (a police agency already had a police station during the Republic of China, and some places were also called branch stations) must be completed within a one-month time limit. If someone really dares to cheat and fool himself, he doesn't mind killing a chicken to scare the monkey and punishing a few representatives who are ignorant of current affairs for everyone to see.
Zhou Wen wants to register his household registration to prepare against Japanese spies in the future. He knew that the situation of the Japanese spying on intelligence throughout China and setting up radio stations openly in the name of business would be under control after the September 18th Incident. By that time, many commercial radio stations in Japan will be subject to strict control and monitoring. Many Japanese spies and intelligence organizations will move from semi-public to underground. At that time, the intelligence war and espionage war between China and Japan that lasted for more than ten years really began.
Zhou Wen also knew that because Marshal Yan had studied in Japan, he had always had certain illusions about the Japanese. As a result, he did not pay attention to the infiltration of Japanese spies into Shanxi in the early stages of the Anti-Japanese War. There were even Japanese spies among the senior staff in his command. As a result, in the famous Taiyuan Battle in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese had a clear understanding of the Chinese army's deployment and deployment, and made targeted arrangements. At only a small cost, the hundreds of thousands of Jinsui troops who were relatively well-equipped were defeated and retreated, and they easily occupied Taiyuan, and then almost all of Shanxi.
Even most of the machinery and equipment in the Taiyuan Arsenal were seized by the Japanese before they could be transported away. They were eventually transported to Japan or the Shenyang Arsenal in Northeast China, where Chinese machines were used to manufacture weapons and ammunition to massacre the Chinese. This is really the tragedy of Chinese history.
We must know that the nearly 300,000 Chinese officers and soldiers who participated in the Taiyuan Battle are not unheroic and tenacious. Despite the various battle arrangements and being controlled by the enemy, hundreds of thousands of soldiers continued to fight without fear of sacrifice. They caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army in the Battle of Pingxingguan, the Battle of Xinkou, the Battle of Niangziguan, and the Battle of Taiyuan. But he also paid a heavy price with hundreds of thousands of casualties.
And most of the casualties were veterans and elites who had been in the army for many years. This also directly caused the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the entire Jinsui Army to plummet in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, and they no longer displayed the spirit of indomitable and desperate fighting that they had in the Taiyuan Battle.
Zhou Wen must take precautions now. When the situation changes, he can take the lead in taking effective actions in Taiyuan and even Shanxi to attack Japanese intelligence organizations and spies. Try to minimize the huge losses caused by the leakage of intelligence to the Chinese army in Shanxi in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.
Of course, Zhou Wen would not explain these reasons to a few police officials, but he repeatedly reiterated that this is an important responsibility of the Taiyuan Police Department in recent years, and a system must be formed. From now on, a round of household registration will be carried out every year, so that the police in each district have a good understanding of the residents in their jurisdiction, and the security department will go to each branch or police station from time to time to conduct spot checks. Once any carelessness or slackness is discovered, the employee will be dismissed on the spot. In serious cases, they may be punished with dereliction of duty.
Zhou Wen then told several police chiefs that he would immediately apply for funds and equipment from the provincial government to improve everyone's treatment and logistics. Zhou Wen still understands the principle of letting the horse eat grass in order to let it run.
After Zhou Wen's tactics of stick and carrot were revealed, everyone in the police station understood the truth. This superior officer has no intention of touching everyone's official positions, and will not plant any cronies to cause trouble for you. He will also apply for funds and funds from his superiors. Equipment comes to give you more money and benefits. But you must do what he asks and do it well, otherwise you will be shameless and court death. This is human nature. If I give you face, you should also give me face, right? Otherwise...hehe!
