The problem of the Qing Gang has a long history in Shanghai, and can even be traced back to the Cao Gang in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In fact, the modern Youth Gang evolved from the Cao Gang in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but after entering Shanghai, this gang has undergone qualitative changes and began to evolve into a political force that cannot be ignored.
Like Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong and even Zhang Xiaolin, they all have official endorsements.
But this does not mean that the Green Gang has been bleached, and it does not mean that those in power have begun to accept and identify with the Green Gang.
To put it bluntly, both the Beiyang government and the national government only use the Qingbang as a night pot, and use it when you want to use it, and when you don't want to use it, you think it is too smelly, and you can't wait to smash it, just because this night pot is too full, if you really smash it, you have to splash a room of urine, then there is no way to live in it.
This is the case with the National Government, and even more so with the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Concession.
Although to a certain extent, the Green Gang assisted the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Concession to maintain law and order, so that the order of the Concession would not collapse, but from a higher level, the Green Gang was actually a major scourge of the Concession, and it has always been so.
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Concession has a motive to eradicate the Green Gang once and for all.
It's just that the Ministry of Industry of the Concession doesn't have the ability, so it hasn't been done.
But now, the strong performance of the Sassoon Guards has given the concession Ministry of Industry an opportunity.
At first, the concession authorities were actually just watching the fire from the other side, but as Huang Jinrong's forces were defeated by the Sassoon Guards, and even the Gongxing Concession was occupied by the Sassoon Guards, the concession authorities immediately changed their views on this matter, and they felt that this was a good opportunity to completely eradicate the Green Gang.
Although the background of the Sassoon Guard is not simple, there is a faint background of the United States.
But so what? At least this is an armed force in the hands of the West.
More importantly, the Sassoon Guards are very disciplined and do not do evil like the Green Gang.
It was precisely because of this that when Sassoon began to become a little overwhelmed, the concession authorities decided to help.
Sassoon sent his butler to look for it, and after a while, George, also known as Zhong Yi, wore a fiery red wig and walked into the large living room on the top floor of Sassoon Building.
Sassoon introduced to Zhong Yi: "George, this is the general director of the Public Concession Ministry of Industry, Sigmund Freud. ”
"Hello Mr. Floyd." Zhong Yi gave a gentleman's salute to Freud in accordance with Western etiquette.
"Captain George, it's a pleasure to meet you." Freud returned a gentlemanly salute and sat down.
"George, that's right." Sassoon, a Jewish profiteer, is also abnormal, no longer making any detours, but saying straight to the point, "After you took action against the Green Gang, the public security situation in both the public and French concessions has greatly improved, and vicious cases such as robbery, kidnapping, and murder have almost disappeared. ”
"But in recent days, the Green Gang has seen a resurgence again." Freud continued, "Therefore, we at the Ministry of Industry and the French Concession hope that you can continue to maintain a high-pressure posture against the Green Gang, and if possible, it is best to completely eradicate the Green Gang forces in the Concession." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Yi almost laughed out loud with a pig cry.
What is it called? He was dozing off, and Floyd brought a pillow.
He was trying to persuade the Ministry of Industry Bureau to give him the lonely military camp, but before he could open his mouth, the Ministry of Industry Bureau came to the door by himself.
He took the initiative to open this mouth and found the other party himself, which is completely different.
It's like a negotiation between the two sides, who is active and who is passive, which directly determines the bargaining chips of both sides.
At that moment, Zhong Yi showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Your Excellency the Chief Director, there is one thing I must declare, our Sassoon Guard is only responsible for the safety of Sir Sassoon, and we have no obligation or responsibility for the security of the Public Concession and the French Concession, after all, the Ministry of Industry of the Concession has not paid us a salary, right?" ”
"Ah, yes, yes." Floyd looked embarrassed and nodded incessantly.
Because what Zhong Yi said is the truth, but it is absolutely impossible for him to promise to pay the salary to the Sassoon Guards, since it is to let the finances of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau bear the burden, then why should they fake the Sassoon Guards? Wouldn't it be better to directly expand the patrol of the patrol room? The salary of Huazhu is much lower than that of the Sassoon Guard.
Zhong Yi said again: "The conflict between the Sassoon Guards and the Green Gang is also because Huang Jinrong's men provoked us first, so we had to fight back, but our target is Huang Jinrong's forces, not the entire Green Gang, after all, our Sassoon Guards are less than 200 people, and it is impossible to deal with the entire Green Gang." ”
"If we don't have enough manpower, we can expand the recruitment." Sassoon followed and persuaded, "You don't have to worry about the salary, the salary standard of the newly recruited team members can be lower, and more importantly, you can also accept the properties of the Green Gang in the two concessions, such as the big smoke house, such as the casino, and those dance hall clubs, these are all industries that make money every day, enough for you to raise tens of thousands of players, of course, the premise is that you have to eradicate the Green Gang in Shanghai." ”
Freud also said: "Sir Sassoon is right, the properties of the Green Gang are very profitable, and I can also speak on behalf of the Public Concession and the French Concession, as long as you eradicate the Green Gang, all the properties that originally belonged to the names of the Qing Gang in the Concession, including the properties under their names, will all belong to the Sassoon Guard." ”
"That's right......" George's face was full of emotion.
Freud was overjoyed and waited for George to agree.
To his disappointment, however, George began to hesitate again.
Sassoon said: "George, with such generous conditions, what else do you have to hesitate about?" ”
After a pause, Sassoon said again: "You came to Shanghai from the United States, isn't it just to make money?" If you really master the underground black industry in the Shanghai Concession, you may even have the opportunity to become the richest man in the United States! ”
"However, there is not enough manpower." George spread his hands and said, "Our guard is now about a hundred people, but there are tens of thousands of young gang disciples in the entire Shanghai, and we can't cope with it at all." ”
Sassoon said: "Didn't I just say, recruit team members!" ”
"It's useless." George shook his head like a rattle, and then continued, "Unless there is an armed force like the Tiger Commandos in Shanghai that we can recruit, we can't recruit ordinary people at all. ”
Freud's heart moved, and he said: "There really is such an armed force in the Public Concession. ”
"Really?" George asked, "Is there such an armed force as the return of the public concession?" What armament? ”
Freud said: "Like the Tiger Commandos you just mentioned, they are also a national army, and they are more numerous than the Tiger Commandos. ”
