3166. Chapter 3166
Author: Zero Romance
Hangzhou, which has a history of thousands of years, has long been the most prosperous big city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang even without the addition of the title of the future capital of Haihan. Whether it is a settled population or a floating population, the scale of Hangzhou is far greater than that of Sanya.
In such a big city with hundreds of thousands of people, tracking down and arresting several target persons whose appearance is unclear is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Not to mention before tomorrow, even if we give it two or three more days, we may not be able to complete such an arduous task.
The only way to slightly improve the efficiency of the search is probably to close the city immediately.
Not only must all water and land passages in and out of the city be closed, but also the movement of people in the city must be stopped, and then door-to-door searches must be carried out. Only then can the whereabouts of these assassins be screened out in the shortest possible time.
"Sir Dai, if we want to seal off the city and arrest people, what do you say?" Gong Shiqi asked Dai Chengrong, who came in a hurry.
The Security Department has limited manpower, and they are all in plainclothes. Even to round up the suspects previously, the city defense army needed to send people to help blockade the neighborhood, let alone carry out the task of blocking the city.
According to Wang Yuan's confession, he was able to transport those boxes into the city precisely because of the negligence of the city defense army during the inspection. Obviously, such an important task as sealing off the city and arresting people cannot be left to the city defense army.
.
The 2nd Regiment of the 7th Lu Division under Dai Chengrong was a serious combat force, and it was also the garrison force prepared by Shi Diwen after he established Hangzhou as the capital. The quality of its soldiers was definitely more reliable than that of the city defense force, which was only responsible for daily security.
The most important thing is that this unit is stationed just outside Hangzhou, and can be mobilized most quickly. As long as an order is given, the troops can enter the city within an hour. If we want to seal the city and arrest people, we must not do without the leadership of the regiment leader Dai Chengrong.
assist.
But Dai Chengrong obviously still has doubts about Gong Qiqi's action plan: "Sir Gong, closing the city is not a trivial matter. Once the city is closed, the entire city will stop functioning. This is not a small county town, but hundreds of thousands of people."
The big city is not in wartime right now, so how can we just seal it off?"
"In addition, before our department carries out any armed action, it must first obtain clear instructions from the Donghai Region Combat Command. Otherwise, if I privately order troops to close the city, how is this any different from rebellion in the eyes of others?"
Of course Gong Shiqi also understood Dai Chengrong's concerns, nodded and said: "Then please send a telegram immediately to Mr. Shi for instructions. If this matter is delayed for a moment, there will be more risks. I hope Mr. Dai can consider the stakes.
clear."
Although the Ministry of Security is a privileged department, it has no affiliation with the Haihan Army, and it cannot direct the actions of the Haihan Army. Gong Shiqi's words are actually suspected of crossing the line. If it were anyone else, I am afraid he would not listen to him at all.
Opinion.
However, Dai Chengrong and Gong Qi Qi have been acquaintances for many years, so they must be given some face. To be serious, Gong Qi Qi can be regarded as one of the guides for Dai Chengrong to join the Haihan Army.
Twenty years ago, Gong Shiqi and Ji Yuanqing went to Yangzhou to deal with the battle between local salt merchant factions. Dai Chengrong, a son of a salt merchant, met them at that time, and the two sides cooperated to defeat the Shanshan and Shaanxi salt merchants. Dai Chengrong later became the
Under their recommendation, he joined the Haihan Army.
Dai Chengrong said these words openly, but he was actually helping Gong Qiqi. As long as the military did not express opposition to this matter, it would be much easier to implement it.
When the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau saw Gong Qiqi looking at him, he immediately expressed his attitude: "If the city is to be closed, I need to ask my superiors for instructions. Please forgive me, Mr. Gong!"
Gong Shiqi frowned and said, "When can Ji Yuanqing get here?"
The man responded: "Master Ji has set off from Zhoushan early this morning and is expected to arrive in Hangzhou tonight at the earliest."
Gong Shiqi snorted, not satisfied with the Military Intelligence Bureau's attitude.
When he met with Ji Yuanqing in Zhoushan earlier, he had emphasized the importance of the Zhu Zhongyun case, but at that time Ji Yuanqing said that the information at hand was limited and the Military Intelligence Bureau was unable to conduct an in-depth investigation of the case.
Gong Shiqi had only arrived in Hangzhou for more than a day and had already found traces of Zhu Zhongyun. Although the clue to Wang Yuan was a result of accidental luck, it also shows that as long as he is willing to calm down and investigate carefully,
, you will never get nothing.
If the Military Intelligence Agency had paid sufficient attention to this case from the beginning and used enough resources to investigate, perhaps Zhu Zhongyun would not have had the opportunity to implement these follow-up actions in Hangzhou and would not have dragged this case to the current level.
An unmanageable situation.
If the Military Intelligence Agency's actions had to wait until Ji Yuanqing arrived before making a decision, it would have to take another half a day. On the battlefield, this would be delaying the fighter's opportunity.
Taking advantage of the presence of people from various local yamen, Gong Shiqi asked everyone to quickly make a total calculation. If the city is to be closed down next, how should all parties cooperate to try to reduce the negative impact of this case.
If you want to ban a big city like Hangzhou, you must take into account the sentiments of the local people.
Of course, the government can use the excuse of investigating serious cases and apprehending fugitives to close the city, but what should they do if the arrest process does not go smoothly and the task cannot be completed overnight.
Once the city is closed, the suspects hiding in the city will definitely receive the news. After alerting the enemy, it will not be easy to arrest people in the form of a surprise arrest just now.
What is more likely to happen is that investigators will encounter armed criminals somewhere in the city and start a fierce battle.
For example, the field team of the Ministry of Security is only equipped with a revolver as its main weapon. If it wants to fight against gangsters armed with rifles, its firepower will definitely suffer.
When the fighting starts, no one can guarantee how many casualties there will be, and innocent people may be involved.
If the case still cannot be concluded by tomorrow morning, then you need to consider whether the executive committee's schedule should be rescheduled.
According to the original plan, after the executive committee arrived in Hangzhou by boat, it would openly enter the city from the east and receive a warm welcome from the local people.
Although Hangzhou has prepared a grand welcome ceremony for this, it is very likely that it will become a place for gangsters to launch attacks.
Considering the personal safety of senior officials, it may be the most appropriate way to cancel the welcome ceremony and arrange for the executive committee to stay directly at the guest house on the bank of the West Lake.
But Gong Shiqi is still worried that the executive committee will not accept such an arrangement.
This is a rare collective trip for the Executive Committee in recent years. It is also the first time to visit the future capital, and it is also celebrating the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. How could such a beautiful trip be ruined because of a few thieves causing trouble?
