After these people escaped from the Three Gorges, they were active in northwest Hubei for a period of time, but the time was not long. For unknown reasons, these people turned to land and turned to water.
It should probably be in the mountains. After all, the waterways are very busy, and they were at the Three Gorges just now, so they may have tasted the sweetness.
After being transferred to the waterway, he has been active in the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake, Yuanjiang River and other places. I don't know if he doesn't know much about the situation on the waterway, or the leader wants to do something, or his activities in Hunan were discovered by the police.
Anyway, after a few years of activity in this area, they quickly fled to other places, traveling along the river to the surrounding areas of Wuhan, and then fled into the Han River, occupying both the river and the mountains, becoming a large group of bandits.
He probably still wanted to occupy the local area, but unfortunately at that time, gangs were raging in the surrounding areas. After the situation calmed down a little, an encirclement and suppression was launched. Seeing the situation, he did not speculate and quickly escaped.
After this, this group of people acted more low-key and no longer thought about occupying the mountain and becoming king. They even dispersed their activities to reduce their goals.
Later, whether because they had robbed capital or something else, these people gradually gave up on robbing and extorting money, and turned to selling cigarettes and even smuggling.
At this point, these people have basically disappeared from public view, and little is known about their situation. It is only known that they have many private cooperations with some local gangs and the like, and there are many cities along the Yangtze River.
Traces of activity.
Later, they got in touch with Japanese spies for unknown reasons, and the two parties secretly resold morphine and other substances. Later, they were caught by the Japanese spies, and then they offended both the Intelligence Division and the Secret Service Headquarters.
"Boss, what's this about?" After listening to Boss Dai's introduction, Lin Mo tentatively spoke.
"The Secret Service headquarters is probably scared of being beaten. It's a critical moment to suppress the Red Party right now. They shouldn't be distracted, so they leave the matter to us and ask us to help them share the burden. Don't spend the whole day
Don’t miss the mark.”
"I guess they still want to see us suffer a lot. The secret service headquarters has been suffering losses one after another. There are probably other fishy things going on inside."
Boss Dai nodded and said: "The principal is also not very happy about this matter. He has suffered losses at the hands of gangsters one after another, and the entire government has suffered losses. Moreover, it seems that there were some red parties who speculated that they were adding to the flames and stirred up public opinion.
Fortunately, your big move in Shanghai suppressed these things, but the principal was very dissatisfied with the performance of the secret service headquarters and personally ordered us to take charge of this matter.
Because I don’t know what kind of demons and monsters are involved, so to avoid any problems, I’m going to ask your second team to come out and join the special operations team to go over it in person and resolve it safely without causing any trouble.”
"...This..." Lin Mo frowned, stretched out his hand from under the cloth cover, touched his chin, and fell into thought.
"What? You don't want to go?...Hmm..." Boss Dai thought about it and said, "You don't have to go, but at least you have to pay attention to others and let others take responsibility alone. I don't feel comfortable."
After coming back to his senses, Lin Mo quickly shook his head and explained: "Boss, it's not that I don't want to go, but I think this matter can be used to make a fuss."
"...Oh? Tell me quickly..." Boss Dai also became interested and wanted to see what other fantastic ideas Lin Mo had.
And he also felt that it was a bit embarrassing to do things like this. After all, the secret service headquarters kept nagging them, which made them look half a head shorter.
Only if you do this well can you fight back. But if you just wipe out the opponent, he really can't see how beautiful it can be.
"Boss, look! After the fuss at the secret service headquarters, we can basically conclude that there is something wrong, and the ghosts involved must also be aware of this.
What should be collected and hidden must have been properly dealt with and wiped clean. Even if we deal with this group of water bandits, the final harvest will probably be extremely limited.
Another thing, let's not talk about whether this opponent is difficult to deal with. I don't believe that the special agent headquarters alone can watch us honestly and deal with this group of water bandits safely.
There is a high probability that they may be hiding something fishy and may even dig a hole for us. It is not ruled out. If things are going well, they may even be pulling back and stumbling upon us.
So! I don’t think we can just suppress the bandits. On the contrary, we should promote the power of this group of water bandits, and then state that there may be problems within them, and then use this to make a fuss about it to gain more benefits for us.
Of course, this group of people is indeed not simple. They have been on the run for many years, and their various experiences, cognitions, etc. are completely different from ordinary gangsters who are entrenched in various places.
And now, they have turned into a drug smuggling and trafficking force that is both banditry and business, and it is still hidden underground and in the dark. After the secret service headquarters, they are probably hiding deeper.
These people are scattered and hidden deeply. It is difficult to solve them in one fell swoop in a short time. You may have to dig them out bit by bit and break them down bit by bit, which will take a lot of effort and time.
This is also the reason why I am worried that the secret service headquarters is causing trouble. There is too much time for them to get their hands on it. Therefore, we need to delay the time first, let us complete the preliminary reconnaissance work, and then basically solve the problem in one fell swoop."
After listening to this, Boss Dai nodded slightly, approved Lin Mo's plan, and asked: "What kind of article is this specifically?"
"Water police and waterways are the most important transportation channels in the country at the moment. They are the main artery for the exchange of goods and goods between the government and the economic development. From the flow of people to commodity trade, even the military and government are closely related to this.
In view of the fact that at present, waterways and branches are often invaded by bandits, such as the lower reaches of the Wuhan River. Some time ago, there were many vicious cases of looting passenger and cargo ships and killing the entire crew and passengers.
Shen Wenbin, the man who was very talented in finance as I just mentioned to you, was preparing to board one of the ships at that time. If the Japanese had not intervened, he would probably have been regarded as a real ghost in the river.
And when I was in Shanghai, the Japanese spread the word and gathered and harassed a large number of bandit gangs. Those people were basically gangs that relied on the waterway, not to mention this group, which caused the secret service headquarters to suffer a loss and lose face.
bandit.
Therefore, I think we can use this matter as an excuse to apply to the principal to organize a marine police team dedicated to combating water bandits and maintaining the safety of waterways. We must not only solve this group of water bandits who have jumped out, but also take the lead
Fight against water bandits and other forces in various places.
Of course, this is also of great positive significance to our own work. Judging from the series of cases detected, waterways are also an important part of espionage activities.
Like this time, many of the bandit gangs I dealt with on the Wusong River were in collusion with the Japanese, and there were even forces organized by themselves.
Of course, it may not only be Japanese spies, but also other intelligence forces operating in the country, which may even include us, but we are extremely weak in this aspect, and this has caused a lot of trouble in some cases."
After hearing this, Boss Dai frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Marine police require boats, and their performance shouldn't be too bad. And if we are to do it, we will need at least steel-hulled motor boats.
This requires a lot of money. I remember that someone mentioned setting up a Marine Police Headquarters before, but later it was abandoned due to the high cost."
Lin Mo heard this and explained: "Boss, we are either going to set up a general bureau or something like that, or we are going to ask for an establishment title from above and hang it under a military commission or something like that, like setting up a Marine Police Investigation Section or something like that.
We only need one or two hundred people to organize the establishment. We can build more ships ourselves, and then equip them with machine guns and other firepower. The plan is to spend as much money as possible. If it weren't for the high cost, we probably wouldn't have a chance to do this kind of thing.
.”
After hearing this, Boss Dai shook his head slightly and replied: "This matter is not so easy to promote. This is to form an armed force under our control. The principal will not be easy to get through, and the CC Department will try their best to obstruct it.
If we just set up a marine police team that patrols and chases people when necessary, but it costs a lot of money to build a lot of boats and equip them with heavy firepower, it will be difficult to do this."
Lin Mo also had a headache and said: "If there is only such a marine police team, it can only maintain order and stability. It is quite difficult to fight against the water bandits, but there is no way to use this as an excuse. Without a suitable excuse, it will be even more difficult to accomplish."
Boss Dai also nodded to confirm, but Lin Mo was not willing to give in. After thinking about it carefully, they did have a lot of demand for the power of water at the moment.
"Boss, what if you bring it up with other things?" Lin Mo hesitated to speak. Boss Dai almost gave up, but Lin Mo suddenly asked this question again.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became. Lin Mo quickly added: "Boss, we can make suggestions together and suggest that the principal can form a boat force, and it should be a serious army, and the scale should be larger.
In this way, we can set up a marine police unit, just like a casual one. Not to mention it is not very eye-catching. The government has a stronger force on the water, and it will not have many worries about us setting up a marine police unit.
The boat force is a unit lower than the navy and uses small boats to fight. It is used to fill the gap between the navy and the army and fight in inland rivers, lakes and swamps and other environments.
In terms of responsibilities, in addition to combat operations, they can also include transporting troops, transporting and escorting logistical materials by water, destroying water bandits and other armed forces that threaten waterways, assisting in the defense of air defense positions, etc.
Speaking of which, the government does have a great need for such a force. Just as for the Tibetan issue, the Japanese warships sailed directly outside the capital Nanjing. The other side could follow the waterways at any time and spread the flames of war to various places.
In addition, after several contacts with the navy, I found that the national navy is really weak, the warships are old and outdated, and the number is pitiful.
However, the cost of developing a serious navy is prohibitive and unrealistic. However, I think it is necessary to establish a smaller boat department, improve the ability to reject threats from foreign warships, maintain routes, and provide logistics and transportation.
Regarding the future situation, once the war starts, it is inevitable that the war will burn into the inner road. While the Japanese have advanced equipment, the logistics are also heavy. Attacking along the waterway is a high probability..."
