Chapter 428 Strict Investigation
A prosperous commercial port like Sanya, while attracting wealth from all over the world, also attracts many people with ulterior motives. Many people from all walks of life and thieves will try their luck here after knowing this place in Sanya. However, Haihan has always been very strict about the management of public security. Whether it is petty theft or fraud and robbery, as long as he is caught with the current crime , were all thrown into hard labor camps to serve their sentences. Since the opening of the port, at least three to five hundred "heroes" from all walks of life have been captured for various reasons. And every six months or so, relevant departments will organize a joint operation to crack down on illegal crimes. Therefore, the police have There is not much strangeness about the tasks given by Aftershock.
Although the force value of these security police is relatively limited, and most of them have not had any experience in martial arts training before joining the army, scientific training methods and codes of conduct can greatly make up for their lack of personal force when enforcing the law. The public security police do not fight alone during operations. At least they are dispatched in teams of ten. In addition to the daily batons and vine shields, each police squadron will also be equipped with several short-barreled double-barrelled guns. Flintlock guns, the lethality of this kind of gun at close range is enough to make the security police fight one against ten. However, for safety reasons, the code of conduct does not allow the police to carry guns on the streets. This is only possible during certain special arrest operations. , firearms can only be used with the approval of the supervisor.
Of course, weapons like guns are rarely used. Really difficult targets are often dealt with directly by militia groups, without the need for the public security police to fight. Most of the time, they still rely on batons and rattan shields to maintain order. If they cannot control the situation, they can also blow the copper whistle hanging around their necks to call for nearby support. In addition, the sharp whistle can also play a role to a certain extent. Deterring criminals.
Cooperating with the public security police on the pier today was an observer named Lin Nan sent by the Ministry of Security. However, this person was only a naturalized person, not a time traveler. The reason why only one person is dispatched is mainly because the staffing of the Security Department is limited, and there are even fewer personnel who can perform field tasks. In comparison, the Police Department, which is originally tight in personnel, is very poor in manpower deployment. More comfortable.
Aftershock noticed that the observer had a gun hanging on his waist - even though this thing was larger than the repeating handguns equipped by the leaders, and it seemed to only have a single shot, it was enough to make Yushui's eyes become eager. stand up.
From a certain point of view, weapons and equipment can also reflect the authority of the wearer. Public security police officers such as Aftershock currently do not have the authority to carry guns when traveling, and this short gun is not even equipped to the police department. Yuzhen once heard Ren Liang mention that the security department has great authority, which can be seen from this sidearm.
"Brother Lin, can I borrow this gun for a while?" Yuzhen looked at it for a long time and finally couldn't help but speak.
Lin Nan smiled, but without any further excuses, he pulled out the gun from the holster on his waist, opened the breech and took out the ammunition inside, and then handed it to Yuzhen. Yuzhen quickly took it with both hands and thanked him repeatedly.
This pistol is basically a smaller version of the Type 28 breech-loading rifle. The gun body structure is almost the same as the Type 28, but the caliber and length of the barrel are greatly reduced, which reduces the range and power of the gun. Quite a few, and can only be used at relatively close distances.
Aftershock noticed that there was a row of Haihan characters engraved on the body of the gun. He had learned this character in a night school literacy class, and had also seen it on the short-barreled rifle issued by the Police Department. He knew it was a gun. serial number. The number of this gun is 29019. Aftershock knows that the first two digits of the five-digit number represent the year of Haihan, and the last three digits indicate that the manufacturing volume of this batch of guns is not large, at most no more than a hundred, otherwise it should be like a short gun. Like a barrel rifle, the year is followed by a four-digit code.
"I don't know how good this gun is. Brother Lin, can you tell me something about it?" Yu Zhen asked Lin Nan while playing with the gun.
"This gun is the Type 29 pistol newly produced by Haihan Ordnance Industry this year. It has a single shot in the breech. It can easily wear transparent military-style cotton armor within ten feet. The ammunition is the latest one-piece design. It is the same as the Type 28 breech rifle. The principle is the same." Lin Nan is obviously also a weapons enthusiast, and he knows a lot about the performance of this gun. "This gun has a range of up to forty feet, but it is only accurate within five feet, the chief said. The gun is designed for close combat, and the combat environment is different from the battlefield, so the range and accuracy are intentionally weakened during the design. ”
"It makes sense! But when using this pistol, you probably won't be able to form a gun formation and shoot simultaneously like the militia army. If it's not accurate enough, or if you miss it in a hurry, you probably won't have a chance to load the second bullet in a close combat situation! "Yu Zhen also discussed with Lin Nan with great interest.
"This matter has been reported to the leaders below, but it is said that Haihan Ordnance Industry is already trial-producing a more powerful pistol that can be loaded with multiple rounds of ammunition at one time and fired continuously during use. The probability of hitting the target will naturally be several times greater! "When Lin Nan talked about the excitement, he also brought out some inside information.
"I just don't know when we will be able to equip our police department with such powerful weapons!" After listening to Lin Nan's explanation, Yu Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "If we were equipped with pistols, we would be able to arrest those daring criminals easily. Many.”
"Brother Yu, isn't there a long gun issued by the Police Department? Why not use it?" Lin Nan asked.
"Brother Lin doesn't know. This long gun is equipped, but you have to apply to your superiors before using it. Only after getting approval can you open the gun cabinet and take out the gun for use. Otherwise, it is against the rules. If you are in an emergency, where can you get it? Time to ask your boss for a gun! Last month we arrested a thief in Xincheng District. He resisted with weapons and injured several of our brothers. If we had this pistol, we could have knocked him down on the spot! "Yu Zhen talked about the losses he had suffered before, with a somewhat resentful look on his face.
"That's it!" Lin Nan nodded and said: "If you only have a baton and a shield, it will be a bit dangerous to meet the stubborn resisters! But if you want to carry a gun on a daily basis, you must conduct shooting training for the people of the Police Department in advance. It will work, it will definitely be difficult to achieve without a few months of work.”
"Brother Lin must have received long-term training?" Yuzhen asked curiously.
"In the seventh year of Tianqi's reign... No, it was Haihan who signed up to join the militia in 1627. In the past two years, the militia army has fought overseas several times, and I have participated in all of them!" Lin Nan said proudly. Showed his qualifications.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Yuzhen couldn't help but praise: "It turns out that Brother Lin was once a soldier of the militia army. How disrespectful! Since Brother Lin has participated in several overseas battles, he must have accumulated a lot of military merits. Why should he retire and join the army?" The Ministry of Security is going to do something?" Lin Nan shook his head and said: "It's not up to me to decide this matter. It's up to the leaders."
Regarding the secrets during the work transfer, Lin Nan did not dare to talk to Yuzhen anymore. Some internal secrets of the Ministry of Security were already involved. When the Ministry of Security recruits people from the military, it is not just a matter of sending a transfer order. First, it must review the personal files to determine whether the person's political leanings and loyalty are trustworthy. Second, it must check whether the person is qualified for security work. The positions required by the Ministry. For example, personnel like Lin Nan who perform field tasks require him to have certain personal combat capabilities.
Of course, with Lin Nan's qualifications, it is not difficult to be qualified for this kind of position. He has a military history, knows how to use firearms, and has certain combat experience. The training courses after joining the Ministry of Security will be easier to accept. More training can focus on work methods and codes of conduct, rather than spending a lot of time training his personal combat skills.
Based on Lin Nan's performance in the military, it is basically certain that he will be appointed as a platoon leader in the near future. However, it is not a bad thing for him to be transferred to the Security Department. This department with great authority has great influence on Haihan's social system. It is extremely powerful, but it has not been fully reflected at this stage. However, compared with the fierce competition in the military, the Ministry of Security, which still has a serious manpower gap, obviously has more opportunities for promotion.
The two of them sat under the arbor on the pier, passing the time by chatting over tea. It was not until almost noon that two foreign merchant ships entered the port, one was the Portuguese Galen ship and the other was the Huizhou Haifeng merchant ship.
As soon as they saw a ship arriving, the two stopped chatting and got up to start doing things. Their task is to investigate all foreign ships that have entered the port recently, check the personnel on board, and find suspicious elements among them.
The Ministry of Security attaches great importance to the personnel dispatched by Fusi of Jinyiweinan Town. It believes that since these people have come with the "emperor's orders", the possibility of bribery and control is not high. If these spies are allowed to really get to know the situation in Sanya, A clear report would definitely bring a lot of trouble to this base area. Therefore, the requirement of the Ministry of Security is to find these spies as soon as possible through investigation and control them - at least to restrict their personal freedom and not allow them to pass the news back.
As for the methods that can be used during the arrest, Hao Wanqing did not impose any restrictions on this, which means that even if a firearm is used to kill someone on the spot, it is still allowed. Although there are certain risks involved in doing so, the Ministry of Security believes that if this group of people is missed, the harm will be greater, so the tone of the action is that all Jinyiwei personnel involved in this infiltration must be captured and brought to justice, regardless of whether they are dead or injured. .
After the Ministry of Security was established, this method was rarely used in field missions. Lin Nan could naturally feel the importance that the chiefs attached to this matter. However, due to the small staffing, he could only go to Sanya Inland Port as an observer single-handedly, so he had to rely more on the power of public security police such as Aftershock.
The two ships slowly docked on the pier on the shore. Aftershock had already directed his police squadron to temporarily block off the pier. No one is allowed to enter or exit this area at will until the two ships have been inspected.
The two ships that arrived at the port were obviously not here for the first time. After docking, the people on the ships did not rush to disembark, but were waiting for the arrival of the port staff. This is also a rule established when Victory Sense opened the port. All foreign ships arriving at the port must first complete the registration with the port department before the personnel and cargo on board can be allowed to disembark. Violations of this rule will be punished according to the severity. Different penalty treatments.
However, today's situation is a little different from usual. On board the ship with the port staff, in addition to the doctors who are usually seen enforcing quarantine, there are also uniformed Haihan security police.
The port staff read out the "Provisional Port Management Regulations" issued by the Executive Committee to the surprised captain, announcing that all ships arriving at the port in the past two months must first undergo full inspections by relevant departments, and all crew members on board must be inspected. Check registration. Of course, the reason why the Executive Committee did this is very good, "to maintain good order in the port area and protect the legitimate rights and interests of outsiders from being infringed." As for whether the interests of the shipowners were protected or compromised during this process, Infringement, that is not the point of the problem.
The captains of both ships knew that the rules of the Haihan people were to stick to their word and there was no room for bargaining. Since they said they wanted to inspect, there was no point in refusing. They had to arrange for someone to take the police down the cabin to conduct an investigation.
Naturally, this kind of work is not left to Yuzhen and Lin Nanlai to do it themselves. It is done by their subordinate police officers. They only need to supervise whether there are any omissions in the process. And having said that, the smell in the cabins of these ocean-going ships is indeed unbearable. If it is not necessary for work, no one will be willing to get into such a horrible smelling place.
This investigation process is undoubtedly long and boring. The police officers need to check the status of the cargo on the ship against the cargo manifest provided by the ship owner, and they also have to register and verify the personnel on the ship. Aftershock does not expect to be able to find out the spies directly through this kind of verification, because the turnover rate of sailors and crews is extremely high, and there is no such thing as an archive to verify their identities, even if someone makes up a false identity. It’s also hard to see through. He only hopes that such measures can make those with evil intentions react abnormally, and as long as there are some clues, he will distinguish them from the crowd.
The ship from Macau was quickly inspected. There was no suspicious person on board. The twenty crew members and the captain were all Portuguese. All suspicions could be ruled out at a glance. Yuzhen and Lin Nan signed the port entry registration form one after another, and together with the signatures of the port administration and health departments, the registration form was considered valid, and only then could the people on the ship disembark and land.
