1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Screams soon filled the warehouse, and the guard was threatened with an axe at his neck:

"Tell me! Which brothels did you send those girls to? If you don't tell me, I'll chop you to death!"

"...yes...."

In fact, it is not important whether these traffickers confess or tell the truth; because, as the local tyrants in Shanghai, the Axe Gang may not know how many people the traffickers have abducted, but they know which trafficker mainly serves whom.

It is very clear;

So, while raiding the warehouse, another group of people had already rushed to the abducted

The seller's final destination.

"Ninth Brother! We're here!"

"good! "

Wang Yaqiao jumped out of the car, looked at the high-rise buildings with bright lights and feasting, sneered, emphasized the rules again, and waved his hand:

"Go in! Arrest him!"

As dozens of people poured in, screams, cries of pain and jeers were heard in the brothel.

"What are you doing? I'm here for tea!"

"Hey! Isn't this the Vice President X of XX Newspaper? You're really smart."

"Get out! Get out!"

"Oh! Look at the axe in my hand and tell me again?"

Looking at the sharp object that was hitting the edge of the bed, less than 5cm away from his penis, a naked gentleman swallowed his saliva and accidentally urinated.

“+!!”

Soon, a woman who was about 30 years old, with a good figure and a graceful demeanor appeared.

The madam ran up to Wang Yaqiao angrily and shouted:

"Mr. Wang, are you fucking crazy?!"

Looking at this woman who had some respect in Shanghai due to the support of Huang, Du, Zhang, and the Kong family, Wang Yaqiao slapped her without hesitation:

"Madams, pimps, and prostitutes, stay! Clients and onlookers, get out!" Similar incidents occurred throughout and around the Shanghai International Settlement. Dozens of brothels, gambling dens, opium dens, and warehouses storing drugs and human beings were raided, and thousands of madams, gamblers, drug dealers, human traffickers, and prostitutes or drug users who resisted were arrested.

All in all, this "Shanghai Special Campaign to Crack Down on Pornography and Illegal Publications" was very successful, and almost all the pornographic sites in the entire International Settlement and surrounding areas were cleared out.

The scene was so grand that everyone in Shanghai knew about it. Even Huang Jinrong's affair was no longer paid attention to.

what?

You said that the security contract for the International Settlement only covers the concession area, and Mark Company shouldn't be in charge of matters outside the concession?

Ha ha.

Come on, come on, tell me, will the presence of criminal activities and elements around the concession affect security within it?

It is obvious that the security situation inside the concession has become more serious! Therefore, we must strike hard both internally and externally!

As for your insistence on talking about jurisdiction or not?

Okay, if you must protest, then go ahead and see if anyone will pay attention to you. See if your national government will speak up for you.

Besides, even if we take a step back and say, yes, I am just making excuses, so what?

Fuck you, you dare to bite my bird? You are so domineering and willful.

Don't say it's unreasonable, who made you a weak country?

In fact, after hearing that Mark Company/Axe Gang was arresting people everywhere inside and outside the concession and even arrested a certain legal advisor in the Shanghai County Government, the Kuomintang officials all chose to turn a deaf ear and dumb.

First, the slogans they raise and the things they do are too righteous. Anyone who dares to refute or oppose them will be labeled an enemy of the people.

how?

Is it wrong to ban drugs, gambling and prostitution?

From the moment it was established, the Nationalist government vowed to ban opium, reduce prostitution, and crack down on gambling.

Even though I didn’t do it, just tell me whether I said it or not! If I said it, I did it!

Oh, you guys are doing your job so fucking badly, and now someone else is doing it for you, and you have the nerve to object?

Secondly, although the Axe Gang was the main force behind this incident, they were acting under the banner of an American company that was said to be well-known.

Who in this world doesn't know that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Government have been pleading with the Americans to no avail?

Are you going to confront the American boss over such a small matter? If you're not afraid of losing, then go ahead and do it yourself!

Third, although many officials' white gloves have been cracked down on and arrested, everyone's focus is now more on Hubei and Jiangxi. Let's put things aside for now if we can!

At worst, you can just give the person some money to get him out and then deal with other things.

Finally, because the Axe Gang and Mark Company were short of manpower, part of the American army that had shocked the entire Shanghai last time also participated in this operation;

For example, Wang Yaqiao, who was responsible for cleaning up the brothels, was accompanied by not only the elites of the Axe Gang, but also the US Marines...

The US daddy only mentioned the name, and the Kuomintang party did not dare to provoke it easily. This time he directly took action, so who the hell dared to make a fuss?

Let alone arresting a few thugs, even if American soldiers entered Nanjing, I'm afraid the Nationalist government would have to send someone to ask the Americans with a smile whether they were lost, and then discuss how to kneel in a more attractive posture!

Compared with the silence of the Kuomintang, some so-called leftists and "tycoons" whose interests were damaged jumped out to accuse Mark Company.

But even these people who jumped up and down did not dare to criticize Mark's progress.

If things like banning drugs, prostitution, and beating up human traffickers are not right, the most people will say is "brutal tactics" or "overstepping the boundaries of law enforcement."

Because the common people all applauded and strongly supported Mark Company and the Axe Gang's "special campaign to crack down on pornography and illegal publications"!

Again, the prosperity and wealth of Shanghai and the enjoyment of the young masters and ladies belong only to them and are built on the suffering of ordinary people.

Everyone knows about the bad things Huang Jinrong and his gang have done, but because the gang is so powerful and has someone to protect them, no one can do anything to them.

But now, someone has come out to call the shots, and the people who have been bullied don't care who it is!

Not to mention Americans, Japanese, Germans, and Russians are all fine! Good!

well!

Foreign adults, catch more!

298 Sisters, stand up (━)

The Bund in Shanghai, not far from the US Consulate.

Countless people gathered here, waiting to attend a conference.

A meeting that had already been published in the newspapers and the news had spread throughout Shanghai:

A public trial for the criminals previously apprehended. Yes, a "public trial."

Don't think this is exclusive to the Communist Party; the Nationalist government also has it. However, the Communist Party has already highlighted the skill point of combining "grievances + public trials + mass participation," but the Nationalist government does not, and dares not, select this skill point.

Therefore, this "public trial" was just like the previous ones, with the people on the stage reading and the audience listening, and the audience's sense of participation was not strong.

Even so, there were still a large number of Shanghai residents who were willing to participate in the conference just to watch the fun and see the bastards get into trouble.

The organizer himself did not expect so many people at the beginning, and was forced to temporarily borrow a lot of Baotou Indians from the British to help maintain order.

"Ed! Ed! Here! Here!"

A young and beautiful girl with brown hair and blue eyes, standing out in the crowd

The woman waved the notebook in her hand and shouted anxiously:

"Hurry up! I've already reserved a spot for you!"

"Come on, come on, it's only fifteen minutes away, why are you in such a hurry?"

A short-haired young man with a hooked nose and a camera walked slowly up to the woman, and then she pulled him away.

"Don't worry! Mr. Houston and the others are waiting for us!" The woman looked around and lowered her voice: "By the way, I heard Mr. Song is here too."

"..."

Hearing this word, the man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickened his pace. He walked through the crowd and quickly reached the front of the podium, then greeted the men and women sitting there.

These people are all friends with the young couple, and they had made an appointment to watch the public trial together today.

"Helen, come sit next to me."

The masked middle-aged woman known as "Mr. Song" waved to young Helen Foster. The impetuous young woman immediately became more obedient and sat down next to her.

"Mr. Song, long time no see." "Long time no see, Mr. Song." "Hello, both of you."

The middle-aged woman smiled gently and showed no intention of taking off her scarf. Everyone knew that she came today in a private capacity, and they all turned down their volume to avoid being noticed.

In fact, no one cares about them today. Everyone's attention is focused on this unprecedented "public trial" in Shanghai.

It is said that those who are about to be tried and sentenced are all the "big shots" in Shanghai that everyone could only look up to!

Within a few minutes, Kruger, a representative of Mark Company, and Wang Yaqiao, the former leader of the Axe Gang, walked to the front, read a script passionately, declared their own justice, and then began the public trial.

The trial process is actually very simple:

The most heinous criminals are brought to the stage one by one, their identities, crimes and preliminary verdicts are read out, and the audience is asked whether they agree. If there is no objection, the sentence is imposed directly.

Compared to the CCP's and later generations' extremely sophisticated trial processes, this method is undoubtedly full of errors and omissions, and is very likely to result in false convictions and miscarriages of justice, thus being denounced by some legal experts as "the violence of the ignorant."

However, leaving aside the small-time thugs, it would not be unfair to kill all the leaders of the brothels, opium dens and casinos in Shanghai.

In troubled times, there's no need for harsh punishments. Are we going to let these bastards off and wait for them or their descendants to launch a full-scale counterattack someday in the future?

Even Mark, a "petty bourgeois" from later generations, had hardened his heart long ago, not to mention people of his time like Kruger and Wang Yaqiao.

Thus, amidst cheers, one drug dealer, human trafficker, murderer, robber, kidnapper after another was sentenced to death and then lined up and shot by the river.

Everything went smoothly at first and no one raised any objections. It was not until a dozen brothel owners, madams and even some of the "girls" were brought to the front that the people's reactions began to change slightly.

When they were sentenced to death or hard labor, the audience fell silent for a while. Instead of the loud applause they had before, there was a lot more buzzing noise:

"No...no need for the death penalty, right?"

"That's right...it's just a brothel, there's no murder or arson..." "But...human traffickers..."

"It's not like they're selling it, right?" "Well..."

"I think so too. Men can have a place to have fun and women can make money. What's wrong with that?"

"And those girls, they are also miserable people..."

"..."

There are many similar voices, and the main opposing views can be divided into three categories:

1. The sentence is too harsh - running a brothel is merely a crime, and even if it is a crime, it does not warrant the death penalty;

2. Impact on livelihoods - Closing down brothels will not only make men lose their entertainment, but also leave women with no place to make money;

3. The impact is too wide – Even if there is punishment, it is enough to punish the bosses and madams. Why punish the girls?

Because the people did not show much support, the bosses, madams, pimps and even the girls on the stage seized the opportunity and began to complain.

Amidst the buzz, Wang Yaqiao waved his hand calmly:

"Since everyone disagrees with killing them and feels that these people do not deserve the death penalty, then we ask Ms. Koch to explain!"

HK416, still masked to avoid causing too much unrest, walked to the front of the stage with a group of women and spoke in standard northern Mandarin:

"I'm Heckler Koch..."

Her stunning figure, unique dress and extraordinary temperament suddenly made the scene quieter.

"...This large-scale arrest and interrogation operation targeting criminals in the Shanghai Concession was led and organized by me under the influence and guidance of Her Majesty the Saint..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Americans in the audience cheered loudly, leaving ordinary people in other countries feeling confused.

"Ms. Springfield believes that women are also members of society and should respect themselves and not trade their bodies for money. It is truly pitiful that they have fallen to this point, and those who oppress them are truly hateful!"

"Now, I'd like to invite the women we rescued this time to speak for themselves! Tell us about the evil deeds of these bastards who you think are not punishable by death!"

The (prospective) prostitutes who had been arranged in advance stepped forward one after another and began their tearful accusations, which most ordinary people actually did not understand very well.

Do you think all prostitutes want to be prostitutes? You wish!

Some of them were widows, some were orphans, some were displaced poor, and some were deceived and forcibly detained;
