Chapter 1212 The Responsibilities of the Sheriff

Regarding these shady methods, Han Zhengshan did not need to ask Qin Biao for advice on how to operate them. He also reaped the benefits when he was a head catcher in Hangzhou. These tricks were already familiar to him. What he was more interested in was that in

What kind of difficulties and challenges will you face as a police officer in an overseas colony like Da Nang? Although the lecturers also talked about this issue during the training in Sanya, I was able to consult face-to-face with a current police officer, Han Zhengshan

He would not miss such an opportunity. Besides, when Tan Juren asked him to accompany him, he also made it clear that he wanted him to communicate more with the local police chief. He must have had similar considerations.

"Difficulty?" After listening to Han Zhengshan's question, Qin Biao pondered for a moment before answering: "I don't know much about the situation in other colonies, and I dare not speak nonsense. Speaking of Da Nang alone, perhaps the biggest difficulty is this

The two countries have the right to govern."

Han Zhengshan asked in confusion: "Isn't this place under the full control of our Haihan Kingdom?"

Qin Biao nodded and said: "That's true, but among the permanent population of Da Nang, only about half of the people are Hai Han nationals, which means that these people are subject to Hai Han legal control. Of course, according to our current practice, for non-nationals

Criminal acts can also be dealt with, but the composition of the local population is complicated. Some Annan people who come here to trade have prominent status, and it is difficult to deal with them if they commit crimes. Brother Han must also be able to think of the difficulties involved."

It is not difficult to understand what Qin Biao said. Da Nang is an enclave carved out from the territory of Annan. Among the merchants who come here to trade, the largest proportion are Annan people. And these people are qualified to trade with the sea.

Many of them have deep backgrounds and even represent the interests of Annan officials. If these people commit crimes in Da Nang, and Sheriff Hai Han wants to deal with them, he will naturally have to consider punitive measures for both countries.

The impact relationships may have.

Although the outer wall of the police station has the eye-catching slogan "Enforcement must be strict and violations must be punished", they are all industry insiders and know that the spirit symbolized by these slogans does not apply to everyone. Especially people like Xian.

In an area with a relatively special environment like Hong Kong, there are inevitably more concerns when dealing with public security incidents. Han Zhengshan previously thought that Haihan's control over the local area had reached 100%, but now judging from Qin Biao's description, the situation is not the same.

Not so optimistic.

"Then if you encounter the situation mentioned by Brother Qin, how would you usually deal with it?" Han Zhengshan continued to ask for advice.

Qin Biao responded: "Let's go through the normal procedures first. If the opponent's identity is really tough, then you have to ask the chief for instructions. Generally speaking, as long as it is not a serious crime of murder and arson, it will most likely be resolved privately in the end."

Han Zhengshan smiled and said: "In this way, it is actually no different from the Yamen of the Ming Dynasty."

Qin Biao nodded and said: "That's true, but there is one thing that the Ming government cannot compare with."

Han Zhengshan said: "I would like to hear the details."

"Haihan citizens committed crimes in Annan, and the Annan government is not qualified to impose penalties. They can only hand over the criminals to us." Qin Biao sighed: "It is said that this was also signed by the Executive Committee and the Annan court.

One of the agreements.”

"This is really awesome!" Han Zhengshan's destination was not in Annan, so he had not heard of the diplomatic agreement signed by Haihan and Annan during his training. It was up to both parties to discuss this issue.

From the policy differences, it can be seen that Haihan is indeed stronger in the exchanges between the two countries.

Qin Biao said: "Other than that, there are no problems. To be honest, this place is much easier to manage than Hainan Island. The local area is full of prostitutes with no background. It's not like Sanya. A random passerby might be from the chief's family."

Servants, I can't afford to offend you. I heard that you are going to a place further south, so I'm sorry, more than half of the people there must be slaves bought from Nanyang, so it will be easier to manage!"

Regarding the operating conditions of the Haihan colony in the South China Sea, Han Zhengshan also learned something about it during his training in Sanya. The situation mentioned by Qin Biao indeed exists. Since the local area is far away from Han settlements, there are very few Han immigrants. In order to supplement the labor force, Hainan

The Han could only purchase slaves with almost no human rights from slave markets across the South China Sea. Because of cultural and language differences, the price these slaves had to pay to obtain Hai-Han nationality was far more than that of Han immigrants, and

The security agencies also have easier control over them. After all, these people do not even have freedom of movement and are locked up in plantations to work every day, so the possibility of breaking the law is much smaller.

The two kept chatting until the end of the reception banquet attended by the leaders. When Tan Juren came out, his cheeks were slightly red. It seemed that he had drunk a little wine at the banquet. Before getting on the carriage, Tan Juren did not forget to ask Han Zhengshan: "

Have you spoken to the local Sheriff?”

Han Zhengshan hurriedly leaned over and responded: "We have already talked about it just now. I have gained a lot from my humble position."

Tan Juren did not ask further questions, nodded and said: "That's good, let's go back first."

The fleet heading south only stayed in Da Nang for one night and had to leave early in the morning, so the officials in the fleet did not stay overnight in the town. After eating the banquet that combined greeting and farewell, they returned to the dock. The goods

All the loading and unloading had been completed before dark, so it would not delay the departure the next day.

Han Zhengshan did not return to his ship, but was taken to the warship where he was staying by Tan Juren. Here, each traveler has a separate cabin, and the living conditions are naturally much better than those on the immigration ship where Han Zhengshan was on.

.

"Sit down and talk!" Tan Juren pointed to the stool in front of him and said. Although he lived in an independent cabin, the space was really not big. The bed was two and a half feet wide, plus a set of tables and stools by the porthole.

It took up most of the indoor space. Two oil lamps with glass shades were lit on the bulkhead in front of the table, illuminating the room. Tan Juren sat on the edge of the bed, and there was only one stool in the room to sit on.

After Han Zhengshan thanked him, he sat down upright. His superior summoned him alone. Fearing that there might be important instructions, Han Zhengshan did not dare to neglect at all and waited for Tan Juren's instructions.

"What do you think after talking to the local police chief?" Tan Juren asked something that seemed very vague.

Han Zhengshan thought for a while before responding: "It seems easier to be a peace officer in overseas colonies than at home."

Tan Juren smiled and said: "You know how to grasp the key points! Then let me ask you again, what would you do if Da Nang was handed over to you to manage?"

Han Zhengshan said: "Probably...he can't do better than Mr. Qin."

Han Zhengshan would not be able to change these old names for a while, and Tan Juren was not in a hurry to correct him at this time. He just continued following the topic: "Qin Biao's actions in the local area are somewhat forced, after all, here

The environment in the country is no better than at home, and the feelings of Annan Kingdom must be taken into consideration. There is nothing wrong or right about this. In the big picture, of course, national interests take priority, and the scale of details can be put aside first."

Han Zhengshan could understand every word of what Tan Juren said, but he just didn't quite understand what he meant. It was obvious that his boss had a better understanding of the security situation in Da Nang, so he made such a comment, but

Whether it was praise or criticism, Han Zhengshan did not hear a clear attitude.

Tan Juren continued: "The environmental situation of the destination we are going to is not as complicated as Da Nang, so you don't have to worry about so many diplomatic problems that need to be dealt with. But there is one thing I hope you understand: the security situation in many places in the South China Sea

It is not as peaceful as what you learned during training, and if the situation calls for it, your police force will have to be armed to participate in combat missions."

"Ah?" Han Zhengshan really couldn't react when he heard the news. He had specifically asked Qin Biao about the situation in the southern colonies before, but the answer he got was a completely different answer.

Tan Juren added: "It was quite peaceful before, but this year the external environment in some places has changed, so the pressure on public security may also increase. You don't have to wonder why there was no information about this during the training in Sanya earlier.

Because I only heard about it when we were eating just now."

"Chief...shouldn't there be troops stationed locally?" Han Zhengshan asked with some confusion. According to the training he received, the police force is only responsible for regional security maintenance. In principle, the military is responsible for combat tasks.

. The vast majority of grassroots police officers have not received combat training. If they are temporarily dragged to the battlefield to perform combat missions, wouldn't it be like being used as cannon fodder?

Tan Juren said: "Of course there are garrisons, but under normal circumstances it is not your turn to go to the battlefield. I am telling you this to prepare you for this situation."

Han Zhengshan thought to himself: How can I prepare for this? I don’t even have a knife that can kill chickens. I can only get the promised pistol from the military after arriving at the destination. As for all his men, they only have one baton and they have nothing to do on the battlefield.

He was about to die. However, he did not dare to question his superior's instructions. He could only nod and obey, secretly praying that he would not encounter such bad luck.

Han Zhengshan returned to the immigration ship he was on with a complicated mood. Several colleagues asked him about going to the town with Tan Juren for a banquet today. He just said a few words to guide him, packed up and went to bed. He just lay on the bed.

While there, he was still thinking about what was going on in the south that made his boss so cautiously call him in for a talk.

There was no talk all night, and early the next morning, after all the ships had checked their personnel, they set sail from Da Nang and continued southward. Their next stop was Quy Nhon Port, one hundred and eighty nautical miles away, where they also

There is also a batch of goods that need to be handed over to local merchants.

After nearly two days of sailing, the fleet successfully arrived at Quy Nhon Port. The operating conditions here are similar to those in Da Nang, but due to a later start, the construction scale of the port is obviously not as good as that of Da Nang. However, the natural harbor conditions of Quy Nhon are still good.

Better than Da Nang, the long and narrow harbor is more than 20 miles away from north to south, and even a 10,000-ton ship can easily dock in the harbor. There is also a large salt farm built by the coast on the coast of the harbor, and its output is supplied to southern Annam.

There is still enough for the needs of the people.

After the experience in Da Nang, Han Zhengshan will no longer be surprised to see hundreds of iron utensils unloaded from the ship. The exports of Hai Han to southern Annam are similar, and Quy Nhon is no exception. And Gui

The inland area of ​​Renggang is rich in water systems and has large alluvial plains used for growing food crops. It is also considered a livable place.

However, the degree of development here is limited. The local Hai Han citizens are only about one-third of those in Da Nang, and the prosperity of nearby towns is not as prosperous as Da Nang. But Han Zhengshan heard from locals that Hai Han has invested in this nearby area.

A large number of economic plantations have been developed and have been profitable since last year. This year they are gradually on the right track and there will be considerable economic income. However, Han Zhengshan has never even heard of the names of these economic crops, and he is very surprised.

It is difficult to deduce from this fragmented information what Haihan's business conditions are like here.

The fleet originally planned to stay at Quy Nhon Port for only one night, but the weather began to deteriorate while entering the port, and the nearby seas were windy and rough. For safety reasons, the fleet finally waited at Quy Nhon Port for three days until the weather conditions improved.

After that, we started from here and continued southbound.

One hundred and thirty nautical miles south of Quy Nhon Port is Hai Han's largest comprehensive military base in the South China Sea, Cam Ranh Port. There is a full armed fleet stationed here, as well as two battalions of

Army Combat Force. After arriving here, the immigrants, including Han Zhengshan and others, once again confirmed Haihan's overseas military strength with their own eyes. You must know that this place is already a thousand and fourteen miles away from Haihan's capital, Sanya.

More than a hundred miles, converted into a voyage of 800 nautical miles. To deploy such a large-scale army overseas for a long time so far away from the country, Han Zhengshan believed that only Haihan could do it.

Of course, this place is not entirely for military purposes. Military and civilian ports have been built in Cam Ranh Bay, which is quite large. There are also merchant ships from various countries that come to trade here. Some of the ships and personnel of the troops accompanying the fleet will stay.

Here, the local garrison is replaced. The process of handover and replacement takes two days, and the immigrants can also take a break here. Of course, the scope of activities for going ashore is still strictly limited. If you want to go sightseeing here, it is not possible.

possible.

However, the accompanying cadres received slightly better treatment. They were organized to visit the military base here, and even boarded the flagship deck of the garrison fleet to experience Haihan's most powerful warship up close. This arrangement is of course a kind of

It is a very intuitive and effective method of patriotic education. Everyone, including Han Zhengshan, could not help but be impressed by this powerful force and realize what kind of strength the maritime armed forces known as the number one in the South China Sea have.

"It would be really relaxing and happy if I could stay here and be a peace officer!" Han Zhengshan couldn't help but have such an idea during his visit.
Chapter completed!
