Chapter 692: Recruiting Standards
Hell's Kitchen.
West District.
A five-story building.
This was originally the headquarters of the Ghost Head Gang, but now it is the headquarters of the Red Tiger Palace.
Although it is a base camp, there are not many people here, only about twenty people.
Everyone else is out patrolling to earn points.
There are points for patrolling. You can get 0.5 basic points every night, and there will be an appropriate amount of bonus points based on subsequent work performance.
This is also the real reason why so many people, including those unruly gangsters, are so keen on patrolling and work tirelessly to "be good people".
"What's the situation in the neighborhoods now?"
John asked.
"Except for a few robberies on 178th Street and 183rd Street, the rest of the neighborhood was pretty quiet."
The assistant spoke.
178th Street and 183rd Street, these two neighborhoods have always been crime hot spots in the West End of Hell's Kitchen.
First, there are many small alleys in these two blocks, extending in all directions, making it easy to escape and hide.
Secondly, there are many bars and other night entertainment venues in these two blocks, making them a very suitable place to start.
In these two neighborhoods, more than ten cases occurred in one night, which is not a bizarre thing.
Now, there have been only a few cases in the two blocks combined, which is already pretty good.
"Um."
John nodded.
"Where are those gang groups? What's going on now?"
"Gangster group..."
The assistant paused and said.
"It's a bit strange. Except for the first two days, all traces of them have been eliminated. Among the people who committed crimes these days, there are basically none of them. They seem to have given up."
Give up?
John frowned.
Are they so cowardly?
Although they are stronger and their attitude is tougher, there is no reason for these people to even resist.
"What are they doing now?"
John asked.
"Well, nothing has been done. These days, there is almost no trace of gang groups everywhere. It's like they all disappeared in an instant."
"Um?"
John realized there was a problem immediately.
He is not a particularly smart or calculating person, but over the years, he has been able to bring the Red Tiger Mercenary Group to the ranks of the world's first-class mercenary groups. In addition to his strong personal ability, he relies on his keen first-class skills.
Six senses.
Now his sixth sense tells him.
There's something wrong with this!
"Disappeared? Where did they go?"
"...I'm sorry, Lord, we don't know their whereabouts."
The assistant lowered his head.
Recently, their manpower has been used to maintain stability and maintain law and order, and there are not many manpower to detect the movements of these gang groups.
Although they have recruited some people these days, they are still unable to cope with the huge Western District.
John frowned.
"Go ahead and ask the sixteen squads to pay special attention to the whereabouts of these gang groups when patrolling!"
He didn't know why, but he had a vague feeling that a storm was coming.
"Palace Master, how about we recruit more people?"
The assistant said carefully.
After Red Tiger Palace unified the Western District, many people became interested and wanted to join in.
There are some very capable people among them.
But after so many days, they only recruited less than twenty people.
All this stems from the fact that their Red Tiger Palace has strict recruitment standards.
Ability is only one aspect.
What's more important is your morality and character.
Of course, Red Tiger Palace is not like a serious official department, and it also requires you to have a righteous heart.
But there are some bottom-line issues that absolutely cannot be touched.
This aspect sounds very self-centered, but there are also relative standards of evaluation.
For example, you can vote for a girl, but do it to a strong girl, which is absolutely not allowed!
If you use this standard to recruit people, many members of the original four major gangs will be unqualified, and even some people within the Red Tiger Mercenary Group will be unqualified.
But who makes them short of manpower now?
Therefore, for this group of people, John mainly focuses on 'teaching and teaching' for the time being. If he fails to 'teach and teach' in the end, these people will still be kicked out by him.
From the current point of view, with the banner of Shuguang Church and the temptation of "martial arts" that seems to be within reach, his "training and teaching" is still very successful.
The vast majority of people have met the corresponding minimum standards.
What the assistant means is that these people have been successfully 'trained and taught', and it is also possible for the newly recruited people to be 'trained and taught' successfully.
In the current situation where manpower is needed, it is also possible to appropriately relax some recruitment standards.
But John waved his hand and directly rejected the assistant's proposal.
"No! Still follow the original standards! This is what the Holy Son means!"
The assistant didn't know, but John knew very well.
The reason why these people are so easily 'trained and taught' is that, in addition to the Dawn Church and martial arts, Fang Mu's subtle guidance with 'Ecstasy' accounts for most of the reasons.
"I see."
When it came to the Holy Son, the assistant immediately stopped talking.
He was also one of the people present that night.
He had absolute worship for the Holy Son.
Since this matter was decided by the Holy Son, they just need to implement it.
A subordinate came over.
"Palace Master, there is a person coming outside, claiming to be from the Black Dragon Gang, and wants to see you."
"Black Dragon Gang?"
John raised his eyebrows.
"Only one person came?"
"Yes, just one person."
"Do you know who it is?"
"He calls himself Parker."
······
Parker stood outside the headquarters of the Red Tiger Palace, his expression relaxed and casual, and his eyes had scanned every corner of the surrounding area without noticing.
"It is indeed a world-class mercenary group! With this defensive arrangement, it is impossible to capture this place without twice the manpower!"
There was a glint in his eyes.
Even the headquarters of their Black Dragon Gang may not be much better than this place in terms of defensive layout.
It was a defensive fortress that they finally formed after decades of continuous improvement and deepening.
"The core of the Red Tiger Palace is, after all, the Red Tiger Mercenary Group, not the small gangs in Hell's Kitchen."
Parker put away a trace of arrogance in his heart.
Before coming here, he had a strong sense of arrogance.
As the only gang in Hell's Kitchen that has survived for decades, they have the right to be proud!
Even Jin Bing was often secretly scolded by them as a "nouveau riche" without any accumulation.
As for why it is secretly, just think about the United States and the United Kingdom.
Absolute strength can gain the respect of others.
Even if this respect is superficial.
Like Jin Bin, today's Red Tiger Palace has gained Parker's superficial respect.
"Parker, our palace master lets you in."
"Okay, lead the way."
