Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

"Old Liao, a new order was issued at this meeting."

"Chief, what's the order? It's not related to the mafia again."

The two people speaking were the director and deputy director of the Yanghui City Police Department in Central Island Province (Maluku Islands).

Yanghui City is a very inconspicuous island city in the entire South China, with a population of only 160,000.

But among these 160,000 people, there are hundreds of gangs, and the number of people involved in gangs in the entire city is as high as 70,000.

This means that nearly half of the population in Yanghui City are gang members, and the remaining half also have close ties with local gangs.

"Isn't it all about this? With the recent incidents, Yanghui has finally 'shown off' in front of the people of the country. After the meeting today, the director called me over and gave me a scolding. It's so embarrassing!"

"Those guys have learned their lesson now. We don't have any evidence even if we want to arrest them."

The director of the Yanghui City Police Department is named Liang Changgong. This guy retired from the army due to injury. Since he was an officer in the army, he was assigned to Yanghui Island, which was just a town at the time. After arriving here, he served as the director of the town police station. Later, Yanghui Town was upgraded to a city, and he was promoted as well.

He has lived in Yanghui for more than ten years since he retired from the army. Over the years, he has watched Yanghui develop from a small town with a population of only a few thousand people to its current state.

When he first came, Yanghui Island had not yet been renamed. At that time, the residents of the island mainly made a living by planting and fishing. Later, after the natives here were sent away, the government sent more than 10,000 immigrants to the island. These people were considered the earliest group of Chinese residents on Yanghui Island.

After the Chinese arrived here, in addition to continuing farming and fishing, they also started land and marine aquaculture. Although the island is not large and earthquakes are frequent, the superior natural environment still attracted a large number of immigrants.

In fact, the local environment was very simple at the beginning, but as the number of immigrants increased, the quality began to become uneven, and gradually clan-based gangs began to appear locally.

In the beginning, Liang Changgong and his men were still able to control these gangs. After all, these people were new to the underworld at that time, and they trembled in fear when they saw the police.

But as time went on, when these people found that they were more powerful than the police, and the police station was filled with a large number of gangsters' families, Liang Changgong and his men gradually lost control of the island.

During this period, the municipal government and the police department did seek help from their superiors, but the focus of national development was not in this area at the time. In addition, the gangs on Yanghui Island acted in a measured way and did not cause any major trouble, so the higher-ups ignored the matter.

But who could have imagined that in just a few short years, the entire Yanghui Island would completely become an island of sin.

You have to know that when the local gangs were at their most rampant, just one gang had thousands of rifles. Although the combat effectiveness of these gang members themselves was not very good, the existence of these guns itself had a huge impact on society.

Later, after the domestic anti-gang operation began, in order to rectify the gangs in Yanghui City, all three armed forces were dispatched. The army and the gangs fought for two days, killing and wounding 6,000 gang members who were hiding, and captured no more than 20,000 people in one go.

It was from that incident that the public security in Yanghui City finally returned to normal.

However, although the city has become stable, the mentality of the people living in the city has completely changed.

After tasting the life of being rich, many people naturally do not want to live the hard life as before. Relying solely on farming and fishing, the money they earn in a year may not be as much as what they earn in a day by gangsters.

Just like that, after the foreign exchange market had been stable for a few years, the gang that had been wiped out came back to life again.

Of course, as mentioned before, because of the lessons learned from the previous time, the gangs that were established later have become completely smarter. They no longer have direct conflicts with the police, and even many of the industries they run are not only legal but also make great contributions to society.

As for their illegal voices, there are many uninhabited islands around Yanghui Island. After being bought by these gangs, those islands have now become their "production bases". Liang Changgong has led people to conduct surprise inspections on those islands before.

But the problem is that people want to hide something on these islands, so what can they do if they go there?

To be honest, Liang Changgong really wanted to rectify these unstable factors, but the police also need evidence to investigate cases. In the absence of evidence, everyone is still from the same village, so how can you ask him to arrest people?
