1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1755 It's All Performances
At this time, Shengli Hong Kong was crowded with about [-] people watching the fireworks near the port area.In order to ensure that the fireworks display will not cause fires in the port with dense warehouses, and avoid crowds of onlookers causing congestion and stampedes, the official divided several viewing areas and fireworks display areas in the port area, and specially dispatched three companies of garrisons to cooperate with the local area. The public security police and the militia are here to maintain the order of the flow of people in the port area.

Because the fireworks show has become a regular program during the National Day like the military parade, such lively scenes almost always appear on the eve of the National Day in recent years.During this period, senior officials of the Haihan Executive Committee will also invite internal staff in Sanya, domestic gentry and celebrities of Haihan, envoys from various countries, foreign friendly people, etc., to watch the expensive fireworks at Shengli Harbor Performance.

The area where the VIPs are located has been marked as a quarantine area one day in advance, and there are sentries deployed by the security forces on nearby high places. There are also patrol ships arranged by the Navy inside and outside the harbor. Ordinary people will not be allowed to enter this area before and after the event. Area, security work can be described as foolproof.Although it may seem a little unreasonable, considering the number of people who flocked to the streets to celebrate during the National Day, this is already an arrangement that enjoys with the people.

For the upper-class people, coming to Victory Port to watch the fireworks is actually just a pretext, and they come here to join in the excitement, more because they can get in touch with high-ranking officials of Haihan Kingdom here.Usually, if you want to meet these big people, you have to go through the process and wait for the schedule. It is also possible to wait for a month or two or even longer.

Of course, in such a crowded place, it is not appropriate to talk about any important matters, but if you want to make yourself familiar in front of high-ranking Haihan officials, this kind of relaxed and happy atmosphere is perfect. But that's all.Many wealthy businessmen rushed here from other places, spending a lot of thought and money to get admission qualifications, in order to show their faces in front of the executive committee and show that they are also qualified to enter this top social A member of the circle.

However, after some people entered the viewing area, they found an extremely young-looking Haihan police officer sitting not far away.If it weren't for the police officer carrying the police badge symbolizing the senior rank on his shoulders, someone would have stepped forward to remind him that this is the place where VIPs sit.However, people soon recognized the identity of this young police officer. He is one of the representatives of the young officials that the Haihan Executive Committee is currently cultivating. .

When Hai Han first arrived in Sanya, Fu Li was only 15 years old when he walked out of the mountains to join this group of foreigners. At that time, he didn't even know Chinese characters.But now, Fu Li, who has lived with the Haihan people for nearly ten years, can hardly tell the origin of the Li people. Whether it is appearance, clothing or manners, they are almost the same as the traversers.Fu Li had joined the Police Department to work with Ren Liang very early on, and now Hai Han is not only the oldest, but also the one with the highest official position among Li officials in office.And his position is not in vain, even today's big occasion has his exclusive seat on the viewing platform.

The functions of the Special Operations Department are relatively complicated, mainly responsible for solving problems that the grassroots police stations and public security police cannot handle, such as major criminal cases, foreign-related cases, security intelligence cases, security work on special occasions, etc.The functions of this yamen actually overlap to a certain extent with the agencies under the Ministry of Security, but as far as the coordination and communication between the two sides are concerned, there have been no major problems.For example, for today's fireworks display, the police are responsible for the security work around the viewing platform in the port area, and the special operations department is in charge of commanding and dispatching personnel.

The guests who recognized Fu Li immediately took the initiative to say hello to him, and those who didn't know him at first, after knowing his identity, hurried over to check his existence.Although Fu Li looks too young, it also just shows that he has a bright future. If he doesn't burn incense now, why should he wait ten or twenty years before he gets rich?Fu Li didn't put on airs, he treated everyone who came to say hello calmly, and took this opportunity to earn a lot of goodwill.

Some people at the scene began to inquire whether the young Haihan official had already married, thinking that if he could get married with him, maybe he would be able to help Haihan more in the officialdom in the future.As for Fu Li's identity as a Li native, it has not attracted any special attention. Now the younger generation of the Lidong Miao Village on Hainan Island have left the mountains to seek refuge in Haihan. There are thousands of Li people working for the government, and many of them are With an official position like Fu Li, his status is no longer as low as it was during the Ming Dynasty.What's more, Fu Li's background is not Li Tong, but the powerful Haihan government, who would question whether his backing is strong enough?

Now that Fu Li sat on the viewing platform, the on-site command work was handed over to his deputy, Huang Tongyang.After the Spanish espionage case was cracked in 1634, Huang Tongyang was awarded as a meritorious person who participated in solving the case. The following year, he was promoted from the position of director of the Shengli Port Police Station to the Police Department.Now Huang Tongyang is serving as a deputy in the Special Operations Department, specializing in public security affairs in Sanya City.

Although his immediate boss was more than a round younger than himself, Huang Tongyang was very open about it.He has been working with Fu Li for a while, and he knows that his young boss is not like the rumors that he can climb so fast just because of his early age. Whether it is intellectual knowledge or dealing with people, Fu Li is actually superior. In addition to the rich experience accumulated over the years, he is definitely the best in the police department.If the positions of the two were transferred, and Huang Tongyang was the principal and Fu Li was the deputy. The deputy was not only capable but also highly appreciated by the executive committee, then he would definitely feel that he was powerless and would not be able to sit securely in this position.

The Police Department's arrangement for today's event was mainly planned by Fu Li and him.Huang Tongyang is no stranger to this kind of activity. When he was still the director of the Shengli Port Police Station, he would be transferred to participate in the maintenance of the order of the National Day activities every year. It's just that his position has been promoted and he has more responsibility. big.But with the experience of previous years, as long as the preparations are done step by step, generally speaking, there will be no major accidents.After all, in addition to more than [-] security policemen, there are three army units with more than [-] people, and more than [-] militiamen from the militia. Anyone who wants to make trouble in the port area has to weigh it first. Can I fight so many trained armed men?

Of course, such a deployment cannot completely prevent the occurrence of security incidents. During the festival, some people will inevitably drink too much and lose control of their emotions and cause trouble outside.Before the fireworks show started, Huang Tongyang had already dealt with four or five disputes involving drunkenness.However, there are enough people deployed in the port area. As long as there is any sign of such a thing, the police will immediately arrive in groups to arrest people and take them away.If the police were still unable to sober up after arriving at the scene and tried to resist stubbornly, then they would have to eat a baton before being sent to the prison.

In addition to dealing with troublemakers and alcoholics, there are also security incidents such as petty theft, molesting women, lost children, and lost items that require the police to deal with, so for Huang Tongyang, this is destined to be an extremely busy night.While the crowd enjoys the fireworks display, he may have to juggle several troubles at the same time.

"Master Huang, it is said that there is trouble at the entrance of the viewing area, and you need to go over there quickly to take a look."

Huang Tongyang just sat down and took a sip of water when someone came down to report that something was wrong again.Huang Tongyang stood up with a sigh and said, "You've been working so hard... let's go, go and see which guy who doesn't have eyes!"

Due to security needs, the entrance of the viewing area is also very heavily guarded. Not only are there barbed wire fences and roadblocks to reject horses, but there are also checkpoints jointly composed of the military, police and the Special Service of the Ministry of Security.Invited guests must show their invitations and report their names, and they can only enter after undergoing a security check.There are also personnel sent by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the checkpoint, who are responsible for checking the identities of the guests, lest someone Li Daitao stumble in.

On such occasions, guests would basically enter the venue early, and very few people would be late. However, there were several people blocking the entrance right now, negotiating with the personnel in charge of identity verification, and it seemed that they were blocked outside due to formalities.

As soon as Huang Tongyang arrived at the scene, the people stopped here immediately shifted their targets, and one of the middle-aged men said: "Master Huang came just in time, you can judge, this access certificate is not fake, why can't you enter?" field?"

Huang Tongyang knew the person who spoke. Although Jiang Han, the owner of Xinlong Teahouse in Sanya, was not a big shot, he was an old acquaintance who had lived in Sanya for many years.Two years ago, Liu Shang, a celebrity who jumped from the storytelling industry to the Propaganda Department, and then joined the Youth League, was discovered in Jiang Han's teahouse.However, Liu Shang later became a cadre in the north and was sent by the Youth League to stay in the north of Daming. Jiang Han also failed to enjoy the benefits brought by it.

Jiang Han has some businesses in Sanya, but in terms of business scale, he is still far behind the top businessmen in Haihan, so in terms of status alone, he should not be able to enter the viewing area on this occasion of.

Huang Tongyang saw that what Jiang Han and others were holding did not seem to be an invitation card, so he asked him to pass it over for him to see.Jiang Han was not timid at all, and directly handed the things in his hand to Huang Tongyang for inspection.

This time, all the guests invited by Haihan to attend the ceremony have official invitations, which not only state their identities, but each invitation is limited to a maximum of two people. If they enter the venue with their entourage, then the entourage can only be on the side of the viewing area A small area has been marked out to stay, and the regulations can be described as very strict.Of course, if there is one more thing at this time, there will be less trouble. This kind of deployment is also to avoid accidents as much as possible.

However, in addition to the guest of honor and entourage, there are still a large number of staff who have to enter and exit the viewing area during the event. In addition to these security personnel, there are also service personnel such as attendants, translators, chefs, handymen, doctors, grooms, etc., who are responsible for fireworks. The artisans who set off the fire, the fire brigade on standby to prevent fires, the pens of various newspapers, the logistics personnel who transported various items, etc., there are hundreds of people in total.The temporary entry and exit certificates these people got were just a small iron plate hanging around their necks, on which was the word "Lin" pressed out of fonts.

The entry and exit certificate that Jiang Han handed to Huang Tongyang was exactly such a sign.Since large-scale activities like this will issue temporary access certificates to the staff, the fonts used will be different each time, and it is a one-time item that is limited to the day.Moreover, it is impossible to forge such products stamped by machines in a short period of time, and the reliability is relatively high.Huang Tongyang held it in his hand and inspected it. It was true that the temporary pass for this event was correct, but Jiang Han and the others obviously did not look like staff members, so they were checked by the security guards at the entrance. Stop it.

"Where did you get this thing?" After confirming it, Huang Tongyang did not return the thing to Jiang Han, but asked him where it came from.In fact, he had already guessed in his heart that most of the staff were greedy for money and sold the pass to these businessmen who were willing to pay for it.As for the purpose of these people wanting to sneak into the arena, it is naturally to find an opportunity to make a presence in front of the big shots.

Jiang Han didn't answer his question directly: "Master Huang, if the thing is real, you should let me in, right? This is not an invitation card that requires a real name to enter. Why can't I enter with this sign?"

Huang Tongyang laughed and said, "Why are you taking this in? It's all for the staff. Are you going to pretend to be a cook or a groom?"

Jiang Han replied solemnly: "As long as I can go in, let me play any role!"

"Nonsense!" Huang Tongyang couldn't help scolding: "Is this an occasion where you can enter whenever you want? All of you, hand over your sign!"

Jiang Han was still dissatisfied: "Master Huang, I just want to go in and watch the performance, and I would like to say hello to the adults. Why do you have to be so stuck? I am just afraid of trouble. If I changed my outfit earlier, I would have mixed in ?”

Huang Tongyang was shocked when he heard this, and found that he seemed to be careless.He didn't care about Jiang Han at the moment, and just waved his hand: "Detain these people first, the viewing area is temporarily prohibited from entering and exiting, and all entrances and exits are blocked. Inform the special police team to gather in the viewing area immediately! By the way, contact the Special Service Department of the Ministry of Security Let us know over there, and tell them to send someone over quickly!"

Immediately, several policemen rushed forward, held Jiang Han and others down, took out the handcuffs and began to handcuff people.Jiang Han still didn't understand why Huang Tongyang suddenly turned his face, so he shouted for grievances.

Huang Tongyang, who had already entered the viewing area from the entrance, heard the voice and suddenly turned his head and walked back. Just when Jiang Han thought that things had turned around, he heard Huang Tongyang order another police officer: "Interrogate them immediately, no matter what method you use, within 5 minutes I need to know where their passes come from!"
