The strategic bureau took full action and immediately pulled out this deep and dense combination of interests. In the Coast Guard alone, more than dozens of Coast Guard officers from the Zhejiang, Shencheng and Jiangsu detachments were arrested. The number of Coast Guard officers who gathered around these Coast Guard officers and also benefited from them was more than a hundred.
Considering that the main direction of smuggling of this smuggling gang is Japan and South Korea, in fact, the main coast guard areas for maritime trade with Japan and South Korea have been taken over by this gang of rampant criminals. After learning that there were moths in the three coast guard detachments, Qi Yiming felt both cold and disillusioned - without a big identity and background, he would never have the ability to corrode the three coast guard detachments.
In addition to the coast guard department, the customs also works hard to protect this traitorous criminal gang. Not only that, the customs also has the greatest interests. Every time a ship passes, the customs can take at least 10% of the profit. Ningbo alone The amount of bribes offered to the customs by the captured ship amounted to more than 20 million yuan. This is the first time that such a huge bribery case has been caught since Qi Yiming took charge of the new system.
¡°Nowadays, because there are multiple effective anti-corruption methods, and the National People¡¯s Congress has been given more supervisory powers, the number of corruption caught every year is relatively limited, and the level is relatively low. Although there is no guarantee that every high-ranking official's buttocks are relatively clean, at least they do not violate taboos. As for receiving some preferential treatment and being given some gifts that are not out of the ordinary, it is not overkill.
Just when Qi Yiming thought that although the country's corruption index might not be as good as that of Nordic countries like Norway and Sweden, it would not be a problem to rank in the middle or upper half of the world, but such a scandal broke out, and it not only involved economic interests. Qi Yiming was almost furious, wishing to cut all these corrupt elements and traitors into pieces and cut them into pieces.
Because of the extra anger, the entire Strategy Bureau worked extra hard to calm down the director¡¯s anger. They conducted meticulous investigations on various trades carried out by the customs, and the final results were even more shocking. Not only in the case of traitorous smuggling, some local customs have collected high bribes and condoned the smuggling of these people. Even in some ordinary items, many customs have turned a blind eye.
Those who are interested in the huge price difference between China's domestic products and export products are definitely not one or two greedy businessmen, but a considerable number of people. If the customs' integrity is still there, these people can only smuggle secretly, and they will be unlucky after being caught. However, some customs blatantly accept bribes from smugglers, allowing these smugglers to "smuggle" a large amount of smuggled goods into and out of the customs in a legal manner. Even false customs declarations occurred. Seeing the amount estimated by the Domestic Intelligence Division of the Strategy Bureau, Qi Yiming felt even worse. This huge number can almost be equivalent to some effects on the GDP for the whole year.
Not only that, some customs officials also manipulate their power. Because import and export trade is a considerable management right, as long as someone wants to cause some trouble, such as tampering with customs clearance time, customs declaration procedures, quarantine and other matters, it may cause huge losses to law-abiding traders. In order to avoid these difficulties, many businessmen spend a little money to manage customs. Moreover, China's traditional bribery culture does not think this is a problem at all, and condones this phenomenon.
What makes Qi Yiming quite helpless is that almost 80% of the cargo ships leaving the port are smuggled. It is just a matter of scale. The other dimension is where traders and crew members smuggle various in-demand commodities from abroad to China to make huge profits. Cars, brand-name luxury goods, and electronic products were once quite popular. However, at their own level, these traders are extremely keen on smuggling domestically produced goods to sell abroad. Low-priced high-end Chinese goods are very popular in Japan, South Korea, and even European and American countries.
Qi Yiming specifically notified the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Commission for Discipline Inspection on this matter, and was determined to launch a large-scale crackdown on this issue to completely eradicate this unhealthy smuggling trend. Although he knows that as long as Chinese products are still at a comparative advantage, the motivation for smuggling is still strong and will continue to exist, Qi Yiming can make the cost of smuggling huge and increase his control and binding power over smuggling.
Yokohama, Japan, this important port looks busy and calm. Japan's He tribe is a quiet nation. When you see Asian faces abroad, the loudest ones are Korean sticks, the quietest ones are Japanese devils, and the rest are all Chinese. After the economic miracle of the Showa era, and with the consequences of the Plaza Accord still not fully revealed at this time, the Japanese are now content with the economic achievements they have built. The economic aggregate ranks second in the world, and some Japanese brands have established their influence around the world. Although the Japanese do not feel that they can buy the United States, they still feel that life is very good.
In a secluded Japanese-style house, a bald Japanese man knelt on the ground in horror, his mouth was covered with tape, and his hands and feet were tightly trapped. In front of him were two men with evil intentions.Holding his man.
These two men naturally did not covet his anus. They kidnapped the man named Mito Kotaro in order to obtain information from him.
The man who looks a little thin but always has a sparkle in his eyes is named Bai Fen, and the man who is strong and strong like a strong man is named Wang Dongying. As soon as you hear their names, you can tell that they are all Chinese, working for the Strategic Security Bureau, and are agents stationed in Japan.
The traitorous smuggling case made the director angry. The entire bureau used various resources and vowed to get to the bottom of the matter. One of the main destinations of several smuggling cargo ships is Yokohama, Japan, and according to the captured captain's confession, he will hand over the production technology and technology of B-inch wafers to the Japanese named Mito Kotaro in Yokohama.
Wang Dongying is from Nanjing. His grandfather was out of town at the time of the massacre, but all his relatives died. This naturally spread hatred against the Japanese in the Wang family. When Wang Dongying first came to Japan, he almost killed the Japanese on sight. However, Bai Fen, who was trained as an assassin, told Wang Dongying that only by training himself could he hide among the enemies and attack them when he wanted to kill them. Showing a sincere smile is what a qualified agent should do.
Facing Mito Kotaro, Wang Dongying's cold-blooded temperament was vividly displayed. He said in Japanese: "Mr. Mito, I have a skill called the Muscle-Splitting and Bone-Splitting Hand. As the name suggests, it can ¡ÍI twist a person's muscles and bones." I have used it on some people, but unfortunately they were too fragile, and they often died of pain when I broke their fourth or fifth joint. I wonder how many times Mr. Mito can sustain it?¡±
Mito Kotaro swallowed. His eyes were covered and he could not see clearly the appearance of the two of them. However, after hearing these words, he was almost incontinent. After the tape was torn off, he kept saying: "Two adults. "You have arrested the wrong person. I am just a clerk in an ordinary trading company. I don't have much money. Please let me go. I still have a family to support."
Wang Dongying chuckled and said, "Then don't blame me for being rude." He stepped forward and put his hand on Mito Kotaro's shoulder. He didn't see any movement. Only a click was heard, and Mito's arm was removed by Wang Dongying. , Mito screamed like a slaughtering pig.
"If you don't put it on quickly, this arm may be useless soon. Mr. Mito, please think about it," Wang Dongying said in a conspiratorial tone.
Bai Fen found Mito's screams annoying. Although their place was very clean, they were afraid of attracting the attention of passers-by. After all, they were deep behind enemy lines. Bai Fen said to Wang Dongying: "We don't have that much time to play with him." , use L2.¡±
Wang Dongying sighed: "It's really boring."
L2 is a veritaserum given to agents by the Strategic Bureau. It needs to be used in combination with hallucinogens. When it is not available, morphine, cocaine, methamphetamine and other drugs can also be used. Almost no one can withstand this thing. Bai Fen took out the needle and injected Mito with hallucinogen and L2. After waiting for 10 minutes, the drug began to take effect.
¡°By the way, who do you serve?¡± This is a classic spy interrogation question.
"Internal adjustment." The drug made Mito's speech less clear, but it still did not affect the interrogation. Internal investigation is the abbreviation of the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office. It is not very famous, but it is the highest intelligence agency in Japan.
"Did an internal investigation ask you to steal China's technical information?"
"Yes, this operation was jointly commissioned by Japan and the CIAR in the United States. The goal is to steal China's important scientific and technological information as much as possible, focusing on information that can generate economic benefits in industrial production. After obtaining the information, Japan and the United States will share it. Results."
Wang Dongying was furious after hearing this, and immediately slapped Mito, but was stopped by Bai Fen because the interrogation had not been completed yet.
"How many people have you instigated rebellion in China? Who provided you with a convenient way to transfer China's important technical information?" Bai Fen continued to ask.
"Our work of instigating rebellion in China did not go very smoothly, and we did not instigate many important tasks. However, we achieved great success in another task. We came into contact with the son of a high-ranking member of the Chinese Central Committee and developed a close relationship with him. We suggested the smuggling business to him. Later, when the smuggling activities were progressing smoothly and in depth, we proposed that he help provide us with some technical and process information. In order to get him to agree, we paid. We paid 200 million yen and invited him to enjoy a month in Japan. Finally, after much psychological suggestion and persuasion, he agreed to our request.¡±
Wang Dongying and Bai Fen looked at each other and said to themselves: "We really caught a big fish."
