Chapter 1376 Major Moves by Hong Kong Police
This ruthless robbery shocked the entire city of Hong Kong. Several Legislative Council members appeared on television to condemn the police for their inaction, and a Justice of the Peace even wrote a letter to the Governor of Hong Kong, demanding that Hong Kong's security be strengthened.
At this moment, the Hong Kong Police Force has undergone a major reshuffle. Chief Superintendent Peter Godber and several other high-ranking officials have been transferred back to London to face trial. It is estimated that by the time they are released, they will be old men.
Carlos officially took office as the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong, and Chan Chi-chiu became a superintendent, succeeding Lui Lok as the Director of the Criminal Investigation Department. At the high-level meeting of the Hong Kong Police Force, Chinese people finally appeared.
Carlos looked at his colleagues, all of whom, including the superintendents and chief superintendents, had their heads bowed and remained silent.
Carlos slammed his fist on the table and roared.
"*** You, you pigs! You get high salaries every month, pocketing the money allotted to you, but what are you actually doing? Playing golf, promoting hostesses at nightclubs, and going to massage parlors to solicit prostitutes without paying!"
The police force's reputation has now plummeted to an all-time low. All the newspapers are saying that Hong Kong has lost its sense of security, yet you all still act as if it's none of your business.
Didn't Gerber and James give you a warning? Gerber's future depends on his superiors' attitude. Do you think they already know about this?
So, how are you, including myself, supposed to deal with the officer's anger?
The moment the word "commander" was mentioned, all the high-ranking officers panicked and hurriedly said...
"Sir, we'll send people to investigate immediately. We'll find these robbers in three hours, no, two hours."
Carlos frowned as he looked at the people in front of him. It wasn't that these people lacked ability, but rather that they used Hong Kong as a springboard or a tool for making money. Therefore, before doing anything, they had to consider whether it would be beneficial to them.
This is truly tragic; if things continue like this, Hong Kong's security will remain a mess.
Just as these executives were talking amongst themselves, the conference room door was pushed open, and two secretaries walked in, arrogantly scanning the assembled guests.
Carlos bounced up immediately, as if springs had been installed under his buttocks.
Da Bao, dressed in a black suit, followed by Zhu Youzai, Chen Xijiu, and a group of security personnel, strode into the conference room.
Everyone stood up, stood at attention, and saluted.
Good morning, sir!
The secretary pushed Carlos aside, pulled out a chair for Da Bao, and Da Bao unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down, tapping the table with his fingers.
"Three things. The Police Force has established two new departments, two independent departments. The first is the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, abbreviated as O-Division. From this moment on, anyone who dares to admit to being a member of a triad or triad organization, whether they are spitting or urinating in public, O-Division has the right to bring them back for processing."
In other words, from now on, all matters concerning the underworld will be handled by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), and OCTB Superintendent Chu Lai-fuk…
Piggy stepped forward and gave a respectful salute to the officers. The foreigners looked at each other in disbelief, wondering if a second Chinese superintendent had appeared in the police force.
"Secondly, the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, or CIB for short, is responsible for intelligence gathering. It is an independent department that reports directly to your boss. The requirement is that you have one year. After one year, I need to know anything that has happened or is about to happen in Hong Kong."
Cib Superintendent Chan Sai-kau!
Chen Xijiu stood at attention and saluted his superiors.
"Chen Zhichao, as the CID chief, work with Zhuzai and Xi Jiu to select a suitable candidate. Understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
"The second thing, as everyone has seen, is that the newly established Special Task Force, also known as the Flying Tigers, will be equipped with the world's top-of-the-line weaponry, firearms, and vehicles, ensuring that they can respond to situations where the police mobile forces are unable to cope."
For example, in the robbery case in Tsim Sha Tsui that just happened, or in some terrorist attacks, as long as the criminals are difficult to subdue or have heavy firepower, the Flying Tigers are always the ones to handle.
The third issue is a legacy problem: our police officers were actually using wooden sticks to fight off the bandits' AK47s. This is simply ridiculous. I have already ordered a batch of Scotland Yard police pistols to be airlifted over.
From now on, except for clerical staff at headquarters and police stations, all police officers, regardless of gender, must carry firearms while on duty and return them to the armory for safekeeping after get off work.
This is a significant move, meaning that Hong Kong's mobile forces will henceforth be able to patrol armed.
Da Bao turned to Carlos and said.
"I have applied to the Finance Department for 50 million to replace our police patrol vehicles, police equipment, and all supplies, especially bulletproof vests. Our police are here to maintain order, not to die."
After speaking, Da Bao turned and left, leaving the higher-ups looking at each other in bewilderment. Surprisingly, their superior hadn't uttered a single complaint; every word he spoke was aimed at solving the problem. In the past, when problems arose, they would always pass the buck, eventually finding someone below to take the blame. Over time, everyone had gotten used to it.
"The current commander has actually applied for 50 million to replace equipment," Carlos said, turning his gaze to the deputy head of the equipment department without threatening him.
"The superior will be keeping a close eye on this fifty million. Don't touch it, or you'll be locked up for life."
The deputy director turned pale with fright and shook his head repeatedly.
"No, absolutely not. I will keep an eye on them and make sure every penny is used for our police officers."
……
That evening, during the TV drama broadcast, the Deputy Commissioner of Equipment of the Police Force personally appeared on camera to explain the Security Department's decision point by point. All the residents of Hong Kong now knew that the Police Force had put in so much effort to solve the security problem in Hong Kong. The previous propaganda on TV and in newspapers had caused the police force's reputation to plummet, but now it had returned to its peak.
When Da Bao returned home, Zhu Youzai and Chen Xujiu also came over. Today, the family chef cooked Shandong cuisine, which was rich in oil and sauce, and every dish looked very tempting.
Nuannuan and Niuniu exclaimed "Wow!" every time they saw a dish. The three little ones lying in the stroller next to them also exclaimed "Wow!" along with their older sister and aunt. Lu Xiu'e and Qin Qingyou went to Lou Bancheng's house to play mahjong. Now they are really letting loose and often don't come back until the middle of the night.
Da Bao was happy with them doing this; life is about living the way you like.
Today's dishes are all pork fat boy's favorites, especially braised pork intestines.
While eating, Da Bao chatted quietly with Zuo Mingyue, feeling that his wife was too bored staying at home.
"Honey, why don't you go to Hong Kong University to study finance, and then you can be the president of our two banks?"
Zuo Mingyue thought about it seriously. She didn't need to breastfeed, and the three little ones were already used to using Lingjing water to make formula. She also didn't have any close friends at home, so she might as well go and study for a while.
She nodded.
“Then we need to make this clear: I’m not bringing bodyguards. If they find out I’m the wife of the Director of Security, it’ll be even more troublesome.”
