Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 701 Operation code name, Sword!
Luo Danian continued to operate the computer to present relevant case information.

Others pricked up their ears and listened quietly to the content of the meeting chaired by the boss.

"After an overnight interrogation by colleagues from the National Security Department, we have now gained general intelligence on Hong Jipeng's criminal group."

"Before sneaking into Hong Kong Island, this guy was a mercenary in the Golden Triangle area who provided transportation services for drug trafficking gangs."

"He was invited by Yan Guorong, chairman of Wanzhong Group, to sneak into Hong Kong Island."

"There are as many as thirty-six criminals accompanying them. All of them have actual combat experience and are equipped with various automatic firepower."

Having said that, Zhou Quan paused for a moment, and the expression on his face became completely serious.

"Most importantly, the Hong Jipeng criminal group carried more than 4 kilograms of C plastic explosives."

After hearing what the big boss said, all the uninformed participants at the scene felt huge waves rising in their hearts.

As senior police officers in the police force, their knowledge and experience are beyond doubt.

More than thirty mercenaries carrying heavy firepower and having experienced bloody battles are already terrifying.

According to international military organization practices, a special operations team usually consists of approximately six to twelve people.

The combat effectiveness of mercenaries is unknown. It may not be comparable to special forces, but it may also exceed that of ordinary special forces.

But even so, more than 30 mercenaries are not something that an ordinary police force of equal number can handle.

According to the worst-case scenario, this group of criminals could even rival at least three special operations teams.

This alone is enough for the entire police force to focus on responding.

What's more, this group of criminals actually had more than a thousand kilograms of C4 plastic bombs in their hands.

Even the management members on site would be familiar with this famous military explosive.

This is a high-performance military explosive mixed with more than 90% RDX.

If the power is concentrated, one kilogram can blow up a five-story building.

It weighs more than one thousand kilograms, so you can imagine how powerful it is.

If the explosion had happened in Hong Kong Island, every single one of the participants there would have seen their future police careers come to an end.

With such dangerous elements and such terrifying firepower, it is no wonder that the boss would directly convene a special national security operation.

For a moment, all the participants stared sternly at the boss at the top, quietly waiting for his orders.

"Due to the dangerous nature of the Hung Jipeng criminal group, I have previously ordered the National Security Department to formally define this group of criminals as terrorists capable of destabilizing the law and order of Hong Kong Island."

“Now it seems that this alone is not enough attention.”

Raising his hand to glance at the bauhinia flower and the red five-star dial on his watch, Zhou Quan once again looked around at everyone below with a sharp gaze.

"0921. I am now officially establishing the Emergency Response Team as the Acting Director!"

"I am the team leader, and all my colleagues here are team members."

"Operation code name: Sword!"

Zhou Quan always believes that the best defense is offense.

He would not wait until Hong Jipeng caused something big before cleaning up the mess.

According to his character, he would completely destroy Hong Jipeng's criminal group with the force of thunder and lightning like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Moreover, this operation was also the first time that Zhou Quan mobilized the entire police force as the actual top manager of the police force.

This time, it was the first time that Sir Quan led the police force to draw the sword, a sharp sword with its edge revealed.

Faced with the boss's final decision, all participants had no objection.

"Yes, sir!"

The next moment, all the participants stood up in unison, raised their hands and saluted. "Sit down!"

With a slight nod, Zhou Quan signaled his colleagues below to sit down again.

"Given the threat posed by these terrorists, I will be signing an executive order later."

Then, he continued in a more serious tone: "Now, I officially announce that the Hong Kong Island Police Force will be switched from Level 3 alert to Level 2 alert."

"All morning and afternoon shifts in all police districts in Hong Kong will be delayed by two hours."

"All frontline personnel, cancel your leave!"

"Inform the customs and immigration department and keep a close eye on the terrorists."

"PTU, especially SDU, raise your alert status by one level and be ready to fight at any time!"

The Hong Kong Police Force’s alert status is divided into three levels.

Level 3 alert is the standing state of the Hong Kong Police Force.

All police officers are on duty as normal, conducting normal patrols and maintaining public order.

Level 2 alert means that the Hong Kong Island Police Force has mobilized most of its forces and is ready to launch large-scale operations at any time.

As for the highest level of alert, there is no need to explain in detail. It means that the entire police force is on combat readiness.

Above these three levels of alert, there are actually higher levels of alert.

However, the Hong Kong Police Force is not qualified to define this. Only the decision-makers of the Hong Kong government have the ability to make the decision.

"For this Operation Sharp Sword, I make the following arrangements!"

An emergency response team has been established, the police force's alert level has been raised, and Sir Quan has begun to deploy troops.

"This operation is led by the National Security Department!"

"Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police, Director of the National Security Department Zhou Xingxing, serves as the direct commander!"

Zhou Xingxing stood up quickly and decisively. He looked around at his boss, superiors and colleagues around him, and saluted with a very standard military salute.

"Yes, sir!"

The case against Yu Hongjipeng was originally initiated by the National Security Department.

The leadership of Operation Sharp Sword will naturally fall on the shoulders of him, the director.

"The Commercial Crime Investigation Division and the Criminal Intelligence Division are responsible for tracking and monitoring Yan Guorong, the chairman of Wanzhong Group."

As soon as the boss finished speaking, Huang Furong and the Chief Superintendent of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau stood up and saluted, then accepted the task with serious expressions.

According to last night's interrogation record, although it has not yet been revealed that the Hong Jipeng criminal group sneaked into Hong Kong Island this time to hold hostage the main target of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel.

However, in the confession of the terrorist, it was mentioned that Yan Guorong, chairman of Wanzhong Group, helped them to smuggle and transport weapons and ammunition.

More than 4 mercenaries entered the country, carrying not only powerful heavy firepower, but also more than kilograms of C explosives.

Such a huge amount of money is not something that the human traffickers can accomplish.

Yan Guorong's personal connections played a very important role in this.

Although there is currently a lack of evidence to directly arrest Yan Guorong, this does not affect the police force's actions against him.

"Yes, sir!"

The two heads of the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau and the Criminal Intelligence Bureau saluted.

The expressions on their faces were serious, but they were very relaxed in their hearts.

Compared with facing terrorists directly, the tasks of their two departments are undoubtedly not difficult at all.
