Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 938: High-level reception from the Thai side
Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok, Thailand.

A business charter plane of the Hong Kong Island Police Force slowly lowered its altitude and finally drove into the dedicated helipad.

As the gangway was lowered, five off-road vehicles painted in the livery of the Thai Police General Department and a bus of the same specifications arrived at the door of the Hong Kong Island Police Force's business charter plane.

A major general of police wearing a gray-blue uniform and carrying on his shoulders epaulettes with a maroon background and inlaid with a pagoda and two octagonal stars came forward with the Thai police reception staff.

The door of the business charter plane slowly opened, and a group of members of the Hong Kong Police Force's Transnational Operations Team, led by Ho Man-chum, walked down the gangway in an orderly manner.

"Hi, Mr. He, my dear old friend, long time no see!"

The moment he saw He Wenzhan appear, the Thai police major general's face was instantly filled with an extremely bright smile.

"Mr. Vitaya, long time no see, how are you these days?"

Chief Inspector He, who is always stern and cold-faced, also had a friendly smile on his face at this moment.

Before he completely stepped down the gangway, he took the initiative to extend his hand.

When he followed his boss to carry out the joint anti-drug operation between Hong Kong and Thailand, the major general in front of him was the actual operational contact person between the Thai side and the Hong Kong Police Force.

However, at that time, Mr. Vithaya was only the director of the Chiang Rai Provincial Police Station in Thailand, with the epaulettes of a police colonel on his shoulders.

To this day, Mr. Pongsaphat, the Thai police major general who met face to face with Zhou Quan at that time.

He has now been promoted to the rank of police general and serves as the Director-General of the Thai Police, becoming the highest person in charge of the entire Thai police system.

And Vithaya, a former police colonel, was promoted from colonel to general with the help of his boss, and took over his boss's former position.

According to the reception standards of that year, the Thai police major general was equivalent to the senior assistant commissioner of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

As a result, although Ho Man-champ is currently only the chief superintendent of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, the Thai Police Headquarters still sent Vithaya, who has already secured the rank of major general.

From this we can see that the relationship between the Thai Police Headquarters and the Hong Kong Police Force is very harmonious.

Over the years, the police systems of Hong Kong and Thailand have always been in a harmonious honeymoon state of cooperation.

The reason is very simple. The highest official of the Thai Police Department is a close friend of the top officer of the Hong Kong Police Force, Sir Quan.

As Pongsapha's power grew, his family's tropical fruit business in Southeast Asia naturally became more and more prosperous.

Hong Kong Island is one of the most developed cities in Southeast Asia. How could Phongsapa miss this lucrative market?

What's more, the deal between Zhou Quan and Peng Shapa back then included taking care of Peng Shapa's business.

Of course, as the highest person in charge of the police systems of both Hong Kong and Thailand.

The relationship between Zhou Quan and Peng Shapa could naturally not be a crude money transaction that would affect their own future.

The mutual care between the two of them is all legal, compliant and upright.

Although under Zhou Quan's care, the tropical fruit business of Pengshapa's family grew bigger and bigger in Hong Kong Island, there was no favoritism or fraud involved.

Pongsapa will never fail to pay even a single cent less in taxes.

Even the transportation channels all went through customs declaration procedures.

Sir Quan, the top officer of the Hong Kong Police Force, is kind and benevolent to his friends. How could Thai Police General Pongsaphat remain indifferent?

It’s a pity that the two major groups controlled by Zhou Quan did not involve any investment in Thailand.

The external operations of the Zhou Foundation are basically pure financial investment activities.

Even if it involves Thailand, Guan Youbo can completely command remotely from Hong Kong Island.

As for another communications and information group under Zhou Quan.

Although the production and R&D of communication equipment requires the establishment of corresponding physical factories, compared with investing in Thailand, Zhou Quan's hometown in the mainland is the best choice.

There is a saying that goes, good things should be kept within the family!
Rather than paying taxes to Thailand, it is definitely supporting the economic development of his hometown, which is more in line with Sir Quan's consistent philosophy.

In private business, Police Admiral Pongsapa was unable to take care of Sir Quan, so he had to expand it to the official level.

In return for the favor, the power in his hands steadily increased.

This has led to increasingly harmonious and tacit cooperation between the police systems of Hong Kong and Thailand in recent years.

For example, in this transnational operation led by Ho Man-chon, Police Admiral Pongsapah not only sent his trusted confidant, Police Major-General Vithaya, to pick up the plane in person, but also provided great convenience to the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

Each of the brothers following He Wenzhan carried two suitcases.

Compared with the previous joint anti-drug operations between Hong Kong and Thailand, this time the Hong Kong Police Force is not only equipped with some high-tech auxiliary equipment.

In addition, the brothers even transported a full set of weapons and equipment directly from Hong Kong Island for use when performing actual combat missions.

Unless necessary, overseas law enforcement officers may not use weapons within the territory of a sovereign state. This is a basic principle of transnational operations.

But today, Police General Pongsapak is the biggest principle in the Thai police system.

How to measure the necessary situation is just a matter of his own words, right?
This cross-border operation of the Hong Kong Police Force seems to be a coordination between Ho Man-champ and Vitaya.

But in fact, the top leader of the Hong Kong Police Force and the Commissioner of the Thai Police Headquarters had already made arrangements in advance.

"Sir He, please!"

After some friendly greetings, Major General Vithaya extended his hand and warmly invited Ho Man-champ and the operative personnel of the Hong Kong Island Police Force to the six painted police vehicles they were going to use to pick them up at the airport.

"We have prepared a command center and a highly confidential safe house for you."

"In addition to these, I have also mobilized a special police team to stand by, ready to cooperate with your actions at any time."

Vithaya carried out whatever his boss told him to do without any compromise.

At the same time, he did his best to facilitate the operations of the Hong Kong Island Police Force within the scope of his authority.

You know, he also has a share of the dividends from his boss's businesses in Hong Kong Island.

Both in public and in private, he was very enthusiastic towards He Wenzhan.

Otherwise, based on his current status and position.

The Chief Superintendent of the Hong Kong Island Police Force was simply unable to communicate with him on an equal footing.

"Mr. Major General, on behalf of my brothers, I would like to thank you and your Police Headquarters for the help you have provided."

The contours of He Wenzhan's slightly dark face became softer.

"At the same time, please convey our sincere greetings to your General Director, Admiral."

He stood as straight as a pine tree, stood at attention, raised his hand, and saluted solemnly in a standard Chinese military salute.

Even between him and Vithaya, there was no hierarchical relationship.

However, as the Chief Superintendent of the Hong Kong Police Force, there would be no problem if he took the initiative to salute a Thai major-general.

"Our two sides have always had a friendly and harmonious cooperative relationship. It is our duty to support the actions of the Hong Kong Island Police Force."

At this moment, the smile on Vitaya's face also faded, and he returned the salute in the same very solemn manner.

As the cooperation with the Hong Kong Police Force increased, Vithaya's poor Chinese became more and more fluent.
