Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 41: Two Ways to Perform Meritorious Service

Note: This chapter has been revised since the previous one. The terrorist from the previous chapter didn't escape and was ultimately killed by Rotun, meaning Rotun now has a significant accomplishment to his credit. Sorry, there may be some issues with the plot, but adjustments have been made. Please bear with me if there are any remaining shortcomings.

This is why Roton is unwilling to confront the terrorists head-on in his plan. The gap in equipment is too big. He is just a small sheriff and doesn't even have a pistol. He can only start from other places.

But I never expected that I would have a head-on confrontation with terrorists at the very beginning, but fortunately the result was good.

"The credit has been awarded." Rotun couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The risk is worth it. I originally wanted to use other safe ways to make a contribution, but I didn't expect that this contribution would be so great.

Of course, Bud and North probably don't know the value of this achievement yet.

Because they didn't know the shocking destructive power this group of terrorists would eventually cause to Mumbai.

However, killing a bandit is already a great achievement.

In North's opinion, Rotten could completely get away with this merit, and it would be impossible for Ada to put Rotten in jail based on the previous charges.

"Hurry up, get out of here." Rotun immediately shouted to everyone.

It's too empty here, there's no place to hide.

Although Roton knew that these terrorists would kill people in the Taj Mahal Hotel next and hold people in the hotel hostage and would not come out until they were shot, which means that it is safe outside now, but others do not know these things, so he has to save people to the end and put on a full show. Didn't he see that there were many people in the distance taking pictures and videos of him?

These can be used as evidence of my meritorious service in the future. At least I saved these foreigners. If it weren't for me, they would all be lying here.

The eight surviving foreign tourists were considered to have survived the disaster. Some of them were excited and happy, while others soon became sad and cried because their relatives or friends had died in the shooting.

At this time, gunshots and explosions were finally heard from the Taj Mahal Hotel. Roton knew that there should be four terrorists gathered inside, and the real battle was about to begin.

As a low-level police officer, he could not influence the decision-making of such a major event, so he could not change the main direction of this incident. Even if he killed a terrorist first, what was going to happen would still happen.

Of course, although he cannot make any decision on this matter, he can give some suggestions of his own as long as he finds the right time.

The suggestions he prepared were actually very simple.

In his previous life, Rotun had watched the process of the Mumbai terrorist attacks and some subsequent documentaries, and was deeply impressed. After all, he was in Mumbai at that time. Although he was not at the scene of the attacks, he could barely be considered to have experienced it personally.

There are many places where he can make achievements without taking any risks.

Roton's plan is based on two things. As long as these two things are done well, the credit will be great enough.

The first thing is, please help me find the interior floor plan of the Taj Mahal Hotel.

You have to know that according to the normal process in the previous life, when the anti-terrorist forces came to rescue, no one on the scene could provide an accurate and detailed interior floor plan of the hotel.

The hotel has a complex internal structure with more than 500 rooms. Without an accurate internal map, it would be like entering a maze.

Those terrorists have been in there for so long, they must have already set up guns in hidden places, waiting for them to attack.

It is ridiculous that no one is able to provide such an important floor plan. It is ridiculous that so much time has passed since the hotel was attacked and no one has done anything about it.

Isn't it ridiculous?

There's something even funnier coming up.

Without a floor plan, there was no other solution. Time was of the essence, and saving lives was paramount. So, at the urging of senior Mumbai government officials, the Black Cats had no choice but to ask hotel staff to lead the way in their first assault. At least the staff were more familiar with the hotel's interior, which was better than being completely clueless.

Such an attack was simply a joke with life. The first attack quickly ended in failure with heavy losses.

Roton knew that the Black Cat Commandos later obtained the floor plan. It was from an old mother of a foreigner trapped in the hotel who saw the terrorist attack on TV and was eager to save her son. She searched online for a floor plan of the hotel's interior.

She then passed the picture to the Mumbai police.

Outrageous?
High-ranking government officials, police officers, and anti-terrorism officers gathered here. These were all elites, but no one could think of these things. They couldn't even draw a hotel floor plan.

In the end, it was an ordinary citizen abroad who got the floor plan, and it was on the Internet. It's simply unimaginable.

But in India, this is a common practice.

Roton had tried searching on his computer before, and he actually found the interior floor plan of the Taj Mahal Hotel online.

So this is a chance for him to make a contribution. Then he won’t have to trouble that good mother abroad. He will make good use of it.

The second thing is to report the event live.

When the attack began, the media on the scene were all broadcasting live. The live footage they broadcast included interviews with senior officials on the scene, interviews with senior police officers and anti-terrorism chiefs on the action plan.

All of this was broadcast live on television, to the whole country and even the world.

The terrorist leaders behind the scenes obtained detailed information through these live TV broadcasts, such as the Mumbai government's next countermeasures, especially the anti-terrorist force's offensive plan, all of which were revealed through the TV screen.

When the Black Cat Commandos were attacking the hotel, the TV station's cameras were also following and filming. Isn't this telling the terrorists who is behind the scenes?
Then the leader behind the scenes used a satellite phone to give orders to the four terrorists in the hotel. It can be said that the Black Cat Commandos' attack routes were all under the control of the terrorists, and there was no secret at all.

The terrorists had already made preparations in the hotel and were lying in wait. When the commandos entered, they were attacked violently, resulting in heavy casualties.

So Roton was able to report this suggestion before the government reacted and cut off the live broadcast signal, which was another great achievement.

When you report it yourself, you will be in front of many people, so the credit will not be taken away by anyone. Moreover, if the higher-ups give you a reward for this achievement, you will benefit greatly from it.

Because he was just a police captain and his status was too low, this commendation was just a casual sprinkle of water to the big guys above him, but for him, it could shorten his police career by several years or even more than ten years.

Especially the influence that this achievement has brought to me is very important.

As for killing terrorists?
What does it have to do with him? Leave this kind of desperate task to the Black Cat Commandos, the famous counter-terrorist elites, because they are professionals.

After all, these terrorists are too brutal. Rodon would not risk his life to fight those lunatics. He is not one of those super sirs in Bollywood.

If facing terrorists directly involves armed struggle, then Roton's plans to make meritorious deeds are almost literary. If one can make meritorious deeds through literary struggle while ensuring the safety of his life, why take the risk of armed struggle?
The above is Rotun's previous idea and prepared way to make a contribution. He did not want to face the terrorists but killed them. He believed that this matter would soon be reported to the top leaders, and he would not be able to escape the credit.

After all, there were people around recording the video, and those eight foreigners could prove it.

In this way, the two ways of making merit originally prepared no longer had much impact on him.

But who would complain about having too much credit?

Anyway, these two merits are just suggestions, which can be earned with just a few words, unlike risking your life to shoot the terrorist just now, so when the time comes, you still have to get the credit.
